how would you go about taking the ringtones off a phone?
id take all the ones from the milestone to throw up here *there is ALOT of different ringtones on this phone for stock.*
Removing system Ringtones, etc.
Code:
adb remount
adb rm /system/media/audio/ringtones/*.*
Will remove all ringtones.
Code:
adb remount
adb rm /system/media/audio/notifications/*.*
Will remove all notifications.
Code:
adb remount
adb rm /system/media/audio/alarms/*.*
Will remove all alarm sound files.
Root Explorer is worth the couple of bucks on Market, especially for this kind of thing.
For chosing sound files on your SD card (notifications and ringtones) I use RingsExtended, which is available for free on the Android Market. If you prefer a directory structure instead of scrolling through a long list of file names, OI File Manager allows this. If you want to use the default ringtone picker and you have Apps2SD, put your files in:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/
or
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications/
or
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms/
depending on how you want to use them. (I hope that 's self-explanatory. If it's not, too bad. Figure it out. Not to be mean, but I know you can if you put some effort into it.)
Here's my list of Ringtones, etc There are about 440 in this zip.
http://www.mediafire.com/?mym2vmgyzri
1. I have named all the files shorter than 10 seconds with a prefix of "Alert-"
2. I have renamed all the files from 10 to 30 seconds with a prefix of "Ring-"
3. I have renamed all the files longer than 30 seconds with a prefix of "Alarm-" in hope that people will start waking themselves gently with a ramp up time on their alarm tones. (I may add some files that actually ramp up in volume for the cheapskates who won't spend a buck on a ramping alarm app. I may not. I know how tough it is to have to scrimp a dollar, but I also realize developers work their hineys off for peanuts. If you can support a developer, do, so that those who genuinely can't, like some independent developers, can still have access to decent free apps.)
Not all of the files with "Alert-" on them were intended to be notifications. Many of them were intended to be ringtones. My naming convention is determined by temporal length exclusively, except for a couple of 9-second files. Please feel free to use "Alert-" files as ringtones, as they genereally have a file size of less than 50kb and can be accessed quickly when your phone starts the incoming call process. I used the word "Alert" since it struck me as generic, but still helps define how long the sound file is.
I have converted these to ogg-vorbis format since the Xda-Developers' forum around reducing time before Android phones ring determined ogg was the fastest. I did it with the Windows app "Audacity." If you want to add effects, convert to and from a few widely-used formats, or otherwise manipulate sound files, I strongly recommend this free download: AUDACITY
Most of these are readily available online. A few of them I wrote. Some of them I downloaded and doctored up. My apologies to the authors/composers/developers if I butchered them. If you want credit, please, please alert me. The only reason I didn't give credit is that I didn't know where to put it. OK, yes, I have to apologize to HTC. They are just consistently good in the sound and graphics departments.
EDIT (15 Mar, Mon): I Edited the Metadata so it includes the prefixes. When you're using Rings Extended now, all of the alerts will be together, and all of the rings will be together. If it didn't have Metadata, I left it out so that it'll use the file name. Sorry about that.
Has anyone ever noticed how much alike the iPhone and Tmo stock rings are?
Here's a little something for anyone who wants. It's no *great* shakes, but I figure they can use all the help we can give them. I like these... in an office-appropriate way.
thanks man
has anyone got the facebook pop sound that they could post?
edit: never mind i found it
Here you guys go. Had to reupload them

try saving it as .wav on your \windows dir
Umm...look above....lol... gues i was too wordy....
Thought I'd take a chance with this one. First what format is the media type you are working with. I have found under sounds and notifications -- >Start >Settings > Sounds and Notifications is where you have the granularity to make some choices. First you have to make sure a .wav format of the file exists in the correct Windows folder of your mobile OS to be able to use the file (*hint locate the names of the default sounds listed in the S&N dropdown list*). Took me about a week to realize that i was bound by M$ file types (.wav). If you need to convert a file from one format to another there are an assundry of apps to look at, but i recommend a look at audacity (only for quick learning curve and open source app).
Hope this provides some insight. As I am using a rom i found on this forum i don't remember the default path for a Kaiser or AT&T tilt anymore. Locating the file browser via activesync should provide more help in locating where the file should reside.
Don't toss the phone or if you want to sling it my way, wy wife could use the device (best I have had to date IMHO).
Cheers and good luck.
For the record, WAV and MIDI files will only work if they are in the \windows\ directory in the root of your device. This confused me when I first got my Tilt because my Wizard would see them in \My Documents\ on my SD card.
Not sure about wavs or midis, but it will use MP3s off of the storage card.
I'm using L26 v5 ROM and the MP3s in the Mp3 directory on my SD card root all show up under selectable ring tones.
Yeah as ringtones. But not text message tones, correct?
@Renegade503 we welcome your eagerness to learn about your device. But your flooding our board with n00bish questions, and repeatedly posting about stuff you can find in the manual sooo
RTFM ...
Just in case you dont understand what that means, and so you dont make another post asking what it means, i will just tell you..
Read The F**king Manual
Please Please Please do some reading on this site and on others, you might want to start with howardforums.com so that you may get a better grip on just what kind of phone you have. You can also read our wiki that has a wealth of information. Most people on here is not going to spoon feed you the answers.
i'm not a mod but maybe combine his threads into one?
Is there a confirmed app that works for this?
I got tone picker - great as a volume control but the chosen tone doesnt take and reverts back to what ever the original tone was.
tried rings extended and that crashes when you run it.
Is it a simple case of copy the mp3 file I want into a 'ringtones' folder in the root somewhere? Like you did on the ol' WM phones?
Cheers in advance
gurry
You do not need and app although there are several on the market that will do this.... to use your own ringtones you need to create a directory structure on the root of your sd card like this:
media/audio/alarms
media/audio/notifications
media/audio/ringtones
media/audio/ui
copy your mp3's to media/audio/ringtones and then they will be selectable in the normal way.
Oh this information is available in the posts already... using the search sometimes helps although in fairness there are a lot of posts to go through
So as I like to listen to audio books very much and as I bought WinPhone I decided to write this app.
It does a really simple thing - generates a podcast feed from a folder that you give to app (with audio book). Than you "subscribe" to this self-made "podcast",set to play it from the oldest one, sync all "episodes" with your phone and that's it.
If you have a windows phone 8.1+ device please follow to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...oks2-audio-t2922308/post56362244#post56362244
ElAudioBooks - my new app for listening to audio books.
[0.1]
First release
So there are 7 steps you need to do. They a really simple
I'll comment them a little:
At step 1 you need to select folder with files of audiobooks.
Typically you will have smth like
01.mp3
02.mp3
03.mp3
etc. in the correct folder.
At step 2
I try to get and sort all files of audiobook.
You can have 2 types of sorting for now:
like string: 1.mp3 10.mp3 2.mp3 20.mp3
like int: 1.mp3 2.mp3 10.mp3 20.mp3
It's for setting up the right playing order.
Hope you got it
Step 3 is the name of the book. The same name will be on your phone.
Step 4. Select a free port for your system and press Start button.
If it hadn't threw an exception it is a good sign
Step 5.
Now you have a feed url.
It should be smth like http://localhost:8888/feed.xml
Step 6. Add podcast to zune with this feed. Set it up to play the older episodes first and to sync ALL episodes with your phone.
Step 7. Actually sync your device and listen to your book
There's also video available on how to:
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/how-to-get-mp3-audiobooks-to-your-windows-phone-tutorial/23369/
[0.1.1]
@fixed a bug when file names contain spaces.
*minor changes with url handling
[0.1.2]
*now file names can be in unicode
[0.2.0]
*Remembers last opened folder
*Feed url now depends on book name
*Can set custom image for your book
*Log for what is happening
*Minor UI improvements
[0.2.1]
*Scans all subfolders for audio files in the selected folder (in case you have 4ex disk1, disk2, etc..)
*Tries to autofind albumart in the folder with audio book
@Fixed exception when trying to add another book without closing the app
*ability to add info about audiobook to overview section on the phone.
Thanks very much for this
Wonderful!
What about albumart? (I'm downloading right now)
For now it's just a pretty picture of audio book.
May be I'll implement custom pictures in future...
Can this work with protected file?
I don't have any of them, so I don't know....
Updated with new version!
This is awesome!! I have just spent a ton of time trying to find a long and complicated way of doing what your program does in minutes. This makes life so much easier.
Custom pictures would be great.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
Updated with new version.
Now with custom picture for a book.
Awesome
This is really awesome. Keep up the great work.
Very helpful - thanks much!
Feature request: it'd be great to add support for a directory hierarchy instead of a single folder. (This would be helpful for multi-disc audiobooks that are organized into subfolders like Disc1\, Disc2\, etc.)
I'd be glad to assist with coding if needed.

Accepted, I'll code it. Shouldn't be difficult
This is great!
Very nice piece of software!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you! This solves the problem of getting them to list in the correct order!
Now that they show in the correct order under podcasts, is there any way to get one podcast to go automatically to the next file in the series?
I have short segments (5 minutes each, on a 6 hour book) and it's driving me crazy to have to go back to the podcast directory every five minutes and start the next one.
Just hit the play button on the podcast itself (the small triangle on the upper right of the album art) - that will play the segments in the order that you've set in the podcast properties. (For an audiobook, set the playback order to "Oldest first.")
Yes, in Zune set up that podcast should be played from the last (oldest) episode!
Great software, thank you so much.
Thanks very much for the app. It solved the Audio Book problem for me. I do have a "feature request/noob question" though. Can you make the custom picture start looking from the folder I choose the book to be in and not the last folder?
Also not that it really matters but when I start on the next book I get the error:
system.net.httplistenerexception: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request
at system.net.httplistener.getcontext()
at EIWPAudioBooks.FormCreateAudioBook.StartHttpServer(Object State)
I just close the app after each book so its not really a problem although I usally do a few books at a time.

1.adobe flash can export gif instead of swf.
2.there are apps that convert avi to gif, just google
3.it is also possible to convert flv(youtube) to gif files
Hi, I noticed on your link that the "Terms of Service" do nothing. Is there a link this is supposed to got to? When clicking on it nothing happens.
Also, I think this is a good idea for boot animations, but looking through your previous posts, you seem to be requesting help a lot, (not that that is bad, but none of it is relative to this). How did you come up with this site, and where are the uploaded files going to?

Thanks for reminding me about that link. I removed it
My background is mostly web development and system managements in php and linux(most redhat and suse). So making this site was not that hard. I had the idea for a while, I only decided to get it done about two weeks ago. I found a few documents describing the bootanimation.zip structure and found a very nicely detailed document inside the atrix bootanimation which gave me a lot of details I wanted. The rest was simply playing around in php and linux to create a simple version of aboota.
For now I am keeping the files on my server so in near future when search and browse are complete we can share our creations with others, and hopefully on other phones too.
Cool. Thanks. I'll try your site when I have time at my pc.

But since it's also somehow a question I hope it's ok in here.)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Edit October 15th, 2013: With the GDR3-Update you get this feature built-in, so no more need to do this then!
Hi Folks,
while AlvinPhilemon found out a registry tweak to set custom sounds on the Samsung Ativ S (as explained in this post), it is not quite practical, since you can't see the sound in the list with the others, so you can't choose or switch them without always edit the registry.
I found another way to do this, and I think it's a bit more elegant (see attachment to have a look), although it only can change the sms, e-mail or mailbox sounds.
This is what you need:
1. Interop Unlock
2. Registry Editor (use SamWP8 Tools)
3. Full File System Access (use SamWP8 Tools)
4. Your Notification sound (I tried mp3-, wav- and wma-format, all worked)
This is how you do it:
1. On your PC, browse to your Phone\PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\Sounds\ and paste your new sound there.
2. To make it visible in your sounds selection list inside the Settings-app you have to create a registry entry: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\OEM\Sounds\Notifications\ (This is the Samsung specific location for notifications; I tried the whole thing with the standard Microsoft sound location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Sounds\Notifications\ but it didn't work). In this registry location you can see a list of the the existing Samsung notification sounds ("Knock.wma", "On time.wma" and "Whistle.wma") and how their name is displayed in the Settings-app ("Knock", "On time" and "Whistle").
3. Create a new key and set the Value to the name of your soundfile (for example "Silvestro.mp3"), the Type to String and the Data to the name how you want it to be displayed. There might be an error notification after writing, but just read the key to check you wrote it correctly.
4. Done! Go to the Settings-app and choose the newly created sound as message, mailbox, or e-mail-sound!
What do you think of this solution? Of course it would be nice to pack this feature in an app that first lets you choose a soundfile from the Public or SD-Folder, then copies it, then creates a registry entry and then also is able to delete those things an put everything back to normal, but since I'm just starting with C# there's no way I can do this myself. Anybody interested in trying?
Thanks for your comments!
Very nice work, and good tutorial. It would, indeed, be good to get an app to automate this. You would need ID_CAP_SOUND_CONTROL (may require full capability unlock); this capability should enable both the requisite file system and registry access.
It's a shame that is not available by default like on every other smart and dumb phone in the world. This is one of WP many short comings that MS refuses to address.
Thanks
Nice tuturial, thanks.
I am a satisfied galaxy s4 owner. Before this phone i had the htc 8x. I liked wp8 a lot, but unfortunally some essential apps (for me) where still missing. Beside the very good os, i also like all the default sounds. Thats where my question comes in.
I'm looking for the complete set of Windows phone 8 notification sounds. Is it possible to copy them from a wp8 phone and post them here? I would like to have the windows sounds in my galaxy.
Great news!
With the GDR3-update comes the feature to set custom sounds for Messages/Mailbox/Reminder!
So this is no longer needed...
more easy way
I just renamed my ringtone the same as the existing tone in the map \PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\Sounds\.
Then I renamed the original sound (I have put "old" in front of the original tekst.)
Now I copied the rington in the map \PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\Sounds\.
Choose the ringtone on your phone, and it plays your ringtone.
I converted the mp3 ringtone to wma. I didn't try if it plays mp3.
The name of the original ringtones doesn't match the name in the phone, but you can play them first on your pc, to see witch one to replace.
