Default Modifying/Disabling some system sounds (updated 29. 3. 2010)

I'm pretty annoyed with the beep that my tattoo makes every time a call ends. Now that we have root, has anyone figured which files do we need to edit/delete so we can getr rid of that obnoxious sound? It's not possible to disable it in the Settings, it's there even when Silent mode is enabled.

Edit: Explanation: immediately the other person answers the call, my phone vibrates. That's what I'm referring to as a before-the-call sound.



UPDATE: If anyone wants to disable the welcome screen sound (when the green creature dances around), go to
Quote:
/system/media/bootscreen/
and delete
Quote:
boot.mp3
(i recommend that you backup the file to sdcard.)

It vibrates so you dont have to hold the phone on your ear and you still know when that person answers...
It's a cool feature.

it surely will drain considerable amount of battery from tattoo... first of all we are worried that battery back up is not that good (1100 mah)...

@coolbits: r u on a cost cutting mode ??? you think we can reduce the call costs from this ??? what will we do if we come to know that other person hung up the phone or has recieved our call ????

r you so busy so that you make a call and continue working on other things till that person recieves your call ????

please dont get offended by this, all i am saying this is its worthless & with weak battery, this function was not called for..... thats all. i dont have any intention of hurting anyone's sentiments....

i thought of giving you the reasons what we all are thinking about that feature.....

hope someday we have he liberty to choose whether we want it on tattoo or not... otherwise it will not make it as a cool feature on tattoo....

No but it's better not to hold the phone near your head while connecting as at that time it uses more power.

This has nothing to do with any cost and quick vibrate on answer will not drain your battery...

yeah the vibration is cool for me too, but some people might want to disable that too. personally, i'd disable the hang-up tone - it seems really useless as i know when i hang up, lol. i mean, i press the red button and all. :P

I agree on coolbits on this one. I find the vibrating a very well thought feature. Its not abt cost or anything its just helpful, a little touch that makes life easier .

But we r getting off topic here. If someone could just find out how to modify these would b nice. Theres no point convincing each other that its nice or not because itll be different for each of us.

well said yash09... that was the point i was making out of this topic.... we should have an option of enabling/disabling it... then we can agree that its a customised option for all.....
