Root explorer wouldn't let me change the permissions on the ringtone :confused:
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
My notification sounds and ringtones stick.

Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
1. Always do a full wipe.

2. I use TB to restore only apps and data and never system data. I can choose ringtones from the 'default' android section as well as different folders. What's wrong with using TB? Been using it forever with this rom. No adverse affects other than the ringtone not sticking all the time.

3. I have pushed a few files from different themes. Used ninjamorph for the 4g icons in the status bar.

And like I said, it "sometimes" reverts back to a ringtone, that I did not select.

Let me ask, can you assign ringtones to different contacts and does that stick? I can assign the tone, but the default takes over, not the assigned one. I know it's not related, but I want to know.

PS: My notification sms ringtone "occasionally" reverts as well. I do reboot here and there, and notice that most times, the ringtone I set sticks. Not sure how to recreate it though.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Holy sh!t, you still haven't figured out ninjamorphing the 4g icon yet? LOL

Fine, I'll upload my file and you'll need to just adb push or use something like root explorer to move to the system/app folder. Just take note of your permissions of the file before replacing that file. You do know how to run adb right?

This file should be the file to replace the H icon. Also I think it's the APM too. Enjoy and you're welcome lol. Let me know if it worked.

I wish you were right. The stupid Quietly Brilliant ringtone isn't even in the system/media/audio/ringtones folder. So where the fuhq is it? I'll just replace it with a renamed copy of the tone I want.

This one? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22241419&postcount=505

Searching this thread for a specific thing shnizlon has posted is rather difficult...

If so, it's definitely got a modified resource.asrc.

VI 3.0.0 framework-res.apk/resources.arc md5: 0f41a9896f532445b2d206ae35cc52ec

Shnizlon framework-res.apk/resources.arc md5: 369787a1074669d6e8c2393c22df1f54

Is that a smoking gun? (Did shnizlon unintentially break something) Well it's not PROOF.

But I'd at least suggest that it's worth further investigation.

Perhaps a clean wipe and install minus that add on, then test your ring tones?

Sounds like TB isn't involved here.

I personally don't recommend the use of anything that overwrites anything within the rom. If you clean installed the apps off the market and THEN overwrite their saved data, you'd have the cleanest approach as any additional steps normally taken during install would definitely be taken, but I don't recommend even that.

Call me cautious.

I don't know what ninjamorph does under the hood to achieve it's goals of modifying system resources, but I can guess - and I wouldn't really trust it.

Yes it's _possible_ to modify the system binaries, libraries and compressed resource files in situ and have decent results, sometimes it's the only possibly way to go when you don't have access to the original sources for modification (just look at what RMK has achieved here with this rom!) but it's fraught with danger.

I can't tell you which of your add-ons has broken a system resource, but I am VERY confident that it is what has occurred.

Same advice as above, try a clean install minus your modifications and then see if you still have the ringtone issue.

It appears I can. Just assigned a custom mp3 to my wifes contact and it's survived a reboot.

Not exactly destruction level testing here, but it appears to work. ;)

I've not yet had any drama with any of my sound setup, and I would receive dozens each of emails, sms's and phone calls every day, not to mention my morning alarm going off.

My install definitely has /system/media/audio/ringtones/QuietlyBrilliant.mp3
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
Of course.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Mine sticks too, but does the assigned contact ringtone come through or does the tone you set as the default tone ring? Sorry wanted to be clear.
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
Yes, it's a known issue that per-contact ring tones do not work.
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
I thought as much but just wanted to make sure.

So all the ro.htc.chekin and ro.htc.appupdate entries don't actually do anything then? I'm assuming they would be safe to remove?

You can extract systemui.apk and settings.apk from this file and copy them to system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r--. But first you can backup your both files....just in case ;) just rename them to com.android.systemui.apk.bak and com.android.settings.apk.bak ..... ;)

I've also had this problem, but I've not installed any mods to the ROM. Ringtone was placed in the system/media/audio/ringtones folder but kept resetting to quietly brilliant. I noticed that this didn't happen if I used the power button/shutdown instead of the quick boot app, shut down.

Does the very quick off from this app cause brain damage to the ROM?

I uninstalled the app and the ringtone has seemed to stick since.

Root Explorer is so old school and it's a rip off. Use ES File Explorer. It's free, has a much better UI, can do everything Root Explorer does, and has a ton of additional features as well. Hands down, it's the best free file explorer available for root users (or probably anyone).

Just make sure you enable root access at the bottom of the settings menu. To change a file's permissions, long-press and choose "Properties" and you'll see the option there.

Did you find a fix to the first question "In the call log only phone numbers, not contact names come are shown" ?

In my case the majority are just the number but some are shown as names.. I hadn't bothered before now just missed some calls from my daughter and didn't recognise the number :-((

Installing this version of VI was from a superwipe then a clean install. I might have tried the full screen caller id App on this ROM, now deleted. However, I can't remember if it was on 3.0.0 or a 2.x.x version. Either way it's the only system related app/mod that's got close to VI.

ES File Explorer is awesome sauce.... #JustSaying....

Anyway.... Anyone else having this problem.... When an app such as TweetDeck or Issimo pulls an internal browser page to authorize say a Facebook connection... The app force closes... I thought it was an Issimo problem, but TweetDeck does it too....
[HTC Sensation] beston94:
Are you serious? ES File explorer being the best, free file explorer? Come on....I have been using Root Explorer since the beginning of my android experience. Which probably goes back to my HTC HD2 in 2009. And it has been nothing but a exceedingly fast file explorer, which has never gave me any slow downs. ES File explorer on the other hand is just slow..Maybe its just me.

But maybe its personal preference. Choose what you feel most comfortable with..

Something IPhone users will never understand...

I'll have to agree here as well. Been a LONG time Root Explorer user. Root Explorer is definitely faster and doesn't lag. I've tried out ES on a couple flashed roms that came with it, and I always end up back with Root Explorer. It's fast, simple, and can do whatever I need it to do. It's not free but I bought it like 3 years ago.. A dollar a year. lol.

This ROM with a bit of spice

I just wanted to share the thrill of using this ROM (Battery lasts double than on GB). Nevertheless, there were couple of things there bugging me. So I spiced it up a bit, hope that someone will find this useful. First thing first, I have replaced the AOSP dialer with cyanogenmod ICS dialer (looks and acts the same but HAS smart dialing). Second was message app that refused to search my Contacts (maybe because of the custom dialer). I have changed it with GoSMS that seems great. I avoided the lockscreen bug by installing BIG! caller ID. And last but not the least, it looks great with Beautiful widgets 4X1 Clock and weather.

Root Explorer does everything I need and has a nice clean interface. ES Explorer is good functionally but I find the interface a bit too 'candy'. Give me a program that works over a program that looks pretty any day of the week.
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
I completely agree, I find the clean and simply UI of Root Explorer more enjoyable to work with and it does everything a file manager should do. I don't understand why ES or Astro use such awful UI's.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The difference is ES is free while Root Explorer costs $4 dollars and ES can do everything that Root Explorer can. I've never really experience lag either, maybe because I view it in the list view.

ES can browse your network shares over wifi, can browse web servers, FTP and bluetooth as well, can extract sip files etc.. As far as root access with it its just fine. Im not sure where you're getting your info because there is no paid version of ES file explorer.

Im not sure what people mean when they say root explorer seems smoother but they both do the same job with the difference being ES does a hell of a lot more and dont cost a dime.

[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
You're installing it improperly, so stop. You need to put the .apk in the system/app folder using a file browser capable of writing to root folders, or push via adb, then change the permissions to rw- r-- r-- (User: r/w, Group: r, Other: r). Then reboot. Make sure you DO NOT have any other copies of the mms.apk or com.android.mms.apk in your system/app or data/app folders.

Now that you're properly armed with the necessary information, go fix your busted-up ****s.

Part Four, you remind me of someone from another forum...with the same avatar...did you drive a Mazda in your past life?
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Ugly? Maybe the default configuration. But, considering that it's appearance and layout can be customized to your liking, it's pretty evident that you've never really given ES a fair shot. And, laggy? Explain. When do you experience lag? I've never. Typically, the files we push and pull in and out of the root folders are quite small. Transfer times, even if they WERE slower, couldn't take more than a second or two. And, yes, I've moved/extracted/deleted/copied many large files and folders with ES and have never noticed any amount of "lag" (whatever that even means). Obviously, Root Explorer does the trick if you're not a power user and just like to push, pull and toss around files in root directories. And PAY to do it. But, for people like me, ES is a clear winner with its Local/Root, FTP, LAN, Bluetooth, and Web (i.e. Dropbox, SugarSync, Box) file browsing capabilities. Not to mention it also allows for access to multiple cloud accounts for each service. It's sure nice to have access to my work's, wife's, and four personal Dropbox accounts.

Yeah. What he ^ said.

It's your POV ;) if I don't use ES this doesn't mean that I'm a kid with his toy ;)
