ADB help

Hello,
Start off by apologizing if this is somewhere and I missed it, I have searched and searched.
I was able to flash a new bootscreen the otherday no problem. I have found another that I would like to push to my phone, but when I attempt it I get the ADB error that my device is full....
I followed a "delete bootanimation.zip" process and get an error that no file(extension) exists.
I looked at the dir and see that it(/system/media) is 94% taken, which would explain why I get the error message.
I am looking for a way to free up/delete/erase the /system/media/audio/ringtones since I don't use them at all and that is a big chunk, 47 files.
Is there a way to do so or to move em atleast so I can free up that space.
When trying to do it with my file explorer I get the error that I don't have permission....lol
Please help I wants to put new stuffs on mah phone!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks alot for the info. Worked like a charm.
You wouldn't by chance know how to remove the "office phone" sound when I boot up would you. In CM5.0.8 and when ever I shut down or restart I get that ringing sound, I'd like to replace it. Any ideas?
TY

Bootup/down tone
____________________________________________________________________
After some research and a good recommendation from Firerat @Cyanogenmod forums, I was able to do it. The ring I was hearing was a SD card notification. Turns out if you really want to you can put whatever sound, song, byte, etc. you want in there you just have to do a little converting.
This is how I did it.
1. Downloaded this: FlicFlac
2. Install, like 5 secs
3. Open FlicFlac, select convert to OGG
4. click on the big box that says select file
5. Pick ur MP3 or whatever audio file it is, and...BAM! u have conversion
Now I used Android Commander to place the file in the directory, /system/media/audio/notifications
You can prolly ADB push that as well.
Reboot and there you have it. New "boot sound" lol. (of course you need to go into notification sounds ((Settings > Sound & Display > Notification Ringtone)) and select your newly created .ogg file for it to work)
Hope you like.

Re-installing the Gallery and Odex for it

Ok, made a slight error on my end. I was having gallery issues and clearing the cache did nothing. I moved some files via Root Explorer instead of thru the gallery so the thumbnails are messed or whatever. Tried clearing the cache no dice. Tried to force it to rescan files, no dice. Said, ok i have solved this before by removing the gallery, and re installing it. So i copied the MediaGallery.apk file to my SD card and used Titanium Backup to uninstall the gallery.
Now i can't re install it. It keeps failing the reinstall. I have tried doing it from the SD card with Root Explorer, i have tried copying it to the /system/app/ folder and still no dice. Still fails install. Have it set to RW, nothing.
How do i go about re installing this app and the odex for it? I was stupid and didn't copy the odex. Yes i know, stupid. I have re-installed it before. I don't think i did anything different. I even changed all it's permissions to everything can be done(checked everything off), just in case it was that. Still nothing
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Yes i know i did somehting very dumb, feel free to remind me, but only if you can offer some sound advice first.

Why don't you just try the 3d gallery?

my only issue there is what happens when an OS or software update comes up? I would brick my phone because i lost a critical file that is needed for the update. Not a good thing.
I think i might just use Titanium backup to backup all my apps and such, make sure all my normal app settings are backed up too, then just do a factory reset. I read elsewhere that the reset would put the gallery back, in some other thread, i just am worried about how long it would take to put everything back the way it was. I will keep dicking around today trying to get it to install and if i can't figure it out by the time i wake up tonight (work third shift) then i will just wipe and reload.

Flash this, kind sir.

One...You are awesome. Thank you very much.
two...how do i "flash" it? Just install the APK or do i need to move the META-INF files too? Or do i just execute the zip file in something like Root Explorer?
Sorry, never done OS flashes either.

You have to use the "Install zip from SD card" option in ClockworkMod Recovery.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

In case that wasn't clear enough...
You can either download "Droid X Bootstrap" from the market (It's like $2, I think)
Or you can download "Rom Manager" (the free version works).
If you downloaded Droid X Bootstrap...
Open it up and click "Bootstrap Recovery"
When an "ok" dialog pops up...click "Reboot Recovery."
You'll now be in Clockwork.
_____________________
If you download "Rom Manager" there will be an option to install bootstrap.
Simply do that...
Power your phone off...
And hold the VolumeDown+Power buttons until you boot into clockwork.
______________________
From clockwork:
Choose install zip.
Choose zip from sdcard.
Find the .zip
Click yes.
Click Reboot.

Awesome, thank you all very much. I already had the bootstrapper program and ROM manager, i wanted to get into flashing ROMs but never got around to it. LOL
Just flashed it and it doesn't show in the app drawer, but i can find it in /system/apps/ with the proper app permissions. But still no dice on the app drawer. I Rebooted twice more and reinstalled it each time, with no success. It has no Odex file with it in the /system/app/ directory. Should it?
Thank you all again very much for your help

Thank you SOOOO Much.
Got the gallery to show up, occasionally. LOL Every other reset it dissappears, but if i reboot again, it reappears. Neither the original or 3d work, still won't see any files on the SD Card. Whatever, i got it to show, can worry about using stock gallery later. Everything else can read it fine. Still need to figure out how to get it to stick permanently so i don't lose every other reboot. Never had this happen. I can even check titanium backup and it wont be listed in the apps installed on times it isn't in the app drawer. But the times it is in the app drawer i can find it in active apps in titanium backup...

I messed up my stock Music app, needing some stock files.

I installed a Walkman port that turned out to be nonfunctional, and since I was stupid and didn't make a backup before, I had to remove it manually, but I must have deleted something that was related to the Music app, because now it crashes when I try to open it. Can someone be nice enough to extract some files from the stock kitkat rom the following folders so I can check out which files I'm missing?
The stuff that I must have accidentally deleted was in one of the following folders:
system/etc/permissions
system/etc/surround_sound
sustem/framerwork (something with "sony" in the filename)
system/lib
system/soundfx
Alternatively I'd like to know if there is any way to extract these folders from the odin flashable firmware file I downloaded so I can restore these folders without having to reflash everything. There is a system.ext4 in the tar file but I can't seem to find a way to open it.
And finally, is there some way to troubleshoot what's making the app crash? It's probably missing a file, is there some way to tell which one?
Reflashing the firmware is a last resort because I already customized a lot on this phone and I don't feel like doing all of that again.
Update: I half-fixed it by deleting Dalvik Cache a few times. Now the app works but I don't see the notification with music controls anymore. Instead there's a notification that says "Music is running. Tap for more info or to stop the app", and if I tap it it brings me to the app info screen where I can force stop, clear data, etc. Also I click "play" and the music doesn't play anymore, it stays stuck at 00:00.
What's up with that?

[Q] AllianceRom Build1.1 Theme's GONE! :( and phone doesn't reboot properly

Out of nowhere yesterday, my alliancerom themes disappeared, when i go into alliance manager to go to the themes all of the zip files are gone and i dont know where they went, i ended up doing a clean install of alliancerom build 1.1 and they still aren't there?! help! thanks much at this point i'm not sure what to do next. Second issue, when i go to reboot my phone it doesn't power off completely. the phone shuts down but the buttons stay lit and it doesn't completely power off, tried reinstalling the rom, and on a different rom-slot and nothing has fixed it. Not sure exactly what this means honestly.

Did you install on stock slot? If not that's one of your problems.
http://bit.ly/1brshoa

Fail
Yes i have. And it doesn't do any good. I've moved the stock rom on and off the stock slot it didnt fix it.

ok, use es file explorer or the default one to find the alliance folder, change the name from alliance to whatever you wish ( i named it allianceno lol) exit out so the new name is applied, then open the alliance manager go to choose theme, and voila the theme zip files have re-extracted and appear.

Notification sound in default calendar problem

Hello,
System: 4.4.2, root, Samsung Note 3
Problem: Default Calendar App notification sounds is too soft.
I searched 4 forums and tens of posts but I could not find an answer that solved my problem, for one reason or another.
I downloaded a good mp3 continuous and loud "beep beep" sound into #/system/media/audio/notifications but I cannot see it under any one of the 3 notification sounds lists that I can access from Calendar App > Settings > Select Ring Tone.
In that menu I see 3 lists:
- Go SMS Pro,
- Zedge,
- Media Storage
Sounds from the first 2 cannot be applied and whatever I select from those 2 lists will revert to the default "On Time" sound from the 3rd list. In the 3rd list I cannot see the custom "Beep Beep" mp3.
I need a really loud and repetitive sound to remind me of events. Please help me! I thank in advance for sharing your time and expertise.

Thanks for trying to help me but I already have a file manager (fx file manager with root access and read/write permissions) and that's how I managed to move my custom tone into the #/system/media/audio/notifications folder.
But, maybe, fx is not a good file manager and I need to install and use ES? Or am I missing something? Wrong folder? Something else?
Please help.

While using ES, you can select tone from any folder.
I directly choose from my Downloads folder

Rename the "Beep beep" sound to "On time" (or whatever the original name is), replace the original one, set the right permissions, reboot.

Sorry, but I do not understand what you are suggesting because I wrote that I already can do that so I don't get what you are suggesting. Apologies for asking but, please, can you be more clear?
I already CAN choose tones from any folders with fx. My problem is not moving tones into folders but:
a) to which directory should I move the tones to???
b) at the moment I only know of this:
#/system/media/audio/notifications folder.
c) I have already moved the custom tone in this folder - as I wrote in the OP - but I cannot see it from my Apk settings menu.
Anyway, since you insist with ES, I decided to install ES. Then I did EXACTLY the same thing that I already did with fx: I moved my custom tone in the:
#/system/media/audio/notifications folder
Since there was already one copy of that custom tone I made a second copy.
... but I still cannot see the tone from my Apk settings menu!
Can you please guide me step by step as I cannot understand your help.
