[AUDIO FILES] Have a very OGG-y AudioResources.zip (EDITED 2:11pm)

IF I'M USING YOUR RESOURCES.ZIP, LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CREDIT YOU!
I didn't see anyone having done this before on a search, and I apologize if it's been done already. I put together all the audio resources I could find for ringtones, alarms, notifications, and ui, converted them all to very small .ogg's and put them in a new zip. It's a little over 9 megs and has a LOT of stuff. Enjoy.
Oh, and if you have more to add, post them. I'll convert them it and add it to the zip
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
1. Unzip
2. IF you are using a media2sd script, put the media folder on your ext partition. If not, use it to replace the one on your phone. I recommend using adb, or just mounting the thing in linux. It'll make it simpler.
3. REBOOT and give your phone some time to index all the ringtones. It'll take some time.
AudioResources.zip:
http://www.lighthousesolutions.info/AudioResources.zip
EDIT:
A LOT of people are downloading and nobody is posting additional links, which means (I hope) that I didn't miss any sound files. I'm glad I could help people out, and if anybody else has anything to contribute please POST! Thanks.
Also, I forgot to post this the first time. Themers and rom developers (hell anyone) feel free to use the converted .ogg's in whatever you want. They aren't mine to start with, but I figure I better make the statement clear.
Enjoy

My compilation is on page 3 ~Mikey~

Thanks! Can't have too many random ringtones to choose from I say. Already got the giant mega audio resource list from the other topic that includes all the various android phones, this will just help more.

I think this includes all of those, although if you find some that I'm missing, please post them. The main draw of this is that all of sound files are as tiny as possible, making it so you can fit them on internal memory if you want to, or just use less space. The entire thing is only 9.4 mb, and it includes the ringtones from the hero and magic.
Post any ringtones it doesn't contain so I can squish them down to tiny size too.

I can't find any media2sd scripts on the forum. Can any one point me in the right direction?

You don't have your rom in your sig, so my help will have to be very basic. I run cyanogen's experimental rom (not for the faint of heart) and huanyu's user customizable script. Other than that I can't offer much help. What I can say is that if you push the ENTIRE contents of this zip to your ext partition on your sd card and use huanyu's script with media2sd activated, you'll be fine.
Huanyu also has a version of his script for the stable series of cyanogens roms.
I have NO idea how to do media2sd on hero. I don't support hero as an os and will never use it unless the ENTIRE android community decides to go that route.
If you are using another rom let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I'm currently on Drizzy's newest hero build, but the guts are the same. I went back and did some research and that script is working thanks for the help.

No problem, and I'm glad they're working out for you. So far I've got over 100 downloads, so it seems people like this.
Anybody with any additional tones to be added? I'd really like to beef it up!

I'd love to give you some of miine but I don't have any that don't have a copyright next to it but if you want them anyway I'll upload them for you.

Thank you mate!

Are any of them for a released or soon to be released android phone? I could put together a "legal" and a "questionable" vesion, although the latter might have to be off the forum (hint hint). I'd like to keep the one on here being full of nothing but official android and htc ringtones for released and soon to be released (ie leaked) android devices.

Noob Question...
I'm running CyanogenMod-4.0.4 + Recovery 1.4 and the community hero rom and was wondering how I should go about implementing this audio resources zip. Do i apply the update from the recovery? Or is there some other way of getting them on?

You can push them to /system/media....but I'd recommend using hyanu's userinit.sh script instead. media2sd is FAR superior for the number of sound files were talking about here.

any chance of this being posted elsewhere? Was looking to download this, but the site doesn't seem to exist.

Can't use my host for any more hosting of FREE ringtones

awesome..! thanks
i may use it for DarkDream theme

[Mod/Script] MetaMorph, A Theming Project 0.1g(ALPHA)

First of All, I'd like to say a big thanks to the contributors of what your about to get into.
Thanks to Kastro,
Kastro is a developer on this project and did ALOT, and I mean ALOT, of work with this script. He also cross compiled zip, which is the core this project(Originally I had the id to use aapt to do this but we couldnt get it to run on the phone), to work on our phones. So hats off to him.
Thanks to Riku,
Riku has been a big help being our guinea pig and script optimizer. Riku has tested and wiped and flashed and tested things over and over again. He also helped keep the script pretty and optimized.
Thanks to Prash,
Thanks Prash for giving us a theme to work with, he was on board from the start.
Thanks to Ted and Manup,
This guys also loaned their work to us so we could provide examples. We appreciate your talents and skills.
Now, to the Good stuff.
This is an ALPHA release. This means that there will be bugs. We expect there to be bugs....dont use this thinking that there won't be!
MAKE SURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP EVERYTIME YOU FLASH!!!!
And the fun part...
Thanks to Cyanogen for this...
Code:

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
*/
This thread is for a project we have been working on to allow themers and end users a better way to theme our phones, any android phone btw. This method will not only allow for end users to apply updates without having to go into recovery mode, and most of the time without rebooting, but will also allow themers to start making battery packs, icon packs, lockscreen packs, status bar packs, etc. all without disrupting anything but the images and files they want to update.
Along with this project though comes with a few conditions.
1) A new way to do theme update files.
2) new rules concerning these new theme files.
3) almost limitless possibilites
The default Directory for these themes will be stored on the end users SDCARD in the directory AndroidThemes. (For now there is no way to change this, but there will be in the future)
The contents of MetaMorph.zip go into /system/bin. (For now there is no way to change this, but there may be in the future)
Once you put the content there, please cd into /system/bin and chmod mm.sh and zip to 0755, like this:
cd system/bin
su
chmod 0755 mm.sh
chmod 0755 /system/bin/zip
After you've done and put a theme in your AndroidThemes folder, you are ready to go!
Now open terminal and type:
mm.sh
to get started.
The rest is pretty self explanatory.
To theme DEVS( and users), I have videos uploaded which will go over the specifics of the new theme.zip, please watch this! Very VERY important, so important, I wont tell you how to make one here because you need to watch the videos!

Any questions, problems? Ask below, let us know!
Stericson
Update: Added some more error detection for the theme control file. Also moved the location where we put the script. Move the script and zip file to /system/bin. chmod 0755 both the mm.sh and .zip. Now you can run it anywhere just by typing mm.sh -i.

#OTHER INFORMATION, PM ME TO ADD REFERENCE/LINKS
# REGARDING NON-apps2sd USERS:
there isn't anything except two files going to be in that directory, so you should still be ok, make sure you mount your FS read-write before putting the files on your system partition:
Code:
adb remount
adb push file-to-push.ext /system/sd/theming/file-to-push.ext
also, if magic users have troubles with the default terminal app w/ the on screen keybaords you guys have on your roms, try out Better Terminal, the free version, from the Android Market ​
THIS IS A SCRIPT MADE FOR EITHER ADB OR USE ON THE ANDROID DEVICE ITSELF!
which means yes, you can use terminal, or yes, you can use the android debug bridge! ​
This script in the end will be designed to be compatible with ANY rom, we need you to test it, (we're talking to you, dev's

this is not quite ready I think for theming third party apps, though I'm sure its entirely doable, remember its ALPHA!
also, the only things in /system/sd/theming are two files,
so you shouldn't have to worry about it, though again, its not quite ready for changing, I would suggest creating that folder

For now it wont, but as I said, in the future we will have this fixed. We allready though of this. Magics cant be rooted and use apps 2 sd?
Or are you referring to no keyboard?
Does the on-screen keyboard work in terminal?
Also...you never know...hmmm there may even be some wild and crazy app made to use this....neverrrr knowwww

pretty much this will work with any rom, however, I personally would recommend "right theme, for the right rom" as a few roms (like blur, hero, etc) have a different image setup, ALTHOUGH. this will most likely work, but thats why its an alpha release, so that we can test this fact. PLEASE nandroid before use

Can't wait for the videos to see what new toys we have to play with

This could be my end all solution to maintaining all the NFL themes, and make it way easier to manage the NBA and NHL.
Following this, I could essentially issue 1 update.zip for a color set (says like Blue/Red for Giants, Patriots, Texans, Rangers, Pistons etc..) and then use the packs to have all the icons, clocks and etc. which would save me from flashing things over and over to test.

[Kitchen][Online] website which lets anyone bake a rom

Hello, i'm a web developer and have no experience in developing android roms. Anyways, i'm planning to develop a free website which will let any developer create an online kitchen for his rom, where users like me can come and bake rom according to their needs. Now as i don't have any experience with cooking roms, i would like a little help from the developers. Help i am seeking in is, what features a fully customizable kitchen has, how to change the update.zip for the changes, and adding applications to the zip. I have a little bit idea, but want a clear process.

you will get flamed for this

This really is an admirable goal, but you're attempting to bite & chew WAY more than your mouth can handle!!!
You're a web developer, good.
You have no experience in developing android roms, bad.
You want to develop a free kitchen, good.
You have no experience with cooking roms, bad.
You want developers to help you in exchange for a free kitchen for their rom, bad & good.
You don't know how to update the "update.zip" file and re-sign it, bad.
You don't know how to add an APK to the above mentioned "update.zip" file and re-sign it, bad.
You have a little bit of an idea, but want a clearer process, bad.
All of the above noted BAD points, have been discussed, referenced, and linked on these forums countless times shararti.
You really need to search, read, search some more, and apply what you've learned.
I too am a Web Developer/Designer. I've been in the business of creating websites since 1999 (off & on). And the above mentioned project it something I WON'T EVEN DARE ATTEMPT.
Good luck!

I did search, countless times, everywhere. But as lack of my experience with rom development, it was quite confusing. Well I do know signing and adding apk part, and the rest, i agree, i need some help. I'm willing to give my summer to this project and develop this kitchen for the xda community (i'm also willing to give it away to xda). Now if anyone is willing to help me, please pm me.

Actually, it isn't that difficult.
There are quite a few scripts and programs that you could simply employ on your website. I'm sure those developers wouldn't mind
You would have to tier your ROM baking based on the major ROM cores, and the features swappable between flavors of those cores.
It's simply letting the user choose what he wants in his base ROM, pushing the files into the zip, and running the script to sign them.
I'd be glad to guide you in the structure of ROMs, and showing you what can be mixed and matched.
PM me. We'll get started.

Sounds like a very cool idea and I wish you all the best and hope you find some programmers willing to teach you about roms, and you can do the web coding and make your idea a reality.
I'd use it for sure, would be wicked. Imagine going to this web page on your N1 customizing a ROM, building it and then flashing it. All without going near a computer. Sounds unreal!

You're right ... sounds unreal!
Something the iFans would never be able to attain.
Even better, how about, instead of flashing some large file, only the ones affected by an update are flashed, resulting in a much SMALLER file (thus saving on data usage) and a FASTER flashing (saying on battery life).

Well it all depends on what you want. I would suggest you have a base rom without the boot.img stored with minimal capability in a folder. then allow the user to choose what type of kernel and capabilities they would like with it. That will be the minimum amount for a rom. Then you can follow it up with additions such as extra scripts and applications that can be added and moved to the appropriate directories. at the end, you would zip up the selection and sign it, with the appropriate update-script (which should be the same as the stock rom's unless the additions require something drastic)
So the folder tree should look something like this for one specific ROM:
ROM/ROM Core Files (this is the base rom without boot.img)
ROM/ROM Core Files/META-INF (this is for the update zip)
ROM/ROM Core Files/system (this is where the system apps go)
ROM/ROM Core Files/data (this is where certain apps go)​
ROM/ROM Kernels (this is where kernels are/boot.img)
ROM/ROM Kernels/boot.img.1 etc​
ROM/Modifications (this is where apps and other mods go)
ROM/Custom Build (this is where the baked rom should go)
Then all you need to figure out is how to move everything to the custom build directory
Move the core to custom directory and a boot.img (rename it from whatever it is to boot.img) and then move and modifications to the appropriate directory inside the custom build folder. Then zip the custom build folder and sign it
That should be about right. its 3 am here lol so i may be missing something. pm me if you need more help or post here

Exactly.
The great thing about it. The ROM core files can be optional. You can bake a kernel or you can bake CM w/ custom kernel and custom mods, i.e. modded phone.apk. You can bake anything and everything.
Mmm baking never sounded so good.

Ok so after reading it 3 times carefully, this is what i got to:
All roms have same common files, which are:
1. the META-INF folder.
2. the system folder.
3. the data folder.
This is a basic skeleton of any rom, and every rom has these exact files.
Now what i have to do is, when a user cooks a rom, i have to pick the required boot.img and put it into the basic skeleton, in addition to any apps/modifications user want. Then zip the whole package and sign it.
Is that it?
PS: you also said that i may need to change update-script, in what cases that would be required?
PPS: Do i have to make changes to some other files too? cause it sounds too easy to be true =p

They usually have the same folders, not files
the META-INF has the signature files but most importantly the update-script which tells the phone what to do when your flashing the update.

that SHOULD be it but remember that you may have to remove some apps from the core files of the rom such as amazon mp3 that people may not want, so you will have to see what apps can be removed and decide whether you want users to be able to remove it or not.
You MAY have to change the update-script if for example you want to put some things in the data partition and symlink them or change the data partition to include the ext partition instead of just for apps. Changes like that are usually for ROMs that are too big to fit properly on the nexus ( youll also have to check the size of the system and data folders to make sure they fit on the phone without modification)
Most of this stuff will be figured out in testing haha but ya at the very basicee its what you have here. You really have to know what you actually want users to be able to cook and then build the kitchen to that effect

So does that mean i can use same core for all custom baked roms? Except for the update-script, which in rare cases, may need to be altered.

I took a look at system folder and it's quite populated. Can you tell me what are the basic files that are common for all roms? For the rest of the files, i guess i'll give the user choice to include them or not.
Also can you tell me what is zipalign? Will that be required in baking process?
And to let everyone know, I have already started the working on the kitchen =]

Well it really depends on what ROM's your looking at. Some devs change the apps to their liking. For example, CyanogenMod has a modified Settings.apk that has features specific to his rom. However, all ROMs have Settings.apk. As such, you will probably have to have a Core ROM folder for each specific rom.
I would suggest looking at other online kitchens and see what features they offer, come up with a specific feature set and then decide what direction that you want to take.
zipalign is a compression technique that optimizes how .apk files are accessed in android. it makes things faster and is not required but would be nice to have. you lose the benefits if you open and modify any files from a zipaligned apk

Let's clear some things up here.
First, core files are not interchangeable between main roms but only flavors of those main roms.
As of now, we have 3 main roms for the nexus one.
CyanogenMod, Modaco Custom ROM, and Desire/Sense Roms.
Each of these roms have their own unique cores amd features and are not interchangeable.
There are flavors of each of these roms.
Flavors of CM has parts that are interchangeable with other flavors but use Cyans core.
Say there is one CM flavor that has some themieing and a few other changes you don't want. You can take the themed files and put them into your CM base and leave the rest out.
You can't put that themeing into a Modaco Custom ROM though.
Kernels I believe are the only things can be put into any ROM base. Most apps are as well.
Now that I look at it. Doing a Nexus One kitchen isn't that difficult but making a full featured HTC kitchen would be a mountainous task. There are so many mods, roms and themes to keep track of. We'd have to designate people from each device forum to feed us the ROMs and parts that are active and functional.
P. S. Lectures are over at 7 today. ill be able to crack down on it with you then

Kitchens are for the Food Network...

well thanks flybyme and APrinceAmongMen, these 2 posts really cleared up somethings. I'm in the process and will keep you guys updated.

QUESTION: how do i change the radio and boot animations in a rom?
PS: the good news is, i'm done with all the hard part, and just few small things remaining. Probably if anything else doesn't comes up, you guys should have a n1 kitchen within few days =D

boot animations are located either in /data/local or /system/media
radio flash will require you to change the update-script
you can look at the FRF50 update with the radio to figure it out ( or pm me if thats too difficult, its a little late else id do it myself)

Just make sure the radio is excluded by default.
Another thing about radios, the newest radio usually works on older roms, but old radios don't work on the roms released with and after the newest radio.

Ideas for a Custom Rom

Hello everyone,
I was reading all the posts about Custom Roms and I wanted to make something like an "XDA-Rom"... Maybe it would be better if I explain what I mean
Beginning from the system, I'd say it should be a very lightweight Rom (like the Gilgamesh one), so, without almost all the LG crapware. But I'd keep only few things of this softwares:
- contact manager (so far it's the best one I've found, but maybe because I lack of experience)
- keyboard (on some videos they say it's the fastest one, but I may be in error)
- LG home and Home switcher, so that we can keep the mirroring app working when needed.
Then, I'd add the last MoDaCo kernel (the ROM should be working in EXT4, if I understtod correctly, this shall make the phone faster), maybe we could make a proper boot animation, and just few app that are (in my opinion) the only really needed, like the gmail app, the calendar one and only the basic things. We could even update the baseband and root the phone directly from the rom, so that after a fresh install it's already running. I'd replace even the LG lockscreen, that is really nice, but it's too slow (when I switch on the screen, I see the home and then the locked screen, this shouldn't happen with the default lockscreen).
Ofc, any suggestion is welcome
Thanks for reading, and I hope my idea is not that bad

I agree on the bootanimation.

Only on that? d'oh, I wrote for half an hour btw, I'd add Root Explorer as default as well... but I don't know how to do, I mean, would be enough to create the ROM with the kitchen (really a nice tool!) and then edit the *img files adding the software I want in the /system/app directory? Maybe this is a noobish question, but it's the first time I even get closer to creating a custom rom

Oh, integrate BLN to have notifications would be a great idea ! (if you touch the kernel)

the root explorer is not for free.. so forget about this

Why? Install modaco and use filexplorer and delete all thing u dont want instead

For the experience, I'd like to test

Just use the online kitchen...
I was actually 30 mins from posting a pretty close ROM to what you mention here yesterday, but built the one I'd like online instead (except for some tweaks I put in laster on).
If people is more open for a ROM like this for direct download, I'm happy to compile/maintain it Just thought that it wasn't needed...

Atrix roms and more ...

On this site there is roms that have not been posted on xda.
After going to the website, click the rom folder, and there they are.
If you go to the fifth folder from the bottom, then go to the secret folder, there are files that seem to be ICS ports.
Tell me what you think!
The Site seems to be down...

Very cool! Folks, if you're thinking of flashing this, you may want to consider reviewing the contents of the .zip before flashing, removing anything like recovery.img that could lock you out of the Rom Manager or RomRacer CWM you're familiar with.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, wait for someone else to come around and take a look first.
Happy Hacking and don't brick yourself!

While I was writing this, I see the trolls have descended upon the thread. If you're not technical enough to rip it apart and flash it, don't post.
It's a developer forum folks, nobody cares if you're anxiously awaiting everyone else to take the first try, we only care if you did and your results...

Damn, im so tempted..
I will review the contents of the zip, and report back.. Although I don't technically know what Im looking for besides a recovery image.

currently downloading some of those and taking a look inside them, everyone please go about this careful!

You're so freaking awesome man, here you come to the rescue again

checked out the one tittled ics_port_olympus_singed_test.zip, currently in the process of flashing it, will let you guys know whats up! the size seems legit

I would have to reluctantly check out mentally from my family for the night if this is true

ROM > TurtleRom > TurTleRom beta5.zip is ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-7-12112011-NIGHTLY-Olympus Didn't bother looking further as this looks boring
MIUI > alpha2-miui-Snya.zip is CM7 based too, but looks like it's default locale is in korean. Definitely has MIUI apks, rooted with Dolphin Browser HD too and Titanium Backup.

but the file has installations issues, it aborts, let me fix that shiot and give it a second try!

Just found a kernel in there too called the jaryo 1.45 kernel it booted up fine but when i checked my about phone settings it clearly shows its actually fauxs kernel so nothing new there either.

my Koreans a bit rusty but this hopefully will turn out good.
Lots of it is just mirrors to other roms and something about a trackball

the are several ics ports in there!

Yeah im bettin this is all the same ole **** with just different names. that ics port is probably just evogp's rom!

No, it's clearly not; the build.prop file, for example, is totally inconsistent with a CM7 build.prop, and quite consistent with the build.prop files of other ICS beta ROMs that have been appearing.
