I flashed DeSensed 1.5 yesterday realizing there wasn't any options for me to add a ringtone. Are there any app that will allow me to use my own custom ringtone?
Are you talking about wajee's desensed rom? If so where did you get the v1.5 from?
--TeckTeck
Let's assume it is that ROM.
Turn on your USB storage and go into the HTC STORAGE drive.
In Ringtones, add the ringtones/songs you want. (If you have a file manager on your phone, you can try that), and then close everything and turn off USB storage. Everything from here on should be simple enough. Go to Settings -> Sound -> Phone ringtone or Default notification. It should all be there and work properly.

Hello all,
I was wondering what causes a rooted Android phone to not use custom contact ringtones?
The ringtones I've assigned to my contacts have been pushed ( with adb push command ) to the phone's system memory, and I can see them in there using Root Explorer ( File Manager ). This only seems to happen when I use a task manager like Advanced Task Manager to End All.. uh... stuff running, I guess.
Is there a process or something that I can put on the exclude list to stop it from cutting off my custom ringers if that's the problem?
Oddly enough, even if I do End All of anything, my microSD card still uses my default ringtone on the phone, though, just the default ringtone, not even the custom contacts set from there work.
Here's a bit more info on what apps I normally use and phone info:
Advanced Task Manager
CacheMate
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software: 2.27.651.5 ( Rooted )

So, first of all, did you push the custom ringers to /system/media/audio/ringtones/? (FYI, you know you can just put u'r custom ringtones to u'r SD card under /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ and you won't have to waste system space...) aside from that fact, you need to make sure u've pushed u'r ringtones to the system/media/audio/ringtones/ directory in the phone. Once you've done that, you shouldn't have any problems accessing them via android's native ringtone selector.
Thank you for the reply Androidious.
Yes, I pushed the ringtones correctly to /system/media/audio/ringtones/. Accessing them isn't the problem though, it's simply that there's a process that controls ringtones, and I'm trying to figure out which it is so I can put it on an exclude list from my Task Manager.
Here's a list of processes that run when my phone is turned on and everything is working:
Sprint Navigation
People
com.smithmicro.DM
Maps
IM
IM
Htc Checkin Service
Sprint Updater
Meebo IM
Updater
Note Me
CacheMate
Messages
Voicemail
Gmail
Settings
Is it possible that the People process controls ringtones?
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.
I rooted my cdma hero almost a week ago, and things have gone okay. I've been running cm6. however, i recently noticed my phone wasn't ringing or anything when i had the volume all the way up. It only vibrated. I figured "well maybe I accidentally applied the 'silent' ringtone" so i went to check that.. only to find that all of my ringtones were gone! I proceeded to re-download a ringtone and notification pack, and put them in the /media/audio/ringtones/ and /media/audio/notifications/ directories. Still.. No ringtones! I tried using the dev tools app to do a media scan.. it says this: "sent ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED to trigger the Media Scanner." Nothing else happens. nothing changes.. so i backed up anything i needed and formatted my SD card. lo and behold, after putting the ringtones back on... nothin'. Can anyone help me? I'm really screwed if i can't fix this. Thanks for taking the time to read my life story, and thanks in advance for any advice!
EDIT: I also now noticed that if i open the music app, it says "scanning SD card" and does nothing else at all.
If your missing ring tones in your rom you can reflash the rom or try a full wipe then reflash the rom. As in wipe data,cache,dev-cache and sd-ext if you have one. What recovery are you running??? And what mods are you running???
Yea it's Me Again With The
Modified Hero
Hey guys
So I have copied 2 custom sound files to my phone 1 for the ringtone and one for messages, they both show up and work fine when browsing via the ringtone selection menu however when trying to select either from the messages selection window they are not there ?
any ideas ?
You need to put new sounds in to right directory. Use root explorer.... For messages - system/media/audio/notification
Restart phone and new tones will be added to the list.

If you don't have just do a new folder it works,
/sdcard/Notifications
it will work as well for alarms and ringtones in COSTUM room with no root, it will work as well if you create in exsdcard...
Yeah, you're right, I'm always rooted and totally forgot about this. Thanks.
Hi Guys,
So right now Im using CarbonRom with android version 4.4.4 on 9070P, but since its unstable and freezes a lot, I would like to return on more stable version of Jelly Bean (4.3 maybe?!). Is there a guide how is this possible?
All I see are guides from reverting Jelly Bean to Gingerbread...
Thanks :good:

Just flash stock rom (JB) with odin.
But don't forget to backup your data and do a nandroid backup (just in case ... )
Thanks for answering!
So the correct process would be Carbon Kitkat->stock rom 4.1.2->new rom (cyanogenmod 10.1 for example).
So I cannot skip the original rom part?

Thanks a bunch!
Almost perfect,
I installed
1)cm-10.1-20131116-UNOFFICIAL-janice
2)gapps-jb-20130812-signed
and
3)9070PJBlibteefolder (since I have P model)
Almost everything works except SD card! With this app https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch I managed to connect to the computer, but im unable to access external storage from phone, "Storage" menu crashes to home screen, file explorer doesent detect sdcard and gallery says no external card. All else seems o.k. How can I fix this?
I add that apps install fine to SDcard, usb storage works no problem as well, mounting manually in terminal game me no permission flags.

You tried to enable usb debugging in Settings > Developer options ? If developer options doesn't show up, go to Settings > About phone and tap build number fast 10 times. Enable usb debugging and try to connect to computer without that app. You can change between MTP or others in notification bar (if you get notificatiom when you connect phone) or by going to Settings > Storage and press menu button and choose usb storage mode.
Also, did you try to put off sdcard and put it on again?
OK, not so perfect after all:
NO Call audio- I cant hear other persons, they cant hear me. Phone rings as usual.
Only reference I found was this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49452037&postcount=3697
but links are dead.
Yes, I tried your suggested method, and it connects to PC w/o that app OK. I can mount/unmount SDcard no problems, also another file explorer shows SDcard contents without a hitch, lets me install apps and play files from it, but STORAGE menu from settings is still off limits, even is no SDcard is present in the phone- results in crash to home screen.
I guess thanks to new root explorer, gallery works, so I guess I could manage without that menu as well.

I downloaded random dialer from google play "truedialer" I think, and all it changed, was the interface, i did setup this as the main dialer, but calls were still made using old dialer and hence no change.
