It's often mentioned that the slider sounds can be customized and I've seen it in a video but I want to know if you can use your own sounds (ie. using an mp3 file on the device) instead of the pre-loaded or online ones from Xiaomi?

The china dev rom let's you do that. Not sure you can do mp3 though. It has Online ones but given it goes to a Chinese service I haven't looked there.

Ok cool, will there be a global dev rom you think? And maybe not mp3's but our own sound files of some format, right?
I'll be buying the global version in the west and I'd like to use cliche Zelda sounds for the slide sound...

I would assume yes at some point a dev global rom would show up on XDA but also I would assume the feature will make it to stable as well...who knows, maybe even on the first release of a stable global
Slider settings is only available on China Dev for now and I flashed it, but there was only stock preset or useless downloadable sounds...
Only root can change sound files in /system/media/ui.

Assuming you had root on global 10.2, could you replace the default slider sound file in /system/media/ui with any sound file? Any idea what the format would have to be? My Mi Mix 3 is in route otherwise I would look myself
Hey all,
I have successfully used a custom open/close sound for the slider. I am on global hardware and global MIUI ROM 10.2.2.0, rooted with Magisk 17.3. I haven't tried making new entries in the list of options (which are Hi-Tech, Lighter, Warrior, Mechanics, and Intellect), but replacing one of the current ones was really straightforward. Here's a quick guide anyway:
*THIS REQUIRES ROOT*
Find whatever sounds you want to use in two separate audio or video files (I used the lightsaber on/off sounds from this Youtube video)
Convert the file to an .ogg file (I used this website but it doesn't particularly matter)
Copy the files to your Mi Mix 3 somehow (I literally just emailed them to myself)
Use a root file explorer (I used ES Explorer) and navigate to \system_root\system\media\audio\ui
Pick one of the current sounds to replace (I used slider_zippo_open.ogg and slider_zippo_close.ogg)
Rename your custom sounds the same name as the ones you're replacing
Move the sounds you are replacing to another folder for safe-keeping or delete them, whichever you prefer
Move the custom sounds that now match the old names into the UI folder
Go into the slider settings (close and reopen Settings if you had it open during the movement of files) and select the sound you replaced (in my case 'Lighter')
Profit
can do no chief!

I have been able to customize every sound for my phone except the sound when my phone locks or unlock. Has anyone found the file that needs to be modified in order to change that? I have tried to use many of the lockscreen replacement apps, but none habe satisfied what I'm looking for. TIA.

replace the unlock.ogg with whatever .ogg file you want to use inside the system/media/audio/ui folder. I used my droid.ogg for each time i unlocked the screen, but make sure its the same file name as the one your replacing or it won't work.
edit: I uploaded the droid.ogg file, just rename it to Unlock.ogg before you paste it into the system/media/audio/ui folder.
Hope this helps
be sure to unzip it first lol
I have tried to change these files with no success. What exactly is a .ogg file? Will any media file work if I change the extension to .ogg? ie: .mp3 to .ogg? Thanks

you need to convert not rename the audio files to .ogg for the phone to play specific unlock/lock sounds.
I have mine set to Ep2 Lightsaber open/close

the .ogg file is inside the .zip i attached, i just can't attach it as an actual file since XDA doesn't allow that format unless its zipped
rename droid.ogg to unlock.ogg
i've done this many times before with all the ROMs i've used and it works as long as its a Froyo rom since it was added in 2.2 for the Incredible.
.ogg is a format thats open source, playable on WinAMP, VLC, and GOM player.
if you need to convert a file that you don't have in .ogg format, use this link to upload it and convert it online.
http://media.io/
it will ask you to browse for the file you want converted, then it will ask you what format you want to convert it to
Hope that helps, if so, please click "Thanks"
I know I posted this in the other lock sounds thread, but I thought I would post it here to for those that may be watching this thread for an answer.
SUCCESS! I was actually able to use a different site using my phone. http://www.online-convert.com/
I then used root explorer to rename and copy the file into the correct system folder. Works great now. My only complaint is that it seems I can't control the volume of the lock/unlock sounds I chose using any of the volume settings. It's always on full blast unless I set to silent or vibrate. Any ideas? Thanks.

I dont think you can adjust the volume of the unlock UI notification within of the basic controls of the volume (RT/Media/Alarm). Only thing i can think of is editing the sound file to a lower volume you can use most audio editors/mixers to do that. Then convert/overwrite
2cents
SUCCESS AGAIN!! I did some research and found out you can change the system volume, which controls the lock sounds, via an app called Audio Manager. I just used the free widget version and lowered my system volume by one or two. Works great. I don't personally use the widget portion of the app. Thanks for everyone's help on this. Hope my trials help someone else find the answers they need.

Big thanks to Biggoron.
This shouldn't effect your phone or harm it but if you screw it up its not my fault always have a backup.
I figured Id do a how to for some new people or those who never thought of this. Anyways....
1. You'll need some kind of root viewer root explorer es file manager etc. (Make sure your system is rewritable)
2. A .wav file is needed so find one you like however if you don't have one or only have a mp3 then use an online converter.
3.Once you have those two go into your root file viewer and find /system then go into the etc file and scroll down until you see a PowerOn.wav if you don't see one then it's fine. However go ahead and delete it and paste your .Wav file sound and rename it to PowerOn.wav Reboot and you should hear your sound playing. I if not your phone sucks ^^ no but then you did something wrong or your kernel may not support it.
UI Sounds
Okay for UI sounds it very similiar except go into the media folder in /system find audio and look in UI folder. For (the touch sound) find TW_Touch.ogg and delete it and paste your .ogg file you'd liked to use I personally just rename the Effect_Tick.ogg to TW_Touch and it sounds like the normal gingerbread touch tone. (Charger Connection Sound) is the Charger_Connection.ogg and the the full battery notification is TW_Battery_caution and lastly the low battery notification is TW_Low_Battery.
Just reboot and the new sounds shall take effect.
Have fun wasting some time customizing your phone.

great tips thank you! I'll give this a try one my class is done
Hi guys,
maybe for most of you the clicking sound "chick chick" isn't annoying but it's too loud and hurts my senses especially using ear phones...
I have a very cool clicking sound file from my old Samsung mobile... I would want to change default to that and lower it's volume...
Anyone know where is the wav file located for that clock sound in our Roms?
That mp3 located in system/media/audio/ui/
yeah thanks.. I figured it out already yesterday...
How is the selection done from the files within the directory? Do we replace the file with our own with the same filename? Because I changed from one rom (Omega 16.2) to another (Omega 9.2) and I saved in my pc the folder /system/media/audio/ui from both roms to compare them. Although both roms have (almost) the same files in the directory, the touch sound (which is the one I want to change) is different. So how do I choose which file the system uses for each operation?
EDIT: I am using Samsung Galaxy SII, I got here from a link from another thread. I will post this to the proper forum again, although the system is the same
i installed cm6. i cant find any guide anywhere on how to add custom ringtones and custom wallpaper to cm6 on the g1. how do you do it? what types of files are recognized? in what folder do i put them? the cyanogenmod wiki shows how to install cm6 but doesnt explain how to do such basic things. how do you do this on cm6? thanks
first of all try to post your questions in the q&a section.
what purpose are you trying to add ringtones and wallpapers, is this for your own rom development? do you want these saved into the system files?
if you just want more useable ringtones and wall papers there are tons of apps that give you this just fine, zedge for example has lots.
i know you said custom, there are apps in the market for this too, mp3ringtone or something like that.
or real easy just put a folder on your sd card named ringtones, one notifications, and one wallpappers --
make sure you have the files in the right format and put them in there
1. what format do the ringtones and wallpapers have to be?
2. do i just create 2 folders 1 called ringtones and the other called wallpaper? where do i place them in the sd card? root of the card?
thanks in advance
wallpaper .jpg is fine, others should work
ringtones .mp3 - again others probably work
put on the root of the sd card, yes name the folders wallpapers and ringtones
your os should put them in place like when you go into settings>sounds>ringtones it should show up. if not they are still accessible once on your phone and you can set them. such as when you go into wallpaper you can pick from your gallery to set wallpaper or contact icon.
if you want to incorporate these into the rom your running that takes a bit more effort
well maybe not too much, i think you can use root explorer (or other file managers) to add directly into the proper place in your os, i know you can go into system>fonts then add font choices
im not in front of my g1 right now but if you want to do it this way im sure a little exploring on your own will give you the answer
i put a jpeg image in several folders on my sd card. i go to the phone clikc settings wallpaper, then gallery, it doesnt show up in gallery. i then click file manager and find my jpeg. i click on it and it sends me back to the previous menu. ??????? did cyanogen make it so you cant use custom wallpapers???? your forced to use his choices? the same for ringtones. i cant even get my mp3 to be listed with cyanogens ringtones. this is such a simple task on all my other phones. but with this custom firmware i have no idea how to do this.
put the .mp3 into a folder named ringtones. put that folder on the root of your sd card. this should work fine ive done it on many roms including cyanogen based ones. if not you can download an app from the market that will do custom ringtones for you.
as for images, yes they can be used as wallpaper, hell if you take a picture with camera on your phone it can be used as wallpaper.

i did that. the dumb software doesnt work. i made a folder called ringtones put it in root of sd and put an mp3 in it. i go to sound and ringtones and its NOT on the list. i made a folder called wallpapers and put in a jpeg. then i go to home and click settings then wallpaper then there are 3 choices: cyanogen wallpaper its not in there. then i click gallery. it asks do i want gallery or file manager. i click gallery. it takes me to a screen with a frozen pic that doesnt change or let me choose anything. on the upper right is a camera buton. i click it and takes me to camera but i cannot even choose photos ive taken for wallpaper. then i click on file manager i find my jpeg and i click on it. it takes me back to choosing gallery or file manager. WTF???? you cant use a custom wallpaper or ringtone with this cyanogen software? did he do this on purpose to force you to use his wallpapers and ringtones. how the hell do i use a custom jpeg as a wallpaper or custom mp3 as ringtone????? nothing you said is working and there are no guides, not even on cyanogenmods wiki. all ive found is guides for the stock OS. none for this custom cm6 firmware

Calm down first of all.
It's not on the wiki because it's a general android question, not specifically cm6
Try the file manager way.
im thinking your problem is not cm6, i think its an error in your flash of the rom. something is corrupt. there shouldnt be any issues, if you are willing to reflash your rom. if you are fed up flash a new rom all together, cm6 worked poorly for me and i got rid of it a long time ago. but it did let me choose custom ringtones and wallpapers i remember that specifically (had a wallpaper of my girlfriend) so be patient, try the fixing it with the file manager or just reflash or choose another rom. try not to get too upset here
Hi,
what you need is a folder media in the root of your sd-card. Under media create folders audio and resource. Under audio create the folders alarms, notifications and ringtones. Put wallpapers into resource, alarms in audio\alarms, notification in audio\notifications and ringtones in audio\ringtones. That's it!
I have a notification sound named "93" set for the default notification sound, but I can't find it anywhere in the system files. It's a Lineage17.1 build for the Oneplus6T, I assume its official. I downloaded a zip of LineageOS stock notification sounds but I didn't find it there. But I really like this specific minimal sound. Anyone know of a way to find it?
Edit: I did find it in my Dropbox, I guess I somehow found it a 2 years ago and backed it up so I didn't have this problem. But is there an easy way of searching for these ringtones? If I did back it up and restore it on the device, it should have been easily found by its name "ding", but system notification sounds are more difficult to find, but this same sound was named "93" for some reason . But it wasn't in the ringtone folder for sure cuz I checked that which had one I know I put in there.
