Notification Sound Location in ANDROID
« on: May 27, 2014, 07:26:52 AM »
I want to change the notification sound in ANDROID. Where does the sound file reside? I am rooted but cannot find a file nor can I find any info about it for ANDROID.

The App is an apk file which can be opened like a zip. Unfortunately, you might be able to change the sound file in the apk, but there’s a good chance that will break the code signing of the app, causing the app not to work.

The option to change audio notification sounds has been requested in the past and is currently on our list of potential features to implement in the future.

Thanks for your reply. My first efforts were to find the sound file within the android file system after the app was installed. Hours of unsuccessful searching led me to trying to do it within the app before it gets installed.
I have unzipped with 7zip WinRar and WinZip, inserted custom file, and re-zipped and exactly as you say. Won't install. My custom sound file was the default sound file from the app that I ran thru Audacity and silenced the sound. The new file was same name of course and even showed same properties and details AFAIK.
I look forward to this option in the future. Great app!
