Want to Change S-Pen Sounds without having to use another app - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod

The Note 20 Ultra is Great, but I would like to be able to change the S-Pen Sounds without having to install another App or a Launcher.
I would likento know where the Hidden Folder would be for the S-Pen Sounds so I can Change the Sound for when it is removed as well as it being put back.
If Anyone Knows this Information, then Please post it here for Everyone to see.
Agian, No Mods, No Apps, and No Launchers to change the S-Pen Sounds.

I'm going to just go assume you'd need root to change the audio files that are most likely located in the system partition.
Do you have the Exynos or Snapdragon variant?

Tried to on the 10+, no joy.
Be nice if there be a Good Lock apk to do this...

It's a new phone.... you're not gonna find a way this soon in the game to do it without some other app. Do they even have root yet for it? Cause those folders you need root to view.

I use note buddy for s pen sounds, No need for root. And root is available if you so choose. I'm currently rooted.

Cool it works but jeeeeezse samsung.... shouldn't need to install an app to change a sound file.
Like I'm really concerned about losing those lame samsung sound bites, bah-ha-ha-ha... not.

Note buddy doesn't work for me... SPen toolbox worked for me...

They are apparently going to be releasing a Good Lock app for Spen customization. May include sound changes if you want something more "official"

The Pentastic app available through the GoodLock app. Allows multiple customization to the S-Pen.

Yea, that was the app I was referring to. Seems decent, just gotta find some good pointers and sounds.

The good thing about Pentastic is you can install it as a standalone, good lock is not required. Pentastic is pretty good fun to use, well worth a try, just to try out new pen removal and insert noises is worth it.

Those looking to add lightsaber sounds to spen, download the lightsaber notification sounds from the zedge and use timbre app to reduce the volume of those files by 50% since they are very loud. 50% less is perfect balance.

I didn't get it on the playstore.. you can down load the apk from other sources.

Everyone is Talking about Good Lock.
What My Original Post was referring to was for being able to change the S-Pen Sounds without having to Install ANY other Apps that eat up Space and Resources.
I wish that by going through the System Files somewhere in Android that the S-Pen Sound Files Can be Found and Replaced for Both taking Out the S-Pen and Inserting the S-Pen.
Hopefully the Sounds are in an MP3 Format and can be Swapped without Any Problems and would stay even after Updates.

[Q] Camera Shutter Sound

do we have anything on the camera shutter sound front? Id really love to silence it for good because not only is it abnoxious, but its also loud! preferably something simple for us who have the phones intact with all the bloatware and not rooted? plain old official out of the box stuff.

Without root ... i don`t think so
U must modify /system/CSC/others.xml and add

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
with root it's possible by using wanam exposed.

Because in some countries it is forbidden to make "silent photo" or "spy photo" that is why they disable that menu

Sorry for asking, but just to be sure: Have you run the ESS app and checked the 'Disable STREAM_SYSTEM_ENFORCED' checkbox?
It was definitely working on my S4 mini with stock firmware (at that time).

SideSync 3.0 and Note 3

I've been using the 8.4 for a few days now and while I really enjoy the SideSync feature to sync up my Note 3 phone when it's not on hand, I haven't been able to open a keyboard to actually type anything, respond to a text message etc.
I was wondering if there is anyway to activate a keyboard.
Thanks!
My keyboard auto pops up.

Same here, but I can't get mine to connect without launching the phone app each time
I have to launch the app each time too.
Does your battery on your note 3 not like just drop like a rock? Seems for me when it is connected by wifi direct it just drops like a rock.
I found the solution. I installed a S5 keyboard on my note 3 and it worked after that. I'm running Effortless rom on my t-mobile note 3, that's where I got the keyboard linked below.

Thanks! Working great now. Last question - is it possible for me to install a zip file without having a rooted phone? My note 3 isn't rooted.
To install that particular zip, you need root. It needs to write that keyboard to the system folder which is only writable if you have root

So has anyone solved this problem of having to launch the app on the phone each time? It'd be much more useful if we can keep the app running on the phone so we don't actually have to physically get the phone in order to use it.

[Q] Edge screen panels

I know its early days and not many people have a Note Edge yet. I really hope someone can help me out on this when they do?
My Note Edge (Korean model), does not have the Twitter, Yahoo sports ticker or the yahoo news panels. This is very frustrating because I was really looking forward to these. I wonder once its available in the US, if someone would be able to extract these panels from their roms somehow?
Im stuck with some panels showing Koren information from a source called Daum.
By the way, there's a new panel available for download - its for the S Planner, I love it! It shows upcoming appointments. Only downside is that it will only show appointment the day.
Same boat. In Korea... Daum ticker.
Hopefully something changes
Yeah, waiting for something to change soon. :fingers-crossed:
Well i have my phone but the problem now is root.
I wont be able to pull the ticker from my phone without rooting it first. I would try to note 4 method but i dont wanna be the first to try it lol.

Thanks for even considering, mate. I wouldn't expect you to start messing with a phone you just purchased for huge amount of money.
I might try to root mine if there are some step by instructions. I am just not very familiar with rooting since I haven't done one for ages.

Ok root explore has access to the system, but its in read only mode. So i can copy that, just not sure what the edge panel apk is called. Ill check it out later on tonight and see if i can find something
Then maybe for the time being it can resign it and able you to install it as a apk vs system apk.
Not sure its been a while since i done that.

For what it's worth when I had the Docomo version of the edge I rooted via some Japanese dev sites that got it done very quickly. And to add custom recovery I was able to use my own tmobile TWRP file and it added custom recovery no problem. So I'm sure it's a very similar process because they basically same sans the edge screen

Phone is full of sk telecom apps.
Why did bloody Samsung or sk telecom put these useless Daum ticker panels on the phone I got??? Why couldn't they just leave the Yahoo panels on it???
How do I get hold of these panels???

i have a korean 915k anyone knows how to delete those korean panel ?
The G3 had a secret menu that allowed you to change some build.prop properties or with an editor. You could simply allow dual screen on all apps which isn't allowed stock.
I edited a lot of the G3 environment through build.prop. Is there something similar for Samsung devices? Not sure if it's on all devices or not.

Not sure about deleting unless you have root access.
I am not rooted yet. I have disabled these panels in my 915S.
The apk you need to disable is 'portalservicewidget' this under the application manager > All.
If you want to disable the useless quick access panel than disable the Live UX apk.

They rely on Samsung specific frameworks. It's possible, but it'd be quite an undertaking as it would require a lot of work from what I understand.
You'd be better off finding a substratum theme.

Custom S Pen Sounds

Hi Xdaers,
I'm sure that most of you know about 'Note Buddy' and 'S Pen Toolbox' allowing you to customise the 'attach/detach' sounds of the 'S Pen', along with some other features.
I'm hoping that someone can point me to an app or method that will allow me to customise the sound emitted when you move the device too far away from the 'S Pen'.
I was able to do this on my 'Note 8', now I've forgotten how, but was definitely not through 'Root'.
Any help would be much appreciated, this is the last step in the customisation of my 'Note 10 plus 5G' and its driving me crazy.
Peace...
I think those aspects (sounds of s-pen) no longer work. I mean Note Buddy no longer works for me --itll work for like 2 minutes then revert back to stock sound. So I dont know at this point if those other sounds can be changed

'S Pen Toolbox' sounds modding feature
definitely works on my 'Exynos', I don't use it's other features so can't attest to those. The only thing is that it doesn't include changing the proximity alarm sound.

It's not about the function, it's about the sound, and you'd know this if you'd read the thread from the start.
For instance with 'S Pen toolbox' I'm able to change the S Pen detach sound to that of a 'light sabre' and the attach sound to that of a door being locked. With 'S Pen keeper' the proximity alarm sound has been changed to that of a klaxon.
Small things, but they make the device uniquely mine.
I just installed it and change the sound, but it doesn't play it when I use the S Pen

Have you given it 'Administrator' permission?, there's a toggle in the app for it.
Also, make sure that notification volume is turned on.
Ensure that no 'Accessibility Services' are enabled that may interfere with notification sounds, then restart the device.

I guess 1 out of 2 isn't too bad, considering that no updates in years, but for me, S Pen Keeper also works for the proximity functionality.
Maybe try a different sound file/format.
edit- wrong session
Have a look to Pentastic original Samsung App for Spen ?
Pentastic is fantastic.
These are the customisations that should have shipped with the S pen from the get go.
No need for 3rd party apps now, except for the 'proximity alarm' customisation, so Samsung if you're listening, please add this in the next 'Pentastic' update.
No go with Pie... screw Q
