I, like an idiot, deleted an alarm sound off of my Droid Charge without first backing it up, and now I'd like it back. I did that because I copied an alarm sound file (snooze.mp3) from my defective Thunderbolt that I wanted to use on my Charge, but it still appears as a choice on the menu of alarm sounds when configuring the alarms, so I'd like to put it back on my phone. I should've made a copy of it before I deleted it, but I thought that it would just automatically no longer appear on the list of alarm sounds since it was gone. MY Droid Charge has been rooted and I am using a custom ROM, GummyCHARGED 1.8.5, and the alarm sound I deleted and want back is Toy_watch.ogg, I believe. Does anybody know where I can obtain a copy of this sound file? I was just deleting it because I copied and put on my Charge two mp3's from my Thunderbolt, beeps.mp3 and snooze.mp3, and I wanted those to be the only two choices when selecting alarm sounds. However, when I saw it still appeared in the list, even after rebooting, I didn't delete any others.
Alternatively, if someone can tell me how to remove it from the list, that would be great, too!
Thanks,
Dennis
Nevermind! I realized I still had the ZIP file of GummyCHARGED 1.8.5 on my PC, so I just went in there and extracted the alarm sound I needed, then pasted it onto my Charge.

Long story short I needed a new ringtone for my phone because it was giving someone I live with a health problem. I was using the defaulted US Cellular chime.
So I downloaded some ringtones and put them on my phone via USB and my PC. I put them in the folder media/audio/notifications. Both were MP3 formats.
I go to change my ringtone in Settings/Sound Settings/Notification ringtone and I picked the MP3 from the folder. The sound was too loud so I change the volume in the Volume setting "Notification volume". And it sounds fine.
Now I go to set a new Voice Call ringtone - my phone vibrates a little bit, goes black for a few seconds, then vibrates twice and brings up an error message...
"The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I hit Force Close, and it takes me back to my app window page.
I go back to try and change it back, and now I get the same vibrations and error message when I try to open my Notification ringtone settings.
So now I can't change anything in those settings anymore, I get nothing but errors.
Things I've tried...
Fully rebooted. nothing.
Erasing the MP3s that "supposedly" caused this mess. nothing
I don't have my phone rooted or any crazy stuff like that, it's plain bare bones. This is the first time I've tried loading sounds on my phone, I've always used stock sounds that came with the phone.
Is there a way to fix this, do I need to go back to a stock format to fix it?
Worse possible time to get this to happen on a holiday weekend.
I would greatly appreciate any help that is needed to help with this issue. Thank you in advanced.
What version are u one. Ie ee19, ec10? Can find this is settings,about phone
Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
I'd reccomend just using zedge or a program similar to find a more acceptable ringtone not that what you did shouldn't work. Also may want to either try going into settings, manage applications clearing the data in the system app you were using, or use the 3 button method to boot into recovery if all else fails and do a factory reset.

That was a issue with the ec10 build if I'm not mistaken. That's why I was curious. But I do agree. Zedge is freakin awesome.
Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
Thanks so much for the Zedge app. I can't believe they had the ringtones, and notifications on there.
Now I don't have to factor reset my phone.
Thanks you very much!
I'm trying to use a custom ringtone in CM10.0, android 4.1.2. On my previous ICS phone, i just placed the ringtone in "/sdcard/Ringtone" (the internal sd card partition). It worked forever. In addition to this, i had two custom alarms. I placed them in "/sdcard/Alarms" (internal) and they worked flawlessly. No issues whatsoever.
I tried the exact same setup on CM10 on my phone, and nothing. Rebooted. Nothing. Tried other folders, like "/sdcard/media/audio/notifications". Nothing.
None of my ringtones (and even alarms) show up in my menus when i try to select the default ringtone under "sounds" in settings.
Any ideas???
i use something called "signalcheck pro" on my phone and it placed two "custom notifications" in the "notifications" directory on my internal sdcard. they were called "chimes_sc.mp3" and "venture_sc.mp3". my custom alarms and ringtone are also MP3s.
the "chimes" and "venture" notification appeared in the notifications list when i go into sound settings. so, having a working model to work from, i moved them to a network file server. i didn't modify the 1s and 0s of them in any way. after removing them, they disappeared from the "notifications" list. this makes sense.
when i moved them back to the exact same "notifications" directory, they DIDN'T SHOW BACK UP.
THIS MAKES NO SENSE. I REBOOTED AND THEY STILL DIDN'T COME BACK.
THAT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL

Using Root Explorer, try to copy your ringtone mp3 file to /system/media/audio/ringtone. And alarm mp3 file to /system/media/audio/alarm. And don't forget to change the following files to right permission (rw-r--r--). It would be better if you remove 1 or 2 ogg files from that folder. Then reboot your device and see what happen.
Do it with your own risk. And I hope you have backup before doing this modify

I received my wireless charging receiver today, so I installed it and tried it out on my existing (From S3) Qi charging pad. Seemed to work OK.
Tonight I put the phone on the pad and it starts playing "Over the Horizon" from the speaker. Over and Over again. The only way to get it to stop is to re-boot, but if I put in on the charging pad, it plays that damn song again.
I am rooted, completely stock (including recovery) using towel root. I manually replaced the 2 framework files for the hotspot fix, which is all I really care about. Knox is not tripped.
I have used root explorer to rename all instances of "Over_the_Horizon.mp3" to 'notOver_the_Horizon.mp3' including the one labled as media preview. (Samsung must be very proud of this track, I count at least 6 instances on the device.)
I have renamed the charging connected sound to *.bak, and I get no sound from a usb charger, its just the wireless charger.
There is nothing in the task bar to indicate something is playing music. There is no task to kill that I can find. I have used the stock recovery to clear caches, didn't work. Volume control has no effect until sound is off.
This is driving me a little nuts.
The temp solution is to turn off all sound, but there has to be a better way, so I'm asking. I'm sick of this song. Please Help.
Solution Found
OK, here is what I did to solve this problem.
Re-flashed NE5. This restored all my system/media/audio/ui files. I had renamed some and deleted some because I don't like them.
The trick is that if the 'WirelessChargingStarted.ogg' file is not found because of deletion or even renaming, the default file (that damned) 'Over_the_Horizon.ogg' will play. Then because it's an error condition, it will keep playing forever, or until re-boot, whichever happens first.
So, I renamed a file that is not obnoxious (Pen_att_note1.ogg) and renamed it 'WirelessChargingStarted.ogg after renaming the original to .bak. This has solved my problem.
I have re-rooted with towel root and reinstalled the hotspot hack and all is well. When I charge my phone, I now do not wake my wife.

I rooted my gear 2 and am now able to use my own ringtones and notifications without any problem. I pushed my own files (*.ogg) into /opt/share/settings/Alarms/ and renamed them to Alarm_TickTac.ogg, Alarms_on_call.ogg and Alarm_TickTac.wav (for a wav file). I got no sound at the end of a timer or an alarm set on the phone, so I deleted my own files and pushed the originals back. I still get no sound at the end of a timer or on an alarm set on the phone. Ringtones and notifications still work fine, but no alarm sounds. I've checked and rechecked the spelling of the filenames (including capitalization) and the permissions (ls -la) and everything SEEMS to be right. It just no longer works. I searched here and I spent half the night googling and trying to find similar problems and then I decided to just ask here. Anyone got any ideas? I DID want to be able to set my own sound for the alarm, but now I'd be happy just to get any sound back.

Thanks. I Did the first part of the guide (creating the sdb folder in the root of C and downloading those files. Then executing the batch file and it seemed to go fine. But then I moved to the second part - when I tried to run install-alarms.sh, it said command not found. It said the same for setup-folder.sh. And still no alarms sound. Of course, there's no files there now to sound. I deleted what was in /opt/share/settings/Alarms/ .
You mustn't be running tizen mod. The .sh scripts are included in his rom

I'm sure you're right. I had a Gear 1, and I DID run the tizen mod and had no problems like his. I just hadn't realized that there were more mods out there. Yeah, actually it's named Root GEAR 2 R380XXU0BNE5.rar. So, I'm thinking I should probably just run the tizen mod. It should install right over this one, shouldn't it?
Well I just tried flashing with TizenMod-Rom-SM-R380-NE5-by-Skin1980-v3.0 and Odin 3.09, and after a couple of seconds, I got the message "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)". I don't know where to go from here. A factory reset you think? There's nothing I'm attached to on that watch yet. Certainly nothing I can't redo quickly. I only got this watch Saturday.
Update: The watch isn't even ringing when I get a call. The notifications work - at least when I select them they play, but I just happened to be looking at the watch and I got a display of an incoming call, but there was no sound. Notification sounds DO work. But other sounds don't?
I did a factory reset and then tried the tizen mod with Odin again, and got exactly the same result. Failed after a few seconds. So there must be something there that didn't get reset that tizen can't mod. But now I have alarm sounds. But I have those obnoxious camera sounds and I can't customize ringtones or notifications. Maybe I should flash back to the original ROM and then do the tizen mod? Any idea where I'd get the original factor ROM?
Update: It works fine. I shouldn't do this when I'm sleep deprived. After a factory reset, USE debugging had gotten turned off again, so of course it failed. I fixed it, put the watch in download mode, ran odin and flashed it, and now I have my custom ringtones, notifications AND alarms and everything works great. Many thanks!
Oh sorry for some reason I didn't see these posts. Til now. Yeah reseting always disables usb debugging. To save time next time you reset. I've created an aio batch file to flash everything in 1 go. Head over to the tizen original development forum and take a look

This is a new problem... i originally deleted the settings for media storage after reading that that would get rid of the 3 times my ringtones were showing up in my selection list (when they only exist in one location.... i tried to make sure they werent duplicating themselves, the first 2 were silent and the 3rd was the real file.). so deleting that got rid of the 3 times thing, and i thought i had it licked. but every reboot, my phone forgets my ringtone setting... when i go to repick it, its not in the list, only the factory ones are.
Now, i *know* there is the work around of putting the one i want to use on the internal memory.... but thats kinda not the point... id like this to work properly. as it should. as it did before i reflashed. i reflashed the exact same rom and am using the exact same SD card.
upon googling and reading advice, i put a new folder on my sd card called media, and within there, ringtones, and notifications. (the site i read also recommended making one for alarms but i never use my phone as an alarm, ever. and the very rare time i will ill just pick a factory sound). As of right now, every reboot, i have to move the ringtone i want to use out from that folder, and then put it back in, causing media scanner to re-run, which then finally, once that is done, allows it to show up in the list along with the factory default choices.... but doing this every reboot just to have the sound i want is a ROYAL pain......... before i reflashed, it would forget what i had chosen on occasion, but at least then i could just go into the list and reselect it before... it didnt forget it existed, but only that i had chosen it. at the time that was a royal pain.... but now, id take that over whats been going on.
before reflashing i had a folder called "sounds" that it was able to see, all the time.... i had left it the same... but when my phone couldnt see that anymore, i looked for other ways of making it work.
Not sure if this is related but i have on occasion (2 or 3 times now) had my gallery forget about ALL of my pictures on external (whcih is where i keep all of them). deleting gallery data at least fixes that, and that doesnt happen every reboot either.
and before anyone asks, there is no ".nomedia" file in with my ringtones, or in with any of my pictures.
advice anyone??
anyone?? Ive already tried everything google-able
