[Q] System Sounds? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, has anyone been able to figure out how to change the notification sound of the built in Email client? (Not Gmail). It's an annoying bell and I see no option anywhere to change it. I've been through the system settings AND through the email settings -- maybe I am missing something.
Also, is there a way to change the water sounds to the regular Android sounds?
Thanks in advance!!

Not sure about email client but to change to android sounds u need to root.
Extract ringtones u want from a different Rom...ie an S2 ics Rom for example.
Then use root explorer to place new tones in /system/media/audio/ringtones.
Reboot and the new tones should show up in settings for u to select. .
Hope this helps.

Mine show up under the email settings...
Open the e-mail>>settings>> select the email address that you have added... scroll to the bottom... Notification settings...
This is a per e-mail account setting so they are "hidden" under each attached account

Thanks! I'm already rooted, but there is no option to change touch tone sounds, even if I added more to the directory.

So basically it's just like the Gmail settings then? Cool. Thanks.

Found them, they are all in the UI directory. One controls touch, one is for back, etc. They all have to be changed in order to get rid of the 'water' sounds.
It's called: /system/media/audio/ui/
The two files I have found so far are:
TWTouch.ogg
S_HW_Touch.ogg
Now if I could just find the standard Android touch tones somewhere.

Handcent - Settings - Conversation list settings - Display contact pictures
You can set your own account picture and that of others.
Also, if you go to settings - Account - Handcent Themes, register and you should be able to download themes.
is it possible to increase the limit of 160 characters?
no, I don't think it is

how to change notification sound

If there is a way i will appreciate it sharing it with me.
Thanks

Settings -> Sound & display settings -> Notification ringtone.
If you want to add your own notifications and ringtones, create a "Ringtones" and "Notifications" folders on the SD card and put sound files in there.

The Skype notification sound is built into the skype app itself. The only way to change it is to decompile the skype apk using apktool, swap the sound files around, repackage it, sign it and push it back to your phone. Its quite complecated if you don't know what you are doing.

Notification Sound

Where can I configure sounds to be different for email vs sms/txt messages?
When you open email and go to settings you will be able to set whatever tone you want and the same applies to sms (again go into settings)
Thanks. What do you guys use as notification noises?
Use anything you want. Google "Zedge" they have hundreds on there and you'll be spoilt for choice, and its free.

Remove Samsung apps from ICS

Hi, I believe I read that with ICS, Google made it possible to remove carrier and phone producer apps. I have been through the settings but can't seem to find where to do so. Can someone help me?
Also, how do you remove eg. the contacts or messages icon? Before the update it was no problem to replace the custom SMS icon with another app, but it seems impossible now.

go to PLAYMARKET and get ICONCHANGER (RootUser) and you can download icons from the APPandTHEMES or you can create them on pgn format ! its so f. easy
I think you misunderstand, I want to replace the stock SMS app shortcut with a shortcut to the Go SMS app. But thanks anyway
-------------
Edit: I found out, I remembered it incorrectly and it's just going to apps, edit -> drag icon down to the touchwiz bar.

[Q] Notification sounds

Is there an app out there that allows me to attach different notification sounds for different types of notifcation. For example, I want it to play a different sound for email than it does for SMS.
I've had a look at Tasker in the sticky but it looks to complicated for a complete NOOB like me.
I've done a search in this forum but couldn't easily find anything that helped.
I'm running unrooted 4.2.2.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi there man,
all you need to do is set the notification from the app itself.
for example gmail: go to settings>[email protected]>notification and change to whatever you'd like.
If you wanna add different types of notifications you can either use an app from playstore like "zedge" or copy to your device in the path: /sdcard/notifications

Cheers, I'll try that
You might try the app Light Flow. In addition to changing led lights it can also change the sound notifications of apps. It's available in Google Play and the paid version has the notification sounds manager.
