What format is best for custom ringtones with a stock ROM? And what location is best, if they are to appear in the ringtone picklist?
Much apologies if these are n00bish Qs. I've never run a stock ROM and I need much learning. This much I know: I'm quite happy with GB27.
Regarding Q 1 ... I can convert to OGG or whatever. Just wanting to learn the most compatible format.
For Q 2, I tried copying an OGG into /system/audio/media/ringtones, but it wouldn't appear in the picklist even after a reboot. Ditto for /storage/sdcard/ringtones and /storage/extsdcard/ringtones. So, yeah, definitely trying to learn where to stick my custom ringtones.
Thanks ------
Ring tones need to be mp3 and placed in the /system/media/ringtone folder with permissions for each set to rw-r--r-- then reboot and profit

What he said, and there is an alternate way. Just simply place MP3 files into the folder labeled "Ringtones." That folder is located on the root of your internal SD Card (USB Storage). I use Airdroid to simply move and replace ringtones whenever I feel like it. Reboot after changing files around and the phone should update your ringtone list, no need for permissions changing or even checking. Works for me perfectly this way. Enjoy!

Hi everyone! Are there any other ringtones and/or sounds other than the ones installed in the Galaxy SIII that I can download? I don't know about you but the alarm sounds in this phone are just to subtle for me.
Thanks!

You can add any mp3 or ogg file.

There are quite a few ringtone apps that work. I used Zedge for most of mine. It's just pull any mp3 file.

I use a flac file for notifications. I guess that all formats listed on developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html can be used.
For the notification to show up, I had to put the NAME.flac file in /sdcard/Notifications/NAME.flac. After a reboot it will then show up as NAME in the settings. I guess the same applies to ringtones, they could be put in /sdcard/Ringtones/.
Note that putting the file in /extSdCard/... won't work on CM9, it just don't get picked up.
Btw, this is about a GT-i9300, I do not know if the Sprint version differs much.
An easy way to get a ton of free audio stuff is through the Zedge app from the play store.

If you're rooted you can dump any sound files in system/media/audio/ringtones or notifications and they will appear in the android system list of choices. I always bring Cassiopeia and Sherbet from the SGS2 to any rom I flash.
You can also search for sound file apk for different phones in their forums..usually Zip and sideload to phone or download zip app

It seems to use a lot of resources?
It scans storage for all media files pics music ringtones, etc and keeps there location for whatever needs them. So I would say that you do definitely need it. However it does seem like yours is going more than it should. I would recommend backing everything up and doing a full wipe and reinstall everything to see if it works better.

it's getting stuck on some dir trying to scan files. does the OP have some folder on /sdcard/ that has like, an abuse of files, jpegs, mp3? place '.nomedia' file under that dir or structure it into more folders.
Probably a corrupt picture or audio file on your /sdcard.

I don't think so. But maybe a rogue app created a ton of media files? I'd have to check.

maybe; a corrupt file could also be the cause, like previously posted. still, if we cant find the culprit, imo a fresh start would be best, reflashing from fastboot.
saw this elsewhere: there are also widgets that may cause this behaviour, especially ones that sync something.

I have the stock framework, but since I used the motomoto theme, alot of apps are themed.
If someone with a i317 could copy their /system/app folder, zip it up and send it to me, i would be much appreciative. That was I can get out a stock de-odedex files with an extended power menu.
Its already done on mine, its just all my stuff is themed at the moment.

Not sure if I got it from the right place (system/framework) but here you go:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a21flhlxt80wg91/framework-res.apk
That's the right place. And I assume both of these are stock?
I'm on my way home now. Give me a few hours and I'll have them up.
im rooted thats all. pulled them to my db a few min ago

Same.
Ah crap. I need more files than that. I themed to many. I'll get a hold of them somehow
Unless one of you guys who is stock, no theme will zip up your entire /system/app folder and send it to me?
Send me a PM with what you need.
nevermind... I just PM'd you with a link. if there's a problem with it, let me know - I also pulled a copy of the non-sparse partition that can be mounted via a loopback device.
I'm not trying to blow your mind here just having some fun.
I replaced the dot nodpi folder with a baseball.
Changing the background is beyond my limited ability.
Instructions:
1. [optional] Using a root file manager, go to System/App and rename NoiseField.apk to NoiseField.bak [so you can switch back when/if you like]
2. Using a root file manager Copy/Paste BBNoiseField.apk and rename to NoiseField.apk then change permissions [un-check Group/Write]
3. Reboot and Apply in live wallpaper.
This is as easy as it gets.

The diy for modding the deskclock was my intro to easy system app png replacing.
Here too is a modded blue ball to jelly bean.
I used apktool for this and the pic is 164x164 I believe but you can use 7zip diy to replace pic.

Easier way using root explorer:
1. Copy the app and paste it in sdcard
2. Extract it
3.go to extraction folder and delete dot.png
4. Replace it with your image
5.zip it
6. Rename the extension to apk
7. Move it to your system/app folder and reboot
Simple.
Anyone figure out how to turn off the shutter sound of the 4.3 camera? Tried putting it on silent mode but it's still loud as hell.
Sure. Make sure your phone is rooted and use root explorer app to find the corresponding folder to change audio files extension so the phone can't read the sound files.

Lok for any files to do with camera. IE shutter, camera, cam, etc & add .bak to the end of the file (press and hold file to rename).
