This is a collection of audio files from several ROMs from several phones, including:
CDMA Hero - 1.5
CDMA Hero - AOSP 2.1
CDMA Hero - Sense 2.1
Motorola Stock
Samsung Stock
There are almost 200 different sounds in this collection! Tons of variety!
Also note that this frees up some space in your /system partition! Always a good thing!
Copy the .zip posted and flash it just like any other update.zip. This will delete your current system/media/audio folders (with the exception of ui) and place the repository on your sdcard. BE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE ON YOUR SDCARD BEFORE FLASHING THIS!
Updates:
Included additional sounds from here
Created an update.zip to automagically delete current system files

There is no need to put the files in /system/
You can make a /media folder on the SD card and it works the same... *AND* the files won't get hosed with every ROM reflash.

I tried that first but then all the files show up in your Music player. I also tried putting a .nomedia file in the folder but then they didn't show up at all.
This is the only way I've found that works completely.
Dont put it in your system folder. Create a /media/audio/notifications or /media/audio/ringtones folder on your sdcard. My ringtones and notifications are seen in these folders.

I have created a collection of notifications, ringtones, alarms, and general UI sounds from every ROM that I have ever used (1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 w/ & w/o Sense) all into one folder. This gives you a huge amount of choices for ringtones, notification sounds, etc.
The .zip posted contains a folder called media. To use the sounds, unzip the attached file to your tools folder and from ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb push media /system/media/
Give it just a second (as there are quite a few of them) and when it's done copying it will tell you. Reboot once finished.
I did not do an update.zip because quite honestly it's much faster and easier to do it through ADB.

Again, the reason I put those instructions up is because when I had tried putting it on my sdcard, the files would show up in the music player.
Besides, you can use the files however you want, I'm not forcing anyone to put them into /system, that was just my recommendation.

Woops! Fixed now, thatnks for pointing that out!
system has some limited space thats why i would recommend not putting it there.

Im sorry but i tried to do it your way and you're right they don't show in the music app but i cant find them anywhere on the phone.
PS: I know how to push files and it did

You went to phone ringtone/notification ringtone and there wasn't anything there? If done correctly there should be a very long list to choose from.
Did you reboot after pushing?
Ok so after further testing, it turns out that the only files that show up in the music player are the UI sounds. So I just deleted those (since they're all the same in all the ROMs I'm pretty sure, plus no one really cares about those) and now it works just perfectly when you put in your sdcard.
I humbly admit that I was wrong This should work better now, especially for those that were worried about using up /system space.
First post edited with new directions and .zip.
awesome! Thanks so much for making this! After RMing the media files from the system I gained like 20mb's that can be utilized in running apps and such. You're the man!
I tried installing this by putting them on the sdcard, and all of the sounds show up on the list, but everyone option I chose plays the same song on my sdcard :|
Ideas?
did you RM the system files? Mine works fine.

Ya I did, and then I my phone would freeze when anything tried to notify me, and it woudn't mount my sd card :| Good thing i have a sdcard slot in my computer, i had to remove the files and rewrite them to my sdcard. Then it started working. No idea why, but its working
I merged your folder with the original media folder and rebooted but they do not show up...??
in case anyone is having trouble with this, there is a very clear post on how to do this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5936137&postcount=3236
Updated, nearly 200 sounds in this package now
Now in update.zip format, super easy!
Cool thanks... Will give it a try...
Thanks for posting this.
How do you access the hard disk/storage card from the device? I can't figure it out for the life of me.
Thanks!
you need to download an app from the market, i use ASTRO
Cool...thanks...I appreciate it.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Astro is normally the file manager of choice for Android users (non-rooted, at least).
OI file manager is another popular one, and it even adds an option in your email app so that you can attach any file.
I have both, I recommend you do the same.

I use Astro as well, but I have used Linda Manager in the past and that was pretty decent, but it's been a while since I used it.
Thanks for the feedback everyone, I hope this helps other new Android users.

Thanks I had no idea, it looks like a folder in my file browser so I couldn't be sure that was it.
astro is nice because it has a built in ftp client that supports sftp. that's my favorite part of it. just installed oi for email. pretty excited about being able attach any files now instead of only pictures
EDIT: forgot to say thanks thanks!!
And EStrongs is good if you want to do network shares (and supports samba).
It has ftp too. Not sure about secure ftp though, I havent installed Estrongs on my Incredible and never thought to try secure ftp on my Droid.

Using Astro, I cannot copy/paste/move ringtones into the media/ringtones folder on the phone's hard disk....has anyone noticed this? Is there another program that will allow you to do this?

On the sdcard or the emmc folder?
I have no problem with either. I just used Astro and went into the emmc folder and created a "ringtones" folder and copied and pasted one of my ringtones into it.
Where exactly are you copying from and pasting to? If you put the ringtones into a folder on the emmc or sdcard the phone will see them.
Ringtones go in a folder called "ringtones", notifications in "notifications" and alarms in "alarms". That's all you need to do to get them to show in the list of available sounds.
Thanks for responding….my ringtones are on my SD card…I'm was trying to copy/paste or move the ringtones from there into the system/media/audio/ringtones directory.
Ah-ha, I see… you can't move the files directly from your SD card to the system directory, you have to place the ringtones in the emmc directory first….well, that's different…I'm used to Win Mo….love Total Commander…..
Ok, really..I'm not a dunce…I was able to move the files from my sd card to the emmc folder, but I cannot move to the ringtones directory from the path listed above…. :-?

There is no reason or need to put them on the "system". I suspect we need to root to do that. But the phone will use your ringtones whether they are in the system folder, the sdcard, or the emmc. It is the name of the folder that matters. Just name them like I mentioned and they'll show up in all the right places.
On my Incredible, I can only select the default ringtones from the system/media/audio/ringtones directory. The device will not recognize ringtones from anywhere else when trying to assign ringtones for my contacts, or for the device in general.... so as is, I can only select the default ringtones, or buy new ones....ha,ha...yeah, right....I'll send the device back first....

Either you are doing something wrong or your phone is broken. Or maybe you are using a bad/incompatible file for a ringtone?
Do this for me.
Create a folder on your sdcard called "ringtones". Put it on the root of your sdcard and name it EXACTLY like that (without the quotes, of course). Place your mp3 ringtone in there. It will then show up as an option for your phone's main ringtone. Use a known good ringtone if you are having issues.
Now, that ringtone will not show up for notifications or alarms. You have to also create a folder called "alarms" and "notifications" and put the ringtones in there as well.
This works 100% for me and my Incredible (it was the same on the Droid and Devour as well - those are the only Android devices I have so far).
Ok, renaming the folder to "Ringtones" worked. Like I said, I'm not a dunce or new to PPC/smartphones...however, I am new to Android....with WM you don't have to jump through these hoops just to get the device to recognize the sound files, or to move files from one directory to another. Thanks for your help again, I hope this helps other new Droid users!
I flashed nonsensikal 8.2 to my Eris and attempted to load my apps back. I have one called vRecorder, which contrary to popular opinion, worked great for recording phone calls. However, when I attempted to reload it I found it is unavailable and no longer supported. After trying several other call recorders, all failures, I'm left with trying to install my old one. The problem is, it isn't a .apk file, it's a .zip file. I originally downloaded this off the market, but since then the developer has packed up his bags and I can't get in touch with them. The .zip file located in the /data/app folder contains the following files:
AndroidManifest.xml
res (folder which contains four more folders all of which contain image and xml files)
resources.arsc
Since I cannot back this up using Astro and it's a zip format, is there any way to either convert it to .apk or flash it like a rom? I tried simply renaming it to apk and it acted like it installed, but gave me the message saying 'application not installed' when it completed. Any help would be appreciated.

Try resigning it. You can find out how to do that in the Eris roll up thread
rename it back to zip... pull it to your computer... then adb install -r appname.zip
Actually just rename it to a .apk

I already tried renaming it and installing it that way but after I ran it, it went through the install process and ended with the message "Application not installed." I will try what vinylfreak89 suggested by installing SDK on my pc and trying the adb install. I'm also trying to find how to resign in the rollup thread. I'll let you know how it goes.
Are you sure the program didn't download to the phone's DATA/APP folder as a ZIP as well as an APK in DATA/APP-PRIVATE?
I am having the same problem re-installing with a 'protected' Market program.
My app-private folder is empty (using Root Explorer). However, I found a call recorder that seems to be working for me. It's called rVoix and can be found in thread 806451 in this forum.
My Eris has been rooted and I'm using nonsensikal 8.2 black rom (I highly recommend this rom, it's awesome).
Did you nandroid before you flashed the new rom? If so, restore the old rom, use titanium to back up the app, nandroid back to the current rom, and restore the app.

I can't view any online flash videos either. But when I try the browser just completely shuts down. No force close message just shutdown. Core cell Rom
@ kev
You need to download an older version of flash and install it or download the newest version off the marketplace and install it, search and you'll find em.
@n33dy
Never encountered your problem before. As in the screen is blank as if it was in standby? Or does it keep on one particular frame of the video and not move, but sound keeps playing, and the device doesn't respond?
If it's the latter, it is that you've run out of RAM and need to free it up by either closing some apps, or you can soft reset your device.
Or you could just try a different rom and maybe you won't have the problem anymore.
yes make sure you have adobe flash player installed from the android market!

how did you get it working
I copied the system files into my root system folder... makesure superuser is granted to root explorer.
Step by step,
Open root explorer
Find your downloaded files and copy the files from the 'lib' folder.
goto your root folders and open the lib folder which is inside the system folder.
Paste the files there, this will replace the existing files.
Now go back to your downloaded files and copy the one form the etc folder.
Go back to root, system open etc and then paste that 1 file.
Reboot and it should be running now.

Try an application like RingDroid.

You just need to create a folder on your sd card called "media". The create a folder inside this called "ringtones".
Then put your custom ringtones in there and reboot. Now they will show in the ringtones list...no need to install any other app or copy the files each time you flash a new ROM.
Same thing for notifications, just add a "notifications" folder inside the media folder.

Hi.
I have not done any googlings, but just created three folders, ringtones, notifications and alarms in media folder and this is perfectly working. Each ringtone in every folder corresponds ringtones lists in settings. I did not even rebooted my phone.
I tried a while ago to get my custom rigtones and notifications to show up and play, to no avail, until I saw "The_Scotsman" post, I used an app called Rings Extended. It worked well but as of yesterday I have uninstalled it. I am running Gingerbread, CM7, ver. 2.3.7. Thanks goes out to the community and a special thanks to "The Scotsman"
