Notification sounds

I've been having trouble setting notification sounds for individual apps. I set the system default notification sound using theme manager, but then I want to set a different (less obtrusive) sound for gmail notifications. So I go to the gmail app > settings and then when i try to select a ringtone it gives me the option of finding it using 'music' or 'theme manager'. the ringtone i want to use is a .ogg file in the /system/audio folder so it doesn't show up in 'music'. I find the ringtone through the 'theme manager' option in the gmail notification settings and select the desire ringtone. The problem is that doing this sets that ringtone to be the system default, so I can't have two different sounds for sms and email notifications. very frustrating, has anybody found a way to do this?

How long til RC3 drops? Anyone know?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Thanks for the support guys, but yea I've tried everything - just reboot computer with reinstalling of drivers and phone is not detected, meaning my phone is bricked.

I shall bring this to SSC and let's hope they fix it for me :( I'm still a secondary/high school student, so I don't think I can afford a new phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
I have for default notification Sirrah, and for all Chat based apps (GTalk and Whats App) Canopus. Set default ringtone in Theme Manager and change the ringtone in the app you want it different, it should appear a big list with all your audio files, MP3, ogg and so on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ravi84m:
Check this article. obviously the main functions of a smart phone are: calling/smsing, internet browsing, Video playback, Photography, and gaming. and as far as an official samsung firmware goes all these were functioning flawlessly. However, when it comes to MIUI, the camera and the video playback is admittedly malfunctioning. That doesn't fit in the scope of a RC. You also can't blame an external kernel for it. If you claim to have reach a RC status then people should expect that all is fine and working, and every "newly discovered" bug should be reported and seriously scrutinised by the developers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Read this page about what CM7 and MIUI are. If you can't take this bugs, dont flash it, its not made for you. Maybe you are right about the RC status, but its their port, if they want to call it Alpha v34 they can.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcord11758:
Just because the thread says rc2, it does not excuse you from reading before flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
@ravi84m

If you flashed this thinking there would be no or little bugs because it is an RC you should have read before flashing. It clearly says this in the first post under a big sign of 'what doesn't work': "*SOME bugs from CM7 (INCLUDING: Battery drain, Camera, TV OUT, no 720p recording, choppy MKV playback, etc.)"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] branalvere:
Based on this view no windows os software should ever have got past RC stage because its buggy as hell when you buy it and buggy as hell when you eventually get rid of it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
Well, I wish you all the best. Samsung would be able to repair your phone, that's for sure. Let's hope they don't ask questions, and you will get back your phone fast enough.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Maybe it was a hardware issue. Because I was getting internal SD card damage notifications (strangely only with MIUI) and only after refomatting did it fix it. I realised that after I placed files back into the phone that the message would reappear again, so maybe it is a hardware issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mermigas:
Since it is based on CM7 I will call it still experimental
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Ravi i get your points but there is no point barking about it when we are NOT going to change the status of the port back to Beta/Alpha. Plus you simply CANNOT compare this ROM to a Samsung ROM or anything else! That's like comparing a go kart to a proper car.

It's not like we called the first release RC, after 9 Betas we decided to, and MIUI will be releasing an RC in April, so there is not much else left apart from some bugs which were already present and everyone was aware of, but we all decided it's stable enough to use daily.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcord11758:
Why are people so hung up on the nomenclature? This its a nexus s port using cm7 kernels. It wont operate on your phone like a samsung rom, because it is not one. Not for you, move on. There are more than sufficient warnings of the short comings if this port
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
The internal sd failing might be the issue.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ravi84m:
This is an internationally recognised Nomenclature, you could say "this is an RC because it IS an RC", or "this is an RC because we like to call it so even though it's technically in alpha".

I was aware of those bugs when I flashed it. All am saying that using the term "Release Candidate" is misleading.

I'm not trying to disregard anyone. I have high regards for the developers and I appreciate the time and effort that they have dedicated to this community. This ROM is fresh and have a lot of potential BUT I don't think a ROM should reach the final version when basic functionalities like the camera and video playback are missing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kenia1234:
Please guys...don't blame on that guy...

that was his opinion...

In my opinion video playback and camera works well...not like in official Samsung firmware...of course...but it works pretty well...however the bugs are CLEARLY written...if you want you can flash...otherwise don't...nobody will blame on you...

this is a free project...

NOBODY PAYS US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE DO IT FOR FREEEEEEEEEEE!! :):)

so please be kind...we have a life...we are very busy...and we have this hobby!! :)

However for the over 2700 people interested (last download score on megaupload!!) MIUI9000 1.4 deodexed zipaligned and a little rebranded will come very soon!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] daxxad:
I follow this thread daily and im really tempted to try it out one day.

But one question has been bugging me for some time now, some pages back there was some stuff going on on chinese forums. About official MIUI or a port of their own or something.

Now my question was, is the chinese miui team working on making an official MIUI release for the SGS? Or was it about having the chinese people their own port from the Nexus?

I really hope an official release is on his way! Not that i dont appreciate your work, its fantastic, but I really need ROMs which last for over 14 hours with quite the usage. And right now I hear that MIUI and CM7 both have slight battery drain.

Keep up the good work tho!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Ravi we understand and appreciate your concerns and comments, but the majority think it's stable enough so we decided to label it RC.

+Ken i told you that official releases aren't deodexed! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
haram! :eek:

:D

Also these are all based on official releases from the MIUI Dev team, at first we were the ones porting it till Beta 7 but then they decided to take over so yeah, saves a lot of work and time for us.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
hahahah :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sago62:
capisco poco l'inglese,ma hai fatto MOLTO BENE!!!

ora lavora per darci la nuova release...:D

GRANDE!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kenia1234:
Grazie!! Ma guarda tu questi ke si aggrappano a ste cavolate!! :) non solo faccio tutto questo gratis...ma guarda tu...

Intranslatable!! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Well you can always go back to any release, all you need to do is wipe data/system/cache and factory reset and go back to RC2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GalGavu:
Is there any way to install custom swype. I mean I want to install swype from 2.3.3 because of languages that are not in swype beta..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sago62:
NON RIESCONO A CAPIRE CHE lo fai per passione.....come che per passione anche noi VI seguiamo....poi non importa s tutto funziona a dovere, è la soddisfazione di avere qualcosa di diverso...

ma per la rc3 in italiano basterà flashare il pack che già esiste?quella rom che abbiamo scaricato non va bene quindi....boh
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsuru:
Can we hope for an update today? Yesterday i made the mistake to reflash a samsung based costum rom, and my Device feels like it always did before cm7/Miui ... LIKE CRAP! i can't take it anymore :eek:

If there is gona be an update today i will wait for it instead of flashing Rc2 now.

Thanks in advance ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yes there will be an update today :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rumble6059:
google translate - LOL!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rumble6059:
yeah i thought that would be the case, was just hoping that if i did want to go back [in sure that i wont] that i wouldn't have to factory reset, wipe data system and cache as it takes bloody ages to get my phone back to the set up i like.

NVM :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
is the backup system in miui any good? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sago62:
you're right .... it was just an exchange of ideas Italian .... sorry ...

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Caemgen:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you flash the RC3 update, all your data/apps will stay intact, right? :-)

Or do you want to backup 'just in case' when the flashing goes wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
It actually is really really good, i've backed up my SMS etc countless times with it and it works perfectly, the most easiest utility i've used.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wanam:
Good job Mambo04, can we have an arabic patch please, CM7 support it now, i believe you can also do it.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rumble6059:
don't apologize, i was just curious thats all :-)

Keep up the great work anyway, there are sooo many people that appreciate it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
so if i wipe date/cache/system and do a factory reset then upgrade to RC3, will restoring my settings using the backup be safe?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Caemgen:
About Swype:

If you miss it, then check out SlideIT in the Market. It's actually really good (maybe even better than Swype). It works the same and there are language packs you can download seperately.

Hey, i would just like to share this website with you, some of you may already know it, but for you that dont here it is:

http://miuithemes.com/

its full of themes, some really cool ones, all are free too !!!. and also, theme designers get the chance to win cash if they produce a good enough theme,

so for anyone out there designing for fun, why not post them on the site, your luck may be in :D

Why don't samsung release source
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yes you should be fine :)

and thanks dude for the link, i know of that website but people may want to use it. I think we'll see a lot of new themes in a few weeks, but i want to create a new theme based on icons sets from macthemes, for iOS. Time shall tell :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Caemgen:
Thanks for the link!

So about themes... Check out this one: http://miuithemes.com/1182/glowbuster-miui-theme/

Notice that the horizontal 'scrolling bar' is not visible. There are more themes like this and I tried a few of them, but unfortunately the scrolling bar remains.

Does any of you know how to disable/hide it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsuru:
Then i will wait for it and make sure my battery is full until i flash! :D

Thanks a lot mate! And keep up the great work guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
ever tried restoring apps using the backup? :p if it installs them automatically without asking you like titanium backup pro does then it looks like i won't need titanium anymore :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
This I'm not sure, as MIUI sources are closed. madmack was asked before, and he said he needed the sources. Precisely cm7 is open sourced and that allow him to do the patch.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
MAMBO04, from what I understand you take the 1.4.1 build from the Nexus S and make it SGS compatible?

Or is it already the officially for I9000 developed version from MIUI China?

I was also wondering if you do any changes to it on your own (remove/add things or apps) or if you keep it as close to the "original" MIUI as possible?

Thanks for your hard work MIUI devs! Love the project. :)

I can easily wait for the new update.

Doesn't have to come out today, I'd rather wait longer, if it's more stable. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
I revamped that theme. Check my post out: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12554575&postcount=3268

You have to replace some images in system/launcher, can't remember what though, i've done it in my theme.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yes, it is the official one from China, we used to port it from scratch but don't need to anymore.

We change some things and translate and add our own Kernel.

:) cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
not the Nexus one, but the official I9000 port! My guess is it will be as close as the official one, with some tweaks done by Kenia1234.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GalGavu:
SlideIT for my language is crap :/ That's why I'm asking for swype from jvk - the best one.. anyone have any idea why it dosen't install??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
You don't need to with this theme, it'll do it for you.

Also we deodex the ROM.

EDIT: You need these images if you want to get rid of that bar in other themes:

screen_view_slide_bar.9

screen_view_slide_bar_bg.9

slide_bar.9

slide_bar_bg.9

slide_bar_bg

These are in framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi

Hope that helps :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Caemgen:
I guess it uses parts of the original samsung framework.

Another question:

How do you get more than 5 icons in your dock?

Check out http://miuithemes.com/5/swg-miui-theme/

Btw, you may have missed my question about RootExplorer:

Can I just use RootExplorer to replace those imagefiles (to hide the horizontal scrollbar on the homescreen)?

Tried to Google what images I need to replace btw, but couldn't find anything.

Just saw your post. Thanks!

Just replace them with empty PNG's then?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
well i guess i'll try it out then :) and keep a titanium backup backup too just incase :)

the way they have done it is different from Samsung's or other android phone manufacturers. I guess the developers uses the .9patch made by xeudoxus and incorporated it into the framework.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yeah, but to be honest i prefer this way!

What does this mean exactly?

That it wouldn't be wise to replace files through RootExplorer?

Well the official releases contain the system files and odex's, we deodex it all which is much, much better. It's what Mark does too with the Nexus S releases.

"De-odex: Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything."

This is detailed info...

The point is... do we have to care about this, or is every Rc at the moment deodexed and we can upgrade to Rc3 without problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Caemgen:
Haha, yeah...

Basically, my question comes down to this:

I know some themes replace the .png-images for you, so the horizontal scrollbar will be hidden from your homescreen...

But if I wanted to adjust something for myself, like - in this case - the scrollbar, can I just replace those .png-images with empty (transparant) ones through FileExplorer without breaking something?

ah can't wait till kenia posts in a turquoise font :)
