It will delete most of the notifications, ringtones and alarms. You can update to lite rc33 or just delete system sounds, either method works. If you need the default sounds for your sd card here they are

thanks guys, just wanted to make sure.
[G1 Android Development] chamelieon:
where on the SD card do they get placed so the system recognizes them?
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
I just placed them on my card in no particular subfolder and it recognized them.

Soo whats the difference between this and the original rc-33?

Up to date 1.42 RC33 Lite, which will remove stock audio. Everything else is left the same.

System audio is removed, everything else is the same.

Everything else is the same, minus system audio.

Removed is the system audio, remain the same is everything else.

Audio(sounds) removed, no other changes.

Make sense? Read the OP
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
Wow, you got problems. So if the only difference is the audio and you put that on your sd card then whats the point? point of forums is to ask questions you know
[G1 Android Development] rjscott2005:
As was posted earlier in this thread removing the audio adds storage space on the phone. By downloading the audio separately from the RC33 and installing them onto your SD card the space is still free on the phone. I'll take a somewhat educated guess and say that if you add the audio files to your SD card Android will find them and use them without transferring or copying them to the phone memory. Of course I could be dead wrong...
[G1 Android Development] gottifour:
Sooooo...will this remove the system audio?

[G1 Android Development] Sandhawk:
Usually people get flamed for not searching the entire board...but your question was answered in the original post, and again on post #9

Any way to remove the audio without upgrading?
[G1 Android Development] gottifour:
I just did it by following these directions...

-Go to terminal emulator

-Type

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm -r /system/media/audio/ringtones

rm -r /system/media/audio/notifications
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
Okay cool, thanks!
[G1 Android Development] gottifour:
No prob..and just to let you know I just installed buff theme and it works great

I'm using jf1.42rc33mod incase you were wondering.
[G1 Android Development] The Great NY:
hmmm.........ever since i converted to the lite version.......

when i go into setting and sound&display and select "Notification Settings" i get the error force close application has stopped unexpectedly

is that because there are no more sounds? if i add some sounds to the sd, will it find them? what format should they be in? wav or mp3
[G1 Android Development] gottifour:
I installed rings extended from the market and use that as my defult. Thats what pops up when I go to setting-sound and display-notification ringtone. I also downloaded the original ringtones in the first post and put them on my sd card. Seems to be working fine so far.
[G1 Android Development] yellow heel:
Cant u just adb and remove the ringtones? or will this not work? just figured ou the sdk today so thought it might possible.
[G1 Android Development] gottifour:
This worked really easy for me. I always have a hard time with adb for some reason.

-Go to terminal emulator

-Type

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm -r /system/media/audio/ringtones

rm -r /system/media/audio/notifications

are you familiar with using the terminal emulator on the phone?

but I'm sure you can use adb if its easier.
[G1 Android Development] The Great NY:
well i reverted back to the regular JF 1.42 RC33.........

i was getting a force close every other time i used any program and some programs stopped working all together. so i'll do it the manual way. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
You can back up the entire media structure with adb (to be placed on your sd card) with

adb pull /system/media media

This will grab the entire /system/media/* keeping the files in the same subdirectories. You can then just copy that media directory (found in your /sdk/tools directory) to your SD card, and voila - stock sounds on your SD card.

Well, for one thing, you should probably leave the stock directory structure. So instead of

rm -R /system/media/audio/ringtones

throw it

rm /system/media/audio/ringtones/*

this will just remove the files inside, leaving the directory/folder behind.

repeat for notifications

rm /system/media/audio/notifications/*

and

rm /system/media/audio/alarms/*

of course only doing these after remounting your /system as read/write. So the process would look like:

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm /system/media/audio/ringtones/*

rm /system/media/audio/notifications/*

rm /system/media/audio/alarms/*

or if done via adb:

adb remount

adb shell

rm /system/media/audio/ringtones/*

rm /system/media/audio/notifications/*

rm /system/media/audio/alarms/*

I have removed my stock sounds since RC30, and replaced with my own sounds. I have never had a force close from doing so. I bet that is because I left the directories where they should be, I am sure the system tries to access those directories - and that is why it throws out errors.
[G1 Android Development] jrherras:
Quick question I dunno if someone asked this already. If I update to 1.42 rc33 lite from 1.41 rc33 lite do i have to do the symlink again for my apps in the sd card? or I dont have to do anything after update?
[G1 Android Development] d0nkey:
so what does this do exactly?
[G1 Android Development] gottifour:
What does what do? The lite version?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
this is old news .. but unless you WIPE the phone with ALT+W at the boot screen your links remain intact .. the lite version here is removing the sound files from /system (mtdblock3) to make room .. this has nothing at all to do with /data (mtdblock5) or any other part of the phone .. if you do:

#busybox df

you will see where and how the mtdblock* files are mounted into the system and they all register their own unique space .. /system shows 100% full and has little to no room available .. depending how many apps you install /data will show anywhere from 10% to 90% full

doing any update.zip will write over the /system and whatever changes made to /system will be undone by the update.zip .. if you WIPE with ALT+W it resets the /system and /data both to the defaults and thus the changes are undone
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
and before you do this you can do:

#busybox cp -r /system/media /sdcard

now you have the files copied to the card .. when you reboot the phone those files will be accessible thru the system under ringtones, notifications, etc .. then after you delete the files you will have more space under /system
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
So I did this...

-Go to terminal emulator

-Type

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm -r /system/media/audio/ringtones

rm -r /system/media/audio/notifications

...and the ringtones/notifications are still there. I can't see them in Astro(don't know if theyre hidden) but they still come up in Settings>Sounds and Display.

EDIT: Nevermind, I didnt realize the phone would automatically pick up the stock audio from the sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
did you reboot?
[G1 Android Development] Antilabel:
What did I do wrong?

What if I want to put a ringtone I made into /system/media/audio/ringtones? How do I do this? I tried to chmod that directory, but "Bad mode" was returned? What did I do wrong?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
first .. there's no need to try this .. second .. there's limited available space on the /system for more files

/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

that's where they go .. and the system will see them
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
There is actually a reason to store ringtones on the internal /system memory. Do you have more than one SD card? I do... if you have more than one SD card, try something (see if it only affects me!).

1. Duplicate your sd card structure - same media files - same directories.

2. Set your ringtone to one that is on your SD card.

3. Swap SD cards.

4. Check your ringtone setting.

For me, this results in my ringtone being set to "Unknown", including those I set for my individual contacts, etc. I have attempted to store my ringtones using a sym link on the /data partition, wouldn't go. So, my only solution to this issue is to store my most used tones on my /system partition. This way I can put in another SD card (to watch some tv episodes - I have 40GB of shows to circulate through) without loosing my custom sounds.

If you get different results, let me know, maybe there is something else at play here. I have tried numerous times, with several SD cards (I have four right now). The directory structure is identical (I copy/paste it over from one to the next), my cache's continue to work properly with the swaps. Maybe the volume name for the sd cards need to match (not sure I tried that) - doesn't make sense though since they are just /sdcard to android.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
have you tried inserting the same card? i'm thinking once the card is ejected you lose it no matter what .. so if you would rather .. just delete the sounds files that come stock and put your own on the /system .. as i said .. there's limited space available under /system

to write to the /system you MUST make it writable:

$su

#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

now you should be able to manipulate files:

#rm /system/media/audio/ringtones/*

this would delete the existing ringtones
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
of course when I put the original sdcard back in the tones are correct, but my issue is with using other sdcards...

oh and I have my own tones, a custom theme and 2MB free on my /system (I removed some stock apps).
[G1 Android Development] yellow heel:
Damn!! how did you get 2mb of free mem on /system?? I deleted all the ringtone/alert but I am still at 100% full!! Of course I was playing around with the icons but still I just changed the icon and I'm already filled it up.

Can anyone suggest a remedy?
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Actually, now that I installed Fade to Blue, I have 3MB free on my system partition. My secret, I removed stock apps I would never use:

Alarmclock

Email

com.amazon.mp3

IM

I also compressed my ringtones myself to a very low bitrate ogg vorbis, since they are only playing back on a mono speaker the quality can be low with no discernible difference. And my audio directory takes up 3.16MB now.
[G1 Android Development] alisyed1117:
will all of my apps be deleted? im on modded rc33
[G1 Android Development] blackknightavalon:
I did everything mentioned in Post #23 (and even tried it via busybox) but I still have duplicate postings of ringtones that I can't just seem to get rid of. For example, "Beat Plucker" 1 will play the stock ringtone as if the SD card's mounted to the computer (regardless if my comp's even on) yet "Beat Plucker" 2 will sound normal. Any advice on how to remove the duplicate listings?

Have you reset the Hermes, sounds stupid I know but if you're still running a stock rom and haven't got x-button installed (or wktask, etc...) then it may not be closing the apps but minimizing them causing lockups or weird things to happen.

I would also connect to the PC and use MTTY to check for bad blocks.

If you are still using a stock rom, Hard SPL your device then use a cooked rom. No bloatware to use RAM and slow down your Hermes...

It could be helped by using a different application to play the videos with, like CorePlayer or TCPMP. The Tilt shipped without its video drivers hence the lag you experience while playing videos.

Simple application for "extending memory". Helps when you need some memory for non active applications (like music player + browser + maps + etc...).

Idea taken from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=482228

Requires root and SD/SDHC card.

Warning: SD card will be used as swap space. It can (and will) shorten SD card lifespan.

Application creates/rewrites swapfile.swp file on sdcard and mounts it as swap. It can use swap partition too. It can change swappiness behaviour ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3331080&postcount=33 )

Phone switches between tasks slower, but can run more programs in parallel.

Changes remains until reboot. Disable swap to eject/mount card.

It's my first application for Android. It goes as is, without any warranty. Use at your own risk.

Sorry for my English.

[G1 Apps and Games] MoridinBG:
Consider changing the default swappiness behaviour, as described in my post at page 3 of the thread. With the default value, 60, the phone uses the impossibly slow swap too much and after some use the entire system becames unusable.

Lowering it to a lower value, like 20 or 10 makes it swap rarely, while still using the swap to not force applications to unload and the system is usable, even after long time use.
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
Does this really work? I tried it and set the swappiness to 10 and 20 and then went to the browser and loaded a bunch of "heavy" websites. After that I switched to the home screen and there was still a significant lag.
[G1 Apps and Games] unrafa:
its working yes, program is probably good but swaping in embedded devices with so few memory like this is a terrible idea, keep testing anyway.

what maybe is worth the effort is looking at the kernel code and and recompile it removing first netfilter and some other unused things (or compile it as modules) to gain 1Mb or two, and gain significant speed removing the debug features that normal users doesnt want/need. there isnt much which can be done until someone figure out how to recover the other missing 128 mb who is said are eaten by graphic framebuffers.. i dont believe that.
[G1 Apps and Games] ex87:
Yes, there are some lags, but it's the best "user friendly" way now available not to close nessesary background applications as far as I know (correct me, if I'm wrong).

Working for me (I wrote application for easy turning it on and off - using swap only when nessesary, not all the time).
[G1 Apps and Games] mystica555:
First off, nice work with my initial idea :)

Questions however: Can you make the swap space size configurable? Also, I see that you went with my original hunch of /sdcard/ . This poses some challanges: it is required that swap is turned off before you can mount the card as a flash drive in your PC. There are also other issues I will probably be able to think of when I'm not so tired.

A configurable option of either /system/sd/ (for LucidREM's JFvMod build) or /sdcard (for those who havent moved the Apps/Data/Caches to SD) would be ideal!

Thanks for making a great quick gui! I have no idea where to start with java.
[G1 Apps and Games] ex87:
If any of Swapper users use LucidREM's JFvMod build - please test swapspace placing to /system/sd/ . Thank you!
[G1 Apps and Games] a1t:
Question

Yep, I'll be that first guy to ask the question. I will accept the consequences. Where can yo direct me to better understand the settings/configuration options available? I would like to understand this before I make changes. Also as a starter if you could recommend an appropriate config for an 8gb class 6 sd card, I would appreciate it.

Thanks to all!
[G1 Apps and Games] MoridinBG:
Just to remind you. Set the Swappiness to 10 before or immediately after creating swap or you would experience incredible slowness in a couple of minutes.
[G1 Apps and Games] ex87:
Settings:

Swap size = size of file for swapping.Here info for reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swap_space

Location = path where to place swap file (Locations button contains predefined paths, one is /sdcard/swapfile.swp, other is /system/sd/swapfile.swp - for those, who divided their sd cards for application sorage).

In program you have swappiness option - range 0-100 - how much you would like to swap. My tests showed that best performance/usability (for my sd+phone) is 32 MB swap and swappiness = 10. Your preferences can differ.

Changes are saved till system restart. After restart you should reenable swap and reset swappiness. Configuration about swap size and location is saved in program. Before configuring swap path please disable swap.

In default place swap is blocking mounting procedure of phone to pc. If you want to mount it, you should disable swap.

About sd configuration - here is one link with instructions. I haven't done it myself yet because of slow sdhc ("quick" sd card is only 1 GB) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=480582

[G1 Apps and Games] joshtheitguy:
I've been trying every convievable combination of swap size, location and swap levels.

I started with 32Mb and 15 which proved to be unstable then 10. So then 16Mb w/ swap @ 15 and 16Mb/10 which still provided to be unstable.

All the above combination tested on both /sdcard and /system/sd.

Is a class 4 just to slow for this to work? I'd imagine it wouldn't be but I cannot get this to run stable period.
[G1 Apps and Games] borodin1:
I think it was discussed somewhere else. You need at least class 6 if you want to get any speed out of anything, especially "apps/caches on sd". Not sure about this swap deal. Sdhcs are considerably cheaper now days, I got my class 6 (8gb) for $18 from MicroCenter.

Good luck
