Nope, since you need to mount your system position as writeable

SGS3 Sounds won't play - DETAILS ???
This does NOT work as easy as described, i've done it properly.
There has to be some definite soundfile description (stereo,
mono, datarate etcetc) Normal rate, mono/stereo is a no go!!!
I converted sounds (wave to ogg), uploaded them (via root etc)
and exchanged them the original sounds. Thing is, they just do
NOT play back. I did a conversion with a standart program,
files are .ogg ..Mono or Stereo does not matter. Won't play.
Actually to be able to exchange/overwrite the original sounds
IT might be a good idea to just rename them. (after deleting
the non playing copied sounds and renaming the originals
to their standart name, all standart sounds play back again.)
That is for:S_HW-Touch.ogg + TW_Touch.ogg + PowerOn.ogg
UPDATED:
The original system sounds of the SGS3 4.1.1 are in stereo
format at 44khz. That's for the BLUAAAB sound and the start
chime KLOOOAAAANG (..naahh, that was the windows thing)
Lame Update:
LAME-Update 2:
Even when using the original soundfile, silencing the sound
with an editor, mixing a new sound "over it" ..which leaves
the original soundfile size AND saving it with the same name
with the same datarate in the same stereo-format ..SOUNDS
won't play back. THAT IS LAME. Also very lame of the super
soundesigners at Samsin IS that all files are in stereo. The
startsound is 80k (stereo) but could have been 40 (in mono).
It's a very lame concept. the phone has ONE mono speaker.
Also lame are the SGS3 sounds, come on. That's all stupid.

More Ringtones than you can shake a stick at.

I have put together a file containing 216 ringtones and 114 notification sounds. The file also contains all the standard Vibrant system sounds. The ringtones and notifications have been pulled from different sources including stock Vibrant, Heathens M9 Clone Alpha, Eugenes Macnut R12, HTC, LG, and Droid X plus one or two others that I forget. Simply unzip the file and copy the included Audio file to your SD. Once there delete the audio file currently in system/media the move then move the new audio file to system/media with Root Explorer or the like. Reboot once to let media scanner do its thing. Again I have included the standard Vibrant sounds that came with your phone, system and all. This way you can just replace the audio file currently on your phone and not end up with any duplicates. Be warned the file is 33Mb. Also the M9 sounds have not been translated and are in either Chinese or Korean
And the standard I am not responsible for bricked phones, your dog leaving you, your wife biting you or the next world war.

Change shutter sound - Xperia Arc s

Hey guys. Can some1 make a short guide on how to change shuttersound on Xperia Arc s? Im sorry for the bad english.
Im rooted and was playing around in rootexplorer the other day. And found system/media/camera map!
It contains maps named "sound1 sound2 sound3 sound4"
(map sound4 contains the "silent shutter sound")
I thought for myself, hmm yeah.. Lets try customize the shuttersound! *Yaay*
So i downloaded some nice sounds from internet and converted them into m4a
(cause thats the original format in the "sound1"/2/3/4 maps)
Every "sound" map contains 3 m4a sounds.
I Renamed my 3 downloaded soundeffects to the same name as on phone wich is
start_rec.m4a stop_rec.m4a and shutter.m4a
And i replaced them into one of the "sound maps".
I choosed the "sound2" map cause thats a horrible shutter sound on the Arc!
Now i right clicked and checked properties to make sure they had the same properties as the original m4a's, and they had!
So i restarted the phone and opened camera and tried change shuttersound to my new awesome one "shuttersound nr 2"
But nothing happens. When i changed to "sound2" in the (camera menu) my sound won't preview play, as the other shutter sounds. So nothing happens.
I check sound2, goes back and takes a photo. The old enoying sound is back. (Even though I has moved them from the sound2 map)
So ive tried to do it all over, in different formats. I have tried ogg wma and mp3. Still not working!
So i gave up for the day and replaced the original sound effects back to the sound2 map. They still working (wich is good) even though i've moved them around on the sd card various times (like a backup if something goes wrong, as it did)
So im pretty much back to stage 1. All shuttersounds works great but are aweful! And i still want to change sounds.
If you have read this far and still doesnt understand my bad english im talking about the sounds when you take a photo, start recording and stop recording. I really want tho replace them
I hope some1 can fill up this thread with there awesome knowledge! haha thanks anyhow.
Any1? I really hate my camera sounds ;(

[Q] Blackberry 10 Keyboard Sound File On Android?

Anyone know if the sound made when typing on Blackberry 10 devices can be used in the same way for Android devices?
>>Faultyy, I've been wondering the same thing ever since BB OS 10 came out -- that key tap sound is so satisfying to listen to, I really want to use it on my Android keyboard. Gonna continue trawling Google to see if someone's managed to extract the sound file....
GOT IT - downloaded the BlackBerry OS 10 developer kit, ran an app on the device simulator, captured the keypress audio using Audio Hijack Pro as a max quality .WAV file, trimmed and adjusted volume, saved as .OGG file, and here we are!
This .OGG sound file needs to be extracted, and renamed to whatever the stack Android keypress sound file is, which is located in /system/media/audio/ui. For Samsung phones, you need to rename this sound file as "TW_SIP" (without the quotes) and then rename the original sound file to "TW_SIP1" in case you want to go back to the original.

criptyque, I was able to extract and rename but my S4 keyboard still has the horrid typewrite sound. I renamed the original TW_SIP and added_orig to the end just so I could keep it. This did not change the sound after a reboot. Did I miss something? Also, because I am a SwiftKey user and they refuse to add different sounds to their app I'd like to apply the same to SwiftKey. Searching produced 0 results but there is bound to be a way to do this. Why these developers incorporate such irritating sounds is beyond me. Thanks!:good:

Same thing here.
I followed the steps but I still have the same annoying TW key sound.
Any kind help?
Gosh this was nearly two years ago now, please forgive me for I can't remember in great detail the process! But I would have thought that as long as you named the new sound file as TW_SIP.ogg and put that in the folder specified, and obviously had root, it should work after a restart.

Thank you but unfortunately...not!
Even if I delete the TW_SIP.ogg file and I reboot, I still have this sound in typing
Really odd thing
Can any1 help with a better ogg file? The one posted earlier is not like the original.
Thanks!

ViPER4Android Audio Effects (V4A FX v2.4.0.1 released - February 1.)

ViPER4Android is just amazing experience for music lovers and greatly improves performance of our DAC. Original thread in Development and Hacking / Android Software Development received more than three million views and OP @zhuhang did amazing presentation in first couple posts. V4A developer is @viper520.

You got to be rooted and have SuperSU and BusyBox on your G2. It's reported that SuperSU plays nicely with ViPER4Android and Superuser could have some difficulties.
App will install drivers for you and make sdcard/ViPER4Android/Kernel folders in your main storage. Follow instructions from the app. Basically, just pick desired audio quality / battery consumption. Reboot. If ViPER4Android folders are not automatically created, see EDIT at the bottom of this post.
In sub-folder named Kernel extract IRS files from attachment (at the bottom of this post) or downloaded Starter Pack from OT. Reboot again. In order to see Convolver / Impulse Response (IRS) files, go to UI Setting and choose Expert option.
I removed some IRS files from original starter pack and cherry picked some more free IRS files from other packs.

Wow, I'm definitely looking forward to trying this out. How did you find out about it? Can you change settings on the fly? I read some of the main thread, the auditory calibration sounds awesome, since my ears are different and I have trouble hearing high frequencies. That says coming soon for that feature, but damn this guy knows his stuff!

I StumbleUpon it. LOL. Yes, you can change settings on the fly. So much to explore and experiment. Don't be afraid to change some settings but be careful with volume control. Start with 40% and don't go over 50% in first couple of hours because some combination of settings will give you volume boost up to 8dB. Maybe even 10dB boost. I set speaker settings with 8dB boost so watching YouTube videos with 30% volume feels weird at first. Still exploring. Probably it will take days before I become familiar with every option.
This is just what the doctor ordered! Hope it works with BLUETOOTH.

It's got three main tabs. Settings for Headphone, Speaker and Bluetooth.
Yes I know. However I have tried similar things in the past and the effects for BT never seemed to work. Hoping this one is different. Will report back after I try it.

In the FX app, make sure convolver is ticked. Then press impulse response and it will tell you the folder is empty. It JUST created the folder you are missing. Go back to your file manager and copy the files there.

Thanks for the heads up on this Viper app. I will definitely try it out when I get my G2.
I am just curious if you ever did the "Increase Speaker Volume" fix in the thread below on top of installing ViperAndroid. I wonder if the combination of both the fixes will make the G2 speaker even better.

[Q] can I change my startup tone

Please, I use OPSSON D1S, MT6572.
After reading a thread on xda about increasing the camera quality of your droid, I wanted to edit it but I couldn't, so I was searching through my fone with root explorer, I then came across an audio in system/media, named bootaudio.mp3 and shutaudio.mp3.
I presume both to be startup and shutdown tone.
So I ask, can I change both and how do I.
I hv already a trimmed MP3 to use to replace them.
Thanks in advance
