I have a very simple question: what am I doing wrong when it comes to changing my lock and unlock sounds to something custom? I have tried on stock, CM11, and now my current rom is Revolution HD 11.2, but with all I have the same issue. When I replace the sound files in /system/media/audio/ui and reboot, it reverts to the originals.
I'm at wits end, I spent twelve hours on this yesterday and I just don't understand o.o
You need to change permissions (allow read and write) on the files you are altering, with whatever file/root explorer you are using.
The files are now copied properly, however there is only silence when I lock or unlock. Lock sounds are enabled, I'm clueless yet again.
Can anyone help me figure this out?

Is there anyway to change the call lock screen from what I have below?
Certain ROMs will change the call screen. Do you have root on your phone?
Yep (10chars).
would there be any way to change the way you answer the phone without root? my phone keeps answering itself in my pocket

You have to find the apk files to replace the HTClockscreen.apk (do not remove it until you have a replacement lockscreen.apk file. technically you could probably pull one off from another ROM that you like and copy it onto your /system/app location and that might work... but be careful and do a nandbackup before you start experimenting.

While it is true that you can replace your lockscreen, the call lockscreen is in the phone.apk, and you either choose between the HTC screen (on Sense roms) or the Android lockscreen (on CM and AOSP roms).
One solution that I have adapted is to put the phone "top-down" in my pocket (the usb plug points up) that way, even if it does rub during extraction, it's going opposite direction to answer the call.
what exactly are you trying to change? i have mine setup like Senseable's... the screen shot you posted is the sense call-lock screen.
the actual files are located in the com.htc.resources.apk (in the \res\drawable-mdpi folder)
you can change the files in the apk... and push it back over your current file.
the lock arc screen files are named:
lockscreen_arc.png
lockscreen_arcglass_bottom.png
lockscreen_arcglass_top.9.png
i'm pretty sure you can find a flashable version around here somewhere too.
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.
hey, i got a virgin mobile s2 yesterday and i rooted and unlocked with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13715727
and galaxy s unlock on the market.
im assuming it went well since i have the yellow triangle and my rogers sim now works.
i got root explorer and followed instructions on making "local.prop" in data with "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" but it hasnt been working.
is there any known problems with my type of combination
Virgin
XWKDD_insecure.tar
or any other help at all?
Im totally new to this and i dont want to mess anything up by using another rom or something because i need it before a flight tomorrow morning.
You could delete the following using root explorer:
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click_short.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/Shutter_01.ogg
That way you delete the audio file the camera uses. If you don't want to do it as a permanent solution, you could backup the files if you want to restore them.
hmm i already tried to rename those files in root explorer but i got a no permission error. but your post brought me back to it and i successfully renamed them after turning on "mount r/w".
Thanks! lol
Although it would have been cool to keep the sounds and only make it silent when it was in silent mode :/
Since about 1 month I did something to disable boot animation sound (first using ARHD ROMs, then the one I made), and it survived various flashes (without every doing a full wipe). But last week I did a full wipe and boot sound is back.
During that time, I made something to disable the boot sound without needing to delete the boot sound files from /system/media/audio/ui, because I flashed many roms that wipe and rewrite the system partition (and rewrite the boot sound files) and boot sound was always disabled, so what comes to my mind is an option in some menu that I can't find anymore.
Does anybody know if there is a way to disable boot sound without deleting the media files?
You can go into root explorer go to the folder and simply rename the file from bootup.ogg (or whatever the file is) to bootup.ogg.bak (or whatever you prefer.
I add the .bak to it so i know I changed it and the original file name never changed. So if I ever want to enable it again, simply remove the .bak and is all good again.
Hope that made sense

I know about this rename/delete thing, but I am really curious to re-find out how did i do it last time without deleting the files
Did you try "silent boot" "no startup sound" "quiet restart" in market?

a little off topic
When I deleted the boot sound, I lost the multi window feature for wanamlite 5.3. Does anybody know why?
Now that i have gotten root, how can i change the lock and unlock sounds to custom ones I have created? I already tried copy and pasting with root explorer but a no go...any ideas please?
