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.
hello everyone...i'm coming from an HTC Evo 3D and just recently got the Epic 4G Touch. My little dilemma is that the phone won't read some things on my SD Card. for example it wont read backups i have saved for some certain*apps and it wont read my docs2go files. they show up when i plug my phone to my computer but not on the phone when its disconnected. i've formatted the SD Card mounted and unmounted and still nothing. My documents show up in the Polaris app though just not in my docs2go. Any ideas?
I'm also new to this whole internal/external sd card thing as well. What I see is that certain apps wont automatically read files located higher than /sdcard, and the external sd card is found at /mnt/mmc or /sdcard-ext for the newer phones. Do you have the same issue when you move those files to the internal storage?
I haven't tried moving files around. How would I do that?

Grab astro file manager from the market. Find the files and section "multi" then hit move. Find the new directory you want then in and select paste

For Real? If so, you either use "my files" app or grab es file explorer and navigate to, and then long press on the file and choose move> move to desired location.
Otherwise, happy fools day...
Yup I was being for real. I never had to do that before. Every time I wanted move files around I just plugged my phone to my comp. I'm one of those ppl that really doesn't root or try different ROMs on my phone not because I don't want to but I'm terrified of messing it up lol
okay guys this is my first android phone,first time rooting, first time for all of it basically.
i have a galaxy s3 i747m that i managed to root already. now i downloaded a ROM that i want and using android file exchange( I AM ON A MAC MAYBE MY PROBLEM?)
so i found the file on my mac,opended file exchange,put the file on my SD card.
now when i go into ROM manager i go to "install ROM from SD card" but it shows me everything thats on my phone not my SD card....i looked everywhere but the file is not there and i cant figure out why its doing this.
so i thought maybe if i save it to my phone i can find it,so i did that and i found the ROM file, but now when i open the file it just shows me
META-INF/ and system/ but on my computer it shows me something called BOOT.IMG.
im guessing this is the part of the file i need since nothing else works?
let me know guys im stuck, and sorry for the long post.
thanks guys!

DON'T touch this boot.img you taklking about.
Can you cannect phone by USB to your mac? ( sorry i'm PC guy). If you do just go open your phone with explorer in you mac then create folder on SD card "ROMS" in example , copy downloaded rom from your mac to phone this way you will know where it is. Now if you did not install CWM (clockwork mod recovery) install one from Rom Manager and reboot in it. Choose install from card and find roms folder you created and rom you copied in to folder choose this rom. Now follow instruction.
BTW. Before you start flashing roms READ more anthill you sure you know how is done for 100%. There are so many info how this should be done. READ this first :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839 Twice if you have to.
Good luck

Maybe you've Cut/Pasted it somewhere? Try searching it using keywords you remember that the files contains. If that doesn't work, stick it into your computer and see if it can read it.
Im having problems trying to delete a folder, when I try delete the folder, it doesn't delete. Ive tried so many different file managers like ES, astro and root explorer etc but they either doesn't delete or it says delete failed. I don't really want to format my card but is there a way I can delete the folder?
Which folder are you talking about?
Its just my own folder, it has Arabic files in them. For some reason when I want to delete that folder it doesn't actually let me delete. These files are just text and images. Not app related files or anything
Probably a virus. You have to delete it using a computer and an app I forgot what it was called.

If you do remember what it is called, please do get back to me, I would rather not format my whole SD card
Here, try this.
