hi guys,
i have a problem with the app Sound Recorder (stock and from market), they cannot write properly my file system apparently, i have root and i changed permissions recently on the file system for other things.
stock soundrecorder gives me "cannot access SD card"
and another one tells me "unable to access file system"
i can find the files on the sd card (so looks like they are recorded) though when i click for opening there's no way to open them, i can use another app, as long as it doesn't write an .amr file.
i think the problem is either permissions on the SD card or codecs related, is there a way to check that permissions are ok AND to reinstall stock audio codecs like we do on windows for example?
i opened the .amr file with another app from market and they had an awful background noise though, so i think it's 90% codecs related.
thanks

I got this problem before. It is due to stagefright being enabled. disable it in build.prop in system.
media.stagefright.enable-player=false

How to delete preinstalled ringtones
How to delete preinstalled notification tones
How to add notification tones (without an SD card)
It's MotoBlur causing all these troubles for me, not Android, right?
none is causing trouble. To delete, you first of course need root. mount the system. then you can delete and add and just reboot to have it take affect. Navigate to the directories below to delete or push your new sounds over to them.
system/media/audio/ringtones
system/media/audio/notifications
ES File Manager, cannot paste. Eh? I'm rooted though?
Is it easier to use some other file manager? Or some app to chmod? Or is that terminal only?
you can use root explorer. es file manager, is that a root browser? if so you have to mount read/write before you can edit.
ah and a reboot

yeah in post 2 i mentioned you need a reboot for it to take affect. glad this is solved haha.
you will need to root, make sure you have moto mediascape installed on your computer so you have the drivers and software installed,
after you have rooted, you simply open up a folder that is within your atrix's memory, it will state "RINGTONES" just slip your ringtone in there and go ahead open up ringtones from your phone and set it to whatever you have installed.
Hey guys I just rooted my phone I download root explorer as an apk file and installed it through astro file manager. I want to turn the shutter sound off my camera when I take photos and get ride of the battery life limit thing.
everywhere I read they say I have to creat the file local.prop - "/data/local.prop"
How do I do this with root? I tried renaming the shutter_01.ogg file in /system/media/audio/ui but its a read only file
please help!
you should mount the /system. w.
write and read. then you can edit it.
but my fw is no sound when it's in silent mode. theres no need to delete or rename the file

I created a CWM patch if you want to try it.

+ check file in system/media/audio replace the shutter sound with silent sound
+ edit the camera.apk to remove two sound file inside it to silent file

toggle the Mount R/W box at upper root explorer apps till it change to Mount R/O, then rename the shutter_01.ogg.bak this will remove the shutter sound. You can remove the other camera sound using this method, except for the autofocus sound...
Hope this will help >.<
In the main file on root explorer (when you open it up) I can onlt hange it from remount as R/O to remount as R/W and whne I go to system/media/audio/ui it has
says under it /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 (r/o) - remount as R/W and you cant change it to anything there
Confused! I have a sound file on the SD card that I used to use for the notification sound of my prior phone (shift). All the sound files need to be in a dir under system/media/audio/ notifications. I tried copy paste via Astro but the permissions prevent the paste action. How do I get the file moved to where the LTE is expecting it?
I can get it to show up as a ringtone choice. But when I go to settings, sounds, default notification, it is not there.
I have had some issues with astro lately when using it to 'move' (copy paste). Just a hunch, but try doing this using Root Explorer.
Solved:
After failing to copy via all file explorer apps I connected to my computer with debug mode on. I was able to copy paste to the notifications folder & now the phone lists it as a choice. I made it my default & all is well. Lot of work for a simple task?

If you are not r00ted, or S-OFF, HTC Dev unlocked, you will not be able to use Astro or Root Explorer (my personal favorite) to move the files to the correct location, so you would need to download the notification.
Settings => Sound => Notification Sound
Then, you will see an option called "Shifter" which might be the same.
If not, click on the [Get More] button in the upper-right hand corner, to download whatever you like.
If this fails, then you can connect to your computer via USB ~ TWRP Recovery has a great mount option as well... ~ and you can copy and paste at will.
Can anyone here help or assist me, How to change the Galaxy S3 Touch Sound???

This requires root!
The sounds (by default) are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/
!NOTE: This is for system/OS sounds. Notifications etc are not stored here!
Screen touch sound is "TW_Touch.ogg" and back and menu button sounds are "S_HW_Touch.ogg"
If you would like to change the sound to something else, find a mp3 or something that you would like to use then convert it to a .ogg format.
Can be done on this website: htt$p://audio.on$line-convert.$com/convert-to-ogg *Remove $ symbols from URL
Then rename your new .ogg to either "TW_Touch.ogg" or "S_HW_Touch.ogg" dependent on what sound you would like to change.
Place the .ogg file on your sd card and move it the mentioned directory and overwrite (delete) the original .ogg file (backup first).
Then remember to set the permissions of the .ogg file to "rw-r--r--" and make sure it is named correctly, it is case sensitive.
Reboot system and enjoy your new sounds :good:
I tried everything that you said and it doesn't work for me. When i try to move/overwrite the file it tells me "Cannot copy or move file". When i try to delete the orginal file first it tells me "Warning - Could not delete". I am on stock rom and rooted. When i try to change permissions to the original files it gives me error "unable to chmod /system/media/...bla bla". What to do?
Ok. I got it. Thanks for everything!! Thumbs up!

Your root has failed, download root checker to see.
If it fails you will need to re-root with CF-Root.
Very Awesome. Thanks for the help.
I am running into an issue. My phone has been verified as rooted by rootchecker. The only way I can see the root directory on the phone is with Astro File Manager. Once in the correct folder, I can see the TW_TOUCH.OGG file and have a replacement. However I can't write to the folder. I can't even rename the original. Checking the properties of the file I don't see any notations that the file or folder are write protected. I assume the entire drive is per se with the exception of the \SDCARD directory.
Is there a better tool for doing all this? I'd like to have something I can use from a PC as well.
Thanks,
Karl
Use Super Manager or Android Commander .

First you need to Root.
There are good guides around here.
I'd recommend ES File Explorer
Download it then
Open ES File Explorer
Menu > Settings > Root settings.
Check Root Explorer
Click Grant when SU popup appears.
Check Up to Root
and Check Mount File System.
Now it will copy succesfully to the system folder.
Slightly easier
No need to do renaming. Save desired oggs to your ext sd card.
Use Root Browser (ES doesnt seem to go to system no matter)
Use Root Browser. Go to your ext sd card. Long press on the desired .ogg. Copy it.
navigate to the folder l /system/media/audio/ui/ as instructed above.
Click paste. If your file is named correctly it will ask 'replace?' click yes. Do the same for the other file.
Reboot. You have to reboot. How it still plays water droplets before rebooting Idk. But reboot and you back to clicky goodness. (who thought of that water droplet. Chinese water torture.)
Edit: I attached the two files. Change from .txt to .ogg.
operation failed?

Rw-r-r. In a grid of 1 to 9, top left to bottom right, 1,2,3,4 ticked. 5,6,7,8,9 unticked. Should be immediate but if not, just reboot.

Ok thanks. One more thing is it possible to add system sounds to it? Like a sound when i press the home button?
