Hi there!
Is there a way to permanently add Alert/Notification Tones on SGS 2? I tried using an app called Ringtone Feeder but its tones do not stay after reboot. Any way to add custom alert/notification tones?
I have no trouble in adding Ringtones, the problem is only there in adding new/custom Alert/Notification tones. Is there any app which makes the sms/alert tones stay on even after rebooting?
I am on Stock XWKK2
I use Zedge on my SGS2 and the tones stay after rebooting, rooting or flashing zips

Cool. I will give it a try. Thanks.
You shouldn't need an app to do this. I just drop them in my sd card. Create the following folders:
/sdcard/media/Audio/Alarms
/sdcard/media/Audio/Notifications
/sdcard/media/Audio/Ringtones
I have put mp3 and ogg files in these folders and they work fine. You can even create them in the external sd card as well.

Defo best way as they always there to choose no matter what ROM you flash etc.
It's exactly the same way WM used to work back in the day of course locations changed but same principle.

Certain apps tend to save data on the phone's internal storage which is named "sdcard". So in order to trick those apps to save data on my external sdcard(sdcard2), would it be okay to rename the "sdcard" to "internal storage" and rename "sdcard2" to "sdcard"?
Would that cause any problems?
I like to keep my apps stored on my phone's storage and keep everything else (music, videos, pictures, browser downloads) on my actual sd card.
do it in windows explorer; i renamed mine and it works well still
Could you explain how you did this. I have tried a couple different ways and i am having no luck renaming my sd card file.
I am sure with custom roms we can swap the mount points if we want.

But that's not renaming the folder itself as the phone sees it, that's just modifying what the computer knows to call it in Explorer when you hook it up.
OP, I tried changing it myself and it wouldn't work. I don't think it's possible until root comes along and we can modify file system data and the like. Sucks, and it's stupid that HTC thought it'd be a good idea to name it SDcard, but we're stuck with it for now

Not much worse than moto bionic Havering internel storage as sdcard, and the actual SD card, sdcard-ext.

That's the exact case here. Internal storage on the Rezound is "SDCARD" and the acutal SD Card is "SDCARD2" or "ext_sd" - those two folders are mirrors of each other.
How's that for adverbs?
As the title states, I am running ICS Passion V8, and it seems to restart itself randomly. Any ideas?

go to that post
and use the build.prop from there and replace it in /system/
that should fix it according to most people.
Thanks so much!
Anyone happen to know why pictures wont show up in the gallery?

No luck there, I can use root explorer to see the files on the internal SD, but they wont show up in the stock gallery, although using another gallery app from the market works. Music is also not showing up in the music app.

are the pictures in your internal SD? external?
Make sure the folder or any files around that folder aren't named .nomedia

There are no .nomedia files, and I don't have an external SD card

can you use any kind of file manager and see your pictures by going in the file? I mean honestly I don't know this problem, maybe someone else will help you? sorry man
Thank you for the help, I finally ended up reflashing and that fixed it
I finished rooting my Nook Tablet and started copying over files to the /data/media directory. However, none of my music shows up in any of my apps. Why not?
well it does not allow you to copy for some reason
(at least for me)
it just crashes and when i go and see it , it not there.
^(probably did not help, but...)
did you change permissions after copying files?
hey you live in Souther California too

Yes, I gave permission to all of them. None of the files show up in any of my programs, they all say that I don't have an SD Card mounted or just won't show anything.

If you don't see the SD card just pop it out and reinsert it. That's a common thing for the NT.

Did I copy the files to the right directory? How do I get them to show up in my programs?
Edit: This is seriously bothering me now, I have 12 GB and I can't use any of it because none of those files will show up in ANY of my picture/video/music apps. Isn't there any way to link a folder into the internal SD card so that the apps think it's on the internal SD card?
My internal SD card was not allowing me to update, for lack of space, so I moved the camera folder to my external SD card using Astro. There was a duplicate folder, so I chose to rename it. It went through all the hundreds of files, I saw through the progress bar, but when it finished, the created destination folder shows as empty. Files gone from original location. What can I do to make files show in the destination folder?

This is exactly why I never keep photos, videos and music on my SDCARD unless I have a backup. SDCARD's are too unpredictable for me to trust them with information that is not backed up in another location.
So does anyone know how to add notification sounds, alarms, etc. to the system list on the HAM?
I can see for example with notifications, they are located at: device\system\media\audio. I'm on B321 using ES File Explorer and when I try to copy a file to that folder, it's a no go. I'm not rooted. There has to be a way to add files to the list of files when you are adding a notification sound in an app. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Just add the files to the notifications folder on your sd card... They should then appear in your list

Yeah, like with any other device I've had, that should do it. No Notifications folder on the sd card. There is no folder that says "notification" anywhere other than in the system folder.
Make folders either on your internal sd card or external sd card named:
Ringtones
Notifications
Alarms
And place the files in their designated places.
