HTC Magic Ringtones & Alarms

I rooted my HTC Magic today and I loaded the RAv1.1.0 custom rom. Its a great rom, but the ringtones are a bit boring and i really liked the htc ones. So i extracted the files from a Hero ROM and pushed it to my phone.
If anyone wants these media files, i have packaged them toagther and made a small python script to install it automatically for you, you just need to run just run push.py file.
Let me know how it goes, it works great for me
Cheers
spatali
PS: Reboot the system after running the script. Otherwise they wont show up until next reboot
Tutorial & .bat (for windows) by TikiiTorch
For people who don't have python install in Windows
1) extract the above .zip file into your "android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools\" directory (wherever that might be)
2) get on your command line and cd to the "htc_media" directory you just created.
3) enter the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push alarms /system/media/audio/alarms/
adb push ringtones /system/media/audio/rigntones/
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or use push.bat in the zip

No it doesnt.. just click the request ticket link above the file... then do the same when it changes to download.

Thanks
Flashed the Drizzy TF3D rom and was seriously missing the stock notifications.
Thanks for tracking this down and sharing!

Any idea why now under ringtones it list every ring tone twice, yet there is only one copy of each file in the directory?
thanks
Okay never mind, I deleted them, rebooted, copied them back, rebooted and now only one is showing up. That was very strange.

So how does one go about installing these ringtones to the phone? A myTouch 3G specifically using Cyanogen's 4.0.1 ROM. I guess I'm a little confused as fas as running the python script itself....any help would be absolutely appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Im guessing you are on windows without python installed, so you will want to:
1) extract the above .zip file into your "android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools\" directory (wherever that might be)
2) get on your command line and cd to the "htc_media" directory you just created.
3) enter the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push alarms /system/media/audio/alarms/
adb push ringtones /system/media/audio/rigntones/
adb reboot
OR Download this zip (same as spatali's above but with my .bat file included) and double click the push.bat file thats in there.
Let me know...

@TikiiTorch this is great, i'll include your tut and .bat file in the first post
ps: I dint know push command works for entire folder ^^

i'm not an expert, but isn't the reboot commando:
Code:
adb shell reboot

Ringtones on sdcard
There is an easier way
Just create on your sdcard a "media\audio" folder and copy into it notifications, ringtones and alarms folder.
Disconnet your phone from the pc and new medias will be detected automatically

But with this method, don't those files remain on the SDCard rather then becoming part of the system?

You're right, the files remains on the sdcard but it doesn't really matters as they are detected and used automatically, the same way as if they are part of the system

how do i get on my "htc_media" directory i just created

if using SUFBS with root and mounting system RW, does it not write to system when copying file from sdcard folder to system/media/notifications?

Yes, it would indeed move them there if you used the above method.

Guys which is the easiest method now ? I'll update the first post accordingly

The easiest way, obviously would be to just put these files onto your SD and let the device recognize them.
If you want to properly replace these ringtones onto a ROM that does not have them, then what you have posted is the correct way.

Flash in recovery mode? where did you read that you have to flash it? They clearly said to push it to the resource folder in the system.
Go back and read well please

could you point me to the thread. Thanks

Here is what you need to do:
Turn on USB Debug in your phone
Place the bootanimation.zip in your sdk/tools folder
CMD to your sdk/tools and do the commands:
1. adb devices - make sure your phone appears in the cmd window
2. adb remount
3. adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
4. adb reboot

where did you find the boot animation.zip..colnd't find that one

Followed those steps but for some reason the custom boot didn't load. I'm using Fresh's latest ROM and I still see his splash screen. Followed directions to a T.

The bootanimation is in /system/media on Fresh.

As a side note/favor. Where did you find that animation? I'd like to check it out.

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. Some are already set up as a flashable zip you can flash in recovery. You can search through the Themes and Apps sections for others, but I use this way:
Be sure to have the Android SDK installed on your computer.
Download, and place the bootanimation.zip file in the TOOLS folder of the SDK.
Then the following ADB CODE:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
You're all set!
If there is no corresponding mp3 file, no need for the 3rd command line

wouldn't that location be different depending on if it's a sense or aosp rom?

That I am not sure of, as I have always used sense based ROMS for the 4gees.
I know that Pushboot has a separate batch file for CM6, so I am fairly sure that there is a different dir.

Root Explorer works well for me when ADB is not available.
Just download, rename appropriately, and move to /system/customize/resource (or wherever your ROM stores these things).

That's what I did way back when. I ran a search in astro for bootanimation.zip first (to find the old one that I was replacing), because I didn't know where to move it to back then.

and adb push ... : Read-only file
any other ideas?

Erm.. you need to download android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
then use terminal(on PC), navigate to your <sdk folder>\platform-tools
and use those commands..
I tried to create an update.zip for u.. doesn't work
Can you give me the backup framework-res.apk?

Change bootanimation on any phone (NO ROOT REQUIRED)

Hello all,
This happens to be my first post. This is about changing the boot animation without having the root access to your phone/tablet.
First of all you need to have a bootanimation.zip ready with you that suits your phone's resolution.
Instructions for changing bootanimation:
1. You will need android SDK installed on your PC. For those who do not know what it is, Download android SDK and extract to some folder.
2. Open command prompt and navigate to the folder having adb.exe (previously extracted folder.)
3. Place bootanimation.zip in the same folder.
3. Type the following command:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
4. DONE.
5. To preview the bootanimation, enter this command:
adb shell bootanimation
Do not forget to hit Thanks if it worked for you

In Sense ROM (no rooted phone) bootanimation is in the folder system/customize/resources ...
