Custom Lock/Unlock Sounds LG G2 - G2 General

Hey everyone, here is a quick guide for custom lock/unlock sounds on the LG G2.
Things you'll need:
Root access
Audacity software (for converting non OGG sound files, and it's free!)
Root Explorer App on your G2
1. Find the sound bites that you want for your lock/unlock sounds.
(If they are already OGGs, good for you! Skip to step 3)
2. Use Audacity to edit the sound files that you have. (Feel free to ask me any specific questions about using Audacity). After you are finished, go to File>Export and save your files as OGG.
3. Rename your two new OGG files as Unlock.ogg and Lock.ogg then make a copy of both files.
IMPORTANT: the G2 uses two sets of Lock/unlock sounds. The default lock and unlock ogg's are used when the device is locked with the power button or unlocked after entering a passkey/pattern. The effect-based sounds are used when turning the screen off WITHOUT locking the phone or unlocking the screen via slide. You will need to replace both sets for consistency.
Rename the copies depending on which slide effect you have active. For example, my Verizon G2 seems locked on the particle effect. So the files I have to replace are called particle_unlock.ogg and particle_lock.ogg. I was able to find the names by looking in the system/media/audio/ui folder in Root Explorer and playing all the unlock sounds till I found the ones that matched my effect.
4. Take your 4 OGG's and put them onto the G2's internal storage.
5. Open Root Explorer and navigate to system/media/audio/ui. Find the four files that you are going to replace (Unlock.ogg, Lock.ogg, effect_unlock.ogg, effect_lock.ogg) and make back-ups of them. I made a new folder in sdcard/ and copied them there.
6. Find and copy the four new OGG's to system/media/audio/ui and replace the old ones.
7. Almost there, now the permissions of the new OGG's need to be changed to rw-r--r--. Otherwise the phone won't open the them. For those who don't know how, long press the file and choose Permissions. Next make the check boxes look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. Now restart your phone and enjoy your new sounds.:highfive:

A Note on Volume
Some of the sound clips that people use can end up being too loud or too soft. The lock/unlock sounds's volume cannot be tweaked by changing system volume settings. Instead you have to change the volume of the OGG's themselves.
If you are using Audacity, you can easily tweak the volume with the slider shown by the red arrow.
I checked the volume in decibels of the stock lock/unlock sounds and they average around -10 dB. You can check the output volume of your sound at the meter shown by the blue arrow.

[Q] Assistance with nook tablet physical ''n'' button

I used the ota blocking root. The one with the video and all is well. I love my rooted Nikki and the smart minds of this community, so thanks to all. Moving on, I used the option in the computer. .bat file that gave the option of pressing the physical ''n" button key to back out to home. I don't like it because it doesn't allow me to pull up the option menus in some apps, which is important since the taskbar doesn't always show, like in emulators and I also miss the menu it pops up at home screen with the search etc.
So, i'm wondering if there is a way to return the "n" button to default without rerooting? Thanks to all who help.
Also, I can't open my keyboard setting to turn off the auto- correct feature. It's annoying. It force closes every time, even if I reboot.
This is the stock SystemUI, rename it to SystemUI.apk. Took it from the acclaim_update.zip
StockSystemUI.apk

Would I just rename and drop it in the root folder from my pc?

root folder? you mean to reroot? there is no need to reroot just rename the file copy it to your sdcard and then by suing ES file explorer or Root explorer Cut/move it to /system and paste it, then long press SystemUI.apk now if you used Root Explorer (not free) select permissions from the list and change it to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once done long press it again but now pick change owner from the list (scroll down is at the end of the list) and change:
Owner: 0 - root
Group: 0 - root
If you used ES file explorer (free) then long press SystemUI.apk and select properties from the list, change permissions same as in the pic i posted above.
Once done that cut/move it to /system/app folder
REBOOT to finish

I will give it a try when I get some time to myself, thanks.

Low microphone volume during calls (FIX)(ROOT NEEDED)

I have been told that my Xperia Z2's microphone is very unsensitive and that my voice is low during calls. I tried tweaking settings like Microphone Noise Suppression and Equalizer, but with no results.
So I tweaked the mixer_paths.xml file!
Here's what you need:
1- Root
2- Root file explorer (I use CM file manager)
3- File attached below
View attachment mixer_paths.zip
Steps:
1- Enable Root explorer
2- Go to /system/etc
3- Find mixer_paths.xml
4- Rename as mixer_paths.xml.bak (This is so if something goes wrong you can restore the file)
5- Unzip the file you downloaded
6- Place it in /system/etc (replace the original mixer_paths file)
7- Set permissions same as screenshot below
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8- Reboot twice, and you're done!
Good luck.
Edit:
In fact, it did not work on Tesla/lp 5.1.1
Got random nasty sounds.
Had that before, though, but not with that particular rom.
help

[MOD] Media/Volume NavBar for TouchWiz In Car Installs

With the help of 7786 and lots of time spent to fix the code on the IronRom's NavBar, I have finally finished the Media/Volume Navbar for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 for TouchWiz.
This mod not only enables the NavBar, but it is modified to change Volume for those installs where a Volume Knob is not an option like mine. Also has the Previous, Play/Pause and Next Playback functions. The Google Logo opens the Google Search when held for a second. I for one really don't care to have a Search Engine taking up valuable space on my Screen (despite the ScreenShots [emoji14])
On Certain Launchers, for example Apex Launcher, The Navbar is Transparent. I don't know what other Launchers are like this But it looks great.

How to Install Mod:
1. Download Zip 2. Enable Soft Keys 3. Restart Into Recovery 4. Install Zip 5. Clear Dalvik/Cache 6. Enjoy
How to Enable Soft Keys:
Section 1: Pre-requisites
You need to have root access on your device.
Install Root Explorer or ES File Explorer or any file manager with which you can access the system partition. Below steps are given for Root Explorer.
Make sure your device is at least 70% charged to avoid complications during the process.
Section 2: Procedure
Open your preferred file manager and mount the system partition as read-write in stead of read only. Grant superuser access when it prompts.
Go to the system folder present in the root of file system. i.e the path- /system
root explorer
Now open the file “build.prop” in any Text Editor. For Root Explorer users, long click on “build.prop” file and tap on “Open with Text Editor”. (Before editing this file, for a safety, copy this file to the external memory card and save as a backup.)
build.prop
Now add the following line to this file at the end:
Code:
[CENTER]qemu.hw.mainkeys=0[/CENTER]
Save and Exit.
Now reboot your device.
Voila! You now have soft keys on your device!
If soft keys are still not enabled, please check if you have typed in the exact line as above. There are some apps which do this for you with a single click. But these apps may cause boot loops. Happy Androiding!

[GUIDE] Export Your Kernel Adiutor Settings to init.d Script

Hi, there.
The reason I make this thread is just want to share some tips to export your Kernel Adiutor profile settings to make it as a script running via init.d on your device and also as a backup for reasons. Since I'm having some trouble with Kernel Adiutor such as fail to apply on boot on restart, reseting all of my tweaks for no reason after restart, switching from different ROMs, etc. that really grind my gears.
NOTE : I prefer doing this work on PC and using Notepad++ or other text editor since its more easier.
1. Make sure your device is already have working init.d
2. Open your Kernel Adiutor, make some tweaks and save it as a profile in Hamburger Menu - Profile
3. Go to /data/data/com.grarak.kerneladiutor/files/ and copy profiles.json to somewhere else
4. Open profiles.json in Text Editor and copy all of its contents to clipboard
5. Go to https://www.browserling.com/tools/json-to-text to convert .json to txt, just paste it on the text box provided and click convert!.
6. Copy the text inside the text box and create a new files, paste onto it.
7. From this point we will edit the lines and remove unused lines so pay attention to avoid deleting the useful one
8. As you can see there are lines begins with "command" and "path", delete all the lines that start with the "path".
9. After you done with that, next is ONLY delete the words "command" from all lines. you will see fewer lines of codes after all this step. Then don't forget to save it as file without extension ex. : 69mykernelsettings
10. If you want to make sure you did copy the correct code, just do quick cross-check from Kernel Adiutor - Profile and see Information and compare it to the profile you use with the file we just made.
11. Last step copy your file to /etc/init.d/ , dont forget to give it permissions rwxr-xr-x (0755) or it wont executed on boot.
Here are some screenshot example from my profile :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Maybe this method is so convensional and too much hassle but it works for me and if you have a better method feel free to share in this thread and give some feedback
Very helpful bro, thanks
