[Q] Completely replace S_Whistle.ogg (S5 SM-G900F Lollipop)

[beast1970]

Hi;
In 4.4.2 I had replaced /system/media/S_Whistle.ogg with a different .ogg file that played a different sound.
In 5.0 I can replace this file but that damn whistle sound still plays.
I have made sure the permissions are fine. In Snapchat and Airdroid (the apps I notice still whistle) I have cleared the cache.

Is there a new location in Lollipop where notification sounds are stored?
I have, naturally, changed the default notification sound in Android Settings, but this only changes half the sounds.
Please help me get rid of that horrible whistle sound.

Sir,

Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.

Stand by


Good luck

Hi;
Turns out the way to do it is to make a notification sound with .OGG format and select it via the 'Notification ringtone' menu, and make sure it's on an external SD card.
The way it was before (presumably because it was an MP3 file) I was sometimes getting the custom sound and sometimes getting the whistle, which was annoying.
Either way, I fixed it, so this thread can be closed.
