[TouchPad Themes and Apps] Mr.Quipster:
Before I start, I'm not sure if this is know or whatever, but I wanted to contribute it anyway. So yeah.

There's a vid on the bottom showing the results.

So I ran into a really cool mod for our TPs. I found that I was able to change all the system sounds on the ICS rom. I was able to replace the default system sounds with custom sounds of my own. I ran into this idea when I was replacing the system sounds on my laptop's OS (Windows 7). And I thought, hey, why I couldn’t do this with my TP. So I began my research here and various places in search of custom sounds that others had used. I found none mainly because I cut my search short. Anyway, I replace several SS (system sounds) with really cool, IMO, sound effects and synthesize speech. For instance, my lock and Unlock system sounds. My "Lock" sound, this is when you push the power button to allow the TP to sleep of shutdown, has been switched from a "Click" sound effect to a synthesize speech saying "Good bye." The same goes for my "Unlock" sound, which is now "Welcome." I also switch the "tick" sound with a single water drop sound effect and “Notification sound” to a speech synthesis saying “Your Attention is required”. You’ll find all of them attached to this thread. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY CUSTOM SOUND EFFECTS PLEASE POST THEM HERE!! I'D LOVE TO HEAR THEM!!!

It's really neat IMO. Anyway, you can do this too and here's how:

Disclaimer: I will not be responsible for any harm or damage that you may cause to your device. Proceed at YOUR OWN RISK.

Requirements: Must have rooted device. :D

Things you'll need before you start:

•Desired sound effects. You can use the one I supplied if you like or you can use your very own.

•An audio converter. There are tons of free audio converters out there. TONS. I used Switch Sound File Converter. It’s free and incredibly fast.

•A root explorer app. It must be able to access, read, and write system files. Root Explorer is perfect.

•	BACK UP YOUR DEVICE. You don’t have too but I don’t want to hear crap.

Installation:

1.	Download your desired sound effects.

2.	Convert, if not already, these sound effects to an “.ogg” file. With Switch Sound File Converter, simply drag and drop selected files into the “add files” box of the program. Then, on the bottom left of the window there is an “Output Format” field. Select .ogg in that box.

Explanation: We must convert to an .ogg file because it is the only kind of file android recognizes in the system folders.

3.	Compile all newly converted sound effects into a folder and name it whatever you like. Something you can remember. Now drag and drop it to the root of your device. We just need it to be somewhere where we can access it quickly.

So at this point you should have the folder that contains all the converted sound effects in a folder in the root of your device.

4.	Now with your *Root* File Explorer, navigate to the folder containing all the converted .ogg files. Choose one to begin with. I’ll switch up my “Lock” system sound with a speech synthesis saying “Good bye”

5.	Select and long hold the desired sound effect.

6.	Select the “Copy” option

7.	Now navigate to the system folder. You’re going to have to push back several times to get to that folder. This is the path: system>media>audio>ui

8.	Now paste the file to this folder.

9.	Okay. Now we must rename that file we just pasted to the one we want to replace. In this instance we’ll be replacing the “Lock” file.

•	To avoid troubleshooting, rename the file to “Lock1.ogg.” Do not forget that “1.” I did this because I didn’t know how the ROM would react to two files in the system with the same name. I basically did it to be safe.

•	And Spell it out exactly how the original file is spelt.

So now we have the original file and the pasted file. Do whatever you desire to the original file. Delete it. Copy it to back it up. I don’t care. Just remove it from this folder.

10.	Now rename the file currently named “Lock1.ogg” to just “Lock.ogg” without the “1.”

11. Now we have to set permisions. To do that, press and hold the system sound file that we just renamed. Select "Permissions." Make sure that the only ones that are check are the entire "Read" column and in the "Write" column the user should be check marked. It should look like an upside down L.

Explanation: We cannot simply use a file with a random name because the Android OS only recognizes these specific tittles or descriptions. Trust me; I have tried many times in the “notifications” folder. I thought it was just a drag and drop thing. Boy was I wrong.

12.	Now test it by pushing the power button. If you don’t hear the custom sound effect, try doing a hotboot and try again.

In addition, you can use these sound effects on your PC. Of course you'd have to use the original files and not the converted ones. But they work all the same. I've replaced most of my PC system sounds with these.

Again, Please post your custom sound effects if you have any! I'd really like to hear all of them.
