[Q] Notification sounds

Probabely quite simple but I can't seem to figure it out... :s
Where do personal (ie .mp3) notifications and ringtones go?
/mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications doesn't seem to work.
Neither does writing the different folders with or without capitals.
I've tried several other combinations as well (/mnt/sdcard/audio, /mnt/sdcard/notifications, etc.)
It used to work on 2.2 and come to think of it broke with the upgrade to 2.2.1.
Is there anyone here who can help me?
Sincerely yours,
Jeroen.

Usual is System/media/ audio

And your phone should be rooted and a root explorer is required for this.
Thanks

Thank you for your responses.
My phone is rooted and I already tried pushing the files onto /system
However it should (and used to) work by putting the audio files *somewhere* on /mnt/sdcard - but where?!
The HTC uses that /UI kind of folder structure. The i9000 uses (so it seems) a different one. Android 2.2 allowed me to put audio notification files in /mnt/sdcard/notifications.

Information i gave was for 2.2.1 or before file is in front of me as described .

I see. I'm currently on 2.3.3 any idea on how to make it work?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

You would need to open a 2.3.3 rom and locate the files .
jje

I think I'm being misunderstood...
Where can I put .mp3 files on /mnt/sdcard so they show up in notifications selection list on a i9000 running 2.3.3?
I know where to put these files using root access on /system. So no need to look 'in' a 2.3.3 ROM
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Its weird this because I had though the opposite. MP3 tones that I made in ringmaker that appeared in the ringtone list on my previous ROM (MIUI) appeared in the notifications list not ringtones!
Anyway, for me its sd/media/audio and I have a /ringtones and /notifications folder in there. They didn't appear until a reboot after I lagfixed though

[Q]Cannot get to work ADB SHELL! :(

I installed Java DK after prompted by Android SDK that i dont have Java DK install..
Still Android SDK Setup asking me to install JDK!!
im so frustrated! wasted 3 hours for adb shell to work, still not getting it to work
cannot deodex my fw
Help? i dont want to waste another 3 hours

I assume by "Android setup" that you are running Windows? Have you downloaded the correct version of the JDK? If you are on Windows 7 64bit then you need a 64bit JDK.

follow this buddy for how to use adb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
and use xultimate 2.2.3 for deodexing
hope this helps you

Nope, i have regular 32-bit one.. will try what u have posted..

If you placed the folder on external_sd change the path as

Same for framework too.

right click on the file you added, select permissions. and the permission should be 644. root explorer is an app. to know what is 644, just check the permissions of another file in that folder. reboot and check again

[Q] Quickpic as default gallery.

I just hate the default GB & CM7 gallery app as they take a lot of time to show up my pictures ( there are about 600 pictures on my sd ). That's why I decided to replace the default GB gallery app by quickpic. I renamed it to gallery3D, moved it to \system\app by replacing the original gallery & set permissions & rebooted. But quickpic on opening suddenly closes all by itself. Tried a fix permissions via recovery with no success. My question is, how do I get quickpic working ( as a system app & as an alternative to the original gallery ) ? What's causing it to close all by itself ? Is there any odex file of the gallery that causes this ?

Some apps like camera and quickpic use lib files to function. The lib files have a set of instructions that are common to the corresponding app. So having a lib file makes it easy so you dont have to re write them again and again.

Why does it have to be a system app? Just install Quickpic and use TB to uninstall default gallery. That's it. Even if you don't uninstall default gallery, the OS will ask you which app to use by default.

Samsung gallery app problem. How to make Quick Pic app as the default instead
Dear All, Samsung users.
I have been having serious problems with Samsung S4 gallery App. The App just does not work anymore, as it keeps on freezing etc. I have resetted my phone several times and did it hard reset and the same problem occurs.
After several hours of research, I was told to use Quckpic app, which as a standalone is brilliant, but can anyone please give me a step-by step guide to make QuickPic as the default app to work with my S4 camera app, and also how do you delete the standard gallery App from the S4.
Kind regards

[Q] How to change a big game data directory

Hi, well, i've been searching, well, googling also. How to change the default data directory where the game gets the resources to start the game but no results.
Why?
Well as i have the 8GB version of the SGSA, i have almost 4 GB of storage, right? Well. I also bought a 16GB SD Card to store big games like FIFA 12, NOVA 3, NFS Hot Pursuit, GTA III, etc.
Well, when i download the game, it asks to download it from the apk. Well, i do it, but the problem here is that it downloads to sdcard0/Android/data (internal storage), and i want it to download to sdcard1/Android/data (external). But when i start the game, it just requests to download the whole game again.
So, is there any way to change the direction of the directory where the game uses the resources to start? (From sdcard0/Android/data to sdcard1/Android/data) Help pls

There is a simple method with FolderMount
It creates binds between 2 folders.
In short it's what @frapeti was giving you through manual terminal writing, in a nice GUI suite.
