I am wondering if it is possible for me to get all the ringtones from my former Nexus S 4G for use on my Galaxy Note. I had over six notification noises for people and emails and it would make life easier if I didn't have to get used to new noises all over again.
tl;dr Can I get the stock Nexus S ringtones on my ATT Galaxy Note?
If yes, can someone get them to me?
Thank you.

How exactly do you get the ringtones from the ROM? Do you mean you downloaded the factory images and extracted it from that? or from the actual Nexus S phone? If so how would I do that? I have a Nexus S GSM phone and I wanted to pull off some of the notifications from that phone.
Thanks in advanced.

You have root explorer or smth like that, later copy /system/media/ringtones also notifications to your pc than plug another android phone you want copy those files to your sdcard and after that use file manager again and put them back to the new phone later set permisson and reboot. this is what i do always.

I have used Zedge before on other Android phone with no trouble. But I have the inspire now I can get the ringtone to work but the notification sound will not work. Is their a way to get it to work or a different app so I can get different notifications sounds other then stock?

I found a way around this. Download Ringdroid from the market. It let's you take songs or sound clips and make them into ringtones & such for your phone. Open whatever you want in that app then save it as a notification not a ringtone.

Did you install it via Titanium backup? or straight from the market?
I've been using zedge since my captivate, and now on my inspire with no issues. Have quite a lot of notification sounds in use right now I've gotten from Zedge.

How would I install titanium backup ? the ringdroid work good to now that I figure it out.
Keep an eye on that Zedge. This morning I was going through my SD card while plugged into my laptop and noticed that Zedge had created for itself a cache folder that was just over 185MB and contained over 5,000 files. That's a bit excessive for a wallpaper/sound app, in my opinion.

thanks. I have been deleting that ****.
I am wondering if there is a fix for this and am completely puzzled why Samsung and/or Google took this feature away on the Nexus...
So I threw in a couple of custom ringtones into my media/audio/ringtones folder in the Nexus S but noticed that the phone wouldn't loop the ringtones! Its rather annoying having it ring just once and stop. I understand there's programs that will loop the mp3 file a couple of times before I throw it in the folder but come on...that process shouldn't even be necessary...
Really weird...
Awesome ringtone included.
i saw a thread about it, but i guess only 4g devices were affected. as far as i remember, in that thread a sollution was not found, the OP just created a custom ringtone that loop by itself! =o)
Could just get a mp3 trimmer, make it last as long as it rings.
I have an nsg4, don't have this problem, might want to call your service support.

Waaaait a minute...you're saying that your custom ringtones loops without a problem? Even if you put it in the media/audio/ringtones folder???
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
I just saved audio clips from pic messages, looked in ringtones and they were there. But considering these models arnt consistent as far as functioning, might just be a glitch in my phone. Try getting a ringtone maker that has options for loop, and access your audio files through the app.
Like i said, might just be a glitch in my phone.

I feel like I can be helpful for once. It will loop ringtones if you convert the mp3 to OGG format, and in the file info (you can edit this in Winamp for example), create a field called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to TRUE.
Have a NS4G. Looping the instrumental from Yeah3X as current ringtone.

I purchased a motoactv and couldn't use the notification feature because the app is only able to be downloaded on a Motorola handset through Android Market. I have a HTC Sensation and i get the yellow banner in market.
I was wondering if someone maybe has the Motoactv apk and could lend it out?

you would get my eternal love and gratitude as well if you could post it! but how do you like yours so far MarsVoltron?
I love the concept of receiving notifications on my
Wrist since i always miss phone calls AND texts.
I just can't use the feature since I'm with HTC and not MOTO
I wish it did have more options for personalization, EQ for music, or use it as a remote to control music already on your Android device.
But until I get the MOTOACTV app its a big waste of cash.
Do you also have one?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I tried messing around with my Nook to fool the market into thinking it was a motorola, no luck so far. I hope somebody with a moto phone can get this apk!
I will have a Motorola Droid a little later. I looked on Motorola's list of compatible phones and it was listed.
I was wondering what would be the easiest way to pull the apk? It's my friends phone and don't wanna mess it up.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
The way I've done it is to just install mybackup from the market, back up the app to the sd card, put the sd card in the computer and open the folder it backed up to. There will be an apk right inside the folder.
Would love for this app to work with my HTC Glacier Mytouch 4G. The fitness tracker isn't cheap and I want the full functionality. A thank you in advance to anyone that can pull the apk.
Yeah I know exactly how you feel. I purchased it primarily for the the notification feature. My guess is we probably won't see anything till a little bit after the new Razr is launched.
But ill have a droid later and pull it from there.

i got the apk off a droid 2 but couldn't get it to install on my EVO, it would just fail saying application not installed, its attached in case any of you can figure out
after looking into it further it seems like the install fails because it requires access to com.motorola.blur.contacts.permission and blur.service.blur.Permissions.INTERACT_BLUR_SERVICE which both don't exist on my EVO...
anyone know a way around this?
Thanks for posting the apk. I found a way to remove the Blur permissions and it installed on my Samsung charge. I don't get the watch until tomorrow, but it looks like the app is working fine Someone with one check it out and let me know.

awesome...it worked! You da man! I don't know if future updates will install but this is definitely awesome, can you share how you removed the permissions so I'll know how to do it for future updates?
by the way...just tested it with my EVO and the watch and it works great, tried a few test txts and got the notification on the watch, and it listed the contact name too
Awesome I'm glad it works! I just searched around xda for some info on editing apk files and found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
Once you get it extracted there is a file named AndroidManifest.xml I opened it with notepad deleted the blur permissions, then used that app to repackage and sign the app. It was kind of a crap shoot on my part but it worked the first try
Awesome! Great job loaded on and paired with my watch perfectly I just have a problem receiving calls through the watch. Doesn't ring or anything with or without a headset attached.

whenever i go to install it says "problem parsing package" any ideas? I'm on rooted device but i doubt thatd be it.
What phone do you have?
You may want to try to re-download the apk. and restart your phone and try again

Did you unzip the app first? I guess I didn't really need to zip it, try this one.
Thanks
Thanks guys have it installed on my Casio Commando, It is working great with text messages.
I dont have it working with phone calls but I think it is because I have standard headphones installed (no microphone) I will test that later.
Thanks a million
This is my first post but as someone who is striving to lose 30 more pounds after losing 55, this is awesome work. I own the EVO and this connectivity was the dealbreaker for me. For Motorola-tied huge to google to hitch their wagon to only Moto phones is a joke, especially on a device that runs Android.
Enough of my rant, thanks again for enabling this on other phones!!

I might be wrong on this, but you might need to pair the headset with the phone and not the watch. So both the watch and the headset are paired with the phone, give it a try.
Any ringtone we make for my gfs skyrocket doesn't work. Just a loud crackle. We are using ringdroid. Os there something we need ti do to get them to work. Normal ringtones work except ones we make. I am a moto guy atm myself so samsung is new ti me. If I am missing something let ne know. Thanks.

Noone? I imported using ringdroid the same way I do on my bionic but the songs just play a loud scratch sound for less than a second and then stop. The phone is brand new just about. I rooted it and installed a few apps but I am not sure what would be causing the problem.
I guess this is an isolated problem I am having
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA
For anyone that gives a damn, the issue was that ringdroid was moving the ringtones to anonline unknown location, possibly a read only folder, which was glitching bad on playback (it wouldn't). The fix was to for into my sd card and go to the media--> audio-> ringtones folder and place them there. What a pita, is there a way to make ringdroid send my ringtones to this folder instead?

Juicy I am having the same problem. I'm a little bit of a newbie with the Skyrocket. Would you mind going into detail about how to fix it? Myxer and Ringdroid do the same thing.
Zedge doesn't have that problem.
Had this problem too, downloaded a different app to do the same job.

In regards to sammy phones, I believe ringtones go to system>media>ringtones/notifications/alarms/video folder.
CM10 is like this as I'm pretty sure TW is as well.
I have a old Nexus s 4g from sprint that I was thinking about turning into a smart MP3 player and totally removing the phone abilities and giving it to my son. Anybody know a easy way of doing this? ROM ideas?
Thanks

You have to be rooted to remove system apps...
Yep, the last three phones have been rooted day 1 of each. I just would have thought more needed to be done than just uninstalling the phone apps.
I heard Voodoo sound can improve the sound quality, might try to install it.
