Change tones based on location?

I'm just wondering about an app that would change the ringtones and message tones based on location... I.e. when your at work, you want work appropriate ringtones and when ur not at work they go back to normal... I've tried profile changers (smarter profiles) that are wifi based, but it doesn't change the tones, just the volume..... any ideas?

Maybe something like Settings Profile? I have the paid version and it works very well.

Dude that was exactly what I wanted! God I love xda!

Gingeritis problem...

I have no ringtones, alarms, or notifications other then the dumb ones left on by the dev and can't download any from HTC hub. I have to have my phone on vibrate because it plays an explicit rap song for a ringtone. Any suggestions.

Did you wipe before installing? And which version of gingeritis are you using?

Chingy scripts all his roms to wipe that badboy clean as a whistle. That means any ringtones saved in your old rom will be gone forever. You can use or make a ringtone or notifier or alarm from virtually any mp3 on your sdcard. It's a piece of cake.

When I use hub to create a ringtone it says please insert SD card. I'm using 3d test 11

Go to sd card and create a folder called "ringtones" and put mp3s there. They will show up in settings/sound/ringtone list

Dev fixed it in update but thanks fellas.

Question about possibility of new ringtones.

Would it be possible to have a ringtone or even a start up sound that says Droid? Like a robotic type?

Of course. Any mp3 can be used as a ringtone or startup sound.
Ringtone is especially easy as you can simply select it to be your ringtone from your music player.
Just copy the mp3 into the music folder on your sd card.
Startup sound is easy too, but you need to either edit a ROM zip file or use ADB commands to get it to the right place.

Is this something I could do? Or ask someone with more knowledge than I? If so please point me in the right direction.

To change the startup tone you'll need to be S-OFF/rooted as you have to change the android_audio.mp3 in /system/customize/resource to something else (but keeping the file name the same)

Okay sounds easy enough now the next step is producing the sound to say Drrroooid.. Is there a program i can do this with?

Here ya go. How about the startup sound, and boot animation.

They are easy to instal, I have both working on my Sensation, Google Droid live wallpaper for the full experience, there are also clearer instructions on how to get it working, I recommend using Root Explorer.

[Q] Sorry fo this noob question , how to assign an mp3 file as a ringtone ?

Hello
Is that possible in ICS 4.0.3 stock ? it's about 500kb mp3 file that I like to make it as the phone calling ringtone..
Thanks

Go to Settings-Sound-Phone ringtone, and change it from there.

Make a directory on your root SD card for your Nexus (I know it doesn't have an SD card, but plug in your phone to your PC using a USB Cable and from there turn on USB storage.
Once looking through the directories on your phone, create a folder called Media. Inside that, create a folder called ringtones and place your MP3 file in there. Your Nexus S should recognize this file as an MP3 and it will be selectable from your ringtones after you unplug your phone.
The same can be done for Alarms and Notifications.
For instance,
Media/Ringtones
Media/Notifications
Media/Alarms
When you unplug your Nexus S from your PC after you put files in the respective folders above, your Nexus S should recognize these files and you should be able to see them then next time you set a alert of some sort.
Hope that helps!

Excellent answer , sure that helps much.
Thanks

Found out that creating the Ringtones, Notifications, Alarms folders in the root of the SD card has the same effect. Might require a reboot too take effect.

You can also use an app called ringtone maker by big bang dev to edit and set ringtones.

A lot easier: Just download Zedge from the market. Will let you pick any song just anywhere.

Is the same methode of making a folder with "Media" name applies for a Wallpaper ?
I don't like the stock ICS wallpapers and I have a folder of the stock GB wallpapers on my PC.... How can I incorporate them with the stock ICS wallpapers ? is that possible ?

Ringtone help

I've given myself a headache over this. I have a custom ringtone I want to use as a notification tone. Easy enough, put it in the folder media/ringtone/notifications. Don't show up. I do a reboot, still no dice. There is no + like in phone call ringtones to add a new one. I'm lost haha. Any help? Seems so simple, just a new ringtone!!

Create a folder in Memory SD card with ES File Manager.
Open File manager go to the SD card, and create new folder named as “media“(without quotes).
And open the media folder, and create another new folder named as “audio“.
Then open the audio folder and again create 2 new folders. One is “notifications” and another one is “ringtones“.
It must be in this path- SDcard> media> audio> notifications
Move the tone that you want to set as notification ringtone to the notifications folder.
You can also use the ringtones folder to set the ringtones.
After that, go to Settings> Sound> Notification Ringtone.
Now you can see the custom tone that you moved earlier to the notifications folder.
If the moved tone is not there, then restart your phone. Then check the ringtones settings. It might work. Has for me.

Are you using wav? or mp3. You may have to convert to ogg to make it recognize it.

So it's because of the format I can't see it in the settings?

Try converting to mp3. wav or ogg. That should solve it.

May have to go ogg. Or check orginal files to see what format they are and try matching. I never had a problem with mp3 or wav. Are you on a sense or aosp? Sense may be conflicting.

I have googled and it told me what you said. No other solutions but I'll keep hunting.
Sense. I hadn't thought about that... I'll wipe caches and if that don't work I'll reflash the Rom on running (venom)
Edit: clearing cache did nothing. Wiping and flashing now...

Just pulled a notification from viperxl. It's a m4a format. I will see if I can convert and get on to work on viper when I get home.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Viper will not let me change it. Even tried renaming it to notification already there. I think it is a size issue. Maybe someone can shed some light on this because I have become very curious but do not have the time at the moment to investigate further.

Don't know if this helps. But I use ring droid. Its a free app from the play store. I downloaded the "droid" sound bite. And now I use it for SMS. I would suggest doing that and then looking in your notifications.

I tried it with Zedge and Ring Droid on Viper. As long as you download tone it will show up. But if you put it in folder manually, it will not show. Uninstalled because Viper doesn't like android apps. No problem on Chameleon.
