Can anyone tell me if and how i can get all of the ringtones from the various nexus one roms?
I have used a few different roms on my nexus and in each rom I hear a ringtone that i really like so I want to get all of those ringtones into my current rom (Enom 1.8.1).
So can anyone help me get these ringtones.
Thanks
This should be in the Q&A section.
MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A
What ringtones, you can push them to /system/media/audio/ringtones
So if i have the roms how do I extract the ringtones from the roms while they are on my laptop. Then I want to place the extracted ringtones on to my phone via usb.
So how do I do this? Is there a guide, a video tutorial, something?
Thanks in advance for the help.
This has been discussed before. Search for guides on how to setup adb, mount the /system/ partition, and push the files to the location above.
You can extract the 'rom' zip file and look in the directory above to get the ringtones.
You can also just copy them to your sdcard and move them over from terminal or file manager.

So I guess my question is, "Can anyone help me?"
I used custom ringtones, and I don't like using them from the SD card, it creates lag, takes longer to load the ringtone, etc, so I keep them on my /system/media folder. Normally to accomplish this, when I install a new ROM update, I edit it and resign it, with my media folder, rather than the ROM's.
My predicament however, is that I don't know how to change the file structure for the update, I know there are files in the update that say, this and this folder exist, where this goes, etc. This is what I don't know how to do.
All I need the update to do is contain the media (/system/media) folder, so I can just add all my ringtones and notifications to this update, and flash it after I flash whatever update/rom, etc, instead of always having to be at my computer to create a custom version of every rom I use.
Could anyone please care to help? I'd be ever grateful.
You can use the attached file.
Just edit the files in the ROM
zip it
put the zipped ROM in the same folder as the attached files
run sign.bat
FLASH

is this just to be used for signing? i already know how to sign files. i need someone to edit w/e files are inside the rom that tell its structure (this folder exists, and gets flashed here, this folder goes here, etc). i cant just take a cm rom and delete everything i dont need then flash it. it will get errors in recovery.
Make a folder called media in the root of your update, and create the proper descending folders in media (i.e. audio/ringtones, etc). Place your notifications/ringtones/alarms etc in the proper folders. (I am sure you understand this already)
Open your update-script file for the update and add the line
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:media SYSTEM:media
That should do it.
Note that if in the update-script you already have an entire system folder being copied over via
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
then you need only add the folder media to the folder /system in the update.

Thanks man, but my buddy actually just helped me out with this, but yeah thats exactly what I needed to know. Thanks a ton mate
I started a thread on SDX right after the Epic came out with the manual way to get your beloved ringtones back and then some and promised to make it a flashable zip... naturally I feel the need to share this with both communities, so here you go!
Updated with FroYo Sounds:

Did you forget to type something?
I'm now able to post links, YAY!, so I have fixed the first post so that you don't have to copy/paste/edit to get to download!
Thank you much
Ever since I installed this, ring tone selection crashes android system and I have to reboot. Usually happens after 2nd or 3rd selection. Amy ideas why/how to fix? Haven't checked logs yet
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks - Gremlyn1, I've included this collection in SyndicateROM "Fully Loaded".

No idea why at all, unless for some reason the files didn't copy over... have you tried flashing again? The script doesn't do anything except remove the old sound files and add the new ones.
Updated this with new FroYo sounds (some Samsung ui sounds). The .zip is not yet CWM3 compatible, that will come soon. If you have changed the TW_Battery_caution.ogg to TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak or removed it, etc., then you just need to remove that file. This zip includes a TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak already, as it got included when I pulled the sounds from my phone.
I took the liberty of updating this package.
Changes:
CWM Script now properly erases all sound files in /system/media/audio prior to copying.
Deleted Ding.ogg and Noisy_One.ogg from Ringtones as they are identical to Noises1.ogg.
Edited title tag of Noises1.ogg from Noisey One to Noisy One.

any chance of converting it from amend --> edify?
for those of you who use CWM3 and want this on your phone.
Extract contents of zip to C:\
Open CMD prompt
Browse to ADB folder
adb push C:\epic-nexus-moment_sounds_froyo_signed\system /sdcard/system
adb shell
#su
#remount rw
#cp -r /sdcard/system/media /system
edit: I flashed your zip on my epic (went back to old CWM and RFS) and it removed the system sound when you click icons and the dialpad sound

Dialpad and clicking sounds still work here. Make sure your system volume is not set to 0.
This would be awesome if it was made Edify Scrpitagible.. yes.. scriptigible. I just dropped it via root explorer into the /system/ folder
I'm a newbie to flashing with the Epic.... already bricked my wife's phone once. =)
I upgraded to EH17 using Odin and apparently that messed up all her ringtones and notification sounds. I wanted to know if there was a way I could flash this file using CWM 3.1.0.1. I get an error msg saying that amend scripting is not supported.

Take the files out with 7 zip and open a zip file (from a theme!! don't use the srf zip or any other "rom" zips they wipe data) you know works on cwm3. Make a backup and delete all the folders inside besides META-INF then take your old zip and copy the files over to the new zip, of course without the META-INF. Just to clarify you want the new zips META-INF folder only!
Cd's or tapes?
Noob here ....I' am unable to find a zip file which is not a rom file...i wanted to follow the above mentioned procedure of modifying the zip file for using it on CWM3x. Can you tell me which is teh appropriate zip file which i can use for modification so that i can restore the default ringtones of EPIC 4G.
I flashed the legendary rom and saw that many ringtones have been taken off...i want to have stock ringtones back on my system
Grab a flashable theme zip and use that.....
Just make sure inside that zip once you delete out the "theme" contents you leave the META-INF file/folder...
Then make a folder of you own in called
/system
Then inside /system make one called
/media
then inside /system/media/ make one called
/audio
Then place the appropriate folders containing either
/alarms
/notifications
/ringtones
/ui
inside that /audio directory....
Close it up and flash it...
If that is too much for you to follow... Just use this zip I'm providing below..
Blank Flashable
Just open it with WinRaR or WinZip and you will see all the folders in place exactly as I described... Place your contents in the appropriate folders and flash..
followed exactly as mentioned above, downloaded the zip file, opened it and copied the tones as suggested and flashed my phone....the tones did not turn up in the list but i ended up loosing facebook, gmail and couple of other apps !....what could have gone wrong ?

Not sure... There is nothing there in that "Blank Flashable" except for the META-INF file with your standard install scripts and then I created the folders & path to the media/audio/
Not to sure what you could have done to cause FB, GMail and others to be lost as a result of that zip file...
BTW, you did make a Nandroid Backup before flashing as normal rule of thumb correct?
FYI, any other devs, etc... willing to verify the zip I posted has nothing to do with erasing/removing those apps described by the member please feel free to do so...
I have 2.3.3 running well, or at least pretty well, but I want to add some of my MP3 tones to the phone. The ringtones are is the root/system/media/audio path and I was wondering if there is a post explaining how to add to the notification and ringtone folders. I am from WinMo and this is my first android. I loved flashing my Tilt and found droid to be easier to work with.
Any help or direction would be appreciated. I have searched but didn't find a How To.
Thanks
I just use a ringtone maker app from the market. Not sure if your looking for something more than this, but there's a bunch of em. They work with all the music on my phone
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
I already have the tones download to my sd card and I can move them around EXCEPT for putting them in the system subfolder in the root directory. When I copy and paste my existing mp3 tones, they fail when pasting to the Notification folder in the System folder.
/system/media/audio and all of the sub directories (notifications, ringtones, alarms on the phone are mounted as read only. If you want to copy your own tones into those folders you need a file manager app that has root access like root explorer, or es explorer.
Using Root explorer, navigate to the /system/media directory and toggle the file permissions from r/o (read only) to r/w (read write). from there you can use root explorer to copy/move your custom tones to the folders.
another way to include custom notification/ringtones is to make a folder in the phones internal SD called /media/audio/notification /media/audio/ringtones /media/audio/alarms and put your tones there. This method does not require root access.
Update:
- Most of Android ringtones, notification & ui sounds and alarms - Post#7
- Adb commands in the third post.
- Initially you had to download each file individually within a folder, a slight oversight on my part. I compressed the folders so that an entire folder could be downloaded, saving on clicks. If anyone knows of a better way, please let me know.
One of the few things I miss from non sense Roms are the ringtones and notifications. I extracted both CM10 and Sense 4.0 Ringtones and Notifications from Jellytime and Virtuous Infinity (If I needed permission to do so, I do apologize and do feel free to contact me to make the necessary corrections).
I've uploaded it to DropBox since I don't expect too many downloads. If it does happen, let me know and I'll upload them to some file sharing site or another.
You will find a CM10 and Sense 4.0 Ringtones and Notifications folders merged in each respective folder. I went through each one keeping only the ones I liked.
Then you will also find the original CM10 and Sense 4.0 Ringtones and Notifications untouched.
There are also AospX Ringontes and Notifications which were not merged nor have I gone through them. I believe there are a few minor differences.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1wc63bxuaea82cy/-UlxSLNbQY
To add the files in the rom (if there is a better way to do this let me know):
- Download rom to Computer.
- Open the zip file.
- Go to system - media - audio.
You'll find the respective folders in there, just replace, modify, add, delete or whatever gets you up in the mornings. Then flash the rom.
In case I ever learn to make a flash-able zip.
Edit: I looked through a few tutorials to make a flashable zip. It seems doable.
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/media/audio/ringtones
adb shell mkdir /system/media/audio/ringtones
adb shell rm -r /system/media/audio/notifications
adb shell mkdir /system/media/audio/notifications
adb push C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\ringtones /system/media/audio/ringtones
adb push C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\notifications /system/media/audio/notifications
adb reboot
rm - r is to delete the folder
mkdir is to create a folder
The location of the files and folders will depend on your device and pc. However, on the the cell phone they are pretty much located in the same place.
You can either do it the way I described above, or try pushing the files directly without creating nor deleting any folders.
Thanks to Glevitan for his guidance.

There are instructions on how to make a flashable zip in my signature. Go to the second post and you'll be able to find a link,
Is there anyway I can flash the default ringtones of ICS I'm on a ROM and for whatever reason theres nothing there...
You don't need to flash anything if you are rooted. All the ringtones and notifications are in /system/media/audio/ringtones and /system.../notifications. If you are rooted, just copy whatever *.ogg files you want into the appropriate folders.
