So I just made the leap from Fresh 2.3.3 to Cyanogen, but the one thing that stands out so far is how much I can't stand the sound files that come with vanilla android. Is there a way to pull the sound files out of a sense rom and plug them back into a vanilla rom?
Download a sense rom, extract the zip and navigate to the /system/media/audio folder there you'll find ringtones, alarms, and notifications. You can then put them on your sd card with the same folder structure media/audio/ringtones or notifications or alarms.

Choose the "resources" link.
Thanks so much, this worked perfect!!! I am loving the new build... the soft keyboard and the new UI updates makes this really kick ass!

will extracting it to the sd card cause the sounds to display under music?
what i did was adb push c:\android\resource\audio\alarms\file.mp3 /system/media/audio/alarms/
and the same went for c:\....\notifications\file.mp3 /system/media/audio/notifications/
ive successfully pushed all the files from the resource.zip to the phones respective folders and this takes more time, but it works alot better than just putting it on the sd card, although it takes up space on the phone
now who knows how to delete files that are on the phone? for example if i pushed a file to the phone, but dont want that specific file on the phone anymore?
After using CM 6.1.2 RC2 for a day, I find that I miss certain things that come in the shipped MT4G ROM and I'm wondering if there's a way to get them into the custom ROM. In no particular order:
1. Contacts App
I really like the shipped ROM contacts app over this one. I did an adb pull /system/app for both the shipped ROM and CM 6.1.2 RC2. The shipped ROM has htcContacts.apk and htcContacts.odex, but no Contacts.apk. CM 6.1.2 RC2 has Contacts.apk. Could I transfer htcContacts.apk and htcContacts.odex to the sdcard and install them? Will this give me the shipped contacts app? Or are there other things not included in CM 6.1.2 that are necessary for the shipped Contacts app to function?
2. Calendar and calendar widget
Essentially the same question as #1. In this case, both ROMs have a Calendar.apk, and the shipped ROM additionally has htccalendarwidgets.apk and htccalendarwidgets.odex. Can I replace CM's Calendar.apk with the shipped ROM's version and add the calendarwidgets?
3. Icons and sound files
I'd like to grab some of the icons and sound files that come packaged in the shipped ROM. If they're on internal memory, I just need to do an adb pull and place them on the sdcard, and from there I can access them through the launcher. Does anyone know where those files might be?
Thanks in advance
1. Contacts App
Based on HTC Framework. By the time you're done importing necessary libs/framework resources you're going to end up with Sense rom. However, there many replacement apps on the market, some are very similar to Sense, try them out.
2. Calendar and calendar widget
Same thing as #1.
3. Icons and sound files
This is too general to answer exactly but
You can put sounds on your sd card using following folder structure
sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
sdcard/media/audio/alarms
sdcard/media/audio/notifications
They will show up along with included ringtones/alarms/notifications after reboot
As far as icons - not sure what you mean.
This thread screams Q&A section.
The contacts, calendar, and Widgets are closed source HTC apps so you wont find them in CM..try launcher pro plus...it has some very nice Widgets that u might like. And for sounds and icons you can use metaporph to change icons and create a folder called media in your SD card with the sound files u like

Thanks for the responses. It appears I need to do some more research with regard to the contacts and calendar apps.
Let me try to rephrase #3: The shipped ROM had icons and sound files already loaded onto the device when it came out of the box, probably part of HTC Sense. For instance, the icon for the Messages app is not the green android speech bubble, it looks more like a rolodex card. The icon for the contacts app is different as well. The notification sound I used was pre-loaded on the shipped ROM but is not included in CM. And so on.
I have a backup of the shipped ROM. If I know were these files are located, I can flash back to shipped, adb pull the files I want to my PC, reflash back to CM, and go from there.
Hope that makes sense (not Sense ). I'm happy to do the legwork so long as I know what I'm doing.
Please do not post discussions in Development section.
A lot easier would be to download a stock rom then extracting nandroids (unthemed iced glacier would be a perfect rom to do that)
All ringtones are loacated in /system/media/audio - you can just copy the whole media folder to the root of your sd card or get individual rings.
All apps are located in /system/app/ To get your icons - you need to open up each individual apk and look in "res" folder. Somewhere in either "drawable" or 'drawable-hdpi" subfolders you will find icons. Or you can download espresso icon pack for the market and extract all icons from there (if there's s such a thing.)
Good luck.

Thanks borodin1, I did manage to get those audio files via ADB. About the icons, what do I use to open up an apk?

7zip is good and will open .apk out of the box but any zip utilities will open up apk files, just have to know how to work them... I think that if you use WinZip you have to rename file to .zip and it will work just fine. No sure about others.... I use 7zip because it's free and works great.
Good luck.
The perfect way to achieve what you want is install Launcher Pro Plus on your CM rom. You get the sense like widgets such as the calendar app and you can change the icons of the messaging app and replace it with the "rolodex card" look that you wish. And You can unzip an iced glacier rom and extract the audio files from there and put it on your Sd card under media then notifications, that's what I did to keep my text and call sounds that came with the phone.
Anyways, hope that helped!

A bunch of MILocker and MIUI Lockscreens
I downloaded some new lock screens, and whenever I apply them, just the wallpaper changes and the actual lockscreen part stays the same. Any help?
The .mtz file is just a renamed zip. Look inside, is there a file called lockscreen or is there a folder called lockscreen?
If it's a folder do this:
Unzip the whole thing to a folder called work.
Next, zip what's inside the lockscreen folder, (not the lockscreen folder, just what's inside). Call it lockscreen, if an extension gets added, rename it without the extension.
Next delete the lockscreen folder.
Next zip everything inside of the work folder. Call it Test.
Next rename Test.zip to Test.mtz and copy it to your phones miui/theme folder.
You should be good to go after you disconnect the phone from your computer and let it scan the sdcards.
Note: This can also be done on your phone without the aid of a computer.
If this doesn't help, let me know which lockscreen you were trying to get working.
I'm guessing there's no shortcut to that ^?

I thought that my info was straight and to the point. When themes are written for one program, sometimes a little change needs to be made for them to work with others. As in the MiLocker doesn't read a lockscreen folder. Hence, it has to be zipped within the theme.
Heck, I'm an ex-junky who's lost more brain cells to acid then anyone that I know. If I can do/figure it out, anybody can.
Not able to see themes on Milocker
Hi,
I installed Milocker, and downloaded couple of .mtz themes... I copied the .mtz files to sdcard/MIUI/Themes folder...but when i Look at Milocker in Local section I am not able to get any themes.......
Please help....
Looks like these are for older MIUI, probably 2.3.x. Depending on what version you are running ymmv...
I have CM9 running ICS on my Triumph, loving it. The only question I have is where are the locations for the powerup and powerdown audio files? I found the audio folders but didn't know where to put a powerup file. I'm assuming it would go into /system/media, possibly into /audio/ui and just rename it to Powerup.mp3. Not sure if there is another folder somewhere else, the folder structure is different than Froyo and that's what I'm used to tweaking. Thanks in advance!
Please parson me if I have missed this in my search.
I am looking for a way to create a flashable zip script that can be run after a new ROM is installed where it can replace all the stock ROM sounds in the notifications, ringtones, ui and notifications directory.
After the new ROM is installed you can then stay in recovery and use the "sound update" flashable zip to delete the existing sounds and replace them with the ones in the script.
Now I know I could just replace the files from the ROM ZIP but always having a "sound update" flashable zip on the SD card would be a little faster especially if I am not at a computer to do the file replacement in the ROM itself.
I hope I am making sense.
Thanks in advance.

Please take it upon yourself to do some research on how to make flashable zips. I don't say this to be mean, but learning how to do things makes you less reliable on others...
You need to place all of your sounds in their respective directories inside /system/media, use the proper update-binaries (which can be pulled from any rom), and write an updater-script.
(hint: "delete_recursive" and "package_extract_dir" will be used helpful)
