[Q] Simple, silly, noob question. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, after all this time I forgot about the cool little notification sound that the EVO comes with. CM7 doesn't have it so I would like to know where I can get it or just what file to take it from on a Sense Rom, thanks my friends.

You can download a sense rom, extract the apk/sound file, then place it in CM7; or if you have a sense rom, flash to it, use root explorer / es file explorer, then locate, copy it to the sd card, then paste it in the correct location.
Look in> /system/media then look in audio, notifications, or ui

I think jacoballen22 is asking if anyone knows the location of the sound file or perhaps even the file name. I could be wrong though....

Yes, this is what I am asking and hopefully I can find it cause I'm getting bored of Numb (Piano version) as a notification ringer.

Even after transferring everything to the right spot, it isn't an .ogg file and even when I change the extension it still will not show up.

Where is the file located on the sense rom, and what is the name and original extension?

And using a root file explorer corrupts it? Because the simple copy and past should work; as its not tied into sense as its only an mp3 file.

I see, the part that I do not understand is why are all the CM7 ringers and such .ogg files? and it will not recognize the notification maybe unless I used a trimmer.

I use mp3s for notifications on MIUI, even though MIUI uses ogg files. But MIUI has a different way of choosing ringtones & notifications, which makes it easier.
Where exactly are you moving the file? And are you rebooting afterwards? If the media scanner doesn't run then it may not notice the file.
Edit:
You can also use Zedge to set your notification tones. You may have to move it to sdcard/zedge/notifications to be able to choose it from the app. I'm sure that there are other apps that allow you to choose custom mp3s for notifications.

F1_New_MMS.ogg Captain's Log Notification sound

Using CM6, I love the Captain's Log notification sound, can't find the file anywhere! I heard it was called F1_New_MMS.ogg for n1 here but didn't find it for my evo. Would love the notification for when I use fresh.

So take the CM6 file you already have downloaded and unzip the file and then browse into the media folder and copy them..Pretty simple..
Here it is. It's NOT a zip file, I just renamed it. Change it back to ogg and it should be fine.

I would appreciate someones help so much...

Hi everyone,
I am completely new to modding/theming/customizing my Evo in any way. I was taking a look at the post your screens thread and a lot of them look really cool, I just don't know where to even begin to customize my own evo. It's overwhelming seeing how customizable it is.
Right now I'm running Myns RLS3 with Launcherpro Plus and I have just downloaded a HD icon pack I found that I liked and put it on the root of my SD card. When I go to change it in Launcherpro, it takes me to my albums but I can't find the icons anywhere.
Can anyone help me out here or provide me with some kind of tutorial?? Thanks!
Here is an easy way. When you put them on your sd card create a file for them so it will be easier to find them. That's what I had to do.
sent from the phone that is EVO
Yeah, but it automatically takes me into my albumbs when I choose to apply a custom icon. It doesn't even give me the option to explore the root of my SD card. How would I go about fixing this?

Make sure you unzip the icon pack first. Use es file explorer to unzip the icon pack then you can find them.

Yup, just make a folder, and put it in your pictures folder. (Where camera shots are stored.)

[MOD] Windows Phone 7 Tick Sound AT&T / T-Mo

I customized the UI sounds for the SGS3: Tick Effect & Keyboard sounds with that of WP7 tick sound and customized the camera / video button sound, etc.
Make sure you rename your stock UI sounds (Example: *tick_effect) before you over-right them.
Upzip / copy and paste in: System>Media>Audio>ui

What seems to be the prob? Just download the zip to your sdcard, unzip it, open root explorer, copy and paste the apk's you want to install and copy and paste them in: Root/System/app
Should be it. *might have to install it and or change permissions*
Awesome! I had to turn off the touch clicks and, since I hate haptic feedback, it's nice to be able to regain some response in the phone's UI.
Thanks.
If you want to further customize your UI to resemble WP7 here is the font.
Should be able to just install the apk and go to settings display and set font.http://db.tt/Wmgm3nST

when i try to rename the stock ui sounds so i can ad the new ones root explore says something about bricking my device lol can anyone give me the steps to do this correctly
Use root explorer, make the directory r/w, copy the sounds into system / media / audio / ui folder.... You will (or should be if you are doing it right) be overwriting pre existing files. Once done and you have overwritten the sounds you wanted to change, reboot phone.
You may need to rename the file if you want it represent/be used for another function. For example, inside the zip file there is a file names backspace.ogg..... Say you want to use it for the TW_touch.ogg sound.... You will need to rename it and all that. Only problem is by the time you cuztomize things to the way you like, a new updated rom is put out and you have to do it again!

It's just warning you because you are editing system settings. Renaming anything in the specified folder won't cause any damage.
ok so i unzipped the file on my sd card extracted to a folder i named ui on the sd card....now when i try to copy the files and move them to the system ui folder it says copy of all files failed..i mam using es file explorer

Use Root Explorer, other file managers won't have permission to change system files. With Root Explorer you will also need to select Mount R/W to be able to write to the system folder.
Make sure you rename all the original files if you ever want to use the original sounds again...I just went back to AOSP lock/unlock sounds, the WP7 sound was a bit sharp.
all worked as soon as i got root explorer thanks guys, am dissapointed though as i am looking to get away from the drip and water sounds, i guess i want a more iphone like sound for typing and lock and unlock without having the iphone....any ideas

You can replace them also... Just need to identify the sound files you want and the name(s) of the files to replace... Easy peasy.....

I assure you, you wont brick your device from just renaming a sound file. I do it all the time. Maybe its for when you try and rename a needed framework or system file.

Where I should write my ringtones in order to Android recognize them

Hi every, I've downloaded several ringtones using Zedge application as yours should notice in the img1.png attached. I'm trying to change the default tone using one of this and can't see them. Where I should place them in the internal storage (see img2.png)?
Cheers and thanks in advance

Wrong section. Your post is supposed to be in "Q & A" section.
You just need to create a folder "Ringtones" in the internal SD card. Then copy your ringtones to this folder.

You could also put in the system folder if you have root access. I currently have the Skyrocket so this solution might not work for you. I put my .ogg file in /system/media/audio/ and then into the proper sub directory either /alarms /notifications or /ringtones. Then rebooted my system and I could assign them properly. Actually the first suggestion worked for me as well, but I just like having all my files in the same place. So it might work or it might not... i can't say for sure. I subscribe to the nexus development because g/f's mom who has the nexus and likes slim rom a lot.

Yeah I think that the .ogg will work for sure. I just used root explorer the app to find out what my other ringtones were and then converted the ringtone to that file.
You have to put your ringtones in a folder called "Ringtones". Not just in the internal SD card.

I have a few mp3's and ringtones I got from zedge as well and I couldn't see them at first - you just need to let the mediascanner find them. A reboot will force the phone's mediascanner to do so, or it'll find them on its own in a little bit.

Ringtone/mp3 files will not be available as ringtones unless they are in the ringtones folder. Rebooting the phone won't change that, at least not with the stock ROM.

One reason to NOT put custom ring tones in the /system/media/audio/ringtones folder is that if you wipe your system (to change ROM's, for example), is that the system wipe would then also wipe your custom ringtones. However, if you place them in the Ringtones folder on your sdcard, that doesn't get wiped, and you'll be able to use the ringtones right away after flashing a new ROM, and you won't have to re-copy them onto your phone.

The post before mine had already ascertained which folder to put them in, I was just adding that to force a mediascan of that folder a reboot would do the trick. Sorry for any confusion
install es file explorer on to your phone.
When you want to select a new ringtone, the phone will ask you to either select a "system tone" or "select a file" (using the file explorer)
then you just navigate to the sound file no matter what folder you stored it in (on your sd)

[Q] Trouble with hacked 4g hotspot opening certain web pages

So here is my problem.
When using my hotspot on my Win8 computer, it wont let me click through certain webpages like cashback websites like bigcrumbs and ebates and gets stuck on the redirection pages like "anrdoezrs.net" when tranfering me to a specific website. It won't fuly transfer me through to the store I want to gain cashback at.
I recently got the new computer with Win8 on it. Now that I have have tried my hotspot on multiple Win8 computers with it not working, I'm assuming it must be the problem. It ran perfectly with Win7 beforehand.
I am currently running [ROM]Phantom's Blazer Rom[Yo][8/2/12][v0.1.5][FF18]
I did notice on the tethering options of my phone that it did not list that it supported Win8. (Yet it does work for mostly all of the websites except the ones I'm speaking of).
Is there a way to fix my problem with the Rom version I'm running right now? (I know its a little outdated).
Do I need to update to a newer version of the Blazer rom? Or should I get a different rom?
(I need to have a rom that has the 4g hacked hotspot and it need to be able to be used with my PS3 for online gaming as well).
Thanks for listening

Seriously though, it's a text file. Just delete it or delete its contents.
Also, I believe using your phone as a hotspot without paying for it is violating your TOS. It's a good way to get kicked off the network.
