you can do custom tones, ring tones as well, its not easy at all but its doable. you can setup different tones for different people too. A file explorer for what reason? what do you want to explore, bare in mind that all apps are sandboxed and cant see out side their own data folder anyway, youd only want to browse about if your in to modding it, which you cant do on WP8 at the moment, volume we have been over already, more custom tiles is the same as volume, you want to add a start screen image to a screen that potentially could be longer than the image and would have a very silly aspect ratio and is 75% covered in tiles that cover it up In the first place? and normal folk "want" this? if so they have no idea what it means

Look im not just being difficult, customer perception is my profession, and I can promise you that whilst these features may be nice for people on websites like this, they mean diddly squat to anyone else who just wants it to work

WP isn't Android, or iOS and it cant be compared to them, or even WM, its a totally different beast and is not meant to offer PPC like experiences, it must establish a brand that sets it apart from others, since most people couldn't give too hoots about these so called essential features, MS has restricted the ability to change a devices image to anything that may set it aside from the main image it is portraying. ill admit that custom tile colours could be added, but the real question is how to do that and make it easy for idiots that don't know anything about phones, but yes that at least is feasible.

More and more you see WP seeping in to society, the SMS tone is great, most folk don't change it and you can instantly recognise which people have a WP device (or probably does!)

Everything you have stated would be nice for us, but my job is knowing job blogs public and I can promise you that the vast majority of people really don't give a ****..

:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
I think he means the fact that WP came out nearly 2 years ago and MS has been feeding us this crap that it's coming. Okay it's coming when? most of the features that are missing we had on WM LOL. What is so hard for them to give us the option of custom notification alerts? Seriously?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
Hum? Can you share with me how to add custom MMS\SMS and email tones to my WP8 Lumina? That would be great. Wait now you’re confusing me first you say it's doable but then towards the end of your reply it says People don't change SMS, WTF? Also no one is trying to turn WP into a crappy Android (Android Sucks). But if you want to still be stuck with a boring phone that doesn't evolve and continues to look the same even 5 years from now like iOS then good for you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dazza9075:
I don't know about Wp8 as I don't have it but with 7 you can use Zune, trick is to change the genre to ringtones etc, having correct size and audio length. To be able to change the SMS tone which can be done and actually changing are two different things, there's no conflict there just your misunderstanding. You seem to be arguing with yourself, no one said They don't wan it to move with the times, what I have said is that moving with the times is exactly why much of what you ask for hasn't been added
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
You can change text tones? I can't find it , can you link me up?

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
Yes on WP7 you can via a hombebrew app and unlocked phone buy not on WP8. WP8 doesn't use Zune anymore by the way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Saiyaku:
have you tried putting on the ringtones folder a 38 seconds long mp3 @ 128kbps with its "genre" tag set to "ringtone"? (or "ringtones", i forgot) you don't need homebrew nor zune to do that; any mp3 tagger worth its salt will allow you to freely change that field

use your favorite audio editor (eg. audacity) to cut a 38 sec. sample, save as a mp3 cbr 128kbps, use a tagger or some audio player (eg. winamp) to edit its id3 tags, delete -just for keeps- the id3v1 tags if you can, edit the id3v2 "genre" tag to "ringtone", save, copy from pc, paste to phone, enjoy

a 38 ~ 39 sec. mp3 @ 128 practically guarantees that the file will be usable as a tone

[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
Yes, this is for ringtones but for ringtones only; there is no way that I know of to make a custom notification tone for a text, email or instant message. :crying:
[Acer Iconia A500] jenicun:
I am using windows 7, micro SD, micro USB- USB cable, TWRP 2.1.3 and Acer Iconia A500 WiFi only....

I want to get rid of it, using any methods.. Thx

STEPS i used :

1) Download a ROM of your choice

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2099804)

I used ACER a500 Slim 01-14-2013 (KTMDave7.zip) <-- for some reason didnt work for me in RECOVERY mode

used Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1_1333444737199_8ec8b991_decrypted <-- X didnt work also DUNNO WHY or it maybe just me ???

used Lightspeed_4.8 <-- SUCCESS

2) Put the *.zip on a microSD card of your choice.

PS: usually there is no problem using your FAT ( if your micro SD CAN'T read, try another micro SD )

on my case the 1st micro SD can be read in computer, but acer iconia A500 won't read

3) Insert in your a500's microSD slot (It takes up to 32GB. My 2GB is FAT32 formatted)

4) Start up TWRP ( by holding VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON )

PS : ENTER the recovery mode

5) WIPE Dalvik cache, wipe Cache, Wipe System

6) in "Mount Menu" Choose UNmount SYSTEM, UNmount DATA

7) back to HOME menu, choose "Install"

8) Browse to "/sdc/" <-- That's the EXTERNAL micro SDCARD folder

9) Select your zip file

10) REBOOT

11) WAIT

DONE!

apparently: Acer Iconia used almost of its update, and flashing ROM using EXTERNAL micro SDCARD
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
I'm failing to understand. Get rid of TWRP? Get Acer Recovery Installer, replace with stock or ClockworkMod. Its on the Play Market.

Warning: I've yet to find a CWM w/ Touch for the a500 ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jenicun:
i have no boot rom. my cwm is replaced "accidentally" with twrp by aCer recovery installer.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
Only. Suggestion I have is to install a rom via microsd and replace twrp with cwm with that tool. Or use adb tools.
[Acer Iconia A500] jenicun:
can you guide me step by step.

how to install via external microsd ? thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
If you're using the TWRP that my a500 has, here's what you do.

1) DOwnload a ROM of your choice (I like pjsports's 4.2.1, found in the next door a500 forum)

2) Put the *.zip on a microSD card of your choice.

3) Insert in your a500's microSD slot (It takes up to 32GB. My 8GB is FAT32 formatted, and TWRP will read it).

4) Start up TWRP

5) Go to "Mount" and check "Mount external SD" (and "System" just to be sure?)

6) Go back to main menu

7) Install

8) Browse to "/sdc/"

9) Select your zip file

10) Be sure to wipe your cache and dalvik :) I wiped my system folder too to be sure.
[Acer Iconia A500] jenicun:
can not mount SDCARD
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
I am unsure, then. Is there an error message?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Couple of things

I'd yr ext HDD is formatted as NTFS its never gonna work. If its fat32 mount as USB storage

Flashing an Asus ROM wasn't a good move either.

You're probably best to use a flash drive and use an update zip to flash. Check the root guide in my SIG for the 3.1 full update zip.

If that doesn't work youll need to recover your tab via an EUU...its all in the guide

---------- Post added at 05:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 AM ----------

Acer recovery installer only works for HC roms unless you have the v8 boot loader already.

Cwm 1.7.3 is a stable touch recovery
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
That can't be quite right. I rooted after the Ice Cream Sandwich update and installed it there. Unless... Yep. The root guide I used installed the V8. Sorry, I was mistaken. Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DNak206:
Been on an HTC Thunderbolt since it first came out and formerly being a flashaholic, you could say I just got used to tethering the 4G to my ipad2 and my other Android Tablets. However, this phone is dying..

Was thinking of grabbing a Droid 4 (miss the keyboard!), but found this: http://www.dailysteals.com/heist/6051/Samsung-Galaxy-S3-16GB-Verizon

Simple question, is this phone worth $369 refurbed? Can't afford to take an upgrade from Big Red and lose my unlimited, what are your thoughts on this device?

(1 click rooting, rom, kernel, etc)

Thanks in advance!

This is a great phone. Rooting and unlocking or flashing are easy. I dont know if i am allowed to put this on this page but i have an extra white 16gb s3 i will sell you if interested. I already have it unlocked and i can root it as well if you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dydigital:
Whatever u do dont get the droid 4 battery sucks. As for the S3 it is a great phone and I love it. Also you might want to check out the google phone. LG nexus 4 Its totally unlocked so you can use it with any carrier and quad core

Hi. I have some files that are not being shown in the external SD card when I view on the PC. I checked the files through root explorer and its there, its just not showing up on my PC? Please help. Thank you.

I'm running wicked v6 w/ ktoonz kernal
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
I would say that this is problem with pc. What system are you using? Do you have "show hidden files" option on (just google it for your system if you don't know how to turn it on)? Is there "." at the begining of the file like ".xxxx.yyy"?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ayeitschris:
Hmm. It seems that the only files that can be viewed on the external SD card on PC is the files I put on their from the PC. The files I downloaded on my phone are not being shown. Hidden files are shown on windows and it still cannot see them. The files are just zips apks and images, I don't understand why they are not showing up. tried on another computer, same result. Hmm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
Have you tried formatting the card and then coping files from phone to sd?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Galaxysm:
I don't own this phone. But I had the same problem with the s2. T989. All I did was power off the phone and took the SD card off let it sit for awhile then put it back in and the PC started showing everything again....hope this helps. I'm running slim bean.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kpeebler:
First I want to say I am fairly new to this. I love this ROM! I am having an issue though, everything seems to work better than advertised accept the WiFi. The signal is weak and it will only work in 3g. I have the SGH-T959V the Galaxy S4G. I can connect to routers but it will not pick up 4G. I Flashed Heimdall one click GB then installed CM9. the wifi would connect at all so I trie a few other ROMs that were versions of CM9 but no luck. I went back to the orginal CM9 and the wifi would at least turn on! I was able to connect to a router at that point but still 3g only. Any help would be great!! I also tried to flash different modems but still the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
There is no such thing as wifi 4g. Lol Either your are on wifi or you're not. 3g and 4g(h and h+ on cm based roms) are for the cell data network.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
Lol, that is some mushroom trip.

Hit the thanks button if it helps. It's my motivator to be more helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
I'm thankful for the humour that the Q/A threads cause me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kpeebler:
Sorry for the confusion

OK I agree sorry, my WiFi works but is weak and my cell network data is only coming in at 3g, It was at 4g before the Rom flash to CM9. Is there a reason it would not go back to 4G? Like I said it was fine before the flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Wifi has always been weak on our phones. The 3g/4g thing, the rom grabs 3g until it needs the data flow. Then, it would/should go to the 4g(h). Saves battery this way.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kpeebler:
Thanks for the reply, I do alot of streaming because I commute for work and it is not switching, I have not had it go to H yet, my stream has been choppy at best. I am thinking of wiping the phone and going back to GB stock then re flash CM9, I tested a few flashes before I landed at CM9 finally.
[LG Optimus 2x] TH3KiD:

is it okay or I am missing my 1gb? how to get it back
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceAzures:
So as title says I have a rooted Verizon Tablet and its romed and tweaked out for a pretty good battery life and performance. I plan on sending it up to my mom 16 hours away and she wants to activate the 4G because she has no access to wifi. Do I have to return it back to stock setting in order for them to activate the 4G? or can I just leave it the way it is now?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eejimen:
Is this the SCH-i905 and does it have a SIM card? If so, the devices should be good to go. What rom are you running? Can't you add the service for your Mom before sending it to her?

That is correct, and I do not have a SIM card. And we have separate plans too.

Sorry forgot to add the ROM which is CM10 Nightly

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ffolkes:
I don't have much experience, but it's super easy so far. The cardboard insert contains a fully functional tectile on it. Turn on NFC in Settings, then just tap the back of your phone to it, and it'll link you to the Samsung Tectile app in the Play store.

You can then erase and reprogram the demo tectile - if you're thrifty like me, you can peel it off (or cut it out of the cardboard) and boom, you've got yourself a 6th free tectile!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
TecTiles are Type A Mifare Classic 1k (1024 bytes) which is a nice size.

Size isn't really an issue if you use tasker in conjunction with NFC task launcher. The TecTiles app isn't bad if you only need simple tags.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dabears747:
Well that's cool for you and all, but they're actually $30 and pretty popular. You don't need to rain on everyone else's parade just because you prefer something different.

I don't like screen protectors, whether they be stick-on or built in like on the Otterbox. I like the feel of touching the natural screen. The flip case allows for that, while still giving the screen some protection from scratches. It leaves me confident enough to throw my phone in a bag, or put it in my pocket with other objects, or put it face down on an abrasive surface, without worrying about scratches. And it adds some flair and color. Paired up with the official Samsung case, it actually offers pretty good overall protection. And I can still just flip the case away and interact with my phone without a screen protector.

Different strokes for different folks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
You can just create your own profiles in the tectiles app then. Will Help save you some data space on those tags. I have one profile that has 10 actions but the app will only write one command to the tag to run that profile.

There is a subtle difference. Choice infers somewhat of a guarantee and a preference infers what you would like under some condition(s) (ie. Samsung has enough of that color and they choose to send you that color).
