I am using the Energy Rom. I LOVE IT! But lately my phone has been doing weird crap.
I have custom ringtones set for different people on my contacts list.
Now it switched all my ringtones all around.
My friend just called and it played a recording of a phone conversation I had AS A RINGTONE!
Do I really have to reflash the O/S?! F*ck!
I have that issue also. The fix is to move the ringtone you want to /system/media/audio/ringtone and be sure it's an mp3. Then it won't change. You can do this for any notification tones also.
If you want you can delete any of the ringtones that come with the Rom just so you won't have too many taking up valuable space.
Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.
I just play a video when someone calls =D
Mine has been doing this in addition to other bothersome behavior lately.
I am so glad I'm not alone .... I have to reflash the rom anyways because after I changed the font settings my graphics started looking nasty and pixelated....
I wonder why I haven't seen anyone talk about this issue before!
I use go SMS .. I had the same problem till I ensured my "settings" matched go SMS and all was fine even through a reboot..
So my default ringtones and notifications matched.. But my custom "per contact" sounds stayed too!

I think the 2 differing settings apply themselves at different times in the boot sequence.. As 3rd party dialers and SMS apps access and modify the settings their sequence of access may be misdirected or cause errors...
As you have said you are running go SMS & dialer and facrory/rom/oem apps...
All of these access expecting to make the final decision.. I'd love to know if the roms can come without dialer etc apps
This was the theory I used and it has seemed to work.... I am on the wind mobile stock kernel pure factory setup..

I wanted to know what sweet apps people use to take full advantage of root. I'm running Ginger bread and want to know if I'm missing out on anyother cool things with root?
Sent from my Ginger Tazz using Tapatalk
I wouldn't say that you're missing it, but here are a few of the apps that I consider requisite (for myself) when flashing new rom's on a regular basis:
TitaniumBackup - a must. spend the extra for the paid version. Very handy for restoring apps and settings. I figure it paid for itself the first time I ran batch operations.
DialerOne - a phone app similar to the stock Sense version that has T9 equipped for keypad dialing... (eg: I press 666 for "Mom")
HandcentSMS - my preferred messaging app.
Wireless Tether - at least I don't have to pay for mobile hotspot
The rest are just the typical apps I DL should I need them:
1337pwn (xbox friends list), dopewars, ebay, fandango, google maps/skymaps/my tracks, gps status, IMDB (satisfies my inquiries for random movie trivia), Mint (finances), speedtest, Swype
...and of course, the XDA Premium app! Seriously, its $1- why wouldn't you have it?

There's a nice list over on AF in the Droid X root forum (http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/131944-favorite-root-applications.html). Credit to Trident for gathering these up over there. Note: these are not Droid X specific.
Here's the short version:
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer
Terminal Emulator
CacheMate
Drocap2
Wireless Tether for Root Users
AdFree Android
GScript
AutoKiller
Reboot Control Widget
SetCPU
Temp Monitor
I would put Quickboot in there too (along with my AFV app, of course).
Cheers!
To me, the whole essence of rooting your phone is the control and freedom you gain. Don't like the OS, change it. Don't like a protected app, uninstall. Boot animation, change it. Volume not loud enough, turn it to 11. Colors, change them. Need more storage, move data apps to system, or data cache to cache, cache. Cpu not fast enough, overclock it.
Android becomes whatever You want it to be. Not what some board room marketing geniuses said they thought it should be.

Lol, hey speaking of which how would you increase the volume going out the line out jack? It's below my sattelite radio, and waaaay far below the cd player's volume. Just wondering, when i stream sirius in my car i have to turn it up pretty high because even at its highest the phone is pretty low.

I had an app on iOS that whenever a call came in, it didn't take up the whole screen. It only showed up on top, similar to the iOS 5 notifications. There are times I don't feel like answering a call when using my phone and I don't want to reject it because then they would know. Is there an app that can stop incoming calls from using the whole screen on android?

The only thing I can think of is a stock feature on CM7. It only gives you a status bar notification that you have an incoming call. I'm not sure if there are apps for that, but I'd imagine not.
I'm trying to stay away from CM7. I'm on UnNamed. How has a dev still not put something like this together?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
It involves modding the framework. CM7 has a modded framework, that's why it has it.
It isn't easy to implement and requires actual coding, not something normal ROM developers can do.

Yes, there is an app on the Google Play store called Small Call. Its does the same thing CallBar does but for Android and it works pretty well. I downloaded it on my S3 and its the app on my phone I use the most.
Small call is OK. I have had issues with it. Also I don't think it has a quick call feature like callbar does
Hi guys,
I'm new here and have been looking around to try and get my question answered but haven't quite had any luck.
I'm made the move from iPhone to Android and absolutely loving it. I'm sure we're all aware of the MMS issue? I have a couple of questions regarding this.
1) When sending MMS's from iPhone to iPhone and iPhone to Android, the picture quality is obviously much much better. Why is this? Why the limitations? It's definitely not the carrier.
2) I'm aware of Go SMS and all those 3rd party apps, but is there a mod or "fix" to the resolve the issue? I'm currently using LiquidSmooth RC7 and love the jelly bean messages app.
Apologies for the long post!!!
Thanks

What messaging app are you using?
When i first made the move from iphone to android I was using Go sms and Hancent. Both had this problem but after switching back to the stock messaging app, havent had the problem.
Using Liquid Smooth ROM which has stock jelly bean messaging app.
I stuck my sim in my iPhone again and a friends Windows phone and MMS that are sent are way better quality. Only on Android it's shocking... just curious as to why exactly.

Hmmm that could be the reason why. Try using Stock SMS if you can. if not then I'm out of ideas.
Yeah already tried that. Still nothing. Apparently Cyanogen Mod has a settings menu where u can change the outgoing MMS size. I'm sure there's something in the code that can be changed but not sure where. Will wait for CM10 and see if that changes anything.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Need to change the compression level of the MMS i guess.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah, would be good if there was an option to set the limit. At the moment it's at like 40-60kb. Ridiculous. All other phones have a much higher size.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Yeah its a shame really. Only working solution I've seen is to tell go sms to preserve image quality and stop compression.

Actually it is the carrier, when you are sent an MMS, the carrier sends you a SMS telling you to get it.
Your phone then connects to their server and passes a user agent string. The carrier then works out what's best to give you.
If they haven't got around to adding you user agent, often they go for worst case scenario.
Some apps allow you to have a custom user agent (messaging, not web) which should help.
The other possibility is the iPhones were using iMessage instead.
+1 for iMessage. Why use other between two iDevice?

Op what country are you from mate? Regardless of what other people say it is true MMS on android is shocking so i use whatsapp it is a multi platform app and you can send 12sec vids and pictures via your data and it doesn't cost you anything extra. Only costs a few kbs of your data. You can also use kik. But i wish the mms quailty was better to be honest.
I don't see how its the carrier when the same carrier on other phones don't have an issue.

Yes.
But it still might be the carrier, since iPhone to iPhone probably doesn't send mms, but uses imessage instead. That's why there is no limitations in picture size.
I personally prefer using Line. It's free (whatsapp costs 1.99 USD a year for "server costs")
iPhone to iPhone worked even before iMessage was out. Pics that were sent were delivered in good quality.
I've found my solution for the time being. Facebook messenger has added SMS/MMS threading into its app now. Very seamless and convenient. I've tested sending MMS to phone numbers without them having a Facebook account (or not being Facebook friends) and the pics get delivered in great quality.
Thank u all for your suggestions

I don't have an issue with my ringers. I have custom ringers (mp3's), and system ringers (ogg's) and they all work and play for the duration of the rings. I have them all moved to my internal memory. Maybe that helps?
I'm currently on Paranoidkangdroid and I use to be on SOA, and FJ's with no issues either.

I am having the same problem and find it to be ROM agnostic. I have tried several different ROMS including JellyBam and Slimbean with the same problem of one ring & multiple vibrations.
The only thing I can think to try is to take the current preferred ringtone and, using an audio editor, create a new ringtone by copying the ringtone and paste it over & over (a few times) to create one longer ringtone.

I finally looped a ringtone using an audio editor. I looped it six times with 1.5 seconds silence between each ring and you cannot tell the difference between it and a properly cycling ringtone.
Would rather it worked properly, but this work around will do the trick.
First off I'd like to say im a recovering flashaholic from galaxy nexus/tbolt/nexus 7 but i've been good lately I'm happy with sense 5 in its simplicity.
but here is my issue... on all the joel based sense 5 roms(hatka, digital dream m7, stock joel port) i get screen wake on incoming messages and I can't figure how to turn it off... i do not get this behavior on newts roms(up thru 1.6, didn't try 2.0 yet)
I always do a full wipe and fresh installs from TiBackup with no system data and I can't find it in settings on messages or system setting
I hope I'm missing something stupid but I have looked everywhere and its really the only thing wrong with the roms and I like the themes

I'm running Hatka Supreme 1.1.0 and the Screen Wake on SMS was an option in the Aroma installer when you flash the ROM. I don't know how to change it after the fact...
