Greetings.
Just recently I flashed my Wildfire with Cyanogenmod 7 and so far it's an awesome ROM, although I miss a few things from Sense.
Just yesterday I noticed that on my Cyanogenmod 7 I can't seem use custom ringtones. Let me explain.
I deleted all the profiles and only the Default one is present and selected, it does not override anything.
Then I installed "Rings extended" because that seemed to work really good on stock ROM and selected to use it as the default ringtone picker.
It works fine, but the problem is, when I go to "Setttings -> Sound -> Phone ringtone" and select my ringtone using "Root explorer", or any other option available, it does select it and I can play it when I tap it, but it DOES NOT play when someone is calling me - instead it plays the first system ringtone.
Same thing happens with the notification sound and an SMS sound (Messaging -> Settings -> Notification settings -> select ringtone).
Now I tried to create a "ringtones" folder and "notifications" folder and put my rings there. The system ringtone picker detects them but again - does not play them.
So I have no idea what is wrong with it, maybe they needs to be in some special format or something...?
Ok, I managed to sort this myself. I got an idea what to do while I was writing the first post
Seems the problem was with me deleting the Android player, which was not deleted on my stock rom.
When I installed the Cyanogenmod 7, I removed all the useless google apps, including the Android player which was useless to me and it seems that it was responsible for custom ringtones as well.
I installed the one that I found on the market, used it to select my ringtone and everything is fine now!
Brilliant suggestion
I just flashed my HTC T-Mobile G2 (Desire Z) with CM7 and I ran into the same problem.
A quick search online brought me to your post and after following your advice, I end up having my ringtone back!
Great suggestion, thanks!

hi,
i just thought this may help other users of galaxy ace to add ringtones and notification tones..
i just created this folders to my sd card and audio files are shown automatically to the ringtones and notifiaction tones. i am just new to this phone and tried everything for a few days with no luck, no application needed to add your favorite songs, tones..hope this will also work for you...
SDCARD/ MEDIA/ AUDIO/ RINGTONES
and for the notifications...
SDCARD/ MEDIA/ AUDIO/ NOTIFICATIONS
It works.....no apps needed....just create folders...
thanks bro!
Just an addition to the first post...
You can create a third folder for the alarms, the same way:
SDCARD/ MEDIA/ AUDIO/ALARMS
Put in the audio files you want, and you will be able to select them when configuring an alarm!
thanks for the info, but guys i have a problem, I downloaded a custom ringtone but its volume is too low compared to the preset ringtone the handset comes with. I already maximized the volume for the notification in the settings menu, can anyone help me. thanks a lot and more power to the forums.

You can try using this program, MP3GAIN, to boost up your mp3's decibels.
http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/download.php
Or this app from Android Market..Volume+ (Sound Boost)
currently using this app for my boosted up mp3s using MP3GAIN. Results = LOUD
But works only on Gingerbread..
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&feature=search_result
Can't work out how to thank you, OP (perhaps I'm too new) - but, thanks!
Helped me too, finally... Just had to balance out ringtone with notification volume.
Thanks to both OP and Chikanoz
or maybe you can just install yourself a zedge app/Go sms
ADVICE
BUT it's better if you convert mp3 to ogg....
i've noticed if i use mp3, the sound takes a few seconds
Hit thanks button if i helped you
Yes..you need to make them OGG files.They are recommended
Great...thanks a lot. Is there a way to delete original ringtones?

Yeah, I think I got an idea. Use ES File Explorer (amazing app!) and tap on the favourites tab. Tap on "/" and then go to to /system. From there go to media (/system/media/) and then audio (/system/media/audio/). From there you should find some folders. Alarms, notifications, ringtones and ui.
Quick heads up, I'm just going off of the way I transfered a notification tone from my Acer Iconia Tab A500 to my Samsung Galaxy Ace, so no promises
And if all else fails, I have to second and say use Zedge
notifications

There is an easy way. Got to "My Files" from menu, select "create folder" name folder, "Notifications" Copy whatever music you want from your SDcard, called, "external_sd" and paste into "Notifications". Your music will appear in the notifications ringtones list in "Sounds". Just select it.
Thanks so much, this has been an absolute godsend, I can use a tone I can actually hear for my reminders!
Then, yesterday it suddenly decided to stop working The dfault on calendar alarms went to on screen notification and the sound file I'd added had gone. I connected USB and it's still there, but doesn't show up in the list of ringtones any more.
Any suggestions? I'd be so greatful, I'm going to miss all kinds of appointments now I'm sure
all they need now is a folder for playlists which i'll try to implement into my new geared series

The only sound that can be changed on the Sony Tablet S or P is the Default Notification sound. To change the sound, select Settings, select Sound, then select Default Notification. A popup will appear showing Android System. Select Android System and a list of sounds will be shown. Select the sound you want, then touch OK. If you have a file manager like ES File Explorer, it too will be shown on the popup. Select the file manager if you want to find and select a sound file you have installed on your tablet.

How to change or disable the Notification ringtone.
How do I use my own music or sound file as a Ringtone or Notification tone?
Hi yesterday i've flashed RootBox v3.5 stable(not nightly).
So far i'm very impressed with the smoothness of RB, aswell as deep sleep ratio with stock kernel.
If possible i would like to have some information about this rom, that i havent found using search in rootbox thread.
How do i display only my SIM contacts ? ( i was able to import them from SIM card to phone, but i would like to have the option to only view the contacts from my SIM card)
How do i insert a new contact only to my SIM ? ( after importing SIM card contacts, if i try to add a new one, it will go directly to my google account, but i only want to add a new contact to SIM card, i've tried clicking in everything but can't find the option to insert only in SIM card)
How do i change the Keyboard style from texting ? (I've noticed there is only one keyboard layout, any zip or something that i'm able to flash to get numeric keyboard)
Any way to change the SMS layout bubbles ? (i've only found mms, i would like to have bubble speech baloons with different color for sender/receiver )
Where can i set a sms or call sound file from my mp3 ? ( i've search for it, but i can't find any option to select a mp3 sound from my phone)
When i insert my 3.5mm headphone jack, there isnt any notification of it in status bar, and when i go to Settings - RootBox Settings - HeadSet and active it, it gives me FC on DSP Manager.
So far this is the only problems i've got, where the real "bug" was the last one.
Appreciate all your help.
Best Regards

U can't only show the SIM contacts.
Only thing u can do is import or export the contacts from or to zip.
That's not possible with stock keyboard. U have to use a third-part keyboard here like 'Go keyboard' or 'SwiftKey' [look at playstore]
This one's have&manage Designs.
MMS is in this point the app. So u write the SMS via the MMS.apk.
So this means u can go to the Message app > settings > mms theme...
Here u can set bubble style in massagelist or kind of this
Tey to coy the mp3's to System > media > audio...
For sms sound: notification
For call sound: ringtone
Not this should appear in settings of phone (ringtone) or the message app (sms).
If this won't work, u have to convert the mp3 to Ogg first.
Why u want a notification?
The is no notification - so if it works, all is fine.
Because FCs in DPS, just ignore this and wait for newer version in this case.

I'm new to phone modding, so please be forgiving.
I just flashed Slim-i9100-4.3.build.2-OFFICIAL-1334 and I want to be able to use Google Play etc., so I downloaded Slim_aroma_selectable_gapps.4.3.build.2 and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly.
So, should I just go to recovery and flash the zip? That's it? Should I wipe both caches beforehand?
More questions:
- can I somehow change the view in Gallery to list (with small thumbs maybe)? The only two options are grid and filmstrip and they both suck for browsing movie clips.
- how can I add mobile data on/off shortcut to the notification drawer? I know I can modify the quick settings section, but that just adds an unneccesary step. Vanilla Android has that!
- can I make the font in the status bar slightly bigger? It's too tiny.

You should of flashed gapps straight after flashing the rom. It should be ok to just flash gapps tho.
There might be a gallery on the play store for that but not sure.
Im dont use Slim but its base is cyanogenmod. You should have a toggle there with your network name? If so that is your data toggle.

yes flash gapps from recovery, always wipe cache and dalvik before is best practice. Data on/off on notification, that should be there in slim (if I remember rightly) You could check out widgetsoid to put toggle on home screen, I find this quite useful for seeing at a glance what is going on and abilty to change immediately as needed. You may also want to check out Tasker (paid app) I wouldn't be without it, then you can easily automate data on/off for what ever you like - example: screen off/data off - screen on/data on, browser on/off/data on/off etc.
Yes, you can make status bar bigger from within slim settings - change dpi to 240 (which will restore your phone to original screen size), if you wanted to get more technical you could use xposed settings with per app settings module, this works a dream for me, then you can set ui to 240 for example and other apps as you like them.
Also - quick pic may be a suitable solution for your gallery issue, I find this a good app.
Hope this helps
Happy modding!
Thanks for the replies. I have another problem and I don't want to make another thread, so here goes (it's a bit complicated, so bear with me):
I flashed the aroma gapps ROM and the installation process went fine, BUT it somehow corrupted my presonal/contact data. I would get "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." and "Unfortunately, dialer has stopped." errors. Maybe because I didn't wipe cache/dalvik?
Anyway, I read somewhere that to fix that you should disable and clear cache/date of:
- DRM Protected Content Storage
- Media Storage
- Dialer
- Contacts
- Contacts Storage
Which is what I did, but I think I did one too many things. The errors are gone, the contacts list is fine, I can send SMS and call no problem.
But now when I connect the phone to my PC, I can't see any folders in Windows Explorer! I can see the GT-I9100 icon in My Computer, I can see "Internal Storage" and "SD Card" on it, just not any contents. 0 folders, no hidden ones either.
Also I can't see any ringtones in the Settings->Sound->Phone ringtone menu, same goes for Notification sound. It only lists "none" as an available tone. Yeah.
HI, Today i have successfully installed slim-4.3 build 2.1 unofficial on my HTC HD2, after successfully installing SlimBean aroma gapps build 2 through recovery, there was no gapps package application in my launcher , what will be the problem ?
Slimbean 4.2.2, contacts and dialer apk of stock 4.1.2
Is there any way to have the contacts and dialer apks of Stock 4.1.2 can be installed/flashed in slimbean 4.2.2.
would be nice if there's a prompt reply.
Hi, so I have a phone and it's not standard android based. It has no preview for selecting sounds.
It's lenovo and it has it's own private theme center which doesn't allow outside sound files.
So I was wondering does anyone have a link to an apk which will allow me to preview sound clips when I am selecting them from the choose ringtone menus. I have ES Explorer and it only allows me to select files, but not preview them.
Because the internet is so vast I am not sure what an effective search term would be to give me the results I need.
I've tried and I've ended up with ringtones you can download, how to delete the stock ringtones, issues with them not responding etc.
Ahh I believe I may have answered my own question:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angryredplanet.android.rings_extended
There is however an issue is that it only load from the Ringtone folder.
It doesn't load the notification folder.
