Hi all

Root -> System -> app
Use OI File Manager.

uhm so I need a rooted device to access this, right? there's no other way?

Sorry, my bad.
I didn't mean you need to root the phone. I meant starting from the directory root.
Using OI File Manager, tap on the home icon "A house" then tap system folder then app folder (should be first).

the apk is stored in /data/app/, app data is stored in /data/data/

Cheers. I root phones as soon as I get them so I forget what can and can't be done without it.

no only superusers have r/w permission to /system, without root only android system has read permission and no one has write permission lol

You need to goto /system/app and replace the dialertabactivity.apk with the one you want. Set permissions to rw-r--r-- and finally, reboot.

first make sure that you are rooted
second, use root explorer
set permissions from r/o to r/w
copy and paste the file to system/apps folder
then long tap the file and set permissions to:
r-w
r
r
lastly, restart your phone

Goto /system/app and delete the old dialertabactivity.apk and contacts.apk. Make sure system is mounted as r/w. If you are not sure which apks are the old ones, move one of the copies to another folder and reboot. If the dialer and contacts are not what you wanted, replace them with the one you moved to another folder.

wen i click on icon it says application is not installed in your phone...i check in folder too and there is only one dialeractivity file..

Are you rooted? Dumb question i know but youd be surprised xD

Which system?

Easy fix: Settings and go down to Root Explorer and Mount File System. Make sure both are checked

Notification folder does exist on the main storage, however it only has 1 file. Actual messages tones are not present

I'm guessing that you're not rooted?

Anyway, I have all 15 files in system/media/audio/notifications.

I think so. I was unrooted for about 20 seconds 2 years ago, but AFAIK you can't alter anything in /system without root.
