Does anyone know a way of pulling in the default ringtones that come with the stock inc 2 into cyanogenmod? I got used to the tones available and would like to use them, but cannot seem to find a way of backing them up and importing them.
Thanks!

I'm trying to flash a ROM that'll take me from 2.1 to 2.2
I've looked around for a way to be able to flash a ROM while still keeping your messages intact, but I haven't been able to do it. I've been able to specifically restore SMS data with Titanium after flashing, but sadly this makes the messaging service force close whenever I try to use it.
Anyone know of a working way to keep your messages after wiping to flash a ROM? I find it annoying to have to look at an empty inbox every time after flashing a ROM and plus, I'm kinda nostalgic. Any help would be nice.
I recall my backup pro, yet I have noticed that the ROMs based of the stock are able to restore, there is a folder on the SDCARD called Backup which I think contain the settings and messages it restores during initial setup, there also is a application called setup on those ROMs have not tried yet what if you flash rosie, launcher2, and the setup just to see if it works (not setting it as the default launcher of course or just after setup if you are not able to use home screen rm files using adb)
Since flashing the new JB MIUI, I have been unable to change to notification tone to a custom one.
Searching I came up with putting the file I want into the system notification tone bin, which didn't work.
Also saw somebody said the owner had no permissions, I am unaware on how to give the owner permissions.
When putting the tone in the system media notification bin , I get a tone unselected. I tried selecting the tone in theme manger mix and that didn't do anything either.

Yeah I went to put the custom files into the system, and it said I didn't have access. Flipped out at first, having a custom ROM w/o system rights. Might have to do with the root access setting (in settings) gonna mess around with it. I have a different phone (HTC One X, but the solution should be similar) For facebook messages and emails, custom works. But no matter what I do, I can't get sms noise to change. Still gonna try out a few more things I'll let you know if I figure something out.
Thanks to this site I now have a rooted Wildfire S which I have added Link2sd and partitioned the SD card to put my apps on.
I have downloaded a separate message app and am wanting another music player. Although I have looked through other posts I can't seem to find a definitive list other than the advice of freezing apps for a while first before deleting
Can anyone tell me if it is safe to delete these once a replacement has been downloaded or would I be better of using another (more streamlined) ROM and adding the things I want then?
Any help and advice muchly appreciated!

Yes you can replace it with other downloaded softwares, as an advice, backup the stock software, install the replacement software you want like Go Sms Pro replacement for stock sms software and uninstall the stock one, sms and mms will now handled by Go Sms, if not then reinstall the stock one, I've once done that sms thing on my wildfire s without any problem.
Make sure backup the stock one which you want in replacement with others..
All I can say is look through system/app/ and see what looks okay 4 u.
You can just freeze the unwanted apps with Titanium Backup,
The way i tried is to make a full back up then change/modify/delete bits and bobs to be replaced eg. Standard messaging with handcent, android keyboard with swiftkey3, htc lock screen with magic locker and gallery with quckpic. Restart the phone and see if it works. In theory as long as you dont delete actual operating apps you should be fine sorry there isnt a definite answer.. Oh and i found sometimes freezing didnt work, you actually need to delete them
Ok, Im running shiny 4.2.2 (stock based rom), I just recently flash this one and I remember the Rom I was running before had a direct dial feature in the phone settings along with all the other advanced settings. Now this is what I've been doing for the past 2 days, downloading every Rom I could think of that I ran on a desktop, extracting the system/apps and installing Contacts.apk, ContactsProviders.apk and Phone.apk of course being on a stock based rom some worked some didn't. I know that RootBox has a mms.apk that has a direct dial feature built into the settings, so I'm thinking maybe it was rootbox that had that same thing in the phone settings, but when I try and install those 3 apk's that I need I get force closes everywhere ( android.process.acore) most of all and I have to resore a nandroid. Does anyone have any instight on what I could do or if it's even possible to get it to work with shiny rom?
The original contacts app
I had kind of the same problem. That error is shown when you don't have any app which can handle contacts and hence it takes down the whole package down including messaging, calling, etc. I tried the same extracting and attempting to install. It doesn't happen. The only thing that worked for me was titanium backup. I had the contacts backup there. I restored it with it data and things are A-okay.
Can someone tell me what i need to be backing up with titanium backup to preserve home screen icon locations, bluetooth device pairings, sound settings and wifi settings? Well i guess i actually need to know what the names are to restore these items, i already have them backed up. When installing new roms these are the items i would like to restore. I was thinking these items should be the same no matter what sense 6 rom correct? I'm hoping i can restore just these setting without having to worry about messing things up by restoring system data to a different rom/base. Or if anyone knows a better way to backup/restore these items i would like to hear about it. Thanks.

Thanks jay, would this work restoring to a different rom base? you know how the devs preach dont restore system data..., trying to just get the few important things to me restored (and not the rest of the system data that might hurt the rom)
