[AUDIO FILES] Have a very OGG-y AudioResources.zip (EDITED 2:11pm)

IF I'M USING YOUR RESOURCES.ZIP, LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CREDIT YOU!
I didn't see anyone having done this before on a search, and I apologize if it's been done already. I put together all the audio resources I could find for ringtones, alarms, notifications, and ui, converted them all to very small .ogg's and put them in a new zip. It's a little over 9 megs and has a LOT of stuff. Enjoy.
Oh, and if you have more to add, post them. I'll convert them it and add it to the zip
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
1. Unzip
2. IF you are using a media2sd script, put the media folder on your ext partition. If not, use it to replace the one on your phone. I recommend using adb, or just mounting the thing in linux. It'll make it simpler.
3. REBOOT and give your phone some time to index all the ringtones. It'll take some time.
AudioResources.zip:
http://www.lighthousesolutions.info/AudioResources.zip
EDIT:
A LOT of people are downloading and nobody is posting additional links, which means (I hope) that I didn't miss any sound files. I'm glad I could help people out, and if anybody else has anything to contribute please POST! Thanks.
Also, I forgot to post this the first time. Themers and rom developers (hell anyone) feel free to use the converted .ogg's in whatever you want. They aren't mine to start with, but I figure I better make the statement clear.
Enjoy

Thanks! Can't have too many random ringtones to choose from I say. Already got the giant mega audio resource list from the other topic that includes all the various android phones, this will just help more.

I think this includes all of those, although if you find some that I'm missing, please post them. The main draw of this is that all of sound files are as tiny as possible, making it so you can fit them on internal memory if you want to, or just use less space. The entire thing is only 9.4 mb, and it includes the ringtones from the hero and magic.
Post any ringtones it doesn't contain so I can squish them down to tiny size too.

I can't find any media2sd scripts on the forum. Can any one point me in the right direction?

You don't have your rom in your sig, so my help will have to be very basic. I run cyanogen's experimental rom (not for the faint of heart) and huanyu's user customizable script. Other than that I can't offer much help. What I can say is that if you push the ENTIRE contents of this zip to your ext partition on your sd card and use huanyu's script with media2sd activated, you'll be fine.
Huanyu also has a version of his script for the stable series of cyanogens roms.
I have NO idea how to do media2sd on hero. I don't support hero as an os and will never use it unless the ENTIRE android community decides to go that route.
If you are using another rom let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I'm currently on Drizzy's newest hero build, but the guts are the same. I went back and did some research and that script is working thanks for the help.

No problem, and I'm glad they're working out for you. So far I've got over 100 downloads, so it seems people like this.
Anybody with any additional tones to be added? I'd really like to beef it up!

I'd love to give you some of miine but I don't have any that don't have a copyright next to it but if you want them anyway I'll upload them for you.

Thank you mate!

Are any of them for a released or soon to be released android phone? I could put together a "legal" and a "questionable" vesion, although the latter might have to be off the forum (hint hint). I'd like to keep the one on here being full of nothing but official android and htc ringtones for released and soon to be released (ie leaked) android devices.

Noob Question...
I'm running CyanogenMod-4.0.4 + Recovery 1.4 and the community hero rom and was wondering how I should go about implementing this audio resources zip. Do i apply the update from the recovery? Or is there some other way of getting them on?

You can push them to /system/media....but I'd recommend using hyanu's userinit.sh script instead. media2sd is FAR superior for the number of sound files were talking about here.

any chance of this being posted elsewhere? Was looking to download this, but the site doesn't seem to exist.

Can't use my host for any more hosting of FREE ringtones

awesome..! thanks
i may use it for DarkDream theme

the #.ogg files in the notification folder are made by moonspoon.
BTW i just installed your theme..WOW
I couldn't get CMupdater to download it but i got it from your site

thanks im glad you like it
i tried the new cmupdater in 1.6 and i cant add my theme server without FC

I'f i was you till cmupdater is fixed, place a direct link to the file on your site

thanks for posting this stuff! very nice

Sorry for being such a noob. But could I bother someone to give me steps on pushing this to my phone? (mytouch).

Adding root to a custom build.. devs, a little help please?

So, I'm messing about with building android from the source, just as a learning process and for my own personal satisfaction at this point.
I've come most of the way under my own steam.. got a build up and running from the donut-plus-aosp branch, all google apps included and working.. but I don't actually know how to include root access in the build.. I know this is probably an embarrasingly simple question for a dev, and I feel suitably stupid for having to ask.
Also.. now you're here.. apps2sd.. do I need to compile anything special for that or is it just a bunch of symlinks in init.rc?
Muchos gracias.

I believe the root access is located in the kernel (boot.img)
You would also want to include the SU binaries and busybox.
For the apps2sd, the apps2sd script is run from the init.rc IIRC
Do not hold me up on this because I have not even looked at Android yet, but this is what I gather from reading the forums. I'm hoping it may give you a little direction while someone who has actually built from the source steps in

Thanks. I've already included the su binary and superuser apk but couldn't launch them, so I thought I must be missing something either in the kernel or init.rc.
I was hoping not to have to build the kernel manually just yet.. walk before you can fly and all that, but maybe it's time to grow some wings.

You should just compile cyanogen's kernel. he has it on his github. btw.. did you add busybox? i think apps2sd requires it but im not sure.(check logcat on startup, see what errors its throwing)

I've just added busybox in, but I can't do anything with apps2sd until I get root sorted.
I'm sticking with the 2.6.29-donut kernel for now.. cyan's includes loads of patches that I don't understand yet.. I'll compile it and see what happens purely as an experiment but I reckon it'll give me problems...

Just looking at the configuration options for cyan's kernel makes me feel like a dad trying to program a vcr

btw if your building from ASOP, it should already have root. I think you only need to add it to T-mobile OTA's

It's not working for me.. I just get "permission denied"

Well I've got root by running chmod 4777 on /bin/sh, but this leaves root access wide open to everything and bypasses the confirmation check from superuser.apk... Come on devs, I could really do with a few tips here!

I think I've got it now... thanks to all the devs, you were a real help here.

i know, they are so helpful right?
Actually they never come by here anymore because of the supernoob questions
I suggest you try to pm,twitter, or website the devs. many of them are very helpful, but cannot stand noobs. as long as you do your research (like u did) you should get help

Hmmm, as I'm also building AOSP from scratch, I would have liked you to have at least posted the conclusion. I feel like several pages were ripped out of my copy of the story.

[Q] Clockwork Recovery

Has anybody heard if perhaps we could see something from unrevoked?
I love ROM MRG, use it on several of my phones.
Would love to have it on this thing too.
Dennis

If anybody is up for the challenge, they can compile Clockwork recovery for the Galaxy Tab by following these steps:
*EDIT* - seeing as how I'm not permitted to post links yet, you can find the steps by simply Googling 'porting clockwork recovery'
It's written by Koush on his website.
I don't think the SGT uses MTD though, so you'll have to use dd to dump the boot image.

I'm not up for that. I would happily do it with some help, but not on my own.

I know there are plenty of people here capable of doing this much quicker than I would. Considering I would be learning as I go.
I'm pretty good at figuring things out, but I don't have a build environment set up and really would only use it for this.
No takers?
D

Yeah,there are plenty of people capable, but weneed to wait for them to get a Tab :/
Sent from my GT-P1000

I'm happy to supply whatever is needed off mine. For some reason (maybe that I play too much) I never feel safe without a NAND backup.

What I needed to start this I am willing to help. I got the TMobile Samsung Galaxy Tab?

So does Clockwork Recovery have a lower level recovery than Titanium Backup? I am just curious because I am new to all of this and am looking for a backup solution myself.
Looking through Titanium Backup help files, it seems that you are left on your own with recovering the ROM. The ROM MRG function you mention seems it would take care of even that.
Thanks for any further light you can shed on this topic for me

I was looking into building clockwork,
But my ubuntu is being stupid and will not install java-5jdk
It will only install java6 and java 6 is incompatible.
I will look into this a little bit more.

I built the entire Android Open Source Project (AOSP Git/Repo code from the master Froyo 2.2 branch) on Ubuntu 32bits from inside a virtual machine running on Mac OS X 64 bits, using Open-JDK/SDK Java6 (v1.6). The official Android documentation says it's impossible, but there's a workaround, maybe that can help:
./core/main.mk
=> comment the "error" statement that makes the build fail when testing for: ifneq (64,$(findstring 64,$(build_arch)))
./external/clearsilver/cgi/Android.mk
./external/clearsilver/java-jni/Android.mk
./external/clearsilver/util/Android.mk
./external/clearsilver/cs/Android.mk
=> change from 64 to 32 in "LOCAL_CFLAGS += -m64" and "LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -m64"
Easy

That looks like a fix for 64-bit to 32-bit.

[DEV]Chroot-Linux on Xperia Devices Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders(Debian,Ubuntu,BT5up)

Hi,
I have just bought a new Xperia Pro and Here is My first Contribution.Hope you guys like it.
I have tested it personally on the Unoffical MIUI port for PRO.But it should work on other Kernels and Xperia Devices as well.
I am posting a few Screens for you guys and as you can see lxde is already pre-installed for you guys.
Feel Free to comment
Disclaimer:-
I am Not responsible if anything Happens to your Phone.You do it at your own Risk and Responsibilty,

What is chroot?
A chroot image is like a Virtual Machine where you are running an O.S within an O.S.The point of this is that you have a whole Linux System running on a phone where you can ofcourse access all the utilities available in Linux.and as it runs inside of android you dont need to flash anything and can use both the chrooted O.S and Android together.
Things required:-
1)Terminal
2)Root
3)Sdcard with atleast 2GB of free space
4)A Brain

Hi! Have you tried this on stock kernel? I believe stock kernel doesn't have loop devices enabled and MIUI is a rebase of CM? Not sure though that's why I'm asking.

The Miui i used was on Stock Kernel.The Kernel Does Support Loop devices.Miui is a Rebase of CM but the loop functionality is related to Kernel.So,Yes it Works on Stock Kernel on Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders Both as we are not flashing anything.
Anyway Give Ubuntu a go.

Thanks! Just clarifying things out I haven't meddled with stock kernel that much that's why I am asking. Well the kernel sources sony provided has loop devices disabled by default glad that it's enabled on the official precompiled one.
Anyways! Try packing backtrack that should be alot useful than debian w/ lxde or a classic ubuntu image.
I got backtrack to run on Pro sometime ago when I was still using gingerbread.

Hi! seeing that you're a fanatic of these perhaps it would be useful if I give you these.
http://50.56.186.177/filez/
Those are packed and reduced sizes of debian & fedora arm images made to fit for chrooting on mobile devices. I made those for my previous device and is very stable already with 256mb RAM
the debian image is a squeeze version. Plus included is the fix for pulse audio. I'm not sure if it would work out of the box for android but with just a little bit knowledge with basic linux stuffs you could get it running perfectly

THANKS for the link...Meego wont chroot..tried it on the optimus a few months ago and failed..problem with zephyr..will give it a go later.fedora I had as well..but the thing is ...Does anyone except me even use these here????

I do but not that much. Like I said I just only tried backtrack and obviously I use it only when needed
Say do you think it would be possible to include a custom kernel on a chrooted image? It would be cool if we have backtrack here with monitor mode enabled. I think the wlan drivers/hardware of Xperia devices have the capability.
Or also try posting this thread to some other Xperia Sub forums. Arc/Pro users seem to be not very open to these kind of works. They just care on custom ROMs
In short they aren't geeky enough They aren't even that interested in dual booting.

In theory yes its possible.but changes will have to be made to the arm kernel to chroot.when u type uname in terminal the output inside the chroot is different than the android kernel.but I think native booting will be better than chrooting..not being interested is just odd....its so much fun having linux on the go

Actually I know I am going to say something Off-Topic
1) People on XDA are now the people who have got a smartphone just because they can afford one and wanna make their phone look "kewl" than the others with the same device
2) People do dumb things like cross flashing kernels.. They dont even read carefully what the OP says..
3) Running linux on a phone would be the best thing.. specially on an xperia pro where you get a harware keyboard..

[ DIY ] How To Compile Your Own Nightlies (and Learn Something in the Process)

--- copied with permission from nathanpfry.com ---​
Hi everyone! Have you ever wanted to compile your own nightlies, but are too intimidated or "not a dev"?
For various reasons, I've decided to write a guide about how you too can enter the wonderful world of development.
Before we begin, I'm going to say one thing. I'll probably repeat it a bunch of times too, to be sure everyone reads it at least once while skimming through this. PLEASE GOOGLE YOUR QUESTION FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE ASKING IT HERE. The main reason I wrote this guide is to try to refocus the point of the "Development" forums on XDA. There are many users out there that seem to think this is a place to make demands for answers without trying to contribute or learn anything themselves. Developing isn't an easy thing. You should know a little bit of Linux going into this, if not, prepare yourself for some reading. This isn't the place for you to ask how to install Ubuntu, or why you need 64 bit. Just have a little faith and trust me.
Major thanks goes out to Hashcode.. Seriously, you have no idea what an inspiration he's been. For all intents and purposes, this guide will show you how to set up your system and compile ROMs based on his work, perhaps even help work on fixes. I suppose I should thank google, cyanogenmod, team aokp, thingonaspring (minimoto rocks!) a few others. You know who you are.
On with the show.
Here's a list of things you will need:
1) A decent computer (at least dual core, 2+ gig of RAM, 50 gig free HD space) capable of running Linux
2) A copy of Builduntu
3) Spare time and the desire to learn.
Double check that your main system is 64 bit. 32 bit OS will not work!
Once you get Builduntu up and running (there are instructions @ the above link), read on.
You need to make a decision. What flavor of Android do you want to compile? In other words, AOKP, Cyanogenmod, AOSP, LiquidSmooth, SimpleAOSP etc etc etc.
For the purposes of teaching everyone, I'm going to base this guide on AOKP.
You've made it this far, you're basically almost there. *cue motivational montage music*
When Builduntu says, "initialize the build repo", that means to sync your source code with a git repository. Run these commands in a terminal:
Code:
mkdir ~/android
Code:
cd ~/android
The following command will do the actual initialization:
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b jb-mr1
Ok, after this next part you're going to want to take a break. It's time to actually download to your computer (sync) the source code. As of writing this guide, it is over 10 gigabytes of information, depending on which "flavor" of Android. In the terminal:
Code:
repo sync
Don't worry, just execute and walk away. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, this could take a long time. Anywhere from one hour to "maybe-you-should-do-this-before-you-go-to-sleep". Up next is actually doing the compiling.
When that finishes, you have the source code. Let's get to business. This next bit will probably take a while also, but again, it's a set-it-and-forget-it situation.
Code:
cd ~/android
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch yourdevicenamehere
make otapackage
That should do it! Watch for errors, but everything should work at this point. Again, how long this takes is completely dependent on how fast your computer is. If it completes without a hitch, you'll have a flashable zip file located in ~/android/out/target/product/yourdevicename/
Congrats, you just compiled from source! Now, if you really want to get adventurous, you can start delving into the code itself and make some changes. But this post isn't the place to get into all that. Good luck, and please say thanks if this guide was helpful!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE If you happen to find an error in my guide (not just a question about it!) PLEASE PM ME. I will give you credit in the post. A potentially useful fix could be buried pages deep in the thread and unfortunately get lost if it's only a reply. Thanks!

Many thanks!
Although I didn't tried this howto yet, I feel obligated to thank you for this. In the past I though about trying to do something directly tweaking the code and, who knows, contribute with something nice to our "D3 society". But could never figure how to start it. I will spend some time trying to make it work using this "manual" and give some feedback about it.
Again, thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to show the community how to contribute and give back what has been given.

Thanks for this awesome guide! I followed your directions and did produce a zip that I can flash with safestrap. Unfortunately it will not boot though:crying: Is there anything else to do with the kexec zip to make it safestrap compatible? Or did I just screw something up
Either way I am glad I did this and without your 2 great guides I never would have. So thank you again sylentprofet! :highfive:

Hmmmmmm. That is a frustrating problem. I've had it happen before..
Just tried a compile myself, and CM10 doesn't work. Silly me for thinking that everything would go smoothly. It could be some changes reflected recently on CM's end. The joys of development!
However, I just tried an AOKP 4.2 build, and it does boot. So I'm going to make some quick changes to the guide to reflect building for AOKP while I examine the code and see what's up.
There's nothing more frustrating when a build completes successfully and then won't flash. I'll keep everyone posted.

this looks amazing
thank you for spending the time to write this up!
May be up for a reinstallation of my Ubuntu (currently 12.04 x86 :/).

Wonderful, might try to adapt for the galaxy note 3.
