I'm amazed that I haven't been able to find something like this, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right places . . .
I want to find a WM6 app that lets me keep all of my Contacts in the international standard (+ [intl code] [area code] [prefix/number]), but then let me define different profiles that would automatically adjust the number before I dial it. The profile would not need to change automatically. I'm happy to change it myself, depending on the situation -- as traveling, using calling card or not, etc. These profiles would let me adjust for what country I'm in, whether I want to use a calling card, etc, etc.
For example, these are some of the profiles I could have:
[IN JAPAN]
Rule #1: Replace "+" with "0041 010"
Rule #2: Replace "+81 xxxxxx" with "0 xxxxxx"
[IN EUROPE/US]
Use Contacts as-is
[In EUROPE/US: CALLING CARD]
Append calling card info in front of number automatically
The most important usage of this app would be when dialing out calls, but it could also be applied to SMS/MMS. I don't use those as often, so I'm not sure how useful an app like this would be for those.
Does anyone have an app they would recommend for this?
Thanks in advance!
Sunnysoft callingcard can do something like this. However, it's interface is rather silly designed and, what it bothers me, you cannot redial the number (i.e. it doesn't show up in the dialed call log).
If you find another option, please _do_ pm me and post it here, since I'm looking for a while for something better.
Maybe something can be done using mortscript?
Thanks for the quick answers. I'll take a look at both of those . . . and keep looking for something else. This seems like an app that would be useful to a lot of people -- surprised it's not built into the OS or available as a 3rd-party app.
I also looking for this feature still no hopes.. surrpise a poweful WM phone doesn't included from OS rather a low processor regular Nokia and SonyEricsson all have.
WARNING!!!
These applications are not legal in all countries/states. Check first before you use this software as you could get into serious trouble in some countries/states. (Wikipedia Reference)
Note: these programs requires .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable to work. Please install this first if it is not already on your device.
Also if you've just blown in here to download ACR and run, its in Post #3
ACR HD
This program was written for the Touch HD. If your device is not 480 pixels wide or WM6.5+ then I would not recommend you waste your time with this program. This version is for testing/comments only.
This version is for anyone who doesn't mind testing the application at the risk of their device. While I seriously doubt it would harm your device I still feel I need to ward off thoses that are under the impression this application was written with any sort of care or support.
Thiis program currently requires a contact with the FileAs name of Unknown to work properly/with Outlook Importer.
ACR – Auto Call Recorder
SETUP
Once installed go to your programs folder and you will see a new Icon for Auto Call Recorder. Click on the Icon and the options for Auto Call Recorder will be displayed. Once you have chosen your options click the Enable Recording button on the File Tab and close the Options Program. That’s it you are now automatically recording any calls your device has.
OPTIONS
There are two tabs of options to choose from. Most of these you will not need to use at all but where included to provide a better experience for some users who have different requirements such as limited memory, no use to record all calls and such.
File Tab
Folder to save calls in
From the top of the file tab, first we have a textbox showing where the files will be saved. On the right of this textbox is a button. This button when pressed will open a window so that you may change where ACR saves the files.
Ask to save Call
This checkbox when checked will make ACR prompt you with a choice to save the call once the call has finished. Note that even if you choose no you will still have the option to retrieve the last call up until you receive another call. The file Lastcall.wav is only overwritten when you receive another call.
Record Incoming Calls/Record Outgoing Calls
These checkboxes is pretty self explanatory, if you want ACR to record your incoming calls then check this box, if you don’t then uncheck this box. The same goes for Record Outgoing Calls.
Write to Debug File
Only use this option if you are having problems. At the moment the debug is very limited. When you have this option check ACR will write debug messages to a file ‘debug.txt’ in the installation folder.
Recording Tab
The recording tab contains the setting for the file to be recorded. First is the Wav format. This is either PCM or GSM6.10 PCM is a ‘raw’ wav format that will use about 1MB per minute. I have included this format for devices that do not support GSM6.10. The other format GSM6.10 is a ‘compressed’ Wav format and consumes approximately 30kB per minute. Obviously this is the preferred choice.
Bits per channel are either 8 or 16 bits. 16 bits is the preferred choice but I have also included 8 bits for slower devices.
Samples per Second are the number of samples taken each second. This is a matter of preference/device capability. The choices are 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 32000, 44100, 48000, 96000 and 192000Hz. If you have a slow device then you are better starting from the bottom and working your way up by testing to see which the best is for you. If you have a newer device then it is more a choice of how much space you want to use as the higher the number the more space the file will use. Also your device may not support the higher frequencies so I recommend starting with something like 48000Hz. If you set the frequency to high you will get gaps in your recordings.
DEVICES
This program will work on a number of devices at different degrees of success. Below is a few lists of devices and there reported success. If your device is not listed then try it anyway and don’t forget to report back you amount of success. If your device don’t match up to whats reported then please do

TIPS AND FIXES
This is a condensed form of the previous thread and this thread. I will cover all the fixes found by the great folk at XDA.
Enable MicAGC. Its in Settings/System. Its not required by all devices though.
“I only hear my voice, the other party is very soft?” This is because you device is not setup to record both the incoming and outgoing voices. This can also be because your device is only ‘half-duplex’. To solve this try the suggestions in the Devices Post.
“ACR only records the first minute of the call?” This is because you have ‘fast sleep’ enabled on your device. Try something like Advanced Configuration Tool to disable fast sleep.
“I can’t see if it’s working?” ACR has no interface when it’s running. It was designed like this to keep memory usage to a minimum. If you are having troubles with this then I suggest you use the ‘Ask to save call’ option so you know it’s worked after the call. You can also see it running in a task manager program when you choose to show ‘view processes’.

Credits and Thanks
mskip for providing his registry settings from the 2 way recording Cab. Without these settings most devices would only be recording one side of the conversation so if you feel like buying him a beer you can here.
A big thanks to Rozenthal for letting me steal his legal stuff from FingerKeyboard.
A big thanks to Biker1 for helping all the lost people in this thread. You should get more credit than me.
Also thanks to [germany]merlot and deep_purple for testing.
Menneisyys for this great thread here.
Also all the people that reported device Successes/Failures/Tweaks/Registry Setting.
CHANGE LOG
Version 1.2.4
Extended Beta period.
Version 1.2.3
Fixed 12/24 hour time issue if the filename.
Version 1.2.2
Changed the file save format to include the date/time.
Version 1.2.1
Added Choose Folder Dialog.
Added code to stop Windows from shutting down the application in the background.
Added option to record Incoming Calls.
Added option to record Outgoing Calls.

.
OUTLOOK IMPORTER
Outlook Importer is for both ACR and ACR HD. It will import all your saved calls into Microsoft Outlook on your PC. Calls are imported into the Journal.
This version is for anyone who doesn't mind testing the application at the risk of their device. While I seriously doubt it would harm your device I still feel I need to ward off thoses that are under the impression this application was written with any sort or care or support.
Oh yeah currently this app does not import call from the last day. I will hopefully expand on this to be an option but currently its the last 24 hours.
thanks a lot for the update dude
but where is the changelog ? What is new in this version
Great Work!
Waiting for changelog!
Hmmm what did I change?
I added a 'choose folder' for everyone that couldn't put a \ on the end of the path. I added a cancel statement to form closing so CE wouldn't close the app silently in the background. I added a couple of options to choose what calls are recorded. I added a crappy debug file function. I removed the readme tab. Oh and I added an option to save the call after its finished. I changed the file save to include the date. I still don't know why I did this? Hmm what else, don't know I've got the flu so I'm not really that switch on at the moment. Mostly I concentrated on the bugs from version 1.1. If your happy with version 1.1 I wouldn't bother changing if I was you.
oki doki !!
thanks dude
Thanks Slothie, very nice job
still, Record Outgoing Calls it's not working for me
it's unchecked all the time

Ok you'll have to help me out here? What is the device you are using? Also what ROM. So if you check record outgoing calls it unchecks itself?
I downloaded v1.2 and the following issues occur:
1) Record outgoing calls box is ticked but then unticks itself. I finally got it to stay ticked but no outgoing calls being recorded.
2) unable to delete recorded calls. Message pop up says System File, Access Denied.
When I first downloaded v1.2, outgoing calls were being recorded than above issues started occurring.
Downloaded v1.2 due to the Record Call Yes/No option.
Will download v1.1 for now.
I have a Diamond (cdma)

Ok I'll fix this just as soon as I shoot the people that tested this. In the mean time I would recommend trying to set this in the registry directly if you can't wait until tomorrow. The setting are in Local Machine\Software\Inta\ACR and the value should be set to 'True'. With a capital T.

What caliber do you need? j/k
I will try the registry change.
Do you know why I cannot delete recorded calls?
Thanks and welcome back.
Hope your daughter is ok.
Scratch that! I think I found the problem. I just uploaded a newer version. Cheap and nasty style as I'm sick as a dog.
Oh thanks Biker, she is fine now except we all now have the swine flu as the hospital was overrun with infected patients. Little price to pay though as she is now walking again!
Can't delete recorded calls? As in they are read only?

I have set the value to 'True', but I still doesn't work. I saw that version 1.1 was removed, could this be reupload?
Thanx.
It's obvious but just in case, the registry value change to "True" is done to "RecordOut."

As they say, if you wanna get sick, go to the hospital!
Good to hear about your daughter. She will now have to take care of you
I can play back recorded calls but I cannot delete them.
Says System File. No Access.
Thanks.
Btw, made the registry change but box still unticks itself.
UPDATE:
v1.2.1 is working fine
Corrected the Record Out and box stays ticked.
In regards to not being able to delete any recorded calls, the following occurs:
I go to delete and and it asks me if I want to delete the call? I then click Yes. I get the Pop Up Message that says System File, still want to delete? I click Yes. I then get a message saying Access Denied.
BUT
when I exit the call log screen and I go back to the call log screen, the recorded calls that I could not delete ARE deleted
Edit:
I went to delete recorded calls but this time when the Pop Up asked if I want to delete specified call, I clicked Yes (as I did before) and when the System File pop Up appeared I just exited the screen.
When I returned to the call log screen, the calls were deleted as before.
Sorry for any redundancy but I want to be as specific as I can to help solve the problem.
Thanks.
thanx 4 rthat piece of soft...
will test on my diamond touch 2 now ;-)
Tested! Works fine even with both the incomming/outgoing calls and the final confirm!
Only two things:
In portrait mode would be useful to have a scroll bar since I can't see all the options in main page!
Can you put an "OK" in the low bar instead of use "X" in upper right corner to exit???
hi every one;
I need to develop an application which has to make schedualed calls. The problem is it must call without permisson from the user. Also, it must end the call after sometime. Therefore i cant use PhoneCallTask. i heard about Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended.dll and Microsoft.Phone.InteropServices.dll to use more features of the phone. I downloaded them but i could not add them as referance to the project in visual studio. It says "A referance to a higher version or incompatible assembly cannot be added to the project."
My question is that is there any way to implement such a functionality ("call without permission and end call without any interaction with user." )?
I tried to trigger click event in the shown Meaage Box when we try to call somewhere. However i could not doo it too.
Good news is i will not upload it to the store... It means i do not need it to be certified... Thanks...

This sounds scammy. Closing this. Feel free to PM me with any information to show it is otherwise.
Welcome to Part II of the basics of ROM building.
If you have not had a chance yet, please check out this link. This should be followed after all of the "files" are gotten from the first part of this Trilogy of tutorials. Okay enough Lord of the Rings, the true trilogy (nerd reference may be criticized below, I preferred the matrix until the third one lol) I digress.
So, we have the files we downloaded them, Red bull/Rockstar/Monster/Bawls, whatever your legal poison. Let's set up working directories.
Organization is critical to the development process. I mean, I only realized this after I started modifying. I mean wow, it was so much easier once I started to record notes and logs.
To begin, always go to a root of a hard drive
Create a folder called
Rom
Tools and then create a new folder called Smali and APKTOOL
Multimedia and then create a new folder called Pictures and Sounds
So we have created 5 folders, do you need 5? No. Do you need 20? It doesn't matter, do what you are comfortable with. It is about staying organized.
Take the ROM you have selected from the first Basics Rom Tutorial. I assume for (hint hint) simplicities sake you chose a DeOdexed rom version of the Sprint S3 MD4 rom. Freeza Thank you. It will be in a zip file
Called: MD4_update_FULL_DeOdex.zip
Rename it to MD4.zip, feel free to call it whatever you want (remember feel comfortable). I will refer to it as MD4 from now on for simplicities sake.
So you have 7-zip installed right? Uh Oh, check, make sure that is ready to go before we start.
I cannot go into that tutorial because....well come onnnnnnn is it really that hard to press next 10 times or less ?
Extract all the files to MD4_Version_1
Oh yeah, we will be making hundreds of versions if you want. Trust me later down the line, after each mod is good, you can just continue naming them in increments. But version control should always be implemented in case you mess something up. So the logic is:
Make 1 mod or set of mods, try mod, if it works keep using that version as your base version and keep going until you are ready to try it again. Mind you it is time consuming but the only way you truly learn this backwards art of reverse engineering.
So lets look at this disaster. I mean it's overwhelming so do not think you are King of the Hill or Any hill. Maybe a mole hill because this a very complicated system in front of us.
Let's analyze the anatomy, BTW, I do not even know what everything does or is, but by all means, ask questions and we will find out. A forum is meant to voice opinions and feedback to those opinions.
The root folder has 2 folders and 2 files
META-INF
system
boot.img
installbusybox
The META-INF folder is extremely important. It contains useful information about signatures and is very necessary for android to" say its official software" remember the idea of this folder, not its contents. I do not mess with this META-INF but there are so many all over the place down the road that we will need to know it plays an important role.
The system folder has every file that we are going to modify, we will hit this folder harder than a head crab being hit by another "delay" at Valve.
The boot.img is an important file for booting up android. We will not be touching that right now. Can you? Sure but hell, don't bother with it for this tutorial. If you know all about ROM mods like some of our bad-ass developers ( yes Cyanogen all of you are badass), Stop reading get to better pastures.
The installbusybox should be there for tools for ROM modifications. It is basically a set of functions that makes Android have teeth. I will not be using it right now but we can keep going. The best tools collected into one so do not delete or modify
Lets get to the meat, the big shabang, the wholy mole(for my Latin friends), the kabosh(for whoever knows what that is)
System
The sub folders are:
app: Contains all the apps that come with the ROM. Remember android operates by utilizing apps for different functions. Modify the files in here can be good and bad, we can make the best tweaks ever here or ruin everything. Be very careful, I have had boot hangs happen to these files
bin: This folder appears mysterious but it contains important files, the binary files. Complexity gets checked right here. This folder is extremely sensitive, I have not modified this folder just yet but when I feel like bricking my phone like a gravity gun dropping combine soldiers, I will get to this asap.
cameradata: Contains important files for camera raw data to JPEG conversion, I do not mod this folder.
csc: This is a jewel, it contains Consumer Software Customization. It has multiple XML files that can be edited and modified critical settings for various functions. Very nice to start your ROM customization here, but not the easiest, lets ease in with another folder first.
etc: This folder contains critical data storage. It has things like the hosts file which will allows you to block ads(cough cough, youtube) and many other files. This folder can brick your phone. Lets not get crazy here...yet
fonts: Pretty obvious, fonts for the ROM, oh and it requires True Type Fonts so contact your local free repository for those.
framework: This folder is an important folder, almost just as important as the app folder
hdic: Language files they are based off the first 2 initials of the language. Not affecting anyone if we are not trying to pinch each ROM's size down to the bare minimum
lib: Library folder, this has files with extension .SO, they will contain libraries of information for different functions. For example, how to take a "Best Pose" picture mode would have functions in this folder as well as other areas of the rom.
media: Contains the most obvious of sounds and a prime location for android universal sounds and bootimages. The bootimages is a touchy subject, the files are Samsung proprietary which makes them useless to us for modification, but we can make the puppet dance one way or another. The sounds, however, are key as we can isolate sounds when the phone starts up, or mute certain camera functions here, we can even make it sound like all of your favorite games(Yes I did, Mechwarrior boot sounds are acceptable, F.E.A.R. sound effects and some DOOM noises added for ambiance and of course Half life 2 noises for complete nerdgasm)
T9DB: This folder contains T9 predictive text in I believe 3 languages: English, Spanish and Korean, can you get rid of 2 of these sure, but expect problems if you decide later you need them. I mean they are not that large in size but at the same time, everyone has their own way of doing things
tts: This folder houses the Text to Speech programs. They suck. I am sorry but they do, SVOX is better, I love IVONA personally. I always like a british women to wake me up and tell me I am late. But that's me.
usr: This folder is not really meant for us to modify as it has to do with the keyboard layout, grammar recognition and customization. Realistically though, I use Swiftkey and call it a day. So do not hate me if I do not bother with mucking around here. It is useful to some I am sure but nothing I want to dabble in. But by all means, it can be useful for setting well Settings.
vendor: Contains library and binary files for certain features from the vendor, I would say camera related but I do not care for this folder just like people really hated the HEV suit announcing all of its amazing features, are you kidding me that was the best part. Yes I fell 100 feet, please let me know about my fracture and how this suit somehow repaired it. It might have well said "Oww". Nothing wrong with that.
voicebargeindata: From my understanding, Svoice related. No need to bother, that feature is about as useful as a Crowbar in a Gun Fight.
vsc: Version Software Control
wakeupdata: Acoustic and Grammar models contains several languages as well
xbin: Has busy box and Super User, a useful tool to become well super.
build.prop: Very sensitive file that is magical and detrimental. There is a lot of false promises on performance with this one. We will dig through this one carefully.
CSCVersion.txt: Should have the model number of your phone
SW_Configuration.xml XML file with more model number configuration
Please feel free to let me know what is understood or not.
This run down allows us to attack the appropriate folders for the next parts
Before we even begin with the complicated mods, let's attack the basic mods first.
The media Folder then go to audio, there is 4 folders
alarms
notifications
ringtones
ui
The first 3 folders you can place anything you want inside. They each correspond to the default ringtones you would like in the phone. I recommend using .ogg files or .mp3 files, you can use Audacity to modify your sounds. Sometimes the length of the sound plays an important role. Short sounds should be kept short for a reason. If you play a noise and its barely half a second, do not make it 4 seconds long because it will sound ridiculous longer than what is meant to sound. Taking a picture while hearing Puff Daddy's Come with Me can be quite awkward but hey its all about your ROM, your choice, your likes. Who the hell is going to tell you that you cannot have a sound of a crowbar whacking a headcrab while in the middle of a busy subway.....besides the police. This works similarly to the situation of ringtones, keep them full blown songs and I have noticed some lag. Do not be discouraged, but most modern phones end the call after about 30 seconds. This time limit has to do with how long the phone is takes to find the phone and ping it. Of course, I safely recommend 45 seconds of your song to cover yourself.
Take note that there are 3 files in these folders that are set to default (ringtone, alarm and notification). We can change that with the build.prop but that's after we mess with the ui folder that contains the User Interface Sounds.
Alert_on_call.ogg: An Alert when you are on call. This should be subtle noise
Auto_focus.ogg: Tricky one, I modified this, still makes an auto focus noise. Clearly a trick has been devised
Auto_focus_error.ogg: Same as above
Call_Connect.ogg: When the call first connects
Cam_Start.ogg: Video Recorder start noise
Cam_Stop.ogg: Video Recorder stops noise
camera_click.ogg: Camera Click noise
Camera_click_short.ogg: Camera Click noise
Camera_empty.ogg: Camera related
camera_focus.ogg: Tricksie this one is, mute and still makes noise, will discuss where noise is coming from
Camera_Timer.ogg: Timer for camera countdown
Camera_Timer_2sec.ogg: 2 Second timer
Charger_Connection.ogg: When you plug in your phone to charging port
Dialer_new.ogg: Tricky one will get to later
Dock.ogg: When you put the phone on dock, useful to distinguish from charger_connection.ogg
Effect_Tick.ogg: I have heard it whilst changing pictures but not sure
Highlight.ogg: I Silenced it, and "I dont know whhhyyy"( Can you guess which comedian said this line and if you know it say it in his voice)
HoverPointer.ogg: I Silenced it, and "I dont know whhhyyy"( Can you guess which comedian said this line and, if you know it, say it in his voice)
Insert.ogg: Google Voice Noise
KeypressDelete.ogg: Default keyboard, I do not use this
KeypressReturn.ogg: Default keyboard, I do not use this
KeypressSpacebar.ogg: Default keyboard, I do not use this
KeypressStandard.ogg: Default keyboard, I do not use this
Lock.ogg: When you press the power button and it instantly locks. This noise will play. Mechwarrior noise here
LowBattery.ogg: Doom low amm noise here to indicate I should have brought a charger becuase my battery is low
New_chat.ogg: Chat software related, I got rid of that junk but thats for another tutorial
PowerOff.ogg: Most people silence this as it is the noise that powers off the phone, I got creative here but you do not have to.
PowerOn.ogg: Most people silence this as it is the noise that powers on the phone, I got creative here but you do not have to.
S_HW_Touch.ogg: The HW indicates Hardware touch, basically the buttons and any touch screen action
S_SIP_Backspace.ogg: Backspace stuff
Sent_chat.ogg: See New_chat.ogg
Shutter.ogg: Silence this for sure if you do not want noise but really silence everything camera related here and it wont be 100%. So just do it
Shutter_multiple.ogg: Burst shot related
TW_Battery_caution.ogg: Any TW has to do with TouchWiz related actions. This one is for battery
TW_Call_Disconnect.ogg: The tricky thing is, some of these are controlled by another piece of software, this one is one of them
TW_Error.ogg:
TW_Silent_mode_off.ogg:
TW_SIP.ogg: Sounds like the default tapping sound for the rom's built in keyboard
TW_Touch.ogg: The default TouchWiz touch noise. Tricky little one this was as I had to verify there was no other location for the droplet noise, it turns out there is, so stay tuned as we dig into the apps and locate where the rest of the sounds are
TW_Unlock_Glass.ogg: Gallery Noises for file management
TW_Unlock_Puzzle.ogg: Gallery Noises for file management, not sure why I heard these exact noises in the gallery app other than they are linked
TW_Volume_control.ogg: The volume rocker button on the side, i mean logically there is only one choice, the Half Life 1 Medical Bay MedShot sound, okay maybe too annoying sure, but bada$$
Undock.ogg: Removing the phone from the dock that so few of us get because you know it doesn't fit my big case, or expanded battery or whatever. You know what, custom solutions are too expensive but trust me people do make the docks that accommodate bigger cases
Unlock.ogg: When you type in your Pin/Password/Pattern, the sound that it makes to unlock
VideoRecord.ogg: Camera video start recording noise, of course, I silenced this one as well
So this takes care of some of the noises, the problem is, Samsung software actually hides the rest of the noises. They are actually hidden away in the APK files in the system/app folder. Do not worry, in future parts of this Discovery channel special on Black Mesa, we will be investigating why they detonated a nuke in the first place if it didnt do anything to stop the invasion. I mean future parts of this series
So where do we go now? Well modify the sounds you want or add the ringtones you want. But something that I felt was important was that certain noises be set when I reboot my rom by default. No I do not want that stupid Samsung whistle! NO ONE DOES SAMSUNG!.
Lets set the default sounds on ROM start up, we will need to modify the build.prop file
This file contains an amazingly large set of instructions for the start-up of the phone and features in the phone. it is therefore, very sensitive to screw-ups. Hopefully, notepad++ was installed.
Navigate in Windows to the working directory of your ROM in our case MD4/system/ there is a file there that says build.prop
Let's open that up in notepad++, we should see some intimidating pieces of code or more like lines of text that tell the phone what and when to do something.
A caution to all, the build.prop has been synonymous with words like "increase performance", "maximize battery life" and other claims that are unfortunately sometimes not always true, for every mod someone makes to this file, someone traces the code to a Gingerbread rom that is useless on Jelly Bean, or an old reference to ICS(Ice Cream Sandwich),
I would highly suggest we not dabble too much on this. XDA has some great people who have found great information about the build.prop file. This link, user Chris_84 has put a great Wikipedia together on this so I will not try and explain each one. But there are so many other links that can show a post of good tweaks and bad tweaks and useless tweaks that I will not go into. Let's instead focus on our start-up sounds
The build.prop code we will scroll to with the ctrl+f button should be enough for us to get started is
Code:
ro.config.alarm_alert=
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=
Each of these do have a word after the equal sign, which means if you configure the correct file in the correct folder(hint hint) alarm, ringtone,notification folders we talked about earlier, all you have to do is add the name of the file exactly as it appears, please only use .ogg files here. MP3 files also work but you know just do it okay. I don't ask Alex why she never made a move on me, I just know she cant have a meaningful relationship with a guy who doesn't even say hi, that's a little creepy but you know and I know she loves Freeman alright.
As an example, just in case my rant did not make any sense,
let's say you put the following sound in the system/media/audio/ringtones folder kick_push_lupe.ogg
you would put in the code the following
Code:
ro.config.alarm_alert=
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=[B]kick_push_lupe.ogg[/B]
And that's how simple that is.
So you say you have ranted on too long. Sure I have, but that's not going to be the end here. We will be modifying the rest of this rom business in the more difficult lesson which is part III, that will take the longest because we want to have fun. And I still have some Freduian issues with my role model Gordon Freeman that I need to bring out. Anyway
Also, before I go, you might ask, how do you execute TEST BATCH ALPHA-TRON!.
Go Back to your Home Folder MD4_Version_1/. You should see the folders we discussed earlier
META-INF
system
boot.img
installbusybox
Select all of those files and right click the mouse button to get a context menu from 7-zip or WinRAR and click Add to archive. Make a ZIP FILE ONLY. You can choose to compress the file if you want, I just click fastest compression options available and proceed.
When the zip file is in hand, I take the file and put it on the SD Card root directory. When it transfers(in about 5 minutes), you can open the CWM (clockworkmod) recovery or the TWRP recovery and install the ROM. Sure I did skip some steps here on how you get these recoveries and the like but this tutorial is about ROM modification and the sort not the super basics, you need those to even be reading these. If you need to get those going, let me know in the comments and we can spool that up in part III.
I do not know how many parts this will take, but it is time consuming, i have to research this stuff and recall my notes. I know the spirit of the guide is in the right place but please be patient. I will not fail you Krypton(YES I LIKED MAN OF STEEL, let the downvotes begin, oh wait not imgur).
I appreciate all feedback, do not get me wrong, and I will work whenever I am free to add as many of these parts as I can. I do want to help anyone out who has their own twist on what they want their ROM to do. It is the least I can do to payback this great community and assist one person or inspire one idea. That is all it took for me to get going, the next part will also have a very heavy hand in taking code from other people for examples of mods. I want to say from now, I did not do any of these codes, I used common sense to implement somehow into my own rom mods. They deserve all credit as they are amazing coders/crackers/hackers/whackers/ whatever you name it they truly deserve the praise. I am just compiling their logic into our ROM that we are building together. And has anyone seen the YouTube channel Vsauce, that channel is AWESOME.
Again, thank you. Very, very helpful.

This is great. Man u really put this down in a way that is really understandable!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Appreciate it
Thanks guys, seems you are tracking my every word, I posted the other ones it seems you hit those up as well. Appreciate it and everyone, please let me know if something did not make sense, we got a great pool of people that can help out.
Android is losing me as a devotee.
If it's going to be as closed off, useless and buggy as iphone, I might as well get the ipieceofcrap so I can at least chat with other humans and not be shunned by females.
Sorry, Android users: These iPhone snobs won’t date you
Forget dreamy eyes the color of the ocean. For young daters, the color of text messages is all that matters. When people with iPhones text each other, their messages send in blue speech bubbles. Bu…

So... I don't know why or how but all of a sudden, Docs, Sheets, Keep and Voice crash immediately. All of a sudden = past month.
So, I finally got some time to see if I could fix it... I am on system reset number 4.
Reset #1 got Photos to work again, but that's it.
Anyone else having this issue.
Rooted, on 13, not my choice.

What root? Magisk?
If magisk
What modules for magisk? Anything in deny list? What do you mean "not my choice" do you not wish to be rooted, why not unroot?
Edit: Also the sun is not a reliable news source. They daily have android scare articles like the one you posted.

Magisk, yes. I looked through downloads (it's been months that it's been rooted and working properly) and I don't think I installed anything 'extra' with Magisk. I just imported the file, fixed it, flashed it.
I will have to recreate everything [I was going to when I got time] to remember all my steps. I will record them this time.
re: "Not a reliable news source." Yeah, nothing is a reliable news source. Do you have a different point? Do you dispute the findings of a news source that you have personally deemed not worthy to regard? What do you use to dispute this? Do you have a list of "your approved sources of news" so we don't have to do the back and forth? Do you not see how it is not productive to say something is not reliable and then just leave it at that? Either produce counterclaim from a source that you deem reliable, prove why they are more reliable or... ?
Edit: the shunning of females was a 'dry joke' that probably didn't translate well to someone that might be more concerned about that issue than I am?
