I have a rooted Galaxy S3 with Nova launcher, and it’s mostly fine, but I hate the “water drip” when I’m dialing.

I’ve seen ways to replace that with various sounds, but they’re static with the same sound for each number.

I really want it to do the dual-tone touch-tone sound like a land line, “Do dew dooo due doo dewe do”…

Does that make sense? Anything available like that?

I guess it doesn’t exist, I bet I can do it myself.

I’ll report back in a month  
ETA: Downloading SDK now

If you’re willing to use a different dialer anyway, no need to write your own. Just use one like ExDialer ([https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer)) or DialerOne ([https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.dialer.DialerOne](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.dialer.DialerOne)). They have standard DTMF tones.

Thanks, Reply.

I’ve download both and they are producing the touch tone sounds. I’m evaluating now.
