Zeus Rom custom ringtones not working - Samsung Infuse 4G

For some reason my contacts ringtones have quit working and my phone ringtones plays for everyone. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this and what the solution may be?

Well, nevermind. I installed Ringo from the Market and it worked that way. I had tried setting the contact ringtones thru both the system contacts as well as GoContacts and neither worked. But this did. Weird.
Anyone understand this?

it is working quite well

I don't understand why you all feel the need to respond to a post that is a few days old...and one where he/she even figured it out on his own.
Your sarcastic remarks do nothing to help the situation. Either politely help the guy out, whether it be pointing him in the right direction or even answer his question in the process...or don't post at all.
Zeus is not my rom, but its under The Collective umbrella now, and we just don't run our show that way.

last i looked this was the XDA board and forum not
the collectives
did i go to the wrong website ? maybe there was a redirect and i didn't see it

Nun is right... but the only thing that irritates me is if you will look in general and [email protected], there are 7 Zeus threads created by people who don't feel like posting in the actual Zeus [email protected] thread. That's why I don't answer in these threads anymore, I have pointed and pointed people in the right direction to Zeus thread til I'm blue in the face. I think everyone should at least ask where it is, rather than start a multitude of threads... I can't be all over the place at one time, the reason I have a [email protected] thread, lol.... just stating the facts. But nun is right, the noob bashing needs to stop(me included) we are more adult than that..

No...not my boards. Just try to get the users of our roms on the same page as us. That is all. And if users of our roms...noob or otherwise...get treated poorly, just want them to know that its not our philosophy. We try not to put down users who need help, even when it comes to forum etiquette.
Not your style...fine. Just keep it out of our threads. Please and thanks.

You can't really blame them as they've put up with people who thought they were too good for the rules for so damn long. We'll ignore the fact that when you first show up in the Infuse forums, there's a forum labeled Q&A. Common sense would dictate that maybe questions should go there.
So you already showed a lack of common sense by skipping over a forum plainly labeled Q&A for all the world to see. After running blindly past that forum you ended up here in the development section. I mean yeah you really shouldn't be tossing random questions here but I could see how it could confuse you, here you see TWO CM7 threads, wow you hit the jackpot!
But once again instead of taking a minute to check those posts out, instead of using the handy dandy search tool up there ^ and instead of at least posting in one of the other CM7 related threads, you decided to say **** IT to common sense and created a brand new thread for your question.
You aren't special, the question has been asked and answered elsewhere, go forth and find the answer you seek.

I would have hoped that after 46 posts you would have some idea of where to post things, but I guess not. Ya, it was a sarcastic (yet funny) reply, brush it off and move on.
i mean cmon dude. its a question. if you connect the dots, it can easliy lead you to the Q&A... i do not see one bit of android development here... development of flaming is freaking blossoming though.
Oh but he's too good for the Q&A section... He needs a thread in the busy development section all for himself and his most important question!

our devs who left left for a better phone with better software support that isn't held back by that carrier since it can have software ported from the international version but they each may build one last rom when att drops gb, mikey is still answering in his thread and he and gtg both indicated that they may give it one last shot when the official gb drops. also entropy is still here, though he also got a gs2.

dude it's the internet, dont be so sensitive. oh and ask a mod to move this to Q&A never mind just ask it to be closed. when you get to Q&A you will se that there is a cm7 Q&A thread already there, plus closing this will stop the flaming.
what was that question again? it got lost in the flaming and belligerent defense of ignorance. a lot of us when we are newbs do something against the rules and get our peepee spanked for it. you are not unique. defending yourself sounds a bit like "hey i dont know the rules even though they are stickied in multiple forums in bold letters, why should i have to follow rules i dont know?" sorry to be a **** but this is the internet and that's how it is.
Slow down guys--if you think the thread doesn't belong in a certain area, simply report it.
Anyhow, moved to the appropriate section.

Slowly, more and more, I think the same thing as you.
I respond to these threads trying to help. The user (op) is at square one and has no clue what to do. Regardless of how many sticky threads or putting stuff in your signature to help inform users of how to get help and what the rules are, they still just randomly flash things and say "It doesn't work" without telling you what didn't work.
Personally, I don't see this issue as often on other forums. Maybe xda-developers has a power that draws in clueless newbs that won't listen to anyone or read.
If another 15yo emails me about helping with kernel stuff and has no clue what shell scripting is, I'm going to bail from XDA.
I've spent a lot of time lurking, helping, and reading... like the rest of you. I have my own *life* problems to deal with as well.
Leaving XDA == winning

CyanogenMod9 for O2X and G2X (SelfKANG3)

I haven't seen this here. I'm wondering if anyone here knows about it. Either way, I hope it useful to someone. I have been using it for about a week. Its pretty stable. Go on over to http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18090-cyanogenmod9-for-o2x-and-g2x-selfkang3/ and check it out.
We all know about it. There are already 3 threads or something in General. There are also modded versions already in the dev section.
No need for a fourth thread.

Um, Kind of why I never write things here. People are dicks on this board. Um, I was just trying to be helpful. But um, thanks for the unnecessary comment. Um, I'm sure there is a mod around who's job it is to decide if a post should be deleted or not. Um, I am also sure they are very capable of doing said job as well. So Um, your suggestion to delete this thread, needs to be, um, deleted. Also, Um, thanks for pointing out that there is a reason why its not posted here and for using your super douchebag abilities to point out that there is a reason, but not actually informing me of the, um, reason. Um, I guess Ill just have to wait until someone with a greater ability to be a douche to explain in a more douchey way. Um.
Didn't know self Kang 3 was out.

Development section is for active developers of a ROM. Since we don't have RC participating here (he's on RootWiki) it doesn't belong on developer section.
The two developers that DO participate on XDA and have developed ICS based ROMs (HellFire and EagleBlood) have their own threads.
Thank you for participating.
Haha ok? Maybe you should read your post and compre it to mine to see who the bigger DB is. Im not the one posting in the dev section about unrelated topics. Yes it is a rom ....but not one that you compiled. I def didnt call you any names or over react to anything you posted. The thread that arcee created on rootz has been open a week. Dont you think if he wanted it here it would be? Its not people like me that gives xda a bad name.....its members like you sir that get pissed about comments and then start flaming

Don't get discouraged bro. It's a reason why you can't post it here. 1. In dev section you change log, screen shot, disclaimers and on top of that you must be dev or have the dev permission. (to open a thread). In the general section is where you should have made this thread and it would be called a information thread. And it's 1 or 2 already made for arcee ics.
Don't be disappointed it's the rules

Ha, "pissed", "flaming". Don't be so full of yourself. I simply out Douched you. I only use my Douche abilities to teach lesser douches how and when to douche. Also, the fact that you can't tell how much of a douche you are really concerns me. Yes, its people like you that ruin the experience of others. See info[]box1 @ 10:17. So if you are keeping count, on this particular thread, I have helped out more people than you. So it would seem as if it IS people like you who ruin the experience.

He didn't say ****. You're just mad that everyone pointed you out on a mistake you made. Calm down... Seriously you made a mistake, people pointed you out on it, own up to your mistake, end of story. Instead you're here flaming people for correcting you. Everyone here knows about RootzWiki. This is XDA, not RootzWiki and you're posting another person's work. This is the DEV section. Are you the developer? Do you see anyone else posting stuff they didn't develop? Look at the other threads in this section and compare them to yours. Now go to the general section and compare them to yours. They're alike. It's people like you that bring the bad out of people and make everyone here look like assholes. You're just being an idiot. Grow up.

If LG were to release ICS on the G2X? I see devs making great ROMs for it yet are hindered by a lack of drivers, which I assume would be part of an official ICS update. Any devs care to comment?

Not really. Pricks like him are abundant on forums, even the respected forums here on XDA. Still, just saying "what isn't working now will work" is not enough. With those broken features working, could devs be motivated to step up custom scripts and mods that go beyond even what's available now?

A lot of people are just disappointed with the same questions being asked like 5 times when you could just click a page or 2 back and see the same topic already discussed.

I don't know, I got my ass warmed for spamming, but then they hired me to spam professionally. I'm not trying to start anything, mt3g we've been down that road, accomplished nothing. Anyhow, my question is, and I understand basically, but why do you guys worry so much about people starting new threads? Its not using any storage space that would affect any of us. When a new thread is started, no matter if there's a thousand just like it, it promotes social gathering and in most cases, usefull information. But(never start a sentence with this), when you guys run your cruisers down here and go Gestapo on the op's, that's even more useless than the duplicate thread. Now, instead of a duplicate thread with new and useful information, its a duplicate thread with new and useful information that's been cluttered by flamers and rent-a-thread cops. Does it make sense? I'm really trying to be professional here, but guys, listen, I was a mod for 2 forums prior to working for XDA and I'm gonna tell ya, playing forum God got old within 5 minutes. You don't know our mods are not active, I got disciplined when I screwed up. Maybe you're wrong about starting new threads?Buru, I really respect you and your work and I really don't like disagreeing with you. I hope that I don't jeopardize our getting along. It just needs to be said that there are as many people fed up with the vigilante moderating, if not more, than those fed up with duplicate thread starters. Look at it like this, has any of the thread copping payed off? No. Did anyone active in thread copping become mod or get hired? No. Now, do I really need to say anymore? Just look at all I just cluttered this thread up with.......... thread copping........, unproductive. If you disagree with me, that is your right if you live in the united states, this is XDA, I don't care if you disagree with me, you don't have XDA signing your checks.
[email protected]
And I could care less if they do sign yours, I'm not trying to mod or be a cop, I would like to come to a forum that I enjoyed for about 3-4 years until lately. This is the sloppiest and most unorganized phone e section I've read... the MyTouch 3G and G1 are still modded it seems, the O2X is incredibly controlled... the tempo and mood would be a lot better and here from a lot of members some would stick around and others wouldn't leave. I'm surprised whitehawkX came back and EaglesBlood is still here... if I'm that big of a problem the mods will come and say something to me and I will behave but until then.... deal with me I guess.

Wow. Are your saying because there are threads that I guess are beneath you or a liitle repetitive, that the developers should up and leave a phone that they love?

How did you get any of that from what I said? Quote specifically please, and I will reiterate what was confused... I would never want that! That's the only reason I'm still with the g2x, I'm saying the repetitiveness of useless threads ("how do you update baseband, and how come I hear these noises when I call someone after installing this rom, I'm coming from 2.3.4 I received yesterday.") anything of that nature is what's wrong with this forum.

I'm coming to the G2x from a few other Android phones (LG Optimus V & Motorola Triumph) and it was hard to find the relevant and important info here even though I've written guides & developed for other Android phones before.
There's no need to depend on moderators, just a default thread to point everyone to with a FAQ section (maybe eventually sticky it or put it on the top of the stickied thread). Then it should be updated regularly by a person with good writing skills. or even a wikipage on github that a select few can update so the burden isn't on one person. Anyway I know it's towards the end of the G2x's lifecycle (until official ICS maybe), so none of this may matter, but just suggesting for future reference. Good, clean, & simple documentation prevents a lot of repeated questions.

Skyrocket Section Etiquette

ok so this is to help keep the peace i am posting this on top of the forum rules they may overlap or intersect. My goal here is to help keep down on the issues of repeat threads, wrong sections, trolling, and any other hijinx that comes here.
1. SEARCH
yes sometimes its hard especially on your phone with taptalk because we all know how that works. Solution: Try using google search using keywords such as xda, skyrocket, and whatever your issues is this always works for me.
If your on a computer use xda's built in search tool or google as i stated above.
I personally promise 90% of all issues can be found on the web with answers if you just take a few minutes to search
2. IF ITS A QUESTION IT BELONGS IN Q&A
It does not matter what the question pertains to it is a question and belongs in Q&A i have reported tons of these here recently having them moved. i know you think that its a general question but no it belongs in Q&A ok.
3. READ
This one is kinda broad for a reason here we go
If you ask a question within a thread at least have the decency to read the last few pages to see if anything comes up that may answer your question im not talking the whole thread but maybe 3 or so pages. The reason for this is that i have seen alot of threads where people have a question answered then not 2 or 3 posts later the same question comes up. This leads to cluttering of the thread making it much harder for others to find information.
This also goes along with wanting to make a thread look at like 3 pages of threads to make sure you dont have a reapeat post this thing happens alot again it comes from lack of attention.
4. TROLLING/FLAMING
This ones a big one and im a massive perp for this and will be the first to admit it.
We need to stop the trolling its just getting worse and not fixing anything yes its hard to ignore especially for us old timers but we need to set the standard now this forum is too big for us to be going on like we have been.
Solution: squash the issues by reporting if you wanna report multiple times fine get your buddies to report fine but lets stop the hate i personally am working on this as well.
i know you guys are gonna ignore this and whatever but my hope is the message gets across to you guys and makes this section a more peaceful place for all

You might mention in the OP that the best way to Google search the forums in to prefix the search with:
site:forum.xda-developers.com
So to search for 'skyrocket ics update' within the xda forums only would be:
site:forum.xda-developers.com skyrocket ics update
Also you could add links to the existing threads stickied in Dev. We all know their stickied for a reason, but many people overlook them and head straight for the new thread button
If you are going to help somebody, have the courtesy to check back on the thread so you know they are in the right direction.

forget pinning it.. this should be the first thing you see in like, 48 point font, obnoxious colors, when you open the forum.
