The problem I am having is the phone shows the ringtone I want and my ringtone manager app shows the correct ringtone but when the phone goes off it plays some off the wall tone that I cant seem to find and delete from the phone. ANY suggestions are welcomed.
message tone plays just fine
All stock ringtones for CM7 is located at /system/media/audio/ringtones/. Delete the ringtones you don't want. S-Off required. Or remove them from the zip before flashing.
If it doesn't play the tones you assign, make sure there are no conflicting apps working for your notification tones.
Ok so i have deleted all the files in that area and still have the problem.
I have "contact remover" app witch allows me to control my contacts on my phone and those backed up to google. Not sure if this matters or not but when adding new contacts the app automatically gives me the option to create the contact on the phone without sync or to my google account. I don't know if because I choose the backup option to google if there is something overriding cm7, i get that damn annoying ringtone and my vibrate settings are not recognized either.
Should I just erase and start over with a different mod???????? Not what I really want to do, as i am really happy with cm7 but I am seriously at my wits end with this annoying ringtone.

Actually, there is another way to do this despite S-ON.
With ADB installed, execute "adb remount". Somehow this changes the state of the system and puts it read-write mode. After executing "su", I was able to navigate down to the ringtones and notifications folders and remove all the files I didn't care to use. Worked like a charm on my HTC Hero CDMA.

Since I upgraded to 2.2 I haven't been able to set my own message tone. I have the mp3 that I want to use sat on my sd card, but it won't allow me to copy and paste to the notifications file on my phone, and says "insufficient file permissions"
I have tried via HTCSync, tried two different file managers but still nothing. Can anyone shed any light??? I would also like to change the boot up noise but can't do that either.
Generic Stock 2.2 (Orange debranded) if that helps.
Thanks
Searching helps. Put ringtones and notification sounds in their respective directories in the media directory on your SD card. Search marked for silent boot.

Thanks for that, but I want to change the boot noise, not make it silent. I want to use the Xbox start up noise lol.
Hey there,
I recently started flashing multiple ROMs to see which one I liked best and whatnot, and I ended up staying with Fresh 3.4.0.1...
Thing is, I kinda liked the "Boing" notification sound for my texts from CyanogenMod 6.1...
Is there anyway to get them without restoring the nand backup and then copying the sound to the SD root (if I can even find/access it) and just using it on Flash after flashing the ROM again?
Any way at all? Does someone have the sound file?
thanks in advance!
Open the cm6.zip on your computer and go to:
/system/media/audio/notifications
All the sounds will be there....

For extra easiness, just copy the whole /media/ folder to your SD card's root directory. It will then automatically list the ringtones, alarms, and notification sounds in the list as if they were stock.
I like setting gmail's notification to the plastic pipe sound since it's quiet enough to not be annoying.
I am using one of the CM7 nightlies, nightly 132 i think. At some point i noticed that a custom ringtone I had created was ringing the phone instead of the CM7 default ringtone. I changed the ringtone to one of the other standard CM7 ringtones. The next time my phone rang it was still a custom ringtone. I went into file manager and changed file suffix so that the file would no longer be seen and hoping the phone would then default to the ringtone I had chosen. Instead the phone only vibrates now. Any way I can force the phone to see the default ringtones.
Like I said before, I'm using CM7 nightly, I think 132 with Tiamet 4.0.x kernel.
i have had the same exact problem since i flashed CM7.1.0 RC1, tried the same thing (deleting the song) and now the phone only vibrates, as well. Just wanted to state your not the only one. Would really like a solution for this, i've tried using the winamp 'set as ringtone' setting without luck, as well....

I didn't solve the root cause of this issue, but to get the ringtone i wanted I copied the ringtone file from the 'ringtones' folder to the 'music' or 'audio' folder where the ringtone i didn't want to ring the phone was stored. I'd already changed the suffix of the custom ringtone so that it can't inadvertently be selected by the phone.
It works, but i still don't know why the phone isn't looking in the correct folder for the ringtones.
I currently have Nil's Business Gingersense 3D and no matter where I place my mp3 collection (SD or EMMC) no music player or system app can detect any of it. The music has been detected before by Stock Sense and Synergy Rom so I know it's in an Android readable format. Any ideas?
Edit: After some adjustments I managed to get my mp3's detected on my SD card but not EMMC. Isn't Business Sense supposed to detect music off the EMMC?
Music on emmc and sd card works on Nils Business Gingersense 3.0. I should know, I've been running the 3.0 rom since July.
"Business Sense" is his froyo rom so you mean "Business Gingersense 2.1/3.0+3D" correct? This was taken straight from Post #2 of Business Gingersense 2.1/3.0+3D:
"Known Problems
As far as I can tell the only thing not working 100% is the
* Music on EMMC (Internal Storage) not found by stock music player.
- Fix - You can try other players from the market - PowerAmp works"
I'll try that, thanks.
Another issue, all of my custom notification sounds aren't used at all by the system. I select my default notifications and custom ringtones but the only sound I'm hearing are the default notifications and ringtones. Any help there?
I don't use ringtones/custom notifications but I just looked into it on my phone. I called from one of my contacts with a song from my music library as the ringtone, I even switched it twice and this worked both times like normal. Earlier I moved my music from sd card to emmc and when I tried selecting ringtones just now it wouldn't work. I did a reset as I realized my phone hadn't recognized that I moved those files.
My question to you is:
1) Have you moved your music files from one location to another since the last time you did a reboot?
2) How are you setting them?
Again, I use the default ringtones as they are neutral if my phone goes off at work so I'm not much help. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help out. I'm about to test with gmail to see if custom notification sounds fails.
Edit: just tested with my Gmail app and my sound is changed there as well. When you change your ringtone for a contact or for emails (gmail, etc.), in the location that you manually switch the sound does it state that it is changed from default to customized? As in, does it not switch from default to custom notification sound xyz?
For a contact:
Droid Incredible
Call: Droid Inc.
Send Message
options
Ringtone
Default (or your customized ringtone?)
I have not moved my music files anywhere since the last reboot.
I've been setting my contacts' ringtones through Sense' people widget, my ringtone through settings > sound > phone ringtone, my default notification through settings > sound > notification sound, and other custom notifications sounds through the various apps I use.
I just double checked to see if the sounds were selected and they are. I have no idea why they're not playing properly.
That is weird. How about this
1) Redownload the rom and place it on your sd card
2) Perform a Nandroid in Recovery (or Amon Ra if that's your recovery)
3) Format data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, & format system
4) Flash the rom
5) reboot and see if you still have the issue.
Hi All,
Apologies for the novella below but I wanted to be as through as possible.
Been having a few problems with my M8 & I was wondering if any of you had some helpful tips.
At the moment I'm running a One M8 on 5.01 with stock Sense, Rooted with SuperSU installed & Xposed Framework & Xtended settings for tweaks & whatnot.
I'm trying to add a custom Unlock sound & having some real problems & I'm not too sure where they lie. I was hoping someone has had a similar issue.
There is a feature in Xtended Settings that allows you to modify your Lock/Unlock sound but it only allows you to select one of the stock Ringtones, Notifications or Alarms.
My plan was to just add the sound to the same location as the stock notifications however when I use any file manager with Root access to transfer the tone it will copy, show up in the Notification sound menu of the stock settings but will make no sound when its selected & will not appear in the tone list in Xtended Settings.
If I then navigate back to the Notification tone folder my custom tone will not appear, if I try to transfer the tone again it will cause my phone to hang & then reboot... It seems to me that its a problem with my phone not having access to modify files on the root of the device but surely that can't be the case due to the the modules installed requiring Root access... although I may be wrong as Windows is more of my strong point than Android.
Any help would be much appreciated folks.
Let me know if you need any more info.
Thanks :highfive:

Did you change permissions on the new sound file to match the others in the folder and reboot?

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I've tried doing that, when I reboot the phone the Tone disappears from my file manager & trying to copy the Tone again causes it to reboot... Baffling
