Hey there guys, i didnt know where exactly to ask this so i just opened a new thread.
I recall in one of the roms, there was a cooked in app that allows us to cut and adjust music as we want to make it a ringtone. can anyone attach or link that app.Thx
As the title states I'm running dzo's latest with the 9-9-10 kernel. The issue is that when I get a call my phone rings once then just stays at the answer screen as though the phone should be ringing.
So has anyone had this issue with dzo's froyo, and if so what did you find to be the fix if u found one.

I am having the exact same issue, very annoying, no solution so far...
I'm unable to help factively, as I'm not running that build, but just to start troubleshooting... which kind of ringtone are you using?
Have you tried to use a different one (i.e: a song)
What's the result?
maybe this can help tracking the issue

It's a clean installation so no installed ring tones, only the once dzo included. I will try with some of the others to see if they all produce the same result.
Far from solving the issue, it may be a patch: having a song (obviously longer than a ringtone jingle) you'd hear it longer
Yes but if the filesize is too big then it will take a while to load the ringtone also which would mean you would miss the first dials and possibly altogether. This may be a dialer issue, I have noticed that android doesn't seems give the dialer a higher priority then the other active tasks for some reason. Does anyone know if we can set priority of activities in Android? If we can make the dialer the highest priority then your phone shouldn't have less issues.

Not only that, but a fix is what I'm after, not a workaround.
I've already posted a fix for this in dzo's original Fresh Froyo thread:

P.S. Have anyone noticed, that some ringtones (e.g. Digital Phone) ring only once? While still vibrating, and showing caller ID, the phone does not repeat the ringtone. I don't know, when it starts to happen, but it was in any ROM from July.

I had this problem as well, thought I'd share my finding and fix:
In OGG files I've found that there's an extra meta tag called ANDROID_LOOP which is set to 'true'. The Digital Phone ringtone doesn't have this tag, while others like the Classic Phone does (hence why the Classic ringtone repeats for incoming calls).
Here's what I did to fix this:
- Download and install Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net)
- Open the ringtone file in Audacity, note you can use mp3/wav files as well, Audacity can convert them into OGG.
- Select Open Metadata Editor for the File Menu
- Add a new tag called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to 'true'. (See screenshot here: g-sel.com/meta_editor.jpg (I can't post external links, so if a mod would like to edit this post and make them links, please feel free.))
- Click OK
- Select Export from the File Menu and select the Save As Type format as Ogg Vorbis Files.
- Click OK through File Save and Metadata dialogue window.
- Copy the new ringtone file onto your phone and enjoy
You can also copy the new file over the existing one as well:
- Open a terminal program (eg. Better Terminal from the marketplace) and run the following commands:
$su
#rwsystem
#cd /system/media/audio/ringtones
#cp <location of new ringtone> .
#chmod 644 <new ringtone filename>
#rosystem
#exit
- If you have added a new ringtone, ie. your own one not Android default, you will need to reboot the phone for the new ringtone to appear on the list.
Obviously change <location of new ringtone> and <new ringtone filename> to where you've saved the new file (eg. /sdcard/Ring_Digital_02.ogg and Ring_Digital_02.ogg).
PS. I don't think the CHMOD is really needed, but I like to keep things consistent so I do it anyway.

Thanks to siwahem for solving the problem...
@zPacKRat: I apologise but I suppose I've clearly said: what I suggested may be a patch waiting for the solution, not the solution

Indeed thanks to siwahem for a fix. And sorry ppelleg2003 if I came across short, I always appreciate input.
Forgot to mention that if you want to use your own sound for notifications then set the ANDROID_LOOP tag to false, otherwise the sound will keep looping non-stop. Only way to stop it, without killing the sound system, is to set the phone to silent mode, then back to normal profile.
Seems, this tag is ignored for alarm sounds though, non of the default alarm files have the tag, but I haven't tested it.
As for dialer priority issue, android actually uses a different process for phone calls. The dialer is part of the contacts app I believe.
Try Phone Prioritizer (it may be called Scheduled Scripting) app (here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558822). It runs periodically to set the main phone processes and launcher at higher priority. I've been using it and it works a charm, phone reacts, starts ringing and display the incoming call screen within the first ring.

I have found the issue to only apply to certain ring tones.

This thread was about ring tones, your not likely to get much help with compcache, you might try the devs thread for the rom itself.
set vibrate to always fixed the problem for me.
The title is self-explanatory, I guess.
Right now the Defy (or is this an Android thing?) only allows for audio equalizer presets but there's no customization possible.
I wan't to know if it would be possible to locate where those presets are stored and modify them to suit our needs.
has someone any info on this question?

use for music the poweramp app. it's best for eq
Yep, or I could buy an mp3 player with equalizer ... but that was not what I asked.
Why is it that everytime you ask something on a forum people feel the need to answer something different...
Well... again... does anybody know something about what I asked, please?
Just decompile Audioeffectssettings.apk and edit xml´s inside that apk?
That´s all i can tell.
And for that I'd use the APKTool, right ?
(It goes without saying, I'm a n00b)
i run the wm6.5 3vo series on my excalibur and anytime i put my phone in silence mode, my media players' sound also goes off, i cant even listen to music with my headphone in silence mode. please any help?
You are one of the few that is actually using profiles and still want the music to play. The solution was long hidden and nobody seemed to care about this annoyance. I had uncovered the solution and described it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407883
Please tell if it also helped you.
ok i created it nd i checked the box that says hex, buh its still not working... is there anything more i have to do? like some settings or anything? or should i uncheck the box?
I wrote:
So the simple solution is to create a DWORD named "SysVolIgnoreSilent" under the path "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume" and assign a value of "1" to it. Then you have your old behavior back!

So make sure the value is stored as a DWORD (integer) not as a hex (string). This will not work.
Which tool did you use to create the value?
oh sorry, it works, i was using the player's volume control instead of the side bar... thanks very much
Hi Xda,
I want to know is there any such application , where in it would let me manage different profiles , like when i am in office it auto enables it during weekdays and it lets me enter start time and End time , which will reduce the volume level to Medium , where i can enter the profile Start time and end time ?

yes i've found few threads can you tell how exactly it works ? as i was unable to understand anything
You may want to see xda's video on how to setup. It is just basic but it might help. Look in YouTube as well.
Honestly I don't understand it as well.
