Hi all,
I've been checking this forum for a week or so now and the only thing I cant seem to find info on is...
What benefits do you get if you upgrade your Magician to the latest rom?
Does it get rid of the camera speckles and snow? Or do I still need to download that camera fix?
Does it enable me to use MP3s as ringtones? Or do I again need to download another file?
What other features do I get from upgrading? If any?
Thanks for your time.
Mr. E you can use MP3 as ringtones on all ROMS even if you have the very oldest, 1.01. Just copy the Mp3 file to the /Windows/Rings folder.
I did that but it didnt do anything. Is there some sort of special way of selecting the file for a ringtone?
Easy way to set mp3 as ringtone:

By the way, if you have no issues with your existing rom and you're happy with all aspects of your phone and it's running stable, then don't bother upgrading.
Sweet that looks like what I need.
As for the camera... I guess just download the camera fix.
From what your saying Jimmy-bish the rom updates dont give you anything worthwhile then?
If you have 1.11 or earlier rom, U may encounter the famous "bluetooth not found" problem. Is it worthwhile enough? :twisted:
Yeah, sometimes it comes down to the individual phone. Heaps of people complained about that bluetooth and GPRS issue with 1.11 rom. I had it once, so I kept the same rom as I had no problems with that and just upgraded the radio to 1.13. Problem solved.
If you notice bugs or errors on your phone, search the forums and if everyone says it's the rom version that's causing the problem then upgrade. If you aren't experiencing any problems and can't be bothered upgrading all the time, you aren't missing too much. Most of the time it's just bug fixes and slight improvements, which can often be found through the forum without having to upgrade (camera patches and improvements, extended rom applications etc).

Install the snowfix file and this will change all the relevant setting to do away with the speckles etc. Can't remember where I found this so can't give authors name.

I did download the new camera from here... not the snowfix. The camera didnt seem to change anything tho, so im guess I need this snowfix too?
Problem with me is that I always want to have the latest update... so more than likely I will install the new update onto my Magician anyways...
I put that MP3 ringtone fix on, thanks heaps for that. Is there anyway of using a MP3 when you get a SMS?
Snowfix is just a case of turning down sharpness and saturation etc, i think.

Question, anyone know how to make the MP3 ringtones louder? With my phone volume right up its still kinda quiet, if I play it through the Media Player it sounds at the same volume until I turn the media player volume up to 100%... thats about how loud I would like it.
Is it possible without having to up the volume on a PC based app?

That is exactly what it is, but its still better then the standard camera settings.
Does that phone alarm allow you to use MP3s as your SMS tone?
Mr E, yes it does!
Now I have seen somewhere, that someone had the same problem as I am having and that was the SD card is coming up as 128mg but its actually 256mg... someone had some sort of format program for the SD card... anyone have that? As my PC wants to format it as 128 when it clearly says on the card that its 256...
btw: you can use mp3 as rings without any other prog. just associate mp3-files with mediaplayer, copy desired file to windows/rings and choose it in the normal ringtone dialog. the built in volume slider (telephone one, not loudspeaker one) works for me, too.
So i was wonderin what you guys use to make your own ringtones. I used to use motorola phone tools for my old phone but now im beyond that.
so what do you guys use?
thanx! much love

I used Audacity(at first) because I can trim any song in my existing library and still change the pitch and bitrate to make it louder. I hardly use custom ringtones now, but I tried the MP3 Trimmer .cab and that worked great.
ok i actually found a decent program to use but now my problem is that the volume that comes out of the phone is so low you can barely even hear it. any suggestions as to how to fix that?
Though I didn't make them from scratch, I "embraced and extended" some existing tones. Check the notifications section on my site which is in my sig.
which one performs the best, im currently running the leaked ROM but i wanted to try out the newest 5.11.502 ROM, but i heard some people dont like it at all even with the Ringtone limit, and is the radio better than the one on the leaked ROM? plz help me out here, i dont wanna start over and configuring everything again. thnx
the ringtone limit is changeable. try browsing around on this forum, I believe I left the specific location of the key change.
apart from that, my experience witht he official rom is that my gps is lighting fast, and my battery life is freaking amazing. I am having issues with the sms and mms not being marked as read when I reply to someone.. i have to manually click through them.. that's my main concern. that and it's somehow incompatible with my most favorite theme... showaco's bbextreme 4.0

And I posted a fix for that in the ROM thread. There's also the cab in there for the no Ringtone Limit. I'll see if I can gather them into this post.
EDIT:
DKNoRingtoneLimit.cab
T-Back SMS Unread Fix.cab
in terms of the no ringtone limit, i figured i just have to go in and do the adjusting myself rather than have a cab since i probably wont uninstall it at all....
also the unread cab.. what did you do exactley? was it a htmlnote.dll change?

That's exactly what I did. I took the htmlnote.dll from the original stock AT&T ROM, and cabbed it up.
Also, as far as the ringtone thing, all you have to do is delete the reg key, and then, no limit
haha, fair enough, I never thought of deleting the actual key....
I'm going to have to back up my stuff this time... before i do the htmlnote change... I had to hard reset last time QQ
hey, i am new to these kind of fixes could you be a little more specific about how to use these things?
I see a lot of threads with the .eml issue on forwarding and opening but no solution. Is there A real fix for this issue that when your forward a email it puts it as a .eml and then can open it. Or if some one forwards it to you. it seems like this would be a no brainer for Google to fix or knows thats that a big issue. Unless they cant because of Microsoft.
Thanks if this is answer some where else with a real fix other than with the reply work around I apologize.
Im rooted with Captivate running 2.1 with ota.I also have root manager and sqlight and clock. few other rooted features but nothing i would see causing a issue
Hello, i am new to these forums so i hope i am not going to tick anyone off with this question. I have a rooted dinc2 running gb miui 112090. i love the rom and everything works great other than one thing. Whenever i get an audio mms, the audio wont play. I have searched these threads and have had no luck finding any answers to this problem. I have also flashed the latest cm10 JB rom and run into the same problem on that rom. I have tried saving the attachment and playing it that way doesnt work either. The message i am refering to is a qcp. file. when i click it i get a white screen and when i touch the screen i see the filw is playing but theres no sound. i have turned the volume up to and still nothing. i sent the message to a friend, and had her send it back to me, and now it ask me what app id like to use to play the file. if i chose winamp it says my phone cannot play this type of file. If i choose the miui music player it just starts and stop instantly.
I apologize for how long my question is, i just wanted to provide as much info as possible. I'm not that worried about this because i dont get many mms's but its just annoying when i do and i like things to work lol.
Sir please post questions in the Q&A section. Moved....Thank you.
