So I have successfully rooted my EVO with the Simple OTA Root and I know how to install APK's now but where would I put my music? Or where would I put these .ogg files I have from a Droid X. Last Where do I put Ringtones?
Do I just make a folder called music? etc..any help would be greatly appreciated

If you mount your card, you'll see that there is a folder called: /Music -- this where you music will go.
For your ringtones; you'll place them inside: /system/media/audio/ringtones
In regards to the Droid X .ogg file -- if that's for the bootanimation; then that file needs to be placed in /system/customize/resource and it will have to be ranamed to: SPC_animation_final.mp3, before you copy it over to that directory.
Thanks very Much
Ok, so may sound ehh.. but How do you mount the microsd, I have it in disk drive mode right now

Disk drive mode = mounting. When you connect your phone to your computer -- your phone to should you with options, choose Disk Drive.
Ok cool, I had to add the Music Folder since I did the root and didnt have any music on there, but Im looking at my folder and I dont see a systems folder and I have my computer set to show hidden files and folders
so I dont see /System
I do have a folder called /media/audio
and there is a notifications folder in there and in there is a facebook_ringtone_pop.m4a

The /systems folder won't be on your sdcard, but rather on the phone itself.
You need to open shell/cmd and run:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/media/audio
ls -- You'll see the ringtones folder once you issue this command
Now that you know where the ringtones folder is, can you just adb push the ringtones you want to that folder.
To do this:
1. Put whatever ringtone you want into your AndroidSDK\tools folder first!
2. Open shell/cmd
3. Run following command(s):
Code:
adb push name-of-ringtone.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones
Repeat that command if you have more than one ringtone. After you've done that -- you'll need to reboot your phone and when you go to select a ringtone, your's should up.

Greetings folks,
I'm totally stoked with my G2, everything works 100% out the box, which is more than I can say for any of the three Vibrants I've had. There is one thing I miss though; The vibrant had a much better ringtones and sound effects than the G2. Where are these files located in the android system so I can copy the ones from the vibrant to the G2? Cheers for any help.
Dennis
Its in the settings and scroll to sound and that's were you will find it and you can add your own but it requires connection to a computer but its easy

Put them on the sdcard. You can use the from there.
Is it in a subfolder or something? When I plug my vibrant in to my laptop I can browse folders on the phone, but I have yet to find a folder called "sounds" within the settings folder. I'm running Win7 64bit if this helps or hinders. Thanks.
I have all mines in an Audio folder then sub folder in that with notifications, ringtones, alarm.. and they get picked up in each individual setting I believe..

Use your computer and drag your audio folder onto the SDCard after you mount the card from your phone
Reboot required for them to get recognized

ah ok, got it. Is it the same for notifications too? all I did was open the file in music and used the set as ringtone. I didn't see it on the menu in settings... is there a different way to do so?
****EDIT**** Nevermind! I see it now! Thanks a lot! Hope others that feel as noobish as I did, and didn't want to ask can just read what just happened.
But where are the stock ringtones and sound effects located that come on the phone out the box? I want to copy those off of my vibrant onto my G2. If they're on the phone from the factory they must be somewhere-I just haven't been able to find them when I hook my phone up to my computer. Even in debug mode I can't locate them. I'm totally raising my hand as a noob here, so please forgive me if they're hidden right in front of my face.

You cant access them unless you have root access.
If you do.......they should be located in \system\media\audio\

Ahh. Right, well there it is. Its not rooted. At least it wasn't in front of my face. Cheers for the info.

You can get to and view the folder via ADB without root. You can also use adb to copy the files to your PC even if you don't have root. You just can't copy them back.
Here is the location and the contents of the "Ringtones" folder. I was surprised to see that they were ogg files.

You can use OI File Manager to copy them also (the file manager that works/recommended with Dropbox) without having Root. I used that to see that there is no freaking lock sound file on the G2 under /system/media/audio/ui sigh...

If doing by adb, place the bootanimation.zip in your android sdk folder, in command prompt, navigate there, and issue the following commands:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
/system/customize/resource on sense roms
OR
place the file on your sdcard, use root explorer, enable r/w, copy the file, then move it to the above folder.
Where can I find the sdk folder?

I still don't know where that's at im new to all this so bare wit me
you need to download the Android SDK from the internet.
If you don't have ADB setup, it would take you two seconds to do this with root explorer to copy this from you sd card to system/media.

You can get it there. Its easier for me to just push it there, but like I said earlier, you can do it the root explorer way as well.

Very simple. Go to the site, install, open in, hit the sdk manager exe, run it, it creates a folder and you're done.
Then you you navigate to the folder via command prompt, then do your business.
None of this Bootscreen stuff makes sense, Please help?
I am using Evervolv-Acies rom, with clockmod recovery. I am trying to install this custom boot screen, but it's not working or I am doing it wrong. I have tried...
Install with "PushBoot" installer
- Download PushBoot HERE
- Extract "PushBoot" folder
- Move boot animation zip to "PushBoot" folder
- Plug in device (Leave in charge only mode) & double click "PushBoot2" Batch file
- Follow prompts in cmd.exe window to install your boot animation
Install with Root Explorer
- Download bootanimation.zip and put on root of your SD card
- Open RE & navigate to "system/media"
- Select "Mount R/W", then either delete, or move existing bootanimation.zip
- Navigate back to "sdcard", then move bootanimation.zip to "system/media" (AOSP ROMs)
- For Sense ROMs, move it to "/system/customize/resource"
Is Root Explorer a program? Or is it just File Library? or there is another App in the market, just Explorer.
Under File Library, I went to system/media and then it shows my zip file, but what do I do with this.. It doesn't sync with the directions. Also, the other way, was pushboot, which I tried, plugged in my usb cable to my computer and phone, hit the pushboot2 on the computer, couldn't find device. What am I doing wrong? All I want to do is change this bootscreen and possibly a splash screen?? Please help???
Root explorer is an app available from the market...just long press on the new bootanimation.zip,select copy navigate to the correct path for your Rom , rename old bootanimation.zip to bootanination.bak (if you want to keep it) paste in the new file...bada bing bada boom...you're done. What folder you need to navigate depends on which Rom you are using....

having the same problem, moved the old bootanimation.zip to somewhere else, followed directions from last 2 posts (using Root Explorer) and not working...grrrr.
was working before i d/l this new rom...what else should i try?
Edit: had to walk away & then figured it out...thanks
Alright. I need help with this and Google can't help me. I need to recursively (i.e. all of the content in the directory) move an entire folder from Windows to my internal sd-card but no matter what I do, I just can't get it to work.
I now there's a way, somehow.
EDIT: Pitch-in: The sd-card is mounted as /mnt/sdcard/ right?
what about just zipping it? i dont think adb can do that easily
Lets say you have a folder called Wallpapers on your PC use the code below (assumes you copied Wallpapers folder to android-sdk\platform-tools):
Code:
adb push Wallpapers /sdcard/Wallpapers/
If you don't specify the destination folder (Wallpapers) on the sdcard then it will place the contents of the folder on your sdcard. No need for mnt in the destination.
Edit: unsure of how this will behave with subdirectories within the folder you're trying to push. You might have to push each subdirectory separately.

Working for me as I type. I don't know about the sub-directories as I just put everything into one folder and will move them to their new home once they finish transferring. Up until now, I've been moving everything individually. I didn't know you could move folders so this is awesome. Save me a lot of typing lol.

Im stupid.... This is best idea lol, and so obvious...
I just joined the realm of changing roms on my GS3. The thing I am missing now is that awesome whistle notification sound. How can I get this back? Thanks
Download this unzip it and put S_Whistle.ogg in /system/media/audio/notifications with a file explorer, reboot phone and you should have it back.
Download the original ROM from here, extract it, find your whistle, then copy it to the /sdcard/Notifications folder and it should be available for selection.
EDIT : got beaten on this one... but the end result is the same.
Thanks for the links. Got the file but it appears that you cannot write it to the system folder section you specified. I was able to add it to the internal sdcard in the media/audio/notifications
Thanks again

The system folder is write protected, you should be able to change it in your file explorer. Another root is to make the three folders Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications on your sdcard and put the sounds in there and reboot and they should show up.
Hey everybody,

Hey, do you know the background to Linux terminal? make sure you're in the right directory "pwd", and do "ls" to see if your folder you're needing is in there.

Hey thanks for the reply... can u be more detailed in your commands? the commands I used were suppose to pull EVERYTHING for my internal storage. these look like adb shell commands... I used the windows command prompt to pull my files before... after I CD\ to the adb tools folder
anybody have a command line that could tell me what is on my internal storage? everything including hidden folders? like drowsing by directory
PWD will show the directory you're in, and LS will show files and directories within that directory, use CD (change directory) to navigate and make sure you find it. You can use a push command to move the file to your SD Card, and then get them that way onto your PC to back up or just keep them on the SD Card..
