Make SD card partitions writable?

Hey all,
I'm trying to make my SD card partitions writable within Ubuntu so I can get all the wallpapers and ringtones I want on one build. What's the easiest way to do that?

Ringtones appear twice--help??

i just installed a rom on my phone, and my ringtones are being listed twice when im browsing ringtones in the sounds&display setting...i tried rebooting but it still shows up twice..is there anyway of fixing this?

Is it possible that you have them in more than one folder? Like /ringtones and /notifications? That would definitely cause it...

Ok i had the same problem. but i had duplacate rintones that came with the phone not the ones i added
look in folder on the sd card /media/ringtone.
once in that folder look and see if there are stock ringtones in that folder if so delete them because the stock ringtones should be in the root of the phone not the sd card
pm me if you need any more help

What to keep after rom upgrade?

Hi everyone.
I have a Google G1 and have recently upgraded to Cyanogen 6.0.0.
After the upgrade there are a lot of files left on the SD card and I would like to know which I need to keep and which I can get rid of?
The files are;
Android folder which contains another folder called data, which contains the following files; com.coolaris.media and com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget.news-content-cache
other folders are;
Clockworkmod
.android_secure
and in the download folder there are lots of .apk files all are downloadfile.apk from 1 to 14.
Do I need to keep any of these files on my sd card or can they be deleted after the installation?
Thank you for any help.

I would just keep all of that on your SD card, since it doesn't take up that much space to begin with.
However, I had a bunch of those downloadfile.apk's in my download folder, I deleted all of them, and everything was okay. You can probably delete all of those and not have a problem.

Thank you very much for the help mattdrumz, very kind.

Root explorer question

I just bought my droid bionic the other day, and rooted it about 5 minutes after that. My question is, I've been using root explorer and renaming the useless APKs with the .bak extension. Can i just move those applications to my sd card, and then if i need to restore to stock, move them back? Do root explorer and applications work that way?
Thanks!

Certainly, copy the useless system apps to your sdcard, delete them, and when the time comes that you want them back, simply go to your SD card and copy them back to the system app directory.

Exactly, this is what you're doing when you read someone refer to "pushing" .apks to your system/app folder. I always thought it was a lot more complicated

Flashed from 4.1.2 rom to 4.2.2 rom but it didnt wipe my internal sd card. Need help

Issue Fixed Please Delete Mods.

4.2.2 sd card is stored on directory /0
you need to delete duplicated files or anything else you don't need from directory /0.
If you go there you are going to see your 4.2.2 files that you need to move or delete.
Good luck
