Try
Im assuming you mean the sounds for notifications. You will need to copy the files into "system/media/audio/notifications" to get it to work. However, it might be different using different updates, roms, etc. You also may need to be rooted... You used root explorer so I am assuming you are already.

Yes I am rooted, I specifically want the UI sounds.. but I tried replacing system/media /audio /UI with the UI sounds I wanted, changed permissions and rebooted but no UI sound came after that

How do I install a new framework-res.apk? [solved]

I have a framework-res.apk to give me battery % on the top bar, but im not sure how to install it... Can someone help please?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
use Astro File Manager and open it. you should be at /sdcard. then press "UP" and you should be at / now.
all in all. navigate to /system/framework and replace the framwork-res.apk file.
do backup your original apk file incase things don't work out.
Right I tried that, with Astro I can't copy files to root directories (above /sdcard/) I tried EStrongs file manager and it says it can't be copied... Is there any reason it won't work?
Or is there another way of doing this?
Thanks.

hmm weird. it worked for me, judging from your signature you're rooted so... i have no idea. paid solutions like root explorer and all, or adb. isn't the battery modification done via an update.zip now? it's easier and way automated.
Yeah it's rooted and it had worked before but when this method didn't work again I thought I was doing it wrong.
I'll have a look for the thread again when I'm home and see what it says and if there's an update.zip.
Thanks for the help
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
definitely an update.zip method now. i've applied it yesterday lol no problem.
here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419
Damn you're good, thats the exact thread
Well I'm glad it's done by update.zip haha.

[Q] Transferring swype application

Is there a way to manually transfer swype application together with the database, dictionaries, etc from one ROM to another?
I would like to upgrade to a JPY based ROM, but I don't want to lose swype installed in my current ROM. It has the languages I need as well as a proper RTL support.
I tried backing up swype with MyBackup Pro, then restoring it on JPY ROM. It didn't work, apparently.
Thanks!
No takers?
Does anybody know if it's even possible? Could save me a lot of time copying files and flashing back and forth if I knew ahead that it just can't be done.
Thanks!
+ 1
I too would love to know.

Yes but you have to either replace the files in the Rom zip or move the files manually after flashing. You dont install swipe, you just use adb or file manager to move files to correct locations.

Yeah, I tried that, but it didn't work for me. Either I missed some of the necessary files, or there some compatibility/dependence issues. I'd like to know if it's the former or the latter...

Voltage Control problems

I have a problem with configuring the mV on Voltage control. When ever I set it, which is usually (from top to bottom) 25;50;75;100;125;125 on noop. I got those from someone else but they work well so I kept them. Anyways when I try to set them they never stay that way. No matter if I reboot after saving boot settings or set them temporarily and close the app, when I go back into the app, they all go back to zero. Can anyone help me? I'm on firefly with an overclock kernal that I don't know the name of. My battery is bleeding fast, like 1 percent every two minutes which is ridiculous. could it possibly be a bad kernal?

After u save settings in the voltage control app:
1. Go to /system/etc/init.d
2. Make the folder rw, if it is in ro mode
3. Check for file that was created by voltage scheduler app
4. Rename that to S99_volt
5. Change the folder back to ro (optional)
Your voltage settings will now stick on reboot.
Its a dumb question but where is that? I cant find a system folder in my files

Wait, nevermind. All of a sudden it started working, even after reboot.

Hmmm. You need to install a file manager that has root access, something like root explorer.
I already had root explorer and I did those steps just in case. But now my wifi doesn't work. I can connect to my neighbors wifi, just not mine. I tried resetting ether phone and the router but no luck? Thanks.

I am not sure what ROM u r using. I used to get this wifi error on initial 2.2 ROMs. Now I am not getting these errors with the later ROMs.
I was on firefly and I reflashed and it was better.

How to acces "system" folder on Droid 3?

If a connect it to the PC, i cannot see the system folder. (is there any trick I am not aware of?)
If i use a folder manager, i cannot put a ringtone in the system/media folder...its probably protected or so.
does it HAVE to be rooted or so?
thank you.
Root is required to make changes to /system
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
If you wanna put a ringtone in /system/media use root explorer. That's the easiest way for you, if you're advanced and wanna get familiar with adb, adb push it

THANK YOU.
I assumed that
but is the ROOT safe at this time? i have red a lot of issues after ROOTing...
Uhh... root is kinda never safe? Haha. Idk what you mean by that

getting root itself normally isnt a big issue.. normally people run in to more trouble when they have attempted flashes that go awry.
I used to flash my HTC Touch Pro 2 with a CUSTOM Rom almost every month... for more than 1 year..and no issues there...
but the number of topics with problems after booting the D3...made me think again when modding this phone...
With just a root, you should be ok. I feel that just rooting does very little, and as said before, the issues only arise when we try to take advantage of what root enables us to do...freezing, modding, flashing, etc.
i just want to put a custom ringtone (mp3 file) in the ringtones folders.
the ringtones from this phone..are really stupid.
any ideas which does not include root?
Well I use the MIUI music app and when it asks me to choose a ringtone I just chooose it through that

Use Ringdroid, it's free in market. Ringdroid allows you to crop and edit audio files, turn them in to ringtones and set them as default.
worked perfectly with ringdroid
if i unistall the application, the ringtone will remain?
use root explorer. Thats how i get to it.

nope. if i try to move with root explorer a file in system folder, it says i can not do that. probably because the phone is not rooted.

Exactly. Do not be afraid to root it, you can unroot it whenever you like.

Root explorer isn't nedded anymore. ES file explorer can browse as root, and it's free.

[Q] Removing AT&T boot animation

Now that we have root and are able to remove most traces of AT&T crap from this phone this is the only one left for me. Is this possible to remove yet with root access?
ROM Toolbox Pro does provide this as an option. I cannot say for sure that it will work/brick your phone. There are tutorials you can find on Google to create a qmg file and over write the existing one.
Use caution.
Let me know if you find something usable!

I have a tool that i wrote that will do exactly this and also enable any standard bootanimation check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53494610&postcount=1 remember it is beta and is being updated also make sure you download the patch file from the attachments its needed to make the bootanimation tweak work
I renamed the boot animation file by adding a ".bak" at the end of it. That took care of the boot animation, however, the sound remained. I disabled the boot sound with Wanam if I remember correctly. No problems so far.

Where's the animation file at?
/system/bin
The boot sound can be disabled in Wanam under the sound heading. Just double checked to be sure.
