An Alarm Question? - HTC Excalibur

Ok, I've been searching the forums and around for my question and couldn't find anything so I'm biting the bullet and posting a thread .
My question is is there away to add sounds for the alarm , I can add ringtones no problem but I even tried adding sound files into my windows folder where the other sounds are listed for my alarm , but that didn't work and I cant stand the 2 alarm sounds that come stock. Thanks
also does anyone have the name or thread for the program that closes applications when your done with it?

Get Rid of Unread Message Sound?

Ok... I have been searching for an answer and I cannot find this anywhere.
If I have an unread text message, when I reboot my phone I get this annoying "song" letting me know I have an unread text message. It does not stop until I unlock the phone and at least pull down the notification bar.
I think it is some version of the "over the horizon" jingle.. I have searched in the system/media folder to see if it is located there in order to delete it, however the only one that sounded similar was the acoustic "over the horizion" .ogg - but renaming that with .bak at the end did not rectify the problem.
Does anyone know where the system is pulling this sound from? I want to replace it with something a little more.. mature. Or get rid of it all together.
Any help is appreciated. If you don't know what I am talking about, please leave the thread for more experienced users to reply instead of cluttering it with questions.
thanks!

It's not going to be easy to help you without asking a question, but I'll try.
Check the Notifications folder on intsd for the sound file. If not there, you can search for audio files with any file explorer to find it. But the folder you checked and the one I listed are going to be the most common places for notifications.
Stop using stock Samsung messaging app because it's garbage. In any case, you've overlooked a setting (in messenger app), probably.
I have already run a search using root explorer that covered the entire system, and did not find any .ogg or .wav sound files I had not already checked.
It's not a setting in the stock messaging app (which, btw, works perfectly for me and definitely better than any 3rd party messaging app IMO)
There's nothing in the internal SD card notification folder except for the facebook pop sound. Only a beginner would not have checked that.
This is why I said let more experienced users answer, preferable Devs who understand the architecture of the stock GS3 system folders.
The further I look into this issue, the more I am beginning to think it's a T-Mobile function that cannot be disabled in the stock ROM without modifying the ROM itself. I have found threads in other forums where it's even an issue in T-Mobile Windows phones.
I do however remember there was a way to disable it on one of my old phones.. either the MyTouch 4G or the SGS2.. but I cannot find the xda thread from way back then.
My search continues.. I will post any information I find out.
Update: Checked the build.prop file and I can see where the default "alarm_alert=Walk_in_the_forest.ogg" is called out, however I do not think this is the cause as that .ogg file does not sound like the alert I am hearing. I believe the line of code I am looking at only dictates the default alarm sound. Continuing to troubleshoot..

How do you set a custom alarm tone for Jelly Bean 4.2?

Hello
How do you set up a custom alarm tone for Jelly Bean 4.2?
....seriously please stop creating a new thread for everything that is going on with your phone, you have post so many new threads in the past few hours that could have either been handled by searching or just just trying things out.
now i get it that what may intuitive to some may be hard for others but a quick little post in the roms thread would suffice "hey just flashed this rom, seems great, just having an issue adding a custom alarm! an help?"
not trying to be a **** but you really need to pause and think, does this qualify for a new thread? am i creating clutter, is there a better way to ask/find out for my self?

Hello there I completely understand where you are coming from, but let us remember that we are here to help one another, although I know your intentions are only to notify and inform the OP of his/her actions. I know it's kind of hard to believe that the OP, despite their numerous posts, have yet to pick up on it, but hey, what can we do? Show them the proper path.
To the OP: Hello there, to answer your question, you will need to create a certain file path and place the mp3 in a certain folder. The folder pathway(is this correct?) is /sdcard/media/audio/alarms. You should put the MP3 file in that respective folder. If your SD card does not have that path, create it. You can also try putting the mp3 in the "Alarms" folder, although I've heard it doesn't always work and for the file to show up in the alarm sound selection, you need to reboot the device.
On a serious note OP, before deciding on posting a new thread, try searching within Google first, then XDA if it boils down to a certain ROM. Your question is pertaining to Jelly Bean, not Flinny's ROM or Andromadus (catch my drift?) I know it might seem tedious at first, but please search first. I hope this helps.

Zooper imported:null

Hi everyone,
New to the forums here, I couldn't find an answer on the forum but that's probably because I'm not a good searcher.
So in case of a duplicate post I apologize in advance and feel free to delete this immediately.
I'm having an issue with my Zooper Pro app, I just purchased it yesterday and watched the basic video tutorial.
The issue starts when I try to import a template (.zw) file. The way I go about this is I will put them in a dropbox folder and try to import them through there on my phone (Google Nexus 5).
However when I try to do this I keep getting "Imported: null" and can't find the widget anywhere.
I already feel embarrassed in advance because this has probably been asked a million times and has been answered even more, but like I said I have been looking for a solution for a day now.
Many thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums TheTilor!
The best way to import templates to Zooper is to manually put them on your device by either copying through USB or downloading them. Then you can use a file manager to move them to /sdcard/ZooperWidget/Templates. After that they'll show up in the "SD Card" category when you try to load a template in Zooper.
Happy theming
