oh ..but I do have english/arabic i mate ROM. but where I can get the origional Orange one if I needed it for Warranty issues?.any ideas?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] krale:
If you want to preserve the Rom you already have, for future needs, it is best to extract it yourself. There are posts in this forum about how to do it (never tried it myself), so do some searching and you should find it.

[Omni Q&A] BenG7:
:confused: Hi

[EDIT] my phone = I9300, OmniRom = latest (with a maximum of google apps disabled/alternatives preferred)

I can't quite figure that one out:

On

every

single system update, I lose my settings in terms of my custom ringtones, alarms...

I tried 3 different ways:

- I copied them into

System

/media/audio/ringtones & alarms --> after every update, my custom sound files cannot be found anymore and are therefore not available to select from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound

- so then I copied them into

sdcard

/media/audio/ringtones & alarms --> althought they remain there after every update, they are not available from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound

- so finally I copied them into

extSdCard

/media/audio/ringtones & alarms with the same effect: althought they are still there after every update, they are not available from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound

Somehow this looks like a bug to me...

Can someone please explain how I can preserve my custom ringtones after system updates?

Thank you VERY much

[Omni Q&A] jeffsf:
How did you copy them? It might be a selinux/permissions problem.

For reference, I haven't had any problem on my Nexus 5 (all internal ext4 with emulated sdcard) with

root@hammerhead:/ # ls -lZ /sdcard/Alarms/
-rw-rw---- root sdcard_r u:object_r:sdcard_internal:s0 Luminescence.ogg
[Omni Q&A] kl3:
/sdcard/Alarms, /sdcard/Ringtones, /sdcard/Notifications

Those are directories especially for custom sounds, which of course will survive ROM updates. Why don't you put them there?
[Omni Q&A] BenG7:
done just that: my custom sounds don't even show up (Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound), nor after a reboot! :(

honestly this is a major bug as far as I am concerned - I keep missing my phone calls as the ringtone will default to none, makes the whole point about having a mobile pointless!!!
[Omni Q&A] jeffsf:
Until you can give steps to repeat, that someone else can repeat, it appears to be a problem that is specific to your phone and configuration. If it were a significant bug, you wouldn't be the only one claiming it was impacting them.

Nothing personal, but unless you can replicate this on a fresh install, without additional software, and document how to repeat it, it likely will never be considered an OmniROM bug. One you can do that, a JIRA is perhaps the right way to raise attention on the issue.

As a note, opening additional threads will more likely get you labeled as whiner than get faster resolution. One is plenty.

Posted from whatever phone booted today
[Omni Q&A] BenG7:
Hi jeffsf

well I thought the steps were clearly detailed in my initial post?

The custom sounds I would like to set up as custom ringtones / alarms are snippets edited out of full mp3 songs (generally a loop edited out of the intro); If i use the default (boring) sounds provided, I keep my settings.

I first copied my custom snippets into System/media/audio/ringtones & alarms ; this works until I reboot following a new nightly update, my settings are lost; the ringtone is back either to the default one or to none (worse option as I miss my phone calls - I cannot work out a rule as to the default ringtone/none reset, sorry!); my custom sound files cannot be found anymore in the ringtones folder and are therefore not available to select from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound

My second attempt was then to copy them into sdcard/media/audio/ringtones & alarms ; although they remain there after the reboot following any new nightly update, the settings are lost from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound.

So my third attempt was to copy the snippets into extSdCard/media/audio/ringtones & alarms but it had the same result: although they are still there after every update, my previous settings are lost and the snippets cannot be selected from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound ...

After all these tests, I am even more confused; I do not know/understand for sure what folders Android uses primarily / secondarily for ringtones / alarms...

I do get the point! Not my intention to whinge but as explained, there is not much point in having a silent phone!

First I asked a question (support); clearly no working solution can be provided

so I take it to the next level: software correction requirement (indeed JIRA can be the software to use for this - this is actually what I am using at work!)

Or the solution is to choose another rom, shame really...
[Omni Q&A] jeffsf:
Your observed behavior is clear in your first post, so there is no reason to repeat it. It adds no information by doing so.

A tiny snippet of new information. But still, you haven't identified what format you are using on the device or how you are copying the files into the directories you are using, only on your source.

Or clearly it isn't a problem with the ROM. If it were a general problem with the ability to set and retain ring tones, there would most likely have been at least one other person who reported similar problems as you.

Unless you can replicate this (a) from a clean install, (b) without other software installed, (c) using a directory intended for the function, (d) clearly identifying how and where you have set the ring tone, and (e) how you updated, it most likely isn't a ROM bug.

GIven that this isn't impacting anyone but you from what I can tell, I would look at your own software, configuration, or use as the most likely cause.

Note also that two people in this thread have already clearly identified directories for these files that do not have the issues you mention.
[Omni Q&A] Neferth:
unsupported audio format?

Hello,

I built omnirom from last sources and I I was in the same situation. My mp3 wasn't recognized anymore (regression? developper choix? I don't know)

Workaround: I converted them into ogg format, and it works like a charm (on my HTC Explorer).
[Omni Q&A] BenG7:
Hi

Hey, for the first time I realise yesterdays nightly (20141030) solved this ongoing issue I had given up on:

it preserved my custom ringtone and alarm and I did not need to reset my ringtone & alarm after the update as I do after EVERY SINGLE update - a pain really!

Please keep it as such - thanks A LOT

cheers

[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Nothing has been changed that would affect this.

Also, you probably stopped getting responses because your responses were inconsistent. Post 3 provided the standard location where these files should be placed.

In post 4 you claimed exactly that, EXCEPT that in Post 6, none of the directories in post 2 were in your list of things you tried...

In the end it really doesn't matter. Your device is getting dropped with L as it hasn't had a maintainer in months and there is no one to fix I9300 issues.
[Omni Q&A] BenG7:
I can only report it works now.

Post 1 were the initial steps I took

I did as advised in post 3 ; this was post 4

Post 6 was only a repeat of post 1, not including steps from post 4, but these were carried out too, to no avail too.

Just forget it now.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yamenstein:
So my phone recently broke and I have the choice of buying the i9500 or the i9505 (they are both the same price). I just can't decide on which one is better. I know that power wise they are near the same, at least you can't tell the difference, and I have also read that hte i9505 has a slightly better battery(?).

After checking the forums here for Andoird Development for the two phones, it's easy to see that i9505 has MORE threads and therefore most likely more roms made for it. Though are the roms better quality wise? I know that most roms can be found on both phones as well.

I guess I would just like some advice on which one would be better. I plan to put several roms on my phone throughout its life. So would I be better of buying the i9505, or the i9500? I am current leaning towards the i9505 (I have just placed it in my cart to purchase). But am hesistant because I don't want to pick the "worse" phone. I know people who use whatever phone will say that, that phone is the better one. I guess I'm hoping that some logic will sway me. Any help would be appreciated - especially from people who make roms, or just customize their phones THAT much.

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
For me, i9505. Roughly the same processing power, but the i9505 has a little bit better battery life, LTE and better AOSP ROMs than the Exynos-based i9500.

BTW, there is a section for Q&A. I've reported the thread and the mods will move it there shortly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] largeruk:
Hi to all

I hope one or more of the very knowledgeable people out there can help me. Have a qualcomm SM-N9005 32gb European SIM model which was in a constant boot loop. Ocassionally, it would get to the the set-up screen but always go back into its loop boot once a few key presses had been made. It was on one of the 4.3 roms at the time - don't know which one.

So I put in it into download mode, flashed the stock 4.4.2 N9005XXUENB7_N9005OXAENB1_BTU rom via odin and this has solved (most of) the boot loop issues.

However, the phone is now showing as having:-

no IMEI

no baseband

no sim (despite there being a working sim in there).

If I go back into download mode, it seems an additional line has been added to the several that show at the top after flashing the stock Kitkat rom - this is "UDC START".

I don't have an EFS backup so can't restore that to get the IMEI/baseband back.

I am at a loss. I have tried a hard/factory reset - no joy. I know this kind of problem has been reported in the past and I have looked at many threads but no-one seems to have exactly the same problem and not many successful outcomes.

Can someone please give me a 'dummies walk through' of what to do - my phone expertise isn't the best, as you can see! :(

Many many thanks to anyone and everyone who can help.

Same thing happened to me. Its due to your phone being rooted and having a custom recovery. The pushed OTA update uses the stock recovery which your phone no longer has which leaves you in a bootloop. You can restore a backup if you got one or use LG Flash tools to go all the way back to stock

Hey all,

I'm currently testing out the Beta 2 version of Microsoft Office Pro +, and apart from this issue I'm impressed so far...

When I create a calendar appointment, or task with Outlook, any details that I put in the notes section of the item used to (with Outlook 2003) transfer over to the PPC Calendar and Tasks to be able to view and edit.

But now it's blank. It copies the appointment, the times, whether it's busy/free etc, but refuses to display any of the details that I put in the notes.

Is there anything I can do about this, or is this a glitch with the new software and it's tough? I'm using a HTC Uni (T-Mobile MDA Pro), so posted it in the Universal Board, as don't know if it's a General issue with all devices or just this one.

WM6, Vista, Office 2007 Sync Problem

Hello,

I've just upgraded my Universal (O2 Exec), to jwrightmcps' 2.02 Version

Windows Mobile 6.

While on my desktop I'm using WinXP +AS 4.5, and Office 2003 without a problem .

However, on my Laptop (ThinkPad T43), running Windows Vista Ultimate (+Windows Mobile Device Center - The equivalant of ActiveSync), and Office 2007, I'm having problem syncing the device.

I don't get any error on the laptop, but get an 0x8000FFFF error on the device.

None of my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes etc. is synced in either way.

any one got the same problem?

it is obvious that the combination is the problem, as I didn't experience any problem before upgrading to Vista. (WinXP with ActiveSync 4.5 + Office 2007 worked fine).

any ideas for solutions?

Have you updated your version of WMDC - there was an update a month or so ago. It's referred to in one of the threads on Uni Upgrading.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlingo:
Bad bad bad!! I'm using final version of Vista, Final version Office 2007, Just downloaded WMDC last week and Dopod 900/universal Windows Mobile 6 Jwright.

if you open outlook 2007 and then write your contact and then in notes just write something.., after you finished synchronizing, the contact was successfully copied onto the Dopod 900, but the the note didn't get copied!

If you write the notes within the contacts under Dopod 900, and then synchronizing it, the note within contact would be copied back onto computer with no problem. so it's only the other way around the problem

Also I have a second problem: Whenever I leave my Dopod 900 synced connected with my laptop and when there is a phone call coming in then I proceed to unplug the usb to pick up the phone, This may result in some sort of data corruption in syncing status, I think. Because after that, when I try to re-synhronize the dopod 900 again, it would try to synchronize from ground 0, so it would delete every synchronized data such as contacts, tasks, calendar in my Dopod 900 and re-transfer from desktop computer into this device all over again.

Try to use AS4.5 as much as possible.

Is this real?

You can't use AS 4.5 with Vista and it doesn't sync correct with Office 2007 otherwise? If that's right that is a classic Microsoft snafu.

Works fine for me with Xp and office 2007 though, on AS 4.5.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlingo:
Yes it's very real. AS 4.5 not working under Vista.

Anyhow, I bought HTC Athena today and the problem didn't happen with HTC Athena. So perhaps it's device specific.

Hey Guys,

Does the M8 support multiple color LED notifications, ie Blue for Facebook, White for SMS, Pink for e-Mail using the app lightflow or something similar?

Generally you need to have Root and installed some Apk/app like 'LightFlow' from the play store.

Such a small feature but a big impact for me to be able to tell what notifications there are from a distance or in a meeting with out waking up the phone.

Im keen to buy a HTC M8 tomorrow if it supports this, if not ill wait for the S5 next week.

Hi all,

I have a HTC Desire at hand with following facts:

- no ROM installed

- I am able to go into fastboot or recovery (Team Win Recovery)

- I cannot flash any zip file from recovery - right after flashing system says: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")=="bravo" (this is repeated for two times). E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/MildWild ....

- I was told, that it was rooted device, but somebody wanted this phone back to origin state and run the RUU (not sure which version).

- what I see in bootloader is following:

Alpharev Unlock

Bravo PVT4 S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.9999

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-4.05.00.11

Aug 10 2010,17:52:18

Question is now, how can run the RUU, lets say, we want to have this phone back to the origin state. (I find out in cmd, that it has CID= O2___01.). Can I somehow repair this?

I appreciate your help.

Thanks

EDIT:

I followed BORTAKs guide (assuming there was wrong RUU). I flashed stock HBOOT and run RUU (RUU_Bravo_O2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865). Everything went to the end. But phone cannot boot again. There is only O2 logo at start and nothing more. After some minutes, phone is turned off. Please, help me.Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Try the 2.3.3. GB RUU instead, that should get it booting.

If you still want root and a custom ROM, there are several reasons why it may not have flashed:

- You didn't have an hboot properly installed (because it said Alpharev Unlock)

- You didn't partition your sd card

Assuming you flash the 2.3.3 RUU successfully, if you still want a custom ROM I'd recommend:

- S-OFF using 'revolutionary'

- Flash 4EXT recovery using fastboot.

- Backup sd card

- Partition sdcard (maximum 2GB ext4, no swap)

- Full wipe ('wipe all partitions except sd card')

- Flash ROM

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Search for HTC Desire 2.3.3 GB RUU, you'll find it eventually.

Things to check. How did you flash stock hboot, and did it flash successfully? On the top of the bootloader screen it should say Alpharev Stock instead of Alpharev Unlock.

Then try running it again.
