So, I finally updated from last month's version, to 1.11.25.
Everything is going smooth. Got everything backed up, etc.
Got the weather widget working in the newest lockscreens that people made. : D
The only thing I have a problem with now is the system files/folders.
As you all know, when you have the lockscreen sounds enabled, the unlock isn't bad, but the lock sound is atrocious. So before these updates, I used my own .ogg files and copy and pasted them from my SDcard, to System/media/audio/ui and overwrote the default ones. That way, there was no sound when I locked. All this using Root Explorer.
Now that I updated, I tried that and it says:
"You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only."
wat? Anyone have any suggestions. Thank you. ;(

If you're using root explorer there's an option in the right corner at the top to switch off read only so you can paste, delete, edit, etc files.
if the skies the limit, where's the urgency?

lolz. I thought it was like this major system problem that had to be changed by reflashing a ROM or something. B|
Thank you. Got it to work.

Ok so I have been tinkering around for the past few trying to get the Fender Music app on my dream. Well I did it but the app sucks cause it's not FOR my device. And being that I don't know how to make it work right, I decided to go back with the stock app.
Enough rambling, you want the goods...
Backup before doing this cause I take no responsibility.
remove the .zip from the name.
Wouldn't hurt to resign it either...
Put the file in your theme's .zip. In the app folder within the .zip of course.
I don't know how to take screen shots but I will tell you to try it and you will like it. This works on my dream flawlessly. I hope the same for you...
This wasn't really that hard to do. Mostly because I don't know how to modify/make .9's nor these .xml's for that matter. But most of the visuals are what I have modified anyway so I don't see the need...
The one thing I have a problem with is the lack of album art. As soon as I figure that out, things will be nice!
This will be on my theme as soon as I get it out. I have grown to understand how long this takes for you themeer's out there. I thank you all for everything you do. But I would like to thank Binary for helping me understand the basics of things around here!!!
Which brings to my attention, this is based on CM 4.2.13......
screenshot.apk from market...
Thanks much. I was waiting for that actually though.
But that's what I will use when I have everything finished.
Knowing this environment though, I'll never finish...

You can take screenshots even easier with ddms.bat
In revision 4 just go to Device and Screen Capture (or whatever).
Simple.
Ok. Thank you. But I'm still going to wait until I finish my theme before I take screen shots. Until then, you'll just have to dl it to find out what it looks like...
Nice to see you getting so into this. If you want help with .9.pngs, Jairomeo taught me a nice trick that makes it very easy (assuming eclipse is set up).
Eclipse is set up I just don't know how to use it other than to start up a virtual android...
Gonna try it out now. I want to know what it looks like
/edit: here is the signed .apk (Or was it already signed?)
(push to system/app)
ok noob question lol... i downloaded the file but when i try to copy it to system/app folder it says file is read only.. something i missed?

yea. what he said.
This is outdated. I haven't had the time to work on it lately and I apologize for that. My theme hasn't seen any love for a few days either.
But it works and looks better than stock.
Here's how I install it.
Put music.apk in root sdcard folder. Use a file manager like Astro or And Explorer to navigate to it. Click it and install with package installer.
Enjoy!
Hello, I would like to move my ringtones to the internal memory because I've noticed that since I started using Swap, It delays the ringtone from starting. This is what I observed, Randomly the ringtone starts after 2 or 3 vibrates, other times its not at all and uses the stock beeping ringtone (I guess since the SD is being used, it cant go in it and get the ringtone) So bottom line, My ringtones take a few seconds to ring after a few vibrates. I already know that I have to convert them to .ogg, but does anyone know another way to make the system pull up the ringtone faster?
I would like to know that myself. Im sick of having my default ringtone going when i selected a custom one for one of my contacts. whats the best settings for the ogg files too as this may be helpful to us both

Alright... So you wanna do this, here is what you will need:
*ADB Installed and working
*Root Manager of some sort
*Format Factory -This is freeware, so it's not warez.
1st, Download and install Format Factory. This is the program I use for everything. If you have one of your own preference, it can be substituded.
**Do a custom install, as this will try to install adbars otherwise. (You have been warned.)
2nd, Open Format Factory and click "All to OGG".
3rd, Select your ringtones and click "ok". On the next screen, click "Start"
4th, Open your Root Explorer program, I use Android Commander
5th, With your Root Explorer program, navigate to your newly created OGG files (normally found in Documents/FFOutput on your PC) in the Root Explorer.
6th, Move these files to /system/media/*** on your phone. And you are done.
Please note: ""***" represents the respective folders. i.e. "ringtones", "notifications", etc.
Hope this helped you. Click "thanks" if it did. - Any questions, ask.
EDIT: DO NOT change the OGG settings in Format Factory. They work fine at default. Once you get used to, and comfortable with doing this, then play with the settings to get your desired file size and quality.
I tried doing what you said, but although I successfully managed to push the files, they still don't appear in the ringtone/notifications menu

did you make sure the phone looked for new media, or restart ya phone? i had to do it with mine
I was going to say that I had checked the phone after restart and they still weren't showing up - but I double checked again and now they are. Thanks! I'm not sure how to check for new media, though - is there a procedure for this?
Been trying this using ES File Explorer but keeping getting a message that paste failed. Any ideas where i'm going wrong.
I have S-Off and root
you can try this, it a little easier if you have the tools but yoo have to reflash the rom so be sure to backup your apps, contacts blah blah blah...
1. unzip the 'rom.zip' file, open the folder and look for the system/media/audio folder
2. now you can add & remove ringtones, notifications, alarm sounds that you want or dont want...
3. zip the rom file back up
4. sign it with an auto sign program... (very simple to use)
5. flash rom and enjoy your customizations
6. restore your backed up contacts and apps...
(you can also remove some unwanted stock apps to save space, be sure not too remove system required apps though lol)
Cheers Idrifta, ended up getting it to work using Root Explorer.
o nice!!! haha good to know... better than my method lol
The following worked for me.. Check this
I followed a link and it worked for me on jfltetmo running on cm11-m9 and having twrp v2.8.4.0. I explained the steps in my answer here: How to install a ringtone into internal memory?. All the credit for the steps go to villo-2.
Hey XDA, been away for a while and just finished my first semester of college. Checked up on my old thread to find alot of positive things. A while back I wanted to do more with this and never got around to it, but figured it was about time I did...
The new animation starts somewhat similarly to the old one with added transition between the HTC logo and the vortex. Also after the vortex, instead of a static image at the end I've thrown together a completely new piece that will loop until the phone finally decides to start.
This version also uses JPGs rather than PNGs. I just found out JPGs could be used the other day... After optimizing the PNGs, (something that wasn't considered for the old one) this new one comes out to a total of 234MB... (one of those things that happen when you only use AfterFX for the project...) If anyone would like this anyway... Let me know and I'll put it up somewhere.
I also made a basic splash screen, something that was misadvertised with the old version. It is the first image in the attachments and can be installed thru bootloader. (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?37e8as4f4m68cwu)
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?w1ci9p2ugk7271d
If you would like the stock sound to use with this download it from the attachments below, extract the mp3 and add it to /system/media.
GIFs were 4-5MB each so heres a video instead...
Old version has been moved to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20568970 if anyone wants to check it out.
Thanks for the link, and if you get a chance to try it out let me know how you like it
This is [email protected]$$! Way better then the stock bootanimation
Great work!

How to I install this? HBoot or Recovery? I know sometimes you need to rename it to the PG0059 thing (I know it's not right) and I'm just curious before I go screwing anything up

I personally used clockwork recovery and did install sdcard/update.zip
Place the update.zip from the download onto the root of the sd card, then in ROM manager, reboot into recovery and install the update.
There are alternatives to this such as just putting the bootanimation.zip into the right folder using root explorer, but I ran into permission problems so I did it this way.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Is this new boot animation really 24MB? Like, I yanked it out of the update .zip because I normally move them with Root Explorer. I find easier, and I have a system to doing this where I save the old ones in the folder and just rename them. Allowing me to swap them out at will by simply altering the name of the bootanimation . zip back to that.
-Edit- NVM. I see why it's 24MB now.
Holy effing sh!t cakes! That's a lot of graphical content to run through there in the beginning. Looks awesome though!
Again, just to anyone reading this that hasn't tried this boot animation yet.
THIS BOOT ANIMATION IS AWESOME!

Glad you like it. I would have done the same using root explorer, but I ran into read only and permission problems for anything i tried to use it with. And I really tryed to lower the size the best I could... It was originally 165mb, then found out it was rendering w/o compression (lossless), changed render settings managed to get to 95mb... to get it to 24mb I lowered the quality a little more and it skips every other frame. After uploading it I attempted to make it smaller but all i can do is lower the quality even more, and at 17mb it looked pretty bad.
PS- could someone link me to the stock FinalThunder.mp3 I haven't had it since I flashed my ROM

No I wasn't *****ing about the size. I was checking to make sure I didn't bork something up extracting it. I was just verifying as most of them are 2-6MB.
Here's the Final Thunder .mp3
I ripped it right from the system folder with RE so it should be good. Make sure you check the permissions though. As they may need to be altered to get it to jive with the way it gets read. It should be;
X-X-[0]
X-[0]-[0]
X-[0]-[0]
I think.
X meaning checked.
I had to rar it to post it.
Edit: Yes, that's the way the permissions need to be above, but when it gets extracted it changes them to;
[0]-[0]-[0]
X-X-X
X-[0]-X
So if you just drop it in there it probably WON'T WORK. Make sure you change the permissions!
Again, thanks for the awesome boot animation!
Thanks, I just now noticed the mount r/w button at the top of root explorer >.>
I also did all of this before I saw the post edit, so I did just throw it in there, but it still worked =o
Now I can see the bootscreen everyones been thanking me for lol... Thanks again for the sound clip =)

Hardly a fair trade for the kick ass boot animation. But no problem.
Yeah, many moons ago RE owned me until I found that little mount r/w button. After finding it however it's been an extremely useful tool.
I'm surprised the MP3 worked for you actually w/o changing permissions. :shrugs: I'm leaving the warning there in case someone else downloads it for the same purpose and it doesn't.
Which file or folder do i drop this into to make sound work. I am on gingeritis and had to delete the VZW_bootanimation and there is no sound once i swapped that boot animation out with this one?

It's either system/media
or
system/customize/resource
But I think it's system/media
Find the bootanimation .zip and that's where the sound file should go.
I tried putting it system/customize/resource and that didnt do anything so i will try system media I guess just put in the main file or any one of the sbu files I have
audio
GPU
weather
folders in there will try a few i guess?

If anyone wants to try this, it is a zip of the vortex boot animation hopefully with the sound. It is for anyone running a rom that has a boot animation in the system/customize/resource folder and the boot animation is labeled VZW_bootanimation.
Let me know how it goes please
My apologies if the OP does not want this and will take down if asked
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9663029/VortexBootAnimation.zip
I got the animation to work, but no thunder. Tried everything! I think it may be my current set up (gingeritits and imosyons 2.5.4.test.4 kernel) since day one, there's been no sound. It came with the old school PC looking bootanimation and I read somewhere that, that boot ani is supposed to sound like a disc drive spooling up with clicks n what not, but it never did. I remember on the virus Rom I had, it DID have sound and the .mp3 was called VRsound.mp3. I made my own, fixed permissions, renamed it to VRsound.mp3 and replaced it. That worked. I could be wrong, but because this ROM didn't come with sound in the first place, I just can't get it.... Oh well. Still a tight boot! sound or not!
4Geezy ON DopeDiculous's ROOTED TBeezy!
Here's the deal....I went to system\media\audio\ringtones and deleted every stock ringtone....sense im running safestrap I also deleted from\preinstall.....rebooted but they are still in the ringtone list and still work....I don't understand how that's possible.... so I used mp3 download and deleted one from there to see if that would work and Bam its gone from the list.....but deleting them 1 by 1, having to scroll all the way back down to where I left off every time one is deleted would be a waste of my time not to mention drive me to possibly commit suicide.....both system\media\audio\ringtones folders are empty....Why in the hell are they still in the ringtone list and still frickin working.......
Try in the /mnt/sdcard/android/.....
That may be just notifications in that folder.. don't remember.

Sounds like this user found a solution.
I'm sorry in advance for asking. I know there have been a lot of people asking/not using search. I tried to search and didn't find anything directly answering my question. Maybe I don't know how to properly use the search.
Anyway, I would like to know only how to go about downgrading from 4.4.2/Sense 5.5 back to 4.3/Sense 5.
I S-offed, then used a method that had me relock, but that didn't seem to work.
Is there even a way?
I just need to know the steps and where I can download what I need to do it properly.
Thank you in advance, and once again, I'm sorry.

Easy on the double posting mate (that really doesnt help anybody, especially you... you'll just end up with different answers on different threads)
1- you want complete stock? or custom ROM?
2- with S-Off, (re)locking is completely USELESS (and not recommended)
3- DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING S-ON
4- if you want complete stock, check my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082 you'll downgrade to 1.xx and can receive updates to 3.xx (Android 4.3) then stop taking the OTA to 4.xx (Android 4.4.2)
Thank you for the reply.
Ya, I just want to go back to stock.
Did I mess up by relocking the phone? It says RELOCKED and not TAMPERED, thankfully.
How would I go about unlocking again?

You, sir, are awesome. Thank you so much.
Your guide was great.
After all is said and done, I'm back where I want to be. There's only one weird issue that I can tell right now.
The gallery used to find all of the image folders on the entire phone, but now only finds the ones in the main directory. It doesn't see any of them that are deeper than one folder.
Example: I have a folder called Media that has a folder called Images in it, and several folders in that one sorted into different categories. Before this mess happened, Gallery found all of those folders and I could uncheck the ones I wanted hidden, but now it only sees the Media folder. I had to copy all of the other folders to the main directory for any of them to be seen.
Any suggestion of what may be causing it or a solution to resolve it?

1- can you see the folders on your PC (when connected through MTP)?
2- I'm assuming you already checked which folders Gallery should show/hide
3- you're sure they're in /data/media/0 (=sdcard on 4.2.2+) as opposed to /data/media (=sdcard on 4.1.2)
4- check if there is a file called ".nomedia" in those folders, if yes delete it.
5- use a file explorer on your phone (such as ES File Explorer) to browse the directory (in settings make sure to "show hidden files"), and see if anything is out of the ordinary
6- maybe try clearing Settings -> Apps -> All -> Gallery -> "Clear Data" & "Clear Cache" to let it rebuild the database

I just downloaded a song on my phone and placed into my Media>Music>Artist Name folder and in the stock music player when I navigate to Folders I can choose the Media folder where all of the music is, but there are no sorted folders in there as I actually have them, only all of the songs. It used to show each folder.
So... I'm not sure what the problem would be. It only happened after I Unlocked/S-off/Root. I am running stock rom though. The last update for 4.3/Sense 5.
Kind of irritating really. I would like to fix it if it's possible.
REALLY don't want to have to factory reset again. Takes me FOREVER to get everything set back up again. lol

Just for the sake of testing, why not make a new folder called "GuessImTesting" (or whatever you like), then copy/paste some pics into that, and see if they show up in gallery.... maybe "Media" folder is ignored by Gallery by default.
Actually, Media comes up in Gallery, just with no folders and only files, just like I noticed with the music app when dealing with folders now too.

did you try copying some pics to some other folder? and see if that shows up?
I took my Images folder out of Media and put it into the main directory where the main Images folder is and everything worked like it should. It saw all of the folders in it and everything. Maybe there's something wrong with my Media folder? All I did was copy it from my backup drive like I always did.
