Hi, the problem I've been having is that I cannot change my ringtone at all; I've tried installing mp3 files into the ringtone folder, I've tried using apps to change the ringtone but it's been to no avail; for some strange reason it stays on 'Whistle' no matter how many times I change it... the phone has been rooted, and is running CM10 - and has been flashed through zip files on my sdcard. The problem didn't happen after I rooted, it's always been this way.
You try changing it within the messaging app/gmail/talk app, or just in the settings? What rom you on? Have you changed permissions on the ring tones you added?

I'm currently in the 'talk' app, which linked me to a webpage/help page... checking now; and though no change. Still uses the 'Whistle' notification.
Go into a root explorer app and see if your permissions look like this...

\my apologies, didn't answer the earlier questions fully. I'm using CM10 - I've tried changing it under settings/sound/default notification(phone ringtone). Not sure how to grant it permission...

Permissions look like that, yes.
Download ES file explorer from play store. Open it. Press soft menu button. Press settings. Scroll to root settings. Make sure all boxes are checked and allow super user rights. Back out to files. Press the button on the top row with an up arrow and a folder (or something like that). Scroll to system folder->media -> audio-> notifications->scroll to tone you want and long press it till a menu pops up->scroll to properties ->select permissions box. Should look like my screen shot.

Yep, I've changed it in the 'Talk' app settings as well; still no change. Verified just now after changing the notification tone again.
Hmmm... I am stumped then man. Sorry, maybe a bad flash. You could try just wiping cache and dalvik and flashing rom over top of itself in case something went wrong in the first flash.

This has definitely spurred my curiosity. I've not seen anything like it before. You say in your 1st post that this was going on when you were on stock rom too? If so, it sounds like a buggy phone. Maybe try going back to stock, un root and try for a warranty replacement.

I just flashed Rebel rom and its amazing. But I just hate the sony launcher. so, can I just download the blur home from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23730009&posted=1#post23730009 and just throw it in system/app to get the moto home back?
I havent tried it but you can always try making a nandroid backup and flashing the CWM on boot just in case you get in a bootloop and that way you can go restore just your system....make sure you set permissions to rw and I recommend root explorer vs es explorer.

Just do not delete the Ericson home unless the moto blur home does work. Let me kniw asap if it does work. I dont think youll have many issues but then again im not a dev so proceed with caution.

I'm iffy on whether or not to do it or not without a devs approval. And I am far too lazy at the moment to flash CWM on boot. (I am typing this in between BFBC2 games) so I may do that later or not. I just want to see if I have approval to move it from my root to system/app
Ok, I just copied my blurhome.apk to system/app and nothing happened. I then went to settings>apps>all apps>and cleared the default on my launcher, hit my home button, choose home and everything worked flawlessly.....
It even has the ics launcher icons.....
Edit: Rebooted the phone and everything seems slick and smooth with motohome ics themed on rebel ROM beta 2....

You might have to download something called moto home home fixer off the market to actually set it as your default.

I use super manager for my root explorer and it says (not installed) next to blurhome2.apk. and when I click moto home it says not a motoblur device. how do i install it in system? Do I have to reboot first?
Try root browser. That's what I used. Delete super explorer and delete the blur home 2 out of the system and retry with root browser

Make sure to set the permissions right, they're all rw-r--r-- except for the lib I believe

Make a file called .forcefaceunlock in /sdcard
/sdcard/.forcefaceunlock
Install gapps
Go into Settings > Security and set up your face unlock there.
The only way I've gotten the phone to unlock using face unlock is using the horizontal lock screen.
Rom control > lockscreen options > horizontal lockscreen.
When it asks you for a pattern, turn the phone sideways, you'll be able to see an image from the ffc.
It unlocks fine for me.

The ffc actually had been fixed.
And as for getting it work,i did exactly what Juls said to go. Put all the files where they are supposed to be in /system, then put facelock in system apps. For permissions, check all the boxes in the first column, and the first box in the second column. Reboot, then it should be an unlock option in settings
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Yea except you're probably gonna be missing some libs if you don't let the zip do it. If you read the updater-script and the shell scripts that it uses to install the files you'd know exactly which files are needed. Follow the instructions I posted, it's a lot easier flashing a zip via recovery.
Yea it turns out i got the option in the settings, but it didn't actually come up in the lock. So what was the link for that zip again?

I did. And yes it only works in horizontal lock screen.
I looked into it and apparently it was working in AOKP build 39 but something in build 40 broke it so we're probably gonna need to wait until the AOKP team releases build 41 so we can sync their source code, or wait until someone adds a patch to the lockscreen repo so I can pull it and build a new version with the fix. For now you're gonna need to use the lockscreen as horizontal.
Since face unlock was fixed in AOKP, does anyone have a working, face unlock .zip they can share? All help would be appreciated.

I think it's the camera quality. I use the option to "Improve face unlocking" quite bit, in different light, and angles. Use that a lot, then it should be a bit better.

You shouldn't need to redo the accounts since it'll re-flash the same files and it SHOULDN'T touch your settings but hey make a nandroid if you're worried about it. You'll have a known-good copy in case things go wrong.

My backup pro, titanium backup etc. And you can backup your apps and data and SMS etc.
Then with you computer copy your internal card to the computer and then Odin.
Once back on a ROM you like, copy your stuff back to the internal card, restore with chosen backup program.
Won't feel any different.

Idk what happened here, did you maybe change the pixel density of your rom? I've never encountered an app glitch like this before.
Alternatively, if you want to use a different recovery then you could install TWRP Recovery using "GooManager" in the Play Store. Just hit Menu then select Install OpenRecoveryScript to install TWRP, it's all touch and fairly simple from there. Your pre-existing backups aren't compatible from CWM though.

You would know the pixel density is changed because you have to manually change it in the build.prop. You don't need to worry about it since you didn't do it. Plus, changing pixel density would alter the way your home screen and each app is displayed so it wouldn't be just one app that looked different.
