I just recently got myself a G1 and really happy with it.
I rooted and installed Cyanogen 6 RC3 which appears to be working good - had it running for a few days now.
Personally i dont like the default ringtones and would like to use my own MP3 ringtones.
Secondly, i would like to change the font, have seen screenshots from other users who have done this.
Question is how do you add ringtones and change the fonts?
Thanks for the help.
I would suggest that you update to Cyanogen 6 stable.
For ring tones the easiest way is to just and them on your sd card.
Make a folder called media\audio\ringtones, media\audio\alarms, media\audio\notifications.
Just put your ring tones etc. in the appropriate folders.
As for the font I don't know.
Thanks for your help on the ringtones.
Dont suppose you know easiest method to put music onto the sd card as well?
add a folder called music or what ever....
Can't remember if a reboot will re-scan or if it is in the music app to rescan.
I think a reboot will scan and find it automagically.
For Fonts Check here.... Font Changer

hey guys.
Just a simple request to those who you have the time to do so.
I recently installed Gtrab's W4X WM6.5 Cooked Rom but didn't realise it had a lot of the ringtones included with the xperia missing.
I've searched the forums and found the odd file containing ringtones taken from handsets but they are different tones.
Could you please copy and zip all the ringtones from the Windows folder from a default Xperia rom and upload it to the internet for me please
Cheers,
Hyped
I need them too. can somebody please post them?
Thank you
Press me softly....
Thank you for your help, however, unfortunately, these are not the ringtones I need.
I'm not sure where they're saved but there are some ringtones called like Alarm1, Alarm2, Alarm3 and such. And it's in this location I need the ringtones. I think they are scattered throughout the Windows folder admist the system files.
So, could you possible collect and zip these please

Extract the rar file on your computer, connect device via active sync, once syncing click "explore" and your my documents folder should be visible, move the extracted mp3 ringtones to this folder. Hope that helps
Thx

I flashed energy rom so i don't have the stock ones at hand
There is a thread or two around here somewhere with a link to all the OEM ringtones / sounds etc. I'm not sure what it was titled though.
It was a rar file and nearly 38mB in size.
:edit Found it. I used the top secret 'Search' button. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526164
thx guys
Btw. the rington was Meadow
Beat me to it Steve_TLS
sweet. thx for the help here. not that ringtones are hard to come by but there was a ringtone i really liked to use and now im used to itl lol. when there is a different tone ringing i dont always notice its MY phone hahah.
So i need some help. I have been trying to set a ringtone as a text notification but no luck! :[ I had no problem with this until after i deleted all that at&t junk. I've tried copy & paste into windows file and ringtone file. Someone anyone HELP ME! THANKS!
more info required
you would need to say what rom you are using?, what format the tones you are using are in ?, what exactly are you trying to put in the windows folder?
have you tried any other apps to achieve this.. which app were you using to do it before? what did you remove?
i use ringo (comercial software) but there are freeware options out there with a bit of searching... i seem to remember seeing a mortscript that was set up to do this somewhere on xda. which users seemed to report worked quite well.

I use the stock rom. I haven't upgraded to any other rom. I am trying to put a song into the windows file so i can change the text notification to the song of my choice. I have not tried any other apps only because i know of none. lol. I'm not sure what app i was using if any. But all i remember is i had absolutely no trouble with this until i deleted the at&t junk on the tilt. By the way i appreciate your help. My apologies for not responding sooner.
Oh, i forgot to mention the formats: mp3 and wmv. The ringtone that i want is set to mp3. It was mp3 the first time it worked and it still is mp3 and now it doesn't work.

All mp3's need to be associated with Media Player or else they will not play as ringtones. Perhaps you have installed another music player which has changed the file associations. You need to change it back to WM Player. Let us know if this is your problem.
Hasta luego,
MAC
Is the ringtone over 500KB? When I still used AT&T stock ROMs, I learned that files over 500KB would not work as ringtones unless I installed this fix. Hope that helps,
Dave
(And I assume you're putting the potential ringtones in \My Documents\Ringtones)

Unfortunately, all other notifications need to be wav files.

Well thanks. So what about the weather problem and the settings sounds tab in manilla 2d? Why wont it allow me to add a location? And why wont it allow me to go to the sounds tab in settings when using the manilla touchflo thingy? lol
Rooted my G1 Loaded different roms over past few days. Also have tried a few themes, in doing all this at some point I lost my ringtones. My current rom is cm 3.6.7.2 . with 1 ringtone called dream theme or something like that. Do I just go to market and down load some new tones or is there a way to get the 1.5 ringtones back?

Wait, so the stock ringtones were actually used by someone? I figured everyone just downloaded Ringdroid app and made there own ringtones with music that was on the SD card.
I hear what your saying but the stock ones are nice for work ...more professional
Couldn't tell you how to recover them maybe a dev will be able to pull some stock tones and zip it in a file for you or something..

Read the op........ DL the audio resources and put them on your SD card (cyans thread)
Thanks B-manoo7
That couldn't have been any easier. Should have looked there, leave it to cyan to be so on top of things.... even the smallest of details

Lol, yes its nice to look at the obvious places first eh? Anyways, now that you've solved your problem do you mind adding [SOLVED] to the title of your thread so people who have the same problem can find the solution easier? Thanks.
Like the title says. I put them in a couple places already. But still can't get them to work. Last i tryed I put them in, ADWLauncher>res>mdpi
Thanks
would also be interested in this... i like the wallpaper gallery for choosing the ... choices.
I suppose if i knew what folder contained them I could just move them?
well to get ringtones on the phone you put them in media/audio/ringtones. So the wallpaper gallery might go into /media/pictures/wallpaper(s) or /media/wallpaper(s). That would be my guess
that would be great, if those folders existed, but they dont.
I know there must be some place the WPs that came with this ROM are stored, not on the SD card... the wallpaper gallery is accessing something... somewhere...
but i'll be ****ed if I can find it.
probably total obvious n00b mistake, i'm sure, but I am stumped.
I had to make the media folder for the ringtones. Search how to put custom ringtones on android. My guess is the wallpaper gallery would be done in the same fashion
Sorry to tell you guys you are wrong. I know for a fact it has to be in the Launcher.apk (or what ever launcher you are useing.
If you put it in there and rename the image to one of the other images in there it will work. kinda a work around.
Is there a patch or is there a way to repair it ? Tried with converting mp3 to .ogg ect ect... It just doesn't work. The ROM is awesome but this is annoying as hell.
Tried to use the rings extended and other apps but still nothing.
Please advice and cheers.

Same question yesterday, no answers till now.
I'm using my own ringtone on Tiramislim v2. I could choose it in the ringtone list in the sound settings.
What you can try is copy the file to: [\sdcard\media\audio\ringtones (or Notifications for SMS/Alarm/etc.) and see if it's in the list in the sound settings.
I also set a ringtone from poweramp with no problem.
Hope the above will work for you!
STILL NOTHING this is b*shi*
I managed to get a ringtone for any call, but not for my friends and family :/ I have a custom ringtone for my default call. But still I can't assign a different ringer to a different person... WTF?! On my last ROM - no problem. Different person - different ringer... This is bugging me... It's a small detail but men is it annoying...
