What is the best way to lets say, extract a notification or ringtone folder from a zipped rom and transfer them to my current running rom? So it replaces the current one. I know you can move one at the time, but it takes forever.
Thanks in advance

If you have knowledge of adb create a ringtones folder which hold the ringtones you wanna add.
Adb push ringtones /system/media/audio/ringtones
This should merge them in.
Using a file explorer you can likely use a similar method. Create a folder named ringtones. Move it with root to system/media/audio. This should merge as well. Make sure to backup your stock ones or at least have them handy from another rom just in case.

Cool thanks. I have knowledge of abd. It seemed like when I did it last time all it did was add the whole folder inside the existing one, without actually replacing it...

Right. You might have pushed it to syststem/media/audio like pushing an app to system/app.
Try pushing it to the folder specifically system/media/audio/ringtones. Should make the difference.

Or you can always add them to your rom zip prior to flashing or add them now and reflash rom

Quick ? since i been playing around with different roms i've also done a lot of backing up but now since im sticking to a rom how do i delete the old backups saved in recovery i mean the ones i dont want anymore?
You can delete via rom manager, manage backups and restore, select, and then delete.
Or mount your sd card on your comp, navigate to the backup folder, and delete.
thanks for the tip.
No problem man. They can eat up space if you have a lot.

Especially if you make a backup before you install the latest CM7 Nightly like I do. I just deleted about six backups last night before creating one for build 28 and then installing build 30.
Astro, root explorer or most of the file explorers can delete them. They should be in /sdcard/nandroid/(device identifier). Just delete the older dates you don't want.

The question i've always had is can you rename this files and if so, will nandroid be able to restore from whatever custom name you create? Does it look at some other identifier number or something to know which is the last back up that was created?
I think I had read a while back that you can because it's hard to loose track of which out of the many in that folder is your last back up or what is on that back up. Wasn't there an app that let you rename them and or put a description of the ROM's contents as well?

Ok so as the other poster said, there is a "Phone Identifier" numbered folder. I know I can't rename that. Then inside that are the different backups I have in folders and the files within them. So are you saying I can't rename THOSE folders too?
You can rename the individual backup folders, just not the phone identifier folder. My paths look like this. /sdcard/nandroid/HT0A****/ (then I have my cm backup folder named CM7, My fresh folder named Fresh and a couple others). The *'s are just place holders, I can't remember the exact name.
You can change any folder names after the HT0A folder. Just no spaces, - or _ work fine though.

The zip that you download IS NOT flashable, so you would have to use a zip eztracting program to unzip it. When you unzip it, it has three folders in it (ringers, notifications, and alarms). Then move the files (all, or just the ones you want) in each of those folders into the folders with the same name your have listed on you sd card.
There are a few good free Zip programs on the net if you don't already have/use one. Most are free "trials", but you can still use them to do this!!

i knew its not flashable but wasnt able to see the files after i moved them (ie audio folder as it is) to sd card.. i had to disconnect the cable to make it work tho...ie see in the sound setting.
Thanks!
Okay, after all this time I forgot about the cool little notification sound that the EVO comes with. CM7 doesn't have it so I would like to know where I can get it or just what file to take it from on a Sense Rom, thanks my friends.
You can download a sense rom, extract the apk/sound file, then place it in CM7; or if you have a sense rom, flash to it, use root explorer / es file explorer, then locate, copy it to the sd card, then paste it in the correct location.
Look in> /system/media then look in audio, notifications, or ui
I think jacoballen22 is asking if anyone knows the location of the sound file or perhaps even the file name. I could be wrong though....

Yes, this is what I am asking and hopefully I can find it cause I'm getting bored of Numb (Piano version) as a notification ringer.

Even after transferring everything to the right spot, it isn't an .ogg file and even when I change the extension it still will not show up.

And using a root file explorer corrupts it? Because the simple copy and past should work; as its not tied into sense as its only an mp3 file.

I see, the part that I do not understand is why are all the CM7 ringers and such .ogg files? and it will not recognize the notification maybe unless I used a trimmer.
I use mp3s for notifications on MIUI, even though MIUI uses ogg files. But MIUI has a different way of choosing ringtones & notifications, which makes it easier.
Where exactly are you moving the file? And are you rebooting afterwards? If the media scanner doesn't run then it may not notice the file.
Edit:
You can also use Zedge to set your notification tones. You may have to move it to sdcard/zedge/notifications to be able to choose it from the app. I'm sure that there are other apps that allow you to choose custom mp3s for notifications.

Thanks for the info cause I just checked and it's in there now. Just needed a reboot lol. Noob life. Well sorta.
World peace with no regard for human life.
I customized the UI sounds for the SGS3: Tick Effect & Keyboard sounds with that of WP7 tick sound and customized the camera / video button sound, etc.
Make sure you rename your stock UI sounds (Example: *tick_effect) before you over-right them.
Upzip / copy and paste in: System>Media>Audio>ui

What seems to be the prob? Just download the zip to your sdcard, unzip it, open root explorer, copy and paste the apk's you want to install and copy and paste them in: Root/System/app
Should be it. *might have to install it and or change permissions*
Awesome! I had to turn off the touch clicks and, since I hate haptic feedback, it's nice to be able to regain some response in the phone's UI.
Thanks.
If you want to further customize your UI to resemble WP7 here is the font.
Should be able to just install the apk and go to settings display and set font.http://db.tt/Wmgm3nST

when i try to rename the stock ui sounds so i can ad the new ones root explore says something about bricking my device lol can anyone give me the steps to do this correctly
Use root explorer, make the directory r/w, copy the sounds into system / media / audio / ui folder.... You will (or should be if you are doing it right) be overwriting pre existing files. Once done and you have overwritten the sounds you wanted to change, reboot phone.
You may need to rename the file if you want it represent/be used for another function. For example, inside the zip file there is a file names backspace.ogg..... Say you want to use it for the TW_touch.ogg sound.... You will need to rename it and all that. Only problem is by the time you cuztomize things to the way you like, a new updated rom is put out and you have to do it again!

It's just warning you because you are editing system settings. Renaming anything in the specified folder won't cause any damage.
ok so i unzipped the file on my sd card extracted to a folder i named ui on the sd card....now when i try to copy the files and move them to the system ui folder it says copy of all files failed..i mam using es file explorer

Use Root Explorer, other file managers won't have permission to change system files. With Root Explorer you will also need to select Mount R/W to be able to write to the system folder.
Make sure you rename all the original files if you ever want to use the original sounds again...I just went back to AOSP lock/unlock sounds, the WP7 sound was a bit sharp.
all worked as soon as i got root explorer thanks guys, am dissapointed though as i am looking to get away from the drip and water sounds, i guess i want a more iphone like sound for typing and lock and unlock without having the iphone....any ideas

You can replace them also... Just need to identify the sound files you want and the name(s) of the files to replace... Easy peasy.....

I assure you, you wont brick your device from just renaming a sound file. I do it all the time. Maybe its for when you try and rename a needed framework or system file.

Have you tried just making your audio into .ogg file type and pushing into place?
Steps:
Make or get the sound you want to use.
Get Audacity (free program) on your computer.
Use Audacity to export your desired audio into "ogg" format.
Name the file PowerOn.ogg.
In your phone, go to system/media/audio/ui/ folder... if PowerOn.ogg is there, rename it in case you want it back. Then push your newly created PowerOn.ogg file into that location, make sure the file permissions are the same as the others in that folder, and reboot.
Does this work?

Hmm. Did you name the file PowerOn.ogg? I believe it's case sensitive, so if poweron.ogg was what you tried, retry with PowerOn.ogg... Last idea: I don't have a ROM to look at, but you can search or someone can reply to confirm that's the right destination folder for PowerOn.ogg in AOSP JB, or just try a few others - system/etc/ or up in system/media/ where bootanimation,zip should be. That's all I've got. Good luck, bud.
Just tried that. No power on there but even when placed it still doesn't work. I changed permissions as advised, still no $. I'm running slim bean btw
