Does anyone have the default SMS notification sound? I flashed a new rom and it doesn't have it. Thanks!
I have it somewhere on the sd card but honestly, I forgot what it sounded like and the name of it. Was it "notice me"? I can't help you at this moment because the phone won't let me upload. The only other thing I could think of if nobody else comes through for you is to do a COMPLETE nandroid backup in recovery, reinstall the previous rom, find the sounds and copy them to your card. Then go back into recovery and restore the full nandroid backup.
Or another way is to extract the rom zip file on the sd card or computer and then look in system/media/audio of the extracted zip and that's where they are at. Put them in (make these directories if you don't already have them) /sdcard/media/audio/notifications. After a reboot, they "should" show up in the place to change notifications. If that doesn't work the program called "aring" should set things up for you. I think you still might need a reboot. Sorry I couldn't be more help, I'm at work now.

That's fine. That's help enough. Thanks again.
extract not flash
Like I said, make new folders on the sdcard media/audio/notifications
unzip file(s)
put files into the directory above
reboot
phone should see them now
I think the sound you wanted was little, here's all the original notification sounds anyways
And if you act right now, we'll throw in a bonus gift!

If I remember correctly you simply put a folder called "SDCard" in your working folder. From there anything your put in that folder will be put on the SDCard when it's flashed.
Thanks figured it out...
you need that, but then you have to do some editing in the updater script to make it all work right...
I switch roms constantly on my phone and the most annoying part of that is having to every time enter my gmail, facebook, twitter and other information that never changes... Is there anyway to make a FLASHABLE update.zip that I can just install after a rom flash? Out would even be better if I can put certain applications in there too. Like my Angry Birds, Rom Manager, and Titanium Backup. You know just the apps that no matter what rom I use I always have to reinstall. This would save me and whoever find themselves in this situation alot of time when it comes to experimenting with different Roms. Please help!

I don't know about login information but you can make an update.zip with miscellaneous apps that you don't want to re-download. It's kind of a pain (personal opinion) to make an update.zip but here are some directions:
1. Create a folder, we'll call it "update".
2. Inside "update" make two new folders called "META-INF" (without the quotes and capitalized) and "data" (also without quotes).
3. Inside "META-INF" create a folder called "com".
4. Inside "com" create a folder called "google".
5. Inside "google" create a folder called "android".
6. Close the folders you have open and re-open "update".
7. Open "data" and create a folder called "app".
8. Add the .apk files you want to flash to "data/app".
9. I've attached a few files to the post, unzip "secFiles.zip" and put "CERT.RSA", "CERT.SF", and "MANIFEST.MF" into your "update/META-INF" folder.
10. Also attached is "script.zip". Unzip this and add the "updater-script" and "update-binary" to "update/META-INF/com/google/android".
11. Now that you have the folder structuring complete you can zip it all up. When you zip it, make sure you zip "data" and "META-INF" NOT "update". You will have errors if you zip "update"!
12. If you have ClockworkMod Recovery you do not need to sign it. If not then I recommend making a nandroid backup and copying it to your computer so that your WiMax (4G) keys are backed up, then switching to ClockworkMod Recovery.
13. Make a nandroid backup anyways! Don't come calling me if you're phone messes up. I do not believe there to be anything wrong in my directions but I can't afford to fix you're phone.
14. Flash away! Hopefully it worked. I'll try to elaborate if you're confused.
Thank you so Much! but thats just half the equation... Titanium Backup has a way to backup and restore the Accounts and Sync data which is what the goal is here... im thinking about finding a way to extract that and put it into a flashable zip. Im learning alot about the android structure and it might now be long until i unintentionally solve this myself
You could add Titanium Backup to your flashable zip and have it preinstalled as well as your backup wherever it belongs. (Sorry, don't use Titanium Backup)
Or another idea to try out, if you have Clockwork Recovery you can restore just the data partition. I'd be careful of doing it but if you're in the mood to experiment I think it might do what you're looking for. Note that you'll have to have a data.img nandroid backup of everything you want. If you manage to figure it out please share because I hate typing my ridiculously long passwords every time I flash a new rom.
you can make a flashable zip for titanium. from the app, press menu > more > create update.zip
this option gives you an option to create a signed zip file (you need a free app from the market called zip signer) that will install titanium as either a user or system file
It would be great to know how to create a update.zip of the titanium backups and that way, it would include +data
Anyone know how to do that?

I've learned to mount while in recovery and put a ROM in the root folder, but when i go to "flash zip from sdcard" i can't select anything?
Was there something i forgot? I see that the ROM is a img file, do i mount it and extract the files within it and then put those into the root folder? (Just tried it, and nothing happens when i mount the img?)
Are there other things i have to do all over again b4 i can even flash a rom?
*I wiped everything b/c i was trying to re-flash the rom i had in order to see if that would solve my Wi-Fi problems.
It needs to be a zip file in order to flash through recovery.
So how do i get it to be a zip file instead of img?
Hmm i assume i need to download winzip then?
Got WinZip, put the rom back in the root folder as a zip file, still nothing showing up.
Jut redownload the rom from wherever u got it from. Make sure its a zip file then try that

Wow, this whole time i've been extracting the downloaded file and then putting the files into the root folder. I'm supposed to just put the downloaded zip directly into the root huh?
Lets see if it works now.
Ugh, okay. Got it to work. Installed new ROM. But, the reason i tried all of this was b/c my Wi-Fi was not working. It still isn't.
Well that totally depends on the rom. Some custom Rom's might not have wifi set up yet, which does seem strange because that is a basic. But go over the simple things first such as :Is wifi enabled. I know it sounds stupid but it could be a fix lol!
On my old Magic, I was running CM6 and I thought CWM - but I don't remember now, I'm thinking possibly it was another recovery, because I had the ability then to name my backup files before starting the backup, so I could give them more meaningful names than just the date.
Can I rename my backup files on my SD card? Just use Astro for this, or what?
Or will this cause CWM to no longer see the files as valid backup files?
Additionally, I had been rooted prior on GB - now that I'm on ICS, I'm not sure I want those on my SD card in the (hopefully) unlikely event that I accidentally pick one of those nandroids to restore when I meant to restore back to a prior ICS version. Seems like there could be risk of bricking my phone, so can I copy and delete these off my phone?
Is it as simple as knowing where to look on the SD card and using Astro to rename them, or Kies (or Windows) to move them/delete them?
I dont think you can do that because then it will give you an MD5 mismatch. I think in the new version of TWRP recovery coming out, you can name and rename backups though.

You can rename them as long as you don't put any spaces when you rename it. For example - blazer 4.1 gb- would not work you would have to us blazer.4.1.gb and it would work fine.

There's your answer then.
okay guys this is my first android phone,first time rooting, first time for all of it basically.
i have a galaxy s3 i747m that i managed to root already. now i downloaded a ROM that i want and using android file exchange( I AM ON A MAC MAYBE MY PROBLEM?)
so i found the file on my mac,opended file exchange,put the file on my SD card.
now when i go into ROM manager i go to "install ROM from SD card" but it shows me everything thats on my phone not my SD card....i looked everywhere but the file is not there and i cant figure out why its doing this.
so i thought maybe if i save it to my phone i can find it,so i did that and i found the ROM file, but now when i open the file it just shows me
META-INF/ and system/ but on my computer it shows me something called BOOT.IMG.
im guessing this is the part of the file i need since nothing else works?
let me know guys im stuck, and sorry for the long post.
thanks guys!

DON'T touch this boot.img you taklking about.
Can you cannect phone by USB to your mac? ( sorry i'm PC guy). If you do just go open your phone with explorer in you mac then create folder on SD card "ROMS" in example , copy downloaded rom from your mac to phone this way you will know where it is. Now if you did not install CWM (clockwork mod recovery) install one from Rom Manager and reboot in it. Choose install from card and find roms folder you created and rom you copied in to folder choose this rom. Now follow instruction.
BTW. Before you start flashing roms READ more anthill you sure you know how is done for 100%. There are so many info how this should be done. READ this first :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839 Twice if you have to.
Good luck
