[Q] Sound volume button - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
i got my nexus 6 today. I instantly rooted the device for titanium backup and stuff. Now i have one problem left. Is there a way to disable the sound when pressing the volume up or down button? On my other phone i simply had to rename/delete some sound files in "system/media/audio/ui". But there are no soundfiles like that. Some ROMs have an option to disable those sounds, but i didn't find something like this either. Is there any workaround for this?

No ideas how to fix this?

ROMs have this option. I believe Rastapop and some others have it. Its been a while wince I used Rastapop I'm running LS currently and I don't see the option.

With root access i think there has to be a way to locate these sound files and simply rename them or replace them with "empty" sound files. But even total commander couldn't find them while searching the whole system. I don't know the exact name so i searched for "*.ogg". There were files like camera focus or low battery.

What he said. I'm using euphoria and it has the feature. It's under settings to sound and notifications to other sounds.

Camera Launch Noise

Anyone know how to turn off the camera launch sound ?
Had a quick look around and can't find any way to do it.
Not talking about the shutter sound, it's the noise that it makes when you press the dedicated camera key to launch the camera app.
So that would be no then?

Maybe you can't do it in the Sony stock ROM, if you've rooted your Z1 though you can probably locate the audio file and delete it, or modify the apk file that calls the audio file and delete the line that actually plays the audio file.

Probably would work but find it incredible that such an intrusive noise like this can't be switch off. Currently the only way to stop it is to turn the volume down on the phone.

I just received my device and I'll have a look for you. I can't provide an easy way to disable the sound though since I'm not that good with smali or whatever. But I can probably locate the audio file and tell you about it. Other than that, wait for the custom roms.
Perhaps it can be replaced by a quieter shorter sound, the current noise is the electronic equivalent of Dom Joly shouting 'I'M USING MY CAMERA'.

Okay I found the audio file for you, didn't do it last night because of other things.
It's located here: /system/app/SemcCameraUI.apk/res/raw/start_up_notifier.wav
I assume you can delete it and you shouldn't have the start up sound anymore. The problem at the moment is that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera, and I don't feel like breaking my camera to try and see if it works.
Just to be save, make sure you backup your "SemcCameraUI.apk" file before modifying it and if things don't do as planned, put it back.
you dont have to unlock the bootloader to delete that file, root is enough.

That's totally true, but you can't modify the odexed apk file. You first have to deodex it, delete it, then odex it again and see if it works.. speaking of which I can give it a shot. Will report back later!

[Q] Turn Off Sound Feedback When Adjusting Volume?

I'm having trouble finding an answer to this on Google because the keywords aren't distinct enough.
When adjusting the volume with the volume buttons, the phone makes a little beep to tell you how loud the current setting is. I'd like to be able to turn that off, if it's possible. Don't ask me why, but that little beep that phones give has always annoyed me for me some reason.
I've been searching through the phone's files (like /system/media/audio/ui), but I don't see an audio file for it, so it might be written directly into an apk. Does anyone know of an app or something to change this? I usually use an Xposed module to turn it off, but Xposed doesn't work with the ART on Lollipop.
EDIT
I just found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185476. The method in that thread says that you need to decompile, modify, and recompile "/system/framework/framework.jar".

Yes, phone is rooted but I didn't find that sound there.
Link below shows preview that sound
youtube.com/watch?v=27lJjos_tNg
I have been looking into this myself, and it seems the NFC sounds are built into NfcNci.apk (I can't post links yet, but it's the first hit on Google for the search "nexus 6 disable nfc sounds").
The post I linked above has a fairly easy solution posted, but root access is required. I have been using Trigger for a while now but have never seen the option to disable these system sounds, as mentioned by one user.

[Q] Ascending ringtone fix/mod?

Hi,
Does anybody know how to fix the awful ascending ringtone in the moto g5 plus? I have missed many calls and messages because of this. I am okay to flash a zip file if needed. Please provide a fix.
Disabling it in settings seems to do the trick pretty well...
Here is the zip to disable it.i looked in my phone and there is no option.

Its not in the settings of a lot of phones.
Don't ask me why its not an option. I asked Motorola and they couldn't come up with any reson other than "its the way the phone software was written"
I use the Disable Increasing Ring App which works OK but unfortunately boosts the sound not only for the ring tone but also for every notification I get (email/WhatsApp/Facebook etc) . Shame cos otherwise its a good app.

I thought I missed the option in the settings but apparently it just isn't there. It's a shame almost every other phone has that option under Settings>Sound

Disable Shutter sound?

Hey,
I had to buy a new phone (P10 VTR-L29) in Japan and I have an japanese SIM card. Japanese phones and SIM cards always make the shutter sound. By rooting my phone and by flashing a magisk module, I could delete the shutter sound for whatsapp and other apps. But the stock camera still makes the sound. Is there a way to disable it? There is no option in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound.
Thanks!
Go to settings o f the camera app then scroll down find the mute settig then enable it.

Like I already said: "There is no option in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound."
There should be mute in the settings (drag from right in camera app).
I haven't yet rooted this phone so can't be sure but there should be somewhere in "system/media/audio/ui" to find the camera .ogg files and either rename so you can easily put them back or delete. I would just rename to play safe camera_click.ogg.backup or something (for all camera sounds).
Obviously remember to backup before fiddling in /system

In the attachments is a screenshot of my settings.
I also replaced the system/media/audio/ui files by flashing a magisk module. It worked to some extent. Snapchat, whatsapp and so on won't make a sound, but the stock camera app still makes a sound.
So I am guessing that Huawei hardcoded this setting into the stock camera app if you bought it in Japan.
Maybe someone can extract their stock camera app so I can install it on my phone?

Don't think I am using any different font, I am using Text style default but theme Skyline and Oreo Emoji.

I wouldn't imagine be hardcoded into apk. If you are rooted there is no reason I can see you not being able to turn it off. I would try changing all the sounds off manually rather than through module in case is slightly different names or something, only verified working for Lineage.
Also I think you can change the camera names in build.prop
As I say I haven't rooted this so can't be sure where it is, what it's called or indeed even if there is something there.
