To if see your "factory" ringtones are still there check the /system/media/audio/notifications/ directory. But as for your custom ones they got wiped off your sd when you partitioned it.
adb remount
adb shell
$su (**if needed)
# cd system/media/audio/notifications (or /ringtones)
# ls
hows that qoute go? a2sd demanded my wallet before stealing my girlfriend...? all ive heard is complaints about the new a2sd
If you have sounds in /sdcard/media/audio or /system/media/audio then restart and check again. If it's still empty, wait a couple of minutes. They will suddenly appear.
If they still don't appear, try moving one sound into /system/media/audio/ringtones and reboot again. When they all show up, you can leave the one sound in system memory or move it back.
This frustrated me for hours last night!

Most of the people complaining don't know much about a2sd or partitioning. That, and I'm thinking some of them also are creating an ext4 partition, whicn A2SD 2.5 doesn't recognize.
I'm working on another version that will recognize ext4 as well as attempt to be smarter.

This has nothing to do with A2SD (on any version, including mine)...A2SD doesn't touch /system/media. Could it be the ROM?

This problem didn't exist before installing A2SD 2.5. I was using A2SD 2.0 previously with my sounds moved to the memory card and had no problems.

I think this guy knows what A2SD does and doesn't do considering he rebuilt it to 2.5.
Did u check the system/media/audio/ directories?

Nobody said it does touch those files. I'm suspecting a slowdown in reading/changing the cache file(s) used to maintain these lists.
Having been a programmer for 30 years, I know that it's not uncommon to get unplanned and unusual side effects that don't seem related to the code. Just because I wrote it, doesn't mean I know how everything that someone else wrote is going to react to my code.
yeah my bad, i've been an ass lately on here. try clearing ur caches then and even the dalvik, i had a prob with things not showing up b4 and that helped me

I think I got a little too defensive on it. You're right, each environment is different.
I think you may be onto something. The difference between 2.0 and 2.5 is the moving of the dalvik-cache. DamageControl uses the 2.0 version.
On 2.5, if he executes the following command on his phone: /system/bin/a2sd nocache, it will put the dalvik-cache back on internal memory.
I tested the program using a Class 6 card...not sure how the dalvik-cache reacts with, say, a Class 2 card. The write speed may be too slow to keep up.
Well....
/system/media has nothing but the bootscreen folder in it, and everything that was on my SD card prior to partitioning was put back on there. I really didn't have but a few songs for ringtones that I used ring tone trimmer (HTC). I was content with the "factory" ring tones.
Anybody feel like pulling the HTC ring tones and zipping them up? I'd appreciate it. A helluva lot easier than nandroiding back and forth some old ROM.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Here you go:
http://www.darktremor.com/upload/htcmedia.zip
1. Unzip the contents to a folder
2. Open a command prompt or a terminal session. Navigate to the directory you extracted the contents of the zip
3. In the folder, remount the filesystem to read-write mode by typing adb remount
4. Create an audio file by typing adb shell "mkdir /system/media/audio"
5. Change the permissions of the folder by typing adb shell "chmod 777 /system/media/audio"
6. Push the files to the phone by typing adb push . /system/media/audio
Hopefully, that's it.
If you need help, let me know.
thanks. I pushed them and everythings back to normal.
Just for ****s and giggles... I re-flashed and installed A2SD and it did it again... dont know why but it deleted the /system/media/audio folder. Very strange.

This is running great... the existing apps were transfered to sd but now it tells me insufficient memory... any ideas.
how can i change that lock screen to default from v1?
beta 2 full running better than any hero build ive used so far especially after apps2sd, im not sure if its just me, but am i the only one getting "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly." whenever clicking on a facebook synced contact's photos? i know i keep asking this on threads but no one seems to answer me except the one person before who said it worked fine for them on a hero build...

My keyboard isnt showing up in full version
Not sure which I downloaded earlier when first released today, but I had 7mb left, which makes it a hog to run (not a fan of apps2sd, sd is just as slow).
We need to make a list of files with dependencies and which dont have any. I deleted about 15 or 16 files and had no problems yet, with 20mb free. I would like to delete more but some have wierd names so I dont know if they are requried by other files.
(IE. GoogleTalkService, I thought worked with the talk app. Nope, dont delete. I also read the IM.apk cannot be deleted because its required by gnabb or something?)

its gonna say either force close or wait just choose wait and everything should work fine
Anyway to change the fruity lock screen?
it gives no option to wait, it just says force close, about 6 or 7 pop ups.
Do you have to set up directories for app, private app, and dalvik, or does the program do that for you.
i had this working on first hero rom.
I was trying to push a modified apk into /data/app but it broke the program and I had to re-install the original. All I did was modify the png files in the Pandora widget and some of the colors of Widgetlocker. I'm using terminal emulator as well. I've pushed framework, blur and swype files with no problem. Why is this happening?
Did you use 7zip? If not try it because it won't break it.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
7zip isnt always the way to go, Sometimes it works in the data sometimes it doesnt. What string are you using to mount the data partition?
Have you tried pushing the same app to system/app? I have had that work when data wouldnt play well.
I'm using WinRAR to replace the res file and that worked with framework and blur. But I also tried putting a red background into Fancy Widgets and that broke the apk too. This is the string I'm using.
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker.apk /data/app
cp /sdcard/com.pandora.android.apk /data/app
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
Doesn't the modified apk have to overwrite the original installed one? If pandora and widgetlocker are both in /data/app how would pushing them to /system/app help? I'm not trying to sound like a jerk I have never messed with any type of Linux stuff literally just started Android hacking this week. I'm getting it for the most part. I've come back from the Dark Side of Windows Mobile.
Nah you dont sound like a jerk, always fun to learn. I only got heavy into changing pngs one I got my x. I hade the D1 for awhile but never did my own themes.
Winrar... not sure that might be your problem, I switched to 7zip since thats what everyone recommended.
Also that string is for mounting the system part, not the data.
for data use
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/userdata /data
then push your file
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/userdata /data
odds are it wont remount it will say busy
so type
reboot
sometime you have to push over the original, sometimes you have to uninstall the original, sometimes you have to uninstall the original and push the file to system/app instead, and the worst one I ran into.... left the original in data/app and had to push the modified one to system/app..... yeah that one sucked.... i was scratching my head for days!
i usually resign the app , uninstall the original and reinstall the modified one using astro or somethin.
xda has a autosign program in here somewhere that can resign the app
Link?

sorry took so long to reply
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580
basically i have the .bat file in same folder as tools
so before i push an app back to sdcard or w/e i run the program real quick
then astro will install it successfully<sp>
sometimes even using 7z the app just breaks when you mess with it and the only way it will run is if you push it to /system or resign it
just my experience on this
good luck
Ehh I use Terminal Emulator, I haven't graduated to SDK yet...
not to be rude, but of course pushing modified files like that will cause them to not install. You HAVE to resign the app even if you are just messing with the res pics.
No worries, like I said, I started Androiding on Monday. I signed the apk using the method a couple posts ago, but I can't copy the file to the phone. It says the device has either stop responding or is disconnected. I can throw a regular apk like Fancy Widget on no problem. I tried pushing it to the phone but it says the phone isn't mounted, even when plugged in and I can explore it through windows. What am I doing wrong?
hmm make sure you have the proper drivers for the phone for pushing files.
also the phone has to be in pc mode for adb make sure you have debugging checked in applications > development in the phone settings.
or just plug in the phone and switch to mass storage and drop the file in the phone that way.
think if you dont have the proper drivers none of those will work, check motorola website for the drivers or somewhere in xda im sure theres a link.

yeah i sent it right back fixed
edit - I just sent another email
Oh **** I just got it! I've been schooling myself in SDK for the last day and got ADB goin on it with the resigner from the other post. First I sign the app I want to install and then in adb just to the adb install command. But... I couldn't get the modified Pandora to install. Check it out.

was the new one signed? I just pushed my themed handcent and themed laucher pro to system, still have yet to sign anything.
Come to think of it the pandora i had to push to system/app was only named pandora...
Pandora was not signed. I uninstalled the official pandora and renamed the com.pandora.android.apk to just pandora.apk, then pushed it to \system\app. So now all that is left is to theme the google search widget and I might be done for a while...
Phone: Froyo 2.2 with root and S-OFF
I am trying to theme the clock widget with no luck. All I am trying to do is replace the flip digits, AM, PM, and background with identical sized graphics. I have tried replacing them with WinZip and 7Zip. I am signing them with the test signature which works with every other type of apk file.
I mount the system partition and push the new version with adb and when I restart all I get is a blank widget. It also shows up in the widgets list as something like 01db as the name.
So, I suspect the signing is the problem. Could be some signature check within the widget causing it to fail.
Any thoughts?
If anyone has this widget working with a black background and silver digits I would be just as happy.
I'm afraid I can't be much help at the moment, since I'm away from my computer, but here is a mod from the hero forums that I used to use on my eris. It'll be mdpi instead of hdpi, but taking a look at its files might help you out.

Actually no I haven't. Worth a shot Thanks
Well, that was weird... Pushing it unsigned worked. I never thought to try that since any add on apk's I have done needed to be signed.
Thank you
So, to summarize:
Code:
1) Open apk with 7zip and leave it open
2) Extract res folder to desktop
3) Modify graphics or whatever (I only did graphics)
4) Drag the res folder over the zip window and drop
5) Exit 7zip
6) Go into recovery mode and mount /system
7) Connect phone to pc
8) Open cmd and cd to your sdk folder where you put the apk
9) Push to original folder (in this case adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app) on phone in recovery mode
Happiness
Awesome, glad you got it to work. The way I usually do it is to push any apk unsigned first, and if I have problems try it again but sign first.

I guess I just got hung up on signing since I have never had luck with unsigned. However, this was my first attempt at a built in apk.

Just incase anyone likes the silver on black numbers for their clock like I do I decided to post my mods to HtcClockWidget.apk
This is based on the stock 2.2 widget but may work on 2.1 ROM's
Requires being rooted so just use adb to push it to /system/app folder
Back up your original just incase you want to go back

I am assuming you have the USB drivers installed and not HTC Sync.
When I ran SRS 2.5.2 it had the MOD for the silver clock widget, I now have 3.1 RC3 but when I try your method, "adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app" it uninstalls the stock one but does not install the new one. I have to flash a Nandroid backup to restore it. What am I doing wrong? I really liked the one from 2.5.2 and want it again.

I can understand it not working if you are on other than a stock 2.2 ROM since it is from the stock. What I don't understand is why pushing you original backup back isn't working.
Can you reinstall it from your Nand backup?

i did a nandroid restore, back to where i was before. its just weird that its not working.
Guys I tried this without any success
Vibrant ROM = Bionix
Galaxy S 4G ROM = KD1 Deodexed (CWM Ready)
1. I decompiled, swapped many lines in Environment.smali (only file where I saw differences)
2. Re-compiled them into new classes.dex files
3. Removed old classes.dex file from each of the four files (services.jar, framework.jar, settings.apk and android_policy.jar)
Note on step 3 - I don't know why I had to do this for the other 3 files if the Environment.smali in framework.jar was the only file that apparently needed modification...but I moved on
4. Moved over (copy and paste) all the wifi files, modem & kernel
5. Finally, compiled the updated Vibrant ROM into a new ZIP file
6. Used Amend2Edify to sign the zip
Now, when I tried to flash this, it hangs at "Mounting mount point" for a minute or two, then it goes through a flash process...it eventually finishes with no errors, I clear cache and reboot the phone....the phone loops at the "Samsung Galaxy S 4G" screen (initial screen when powering on device).........and it sits there forever, never boots into anything.
Now when I was making edits in the Environment.smali, there were some entries for the sd card with subdirectory attached (otg_disk)...I changed from /mnt/sdcard/otg_disk to /mnt/sd/external_sd/otg_disk
I followed through each step carefully, I even downloaded an app that scans files within a provided directory for certain text, I scanned all the other files besides framework.jar for "INTERNAL" and it did not find anything pertaining to INTERNAL_STORAGE.....
Here is a screenshot of some more "INTERNAL" stuff I found..particularly in MediaScanner.smali

Guys I tried this without any success
Vibrant ROM = Bionix
Galaxy S 4G ROM = KD1 Deodexed (CWM Ready)
1. I decompiled, swapped many lines in Environment.smali (only file where I saw differences)
2. Re-compiled them into new classes.dex files
3. Removed old classes.dex file from each of the four files (services.jar, framework.jar, settings.apk and android_policy.jar)
Note on step 3 - I don't know why I had to do this for the other 3 files if the Environment.smali in framework.jar was the only file that apparently needed modification...but I moved on
4. Moved over (copy and paste) all the wifi files, modem & kernel
5. Finally, compiled the updated Vibrant ROM into a new ZIP file
6. Used Amend2Edify to sign the zip
Now, when I tried to flash this, it hangs at "Mounting mount point" for a minute or two, then it goes through a flash process...it eventually finishes with no errors, I clear cache and reboot the phone....the phone loops at the "Samsung Galaxy S 4G" screen (initial screen when powering on device).........and it sits there forever, never boots into anything.
Now when I was making edits in the Environment.smali, there were some entries for the sd card with subdirectory attached (otg_disk)...I changed from /mnt/sdcard/otg_disk to /mnt/sd/external_sd/otg_disk
I followed through each step carefully, I even downloaded an app that scans files within a provided directory for certain text, I scanned all the other files besides framework.jar for "INTERNAL" and it did not find anything pertaining to INTERNAL_STORAGE.....

the .smali given.in the op completed the framework.jar classes.dex. if u dont see any differences in the other two .jar files, great! changes have to be made in settings. apk, tho... our you wont be able to mount.

What changes in Settings.apk? I searched that for the INTERNAL string...I did not find anything partaining to INTERNAL_STORAGE like in the OP, but I'll screenshot what the search application found below for Settings.apk:
How do you think this should be handled?

Of course. Just re-compiled everything and swapping some necessary files, then I will sign the zip and try again. I really hope this works guys.....

hey, just to make, "extra-sure" you're up do date on cwm and able to restore, right?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Yeah bro, I been up to date on CWM for sure. Hmm, I have used CWM to restore on this phone before...haven't tried on the CWM final yet..we'll see
Well, after the additional edits, still getting frozen at the initial "Galaxy S 4G" screen.
I don't know why, but it really hangs for awhile at "Mounting mount points..." during the beginning of the flash in CWM. Could this be a mount issue still??
Ugh...glad I did a nandroid backup this time..
Also, when I pop the battery and boot back into Android Recovery, I get a mounting issue:
Install default apk-files, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_data_default_apk:Can't mount DATA:
your storage is not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
Cannot restore either..
" E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system" "
SOAB!!
***EDIT***
Actually just turned the phone completely off, and then booted into CWM again... /system is no longer mounted....so it is restoring now

You're not using kernel and modem from the original Bionix right?
Well, I tried flashing again and then it boots up, but no picture on screen, keeps vibrating FC's every few seconds...and the key lights are on...going back to restore..
I DO NOT TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THIS JUST HELPING THOSE WHO WANT TO USE dtapps2sd
I have seen alot of people asking where to get dtapps2sd on various ROMS so I am posting a Link.
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?not...58809660835039
Instructions:
-Download dark tremors apps2sd and place it on the Root of your SD Card
-Boot your phone into Recovery *Power Button + Volume Down*
-Select Install zip from SD
-Flash dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip
-Reboot Phone
-Open up terminal Emulator (if you dont have it get it from the market its free)
-In Terminal Emulator type su *make sure its in lowercase* hit Enter
-Type in a2sd reinstall, your phone will reboot
-*Optional* once rebooted you can go back into Terminal Emulator and type in su hit enter and then type in a2sd datasd and let it run and reboot.
-*Optional* once rebooted you can go back into Terminal Emulator and type in su hit enter and then type in a2sd cachesd and let it run and reboot.
-*Optional once rebooted you can go back into Terminal Emulator and type in su hit enter and then type in a2sd cachedata and let it run and reboot.
You will then notice a major difference in Internal Space.
After I ran those 4 commands I have 222MB Used and 206MB Free

Hey Thanks Lithid.. I did a search for dta2sd and dtapps2sd and Dark Tremor and it either brought up nothing found or threads of u stalking about it.
If a Mod can delete this thread that would be cool

no problem, I myself hated searching thru threads looking for the download link. I couldnt find the actual post using Search and posted it up here.. Lithid did bring it to my attention though the actual link for the Script which is awesome so im hoping a mod can delete this thread and maybe make that script a sticky as it is very very useful and I know as more people will want this script

In my experience, I'd recommend not moving data to SD: many users have noticed performance suffers when doing this. You'll gain plenty of space just moving apps and dalvik, it may not be worth the hit to move data as well.
Also, I think you left out a key step: for this to work, you have to partition your SD card beforehand--might include that in your guide. I do this from AmonRa recovery (32mb cache, 2048mb ext2, then convert ext2 to ext3, then flash everything.)
I don't know if this thread will get removed in favor of the older one, but in case anybody else stumbles in here, it's worth having these points noted, imo.
edit to add: complete setup guide here (post#2 in the dtapps dev thread)

I use simple2ext (s2e) with CM7. It's an app that handles the script for you, simpler and with a nice GUI (you still have to partition SD yourself beforehand.) Same dev has another nice app called FreeSpace that you might want to check out as well.

Ok so i followed all the steps to partition and then flashed the latest zip and rebooted. Now i cant find most of my apps which i presume to be on the partitioned part of my SDcard. My question is how do i get to them to use them? i tried redownloading TB so i could reinstall but that doesnt even show up in my apps drawer. Could someone explain to me where i went wrong and I apologize if this has already been mentioned. I did do a thread search and could not find the info I was looking for...
Im running Synergy RLS1 if that makes a difference with stock kernel.
Do I need to do this everytime I install new apps or do I just need to reboot my phone and it will work automatically?

Invalid command?
ok everything worked but "a2sd cachedata" it says invalid command?
Hey brother,i love this mod,i was definitely having memory problems before i installed this.Excelent work.There is a little app that was developed to help people that don't know how to use ADB.... A2sdgui and heres the flashable zips.. Flashable Zip

I don't think that one is valid anymore but was used on the older versions. Here are all the current commands...not sure if you are trying to move cache or data. "nocache" moves it to internal storage and nocacherest will move it as well as rebuild davik on reboot....cachesd moves to sdcard

can you convert ext 3 to ext 4 after everything is installed or will it wipe the SD partition and mess up my rom install?
Here's a link to a gui interface for a2sd. To really use this you need a class6 sd and sd speed increase from market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991684
Contains a complete write up on usage of a2sd.
Been using it for over a year. Since day one of my root. 700 mb ext partition.
Or maybe give this a shot too?
