Extract sound from apk - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm looking for a particular notification sound inside NAVER LINE.
I've tried to search the apk:
- Directly by opening it as an zip file, using 7zip.
- By "decoding" the apk with apktool (using the "decode" comand) and searching the output folder.
Well I don't really know what type of file it is. I tried .ogg, .wav and .mp3 formats .. I found some of the tones, maybe half of them but not the one I'm looking for.
The sound is called "Dimple", you can ear it by browsing the Tones list from Settings/Notifications->Tone ...
May someone help me :highfive:
Thank you !

Converting mp3 files to ringtone wav files

HI
Wonder if anyone is kind enough to help.
I have downloaded some ringtones as mp3 files but can't use them in the xda since it only recognises wav files. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

Doing a monologue but I thot people might benefit:
did a goggle search and found tons of software that could do the trick.
how did u do it. please share
Hi
You can use winamp and select the diskwriter for playback. This will write a wav file when you play the file.
You can also use nice freeware audio tools. I downloaded audacity from download.com or try www.dbpoweramp.com for another converter tool.

using .wav files for ringtone?

Hi, I've searched for info on how to use .wav files for ringtones and have found only midi/polphonic files etc, of which I'm not to sure of how to do. I've tried moving some .wav files into the rings folder but all I get is a bip when I try it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong and how to resolve this would be much appreciated. Thanks
they need to be PCM wav files
Thanks Rudegar. PCM is what? Is there a program that will convert standard .wav files to PCM .wav files. I'll do a search on the forum for info also.
Peace.
Pulse code modulation, shortly PCM is the standard wav file :wink: . You might have tried a wav file with some kind of compression, and wm2002 cant handle that. In wm2003, you can use windows media also. Thats good if you want to have music as ringtones. Just put the .wma into the ringtones folder.

[A]How to hide Ringtones/Notifications from Music Player, Remain visible to system

I have scanned various threads regarding this topic and we all know how even if you place your ringtones/notifications in a different folder than your music files they still show up in Music Player
We also know about the 2 workarounds: Use a different music player that lets you pick which directories your music is stored (best solution so far) or put an empty file named .nomedia where your ringtones are. That is not a good choice since it hides the ringtones from media scanner and therefore will not be selectable as a ringtone or notification unless you use a third party app.
Workaround #3: (my preference)
I followed the instructions from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7375013
1) - On your sdcard, create a folder called "media", then create another folder in that called "audio".
2) - Inside the "audio" folder, create 3 seperate folders called "Alarms", "Notifications" and "Ringtones".
3) Convert your ringtones and notifications from MP3 to WAV. Yes they will be slightly larger, I converted PLAINRING.MP3 > WAV and it went from 74kb to 613kb. Not a big deal.
4) Copy the WAV files to the correct directories you just created and you've got tones! They will be hidden from Music Player but they will show up with all your other ringtones and notifications.
No need for root or any third party apps...unless you want to convert MP3 to WAV on your phone instead of a PC

Create a blank text file on your pc and name it .nomedia (don't let it save the .txt extension) and place it in the directory you want to hide media from the player.

Thank you very much!!! Best solution so far!
I tried the "ringtones" folder, tried the .nomedia file, and neither of those solutions really worked well.
Your idea did the trick perfectly!
Stock music players haven't been updated yet? So, we can choose just the directories we want.

I am not sure, they might have updated by now - you resurrected a 3+ month old thread. Since you did not add to the solutions and your only question is something not directly related to fixing the issue and could have been easily checked out on your own, I am not sure for your reason for resurrecting this thread. Now that it has been brought back how about you check out the stock app and report back?
I just make a playlist that does not include the ringtones.

[Q] answering machine place of recorded greeting

Hello, i hope i have an easy to answer question.
I am searching around now for quite some time to find where the recorded greeting audio file is saved from the integrated answering machine of the Z2.
I am rooted so it is no problem when it is saved somewhere in the normally inaccessible area. I just wan't to replace the recoded audio with an audio file that is not recorded over the phones microphone.
Has anyone already found that place?
Thanks in advance
I havent looked but if i was you id look for the app data for the phone app, settings, framework
Id even recoment looking through apks (open as zip)

Hello,
thanks for the reply. I just found the right place.
The files are saved under "/data/data/com.android.phone/files/am/greeting/"
The files are saved as Adaptive Multi-Rate (*.amr)
i did it the following way:
1) recorded an audio with approximately the same duration as my audio file i want to use.
2) downloaded the audio file to my pc
3) opened the audio file i want to use on my phone in audacity and made it the exact same length as my recorded audio.
4) saved my modded audio file as amr and saved it on the phone. (placed in the same directory and using the same name as the previously recorded audio)
I am not sure if the stuff with the same length is really needed, but the first time i tried it showed 0 seconds on the phone and didn't looked like it works. (but it might just be that i had the sound muted or something. )

Good to know,
Ill be putting this info in my info thread (you can find at the top of QnA)
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Replying here because this was one of the results that came up when I was looking for the same thing. In newer firmwares (6.0.1) the location has changed:
The greetings are now in /data/data/com.android.server.telecom/files/am/greeting.
Also when I created my own WAV file and converted it to AMR, even though it might sound okay on your xperia or on your PC, it will distort like crazy on the receiver's handset unless you reduce the maximum amplitude (volume) of the sound file to -12dB.
You could find it like this:
Code:
system/xbin/find / 2>/dev/null|grep -ie \.amr$ |sort -r|xargs ls -laFh
On my [email protected] path is:
Code:
/data/user_de/0/com.android.server.telecom/files/am/greeting/
/sbin/.magisk/mirror/data/user_de/0/com.android.server.telecom/files/am/greeting/

sorry but im on a low speed internet connection right now (128kbps) funny...
so do this... extract the files in a folder (using winrar,7zip or... ect)
search for .mp3 files
if nothing found it means the game made into new unity software mode, you cannot extract it, try using AUX cable, connect your mobile to your pc

and if you have problom sound not detecting by the app take a look at your pc sound options and setting, set audio input in : Aux or maybe its name is diffrent in your pc, try all of audio inputs (mic,sterio input and...) one of them is aux
