[Q] Notification sounds interrupt videos in different ways on different ROMs - why? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've found differences in the behaviour of notifications on different ROMs, notably in the stock Jellybean ROM for my i9100 a notification will:
1. Mute all other sounds
2. Play the notification sound
3. Unmute other sounds
Whereas when I have AOKP installed the sounds both play at once, as in no muting occurs and the sound is overlayed.
My question is: what decides this behaviour? And can I tune it per-ROM? I'm a technical user so I'm comfortable hacking around a bit to get my desired behaviour, I just don't know where to look!

U better ask the dev of the AOKP ROM.

ROM Ideas

Hello Fascinate Community,
I'm new to the development scene and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about creating or modifying/altering ROMs. Specifically, I'm interested in modifying the Fascinate TouchWiz stock. Maybe I'm the only person in the world, but I kind of like the TW interface and don't care to replace it with a 3rd party launcher (I did use and like LauncherPro Plus on the Droid 1/2, just enjoying something different).
At any rate, I had some ideas that I thought would be really cool to integrate with the existing TouchWiz interface and I thought that I would share them in the event someone figures out how to incorporate them.
I also thought this might be a good way to consolidate ideas the community at large might have for upcoming ROMs, but lack the know-how to implement:
1) Similar to the control toggles in the notification bar, implement forward/back and play/pause controls for the music player
2) Rescript the default Car Home app to use Google Navigation / Google Voice Search
3) Add music controls to the bottom of the default Car Home app
4) Replace all the Bingification with Google (obviously)
5) have the soft keys stay on while screen is on
hope to see CM6 on here loved it on my eris

I know there are people working on this already, I really hope it makes it into the first series of ROMs.
7) Add a setting that allows you to enable/disable the "signal lost/found" audio alert.
8) (No-brainer - not even sure it warrants mentioning) Use a different file system (ext4?) to eliminate need for lag-fix.

That would be excellent! Only thing I am truly missing from my BB is the notification light!
so far i think i might have the best ROM idea of them all, One that doesnt have the memory hog TouchWiz!!! yeah!!! sorry guys have to, cant wait to start seeing stuff flowing out of this section!
Rom Idea:
2.2 Froyo
and the ability to use the touchwiz widgets. I really like them over HTC Sense.
Thats the only reason I wont use launcherPro....Official widgets from the manufacturer look so much better than aftermarket ones!!!

[Q] How to add these components to a ROM?

I've searched and asked this question several times but found no answer that works.
I love 2 particular ROM components
1 - Flashlight from lockscreen.
Holding the home button from a lockscreen will toggle the flashlight, holding it again will turn it off
2 - Relaxing alarm sounds
This includes the smart alarm and the Dawn Chorus, Sea Breeze, Springtime Memories alarm sounds.
How do I add these to a ROM?
I've found OMEGA Rom includes both of these elements but it isnt the fastest ROM around and when I edit voltage settings it becomes quite unstable.
I really liked the FoxHound series roms which had the flashlight ability and was quite fast and stable
Resurrection Remix is quite nice too but has neither of these features which is why I'd like to know how to do this so I can add it myself.
Can someone give me some info on these?
I'm assuming the smart alarm thing is just saving some .ogg files to use and transfer into the correct place to be able to implement them but the flashlight I'm not quite sure - someone said something about flashing a zip file in CWM but that didnt work for me at all..
Seriously? is there no way to do either of these things??
Surely somebody would know how to do this?

Maybe u should try JKay mod....
It has a lot of extra options like the flashlight u mentioned. And much much more!
About the alarm sounds...
Never search for that but it must be very easy to do
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
For the first question i have also no idea, i know that miui also has that feature
But the second i quite easy. open any_rom.zip.
Go to system>media>audio>alarms> here you can drop your alarm sounds.
you can also go to /system/media/audio on your phone and put any alarms, ringtones or notifications there.

Recommendation for a good ROM

For a long time I was using the Litening ROM v2.2 which was fine apart from the occasional reboots. Anyway, I recently upgraded to the latest stable version which is v3.6 and have immediately noticed that all the video playback is glitchy. There's also no way to customise the settings toggle button in the notification bar.
Can anyone recommend a Samsung based ROM on ICS that is stable, has no problems with video codecs/playback and allows customisation of the toggle buttons?
TIA
Tweaky Rom, i never tried it but it looks pretty promising. It's Samsung based.
Oh and wrong section, these types of threads aren't allowed. You're supposed to try out roms for yourself.This thread will be closed soon. Cheers.

Yeh, wrong place to post but your new so I am sure they will forgive ya. The thing is, it is not neccesarily the rom you choose, it is how you install it and how comfortable you feel using it. Try RR, that is Ressurection Remix, I have tried nearly 23 different roms and still keep coming back to this. Remember, read, study, install, configure to your liking. Eventually through trial and error you will learn what makes a rom 'good' and what makes a rom 'bad', the enjoyment is in the tasting of different flavours. Enjoy.
This isn't development related and nobody can answer this question for you.
The only way is to flash and try the ROMs for yourself.

[Q] is there any way to adjust AOSP sounds

I love how smooth the AOSP system works. I do not like how loud volume is. Is there any way to adjust that?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Well, you could install a custom kernel, then use STweaks to adjust the volumes that you want. I am however curious as to which AOSP rom you are using..in my experience most if not all AOSP roms have yielded really low volumes for me. =P

I think they might have meant that...
If it was a issue with it being too loud, they would be able to easily adjust the volume with the sliders. I'm pretty sure they meant loud in a way similar to volume level.

[Q] SlimSaber - i9100, 4.4.2, how to change some sounds

Hi guys,
I just installed this ROM:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2350201
and I have some questions:
- how can I change the sound that I hear when I click for example on some app or when I entry setting??
- the same question about sound that I hear when I lock my phone.
Both are really annoying and I can not find option that changes it;/
Thanks for your help
There isn't a built in option for that. If you want to do that, you're going to have to find the sound file which is responsible for both of those respective sounds, and replace them with an identical named version of what you want the new sound to be. Personally I just turn all the sounds off so I can't say I know what they sound like
