[Q] Where are notification sounds stored - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you get access to the notification tones and view the file seperatley? im wanting to take a notification sound from my s3 and put it on another android device.

Hi,
They are in system/media/audio/notifications
Need root access, or just download a stock ROM (or any ROM with, at least, no sound modification) and extract the souds you want.

It's in system/media/audio

deleting factory apps

First of all, I am new to everything about smartphones. So if this is in the wrong forum, please move for me and I apologize. I just successfully rooted my LG Optimus x2 and I have deleted all the factory apps I wanted. I really haven't noticed a faster phone. Why? Should I?
But, I can't find any of the .odex files I am suppose to delete. Where are they? I have deleted all the .apk files I wanted to delete and the corresponding files in the data/data folder but I can't find any .odex.
Also, does anyone know how I can delete the camcorder shutter sound? Thats the original reason why I wanted to root my phone. And to make it faster with a better battery life. I want the thing barebones.
Thank you
How are you removing them? Titanium backup is the easiest ws. Get the pro version and you can simply freeze them so they are out of the way and if you accidentally freeze something that makes your phone wonky. You just thaw it and it's all good again. If you delete the wrong file you can fubar you're phone. Be careful.

One way to silence you're shutter sound would be to make a recording of silence locate the sound file associated with your shutter. Make sure you're silent recording is of the same file extension, I'm guessing it would be ogg you can't just change the extension you will need to convert it if its not the same. Rename it to you shutter sound file and replace it with your silent sound file. You will need a file explorer. In the market.

I am using Titanium backup. But if you freeze apps, they are still on your phones memory, so that is why I delete them. I am done deleting now. I deleted the junk and things I don't use. So far everything is working great. Thank you for your concern. I understand what I am deleting, so I think!, and I am done now.
But with this freeze, maybe I can freeze the file with the camcorder shutter sound. Does any one know where it is?

Restart your phone and press volume down and home screen button then select reset factory so all ur factory apps restored.

No idea where it's located, you could use a file explorer to search for specific file types like
. Ogg you might find it That way. Search the Internet for an audio converter. Lots of free and open source ones.

ICS Screen Press Sound

Where would I be able to find the screen press sound for ICS? I want to replace the TW one sound with this one. Any help would be appreciated.

This is similar. Change permissions appropriately and reboot after you drop it in.
Thanks. That was the right sound for the ICS tick. I had to actually replace the file called TW_Touch.ogg on the GB ROM with the effecttick.ogg. I did rename it, etc. Turns out that TW will use it but it blasts it so loud that it is almost as bad as the TW sound was. I had to edit the effecttick.ogg file in Audacity by lowering the gain to an acceptable level for me. Then redid the process. Worked like a champ and now I have the sound I was looking for.
I've attached the file I made in case anyone wants to do it to.

How do I switch off sounds when booting, taking a photo or charging?

You need to root your phone. After that, use a root file explorer to go to /system/media/Audio/ui and delete/rename all sounds that you don't want to hear any more.

Thanks, but the apps would still attempt to play the sounds, only they wouldn't find it.
Isn't there another way to make the apps/system not try to play them at all?

No, unless you mute all sounds. There are no drawbacks from renaming the files. What's the problem?

Emergency Alerts Sound File Location

I'm have a RAZR MAXX on .211 rooted and I'd like to change the notification/ringtone sound for the Emergency Alerts app but I can't find the sound file. Does anyone know the directory/folder it can be found in?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Hi, On my rooted ICS XT910, the following folder has a load of sub folder with sound files:
/system/media/audio/
I hope this is what you're looking for.
Type in any root explorer
.ogg
It will return all media system sounds.
Cheers

Has anyone ever found the file name?
Emergency Alert File
I found it on my HTC One as the following:
/system/media/mms/atis_tia_cmas_alert.mp3
I have replaced the file with a different sound, and I guess I'll have to wait for the next alert to see if it worked.
