Anyone know how to set a gmail specific tone and a diff tone for another email such as hotmail??
Also how to set tones for specific contacts? ?

For the e-mail issue, I suppose it depends on the app you are using...I use Enhanced E-mail and in the account settings for each individual account you can specify a unique notification tone.
As far as contacts go, go to the Contacts tab of the dialer app, click on the contact you wish to assign ringtone to, select Menu and Options then select your ringtone...repeat as necessary.
If you don't want to use the supplied ringtones, I think if you create a folder on your sdcard (or maybe internal storage) called 'media' then sub-folder 'audio' then sub-folders there for 'ringtones', 'notifications', and 'alarms' then place your personal mp3/ogg files in the appropriate folder that should work (may have to reboot for system to recognize the tones). Alternately, you can just put the tones in the appropriate folder in the 'system/media/audio' folders (will need to mount the system as read/write in order to copy files over - I use ES File Explorer...just go into settings to enable rooted options then mount system).

I'm using the Google music App and sometimes it will ask for superuser permission. This only started after I was invited to the beta. Anybody know why?

Where did you get the Music.apk from? That application shouldn't be asking for SU access.
Code:
This application has access to the following:
Your accounts
manage the accounts list
Allows an application to perform operations like adding, and removing accounts and deleting their password.
use the authentication credentials of an account
Allows an application to request authentication tokens.
act as an account authenticator
Allows an application to use the account authenticator capabilities of the AccountManager, including creating accounts and getting and setting their passwords.
Network communication
full Internet access
Allows an application to create network sockets.
Phone calls
read phone state and identity
Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.
Storage
modify/delete USB storage contents modify/delete SD card contents
Allows an application to write to the USB storage. Allows an application to write to the SD card.
System tools
modify global system settings
Allows an application to modify the system's settings data. Malicious applications can corrupt your system's configuration.
display system-level alerts
Allows an application to show system alert windows. Malicious applications can take over the entire screen.
prevent device from sleeping
Allows an application to prevent the device from going to sleep.
write sync settings
Allows an application to modify the sync settings, such as whether sync is enabled for Contacts.
write subscribed feeds
Allows an application to modify your currently synced feeds. This could allow a malicious application to change your synced feeds.
Nothing in that list requires access to the /system or the /bin file systems of your phone.
I downloaded it off the market. I didn't think it should be asking.

When I got invited the music app downloaded itself on my nook color and my myt4g right after I finished registration. It's never asked for superuser before.

I am trying to find a better way to listen to voice mail messages that are WAV attachments.
I installed Remote Wave Free for this purpose and used Gmail to set a default association for the wav file but the association does not hold up in the included email app, only Gmail.
I noticed that the extension is always capitalized so I tried creating a new association entry using Astro File Manager using the capitalized WAV as the name. I have tried both setting the association to wav and WAV within the setup but neither have had any success.
I then renamed the file to lower case wav and emailed it to both accounts. Now, in the email client when I click on the attachment it gives me an option of setting Remote Wave as a default but it will not give me that option when the extension is in upper case.
Is there anything else I can do to get this working as a default? Currently I have to download the file then open a file manager to select and play the message. When it is stored on the phone it does not matter if the extension is capitalized or not but only a lower case wav will allow the email client the option of setting Remote Wave as the player. If it is upper case Remote Player does not appear in the list.
Is there a way to associate the application with the mime type and extension it is able to play so it will appear in the list with the upper case WAV?
Nobody?
I was hoping someone could explain how an application knows which optional programs to provide when it is asking which app to open a file with.
Apparently Gmail does not care about the case of the file extension and the other email app does but I had hoped adding a capitalized extension of the correct mime type would have compensated for it.

How can i change the default application for the use of the contactadress in cm7?
If i touch the adress, then maps Starts. I want to start an other app. How Can i change IT?

maybe you dont understand me.
If u go into your contacts, to hold your finger on the "adress" information, then the system will show you some possibilities, to choose it for some applications.
For example: I have installed a Bus+Train-App. instead of typing the adres letter by letter you just have to go into the contacts and click on the stored adress, to import it in the "bus+train" application.
some time ago i could choose this "export"-possibility. but now i could only choose the application of googlemaps....where i can export the contact-adress-information to navigate to the adres.
how can i change the default options to export for example the adres to an application, i wish?
I do a lot of Android app testing. I use my regular phone, where I have my contacts and my regular gmail account. I never used a credit card on this account.
I mostly use APK files to install the apps.
I have 2 questions:
1. can an app display some permissions when installing, but have others hidden permissions ?
Example: instal APK file > says permissions "Network access" and that's it.
Can this app also read my data or make phone calls, even though those permissions were not displayed ?
What is I use an app to display ALL permissions ? Can it really display all or is there an way to still have hidden permissions ?
I use Android 2.3.7 root and 4.1 no root.
2. Can an app make unauthorized hidden operations, like place phone calls or send texts or steal my gmail password ?
Like I said, I never used a credit card, so at least that's not a problem.
But I have my SIM card - can an app place a value added call or SMS (I don't know the exact English term - expensive call), without me knowing about it ?
Or compromise my Gmail account ? I have an alternate email for recovery.
Thanks for your help.
Anybody ?!
My android phone does not have an sms filter (inbox, outbox, sent, draft and custom folders)
Is there any free android app out there that has these facilities - especially the one where I can create custom folders and move inbox stuff into them at my discretion
Thanks

there could be a really advanced one out there that allows you to do that and loads more... who knows
As in yes, mine, check link below in sig
There is a new app that can organize sms into folders.
Now there is an app especially designed for this - SMS Organizer.
(search for SMS Organizer by trailblaze in playstore)
This app supports user defined Folders - so you can create your own folders and save messages in them.
What's more, it also automatically moves messages into these folders, on the basis of 'rules' set by you.
A great app for managing your sms text messages.
