I just upgraded from a Droid Charge to a Droid Razr Maxx HD. I popped in my sd card and set my custom notification ringtones, but some of them don't play on the maxx. Is there any sort of bitrate consideration I need to worry about? They play fine on the charge and on my macbook pro.
Edit: I'm an idiot, my notification volume was all the way down. I couldn't find a way to delete this post. I apologize to anyone who reads it now.
After moving my mp3 file into the SD/media/audio/notifications folder, I had to reboot.
Downside i found was that the file I used doesn't play as loud as the stock sounds.

I used MixZing Player to set my MP3 as ringtones...

Hey guys,
I've been making my own ringtones with my phones for a while. Can anyone tell me what tech specs audio files should have to work as ringtones? I remember back on certain phones, if the quality was too high, it actually took the phone too long to play out the audio and interfered with your ability to answer.
Thanks for any help.
haven't run into any problems with using mp3's as ringtones easy rule of thumb is not to use the whole song since it won't play cut it down to 30 -45 seconds.
All I use are mp3 (320 kbps)files, I just use mp3 splitter and make them right on my device, haven't had any problems at all.
A new version has been ported and released on the Evo, with cloud sync working. Would love it on my Inc. running SR3.5
Do you have a link?
hey fellas,
i don't think the app is new. a user over in the Evo section noticed that after flashing the latest CM7 build and replacing the stock Music.apk with the Honeycomb music app already floating around his sych/cloud services started to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980018
Here's a link to the Honeycomb Music apk:

I installed it and it worked for me and my music synced in the cloud!
wait, so its already working for our Inc's? Does it have lock screen controls? That was another thing missing from the first leaked version. Also does it improve the volume levels at all? I have to listen at full volume for some songs. Im dying for a new music player, stock one is so bland.
I am not sure about the lock screen controls but I was able to install the apk and it played all the music

Does the cloud sync work?
anyone know how to get ringtones, system sounds, (non music) to stop showing up in the music app? i would like to see only music
I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone quite yet, it has a lot of bugs I noticed after just a couple minutes:
1) No lock screen controls
2) Notification shows content://media/external/...blah blah instead of the song name
3) The pause/next feature present while browsing your library disappears once you hit next (it's possible this was intentional but I tend to believe it's always supposed to be there so you can keep skipping while browsing)
4) Pure music widget crashes when trying to launch app (may be related to #5, not sure).
5) Not sure why, but after I tapped the notification a few times, now I can't even use it. Every time I play a song, it skips to the next one and keeps skipping every second or two to the next song. A reboot did not resolve the issue. The album art displays "buffering" before it skips, so maybe it has something to do with cloud sync, which I didn't play around with, other than selecting my google account in the settings.

Pure music never worked with Gingerbread according to my experience.
One more problem/thing I overlooked: what about shuffle and repeat?
Thanx for the info Xidexl, thats all I needed to know. Guess ill stick with stock. Hopefully new SR will come with a new player.
Couldn't we just rip the final version off of the xoom then that would fix the issues we're having with bugs and I've also seen the one on the xoom and it seems to be a bit different

Is there any way to improve the sound quality, its not horrible but Im wondering if it is, on here Ive seen something like this for the galaxy S2
"samsung-galaxy-s2-sii-via-dsp-manager-cyanogenmod-7-music-player" guess you all will have to google it without the quotes because I cant post links right now since Im new, but it should be the first link that comes up.
Do I need to have CyanogenMod installed (Which we cant right now of course) to use this or is it just the player ripped from there and I can install like a regular rooted app
If I'm not mistaken it should just be a simple apk. You can dump it in your system apps folder or install it normally. Those apps.are just heavily skinned and tweaked to work with a broader spectrum of devices. If.you get the music player can u upload it here as well?

Yeah, go to settings/audio effects and you can set two different profiles, one for the phone speaker and one for the headphone port, check it out.

By default the music player has a bunch of horrible sound effects enabled. Turn them off and I think you'll find it's much better.
settings - audio effects
thanx for the input I went through and compared it with the stock and poweramp and im not noticing an extreme improvement in the sound to justify removing the stock music app Ill just stick with poweramp and i did turn off the audio effects and it does sound much better too
Really the music app im referring to isnt that great either to me its simple which is ok but I like the functionality for poweramp better ie.. player screen available when locked etc... but Ill try to remember to post a link up once Im back on my comp but if you dont want to wait for me to post the app up you can google what Ive got in quotes and it should be the first link
PA is my music player of choice too.

There is something very wrong with my Droid RAZR HD root and I'm hoping maybe someone out there can connect the dots and tell me how to fix these problems.
Problems:
1) Rocket Player is having some problems. It can't seem to find videos on my phone, both internal storage and my external SD card. But it gets weird. Rocket Player can find one video. But only one. And that video is in the same folder as 200 other videos. All are mp4s. Why does it only see that one? I have no idea. Even if I tell it to ignore .nomedia files it still only finds that one file. I can even play those 200 videos with Rocket Player via my file explorer. I reinstalled the app which fixed nothing. I then realized there was another problem with Rocket Player. All my playlists are empty which might just be from the reinstall, but the add songs to playlist button is unresponsive. And trying to add songs to a playlist from the songs list doesn't work either. The playlist stays empty. It still finds all my songs though.
2) My TubeMate app is acting weird as well. The video player that comes with it has a slightly different slider. This means that something must have changed with my phone because the app was not touched beforehand.
3) My app Anime Series is having problems too. When you click on an episode there is a popup with two options. This is normal. The first option is "custom", which displays the apps that you can use to play the episode. This list is empty even though just a few days ago it had ES Video Player, Rocket Player, Media Player, etc. The app was not modified in any was and all those apps that should be in the list are still on my phone. So why is it not working? The second option is "play" which uses Anime Series's own video player to play the episode. This comes up with an error that disappears very quickly so I can't read it or take a snapshot of it.
If you hasn't noticed all these problems have to do with videos and they all started happening around the same time.
Things I did right right before this started:
1) Moved my TWRP backups to my computer.
2) Uninstalled Circles and Google Text to Speech.
3) I downloaded a software update released OTA and after doing a temp unroot with OTA Root Keeper, I installed it. My phone restarted as usual and once fully on a popup stated that the update failed. I then did a TWRP backup and downloaded the update again. This time, the phone restarted but showed a green Droid with a polygon shape on top of it. The progress bar got to what would be about 40% percent and then the polygon was replaced with a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it, clearly stating the update failed. The phone restarted and sure enough another update failed popup popped up.
Please help me fix my phone.
I can't say what is going on with the video issue but you are failing update because you deleted system apps. The circles widget and text to speech. In order to update, you have to have all apps your phone originally came with.

Anybody know if this is possible? I have managed to change boot animation to a much better animation rather than the boring stock "Nvidia powered by android" one.
But...
I have no idea how to add a sound on boot. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I really want to add that whispered Nvidia sound.
Will sound awesome if its possible.

What sound format? Tried mp3 and ogg. I can get repackaged animation to boot but won't trigger the sound. Worth noting that it doesn't like files zipped by es explorer (even when set to store) for some reason Bizarre..... I think it must add slight compression still.
