Anyone try this on CM9?

Yup, that is what I am running. It's just a bunch of audio files, so very little risk of breakage.

are the sounds better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
Better in what sense? I am on CM9 which doesn't have a lot of media files so it just adds some more. I haven't gone through them all yet but some of them I found useful, so far.

If you know how tou use then:

-Must work with any phone...

-Must work with any froyo-GB-ICS...

-Must work with any ROM (Stock-Custom-CM7-CM9-MIUI-AOKP...)

Using Files: First extract ogg files from downloaded rar file...

Copying the ringtones into the SD card folder may enables the files to show up in the ringtones selection. If your phone can not play ogg convert them to mp3 with using any 3. party program...

For Samsung Phones: Coppy ogg files into the correct SYSTEM/MEDIA/AUDIO folders with any root explorer then RE-BOOT. And make sure set permission to rw-r-r by root explorer.

Converting ogg to mp3:Get foobar and Lame encoder - then drag the files into the foobar window and then right click on the files (select all), convert (to mp3), and walk through the prompts (you need to download LAME too - try freecodecs.com)

To get MediaFire working on mobile browser: Go to the browser menu, and select "Request Desktop Site-View". MediaFire should load fine now...Or use dolphin browser and select ipad as user agent...

How do I install this on my phone? I have a Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Obliterator:
For the ringtones just put it in the /System/Media/Audio folder of ringtones.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] UniqueNate:
I replaced the UI sounds and rebooted but I get that paper ripping sound when clicking on things (old android sound) and I was hoping I was going to get that water ripple sound like the S III...

Update: I fixed it. It seems the nice bubble sound was a notification sound and not a UI sound. I found that weird because in the SGS III reviews you would hear a bubble sound with every press on the screen (those are usually the Effect_Tick.ogg) which are UI sounds. Anyways, I just renamed the bubble notification sound as Effec_Tick and override it in the UI sounds using Root Explorer. Now I have my bubble sound.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] livetoskateaz:
so I went ahead and put the folders alarms,notifications and ringtones under the directory sdcard/media/audio and everthing is fine. I have all the notification sounds as well as alarm sounds and ringtones...

now for the UI files I went ahead and used root explorer and went to system/media/audio and copied my original ui folder and then replaced it with the new one...I have the unlock sound and lock sound working fine as well as the camera snapshot sound and a few others...i think. the touch sounds are the same and i noticed that there are files named keyPressspacebar, poweron and tw_volume_control. I do not hear these sounds when i perform the action on my phone...any reason why? other than that I cant complain and thanks for sharing!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] prking07:
It is a ui sound! Its called TW Touch.ogg in UI folder! ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bertorelli_m:
Original permissions

Hey, guys. What I did was went into the /system/media/audio and I moved the 4 folders (alarm, notification, ringtones, and ui) onto my Sd card just incase something bad happened. And then I moved the new versions. I set the audio folders permission to rw- r-- r--. and I left the 4 folders permissions alone. Was I supposed to change each folders permission? And if any one knows, what are the original permissions for the folders, thanks, because now, my ringtones are not working. Thanks :D

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chrisonline:
Is the Galaxy Nexus .ogg files compatible with ringtones etc.?

Or do i need to convert it to mp3?

Why do i have to copy the ringtones, alarms etc.. into the "SYSTEM" folder on Samsung phones?

On the sdcard there is a folder called media and audio.

Should work on this folder too i think?!

Or is the Galaxy Nexus not "Samsung" like?

NO, it won't be there.... ALl your apps and data will not be in this rom as we've not included the data folder data.ext4.tar (which is the one to store all your data).

SO, don't worry much about it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rittik:
Use titanium Backup to backup your apps and Some SMS backup app from market...many of them are available..Then after installing neW ROM just restore

em..thats how i do it :)

easy and simple

Check your framework-res.apk for errors...as well as...check your meta-inf...try with an unedited meta-inf...and also..dont forget to replace that xbin folder with the original one...from base rom...also delete lost + found folder taken from system.ext4.tar ...try everything freshly..dont make anything wrong in update zip packager..in options selection...u will surely get success..:)

After I did the nandroid backup and went my backup folder, I only saw a "system.img" file inside the other folder - no "system.ext4.tar" ...what should I do in this case?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jayrome876:
Oj-buddy, I am trying to follow your guide to make a custom ROM, but I find myself in a spot. You said that after I do the nanadroid backup, I'm supposed to go to: sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(dated folder which contains my rom) where I will see "system.ext4.tar", but that's not what I see ;these are the files I see: android_ secure.img, boot.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, sd-ext.img, system.img.....what should I do at this point?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OJ:
You should use latest CWM recovery for it.....

or you can also extract system.img with magicISO tool...

both system.img and system.ext4.tar are same files..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OJ:
You have 2 options for it....

1. Use latest CWM recovery and then try again...

OR

2.Extract the system.img with MagicISO tool....

As system.img = system.ext4.tar...

Just there packaging is different...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jayrome876:
Ok...I hope the latest CWM is stable

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OJ:
Hey..default wallpaper can not be changed by the method u r saying....I will tell u how to change it...look

Just take your ROM's framework-res.apk.

Open it with 7-zip.

Then locate to res\drawable and then u will see default wallpaper.jpg there...replace it with ur own wallpaper..and close the 7zip..

Then it will ask u to update the replaced file in framework-res.apk...choose yes..u r done...flash it in recovery...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] DeskayZ:
it's just example. how about settings preferences, or default theme? should use dsixda kitchen?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OJ:
U can only change default theme or wallpaper...(for default theme u cn use uot kitchen..)....but u can't change default preferences in any base rom..coz we r nt real rom devs..

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
At first hi, welcome to the XDA-community! Second, you are at the wrong place. This is the T-Mobile G1 section, but maybe I can help you. My opinion is taht you just stick to the orginal ROM, because it is a new handset with a good OS. BUT, if you still want to root your phone, go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1415223 Though rooting requires basic computering knowledge I give you 1 big caution:

Rooting your phone WILL void your warranty

As you have a new phone, you don't want to do that in case you let it fall and the screen is broken or such. This post does have a easy rooting method so it's dumbed up enough for beginners in rooting. Second step is getting a new ROM (OS, still android). The handset if fairly new, so there are not so many ROMs available. Just google around.

I hope this got you started!

Cheers and welcome to our community!

Just moved a 21 MB video file from My Dell Venue to Android A8.

Moved in secs via bluetooth.

Possible ways to solve above issue is:

Reboot your cell.

Pair with other device again.

Also check if the other device has enough space. (optional)

Had the same prob with my A8 not able to read Motorola Charm.

Had to reboot it.

Seems to be working fine now.Transferred 94mb file successfully.

Dont know what was the issue before causing it not to be able to send!

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
Hi,

As many of you know, especially those who use the Arc camera a lot, the ICS update did help with the compression issues on the camera, but for some reason also has INSANE ISO settings.

Even in great lighting the camera has an obsession with high ISO images, making many shots look ugly and noisy.

I was just wondering, how difficult would it be, and does anyone know how to, port the Gingerbread camera (perhaps one of the versions with lower compression mods) to ICS?

Many thanks :)
