It is available in the BigBoss repository (http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia), you do not need to add it, it comes with Cydia. iFile costs $4, but if you are actively digging into the iPhone file system, the program is indispensable.

We remind you that only owners of jailbroken devices can install iFile and access the iOS file system directly from an iPhone.

After deleting the ringtone file from the device memory in “Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtone”, the entries with the names of the deleted ringtones still remain, the ringtone is only physically deleted. Let's try to remove the standard "Silk" ringtone, but first you need to access the iOS file system, and without doing this it will not work.

[Tip] Change or remove built-in ringtones, notifications and system sounds on your Android smartphone

Every mobile phone, whether it's a new touchscreen smartphone or an old candy-filled feature phone, comes with some built-in (default) ringtones, notification sounds, and system sounds, such as the sound clip you listen to when you turn on/off the mobile phone phone when you connect your mobile phone to the charger, when you take a picture with your mobile camera, when the battery is low, when you turn the phone volume to full, etc.

Some sounds such as phone ringtone, message notification, etc. can be customized and changed through the mobile phone settings, but there are many sounds that cannot be changed or disabled unless you set your mobile phone to "No" mode. sound."

This tutorial will help you with:

• Change built-in ringtones, notifications, and system sounds
• Add/remove/disable built-in ringtones, notifications, and system UI sounds
• Disabling / changing phone startup (on) and off (off) animations and sounds

So, without wasting any time, you can start the tutorial:

DENIAL OF RESPONSIBILITY: This process is very advanced and dangerous. If you are a mobile expert and are comfortable with setting up or setting up mobile phones, only then follow this guide. We do not take any responsibility if you damage the device after following this manual incorrectly, so use it at your own risk.

STEP 1:

First of all, you need to root your Android mobile phone to be able to change or delete the built-in ringtones and sound clips. You can learn more about rooting Android phones from the following links:

A WARNING: Correcting an Android mobile phone is a risky task and may void your warranty or damage your device. So root your cell phone only if you are sure and know what you are going to do with your cell phone.

STEP 2:

Now we need to install root explorer app to view firmware folders on mobile.

If you already have the root explorer app installed on your mobile phone, you can upgrade to STEP3.

If you do not have this application installed on your mobile phone, you can install the following application called " root browser”, which is a free application:

We also used this app on our test mobiles and it worked flawlessly.

STEP 3:

Now we need to go to the Media folder, which contains all the built-in ringtones and notification sounds that are played by the phone. To navigate to the Media folder, open the Root Browser app and navigate to the following folder:

system -> multimedia -> audio

In section " audio", you will see the following folders:

• Notifications
• Ringtones

"Notifications» Contains all the sound clips you see when you try to set the message notification sound in your phone settings. Sound clips are stored in OGG format. You can delete any sound clip you want or replace the existing .ogg file with any new .ogg file you want. If you want, you can paste new .ogg files into this folder and this new sound will appear in your phone settings when you try to change the message notification sound.

"Ringtones» Contains all the built-in ringtones that you see when you try to set up a mobile phone ringtone using the phone settings. As mentioned above, you can add, remove or replace existing .ogg files.

"ui"Contains all system sounds like camera shutter sound, low battery alert, charger connection, dialer, keyboard type, power on/off, etc. You can remove any sound snippet you want or replace it with any file you want. ogg.

It will immediately disable this sound on your mobile phone. In the future, if you want to re-enable this sound, you can restore the name of this .ogg fie.

BONUS TIP:

IN " system -> multimedia", you will also find files related to the phone start (turn on) and turn off (turn off) animation, The file extension will be .qmg, You will easily identify the files as their names will be like boot, shutdown etc. If you want to disable/remove phone startup/shutdown animation images, you can delete or rename these files.

Android is such a highly customizable operating system that you can even change the default sounds in it to any other. Sounds can be cut or recorded by yourself or downloaded somewhere. The procedure for replacing sounds is quite simple, but you will need a rooted smartphone or tablet with custom recovery.

You can download libraries with sounds, for example, on the page d-h.st/users/justen7723 . There are cuts of sound effects from popular movies, games and standard sounds from some smartphone models (LG G2, HTC One and Oppo N1).

1. Download any set of sounds and copy the zip file without unpacking to the device's memory. Remember where this file is located.

2. Install Root Explorer or another file manager with access to system directories, run it, go to the system/media/audio/ui folder and copy its contents to a safe place. It stores the system sounds of your device. Suddenly you want to restore them.

3. Turn off your smartphone or tablet and start it in recovery mode. Among the proposed options, choose to install a zip file from a memory card or from the internal memory of the device (depending on where the library with new sounds is copied).

4. Find the zip file you downloaded earlier, flash it and restart your device.

Everything, now new sounds should sound. If you don't like them, you can install another sound library or restore the old audio files. To restore, use the file manager: go to the system / media / audio / ui folder and copy the previously saved files into it. After copying is complete, make sure that the permissions on the sounds folder are rw-r--r--. This is necessary so that some application does not accidentally erase these files.

Hey! Most recently, we set our own ringtone on the iPhone and, despite all the difficulties, we still managed to do it. But after all, the tastes of a person are constantly changing - for example, I'm already tired of the song that I just recently set to ring. I want, you know, something new!

Well, creating something new is not a problem (), but what about the old ringtone that is no longer needed? There are not so many options - keep or delete. If left, it will take up precious internal memory. Therefore, we will delete. And here again, Apple is not the way it should be for people.

Why? Because it's not serious at all...

You can't just take and delete a ringtone from your iPhone. Well, there is no such option in iPhone settings!

And how then to be? Now I will tell and show everything. Go!

We will consider only the official method (without jailbreaks and other nonsense). After all, jailbreak is practically "dead", and this method of deleting ringtones will live forever :)

As usual, in order for the information to be as truthful and verified as possible from personal experience, I will do all the manipulations with you.

So, I have two "extra" ringtones in my iPhone:

1. Made and uploaded by myself via iTunes.
2. Purchased from the official iTunes Store. The price, by the way, is 22 rubles! But for Kipelov, even "fifty dollars" is not a pity :)

Task: remove these ringtones.

Now let's just go!

Step 1 (connect iPhone to iTunes). There should be no problems here - we take the wire (preferably the original one), connect the iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.

Step 2 (very important point!). After launching iTunes, click on the phone icon in the upper left corner.

And then, at the very bottom, check the box next to the item "Process music and videos manually" and click "Apply".

Step 3 (Open Sound Control). We don’t go anywhere and look at the left side menu - we are interested in the “Sounds” line. We select it - a list of all ringtones that have been downloaded to your iPhone appears on the right.

Step 4 (remove ringtones). Right-click on any of these ringtones, select "Remove from Library" and click "Synchronize".

Everything! We take the iPhone in hand, open "Settings - Sounds, tactile signals - Ringtone" and we see that this sound is no more. Hooray! Although…

Some problems can always arise - where without them? :) And here's what you can do if the above instructions do not help:

• Try installing a different build of iTunes. The fact is that the latest versions of the program (12.7 and “older”) are “stripped down” - Apple has removed many functions from them. Therefore, and already with its help we are trying to remove the ringtone.
• Try to erase the sound using the same program through which it was originally downloaded to the iPhone. Because if the ringtone was installed using a third-party program (for example, iFunBox), then iTunes may not be able to remove such ringtones.

Still nothing works? Well, you can always ask a question in the comments (preferably, describing your situation in more or less detail) - let's try to deal with the problem all together!
