You can put a .nomedia "blank file" in the \ringtone folder, so it won´t get caught by the mediascan.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
I've tried that solution it also prevents my ringtones getting seen by my application that handles the ring tone selection ( zedge ) could you guys recommend something else to set my ringtones that work with .nomedia ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] naTTan:
This is a problem is with Samsung Music app. Other androids i own did not have this problem by right any ringtones in a folder called ringtones would not be pick up by the music app. The same goes for folder named alarms and notification. The music app would ignore it and android would detect the files and put it in the ringtone menu when picking a ringtone.

With samsung music app this is broken.

So whats the best music replacement app that sound equal or better than the stock music player ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
I had the same behaviour like SGS on my previous HTC Desire.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ukdtweak:
If you have root permissions, you can put your ringtones and notifications etc in the following location:

system\media\audio\ringtones

system\media\audio\notifications

system\media\audio\alarms

Then reboot and job done, your Samsung media player will nolonger register the files...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Do I need a 3rd party application for me to asign these ringtones or do they already appear on the list of ringtones out right ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ukdtweak:
Simple answer = You need Root access and an app such as root explorer, it will let you copy your music files to the system folder as stated...

I did as above and copied in my .mp3 files that I wanted, then simply rebooted and they work perfectly and nolonger show in Music players lists... but when I go to notifications they appear and can be selected like any other sound in the list :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Thanks, my phone is already rooted. Ill just grab root explorer and try this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] danmullen:
It's also exactly the same behaviour on the HTC Hero.
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
Didn't see any other threads yet, so here are my Quadrant numbers. Personally I don't think it's a great benchmark, but it does give some measure for comparison...

All my tests were done 3 times and then averaged. CPU frequency scaling was set to "performance" to prevent throttling.

ROM: I897UCJH3

Kernel: Unhelpful's 1.2GHz OC Kernel

Mods: SuperRooterExtreme w/ Tayutama's LagFix v2.2.2 (Ext4)

CPU @ 1.0 GHz (Stock):

total: 1887

cpu: 768

memory: 1825

io: 5614

2d: 311

3d: 918

CPU @ 1.2 GHz (Overclocked):

total: 2116

cpu: 906

memory: 1743

io: 6547

2d: 358

3d: 1029

Anyone else?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
There are a million benchmarks in the related threads (overclock, lag, kernel, ROM version, etc.) - so you probably should just search on the word Quadrant and you will get more junk then you know what do with.

BTW, it has been determined that the Quadrant scores are virtually meaningless - Cyanogen has been able to get +3000 scores by doing some easy trickery - in the end the Quadrant benchmarks have no value in regards to real world performance.
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
That may be the case, but I haven't done any trickery. And I still think for lack of a better tool, it provides some manner of comparison. And having benchmarks in a single thread is a lot easier to compare than all over the individual mod/speed fix threads.

[Droid X Android Development] o0gamerbear0o:
Cant connect to RSDlite with my droid x

Here is the story.

I could really use some help here. I had originally rooted my droid x and then tried moving the bin to xbin to keep root. But being that i am really new to this i did not know you couldn't update to 2.2 if you had anything custom installed. so i SBF flashed my phone to stock.. left root off, then updated. Being dumb i tried using the root program for 2.1 on my 2.2. says its rooted fine.. it didn't.. no big deal i hope. i don't know if this has any affect as to why this issue is happening but i figured its worth mentioning. Anyways... so now i want to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 so i can root and move the bin file properly but i cant. Every time i try to connect to my computer in PC mode, it fails to load/install the driver for my X. my computer recognizes that its the MB810 but fails... so i cannot connect properly to RSDlite in order to perform the flash.. i have tried connecting in all modes media sync... charge only.. PC mode.. etc.. and yes USB debugging is enabled.. i have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now and I'm going crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW i am using windows 7 64bit

UPDATE:

I now have the drivers installed and the phone connects properly to my computer, not sure if i am connecting properly to RSDlite but it still will not allow me to flash the sbf. the sbf i am using is the phoxus -the gift- for the life of me i cannot figure out why it will not let me flash. i open RSD..select my sbf.. connect my phone.. and the start button will not light up.
[Droid X Android Development] kdkinc:
I would delete the drivers and install the Motorola driver that you can get at Motorola. I have 2.2 which is running great but I still had to reinstall the drivers see that my PC could See my DX.

Before you can do anything your PC has to See your DX with no issues.

Hope this helps

Switch the mode of the device when pluggied in and the drviers should load fine. That said change it from PC mode to Windows Sync Mode and you should be good to go.
[Droid X Android Development] dr154:
Follow this to get your computer to recognize your DX running Froyo, you need new drivers.

1. USB Mass Storage without Development Mode on.

2. MotoConnect will prompt; Install.

3. PC Mode with Development Mode on.

4. ADB activate again on leaked Froyo. :)

[Droid X Android Development] Mayfairkid:
You can also go to ubuntu and get a copy of linux for free, burn it to disc, then boot into linux from the disc. No install needed. Once in, use SFB_Flash (google it) to flash the SFB file...P3Droid and Birdman both recommed this vs the RSDlite.

If you receive a request for Froyo 2.2 OTA update, could you please PM me before doing the update (if you intend to do so).

We would like to run a debug procedure when the update is fetched to ascertain the URL of the update. This will allow us to grab the stock ROM for modification. It will not in any way affect your update.

Best wishes,

Martin
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
From what I've heard Wildfire is going to be bottom of the list when it comes to Froyo, some of the UK mobile providers aren't even able to say whether the update will go through at all!
[Wildfire Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
When you've done this, can you send me the url? I would like to port the ROM to HTC tattoo :)
[Wildfire Android Development] danne_jo:
if you gonna update, and running linux, you can help devs out! please run this command before patching:

it will save the phones log to logcat_output.txt and in that file we will find a direct link to OTA update.

2. iPhone 4 - Adore looks, love gaming

3. Nokia N900- Love web browser, emulators, cool OS

I have enough money for one of these devices then can get another one later.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QazQaz3:
First off sorry for the noob question.

I've been all over these fourms, google and Wiki.

So far what I know is that the Manila is a code name Touchflow 3D and that Sense is based off of it.

So heres the question: I have a htc HD2 Leo, when I go to software info on my phone it says its manila 2.5.20121412.2 but when my phone boots up it says launching sense and I've been seeing all these great apps and mods for sense 2.5 that I want but I don't know if I have sense or something else.

So I need to know if sense just goes by manila or if I need to load sense on to my phone first.

Any input would be great

Thanks

I have synchronized my private contacts with MS Outlook on PC. I have set up MS Exchange email account on WM device, so I can send and receive emails through Exchange Server. However, I can not send email to company employees that are not in my private contact list. There is a option to search in "company directory" but it always gives me "found zero contacts" ... Seems like it is not searching in the right place. Server settings must be fine, since I do get emails and can use Reply to sent emails. There must be something with enabling "company directory" functionality here...

I tried to go into ActiveSync Options and saw that under Microsoft Exchange section only Email is checked (calendar, contacts are not checked). Thought this must be correct setting as I do not want to copy companies global address list into my mobile device. I just want to lookup for a name on Exchange Server when needed. Anyway, I tried to click on Contact checkbox on ActiveSync Options and then it said that I have to uncheck Private Contact. Sounds reasonable as WM can not handle two contact directories.

So what can I do to be able to select name from "Company Directory"
[General Topics] Petulinek:
Its simple, you must sync also contacts in AS... Without them Company Directory will not work.
[General Topics] ajocius:
Thank you for quick and clear reply

will it then copy global contact list from Exchange Server to my phone? It will be thousands of people, I do not want to have all of them among my contacts...

If this does not copy all global contact list to my WM device, is there any way to keep my personal contacts on the phone, which are synched with Outlook contacts on PC?
[General Topics] Petulinek:
I think not. It provides search online on exchange server.

To your device is synced only your private address book from Outlook. From Outlook which is connected to Exchange - private address book is stored on exchange server and copy on local PC. If you syncing address book from outlook not connected to Exchange server, you lose these contacts...

The vibration unit on my phone seems to be failing. I'm not going to send it off for repair, unless I have to.

Is it possible to disable ALL the vibration (boot, restart toggle on CHT, etc), perhaps by a registry edit?

The only threads I've found so far seem to be application specific questions, and Google doesn't help either.

Anyone got any ideas, please?
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
I wonder why some apps require access to gps/my location and phone calls although they are not supposed to be in need of them, for instance some games like toss-it etc. Internet access may be required because of ads, and system tools for using the accelerometer sensor. That's it!

Really appreciate a reasonable, concrete response to this query as I principally refuse such apps as soon as I see such irrelevant demand on access although actually want to get them.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I doubt that anyone can give you a definitive answer on this one, because it is going to be application dependent.

The whole point is that when you install an application, you review the list of permissions that it is requesting and then make a judgement as to whether you deem these to be acceptable or not. For example, if I were to download an application a video player, I wouldn't generally expect it to require location information and/or involve services that cost me money (e.g. sending SMS's), so I would refuse permissions for that app.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
Google or we -users/customers/cunsomers or whatever you may call- should request developers/sellers to specify why the particular app requires such accesses. They must include some clarifying statements in descriptions.

Personally I think I have right to know that, so that -more or less- we can keep us away from malicious softwares.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Given that you can install applications from a non-Market source, this would be impossible to police for the most part. It could be implemented within the Market, but since you can submit apps to the Market without peer review, anyone submitting an application could post gibberish or blatant lies instead of clear statements.

Apple get around this by forcing all applications to undergo peer review, but then you only get to see the saccharin sweet Apple view of the world. Unfortunately, the threat of malware is the price you pay for an open system.

Dave
