Hey guys,
Before rooting, I could get all my audio files to show up whenever I wanted to use on for a contact's ringtone, or a notification or anything. Now, I can't see them. Am I supposed to put them somewhere so the phone will detect them?
Also, I'm wondering why the ROMS for 2.2 Froyo on the mt3gs have ADW launcher on them. Is that because we don't have an official T-Mobile or HTC Sense launcher yet? Or am I totally off with what I'm saying?

You can still select your songs as your ringtone. You just need to go to you music app and select it as such through there. I personally use ringdroid and that makes my song clip a ringtone to be bundled with the ringtones available.
and yes, there isnt a sense launcher 2.2 yet so therefore it can not be included in a mts rom. There are other home launchers you can use however.

I just tried to go to individual songs and it only allows me to set them as the the phone's ringtone but not as contact specific ringtones.
I'm on the cyanogen ROM, if it matters.

Go to said Contact, Press menu, options, ringtone.
It doesn't show MY tracks that I put on the SD card. It only gives me the default track as an option.
Could this be a bug in the ROM?? I gotta be able to use my tracks for different people. Where should I put the tracks?
Oh, ok. You want each contact to have a diff ringtone. Download ringdroid from market and make your ringtones there. The newly made ringtones will appear with the default.

Ok, cool, I'll try that. I just found it so weird that it was so simple on 2.1 but now with the 2.2 ROM it doesn't seem to work. I'll try ringdroid. I was thinking it might work if I copied the ringers I have into the folder on the phone that holds all the stock ringers. Thought maybe that might work. I like to try to run things with as few apps as possible to help the battery.
Thanks!

That'd definitely work. Push them to system/media/audio/ringtones
Hmm, weird...
Astro won't let me paste or move to the phone. Any ideas?
Use adb to put the files there. None of the root explorer apps ever worked for me.
Any idea where I can get commands to do that kind of copying? I have no idea how to use adb other than the instructions in rooting.

Yup.
In android terminal emulator/adb shell run this command:
Code:
setprop media.stagefright.player-enable false
You can also add the same setting (obviously without the setprop command and formatted correctly) to your build.prop and not have to set this every boot.
Works in pretty much any ROM to achieve better streamed audio quality.
Stagefright currently is broken real good and even companies like LG are now shipping their phones with it disabled.
Hopefully HTC gets on the ball and disables it in an OTA, or pushes Google to fix the issue.

+1, but you have to redo it every time you reboot your phone.
The permanent way:
Code:
abd remount
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\Android\tools
If your SDK tools are somewhere else, then change my C:\Android\tools accordingly. It sometimes doesn't work if you pull it/push it from somewhere else.
Now open it with notepad, look for media.stagefright.enable-player=true and change it to media.stagefright.enable-player=false
Save it without any changes to the file name
Then,
Code:
adb remount
adb push C:\Android\tools\build.prop /system/build.prop
adb reboot

You might also want to try this method. Obviously taking NO credit for this but I used it for a while and it is very easy to do.
What it does is creates two different icons you can put on any screen to enable or disable Stagefright. For some reason, my Pandora streams are now very clear without it, but I really didn't try it too much in Warm Z and now back to stay for a while on RLS5. Give it try and let us know if it works.

If I don't care for a particular feature in a rom can the libs be removed? Say for instance, if I don't care about camera can I remove any libs related without breaking dialer?
I guess I'm asking are libs connected or independent to one hardware?
sent from my evo probably at work, probably on the clock.
Good question. What you can probably do, is using say, Root Explorer, toggle R/O then long press the file, and move it out of the lib folder, then reboot and see what happens. If anything goes wrong, you can move it back, that way.
Hmm. Would renaming it adding. Bak to the end do the same thing? Thanks for the reply, it just a little project I'm working on and have only a few minutes here and there to spend on it. That should help alot!

On second thought, I like your idea better becouse I can multi select them and move alot faster than renaming them.

I can't seem to use custom/nonstock ringtones for notifications on ei22. Before on ec05 I had a folder on my sdcard that had them all and it worked but no go now. Theb only thing I can think of is that ei22 doesn't support mp3 tones because I even tried placing it in the notification folder within the system.
I did search but every thread is to disable it lol
Works fine for me. I click notification sound in settings>sound and all my ringtones pop up in the list and work fine. Maybe you need the sounds in the ringtone folder.

So for some reason I can use MP3 for ringtones but not notifications. In order for me to use custom notifications they need to be OGG, ei22 doesn't like MP3's for some odd reason
By the way I am using CleanGB rom so maybe its that if everyone else is able to use MP3's.
EDIT:
Spoke to soon, I can now see it under notifications but it doesn't play it

I'm on Legendary and have no problem using MP3s in my ringtone folder. Try converting it to M4A file. Maybe there is a file you are missing since CleanGB has a lot of bloat removed.
As wack as this may sound, if you truly can't find a resolution...ringdroid supports mp3 notifications.

Thanks, I was not able to find an option to change it manually but I downloaded the Zedge app and it allowed me to choose a notification that it had (same one I had).

For the ringtones just put it in the /System/Media/Audio folder of ringtones.
I replaced the UI sounds and rebooted but I get that paper ripping sound when clicking on things (old android sound) and I was hoping I was going to get that water ripple sound like the S III...
Update: I fixed it. It seems the nice bubble sound was a notification sound and not a UI sound. I found that weird because in the SGS III reviews you would hear a bubble sound with every press on the screen (those are usually the Effect_Tick.ogg) which are UI sounds. Anyways, I just renamed the bubble notification sound as Effec_Tick and override it in the UI sounds using Root Explorer. Now I have my bubble sound.
link isn't working.
The link is working...and thanks...will try and install it on my Play... Was always a Galaxy Fan, cannot wait for S3...in my hands...
I've downloaded the media file (.rar file) and put it on my Nexus S but can't seem to get it to work? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

More ringtones?! w00t!
so I went ahead and put the folders alarms,notifications and ringtones under the directory sdcard/media/audio and everthing is fine. I have all the notification sounds as well as alarm sounds and ringtones...
now for the UI files I went ahead and used root explorer and went to system/media/audio and copied my original ui folder and then replaced it with the new one...I have the unlock sound and lock sound working fine as well as the camera snapshot sound and a few others...i think. the touch sounds are the same and i noticed that there are files named keyPressspacebar, poweron and tw_volume_control. I do not hear these sounds when i perform the action on my phone...any reason why? other than that I cant complain and thanks for sharing!

Original permissions
Hey, guys. What I did was went into the /system/media/audio and I moved the 4 folders (alarm, notification, ringtones, and ui) onto my Sd card just incase something bad happened. And then I moved the new versions. I set the audio folders permission to rw- r-- r--. and I left the 4 folders permissions alone. Was I supposed to change each folders permission? And if any one knows, what are the original permissions for the folders, thanks, because now, my ringtones are not working. Thanks
awesome, you hit the spot. thanks

Oye Boriqua!how to instali the different media pack tha my device can recognize?
thank you
Is the Galaxy Nexus .ogg files compatible with ringtones etc.?
Or do i need to convert it to mp3?
Why do i have to copy the ringtones, alarms etc.. into the "SYSTEM" folder on Samsung phones?
On the sdcard there is a folder called media and audio.
Should work on this folder too i think?!
Or is the Galaxy Nexus not "Samsung" like?
thanks!
Do you know how to extract mp3 files out of youtube videos?
the only thing I found to make ringtones was this here, but it must work when you do it first as a exe file. good luck!
Thanks for sharing.
What is the system default ringtone of SGS3 (like SGS2 had "Mirage of you")?
