Folks, good morning,
Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. In my exuberance to changer ROM's and Kernels, I have somehow deleted all my stock notification sounds. Without performing a factory reset, pulling the stock sounds from the device, restoring my backup image, and then transferring back the sounds: is there a means for me to access the factory firmware to pull the sounds, or are the sounds available 'somewhere' where I can download? Specifically I want the whistle sound back.
Thanks for the support!

It seems that every time I flash or update new ROM, even if I fully wipe, I get duplicated sounds and ringtones when choosing a ringtone or notification sound. Yet my media sounds folder only has one copy and so does zedge. Anyone has any clue on how to fix that?
I got it figured out.
It turns out Android looks everywhere for sounds and ringtones. I did a full search with root explorer and found duplicates. Just deleted and then wiped cache in recovery and reboot.
Hey everyone,
wasn't sure if this was a ROM specific glitch so posting it here. Basically, I use Reaper 2.1 and it's incredible. But recently it's gone a bit strange.
I had audiobooks on my phone, and last week it started playing them instead of message notifications (I use Mortplayer for them, and it didn't run when this happened). I had to delete the audiobooks to make it stop. But then, it didn't play any sounds, nor was there any vibration.
The phone doesn't seem capable of saving my sound settings at all. I change them all, and the next time I get a notification it's silent, or plays a sound I've never heard! (a random one from the list)
I stuck it on vibrate when I was waiting for a call, and lo and behold it didn't vibrate.
It's really weird and I just can't think what would have caused it. Any ideas before I full wipe and reinstall Reaper or a fancy new ICS ROM? Forgot to backup earlier, it was all going too well!

Try Titanium Backup from the Android market (now Google Play). Not only does it backup apps, it restores data and settings. Works nearly always. Even across Android versions, say from ICS to GB or Froyo. And all these can be achieved with the free version.
On the flip side, a full wipe thereafter is recommended. You might want to try Primo-S (Sense 4.0 on ICS) for a fancy ROM
Hi everyone,
a couple of weeks ago I had to send my One S in for repair, as the soft keys (back/home/recent apps) were absolutely unresponsive (slightly off topic, but: this happened after I used the phone as a car GPS on a 13h road trip. Could this have caused it or was that just coincidence?).
Once I got it back, I re-rooted it and restored everything (system apps and data included) from a backup made shortly before I sent it in (using Titanium Backup). That, however, made my phone lose all push message capabilities, so I emptied the user and system app cache and deleted all user and system app data, which brought push capabilities back to life again. Yet, ever since then, the quick start icons (phone/sms/e-mail/camera) aren't showing up on my lock screen anymore and when I try changing background images in HTC's Personalization app, there are no images to chose from.
I'd like to try fixing this by restoring individual app data in Titanium Backup, but I wouldn't know which apps would be of interest here. Could anyone help me out with this?
Cheers,
uø
Hello intelligent people at xda
ok, so here's my problem: (see attached images)
the notification drawer on my nexus 5 is acting strangely. Its not displaying the notification (widget) as it should for any notification widget that has play, pause, stop etc. such as Play Music, Tunein, and Viral. The widget also fails to update. (If I change the track, it fails to update the name.) The controls WORK i.e. i can still pause, skip track etc. however, there is obviously some glitch/bug with this.
All other notifications that don't require "active" controls, such as gmail, hangouts etc. working normally...even if i expand it.
This problem came totally out of the blue! The only "tinkering" that ive done with my phone today is that i removed xposed framework COMPLETELY (flashed the included disabler.zip) because i missed ART (dalvic feels sluggish). After i switched to ART, i noticed this issue. So then I switch back to davic to see if it persists - and unfortunately, it does.
Plz help me (a noob). Any suggestions to what i can do to fix it?

yes if you directly flash..
no if you use titanium backup to backup your apps
and apps like super backup for messages,contacts and call logs...
your internal storage data like movies,pictures will not be wiped...
all your apps will be lost but you can backup and restore them via titanum backup...
read the Rom thread carefully before flashing if you are new to flashing roms..
please dont skip any step in rom thread

i did as you said, and retained all my info. its fixed now.
Still curious though as to wtf actually caused it...
So I got all wrapped up in the new TouchWiz Grace UX beta project. Specifically --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/developer-base-stock-deodexed-touchwiz-t3400611
I downloaded to sd. Booted into recovery. Factory Wiped via TWRP and installed the ROM. While there are minor updates like the icons and a couple new apps, my settings, notification drawer etc did NOT change to the Grace UX. On top of that I've now lost the ability to make/receive calls. The phone and contact app are gone completely. Frustrated and disappointed, I wiped the phone again to revert back to stock and the issue is still here. What now?
I'm running 6.0.1 on jovi's Stock_Modified Kernel. Any thoughts?
