So I'm confused as to what's different from this and my G1 with 1.6. I have synced my contacts and when I go to contacts from the home screen I see them all (with the little g next to them), but when I try to assign a ringtone to an individual contact as I did on my G1, it takes me to an empty contact list with no option to see my contacts. What's going on? Already getting tired of ToughWhiz getting in the way of my Android experience.

Niceee....of all the things I had trouble on it was this... I feel dumb lol

Doesn't work from google contacts. To assign ringtones to fiddler contacts I'm using Ringdriod. Anyone else has any solutions for google contacts?

Ringo Lite. It's a PITA to have to install a separate app but it works perfectly.

Awesome thanx

Message History Screen

Hey guys ..I just noticed that there is a History of all my texts and there is no way to delete or clear this. Im not talking about the regular text message screen Im talking about the "history" screen.
Does anyone know how to remove this information?

Whaere is the history part? I just checked mine and don't see any history?

Wtf is this?
There has to be a way to delete this
Thanks for the heads up

None. At all. At least none i can see. I use launcher pro so i just hid my contacts but that still doesn't take care of the fact that its there. If you delete the contact then add it again it works but that a TON of trouble!
Please, if anyone knows anyway at all to get rid of this, even the entire screen as opposed to just the info, lemme know! What a PITA.

Quick google search on this and apparently motorola and verizon are swamped with complaints about not being able to delete the history. Supposedly will be addressed with a software update? No ETA though...

I think I remember reading that Google got some bad press over this .. another one of those Privacy Faux Pas' like Buzz.
Not sure if there is a way to clear it ... I took a quick look and didn't see anything obvious.

holy! watch what you say and send to others... lol

Bump to keep this at the top. Would love a fix!
I have figured out that if the contact isn't linked then it doesn't seem to show up...... could be totally wrong tho.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

So at some point wont this be a massive amount of information stored on the phone?

I think it's only for a certain period of time or a certain number of contacts.

I think moto is aware of this issue and it'll be patched up on the next ota update.

I doubt the memory footprint is significant. There are a number of system information apps/gadgets that will show you how much free storage you have, or just check it out in the settings.
The bigger concern is for privacy issues. IMHO

I agree about privacy. How are u supposed to have a girlfriend and then other girls on the side with this? Come on moto think about us unfaithful lying cheaters out here!!!how am i supposed to keep my girlfriend from knowin about all my infidelities? Lol. As the heartbreak kid i must have privacy!!!
Edit:for those who don't know this is a sarcastic statement. Haha

Car alarm lock sounds

Hi I was trying to get the lock and unlock car alarm sounds for my lock, I tried to replace the files but no luck anyone have this?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Use Root Explorer for this, make sure the files that you are using are in .ogg format and named Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg. Go to system/media/audio/ui. Replace the ones there with the ones you want and thats it.

Kool idea!

Host the files! DO WANT!! Just another touch of awesomeness to shove in my iphone friends' faces!

I got this from my friends iPhone lol but yes I already did what you said, but the .ogg wouldn't read

What do you mean? You made sure they were named Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg?

Yeah I did, and they didn't work, my phone just went crazy with my ring tone and damn thing wouldn't stop until I replaced with the original sound
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yeah you need to convert them to .ogg format. Just renaming the file wont work. I use wave pad on the pc or tapemachine on your phone.

I spent ages with the same problem... Make sure you rename, not remove, the old Lock and Unlock files. The first time I had a frustrating experience when I removed both files and my phone would play a ringtone on each lock and unlock. I found out after using audacity/ that the program I was using before didn't convert it to the right .ogg format. If anyone wants the files I have them on my computer. As cool as it was when I first did it the sounds were a bit too loud and became VERY annoying at night so my files are pretty quiet but still there. Using the program linked about you can adjust the gain to your preference.

Nice well I flashed cm 7 so I kinda gave up on it

[Q] Notification Sounds

Does anyone know of a good source for notification sounds and alarm sounds? The one's preloaded on CM7 are very limited.

You shoud try and download Zedge application. From android market.

I just ended up ripping into a HTC rom and using the HTC ones. There's a reasonable selection of inoffensive ones in there.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

@raidsams - Given Zedge ago but notifications sounds are limited. There appears to be a lot but the majority are duplicated many times over.
@nitens - That's an idea. You don't feel like adding them for dl do you?

Soundify
Check out soundify!

Dude... now that'd be illegal and possibly against some xda by-law. Seriously though they are probably only a Google away if you don't want to open the HTC rom yourself.

How to use custom SMS sounds?

With stock app that is, how can I put my own custom sound instead of Google's selection?
If it can't be done then what SMS app do I need?

Put the music file you'd like to use in your notifications folder.
It should show up when you look through the collection of notification sounds.

Or have a folder called "audio" then inside desperate folders of "Ringtones" and "Notifications" folder. I'm use to doing this from other phones.

Desperate and Seperate, you know. they rhyme.

In your internal storage, put them in /media/audio/notifications/
Then they will appear in the list with the stock sounds

/media/audio/xxx is the pre-ICS way of doing it.
Now you have the Notifications, Ringtones, Alarms folders on the root of your MTP storage.
Some apps still create the old folder structure if it's missing, though (I'm looking at you, Facebook *shakes fist*)

Haha I had no idea it had changed, always done it that way since 1.5 on the HTC hero
Sent from my EndeavorU using xda app-developers app

I use the instructions above for random odds-and-ends sounds I want to use, but Zedge for searching and finding a bunch of others. I have the "Tory and Abed in the Morning" jingle for my text sound.

If your to lazy for that, download Ringdroid from the market and it will do it for you.
