Found an app called "Tone Picker", which lets you pick any sound files from the file manager and set it as a ringtone. I was able to set my text message notification tone to my own ringer (a WAV file). But when I set my phone call ringtone, it doesn't work. The phone plays a default ringer instead. I tried both a MP3 and an OGG version of my own ringtone, neither works. I'll try to convert it to a WAV file when I get home.

This is very frustrating. I can't believe how difficult it is to do a simple task like adding your own ringtone. It just worked in WinMo :mad:

Hi Folks,

I have the v2.3 on the Blackstone and its great. GPS works well. Navigon runs perfectly.

The only issues I found are:

1. Camera not working

2. Battery gets very hot and after 1h its empty

3. No root rights when try running console

Has v2.4 resolved any of these issues? Is there a posibility to run Linux as a root in order to have the posibility to shut down in Linux console without reset?

Thanks

Set A Custom Notification Tone

I am running 2.4 on a CDMA Diamond. All of my ringtones (regardless of storage location) can be set as my "Phone Ringtone" from "Settings>Sound & Display>Phone Ringtone" by default with this build (which is amazing btw!! Thanks to all involved!). I don't remember if this was the case on other builds I have tried.

For Notification ringtones, I remember using a file explorer app (name escapes me right now) on another android build that allowed setting a notification tone.

Having forgotten the name of that app, I just tried putting the mp3 for my notification sound in "/sdcard/media/audio/notifications" and it worked; the mp3 files can be set in "Settings>Sound & Display>Notification Ringtone"

I saw your post and wanted to confirm this before posting a reply, so I tried with three other mp3 files (including one that is 30 seconds long) and they all worked.

You might have to use mp3 or ogg instead of wav, the only wav I tested did not show up using this method.

Give it a try, see if it works for you.

Hi dex, I originally tried MP3 and OGG ringtones by putting them in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones or /sdcard/media/audio/notifications. I COULD NOT get them to show up in the "Settings>Sound & Display>Phone Ringtone" menu no matter what I tried. Using the Tone Picker app (which let you pick arbitrary sound files using the OI File Manager), I was able to set the the notification ringtone and that worked fine. I was able to set the phone ringtone as well, but it doesn't work when someone calls my phone (a default ringtone is played). The phone ringtone itself plays fine when selected directly from the File Manager. I tried with both a MP3 and an OGG version of the phone ringtone.

I'm running 2.4 on a Sprint Touch Pro.
[Touch HD Android Development] dex416:
Try using "volume ringtone picker-manager" (available for free in the market):

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/volume-ringtone-pickermanager_hawx.html

I had this app installed and it didn't work when I pointed the app at files elsewhere on the device by selecting "MP3 File". I did the manual move of the files to the notification directory (I imagine the ringtone dir would work too, but I didn't test it), I then was able to set the ringers with this app selecting the "Phone" button. Then I did the manual move of a file to the notification dir and set the ringer in the system settings and that worked too, so I assumed the app was not required. Perhaps it is doing some "magic" in the background (I think I still had the app running when I did the manual file move and set ringer in system settings) parsing the notifications dir and updating the ringer list.

Anyhow, give it a try.

Under notification, click "Phone" (The bell Icon). It *should* allow you to assign all tones in the the notification directory.

I don't know if there are bitrate limitations. If it still doesn't work, try using one of mine to test.
[Touch HD Android Development] bertrandno7:
hmm i think for now ringtone is a small issue we should just focus on important issues such as battery and heating for now
[Touch HD Android Development] morfinx:
Hi Dex, thanks for the suggestions. I got the same result with your app. The "Phone" option doesn't work because the phone doesn't recognize my ringtones exists. The "MP3" looks like it works as it lets me pick any file, but then back to the main screen it still says "Unknown" under phone ringtone. If you click on it, which normally plays the current ringtone, it plays the default system ringtone. I tried it with my ringtone, as well as the two you provided.

[Touch HD Android Development] morfinx:
Please do. Let me know what you find. Thanks :)

I finally found a workaround. I basically have to recreate the ringer using Ringdroid. I use it to crop a section of a mp3 file, then save it as a "Ringtone". Then it shows up under the ringtones menu in Settings. It's a hassle and still relies on the media scanner to pick up all of the mp3s, which it didn't at first. The media scanner process did eventually pick up all of my mp3s (I think) in my "MUSIC" folder, but not anything in the "media" folder.

I don't think it's stable enough to use for full time yet.... it's not bad, but I wouldn't trust my life with it. WinMo still beats it for reliability.

[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
It's highly temperamental... to say the least. Been trying it on backstone, but not impressed (yet).
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Sense isn't a theme. You can get a sense version, yes (see other threads) but it's incredibly slow, or at least not as fast as this (yet).

If you just want the look and feel.... download the Weather Widget Donate app and get the free H7C (HTC clock & weather theme). There are also a few home screen themes for the sense bottom bar (which ends up wasting a lot of screen space).

To be honest, take my advice... Sense offers very little 'extra' and consumes a lot of memory. Regular Android is your best bet for the time being.

Installed Enclair on my stock 8gb MicroSD.

Works like a charm although it slows down after a usage of 5 / 10 minutes.

I do miss the shutdownbutton though.

Overall thoughts:

- phone and smsfunction work great although WinMocontacts are not beeing opened in Andriod (so you don't know who's calling ya)

- the speed is very nice, I expected it to be deadly slow

- the screenflashing upon device wakeup (if locked and asleep) is quite annoying, but that is WIP

- i do miss a shutdown button :(

- maybe a PIMbackup for Andriod would be good ?

- amazing how the devs overhere ported a complete operatingsystem to a brilliant piece of hardware.

The thread explains that SOME of the changes MAY help... if they don't you're out of luck with your current SD Card.

If there WAS a solution, it would be posted.

If the opening thread doesn't have the answer... we simply don't have the answer. If you manage to learn something new and discover a fix, please let us know and the answer will be put on the opening thread.

It's very frustrating I know, but there are hundreds of us all struggling with issues (possibly thousands of us)... there are very few issues that others don't have too... hence them being mentioned in the opening thread.

Stick with it... it will improve, but for an incompatible SD Card, it really sucks, since you can't try it at all :-(

I hope they get sound working soon and extend the battery life. It will keep me from early terminating my AT&T contract and getting an Incredible.
[Touch HD Android Development] accountabc:
First of all, thanks for this build! it's actually quite fast and I really like how everything works.

However..I've got a few issues with the latest build. Wifi doesn't work really. I can turn it on (once), and I'm able to see that networks are availible, but after that the phone freezes and goes in standby. When it wakes up again after 1-2 minutes wifi keeps saying: "unable to start".

Also, some programs (for example music) tend to crash randomly. (force close/ wait dialog). Sometimes the phone freezes completely and goes into standby for 1-2 minutes. I read somewhere that's because of the slowness of the SD card. When i checked here a while back there was no solution for this. Any progress on that point?
[Touch HD Android Development] morfinx:
Has anyone noticed that sometimes the phone just loses connection? By that I mean while everything looks fine, all the signal indicators are there, but you cannot make a call or establish a data connection. You also cannot receive calls. It's only fixed by resetting the phone. It's a bit frustrating because you think everything is working fine, but you are missing important calls or messages. Has anyone else experienced something like this? I'm running 2.4 on a RAPH800.

Questions

Hi, im sorry if this question already been asked by other people. Im new to this HD-Andoid thing.. I almost give up on my HD with the Winmo OS, and start looking for motorola droid, but lacking on money makes me hold the thought, but then suddenly came on my mind, there must be android on HD, and quickly look at xda..and here found it!! *still on my excited mode*

But im afraid, i will totally lost my HD when i do this Android on HD thingy *i have no other back up phone*.. so i would like to ask some questions.. (im so sorry if this questions have been asked before because i manage to read about 1-20++pages/158pages of this thread)

1. From what i've read for the installation- installed android on clean SD, etc2, then run android by clicking the icon eg. android.exe.. then the device will boot, and start the android system. Does this mean android on HD is something like a software where if u want to use it, u start it and if u don't then just turn it off and use the winmo? What about my installed programes for winmo in SD card, can i transfer all the apps back (winmo) on sdcard after ive installed android? Because it is stated u need a clean sd card to install android...transferring all the data back on sd card after install android izzit ok?

2. How about my contacts and sms msgs on my winmo? will it all be gone?

3. If i dont like the android on the hd, can i get my winmo back same like it was before? I mean, without any error...

Sorry if this is really like a noob questions...i have no idea at all on how it will works, tried to find the answers by myself but couldnt manage to found it yet. *still looking*

Thank you so much guys..

[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
I know this will sound harsh.... but....

If you cannot find the two black buttons on the first page of the install instructions (in order to download the cab or the zip).... then you probably should not even consider installing Android on your phone. It's just too difficult.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
You can install it on your SD card without having to format it, or wipe it...

It will not overwrite ANY of your apps or WinMo settings / mail / pictures / text etc.

BUT...

When you try to upgrade to a new version of XDAndroid later in time, the recommendation is to clean all Android files from your SD Card.

This can be 'tricky' because Android useage can create a lot of files and folders, so remembering which are Android files and which are your WinMo files can sometimes be difficult. (This is ONLY for SD Card btw, never your phone).

So for this reason, the easiest option is a totally clean SD Card... but it's not entirely necessary.
