Is there any way to disable the low battery alert sound?
I hate it when I'm doing something and it goes buh-bup in my ear.
It always startles me when listening to music.. fn annoying!!

I haven't done this, but I believe the following should disable the sound.

In terminal:

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

mv /system/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg.old

yeah that should work. You just have to rename/remove that soundfile then it won't play. Just like the camera/video shutter sounds. I think you have to be rooted, don't know if you can modifiy that from ADB, I've never used ADB

I can't seem to make the command work. I am using android terminal emulator by jack palevich if it makes a difference.
Can you explain where the enter command goes inbetween commands.
I'm a newb to the terminal emus.

Did you run this line?

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Usually if you get a read only error, it means you didn't mount it for writing.

Yes,i ran it exactly as you put it. Not sure what is wrong.

Do the spaces in the code matter?

I.e.

Mv /system
Mv/system

Here is the exact code as I put it


export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ $ su
#mount -o remount,rw/dev/block/mtdblock4/system
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
# mv /system/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg.old
failed on '/system/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg' - Read-only file system

It looks like there should be a space in the line (see underscores)
mount -o remount,rw_/dev/block/mtdblock4_/system

However I am a random wanderer and might have mis-read this.

Here are the spaces:

mount[space]-o[space]remount,rw[space]/dev/block/mtdblock4[space]/system

I just triple checked and this works.

If you're still having problems with getting it to work, I think you can also use root explorer to rename or delete the file.

You retried with the correct spacing and it still errors out? Root explorer might be an easier option then.

You need to type exactly what I wrote.

LowBattery is not the same lowbattery.

Everything is cAsE seNsItiVE.
