Ok... I'll bite. Ringdroid from the market. Any other answer will take some info.

As in, the ringroid will put the ringtones in the sd card memory not the phone memory, i tried copy paste over but fail.

To place them into the phone memory you will need to either copy them using the terminal or push them through adb.
using adb, place the file(s) in your tools folder
Code:
adb push filename.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones
In the terminal, if you place them in the root of your sdcard
Code:
cp /sdcard/filename.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones
I am not sure if you need to remount or not to push/copy into the folder or not.

It says read-only file system as the error.

Try:
Code:
adb remount
That should fix the "read only" problem.

i'm not using adb... I'm using the second method which is in the terminal.

Do yourself a favor and go get Root Explorer from the market. It lets you move any file to anywhere.
Move your files to /system/media/audio/ringtones and remember to check to see if the files that are there are .ogg or .mp3. If they are .ogg just rename your files after you move them.

What you mean I have to rename the files after i move them?

What's the exact application name? I tried searching on market but could not find any.

I like SUFBS but ES (or estrong) file explorer is good also. SUFBS cost a buck or 2 but I think it is worth it. Either way your phone needs to be rooted for this. You do have root right?

Yeah, phone is rooted. I tried ES Strong Explorer but cannot work, it says something about permission or something like that..

I'm not sure if it's a "hero thing" but sometimes the file extensions in the ringtones folder are not .mp3. They are .ogg. If you look into the folder and see .ogg files just change the extension and you'll be all good.
As for the apps. Look for "Root Explorer". I believe there are both free and paid options. The paid one isn't very much $$ so, considering how much easier it makes things, give up the loot and support a dev.

I tried searching under market, but cant find it..

id use terminal with cmds, would be a tad faster and a bit more reliable, in my opinion, but as of searching on your behalf i have found root explorer a paid version and estrongs free version by searching "root" while in the market. estrongs sounds unstable. If your going to pay for a good file explorer get SU file manager&terminal. (and...SAA?ror)

How do I use terminals? I tried but that say permission thingy..

Did you mount the system?

OK dude. If you're rooted I assume you have somebody's recovery. Boot to recovery and go into console (Alt+x). Now do this.
<enter>
mount /system <enter> (maybe mount /system/media if just /system doesn't work)
mount /sdcard <enter>
cp /sdcard/yourfolder/yourringtone.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones <enter>
reboot
You should be good to go.

Can I do that in terminal? As in one of the application in my HTC Dream?

LG thrill 4g one click cwr

hello i have tried to use one click and when i do it said that cannot stat recovery.img no such file or directory if you could help let me
thanks to colbur87

Its in the zip, but make sure you launch 1click_cwr in the same folder as recovery.img
Dont copy it out or anything like that. The program looks for recovery.img to be in the same folder as 1click_cwr.

ok thanks but i am still having a few problem when adb push recovery.img /data it said failed to copy recovery,img to /data/recovery.img permission denied
i have tried keeping it in a zip and extracting it all to the same folder only when i extract it is when i can run as admin and my phone is rooted so that not the problem

You can't run an executable in a zip file. It must be extracted first. Even if you just click it from within the zip file, it is still extracted to a temporary location......
All you need to do is:
Extract the entire folder somewhere on your computer (right click extract(depending on your os/installed zip program, the menu may be different. Just extract it!))
Run 1click_cwr as admin (right click on the icon and click run as administrator)
That it your done......
Make sure USB Debugging mode is ON.

i did extract it all to the same folder and right click as
admin and it said in the cmd
adb push recovery.img /data it said failed to copy recovery,img to /data/recovery.img permission denied
any help would be greatly appreciated
anything i can do in my super user to allow access
any chance i could run this program in Linux
by the way my debugging is on

Well, there are two error I see there....first: can't push file to phone because premission denied.
2nd: Can't change premissions on the file because its not found (because of 1st error).
I would suggest googling 'permission denied adb push' I found a lot of people with your same problem...I can only speak to my application which worked for me and a lot of other people.

Have you tried setting permissions for the /data folder? Use root explorer and long press /data folder and check all nine boxes.

thanks that did it

after using one click and i do a factory reset would that brick my thrill

hello.... I just recently bought a Thrill from a person off craigslist. It came rooted and I hadnt known. Is there anything I should be worried about? like if he installed anything that could be tracking the phone or anything? Also, how can I tell what method he used to root it. Basically, how do i figure out how to unroot it and erase everything so i can have the expirence of actually doing everything myself so i understand it.

just use super one click root to unroot the device but you have down load the right one click

[Q] Corrupted nv_data.bin

I corrupted my nv_data...
Flashing efsbackup didnt help...
A friend friend from the same country as me uploaded his nvdata, but i dont know how to apply it, ADB says device not found, debugging is on, and im using Win 7 x64 SP1.

If you have a complete backup of your /efs folder, a good way to restore it is: With root explorer, go into backuped /efs and multiselect and copy every file. Go to actual /efs folder and paste files in. Reboot, and things should be good now.

try long clicking the file, select permisions, make a note of whats ticked, then select them all, press ok, make sure the root "/" is mounted as R/W and try again. If sucessful change the permisions back to what they were... Hope that helps

[Q] [AOKP] Cannot access root files to install boot animation

So, I've rooted my captivate and have installed build 32 of aokp.
I'm trying to install a custom boot animation. However i cannot access /system/media from my computer and when i try to copy and paste the .zip from the sdcard, file manager won't let me. /data/local does not exist.
I should mention i'm running blue infinium.
Any help? I'm pretty sure i'm being stupid but i've tried everything i can think of and read a bunch of threads.
Thanks in advance,
JSP

Unless I'm mistaken, you actually want to put your boot animation in /system/media.
And if you have ADB installed, you can just reboot to recovery, hook up the USB cable, put your bootanimation.zip into the /platform-tools folder where ADB resides, and issue this command:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
If you don't have ADB, you'll need to get a root-level file manager (ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, etc) to move the file.

I'm assuming ADB is an app, and the code i'm supposed to enter is entered on the phone through a terminal program?
Otherwise thanks, makes sense. Anyway to access /system files through windows explorer?
Thanks again
*EDIT* Also, thats what i've been trying to do with the file manager. But when the file is selected/cut/copied, i cannot access the root files. I have tried several different root file systems.

ADB is on the computer, you run it in terminal or command prompt. There isn't a way to access /system through windows explorer

Alright, thank you. Also, does terminal=cmd? I understand terminal can be on the phone, but i always thought, on windows anyway, that terminal is synonymous with command prompt.
Thank you all for the help

ADB is Android Debug Bridge - it's part of the Android SDK that you have to download and install from Google. It's a pretty handy tool to have.
As korockinout13 pointed out, no dice with the Windows Explorer seeing the root files, and terminal does equal cmd/command prompt.
With the explorer app on your phone, you'll have to look around and find a setting that will tell Android to mount your /system folder as read-write. I believe in Root Explorer there's a button near the top that switches read-only and read-write.

Looked around on explorer and couldn't find the setting. Root explorer costs 4$ and I've tried a couple others. All giving me the read only memory error. I'll just have to wait till I get home to do it over adb. Thanks for all the help.

root access wont let you "see" your root folders when you mount your phone as SD card.
adb is one of many options.
copy to sdcard, then use a root level manager to move
wait!! there was this on the portal today.... Quick ADB Pusher.. adb file pusher GUI
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/push-files-to-your-device-with-quick-adb-pusher/

Got it to work with Ghost Commander. There's an option to remount files as ro/rw.
Works great. Thanks for your help!

That bootanimation is screwed up - it's not zip, files are stored. It took me a while to figure it out.

The CWM backup is located in '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/' (from root) and is not visible from the pc.
Using ES file explorer or root explorer copy the folder in the '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/' directory to '/data/media/0/' and then you'll be able to see it from your pc and copy across....... remember to delete the copy from '/data/media/0/' afterwards

Unfortunately, i do not have such directory path like you specified.
I installed Clockwork Rom Manager and it tells me the backup is in inaccesible area, path: Device: mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup
But the mnt/shell folder is empty and I cant find clockword folder. Any solution to this ?

No it can't be empty.... check your file explorer is root enabled, if you're using ES then settings>tools>root explorer
