I've noticed that some of new roms cooked with WM6.1 have newer/different ringtones like the ones in Laurentius26 rom. Can some one either point me in the right directions to obtain those sounds files/ringtones or can some one be so kind to upload them? I think this ringtones are head and shoulders above the standard ones in most wm6.1 roms.

This question is in the wrong forum. that being said, if you click the link in my signature there is a collection of ringtones i've collected from various sources, not wm6.1 but you might like some of them.

Well first i would suggest searching to make sure that the question hasn't been asked somewhere else in the forum already, but i think the question would be most appropriate in the off topic which is anything not related directly to the phones, or the general forum, since it isn't really a question specific to the kaiser.
Listen, It is not that big of a deal. Next time just try to search first. Other than that no worries whether it is in the right place or not. Some people are very anal but they get over it.

Does make you wonder why they even bother to have separate forums for different topics if it doesn't matter where you post. I know most new members post in the wrong forums cause they just don't know any better, it's obviously a lot better to let them know when they post in the wrong place and then help them with their problem anyway than to just leave them browsing in ignorance. That's how people learn. of course you are entitled to your opinion and i to mine, so is suppose we will agree to disagree on this one.
Not a Noob
If you look at my join date, I've got you by a year! I'm more of a lurker than a poster. It didn't seem to fit any one category and since I only know of the roms that I used that have those ringtones to be in this forum, I thought maybe, just maybe this would be the best place to start and if not someone would have pointed me in the right direction. But no harm no foul.

Like i've said before, guess we'll have to disagree. this forum is for rom development, and as such questions related to more general items not specific to a particular rom should be posted in the "general forum" if you wanted to get the ringtones from a particular rom you could always post within that thread and ask someone to copy them from that rom and share them as it would be pretty easy. i personally use my own collection of ringtones i've created or downloaded over the years, currently the collection is well over 100 tones so i never even notice if a rom has different ringtones. My appologies for implying you were a noob, i was writing this from my phone and didn't see you have 70+ postings already. i myself have even been reminded about posting in the wrong forum on occasion. i'm definitely not trying to offend anyone, just trying to do a little part to help keep the forum a little more structured i guess.
Sorry for starting a new thread. ttran has put lot of work in 7.x roms and they are the best rom till date. Excellent response time and out of the world UI and features. However it has a serious issue which is present is almost every 7.x rom.
If there a call coming from blocked number and your backlight is off (as most of time it will be) the phone doesn't ring/vibrate. Just the backlight turns on it shows the number on screen. But it doesn't ring/vibrate.
This is the issue with virgin 7.x rom installed. No additional software installed or no additional settings done. I have flashed 7.3, 7.4.1, 7.6 (with phonecanvas and without phonecanvas) roms and have issue in all of these roms. Now I flashed back to 6.5 and it is working as expected.
It is very easy to reproduce. With any 7.x rom
1) switch off the backlight if it is not already off by pressing the button on top of phone
2) call your phone from another phone with caller id blocked. (If in US, you can put *67 in front of number you are dialing. e.g. instead of dialing 12345671234 dial *6712345671234)
You will see that screen turns on and shows a private call, but it doesn't ring.
Without this working I miss several important calls.
If anyone has a solution or need more info please reply to this thread.
EDIT: Good news.. This isssue is no longer present in OTP 7.7.. I just flashed to 7.7 biggy and it doesn't have that issue. Thanks TTRAN !!
I'm using OTP 7.3 STD and this happens. But honestly I think of it more as a
special feature - since I'm the kind of guy who doesn't want to be bothered by
anyone who is blocking or has a blocked ID. Callers can still leave voice mail and
that comes with an audible and visual alert - and if I like 'em, I can call 'em back.

I third this problem,
DrStinkbomb, i have exactly the same thoughts about not answering those who want to be private, but it has its down aswell.
Just day before yesterday i was waiting for a call from NYC Police because they have fix my car for damaging it while trying to catch a suspect. They did call me back, but from a private number, lucky for me i had my phone on my desk beside my computer and saw the light coming up. Thats when i relialzed that i almost missed a very important call.
So yes it is important to get it fixed.
yea i dont answer if they block their number anyway... they can just leave a message if i dont know who it is... so this is actually a good feature
Unfortunately, with the doctors and lawyers (not to mention the couple generally paranoid quacks) in the family I foresee this being a potential issue for me. I haven't noticed it yet, but the holiday's aren't yet in everyone's mind...
Though some users like not answering calls from blocked number, however as tatail mentioned, sometimes it is very important to take calls.
Several times banks, hospital, doctor etc. call from a blocked number and you really don't want to miss those calls.
I have to revert back to 6.5 rom just because of this issue.
I hope someone knowledgeable can come up with solution.

No you're not. In fact, you're rather unapologetic about it, considering you had thought about it before doing it, and decided to do it anyway.

chill dude.. I am not complaining. I am pointing out a issue. finding out bugs is part of development process so cook can put it in next rom or people can find solution together. If you read my posts, you will see that I have been a big fan of ttran's rom. I have posted solution myself for a bluetooth issue I found in one of the earlier roms. As you would have noticed I have tried to do my part by doing debugging (flashing different roms, about 12 to 13 times with different options and finally isolating the issue)
We are in this together to make it better.

Really. With all the irrelevant posts that get stuck inside the OTP thread, you create a new one for this? Please explain to me why this would not have been better posted on the 7.x thread itself.
And no, 'I'm Special,' is not an acceptable answer.

No, he is not trying to help, he is trying to be helped, and if you're looking for some assistance with an issue you can at least follow forum etiquette rules as dumpydooby pointed out. The development forum is not for help, its for developing new roms, he can either post in the rom thread if he wants to help the cook debug the rom, or he can post in a forum for assistance. I think a mod should remove this thread.

No, I don't need any assistance, I don't have this issue. I think he saw there were a bunch of people that were having the same issue, so I guess that's why he posted it here. I agree, the post would be better served in the OT7 post, but I do think he was just trying to help.

i think you answered your question yourself. the OTP thread is so massive with 'irrelevant' posts that the big issues get buried. And if you had taken time to read the actual OTP thread, I had posted it in that thread (don't tell me you never read the OTP thread).
In fact ttran himself had offered to fix this issue ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2756237&highlight=vibrate#post2756237 ) . But I think because of ton's of posts after that it got buried. I did not want to bug ttran with PM's. He already has tons of things to do.
I am just hoping to find a solution collectively.
If you had not started whining about this thread, maybe we would be closer to fix which can be given to ttran so he can add it to his next rom.

What's wrong with pointing out a potentially serious issue and offering to help ?
Here are the rules from forum (in case you forgot to read them)
- ROM discussion
- ROM release
- ROM issus due to the release thread
I never said I need it fixed now. I have already flashed back to 6.5.
I am offering to help anyone and provide any required info who knows more about roms than me.

the current post is what, 12 pages? and if you cant be bothered to read the thread, and find out if the answer is already there... or even re-post there and wait for ttran to see it...
i came to this site and read everything i could find, i never once asked a question so that i could be spoon fed answers, i searched and found all the info i needed, and i certainly never created repetitive, self-serving posts in development forums
but you're right, i'm whining, when i should have just ignored the question and questioner, duly noted.
edit: also just for kicks, my phone rings just fine when the caller ID is blocked otp 7.6

Way ahead of you. My eyesight must be weaker than you since even after reading all the posts, I could not find the solution. I had reposted it couple of times in original thread. Also if you had read the thread carefully, you will find that several other people have exactly same issue. Though none of them could reproduce it. I was able to isolate and reproduce it after spending lot of time. What have you done to contribute to development of the ROM's (except trolling in forums)
If you can find solution to all your problems by searching, good for you.
This is a public forum (meant for discussing issues), and there are owners/moderators defining the rules. As per rules they permit posting the issues. You seem to be hell bent on policing the forum, and enforcing your own views (I see you just joined this forum a month back).
I had repeatedly said that this is not a "please-fix-it-for-me-i-must-have-it" thread (though it would be good to have this fixed ) since I have already switched to previous version which doesn't have this issue. In addition I am offering to help others isolate/debug the problem.
Just for kicks, why don't you try to switch off the backlight of your phone and try calling from blocked number ?
You know.... Tran did make a thread for rom issues... dont forget that, and i quote
"Please post your issues here since the original thread is getting way too big.
Also, please post your fixes for possible minor issues, this will help new users until I update the rom.
Do not post any thing else in this thread besides issue related stuff."
WOW, he even says please in his thread... what a little reading will do...
And so, the moral to this story is...
I'm not sure. All I'm getting from all
this is 'I am holier than thou'....
'nuff said. It's not funny anymore.
Perhaps it's completely obvious that they do but I just wanted to check before I flashed my phone later as I really like the Android Market.
Cheers, Roy.
Ok first of all. Try look at the forum name, it is called Sapphire android development. Your topic has nothing at all to do with it.
Second of all, why would you think the other ROMs would NOT include the market?
First of all, I put it in this section as it relates to the ROMs being cooked here. Silly of me to think it may be related.
Second of all, it was a simple question, I hadn't seen it mentioned in the threads for the other ROMS and just wanted to double check before I flashed my phone. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Third of all, Bulbasaur beats Squirtle!!
Yes they do include the android market. If needed use market enabler to show paid apps if not supported in your country.
There, that wasn't hard to answer was it. So many quick to criticise on here instead on helping. I remember when it was a community...(drifts off into fond memories of the WM forum days with my XDA II)
I know mate. Back when I used to use this forum to Flash my HTC touch diamond people were always more then happy to help.
At the end of the day, if I've got a question then I'm going to ask it. Better I do that rather then I don't ask and end up bricking my £200+ phone!
Anyways it's Friday
Agreed. Anyway, the dev forum is usually the most active, and most likely to get your question seen,

I realy dont know why if you dont like the question dont answer it, its not hard

I am yet to find any rom without Market and doubt I ever will
This forum is getting flooded by the same questions over and over again, because people can't find out how to use the search function, also that question - if you think about it was a bit stupid. Seriously why would a ROM maker NOT include the android market? None of the ROMs I have tried includes it. And IF it was excluded it would be easy to take the apk file from another ROM and just put in the /system/app folder - how hard can that be?
I advise you to try it the hard way, you always have the possibility of doing a nandroid backup and restore it.

now now no need for all that! use a bit of tact mate. the guy asked a question and yes you answered but in the wrong way! yeah he should have searched and maybe thought before asking but he did and he didn't need to be told off. man this place is rapidly going down hill and its sad. back in the day people could ask whatever they wanted over and over again and the reply was always friendly. its a matter of choice so refrain from responding in future in sort a manner....... seriously don't defend your actions just realise they were a bit harsh and chill! this is a share and help forum and people seem to forget that!

Hi. Ok, i have recently seen various post where people are asking for help about a partiqular issue. Yet all the the time, u have been either rude or cockey and totally demotivating.
I can understand your fustration that some people may have not used the search function,have posted in the wrong thread, or ultimatley have started a new thread, but i feel that is not the way to respond. y dont u just point them to the right direction in a more friendly way?
we were all a newbie once...(well i still am Lol!!)
I hope u dont take it the wrong way, but i personally wouldnt like it if someone responded like that. As a senior member, we look up to you guys to try and help us and or point us to the right direction.

Thanks to all who don't use search and open directly a new thread, it is more difficult to find something for the searching people (like me), because you get a huge number of hits with irrelevant threads... Get it?
I don't want to demotivate but motivate to search and read. When you give directly a helping link, they stay doing it.
Seeing every time new opened threads from newbies with every time the same silly questions, that's very demotivating for us, the people who supposed to help you. And that's what you'r looking for here, somebody who wants to help you. We don't have to do it, but we like it because this forum is a bit like a hobby for us.
So, we can shoose, saying nothing more or trying to teach you how a forum works. I prefer the last thing... And if somebody like me (the bad one) point you in the right direction, it's not for beeing bad, but for getting a better usefull forum. You can see in my posthistory that it's really multiple times a day that new useless threads were opened...
Normally it's a work for the moderators, but they also have a live and can not be always here, because also them are doing this as a hobby. Be all glad that I don't be one of them or it was the same comment and also closing the thread directly.
I take some time for this post because I can quote him for futur use when I get comments again from not-readers, not-searchers, new-post-openers and silly-question-posters...
If you have really followed my posts, you know that I help a lot when the rules are followed a bit...
And do you know why I can help others? Because I read a lot...
I am using UDK R7, I get the updates,.. have you tried a hard reset see if that sorts it out...
Sorry that i posted to wrong section. I thought it was a problem with Sense and not the rom, reason being my posting to this section. I think hard resetting would be extreme. Will search and see if anything comes up.

I understand bro, all i was getting at was just try to put it in a nicer way,thats all. regarding "silly" posts or questions, yeah, i have seen some VERY silly questions and i think to myself "the human stupidity IS infinite"! and i understand that it is coz of those posts/questions, ppl can get fustrated as it does clutter the forum.
I know you have helped alot of ppl, continue to do so.
i admit i personally havnt had alot of input in the forum as i still am a newbie, and anytime i have thought of answering a question, i fall back thinking if i am giving the right or wrong answer as i dont wanna make a fool out of myelf just being honest bro.
Hello all. I have been searching and searching for the app called Reader's Hub. I have a US Version Sprint Tab that I just got yesterday. I found, what I believe to be two files, the Reading Hub.apk and Zinio_pressdisplay.rar. I haven't downloaded them yet because I don't know if they are the current version, and I don't know what to do with the files once I have downloaded them (where to put them, etc). Can someone please help me? I really want this App. Thanks.
You have far too many posts on the same subject, if you keep to one it'll help us all (including yourself) ...I'm pretty new to this forum but not so new to others, and it's not likely to get a nice response from most communities for sure
