I hated the lock, and unlock sounds, so i dug into it a bit. This is what i did. You have to be rooted. With Root Explorer i navigated to System/media/audio/ui. This is where all the ui sounds are located of course. U will see all the ui lock, and unlock sounds. I first tried renaming crystal lock unlock sounds(the one I use) with an x at the end of the name, basically getting rid of it as far as the ui is concerned. This did not work cause if it doesnt find the sound its looking for, there is a default sound it falls back on in the apk. So u will see a sound in this folder named silent ring. I copied this sound within the same folder. Root explorer names this copy, with copy at the end. Then i took the original sound file for the unlock style i use, and did a rename with x at the end, that way i still have the original safe. Then i renamed silent_ring-copy, to crystal_unlock and crystal_lock. Now i have no goofy sounds when i lock, and unlock my G2. Works great...

Funny Also, the lock/unlock sound is different for each Screen Wipe Effect for the lockscreen. But, I am with you, silent is better.
I guess to save face, this could be used for custom lock/unlock sounds! LOL!!!!!!

Any app that lets me set my own unlock/lock sounds?
Are these files in a format that I can use for notifications? I want to use the Crystal unlock sound for text notifications.

Okay, so you may know what this is already - Linda sounds for your phone... read the whole post please.
For this version I rebuilt most sounds from scratch, and solved the mystery of the boot sound. All sounds properly maximized with a touch of reverb added, and I put some effort into figuring out some proper levels for the sounds, so it does not get irritating.
If the bootanimation for your phone has been changed, I cannot guarantee the proper working of the startup sound. Other than that it should work no matter what you have theme wise, as only sounds are being changed. Flash it after your theme is flashed and you will overwrite whatever sounds are there.
Startup - "Welcome to Android 2.2.1, the system is now loading"
Shutdown - The system is shutting down, goodbye"
Battery Low - " Battery level critical, please connect charger"
USB connection - "USB connected, battery charging"
Did not add the lock sounds because they annoy me, and the dialer does not call for individual sounds for each key. If I get time, a Lindaphone and Lindacam app may be created in the future, but I need to learn how to decompile and recompile those files properly to get it done.
Also custom notifications for messaging, weather, email, voicemail, calendar, XDA, and instant messaging. A ringtone is also included. As a bonus, I included my personal notification, which is a trimmed up version of the air guitar sound from Bill and Ted. Just makes me smile everytime I hear it... listed as Air Guitar in your notifications.
How do you install this? Put it on your sd card and flash it in recovery. Hate it? Flash the undo and the original Bi-Winning sounds will be restored. The ringtones and notifications will stay, I am not writing a script to delete files from anyones phone. I know enough to be dangerous, but to me that is playing with fire. The notifications and ringtone take up 340k in your system. If you absolutely NEED that space back, delete the individual files in system/media/audio/notifications and /ringtone with root explorer.
Not responsible if you break your phone, blah blah. You know this. I built this for Bi-Winning, but it should work for anything ZSJPJ or ZSJPK based. The boot sound absolutely will not work on anything that is not ZSJPJ or ZSJPK. Anything else is at your own risk, but the worst thing that will probably happen is the sounds will not work as expected.
Have Fun!
I love your sounds, but I'm running bionix. I can just extract the zip and then copy and paste the sounds in the appropriate audio folder with root explorer correct?
Not interested in the boot and shutdown, just tones.
Btw, thanks for making these!

Yeah, just copy and paste with your explorer and you are good. The tones though are largely the same. The major rebuild is on the ui sounds, the rebuilding of the notifications is on my to do list for an updated version

this might have been answered already but whats the best way to gain access to system files? I want to try to get more in depth with my modding i saw root explorer is that the only way or is there a program for windows to get on to the phones hidden files. wanting to change boot animation, sounds lock unlock, lock screen pic, ect ect. Is there a way to change sounds for different notifications like txt,email,gmail, ect ect instead of having one sound for all of them? thanks

Just search for a guide on getting started with theming. There's several on the forums already.
It there s clear lock screen slider of there for the X2. I love that look and miss it from my X.
If not how would one go about making it clear? Don't mind learning how to do so my self.
Never owned an X.. I need a screenshot to either A) tell you if its possible and/or B) tellyou how to make one.
There are hundreds of options including clear sliders for widgetlocker.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I am envisioning a "floating button" that will move across the screen with no background thats visible.
Well I don't have a X anymore to take a screenshot. So ill try to explain it the best way possible.
After pressing the lock button to wake your device at the bottom are the sliders to unlock and turn sounds off. When I say clear lockscreen sliders Im talking about those being there and functional but being completely invisible. It gives the phone a much nicer and cleaner look without loosing those function. Once you get used to it its very nice. I have a X2 now but had it on my X and old Droid. People made it as an zip that you could flash or incorperated it in there rom or theme.
Its quite nice. Hope that helps.
Those are 9png files. If you dont know anything about decompiling, recompiling, etc.. then you don't care so this will make your process easy. Normally, you wouldnt break a 9png files guides but since you wont be able to tell in this case, it wont really matter. Use 7zip or something and go into your ROMS system/framework folder.. find framework-res.apk. double click on it and go into the res/drawable-hdpi folder. Drag out all the jog-tab-xxx.9.png file to your desktop or into a folder. Don't worry, draggin them out will not remove them from the framework. Now, find the ones you want and use Gimp or paint.net to make the images fully transparent. (color to alpha). Use 7zip to stick them back into the same folder you took them out of. DO NOT.. unzip your ROM. install the ROM again without wiping data. good to go.
My motto has always been.. if you cant remove it, make it invisible!
Is it possible to use root explorer and do this using phone? Or must it be done via PC?
i think you are going to want to do that one on the pc.
there are 3 problems with ZPlayer that i hope theres a fix for:
1) albums dont appear fast enough when scrolling. is there a way to make albums appear as quickly as you scroll?
2) the zplayer lockscreen is a pain. i got to swipe a few times to unlock the phone while zplayer is playing. is there a way to just swipe once to unlock it?
3) the sliders to fast foward or rewind arent very responsive. is there a way to "grab" the sliders better to make it move smoother?
i hope there a way to edit the file of zplayer to correct all these errors.

Oh, you are the lucky one. I cannot even unlock it by swiping n-times. The lockscreen is a cool one, bit it is really annoying. What did the devs answered?
I'm running Chubbz-Gruesome's Sense 4.1, It's a lovely ROM and the boot animation is cool because it was clearly build from scratch, But there are much better one's that I'd love to be running on my daily driver.
I've done the file explorer and it failed and made my phone spaz out and I had to reflash the rom, that sucked...
I really want to change it. It's the only thing bothering me with the rom.
Just checked a suggested threah, should I have to rename it to the same thing after I put it in?
Solved.
ALRIGHT! Figured it out, It has to be named the same thing as the original on your rom.
Good to know that you resolved it.
Have you tried the 3D Boot Animation? It's pretty cool.

I've ran it from Paranoid android and another one, I think MIUI and it is awesome, Once I found out how to do it i SWEAR I've changed it to 15 different one's I've upzipped my entire "ROM list" which is a real folder on my C drive haha. I have around 30 roms I keep them all. For things like this.
I have a few more questions, I'm trying to find a downanimation
I wanna take an bootanimation and rename is to down and see if it'll work... Think it will?? Does anyone have any education in this area? Or maybe editing a bootanimation to make it shorter and turning it into a downanimation, I wanna take the one from "Jelly-Belly" it's the nexus thing, which is awesome, and use it as my down. Hope it'll work.
NEXT QUESTION, The rom I'm running had a .mp3 in the folder with the bootanimation, It was some transformery sound, I deleted it haha, BUT! Can I find a sound snippet of something I want, Name it the same thing, and then reboot and enjoy my awesome booy animation along with my awesome sound!!! Please tell me I can!!!

Success With the sound, Coolest phone boot EVER!! haha, Now if I only had a downanimation, Mine is just a black screen for about 5 seconds.
Can I go even further to put sound on my downanimation once I get there? I wouldn't know what to name it is the only problem there if it is doable.

Here is an idea, instead of renaming the files every time, I just put all the files where I want them.
There should be a file called default.xml in the /system/customize/CID/ directory. Open this with a text editor and you can find the sections for boot animation and shutdown animation. Here you can just insert the names and locations of the files you want to launch for bootup or shutdown.
Hope this helps.

So you're talking about this portion of the xml right?
<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" audio="/data/local/htc_boot.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/hTC_downanimation.zip" image="" fps="10" />
So theoreticly I can add audio="/data/local/htc_boot_2.mp3"/> between downanimation.zip" and image ""fps="10"/>
And if can I change the downanimations name to simply "downanimation.zip" and then put a custom there named simply "downanimation.zip" would that work? or does it need to be hTC_downanimation?
