Switched to Eclipse .07..cannot get Custom ringtones to stick to certain contacts. Any ideas?
Could it have something to do with the sd card flip-flop?

Im thinking so...but how do I get around it?
You can flash naven's sd flip-flop from the dev. section of this forum. That's supposed to revert it back to the stock designation. I think the aosp contacts app has no provision for multiple locations for sound files.

Put your ringtones in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ that should do the trick.
Whats really odd about all of it is the fact the ringtones/notifications are there in my list, but does not play the correct one.
I had the same issue last night! I will let you guys know if it works, if someone calls me, lol.
When I get home ill try it...left my usb home and every time I try to dl through browser keep getting nothing.

"Put your ringtones in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ that should do the trick."
this is what i did manually and all of my music and tones were able to be found again.
When I moved my ringtone over it became the same as my default ringer... Seriously, the file name is the same as it was before, but the audio is what my default ringer is! These are custom ringtones I ripped and made myself in AcidPro on my PC so I know what they are supposed to be lol.
Ran the sd flip flop...no go. Not a real deal breaker but Id like to know whether or not to answer the phone when it rings. Plus when my gf hears her ringtone..makes her happy lol,
She calls you when she is next to you? lol

Well heres where we stand...did as per above,when I click on edit contacts to give assigned ringtone it changes to default . Maybe its just the polish comming out in me. Again not a deal breaker but id love to figure this one out.

If i'm using Astro, all I gotta do is copy the apk to the system folder & install then reboot??
Application fails to install.
Anyone else seeing that?
Update: Installed now. Works. Not sure why it was not installing when I downloaded using the XDA app.

You do not need to put the apk in the system folder you can just install it from any folder just like you are install an app from the market, no reboot necessary.

I havent tried this app yet, but Im guessing you would just reset the defaults for the program. settings>applications>manage applications>search and tap on the app>scroll down and tap on clear defaults
Has anyone noticed the little equalizer next to the song stays on as the song is playing even when I stop the song I just wonder if this is eating up anyones battery.Also if I do decide to keep this one how can I go about deleting the old one I know it's something pulling the apk from astro but where do I find it at I'm really new to all this sorry.
It foes not overwrite the stock music app so just uninstall.

Okay so I have a feeling there is a simple fix bit I've tried everything I know on how to fix this. I have ringtones on my memory card that was working find on my Evo 4G and now that I have my 3D it will not let me set them as a ringtone. It doesn't even show up in the list of ringtones like it used too. I can play them in the file explorer that I have but it the option to apply as ringtones doesn't work. the files are .ogg
So you've discovered root sweet how did you do it?

no, the development section, in very broad terms, is more about furthering our phones capabilities via roots and roms. not really a place to ask questions, unless those questions relate relate to rooting or roms you are making. in general, if you're unsure, the q&a section is where you should go before here.

The video is not pointless, if you watched it youd notice you broke an xda rule that's covered in the video. If you can't follow the simple rules, expect to get flamed.
Okay well like I said a few posts after I didn't realize I posted in the wrong forum and if you check Q&A I went there afterwards. So calm down and if this post bothers you so bad why don't you go stalk the other forums and attack all the other posts that should be elsewhere.

Get a file explorer like Astro and then create a folder on your sd card called "media" (no quotes). In that folder, create a folder called "ringtones" (no quotes) and put your custom ringtones in it. They should then show up in the list of available ringtones. Do the same for a "notifications" folder (no quotes).

Done that I have had that set up since I had my G1. I downloaded an app from the market that was a soundboard and when i hit apply my phone froze up and forceclosed. And it didn't apply.

I do know that android can find the ring tones from other roms, even zipped ones. For the longest time I had 3 or 4 of each ringtone. Turns out I had some unzipped roms on sd/speedsoftware/extracted

Hey Eco, flashed your nightly 2 this morning, and the only ringtones that showed up for me were the handful that you included. The notification sounds were all there, but I assumed you included those intentionally, separate from the ringtones.
My only thought is that, as adamcooks touched on above, the OS is seeing a folder on one of your sd's titled ringtones, and its adding its contents to the available options.

I've tried to search around for this but I can't seem to find it relating to the DNA. When scrolling through the system apps and files I came upon Ringtone Trimmer. After researching some I discovered it's usable on the OneX, bit no mention of it on the DNA forums. It's in there, butt my question is this: How do you access it and/or how can I find it to use it.
You get to it through the htc music app. There's a little sideways menu button, press that.

Ya what he says PLUS it has to be an MP3 not a M4A or any of that stuff. So if your using iTunes you'll have to convert it. Thats all..

So it's in the standard music app on the phone? Or is it a downloadable app from the store? I'm almost 100 percent sure that it's the stock music app. I have a midi project saved as music as an mp3 and I want to make a trimmed ringtone out of it. I do not see the option you guys are talking about. Maybe I'm just stupid or I have made the phone too lean in my debloat ingredients process. Maybe direct me towards a video or link or a screenshot might help but I don't see the option anywhere in that application.

Thanks for the screenshots. Apparently because I chose the more aosp (desense) look to my Viper DNA setup may be the reason it's not there. I have the standard music app but it looks nothing like the picture you have. Mine looks very similar (almost identical) to that of the 4shared music app. Perhaps I will try the sense version of the rom and see if that will help. I realize that this appears very easy to do but I simply don't have the app options you show in the screen shots.
Edit: I decided to reflash the Rom and sure enough the desensing tools had an option to remove HTC music and replace it with aosp and I had obviously selected that option. All is well and my ringtone from my midi project is now created. Thanks for all the help. The screenshot was the kicker bigandrewgold. Thanks.

I must be doing something wrong then. I opened up the internal storage on my phone from my computer, created the folder ringtones, put the tones in it, rebooted the phone and still nothing. Am just about to give up.
Should look like this...if not right folder structure it will not read it....if they are a format the phone doesnt play then may not show as well...I use .mp3/ogg as my ringtones and no issues seeing them in ringtones selection. An after thought, custom ringtones for contacts or phone calls...not sure if same applies I would assume it would let you select if for contacts the same as for phone calls

It shouldn't matter what rom I am running should it?
Create a folder on your internal storage or SD card called "media". Inside that folder make a folder called "audio". Without quotes obviously lol. Inside that folder make a folder called "ringtones". Put all of your custom ringtones in there. I have mine in MP3 format and it all works fine.
You can also make folders named "notifications" and "alarms" inside the audio folder and add custom sounds to those as well. It's all picked up by my phone as soon as I add them.
I've been using this method since FroYo and it never fails. Also, I believe you can skip the "audio" folder step and put the ringtones folder directly into the media folder and it should work just the same.
Also, I would make the "r" in "ringtones" lowercase just in case...you never know when OSes will begin getting picky lmao.
Good luck.
It actually could matter...if the dev changed a line in aac it would have the issue your describing. I know this because when I was messing around with the build I use I changed that and couldnt get my ringtones to show just dawned on me about it

If on a custom rom ...look at this file...system\customize\ACC\default.xml
if it says this:

change it to:
