[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan7825:
I have 2.3.3 running well, or at least pretty well, but I want to add some of my MP3 tones to the phone. The ringtones are is the root/system/media/audio path and I was wondering if there is a post explaining how to add to the notification and ringtone folders. I am from WinMo and this is my first android. I loved flashing my Tilt and found droid to be easier to work with.

Any help or direction would be appreciated. I have searched but didn't find a How To.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdub5:
I just use a ringtone maker app from the market. Not sure if your looking for something more than this, but there's a bunch of em. They work with all the music on my phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan7825:
I already have the tones download to my sd card and I can move them around EXCEPT for putting them in the system subfolder in the root directory. When I copy and paste my existing mp3 tones, they fail when pasting to the Notification folder in the System folder.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyopstt:
/system/media/audio and all of the sub directories (notifications, ringtones, alarms on the phone are mounted as read only. If you want to copy your own tones into those folders you need a file manager app that has root access like root explorer, or es explorer.

Using Root explorer, navigate to the /system/media directory and toggle the file permissions from r/o (read only) to r/w (read write). from there you can use root explorer to copy/move your custom tones to the folders.

another way to include custom notification/ringtones is to make a folder in the phones internal SD called /media/audio/notification /media/audio/ringtones /media/audio/alarms and put your tones there. This method does not require root access.

Hi

I really want to buy this Game for the transformer but not sure if it will work,

In the market it does say Motorola XOOM - Scaling issues,

So does that mean the transformer will also have the same issue,

Also if I buy the game for the transformer does that also mean I can install it onto the galaxy or would I have to buy it again...

Cheers
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HorsexD:
If IT Has problems with the Xoom then it Will probably Have problems with the Transformer. IF you buy anything from the market then You can play it On any Device as long as your logged into the Same Gmail Account and Its Bought From the Android Market. If you mean Gameloft then You can Download it as many Times as you want from an online account I believe but Idk If it only Gives you a single Version of it. I.E If you Buy a Xoom Version You Might only get Xoom Versions of the Apk. Im Not Shure on that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
I have the game and it runs fine with no scaling issues in game or in the menus (two company logos aren't scaled properly when the game first loads). There are some touch issues in the menus but the game itself controls fine and will work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] acid123:
Cheers,

Going to buy it today....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Codiox:
but the game is really lame,save the money for other things
[Eee Pad Transformer General] acid123:
Just got the game and works great,

It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I like it..

Cheers for the help...

I deleted the fota files and some unwanted apps,but also deleted something that is not allowing me to install any apps :(...Not sure,what that might but phone works fine. Installed apps also work fine....wondering what might have gone wrong! :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Did you replace the fota files or just delete them? Are you sure you have the room necessary for the files to install?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] didadi:
I replaced the fota files,with the 2 (that I downloaded from other thread). I do have enough space available as I've deleted bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
what rom are you using

sounds like the permissions are off

what did you delete bloatwise?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] didadi:
stock ROM....bloatware deleted a bunch of Tmo apps,like TMo tv, etcetc..

Mostly I might have deleted something thats required for app installation?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yea probably, its always best to go with a bloatfreezer so if something fails you can defrost it and have it work again

sorry buddy sounds like you have to use odin again or flash a not stock rom with CWM
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] didadi:
Hmm, Ok - it says

"Installation error" Unknown reason - 110. If that gives any hint :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
it does, you definitely removed something needed :D its all good i did that the first day i had the phone when i was a noob

just use odin and reflash then try again :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Please post in General thread next time. :D

Also which bloatware did you delete?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mr. Clown:
You should listen to the poster above me ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] didadi:
thanks :-) Used ODIN to reinstall.., with CWM enabled already ;-).

Read more about "fota" etc on the forum.Thanks a lot. Now I'm ready for some new ROMs ;-).

1) Open up Dev Tools

2) Go to Development Settings

3) StricktMode Visual Indicator - turn it off

4) back out of app and now open it again.

5) If this doesn't get rid of MOST of the red borders, REBOOT and open app again.

First post, but I believe I have done due diligence in reading up on this issue.

I really love reading the posts and have found several of them useful, but I just haven't done a lot of posting... until now.

Does anyone else hate that stupid Sprint 4G animation????

I recently flashed MikG and the only thing that I don't love about this rom is the boot animation. It has the standard Sprint animation. I see there are plenty of other cool animations, so I wanted to update this.

I went and renamed the sprint spc_bootanimation.zip and have placed several different boot animation zips in the system/customize/resource folder (one after the other). Sprint animation goes away, but no matter which version of the bootanimation.zip I put in it's place, I get the same results. My boot animation is always a black screen with small light letters on it spelling "android". There is kind of a cloud animation scrolling behind the letters. Always the same no matter which bootanimation.zip I put in place.

I've tried the adb push method, the boot replacer program, and just copying the file to the proper location (several different files in fact) (using explorer v1.0 folder is mounted r/o) with the same results. I found a cool one on the collection page that was flashable, but it ended up having an error in the code and aborted.

Gotta get rid of that Sprint sales advertisement and get some cool looking animation that you guys have cooked up!

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

As per the instructions charge it for 8 hours with the OEM charger and cable. Charging via the USB is pretty worthless. The charger is rated at 1.2 Amps at 15 volts. A USB port is .5 Amps at 5 volts, way less.

You need to install the Windows drivers to have ir recognized.

how do you do a hard reboot and will it erase my regular nooks stored stuff
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bike2002:
First thing first, what kind of microSD disk do you have?

A Sandisk 4/8/16/32 GB class 2/4 microSD is highly recommended.

Other brands may give you problems.

Second, which nightly or stable CM7 do you have on the microSD disk?

Please give us the specific number like "nightly #101" or "stable 7.0.3".

And if you have OC kernel, which one?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chad11:
I have a Wintec 4G and I don't know the class. I have the 7.0.3 stable version
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bike2002:
It may be wise to get a Sandisk 4/8 GB class 2/4 disk for this build.

8GB disk gives you more room to store stuff later on.

After you have the Sandisk, check to see if you have all these pieces:

-- generic-sdcard-v1.3.img

-- gapps-gb-20110307-signed

-- update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed

Follow these steps to prepare your Sandisk:

-- use WinImage/Win32Image/win32diskimager to restore generic-sdcard-v1.3.img onto the Sandisk

-- copy the other two files (gapps-gb-20110307-signed and update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed) onto the Sandisk

Now the final steps:

-- power off nook color

-- put the microSD in the nook color

-- power on nook color

Let us know if you have any problems.

Good luck.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chad11:
thanks but I thought you had to run cm7 first to set up wifi before putting google apps on it
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bike2002:
Either way will work.

This way you do not have to power off/on the nook color again.

What you need to do is to skip google account setup twice the first time around, and go ahead to set up you wifi first and then back to account setup (in settings) to set up the google account.

After all these, then you may want to reboot your system.

[Continuum Android Development] sportsinger75:
So I'm attempting to root the Continuum, but for some reason the phone won't effectively connect to Windows 7. For example, when I hook the phone up to my Samsung i7 laptop, all the phone does is charge. It doesn't even ask me if I would like to use usb storage or anything. The computer also doesn't recognize the device. Any ideas? Thanks!
[Continuum Android Development] ExNukeSquid:
A couple questions first:

- Did you install the Continuum drivers?

- Does your phone bring up the USB connection in the status bar?

- Does it bring up the Verizon VCast website on connection?
[Continuum Android Development] sportsinger75:
1. I likely did not install the Continuum drivers, and I have no clue where to get them. I'm assuming Samsung's website, but it's a bit hard to figure out and navigate...

2. My phone does not bring up the USB connection in the status bar.

3. When I go to the browser, it brings up the Verizon website with news, etc.

It should probably be stated as well that this phone is not activated. I am using it on wifi only for the time being because I traded it with a friend for another phone.
[Continuum Android Development] sportsinger75:
Alright, so I've figured it out. Strangely enough, I was just using a generic USB to microUSB cable, and I actually needed to use a Samsung cable. Weird, right?
[Continuum Android Development] sportsinger75:
So...now that I'm rooted, how in the world do I install a custom rom? I saw that there's a ClockworkMod Recovery out, but what does "Odin" mean? I'm coming from an LG Optimus V and have extensive experience rooting and installing custom roms and recoveries, but I've never heard of that before. Thanks again!
[Continuum Android Development] ExNukeSquid:
First, we dont have much for custom roms on this phone. The couple we do have contain fairly well written "how-to's" for them.

Second, if you are not sure, do some research and find out as many answers with the vast pool of knowlendge at your fingertips (the interwebs) as you can. There has already been a swarm of questions asked, and I am sure the answers may already be there for you.

I am waiting for the update and Froyo roms to come out before I bother with custom roms, but I am not holding my breath for that. I will probably be on my next Android phone before I will bother. Modding it up with Widgetlocker, ADW Launcher, and some other goodies at the moment to tide me over.
[Continuum Android Development] Snow02:
I had this same problem today. USB mass storage wasn't working, adb wasn't working. I wasn't using the samsung cable, but I can't see how that would make a difference, as the cable I was using has worked for literally a couple dozen different phones from different manufacturers - including other samsungs. I had the samsung drivers installed.

The owner claims that only media sync works on his computer as well, and that usb mass storage has never worked. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
