system/media/audio/* files not recognized

hey guys ive been using eclair for vibrant and had my own notifications set up. when i flashed obsidian 4.2 (loving it btw) i pushed my previous sound scheme to /system/media/audio/*. for some reason, the os recognizes my notifications, but not my alarm sounds and ringtone.ogg's after rebooting a few times and rescanning the media, i noticed it still lists the old ringtone files though they have been deleted and does not display my ogg's. the same goes for notifications, but does list my audio files in addition to the original list of files that were deleted. any ideas? im very accustomed to my alarms and ringtones and it would be awesome if someone can provide some insight.
[Vibrant Android Development] YMark:
Quick newbie question...... If I backup all my applications with Titanium, and then do a flash (which in turn does a WIPE), aren't the backups that Titanium just created erased?

Or is everyone copying the TitaniumBackup folder to there external SDCard prior to flashing?
[Vibrant Android Development] Slide1340:
No, it only wipes the system area of the card.
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
ok i did not go that part..... so the guide is not completely clear!!!

Now.. where to get the guide for steps to ODIN?? and where to get the JFD rom? a quick link would really help!! Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] joetc1116:
So I have downloaded v4.2 directly to my phone, and i have been trying to flash it. for some reason when i try to "install ROM from sd card" it just boots into the stock 2e recovery and does nothing. I cannot even reboot into cw recovery. any help is appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Oh s***...good point. I shall have to remember that next time. I was fortunate in that my internal SD was not wiped during the flash. Thanks for the heads up, as it were.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I believe there have been reports of the entirety of the internal SD being wiped. Is this incorrect?
[Vibrant Android Development] Slide1340:
I think the op says about 1 in 20 experiences a complete wipe... If it happens, odin back to jfd and reflash.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
See my signature.

Reinstall packages a few times, if that doesn't do it, then reflash clockworks recovery from rom manager and then reinstall packages a few more times from e2, and if that doesn't work, then Odin back to stock, root, flash CWR, and flash new rom. All set.
[Vibrant Android Development] qroche85:
It did wipe entire internal SD in my case, including all the Titanium backup. So save them to somewhere else before flashing
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
Sames here! Gmail doesn't seem to reconize my .mp3s as a notification, untill I found this info:

On Android creating a new ringtone from any audio file is fairly straightforward but adding a notification tone is not. To add a custom tone do the following.

1. Create a “notifications” directory at the root of your sdcard. You can do this with Astro or by connecting your Android phone to your PC over USB. The directory should look like this.

/sdcard/notifications

2. Insert any audio file (wav, mp3, midi, etc.) in this directory and you will be able to use it as a notification tone.

Creating a folder on my sdcard directory named "notifications", then WALLA - i can select a personal ringtone from within Gmail's settings.

the rom is awesome running great but is facebook down or something? it won't sync my facebook contacts... anybody else have problem with syncing facebook contacts???
[Vibrant Android Development] joetc1116:
Thank you so much... worked like a charm!

just flashed obisidion 4.2 w/ulag. Wiped my sd, and my internal phone app storage read 0 of 0 no app storage available. So just for a hoot i went into recovery installed no rfs and got stuck in a loop. Its in odin right now.
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
i'm confused...why would you need to ODIN back to jfd if your internal gets wiped? does something get broken when the internal is wiped? my internal was wiped the first time i flashed a froyo rom, but i didn't need to odin back to stock after that. just curious what reason is for needing to ODIN back to stock if it wipes?

EDIT: nevermind, i guess the post above mine is why you need to use ODIN if it wipes...
[Vibrant Android Development] atrainer:
Yes, flashing V4.2 wiped my internal SD card as well. I backed everything up to my pc prior to flashing. After flashing, I replaced the Titanium folder on the internal SD card with the back up on my pc, rebooted and then restored the apps with Titanium.

I used the No-RFS Overkill JFS and the ROM is working fast and smooth. Great job Team Whiskey!
[Vibrant Android Development] mr2t32:
seem like going from ULF ver. to stock wipe whole internal. Last night i had ULF flashed and setup and internal was left as-is. After finding out the external drive mounting as cd-rom, I decided to try out the stock kernal and now I'm stuck at Vibrant screen and not able to do adb logcat. Going to odin and try stock again.
[Vibrant Android Development] jayprime:
My app storage was wiped also my memory storage was telling me i had no internal storage.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Your link to using Odin is great, as I have used it many time also. One downside to looking at most of these links is they don't update to the newest Odin, which fixes many problems. See my signature link at the very, very bottom and get Odin3 v1.70. Edit: I made that a link in case I ever change my signature.
[Vibrant Android Development] jayprime:
hey I think the market is down right now. I heard they where going to do a major over haul. Freakn great. Im trying to get rooted and install clockwork after I just odined
[Vibrant Android Development] r3skyline:
went to imax, slept, wake up to 4.2...

yes...
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
is this typical of everyone whose internal was wiped? is it possible to just back up your internal to pc and just put it all back in the case of an internal wipe or was ODIN absolutely necessary for everyone who experienced a wipe? i only ask because i really want to try this but i'm away from my pc and can't use ODIN until i get home.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I have gone from ULF to other kernels multiple times already this morning without a single issue. I always convert back to RFS before flashing a new kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
im stuck completely..

somehow i couldn't get my phone to Download mode.. whenever i plug in the usb cable, it doesn't show the charging phone.. it boot to recovery mode. that's all.. how???
[Vibrant Android Development] skeeedup:
thanks! i was able to do this for my alarms so now it works. as for my ringtones i just have to convert my .ogg files back to .mp3's and use astro file manager thanks again dude!
[Vibrant Android Development] timafey:
I flashed with ODIN back to stock, flashed the new 4.2 w/ new recovery and applied the lag fix that converts everything to ext 4... 0 problems! Is there a dissadvantage to converting everything to ext4? This thing runs awesome! great job guys

Edit... haha great erased my SD!

Could be b/c i have a large NAND
[Vibrant Android Development] mr2t32:
The thing is, I didn't set any lagfix. I just flashed the ULF ver. last night because that was the only one available for download at the time. I thought I only had to revert if I went and enable a lagfix from recovery. Now i got this wierd screen. with some red text and looks like kernal panic download mode. I'll see if i can take a pic with a co-worker's phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Data Connection!

I flashed, and now i have no data connection!!!!

My data network mode is activated... Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know a fix?

EDIT: Okay, stupid flight mode was on... I suck...
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
i got that screen once and i have no idea why or how, but i just held down the power button until it reset and all was well...
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I just tested, it worked fine for me. Reboot and try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Your RIL reset, its common with all 2.2 roms right now. Just reboot once and it should never happen again.
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
can someone please help me? I keep booting into recovery mode instead of download mode. Any other way to get into download mode? I dont know adb....
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Thanks Som! I have it moving alone now...

AMAZING WORK by the way!
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
Please help.

I get a message in the market that says "sorry, there's not enough space to install this item" with then new rom, whenever I want to reinstall an app in my download list.

What did I do? How do I fix it?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Oh oh oh! I think I know what you are talking about. Does it boot up in stock recovery and then like 7 red errors scroll down the screen? And you can't reinstall packages to get to CWM Recovery? I have found this happens when I use kernels with CWM built in to replace the stock recovery. If I restore a nandroid/kernel and reboot it boots up fine, but when I go back into recovery I get those errors and I can't re-enter recovery. After that the phone will no longer boot either.

If this is your problem only ODIN can fix it. I have found what seems like a sure way to avoid this from happening. If you are flashing a new kernel/nandroid, flash the kernel and then reboot into recovery. NOW restore your nandroid and you will avoid this. I hope this makes sense and helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Most of the Bionix ROMS have boot into download from the power button... ORRRR boot down, remove SIM and SD card... Hold volume up + down... With Odin already up on your PC... Plug in and you should see a com port go yellow...
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Nice to see a new revision released, but I am good with v3...Not too much in 4.2 that makes me wanna flash. I will wait it out......
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
the problem is.. mine automatically boot into recovery mode (2e) when i plugged in the usb cable. It doesn't just charge the phone. What can I do???

Are you holding the power button while holding the volume +&- ???? If you are, stop! ONLY hold the volume +&- and then plug the micro USB into your phone...
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:

Any takers?

*Bump*

How come I can't install anything?
[Vibrant Android Development] mr2t32:
yeah, I odin it to unofficial and got it back up and running. BTW, I thought my internal was wipped, but it didn't still got everything in there. But going back from ULF did leave me on vibrant screen. I got that screen when I had the phone plugged in to the USB at the battery screen and after maybe 5min. it went to that screen. Anyways, seemsl ike stock kernal one is working. It's booting up now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
I think I may have encountered a bug. I odined to stock, then flashed 4.2. My external SD card appears to be unreadable/unwritable.

It shows up just fine in windows explorer and it sees the files and folders, but I can open any folders or anything.

I'm able to navigate everything from inside the phone, it's just my computer is not able to do anything.

Any thoughts? Is this what the SD fix from Eugene is for?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
ODIN and reflash
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
About two and a half minutes on average...
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Eugene's SD fix does NOT resolve the issue. The problem is directly related to the kernel.

[Vibrant Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
I just wanted to say thanks team whiskey.I love all your roms and im very happy,w/ 4.2.this may be my daily driver for a while.I flashed ulf version,w/ no problems.chose no ext overkill jfs.its getting 1600 in quadrent but it zipped through the cpu and I/0 benchmarks faster then any rom lagfix combo Ive tried to date.this is quite a speedy devil and Ive had no problems so far,so thanks alot,great job.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
It seems every iteration of 2.2 so far has had issues with mounting the SD cards. Right now I can't even see my external SD on the computer; the internal is fine. Not a big worry for me. I can navigate the external fine on the phone however.

It's not a permanent situation; it will be remedied in time.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Thats what the man said!
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:

My Experiences

I tried to put 4.2.. with errors in the recovery shell on the display.

So wiped.. reinstalled with ODIN and put the 4.2.. goes fine!

then I've applied the overkill jfs.. and turned on the 3 menus of extra features.. OK

then I'm using it..

4 issues:

-confirm above described: no way to mount usb in write.. only adb tools can work

-confirm that in recovery mode ext sdcard is never visible.. and I cannot mount in the 2e or newer 3e menu

-NO ICON REPEAT NO ICON in the Phone applet to do a Video Call.. so anyone in USA is using that feature? call or videocall in italy is normally..

-when I hear a sound.. (no call.. only sound in any mp3 player) sometimes I hear a click.. like a metal click that has a higher volume respect the normal volume of the sound

great job for the ROM.. is quite near the perfection

tomorrow I'll test the gps.. but in v3 was fine! I suppose it'll be the same

and I'll verify the battery because this afternoon I've stressed the battery to get a 50 of applet via WCDMA.. to get my phone agreable.

bye
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
ok.. i thought rom manager needs to be rooted to access.... let me try though..

should I just flash v3? 4. 2 seems to have some problems

Edit- okay i read the OP and I guess there is a small risk, but 4. 2 sounds very awesome.
[Vibrant Android Development] los0325:
I POSTED this in TW forums too... :) thanks tw and Som, been using ur roms since u 1st started to make them and love them .Two ?s any feel free to school me, so with the 4.2 unv.. can we now disable voodoo thru cw no, and or can we us the disable voodoo zip file to remove voodoo? keep up the great work
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Also, I clearly stated in the op that only advanced users with the know how to Odin in case the wipe happens should use the ULF kernel. If you are not extremely familiar with advanced Modding, I strongly suggest you use the rom with stuck kernel. There is still a lagfix option in that one too. Its better for beginner users.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr2t32:
ok, so this is what i have encounter so far. First flash was ULF which ran great w/o enabling any lagfix. One thing i noticed was external been mounted as cd-rom read only. From that, I decided to flash the stock kernel ver. which caused my phone to get stuck at Vibrant screen, no big deal, odin back to unofficial. Flashed stock kernel one again and everything is up and running. External sd still only showing 2gb in disk management while i have a 4gb. not a big deal seems to be a common issue across all the froyo roms. Last thing i want to point out is that the rom did not wipe my internal or external. Seems like it only wipes if it is your first time flashing a froyo rom. As of right now, this will be my daily until the external sd thing is fixed. I just don't see what else can be improved from this version.
[Vibrant Android Development] lolcopter:
just flashed V4.2 w/ stock kernel then the segmented battery mod

this ROM is FLYING! great work
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yea, you can disable any and all lagfixes directly through cw with the disable lagfix option located in the menu. Just select it and reboot.

yeah i tried several times (i rebooted many times) but for some reason mine is not syncing.... it's strange... two of my associates have vibrant also and their syncing is working fine.. just mine... should i just odin back to jfd and flash the rom again?? just in case?

It appears that Google Maps is not functioning over 3G. The app opens and attempts to load the map, but eventually times out and gives me a "network error".

I confirmed via GPS Status & Toolbox that the GPS is functioning properly.

I downloaded a bunch of apps off the market and read a few articles, so I know 3G data is working.

When wifi is enabled, Google Maps functions properly.

Turning wifi off, maps no longer load and I eventually get a network error.

Backup your SD if your going to use the uni lagfix kernel.

Open up regular Titanium. Select the upgrade to Pro link at the bottom. Pay for it and download from Market. Awter download, reboot your phone. Then use the regular Titanium app icon...it'll automatically recognize that you have the Pro version after you've rebooted.
