Root [ROM] Nov-13 MeanROM ICS v6.3 | 2.13.651.1 | Mods | Batt saver | OC 1.7 Ghz

ok not sure if those ringtones will stick like that. have you tried and just put them on the card? or maybe once the rom is flashed then move it to the system/media partition.

I have tried all of those ways...I might try another ROM later today to see if that fixes the problem. Anyone have any suggestions for a good Sense based ROM?

 

[ocnbrze]

viper is another great rom to try

You can add them to the appropriate folder after flashing. I've done that many times.

The above works just fine, or if you want to add em before flashing follow below.

If you want to have those show up properly you need to open the Rom up with an archive app like 7zip. Open it up and drag and drop the FOLDER you want the ringtones in out of the Rom.zip. add the songs into that folder. Then open the Rom up again from 7zip, then drag AMD drop the FOLDER back in. Hit the up folder button in the top left hand side to go up. This should give you a prompt to update the archive, select yes. Then exit.

This will properly add the files in for you.

I went through this when I played with themeing many moons ago.

Well it seems that I cant get any of the tones to show up with any ROM...I have tried three different ROMs and had no luck. I am wondering if this something that happened during the rooting process because all of the ringtones, notification sounds and alarms showed up just fine before. The thing I can't understand is why even the tones that come with the ROMs aren't even showing up...the only options I get are Default and Facebook Pop.

Go in a file explorer up to root. Then system>media>audio and there is where everything is stored. In the aptly named folders.

 

[Granite1]

You can also place any audio files you want to use as ringtones or notifications on your SD card.

Make a folder structure like this:

Media / Ringtones - This is where you put the ringtones
Under the same Media folder: / Notifications - place the noitification files in here

They'll show up when you select to change a ringtone or notification.

I do this because I flash different roms all the time, gets to be a PITA adding files into every rom.

Okay, so I think I figured out what the problem is but I don't know how to correct it. When I use ES File Explorer to look around my phone and SD card I noticed that there is a two SD card folders (sdcard & sdcard2). I have no idea how this could be since obviously the phone can only hold one SD card. When I mount to my laptop the only one of those folders that opens is sdcard and I know that this since I deleted all the files in it using ES File Explorer after I had moved them to the sdcard2 folder. So my thought is that my phone is not recognizing the correct folder where the files are stored. If anyone has any idea whats going on here please shed some light. Thanks!

So the phone has an internal SD card?

not really an actual card. just part of the internal memory is setup like it has one.

I trying to read through that guide for the link you posted in between a crying baby...is there anyway to disable that part so I can use my regular SD card that I inserted?

I can't find anything on "MTP for all your file transferring", can you explain what this is?

I think it might be the right thing to do, but would you suggest copying everything to sdcard2 would be a good idea if I use ([MOD] Swap names on /sdcard and /sdard2) since the phone would then search here first after the rename for any of the files that were on sdcard before?

EDIT:

I copied the files to sdcard2, did the name swap and when I plugged into my laptop nothing happened, so I went back and renamed the file paths to their original names.

Howdy,
When you plug the usb cable into pc and phone, you get an option to choose what sort of connection you want.

On the mean rom, if you choose Media Sync, then open device to look at files when it pops up on desktop, I get a phone and sdcard folder in windows explorer.

bump

just curious on the bump.

are you having issues? or just want to let everyone know of the update?

 

[jackie08]

I am on meanrom ics 6.3 and waiting for meanbean to get settled to not have to flash every day can I update to this J75IMG_3.15.651.6-no-boot-recovery.zip and be ready when I fill comfortable to flashing meanbean thanks in advance

 

[windsorclarenc]

Yes you can flash that just to be ready. It won't mess up your current setup at all. If you're s-off just rename it to PJ75IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd card and let bootloader do the rest of the work.
