Could someone please direct me to the folder that contains the dial keypad tones (not ringtones)? I want to make some custom ones to match my theme. Thanks.

I am wanting to change the tones of the keypad when dialing a number. I can't seem to find the mp3 or ogg files associated with the touch tones. I even decompiled phone.apk and couldn't find them...

k if you have root explore go to system /media/audio / UI, you'll find all the keypress standard. ogg

changing the tone might screw up "automated dial-in systems such as voicemail or where prompts are used to navigate." that being said the closest thing i coulf find was a link over at xda
[MOD] Dialer key sounds (DTMF) instead of Waterdrop (JVT) - xda-developers
it might help someone who knows what there doing. but the sounds are installed to system/media/audio/effects, and /ui, which nothing in our phone indicates touchtone sound files. but there is also an app in there that goes into /system/app/

Ah bummer. I googled too, before I posted. My search came up empty too. The UI folder didn't contain any touch tones, just keyboard. I decompiled countless apk files looking for them but couldnt find anything. Is it possible those tones are made with a combination of 2 or more tones? I found a couple of tones that sound strange. This is really bugging me. Lol

Hi,
The sounds for the keytones are not, to the best of my knowledge, contained in the /system/media/audio/ui directory. That directory does contain sound files for the start up sounds, keyboard clicks, lock and unlock sounds, and various others, but not the file(s) that the dialer uses (that delightful water drip). If anybody can find where those are kept, I'd really like to know, but after tracking this in a variety of places, I have yet to see it ideniified.
If you do want to change the sounds of what is in this directory, they have to be ogg files. Audacity (free audio software) can make these files from other sound files.

I have looked in the raw folder inside the apk and all it has are the
connect/disconnect ogg files, but not the keytones. It's curious that
they are so hard to find.

I'll check again, but I remember not having much luck months ago...

For the AT&T phones, it's not in the SecPhone.apk, but inside the
SecContacts.apk there is a file called touch.ogg which is, indeed,
the water drip sound. I suspect that this is what the dialer uses.
Does anyone know (I haven't tried this before) if I can just replace
that one file the apk with another with a different sound? That is,
the apk appears to be modifiable with WinRAR, but I don't know if
there is a checksum or something like that which would cause it
to crash on installation.
If I can just put a different sound in place of that (provided that
this is, indeed, the guilty sound file) then that would be a pretty
simple fix. It won't have more than one sound - so no DTMF -
but even a beep would be better than the water torture.
