getting custom ringtone recognized in CM9 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, this makes NO SENSE. I have been using CM9 RC1 since it was posted with no problems. Yesterday, in the middle of my day, when my phone rang, the ringtone was different. I looked at it and it was one of the cm9 ringtones. CM9 will not recognize my custom ringtone i have been using now for years in the ringtone folder. Any suggestions? I did a complete reflash from square one and still no luck.

Is the ringtone showing up in the list, just not playing? If so, the system can't find it on the SD card and is reverting to the default tone. Try defragging your SD card or backing up and reformatting.

is there a .nomedia file in your ringtones folder?

I had something similar happen after the OTA 1.47 update, somehow my notification sound for facebook got changed to some random song off my mem card. I just found the settings for it, changed it back and it never happened again.

sorry hit thanks by accident... I am running CM7 too and the only way I know of is to have your media volume turned down.

Not true...there was a thread in this very forum just a day or two ago entitled "CM7 Camera sound" or something to that affect. One of the post contains a flashable file that gets rid of the annoying focus/shutter sound. Just remember that if you flash a new nightly you have to flash that zip again.
Isnt it just by deleting the sound file? I heard of that, but not sure where it is.
Probably the Sd card root?

Go to post #17 in this thread. Download the zip file and flash it in recovery. Confirmed working from my end!

Ah gotcha that must be what the problem is.
The ringtone should be copied over to your SD in the folder:
media/audio/ringtones
Then you just select it like you would select a normal ringtone from settings/sound.
ok ill try that. thank you sir
Its still changes when I get a phone call. I'm stumped on this one

[Q] Inline Mic no longer works [CM 10.1]

Is anyone having a problem with an inline mic not working at all on their GSIII?
Ever since approx CM 10.1 beta 4 the mic on a couple pairs of headphone no longer works. The mic no longer receives sound during calls and pushing the single button has no effect in music players like it used to. Headphone ear buds still play sound just fine.
I updated to the most recent nightly and problem still persists.
I'm just not 100% sure it its a problem with the ROM or if coincidentally for some reason my headphone jack has failed and is no longer receiving mic signals.
Anyone else having this problem or know a fix for it?
Odin back to stock and test. Then you will have your answer.

I doubt it is CM.

I've had lots of random issues in the past where Poweramp wouldn't respond to the buttons on the earbuds (never used one with a mic). Would work fine for a while, then stop. Poweramp is almost never updated. So that has to be a CM problem.
Also, Tasker was no longer reading my notifications to me while my earbuds where plugged in. Worked fine for months on every nightly up to a certain point. No longer works. I think headset plugged isn't being registered within the OS anymore.
My money is on CM bug.
Weird definitely. I figured there being no talk of it it wasn't an issue, only person to ask this lol... Hopefully it is a bug within cm only though. Someone pull system/usr/keychars|key layout/general file and compare them, I fixed this issue with LiquidSmooth 2.2 release which in turn fixed Carbon's exact issue. Maybe they changed something and/broke something.

yea I thought about that but I didn't particularly want to go through that trouble if it was already a confirmed CM bug that other people were having.

Like mt3g its the first I've ever heard about it. Just nandroid backup. Odin root 66. Test. Restore nandroid.
At least for me its not too much to do to be certain. Your call though, of course.

I have actually noticed this myself. Inline mic doesn't work at all, buttons do nothing... But I can hear fine. Also, beyond pod dropped one channel so sound only happens in one side.

You mean comparing the two files?
What am I look for a difference in?
Yes compare the "general" in system/usr/keylayout & keychars... I just put them side by side in notepad and scroll and check to see I'd they're different in any way at all. Better yet you can just push them, remove the current ones and replace them with new ones and then reboot.... That's how I fixed the issue with Liquid a while back surprisingly lol.

Well I'm flashing stock root66 right now so we'll see if the problem persists there or not first. If not then I'll load CM back in and see what happens and try your idea out.

Really looking forward to hearing how this works... If I had more time these days, I'd have a look at the commit history, but the wife and kids are making more demands on my time than I can handle and still have as many hobbies as I'd like. This thread is subscribed, though. Thanks everyone for having more free time than I do.

Well the news is in.
Running stock Touchwiz rom the inline mic worked perfectly with calls and controlling music.
But back on CM 10.1 latest nightly and it no longer works again.
on a side note I'm pretty pissed. Some how between the odin flashing of stock and cwm flash of CM 10.1 half the **** on my sd card including my titaniumbackups and my nandroid backs up are no where to be found. My music and several other old app folders are still on the card but not the actual important stuff I needed to restore. Whats weird is my SD card still shows the same amount of data on the card but I can't find any of it anywhere.
Always keep a backup of internal stuff, people complain too much for their own mistakes.

I thought it was all backed up. Anyways I'm not complaining about that, is my issue and I'll live with it.
But this obviously shows that it is a CM bug right?
Yup

Yes, it seems to be a cm bug.
Look at the sdcard from recovery. Ill bet everything is still there, but is subject to the /0/0/0 file structure issues tons of people have.

If not there mnt/shell click in all of them and if found move outside the /0 folder or in some other spot you're comfortable with...
