It shows the default sounds it comes with.
Any way I can use my own?

Ringdroid is a good app in the Market for making your own ringtones. You can just use music on your SDcard to make em.

On my SD card I have a folder named 'ringtones', 'notifications' and 'alarms'. I'm guessing you know what I put in there lol. Whatever I put in those folders shows up when selecting ringtones or notifications, alarms, etc.

Because you are in the main contacts screen. You need to go to a SPECIFIC contact to be able to assign a SPECIFIC ringtone.
If you're just trying to change your ringtone for everyone, you can go to settings from the app drawer

VIP Call List?
First, thanks OP for posting this. Seems to work great. Long pressing on a contact brings up options which includes "add to VIP list". When I select it a pop-up says that the contact has been added to the VIP call list. What does this actually do? I didn't notice anything different after adding a few people to it.
you need my favs on your T-Mobile account. they dont offer it anymore ...

Thank you for replying. I have MyFaves on my account. I just never used a MyFaves app. before and I never payed attention to MyFaves because I have an unlimited minutes plan.
If you still have a my faves account.. THEN you need need to get a google voice number.. and put that as one of your faves.. and you will never use your minutes up..
Not true, the new google voice app sets up a new number for each person you call or text.

It was posted sometime back that tmobile has already address that issue and thus fixed it... no more free minutes.
I have myfaves and google voice... I have been trying to do that but the tmobile site will not allow me to edit my myfaves anymore.. need to call them and have them change/edit myfaves over the phone.

This is not the myfaves app we all know.. its just an app that puts contacts you choose together for easy access.. it shares same name as myfaves that you have 5 ppl you can call for free. I extracted the real myfaves apk but will not work on my G2 even though I do have a myfaves account.

You should still be able to get the MyFaves unlimited minutes to contacts through google voice but without using the Voice app. You have to actually call your google voice number and then use the menu to place a call (a pain but should still work).

That's weird because I just Edited my MyFaves on their website last night. I took my Google voice number off and added a different one (on unlimited minutes plan).

I got this last night as I was expecting to only be able to add the five numbers I already had chosen and could clearly add more.
So by any chance does anyone know what the VIP call list feature is or does?
When I looked at the rom I extracted both apks.. one read faves.apk (which is the same one posted here on this thread but has been around the forum for few weeks now) and another apk titled myfaves.apk I tried both and only one worked wich was the faves.apk, the myfaves.apk didn't work and said something about network issue.

so... this is not the myfaves app? ok...cuz i really dont see a need for that app.
Faves is what? like a secondary contacts list of just people you call most/ choose whos on list?

Exactly, just like a secondary contact list. Choose who's on the list, comes with diffrent views to list, thumbnail or coverflow type.

[Q] Contact Card Picture

How do you set your own picture? You know, in the messaging app where it says Me: but has the gray box there? When I was running Sense it grabbed my FB picture, but now it's blank. I tried setting up a contact with my number, email, and full name and it didn't work. I even tried setting the name to Me, still no dice. Anyone found out how to do this? I'm running CM7 right now.
Settings>Call settings>additional settings>set phone number
Then make a contact out of your number then put a picture..
Done..

I just added myself to my contact list because I text myself a lot of reminders and eventually put a pic for my own contact card thing.

Can't get my notification ringtone to change.

Going into my settings, then, sound, then notification, i can't find songs that are on my phone. What am i doing wrong?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
settings, -sound,- notification,- then Android system. Ringtones you've made should be located under there. However when making ringtones how you save em is what they can be used for, meaning once you make a tone and if you save it as ringtone it won't show up, has to be saved under notification ringtone.

Try handcent. Worked on my epic 4g. Or try using whatever app u used to dl ringtones and set it via that app.

Android separates out your media and your notifications/alarms/ringtones so that way your notifications aren't cluttered with 1000 songs and your songs aren't cluttered with ringtones. If you want to use a specific song as a notification, go into a file manager and on your internal sd (not external) follow this path:
media>audio>notifications
and put your song in that folder. If it doesn't exist, create it. This way Android will put that song in with your list of notification sounds. Same goes for alarms and ringtones:
media>audio>alarms
media>audio>ringtones

Using your stock music player, find the song, select menu>set as .... and make your choice ....
Also .... there's an app that is as old as Android on the market that you can use to trim and set ringtones .... ringdroid ..... get it!
When I set my default notification for some reason when I turn off my phone or restart it the notification sound changes to what I changed it from. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8

Jelly time question

Tried to post in the relevant thread but didn't realize I need 10 posts. What I would like to know is how do i set separate tones for sms and notifications? I'm sure I was able to in previous versions/roms. If somebody could repost this in the jelly time thread would be much appreciated.

You probably need to go into the settings of the SMS application you use. If that doesn't solve anything try using GO SMS from the store. It's free and it's a speedy sms app that lets you customize a lot. You can have your own sms notif separate from the system.
mount your phone as a drive and you will see foldrrs - ringtones --- notifications ----- drop your sounds in them -- unmount restart then wander in sound settings
There is nothing in the settings menu of jelly time.. So by the sounds of it a messaging app is my only option

mount your sdcard to show folders - did it this aft on JT12
menu - sys settings - device - sound - ringtone [select] - default notification [select]

figured it out, had to assign sms its own ring time through the settings menu of the actaul message interface. Can you tell me the difference between "JellyBean - JELLYTIME for DHD/Inspire4g" (which I am currently using) and "UnOfficial AOKP JellyBean Nightlies"??
About the jellytime rom i amnot trying to complain or affend rb :goodi know he works very hard and has a family to take care of but people on the the development say that it is super buttery smooth but there is still some work to be done to the smoothness of it i cant wait till he gets triple buffering completely working
