Ringtones in media player - Captivate General

Well i played around and found some threads saying ringtones showed up in the media player. Well i was happening to me to and i have a pet pave about stuff like that. anyway i found a thread on another site saying make as path sd\media\audio\ringtones and it would work. well it didn't i tried on the sd card on the phone. the sd card i put in there and the root . well last hope of it working and i noticed some show up and some didn't. well i dug a little deeper and found out the the ringtones that were over 300KB were showing up and the ones under 300kb were not.
Well there you have it if you dont want your ringtones to come up with the list of music in the media play downsize the file to under 300kb. It worked for me. I hope it makes some other Captivate owners happy. Have a wonder full day
by the way this is my first post. Thanks for all the great info out there guys. Thanks

any body tried this and work for them

Nice find! Ill have to downsample my tones a bit more but ill give it a shot later.

Haha thanks I thought it was funny too. I almost put wife but I don't need people getting salty...
I have ringdroid and audacity, its just easy when youre semi lazy to download already created tones. Mabilo was perfect it had most things I searched for. Unfortunate, I wonder why it got nixed?

DCMA again I bet..
Anyone have the apk of the last version?
It still works, just not on the market anymore.
ZEDGE works well
I use ZEDGE as well, it can be a pain to find some things but 4/5 times usually has what I'm looking for to a point. Other than that I just use ringdroid or PowerAMP.
You still can download it on their site.

When I tried to load the apk I have on my sd it wouldn't return any results. Zedge has yet to come up with one thing I want to use.

It seems they may be still alive. When I did a search on their site I was able to download the ringtone on my computer. But I'm not sure why the app is acting up.

[Q] of a program that will play all "Random Ringtones/Notifications?

so i have lots of cool rigntones and sounds for sms and notifications,but wouldnt it be cool if there was an app that would automatically play a random sound for callls and txts? that way it would always be preety fun to hear something different every time! was wondering if anybody ever came across such a program ? oh yeah for android platform
anybody??? thought this 1 might have come up once b4
Probably too dependent on the phone branding, etc.
I had one on my old phone, and it was either called "toneshuffler" or "ringshuffler". Try searching for those two. It was free, and it worked well enough at the time, but I have not used it in a while.
Its called shuffletone and is on the market

I have developed an app called Multiple RIngtone Sette . You may try this for Random Ringtones

[Q] New Android User.

Hi, I just got a Sensation a couple of days ago and there have been a few problems I hope you guys could help me with.
Firstly, my Android Market only shows a few of the apps that there should be. Loads of apps such as the launchers or Angry Birds for example aren't showing up. When I open the Market from my desktop it says that these apps cannot be installed in my country (UAE) when i have friends here with other Android phones with the very same apps.
Secondly, whenever I play a video on the phone it plays fine for about a minute and then the audio switches off and it only comes back if I skip scenes. I don't if this is a fault with my phone or maybe a wrong format I'm using, can you guys recommend a converter?
Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.

I do not know the answer to your first question, but I would assume that your friends either have a different ROM flashed to their phone that allows them to bypass country restrictions, or they have downloaded the APK's from somewhere else, then 'adb push'ed them to their device... Someone more knowledgeable than me can answer that one...
The second question regarding video converters... I have used an application called Handbrake in the past to re-encode my video files, and it has worked wonders. I highly recommend it. Link: http://handbrake.fr/
Hope this helps.

You can try to find the apk for the apps you want and install them outside of Market by copying the apk to your SD card then installing from there (be sure to check the allow non-market applications box under the applications settings) this should (I think) bypass any country restrictions. If you look around I'm sure you can find the apks you want. If not you could probably make a request for certain apps and someone can upload the apk for you.
Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.
Where do I paste the App file in the SD card?
Anywhere . You can, for example create new folder - "Apps" on yours sd and paste applications there.

Ahh, sorry should've been more specific. After copying the file over, where do I go in the phone to install it?
Nevermind, got it.
You can use the web-market to install apps. No idea why it doesn't appear on the phone's market app, but it should appear on the web market.
market.android.com
For the second problem: what video format are you using? Try *.mp4 or *.avi and see if they work Also, what resolution is the video?

You can try another video player such as MoboPlayer to see if you have converted your video ok.

I also use HandBrake converter.
There is an app called android market enabler "lets you access paid apps from countries where paid apps are not yet available". But it requires you to root your phone which is not currently possible on our phone. This could be what your friends are using.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/market-enabler-v3-0-8-for-root-users/
I just copied some random avi files I had on my desktop, which gave me the problem above. Haven't tried using converter yet but I'll give it a shot now.

Thanks guys, I tried the qqplayer and its playing perfectly. Though one more thing, how do you set custom (from the SD card) notifications for things like messages or emails? Atm I can only find it for ringtones. Oh and how do I switch off the annoying sound upon unlocking?
Sorry for the trouble, first time user and all. =/
lolwut16,
I am from UAE too and have the same problems with paid apps from Android Market.
I am just waiting a software solution to turn my Sensation S-off and install a "market enabler".
You are not alone........

make a folder on the root of your storage card & name it notifications & put the sounds in there.
for the weather sound you can disable that in the weather app or somewhere like that

Ninja Rom Q&A

As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.
Voicemail numbers

sound issue-
i can hear two seconds roughly, of static evertime my phone makes a noise, the system clicking noise.....any sound while playing a game. i can hear it over headphones, or on the main speaker. also, when my headphones are on and im cliking through my music library, i hear it. its not really a big issue, more of an annoyance and something i havent encountered before. but i would like to fix it if possible.
If you have any questions about Ninja, please post them here. The team will be happy to answer your questions the best we can. Thanks Zel for setting this up!!
I think this is a great thread. It should be added to the initial post on the Ninja page so that noobs have a place to go with questions. Is there anyway to post the Q/A's from the development thread and list them here so that the same questions aren't asked again?
.flv files
Maybe its me, but with the other Phoenix roms (on the captivate) I could play .flv files, not from the stock video player, but I had download another, Act 1 player, or something like that. On this rom I have to use Moai FLV player, which is annoying and skips. Any thoughts on why the system doesn't recognize those anymore?
Thanks

I tested mine, I was not able to recreate the issue you are experiencing. Sound seems ok for me.

I didn't look back in the other thread, but did you download a fresh copy of Ninja before? It seems you've had many issues. Also, if you download to the computer, make sure you have a good USB cable and USB port on the computer. Make sure you aren't using a USB breakout box. Those don't always work well. Also, have you tried the Lordmod kernels? The newest one, 6.8 seems to work well.

Have you tried Mobo Player? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil&feature=search_result I used to use Act 1 myself, but Mobo has played anything I have thrown at it. Better interface and more features too!

I am having the same problem as the person above. My data kicks off when i receive or try and download a MMS. I have not tried to send one. It take a min for the data to come back after it has kicked. Also I'm using the two APN's from the op.
Quick question guys. Today my phone started all of a sudden started acting weird. Mobile data barely works though my guess is its the network yesterday It was fine but was slow and today even worse. I also noticed my gallery app wont display my pics. It just shows blank transparant blocks. Lastly go launcher suddenly lost my custom icons when I rebooted.
Running ninja 716 with 6.8 bfs. I haven't changed/ added anything new. This was just sudden. Anybody experience this. This rom has never given me problems

Can't open MP3 links from apps in CM9

Trying to open an MP3 link within Google Reader using CM9 and get the message "No applications can perform this action."
I've tried downloading a different media player (PowerAmp) - doesn't fix the issue.
Any ideas?
this probably isnt the problem but its the only thing i can think. The mp3 file could be possibly be corrupted. :laugh:
Good try. Any others?

maybe you didnt mean to come across like that...but it seemed like it...hate those short [email protected]@ short like anwsers my self...but imho
or maybe reply with something like this...
thanks for your post, from what I have seem and identified the file doesnt seem to be corrupt...I know this because I have done ...XXXX and XXXX
see my point...
thx
Point taken. Definitely didn't mean it like that. Should have included an emotion, I suppose. I took his response as a little funny and generally expect others on technical forums not to read emotion from plain speech...
Files aren't corrupt. All mp3 links from within Google Reader app result in the same message. Same app and links worked prior to move to ICS.
Others on Google+ with CM9 on non-Infuse report the same issue, so perhaps it is ICS specific.
Could be that the mime type reported by the server for the files does not have a handler. Mp3 files work fine when stored locally on the device, though.
