I have downloaded several sound files which I would like to use for "Notifications" email/sms etc. but I don't see those files when I go into
Settings - Sound and Display - Notification ringtone.
Do I need to put them in some specific folder structure or what?
thank you
If you are rooted, the stock notification sound location is:
/system/media/audio/notifications/

There's no need to stick notification and ringtone sounds in the system path though...
/media/audio/notifications/ and /media/audio/ringtones/ on the internal SD works fine too...And this doesn't require root...though root is so easy to obtain on these phones that it's hardly a distinction to care about...

Most apps have built in notification settings in the app's menu.
Open the app you want to change the notification> [phone menu button]> Notification
Additionally, you may find the app RingDroid useful:

Try Rings Extended from Market. It is what you are looking for.

Any of the current available options on Android do not allow you to change system sounds (lock/unlock/keyboard typing/etc) but if you are Rooted you can do it manually by using Root Explorer, navigating to System/Media/UI and replace the files accordingly.
Remember to use the same name and reestablishing the correct file properties for them to work after a reboot.
Cheers!

I'm sure that a lot of you know this already, and also that most of you enjoy the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. However, in case any of you wanted the simplicity of the AOSP lockscreen, here is a simple way to do it. With the Evo 4G it was the same way, but you needed to use the AOSP clock for the alarm to function properly. So far I've had no issues with it here, I'm able to unlock the screen and click dismiss, and the alarm turns off. So I've had no problems using it yet. If you have a screen lock or whatever, you'll need to enter it to unlock before being able to dismiss. That is good, to ensure you're really awake, lol.
Using Root Explorer or any other root level file manager, such as ES File Explorer, navigate to the /system/app folder. Scroll down to HtcLockScreen.apk, and rename it to HtcLockScreen.bak (I prefer to rename change the file extension to .bak so the app disables, in case I choose to go back to it, it's as simple as changing it back to .apk and rebooting). Once the HTC lockscreen is disabled, you're left with the stock AOSP lockscreen, which is there all along. Don't forget to make sure Root Explorer is mounted as R/W before doing that. Once done, reboot. You should then have the AOSP lockscreen.
EDIT: And btw, I'm currently not using the Rosie launcher. I'm using the stock gingerbread launcher, so I'm unsure if or how this will affect using Rosie. Report back if there are any problems with that, so others know. Thanks.

Awesome. As cool as the animated weather lockscreen is I think that whole ring thing is just stupid. It's ugly and not very intuitive. Not to mention it is not smooth at all.
But I gotta ask, how do you use the stock GB launcher? I've tried but the app drawer is always in oriented wrong...

I'm using the launcher from the Supra rim thread. He has an apk attached. I haven't had ant issues with it. The apologize drawer doesn't have that "rounded scroll " effect when you scroll it, if that's what you mean. Otherwise it works great.

I thought so too at first. But a month and change in (for the most part) and I found that I almost never used those shortcuts. I'm talkin' single digits here...perhaps countable on one hand....the weather is really cool, but, that ring...I'm all like "what?" But, as usual around here, to each his own.
Thank god for the stock lock screen...thanks OP

It is a good lock screen. But either way it's always best to have options.
I'm now trying to switch to the AOSP lockscreen. Works fine when I rename the htclockscreen.apk file but... I'd sure like a way to turn off the menu button which completely defeats the entire lock system. Reason I want to switch is that HTC still doesn't know how to make a lock screen that doesn't constantly pocket answer. Sense 3.0 is no better. So the AOSP lockscreen would do the job: if I could disable the menu button so that pressing menu does nothing (like it should). Anyone know how to disable the menu button on the lockscreen? Would also be nice to turn off the haptic garbage when sliding the slider too.
Any info? I found a flash for the Evo 4G that disables the menu button on the lockscreen but it involved replacing a .jar file in the framework folder. I'm thinking an Evo 4G file in there would probably not be compatible with the Evo 3D so we probably need our own file, right?
Thanks,
Mike
Hell yeah. Just what I've been looking for. Thanks. Works great!
is there any way to do the opposite?
use aosp throughout the whole rom
but have the htcsenselockring?
sorry if it had already been asked.
Guess I'm stuck with the HTC lockscreen answering in my pocket. You lose too much using the AOSP lockscreen:
(1) Caller ID on lockscreen: have to unlock to see who is calling and after that, there's no way to relock before you put it back in your pocket: pressing the power button disconnects the call. Smart!
(2) Menu button completely overrides the lock. Again... SMART!
(3) Idiotic haptic feedback while sliding the lock.
Just wish HTC would do it right. All they'd have to do is offer a side to side or different type of unlock as an option. Screen Suite actually works pretty well but you have two choices of a lock slider: iPhone (don't get me started) and a stupid cartoony spaceship that looks completely ghey. Sigh... this should be SIMPLE!

There is a ROM that has that, it has the sense lock screen but an ASOP look. Sadly I forgot which one it was since I flash like every other day.
Edit: Its Project ROM.
The easiest way to get the AOSP lockscreen instead of Sense imo is just go into Titanium Backup, go to Backup/Restore tab, scroll down to HTC Lockscreen(not sure of the name of the actual app but it is obvious and has HTC Lockscreen in the name), uninstall it and then reboot your phone and you will have AOSP lockscreen.
I used this method but now when my screen is off and I receive a call, I have to unlock the screen, but it only displays the red end button as if I am already in a call. It does not allow me to answer the call. Any remedy to this? Thanks

Is there a way to change the stock sound of the water touch sound?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
If you use Root Explorer you can navigate to system/media/audio/ui and change sounds there. If there's an easier way maybe somebody can help you but that's how I do it
edit: you'll have to copy the new sounds and rename or delete the orignal sounds to change them
You should be able to copy the ui sounds from another rom...like one of the Jelly Beans builds by Beanstown106,
he uses AOSP sounds which I prefer. Or you could just use the mentioned rom and have sounds built in.
Of course the beanstown link isn't working. I hate the touchwiz sounds
i am in the same boat, i can not stand the water sound for touch, so i just keep this on my sdcard so i can add it to the list of zips i flash after a new rom, or test builds or what have you
feel free to use if you like
its the aosp touch sound, its just a quite click, it changes the defult touch sound as well as the softkey/captive button touch sound.

Thanks, ill save that. I found a few simple sounds in the ui folder and renamed them to the appropriate thing. Only thing I can't seem to change or am overlooking is the dialer sound key press. But other than that its perfect. No more stupid water sounds on touch or keys or unlock. Depending on the sounds you're using, it tricks your mind and makes it seem quicker without the long water sound.

the dialer is
Dialer_new.ogg ( if memory server me)
and i know there is a gallery one too... just cant remember where/ what its name is hell it may be in the gallery apk itself.
Also, if anyone is having problems getting sounds to work once replaced, make sure that you set the permissions on the new file appropriately. The permissions should be: rw- r-- r--. Hope this helps someone.

hi! I come from a nexus 4 and I don't quiet like the Sony lock screen.. is there a way of changing it with a stock android one?
I kinda second this.
While there are numerous apps that act as lockscreen replacements, none of them actually do the job well. The one that comes closest to pure AOSP is Holo Locker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker), but it's closer to ICS than it is to KitKat.
'Tis a shame since Sony's UI can actually be made to resemble AOSP, except for the single most seen screen on the phone -- the lockscreen (even the wallpaper can only be a static image ffs).

If you are on rooted your device then just delete the lockscreen apk and odex file from /system/app folder. now you are on stock lock screen.
I was looking for a way without using root.. I prefer wait for a root that doesn't lose DRM Keys..

Might I ask what the name of the lockscreen apk is? I found keyguard in priv-app but nothing of the sort under the app folder.
Have any other tips to make stock look like AOSP?

How did you make it work?
I tried deleting the Keyguard.apk and its .odex, that failed. Next, I tried an Xposed module but all I got from that was a bootloop.
Please, anyone?

If you don't use Pin or Pattern protection you can try disabling the lockscreen alltogether. The wallpaper thing was annoying me also. I've turned the thing off, works just fine to me.

I do prefer having a swipe lockscreen of some sort to place a widget (such as CLock) to be able to see things with a single push of a button, without really unlocking. Sony's way of doing lockscreens is just absurd, especially the way you can't set the background to match your homescreen. And those sparkles, ugh, don't even get me started.
Xperia Xposed let my live wallpaper show on lock screen
Tried many Xposed Xperia modules, all of them got me a bootloop.

The Keyguard.apk is the AOSP one so don't delete that, look for XperiaLockScreen.apk in the app folder and delete that.

I swear there is no XperiaLockScreen in there. And no, I didn't delete it, else I'd leave an .odex behind. Despite it missing, it's still working perfectly. Or, rather, as Sony intended it to work (which is, for me, far from perfect).
(See the attachment if you don't believe me -- I always leave .odex behind when I delete system apps just in case something goes wrong and I have to restore it from an earlier backup)
I absolutely love ACDisplay, similar to the motorola lock screen, and I really like the minimalist approach. I set it to show my background instead of the black screen and I think it looks great in combination with Tapet wallpaper app.

Can AcDisplay be set as the lockscreen (that is, can it be set to show itself even when there are no notifications)?
Having it wake up the screen will probably drain the battery as well, so unless there's a way to basically set it to act as a normal lockscreen, I'd avoid it.

Attach that XTP.apk or have a look at the res folders for any images that show what it might be for, they may have renamed it, or changed the way the Keyguard.apk works.

The XTP one is pretty much empty, no res folder, just the manifest and meta-inf. The keyguard is interesting though -- this is Sony's lockscreen!
Any chance replacing this with an older Xperia's Keyguard would work?
And to answer my own previous question -- AcDisplay can be made into the lockscreen. A damn good one, too, though I'd still like a system app.

They always have to make things that little bit more difficult it seems. You could try the old one for nothing, the attached one is a deodexed one from Z1C 157, can you attach yours, I'd like a look at that.

Yes you can set it to be as a normal lock screen. It works great, especially with double tap --> double tap to wake up (check clock or notifications) and again double tap to turn off the screen.
You can also set that notifications don't wake up the phone.

Installed last night, works like a charm. Nice to see it's an Xposed module as well
Though I really do prefer KitKat's AOSP feel to this (WHERE IS CM11 DAMMIT).

I tried the Z3C on mine and the SystemUI crashed at startup so had to flash my backup, but at least thats a hint as to how to possibly make it work.
