[Q] Pull ringtone from a specific ROM?

When I flashed Ruby 1.1.4 the default ringtone was called something like 'de mari...something something' it was a 8-bit song
I had assumed it's a ringtone from the default AOSP ringtone set however when I flashed Cyanogen 6.1 it wasn't there. I was wondering if anyone could help me pull the ringtone from the ROM so I can use it where ever I want.
Or could you pull the ringtone and share as a .zip or as a .mp3?

all system sounds (ringtones, notifications, alarms etc.) are in /system/media/audio in their respective folders. just download the rom and open up the zip to find them.

Here is a link to ring tones from cm6.

New better ringtones?

I am quickly warming up to the Galaxy Nexus. The only thing right now that is annoying me is the fact that I cannot seem to get 4G here in Northern VA and when it cannot get 4G it seems to hang sometimes for up to 10 minutes which makes the phone essentially useless during that time.
Does anyone have a way to get newer or better ringtones? The stock ringtones are some of the worst I have ever heard for a phone. There is not one I like.

I was seraching for ringtones too, I was tired of my alarm and default ringtone.
A good starting point was going to the Android Market and doing a search. I found Sacron Ringtones. They are a bunch of apps with each app having 15 ringtones each belonging to a different theme. From theme you can link to their other apps to find more ringtones. You can preview them first and add only the ones you like.
I found quite a few ones I liked. And also they are loud! If you add Volume+ app to your phone as well, you should have no problem hearing your phone.
The last thing I'm looking for is a notification tone that sounds like a beeper. Does anyone have one to recommend?

Not sure what the issue is really. You can have whatever you want as your ringtone, sms notification tone, email notification tone etc...
Just find what you want and drop them into the appropriate folders.
Personally I use this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldOzgxQQv4M for my message tone, this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cy2Htydlhk for my email notification tone and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL-Zf3nAoHY for my ringtone.

[Q] Possibilty of de-wizzing built-in apps?

So I think my biggest complaint on this phone, in my opinion, is touchwiz. I think its plain ugly and makes my phone look like a cartoon. And the apps like the calculator dialer clock calendar etc. all try desperately in subtle and blatant ways to copy apple, which really irritates me because the stock GB apps worked just fine, and in some ways I think better.
Touchwiz goes far beyond the launcher, and I've done everything I know how to do that I've searched to replace my launcher and excessively theme to make my phone look like ICS and keep touchwiz out of my face...but its still irritating to me to open up my contacts and be greeted with this silly interface that makes dialing and finding contacts a swiping-frenzy joke while the stock GB dialer was perfectly fine, and better IMO.
Coming from the Nexus phones with ICS...Gingerbread is no prize either but I think is much better as far as all those apps go. So my question is if its possible to replace the built in dialer, clock, calendar, calculator with .apks or other files? and If so how I would go about doing it? Thanks everyone.

Here's what I do.
Freeze all the touchwiz apps I dont like (i.e. dialer, contacts, launcher, etc.) and I use Apex Launcher and Go Contacts/Go Dialer EX. Works fine, and you can theme that easily.
If you are sporty, you can download a Nexus ICS rom and pull the phone/dialer, contacts, calc, etc. that you like, and try to put it in your system/app folder or data/app folder. havent tried this so it may not work.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thats what I think I may do...but I'm probably going to take the stock GB stuff since I'm thinking ICS stuff wouldn't work right on juggs. I'll try to pull the apk's from eugene's CM7 and see what happens.

Oh sorry, I have ICS on the brain. Forgot to check your sig and see you were on Gingerbread
alot of times, you may be able to find the AOSP version of the apps in the market too.

[Q] Features between 4.1.1, 4.2.2 and the ROMs

Hey guys, coming from iPhone world I'm used to some features that kind of shocked me when I got my Galaxy SIII from AT&T. I'm assuming that these features are covered between the version and version 4.2.2, but I am not clear if they are fixed within the droid OS itself, or if it requires a custom/specific ROM image.
The functionality I miss/want is:
Assign specific text tone to a contact (i.e. text messages from GF get ringtone A, text messages from Amazon Delivery Notification Services get ringtone E, etc.)
Calendar events / text message notification option to post on lock screen.
Full image size sending text message with .jpeg/image (they all seem to get compressed to ~200something KB? I'm not sure)
Image zoom within text message app.
Group text messaging (never really got this to work)
I know I can bandaid some of this by leveraging an app like SMS-Pro, but some of those functions require your friends to also use SMSPro (like group chat MMS? I'm not sure about that though) I would also like see features I expected when migrating to Android but did not get. Like expanded ability to assign colors to fonts and themes, recording phone calls, etc.
So in essence my question is if using a ROM package to upgrade to 4.2.2 will indeed bridge the gap on a lot of this stuff, if so, what would a very stable & feature rich one to pick? I don't want to do this many times, as my phone is my life-line and I just need to get it to a point where I can use it for a solid couple years.
Thank you! I very very much appreciate your input!

3rd party dialers: black screen

Moto g4, lineageos 20180509, opengapps pico installed
Using any 3rd party dialer from the play store, like drupe, just gives me a black screen on incoming and outgoing calls. The apps work fine, they have their permissions, I've set them as Phone App in the settings, they record me missing calls, they can draw over other apps and on my lock screen... Just whenever I receive or start a call, I get a non-responsive black (off) screen.
Is there a typical cause for this? Does lineage or a moto g4 not play nice with custom dialers? Do they have implicit dependencies?
Thanks for any help
--
The stock lineageos phone and contacts apps are still installed, but I've removed bloat like audiofx, clock, wallpapers, etc that I have my own apps of choice for (the stuff listed here). I've not touched important things/system components though, like an app that had a name something like inCallUi, and ones like simtoolkit.
I've always had the impression dialers need much deeper system integration so the odds of them working are lower. Much more complicated than sms apps and such anyway. Most apps like galleries work well through the service provider/interface implementor broadcasting system android uses to link app functionality regardless of exactly which apps they are, but dialers and such seem to pretty integrated into the core system... Lineageos' phone app can't even be removed, for starters.
