Is there any way to set things up so that for an incoming call the cruise uses a random mp3 or other format ringtone from a folder?
Thanks

Honestly, that sounds truly strange, both litteraly and by figure of speech...
and by that you mean...???
It's unusual, but I think unusual is good. I like it (assuming I've understood it correctly).
I assume the idea is to have a folder with various MP3s in it so that when a call comes in you don't always get the same old ring tone but you get a randomly selected one from the choices in the folder. Is this correct?
The above only seems to be practical (in a human sense) if you have few enough MP3s so that you will recognise the sound each time as one of your random ringtones, it would be a bit strange if you had so many ringtones that you couldn't recognise all of them as being your phone ringing (wouldn't it?).
Out of interest, how many MP3s are you thinking of having in the collection and will they be mostly music clips or other stuff?

P.S. Sorry - I have no idea how you would do this.
yes exactly... got a bunch of self-made loops (like 15 or so) and would be real nice if i could listen to a different tune every time my celly rings...
And about concerns, i couldnt recognize if its my phone that rings: What you guys do? Stack dozens of phones? I know where my cruise is, and if some sound type of thing comes from that direction, I just know: Hey, its either spontaneous creation of sound from nothing, or my phone rings...

Interesting. I think you must have much better directional hearing than me. When my phone rings, even with just one ringtone set, I'm usually not sure if it is mine or someone else's. I do keep it in my trouser pocket though so not very close to my ears and I live in the city so I usually have quite a few other people within a few metres of me, especially when I'm on a train or in a bar or something. It's usually the vibrate part of the ringing that gets my attention before the ringtone does. I'd actually do better with your idea, 15 ringtones unique to me would be better than one that isn't very unique to me.

Just what I mean, what's the use of multiple ringtones, you have to recognize your own when in public areas, and fast, as most people start finding ringtones annyoing...

Well, you can assign different MP3 ringtones for each of your contact.
Have you noticed the extremely low volume of the G1 speaker. i can bearly hear the audio whever i play mp3 or video files. Even the phone ringing is relatevly low compared to any phone i have ever owened!!!
Is there a way to alter the hardware setting and get higher volume out the speaker???
Seems fine to me, doesnt seem too low, mayb its the mp3 ur using. I raise the volume of my files with itunes, but even the default sounds on the G1 seem fine.

Yeah, adjust music/video volume using the keys on the side of the phone while playing a song.
I'm sure you already did that so.... there's a program called volume control that let's you adjust every volume setting the phone offers. Also, my speaker has never been that loud anyways but that program helps a bit.
Any one of you guys know where i can but a new speaker phone peace/thing for the G1. I blew mines out with the volume hack. -.- Thanks in advance.
I've noticed the low volume on Cyanogen's ROM, but on every hero ROM I've tried it seems MUCH louder.
I've noticed it too, but I've always used Meltus' AudioHack app to correct that problem.
The only thing I noticed on the G1 that is weak would be the vibrate. That is pretty weak.
My phone started doing this before donut was out. I was using Xrom, and thought it was the rom causing it. I'm running Dwang 1.13 now, and discovered that my issue is being caused by T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail apk. The speaker would work great until I opened VV. The VV apk, routes the media sounds through the headset speaker, like when holding the phone to your ear in a phone call, but it doesn't always re-route the media sounds (and ringer for that matter) back to the loud speaker. There is a hack/apk/widget out to fix it, claiming it to be a cupcake issue, but I only had it happened to me after using VV.
To figure out if you have the same issue, block the loud speaker with your finger and play a song. If it gets louder when you remove your finger from covering the loud speaker, then you have a different issue. If it stays the same volume, block and unblock the headset speaker to see if it changes.
MT3G Fix

If you are running MT3G/Magic You can also try this on the G1 to see if you get better sound
CM's system usually doesn't add the MT3G Sound XML
Download and run this: http://drop.io/tfwtv3d/asset/volmt3g-signed-zip
If this doesn't help, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517745
i had this more then one , dont know for sure bit this is after i did a switchrom, a simple reboot is a fix

I always cup my hand under the phone when watching videos, it boosts the volume a bit

This problem is really annoying, can someone post a link to the fix for me, I haven't been able to find it.
This also happend to my phone. Started with the last stable before the whole google thing with cyan. Tried a hero rom and it was pounden out sound.
So if anyone does have any insight on how to fix this, with reasoning, that would be nice. No "i did this and reset and it just worked" stuff.
Thanks
Also wish my G1 would be louder when a phonecall came in. My older HTC Juno was extremely loud which I prefer because Im not where my phone is 100 percent of the time.
I would also greatly appreciate some insight on how to make the speaker louder with some tweaks and or apps.
Thanks in advance.

Use Meltus' audio hack, it makes the phone really loud. I suggest using g7-6r2
Aye, that should do it
Also, for people experiencing routing problems, my files might also fix that too.
The G7 files included fixes so that they would run on the Cupcake/Donut/Hero/Sapphire. It might fix it, i'm not promising anything though

+1 If your G1 is quiet download Audio Hack from the market and it will not be quiet anymore. People tell me all the time, "dude your phone is ridiculously loud". I love it..
Meltus' app is amazing, i used to hate when i went to show everyone a video from youtube and you cant hear nothing when your out in public. Def recommend it to anyone who thinks their speaker is low.
Meltus Audio Hack.
Your welcome.
My G1 speaker is terrible!
The other end hears constant echo, and it's very soft for me to hear anything.
So I'm wondering to myself (having used other phones like the Captivate)
While on a call, the actual call quality is fine. When you are setting other tunes on the phone though, such as system sounds or text messaging noises, they aren't there (this happened to me on stock before I flashed anything). Also, the sound would play really loud through the ear speaker piece on the phone, rather than the speaker on the back of the phone.
They have output all system sounds to the speaker, right? And the sound doesn't sound low quality, but...
Maybe I'm confusing everything, I realize the "sound fixes" people post do fix the sound quality, but what about the sound output (ability to ouput more than one type of sound like I described above)
Or is there no way to really design this the way I described?
Well, i know a lot has been said about the sound quality, but i have to say it again.
I put an mp3 song and made it a ringtone and it sounds like crap..its muffled, it sounds very low and its just not clear and crisp as if i hear it on my PC. I did it with lots of other mp3's just to verify it and all of them sounds like crap when the phone rings.
The thing is that the built in ringtones the phone has, sounds crisp and clear...
why is the difference?
anyone knows the reason it is different?
Is it possible to make a ringtone (like the buzzer alarm) that gets progressively louder? The idea behind this would be, that people wouldn't have to install third party alarm apps that have this function, yet not be woken up violently every morning.
Couldn't someone just do with any audio-editing program ? I mean, I've changed the volume of whole songs before - had one that would always played much louder than the others so I went in and edited it. Seems like you could do that with any song and just make it louder and louder.
I don't know about the alarm apps - I have never used one. If they let you use any tone you want, it seems like it makes it easier for people to use their favourite sound or song without having to edit or learn how to edit each file individually - and to switch quickly without having to do that all over again.
Personally, I just picked a song I like that starts off gently and gets louder on its own. I know some people need more "annoying" or "harsh" sounds to wake up - to the point of multiple alarms, but I guess I'm glad that I don't need to hear something positively painful in the morning.
