Rooted my phone, changing the system sounds. I can't find the key-tap sound. I replaced the TW_SIP file with my own in system/media/audio/ui and restarted the phone but it still plays the default sound, which probably means i'm replacing the wrong file. Anyone know where the right one is located?

You need to replace two files in that folder
1)TW_Touch.ogg
2)S_HW_Touch.ogg
Still the same. I'll explore with the settings and files some more.
Thats strange.I have those two files on my SDCard so that every time I flash a new ROM I can instantly change the sound from the awful water drip.I take it you rebooted after changing the files?
yes.
I tried using different files, same problem.

I've been searching on how to do this, but most of what I've found either doesn't work or it's just to remove the sound completely. I deleted the poweron file and placed in another file, renamed to poweron, but it still doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
Theres an app called Root Tools. I think that has some boot sound options.
nevermind ...
I have a file I want to use, I'm just not sure on how to get it to recognize. Any thoughts?
I was able to change boot animation right after root by using the same methods as I used on my DINC. But I want to replace the boot sound as well. I have tried renaiming to thunderfinal.mp3, android_audio.mp3, and (VZW_) something .mp3 to no avail. Any suggestions or success?

The boot sound is the FinalThunder.mp3
If you're rooted w/stock, the file is under /system/customize/resource
If you've flashed Adrynalyne's rom, it's under /system/media
you have to rename it finalthunder.mp3.old. It worked on mine
you guys are reading his question wrong. he doesnt want to get rid of thundersound he wants to add his own music or sound.
Right, so name it finalthunder, make sure it's an mp3, and adb push it to whichever location applies to him.

has that worked for you?
I did finalthunder.mp3 and named the renamed the old file to finalthunder.old before i even posted this and still i got nothing. Does it have a specific quality or codec used?
How to Turn the ThunderBolt's Boot Sound into a Ringtone/Alarm/Notification:
1) Grab the FinalThunder.mp3 file and place it on your /sdcard.
2) Install Ringdroid or a similar ringtone maker app from the Market.
3) Find "FinalThunder" in Ringdroid and open it.
4) Select only the parts of the sound you want to keep (if you want to keep the entire sound make sure Start = 0.0 seconds and End = 8.42 seconds) and save it as a Notification sound with whatever name you want it to have in the Settings menu.
This file now is modified for notification purposes and can be found in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications/<WhateverYouNamed>.mp3.
You can choose right then and there to make it your default notification sound or you can choose it later from the Settings->Sound->Notification Sound menu.
Enjoy!
Not what I was asking but good info though. I want to replace the boot sound with something custom.
I'm a newbie and need help. I have a rooted atrix running Gingerblur 3.5. I have used an app to create a custom ogg file to use as a notification. I then copied the file to system/media/audio/notifications. After rebooting the phone the file shows up in the list of notification choices and lets me select it. However the file is not being used by the system. The file directly beneath it is used even though the custom one is selected. What have I done wrong or failed to do?
Thanks.
handcentSMS has a ringtone picker that works great with other apps.
Edit:
After looking in root explorer.. Put your ogg in
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Not
/system/...

Thanks, but that was not the problem. Like I stated I am new at this, but I did figure out the problem. The permissions on the file were set to not allow the owner to do anything. After changing the owner permissions it is working now. I had to do this in the /system/media/audio/notifications because the sd card location did not allow permission changes.
Thanks again for your interest & reply though.

That is where I keep them and it works great for me, I never have the prob where the default changes. but! You have to put them in their correct folders..
/notifications
/ringtones
/alarms
I'm not exactly sure this is in the correct section but here goes... I have downloaded different boot animations, replaced the bootanimation.zip file using file expert, made sure the permissions were the same, but when I restart my phone, i keep getting the same old factory one. Is there an extra step that I'm missing?
I forgot to mention, that I am rooted. I thought it was the file explorer program, to I downloaded root explorer, and when I tried to change the name of the original bootanimation.zip, it says that it cant because the file system is read only. Could it have something to do with my problem?

mount the system as R/W before you do anything in /system. it's at the top of the screen in root explorer.
Thanks, that did it. But now instead of the one I downloaded, all I get is the word "android"
NVM I got it now thanks again
I noticed that after upgrading to lastest OTA that the bootanimation sound doesn't play, even the stock AT&T one. The sound files are present, but they just don't play.
Any suggestions?

is this for audio during boot? My phone never played audio during the boot process. I thought it was normal.

yes, but it will be played only if mentioned so in the desc.txt inside the bootanimation.zip at /system/media/
it is unnecessarily complicated now by changing the location to the new one while the config file resides in bootanimation.zip which originally remains at the same old place.
can someone please help me out here. i want to get rid of the god awful boot animation on the new ics leak. i have tried to copy over the one that's there now and it wont allow me to. i have also tried to delete it and that doesn't work either. any help would be greatly appreciated.
System/customize/resource
Drop it in there and make sure it is named TMOUS_bootanimation and you will be all set
Oh I think there is an audio file for the annoying ass TMO jingle. Kill that too.

No problem I HATE that damn boot noise so I looked into this yesterday.
What is the best way to get in there and change the files around? I downloaded Android Commander on to my computer and even though it lets me downloads files to my PC, it won't let me do anything to the android system files because it says I need root, even though I do in fact have root.

Download to SD. Then I use root explorer. PM me your email. I got some goodies for you.
ok i am able to change the boot animation and got rid of the t mobile jingle. now i want to add my own audio file during the boot animation. what do i need to name the file to work properly. i named it just like the t mobile jingle sound but that didnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated
The T-Jingle is just a ringtone, the bootup sound is named ruby_something, I don't remember what exactly off the top of my head, but it is a .wav file.
If I am going to put my own boot animation in here, can I just find a GIF of the appropriate dimensions and rename it .zip, or do I have to take each frame and convert it to a .png and put it in a zip file the same way that the default boot animation is?

no actually T-Jingle is the sound that was used on the original boot animation. as soon as i got rid of it that jingle did not sound when i loaded up the boot animation. i know the .wav file you speak of though. but if that was the boot animation sound why wouldn't it sound now with my new boot animation. there has to be some way to associate the new boot animation with what ever sound file when the phone boots up. as far as creating your own boot animation there are a lot of tutorials on this site. within the boot animation zip file there is a text file that basically tells the screen resolution and how as well as the frame rate and how the file should work. you should dl any boot animation and look at the desc.txt file. that will give you a little of an idea of how it all works.

Weird, on my phone T-Jingle.ogg is just a 3 second clip of the T-Mobile jingle ringtone sound, the one that plays on my phone at startup was ruby_something.wav, which is much longer and has the sort of rocket blast sound at the beginning and then a prolonged T-Mobile jingle.

I will open up the default boot animation and see what's doing. It is kind of confusing though because in the zip file is all of the .png files for the animation, but then there is another .zip file that has the exact same thing in it.

they both might be involved with the boot animation but as soon as i removed the t-jungle.ogg there was no sound at all when the boot animation. i will try messing with the other sound and see what happend

not quite sure about that. i just know that i was able to take a boot animation from another phone and edit the desc.txt file to the proper screen resolution to get it to work. like i had mentioned if you do a search on the site there are quite a few tutorials on how to create the boot animations. good luck

answered above in your quote
sorry for bringing up a fairly old thread, but this is exactly what i was looking for.
so i was able to change back to the stock boot animation as OP said, but I DO want the original sound to it, right now there is no sound. what is the file called and where is it located? i found the file in a t-mobile bloater zip from another thread, just no idea where it goes and what it should be called.

Im also looking for the answer, where does the sound file go?
Did any of you read anything I posted? The wav file I posted is the default boot sound.

Ithink you quickly answered without knowing what i and last poster asked, where in the boot animation zip does the sound file go, the link you gave me has the sound file seperate from the bootanimation zip.
I read every post in this thread and my question is not answered.

Did you even look at the link I posted in your thread? If you did, then you wouldn't be looking to put the sound file in the bootanimation, but instead put it in the required folder, that's why I linked to a tutorial, it is there for a reason.
