[Q] Loss of service sound - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I honestly thought that I would find an answer for this but apparently I truly am "special" or weird in this one. I am brand new to the world of rooting and roms and currently have the latest version of Cleangb running on my epic. Fantastic rom and a giant thanks to any and all involved. One thing that has always driven me crazy about the epic is whenever you lose your signal or regain your signal there is an audible sound. I am sure getting rid of it is as easy as just deleting the audio file for it but I have done some searching through the root directory and cannot find the audio file for it. Does anyone know the location of this file? Also is it safe to delete or does one need to replace it with a blank audio file?

/system/media/audio/ui the file should be in here. i am on cm9 so i cant tell you the exact name of file. i dont like sounds other than ringtone, notification and alarm so i delete the entire ui folder and all unused ringtones etc.

I took a look at the CleanGB zip and searched the ui folder and found no sounds there...And an extensive Google search netted the same results. Seems the question has been asked a bunch of times across multiple forums and devices, but no has responded with a clear answer. Maybe one of our devs out here can find the solution. Although I am really starting to think it is possibly built into the ROM framework, instead of just a notification sound...

It has been attempted by our best devs. It is cooked into the TW ROM to where it has never been found.

I will try just moving the entire ui folder out and see if that does anything and report back. If that doesn't work then yeah hopefully one of the devs can clarify if it is built into the rom. Thanks for the posts everyone.

And then throw on an AOSP ROM like CM7 and problem solved.

I would like to try CM7 at some point but I am a little apprehensive about it at the moment. What led me to root and put a new rom on was how disgusted I was with the constant freezing of stock. CleanGB appeared to look the most stable of any out there. Since I use easytether a lot I liked that the mobile hotspot was also unlocked. Correct me if I am wrong but CM7 does have some tethering issues does it not? It just seemed like there were a few more issues associated with it than CleanGB at this point. I am open to convincing though!

Somehow I missed your reply. That clear it up quite a bit though. My only question though is CleanGB is based of of GB and not TW so does that mean he just cooked it into the GB rom as well?

CleanGB is based off TW stock. It's not AOSP Gingerbread, it just has the TW apps removed.

[Q] Hey im new

I have been programming for years but am new to MIUI. I have a question. I recently isntalled the 1.12.23 build for my epic 4g the latest xboxfanj upload, I cant seem to turn off my data limit alert as I have Sprint unlimited data I shouldnt get that alert. I noticed other MIUI builds come with a monitor app and my build has a menu that comes up when i press the data limit notification, but it has broken links that dont go anywhere. I have tried using the monitor.apk from other MIUI builds and it wont install on my epic 4g. Any help would be much appreciated.
Lastly how can I tell if my build is blm or mtd?

There are however ones in the app section that have taken out the tw dependecy and should be pushed to your /system/app folder and possibly a reboot or run the media scan

[Q][ICS] Looking for proper/working SMS Splitting

Not sure if this is the right place to post this - sorry in advance.
I'm looking for a flashable MMS.apk or .zip that would give me the stock ICS messaging app with SMS splitting that works.
The only ROM I know that has this working properly is Apex. Every other ROM I've tried either doesn't have the option to split, or does have the option, but it doesn't do anything.
I've searched the forums and could only find themed mms.apks to use. It looks like a few others are looking for a solution to this as well. Has someone posted on this before? If so, please send me in the right direction.
First off it works on codename and it works on markVis's super charged roms, and this should be in general not development, sometime you have to go to settings in messaging and turn SMS split on

Was on CNA for weeks, and a few different versions at that. It was brought up in the threads there, too. Currently using AOKP right now. Will check out markVis's, so thanks for that suggestion.
In my OP, I was saying that some ROMs have the option, but it doesn't "do anything," meaning that the app will still work as if it wasn't checked in the settings. I've re-wiped, re-flashed, and the whole shibang.
If a moderator can move this thread, that would be cool. I'm still (relatively) new here.
The ones in this thread work fine for me. They're based on the one originally posted in oics.

Is that the stock mms.apk from the rom or from a theme you installed? I haven't used codename but the problem reported by the user is something reported on aokp and being that a lot of roms will use features from others I would suspect other roms could easily have the issue. The only mms that has properly worked for me is the one originally released with oics.

if you were on two different roms and it didnt work on either, then it probably is safe to say its not the rom.
try the link to denverg's mms.apk's they have saved me in the past when i didnt want to mess with the 160split problem. but over the past couple of months, i have been on CNA and AOKP almost exclusively and have not had any problems with split. make sure you dont restore data the next time you flash a rom. flash it and test the split, then restore whatever data and see if that breaks it. that will tell you if its the rom or your data. my 2 cents fwiw
oICS is the only rom I've used where the split actually worked. Its the reason it took me forever and a half to leave that rom lol. I'm a big texter and its annoying as hell not having the split, specially when the option to turn it on is laughing in your face lmao. Btw I'm as well on AOKP b28 and would love to see this actually work.

I saw these earlier, but thought that they were all themed? They all say "Inverted" on the .zip files. Do I just download the ones that say "Stock", too? And GI or BI (wut?).
They are all inverted. Probably the only place to find the white background would be in the oics thread by aosp. Gi or bi just indicates the color of the icon. Green or blue.

That wasn't what he was implying, for me it's worked on every Rom I've used except for one, and I'm a flashaholic I flash a lot of roms , it could simply be an issue of not doing a full wipe or something
Thought I'd mention split also broke for me on aokp, option is there but no dice. Worked like a charm in oICS..

[Q] Anyone able to change bootanimation in XPLOD mini?

Hello, I have been able to change on every other ROM i have used, but unable to here. Tried pushing using adb, tried using root explorer, and as of just now, I have reloaded the rom with the new bootanimation in it. Sad to say, I looked at the one that was preloaded in the rom, and that isnt even the bootanimation that shows. Ughhh, just getting frustrated, hope someone else knows. And yes, I even tried renaming it sanim.zip.

Boot animations are handled differently on ICS. Instead of bootanimation.zip it uses another format (I tried to look it up but I'm currently running AOKP which uses another format). I myself haven't seen any way to change it yet.
Sorry!

Yeah, I figured that much out. I was hoping I was wrong in my searches, but handled by a .qmg file. I just don't know how to edit to point in the right direction or even know how to read one yet. I was hoping someone out there could point me in the right direction. I have found a forum which explains how it is handled, just doesnt tell me how to read/edit the file. Still searching......
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Okay, so an update is required here. Aftery research, all things point to samsung changing to bootani.qmg during froyo rollout. I can find several other threads with .qmg files in them for boot, but nothing with custom boots due to the .qmg software being too mich $$$$. Will keep this ipdated as much as I can. Seems that there is a hex editor that can read them??? But I am at work, so cant try until tonight.
EDIT: This software appears to be unobtainable. You can look at the .qmg file via hex editor, but after reading all day long, these types of files are a waste of time to try and change, and have been a dead topic here on xda for quite some time. It boils down to the kernel whether it will support a different boot animation or not. So.... Now you know how much a dev has to work in order to make us all happy, because believe me, kernels are not easy, nor creating a custom rom in order to match and flow smoothly with it.
MOD: Close this thread if deemed necessary, was just hoping for a good answer, finally found it myself...

Jelly bean issue with files

ever since i've flashed jelly bean, i had an issue with my files..
for example, my photos don't show up in the gallery app,
i cant access any of my music regardless of which music player i use..
however, if i use solid explorer then i can view everything just fine.
i have searched about this but couldn't find a good explanation.. please help
Good luck, nobody yet seems to know the reason or a fix to this problem, myself I reverted to an ICS nandroid for now. Theres a couple of threads floating around in this same forum related to this issue. Look for sd card problem or something like that.

All I know is mileage seems to vary.
Many users (myself included) have absolutely no problems with JellyBean.
I haven't even tried any AOSP releases yet...I only ran the OTAleak that was converted for Toro users...still no problems.
I tried the I/O leak, Bixie's first version and the latest. Everytime had the same result... missing media. -___-
The only time I got some media to show in the galery was after fixing permissions in CWR and even then most of the media didn't show up

Thanks for that link. But I think if I'm stock rooted I'm odexed correct? And the 5 contacts thing is not regarding sending mms. It let's you link more than 5 contacts. Samsung has this stupid restriction which makes me have duplicate contacts for some people once I link all 5 and the person has more accounts with other apps that sync to my contacts.
Edit: Tried to flash your modded camera and it killed the auto focus beep but volume keys didn't work to take the pic nor did the on call feature work. Went back and completely uninstalled the camera before flashing again and that did the trick. I still have a shutter sound tho. How can I delete that?

The stock roms get released in odex and deodexed versions. If it worked for you, then I'm guessing you're deodexed.
With root explorer you will have to look in system/media folder. I can't recall exactly which sounds are related to the camera but they are named pretty well so it shouldn't be to difficult to figure out. Just rename them if you're not sure instead of deleting them. I think you also provided a link to something about the 5 contacts. I'll take a look at that too when I have time.
