lol i had one of these and i basically traded it for a vibrant(long story), anywho i fell in love with the full court ringtone... is there any way this can be taken from the phone, like from a zip of the system or smthn like that?
If you're lucky enough to have a flashable zipped ROM of the "host" phone, you can open it up and copy out the ringtones. They're stored in /system/media/audio. Also, if the phone is rooted and you have access to the /system directory, you can copy them to the sd card and transfer over USB to your computer.
No longer have access to the phone, I really love that ringtone, I kno someone here is rooted with access to sys files... Maybe they could throw me a bone

Check the ROM bible in the dev section and see if you can find a stock rom to download. It should have the tone you want.

Hi All,
I've taken a look around and can't seem to find anything relating to this so I'm gona ask.
I've just got my DHD and love it but I have never used Android before so it's taking some getting used to. ( I'll get there I'm sure )
My question is I have an MP3 file I'd like to use for my notifications ( comes from my HTC Touch HD ) but for the life of me I can't seem to put it in the media folder that the DHD uses. I can find it using the ES file search thing but it won't let me copy in to it?
Do I need to get admin rights? Rooting or whatever its called?
Sorry if it's a daft question. but its annoying the bejesus outa me.
Thanks in advance
JD
I think you have got to place the mp3 in a folder on the root of your sdcard called "notifications".
Hope that works!
Hi CD993,
Thanks for the reply but..
I can't find any folders on the sdcard other than the ones i've made from having it in my Touch HD.
I can however find the Notifications folder in audio on the phones memory. This has all the MP3's that the phone uses. But still I can't paste to it. Just says copy failed.
I'm just wondering if I need to "jailbreak it" or root....something something to be able to add to the root folders.
put your phone in settings,connect to pc,select disc drive now your computer willl see your sdcard as a drive look at your my computer and either go into my mobile at the bottom or go into the sdcard on my computer it comes up as Idrive as copy your mp3 file into your mobile here disconnect your mobile and search for it in your mp3 files through your media music app.you may have to reboot your mobile once disconnected from the computer so the file gets noticed.
if this is not what your looking for then sorry but I dunno.
Hi Magpie,
Thanks but no.
I already have the MP3 on the sdcard but I can't seem to copy it to the system/media/audio/notifications. This is where the phone reads the sounds that it plays when you receive email/txt etc.
Maybe I should just flash a new ROM although this appears harder than it is with the touch HD on winmo lol
Thanks for the reply anyways
JD
Edit:
I've since managed to Root the phone "give me root admin rights" but still am unable to copy files to the phones root folders.
Im sure you just put the mp3's in a folder on your sdcard called notifications e.g. sdcard/notifications/ringtone.mp3

Hi CD993,
Maybe there is a problem with my sdcard? I don't have such a folder on it. I have a music folder data folders google folders I've looked through them all and can't find a notifications folder on the sdcard?
Should the DHD be using the sdcard as its main source for audio etc?
SdCard/Sounds/Notifications
SdCard/Sounds/Alarms
SdCard/Sounds/Ringtones
SdCard/Sounds/UI
Make the folders as you need them. Then you will be able to find them in the Sounds tab in the menu.

If you have root access you should be able to write them to the main memory using a program like Root Explorer. You can find system sounds in /System/Media/Audio.

Flashing Android ROMs is so much easier than WM. It's getting the root that is the *****. It took me ages to work out how to install the ADB drivers when I first got my Desire.
Flashing ROM's just replaces two folders, so if you are updating from one AOSP ROM to another, maybe even Sense I don't know I don't use it, generally speaking you don't need to wipe the phone and you keep all of your apps.

Hi Kal,
Yes as far as I'm aware I have root perms. i used VISIOnary? and followed a thread on here When I open cmd promt or whatever its called on linux and type su it gives me the # which apparantly means i have rooted it?
Yet I was unable to copy to that folder on the phones main memory.
That ADB driver I'm afraid i've not even looked into it yet all I know is my win 7 failed to install it when I plugged the phone in for the first time.
I've gotten as far as using titanium back up for apps etc. Just need to do some more research I guess I'm new to android
anyway thanks for all your help people. i'm sure i'll have more questions in the appropriate threads as time goes by. Thanks all

Personal Audio Files for Yahoo! Mail
Everything you all have said works, if I put something in mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications I am able to then see the files under the Sounds Setting.
My issue is needing Yahoo Mail to see the notification. For that I need to copy the files to /system/media/audio/notification and for that I am not able to change the permissions. I have tried ES File Explorer and I am not even able to move up from sdcard. I have also tried total commander and I get "Error writing to target file! /system/media/audio/notifications/yahoo.mp3
Can someone please help. I really like the Yahoo! application.
Setting Yahoo Notification
Root explorer will allow you to change the directory from Read Only to Read Write. It can be purchased from Play (Market) or acquired by other means as I did.
Copy the file to /system/media/audio/notification using root explorer.
Reboot.
Tada...
Hey guys, i was wondering if i can get any help with something i've been trying to work on. I recently bought an EVO for 50 bucks practically brand new, i had it flashed to metroPCS. I should've check this before leaving the store but apparently the HTC Wallpapers that came on the phone were erased. I've been able to dowload the wallpapers through forums. Now here is where i need help! I want to upload the wallpapers on my phone so that they appear in the original location, so as if never removed. I'm very new at this. Can anyone help?
I will gladly help you with this. The original wallpapers are filed away under /system/customize/resource and their formats are HTC_wallpaper_01.jpg and so on. To move your wallpapers there or any wallpapers simply do these command lines:
1. Adb remount
2. Adb push [yourwallpaper].jpg /system/customize/resource
An alternative would be to use root explorer. Copy files then navigate to s/c/resource then paste. Anyhow you need root to do this. Hope that helps.

Thanks I don't know much about rooting the phone, and honesty I'm kind of scared of ruining the phone. I downloaded an app called astro file manager from the market. I was wondering if maybe with this app I would be able to upload the wallpapers to my SD card and then move them into system/customize/resource, or is their another folder they must go in. Thank you for your help.
Astro is a nice app but unfortunately it cannot edit system files - only files on your sdcard can be edited with it. Is your phone rooted? Rooting it will not break it but instead open up great options. The only way to modify system files ie system/customize/resource is to be rooted. I can help you with that if you'd like. Once rooted you can use root explorer (root version of astro) to move said wallpapers. But most roms will include stock wallpaper.
A walkthrough would be great!!!! I am not so sure if the phone is rooted, I thought maybe the phone was rooted when it was flashed over to metroPCS. If you can and don't mind if you can walk me through it i'll go ahead and give it a shot. Once again thanks for your time and help.
Is it possible to transfer wallpapers from one rom to another? some roms have really nice wallpapers but aren't that great while others are awesome but don't have good wallpapers.
I dont see why you couldnt pull them out with root explorer and move them into your sd card. Then when u flash new rom put them in media file folder where other ones are.

that method sounds ideal but I've searched almost all the phone files and I couldn't find them. If by any chance you're using the stock gingerbread rom you could help me look?
You need root explorer (which you need to buy) on market. You open app n go down to rom zip currently installed. Then go to System folder, Apps folder, and look for Cm wallpaper Apk. file. At this point extract them to root of sd card and bingo bango there u go holmes. As long as you have multiple roms on sd card, you can just go into each one and repeat till u got what u want
meXdroidMod meXperia rom
theres only cmparts.apk :/
Dl rom you want on comp, dl rom with wp you like on comp. Open zips. Drag wp to rom you want, put on SD, flash. There's your walls. Or be easy and add to wp folder on your sd

Hi every, I've downloaded several ringtones using Zedge application as yours should notice in the img1.png attached. I'm trying to change the default tone using one of this and can't see them. Where I should place them in the internal storage (see img2.png)?

Wrong section. Your post is supposed to be in "Q & A" section.
You just need to create a folder "Ringtones" in the internal SD card. Then copy your ringtones to this folder.

You could also put in the system folder if you have root access. I currently have the Skyrocket so this solution might not work for you. I put my .ogg file in /system/media/audio/ and then into the proper sub directory either /alarms /notifications or /ringtones. Then rebooted my system and I could assign them properly. Actually the first suggestion worked for me as well, but I just like having all my files in the same place. So it might work or it might not... i can't say for sure. I subscribe to the nexus development because g/f's mom who has the nexus and likes slim rom a lot.

Nice I'll try your solution later because I need to install some kind of Root Explorer and I've in my PC at home as for the first solution could not work due to .mp3 extension? I'm on GNex ROM 1.9.0 with 4.1.1

Yeah I think that the .ogg will work for sure. I just used root explorer the app to find out what my other ringtones were and then converted the ringtone to that file.
You have to put your ringtones in a folder called "Ringtones". Not just in the internal SD card.

I have a few mp3's and ringtones I got from zedge as well and I couldn't see them at first - you just need to let the mediascanner find them. A reboot will force the phone's mediascanner to do so, or it'll find them on its own in a little bit.

Ringtone/mp3 files will not be available as ringtones unless they are in the ringtones folder. Rebooting the phone won't change that, at least not with the stock ROM.

One reason to NOT put custom ring tones in the /system/media/audio/ringtones folder is that if you wipe your system (to change ROM's, for example), is that the system wipe would then also wipe your custom ringtones. However, if you place them in the Ringtones folder on your sdcard, that doesn't get wiped, and you'll be able to use the ringtones right away after flashing a new ROM, and you won't have to re-copy them onto your phone.

The post before mine had already ascertained which folder to put them in, I was just adding that to force a mediascan of that folder a reboot would do the trick. Sorry for any confusion
install es file explorer on to your phone.
When you want to select a new ringtone, the phone will ask you to either select a "system tone" or "select a file" (using the file explorer)
then you just navigate to the sound file no matter what folder you stored it in (on your sd)
So with a lot people running custom AOSP/AOKP/CMx ROMS I noticed the last couple days that some may want the stock sounds back. So I have extracted the sounds from a stock ROM and zipped them up.
Instructions 1- download the zip you want
2- unzip with winrar or 7zip, direct download straight to phone most file explorers should unzip
3- move files to phone sd card
4- use a file explorer app to move wanted sound to /system/media/audio and then copy into appropriate folder there
5- reboot phone and the new sound should be available
I have just done the AT&T stock sounds but comparing them to Bell and Rogers they are the same so don't be worried about the file name, they are all titled AT&T just to keep things straight on my own computer.
Ringtones
Notifications
Alarms
Edit--> you should also be able to create the three folders(or whichever you need) on your internal/external SD card and move sounds into those and reboot and they should also show up. /system is write protected by default so if you don't know how to change that then use this method.

This are flashable in CWM zip in HERE
Didn't know that was there guess I should have searched but I didn't because I didn't remember seeing it and I'm here several times a day, and this way people can pick and choose what they want and delete the rest.
BTW--> great work on the splash screens....got a new one almost every day :thumbup:
No I did not see them too that why I made flashable zip.
BTW. I'm trying add one splash screen a day. Thanks for kind words

Just FYI, in my experience the ringtones/notifications (and maybe alarms?) don't need to be anywhere in particular. I keep all mine on my external MicroSD card and the phone automatically picks them up and adds them to my choices for ringitnes/notifications. No flashable zip needed. Just copy & paste.
Lols yup the beauty of android, ten different ways to do almost everything. I was just presenting these in an organized way to help people who aren't sure or are not used to exploring files on their phone keep things straight and organized.
