replace default system sounds (alarm, ringtone, notification)
Added by My Self about 9 years ago
Sometimes I have the problem, that my internal (encrypted) storage on my device (i9100) could not be mounted after a (re)boot.
In most cases a simple reboot do the trick.
Sometime ago I found a (revert) commit, which was kindly commited to Replicant after a short email:
http://git.replicant.us/gitweb/?p=replicant/system/core.git;a=commit;h=47e9710fe5c8f9e72ab0370334101f38bfc279ab
After this, I definitely realized less problems in this context, but some special times, it happens again...
I doesn't have figured out why this is the case, yet.
- The impact is, that my chosen alarm (clock) ringtone (phone) and notification (messaging) sounds are set back to default, because they're stored (in my case) on the internal storage (/storage/sdcard0).
- I've realized, that the default sounds are located under:
- /system/media/audio/alarms/Hassium.ogg
- /system/media/audio/notifications/Argon.ogg
- /system/media/audio/ringtones/Orion.ogg
- and because of this the default system sounds are not affected, if my internal storage decides not to mount again, I've made a little workaround for me
- but finally I noticed, that other people have the same problem: http://redmine.replicant.us/boards/9/topics/11319?r=11385#message-11385
and so I decided to release this workaround as a flashable .zip called: 'replace_default_sounds.zip' (attached).
Caution: If you flash this .zip unmodified, it will replace the 3 .ogg files (from above) with silent files, which could have a big impact, (for example a muted alarm clock)!
- So please modify the .zip file first. Meaning, get the sounds you want from wherever you want and make .ogg files from it, (for example by modify- and save them as .ogg files with the great open source tool: http://audacityteam.org/).
- After that replace the 3 .ogg files inside the flashable .zip, and please keep the path- and filenames unmodified.
- Then flash the .zip and you don't have to reset your sounds again, because your favorite sounds are the new system sounds.
I know this is not the best solution - especially if you often change your sounds, but I hope it helps anyway.
