Kit Kat default notification issues - Android General

Just upgraded my Nexus 7 to 4.4 and tried to restore my previous sounds and notifications to the /system/media folder but it somehow messed things up and the copied over ogg files don't play correct (just plays default chime).
I'm rooted using twrp on stock ROM.
Any input would be appreciated, not sure what to try short of reloading/wiping the device.

[Q] (Q) Restore deleted Sense Music App

Hello All,
yesterday i installed Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 on my Sensation.
Overall, it was going well, except for the music player that was always force closed everytime i tried to play music.
My bad, i accidentally uninstalled the Music App from my phone. I tried to restore that, but i can't figure out how to do it.
Then i tried re-Flashing the ROM. Before reFlashing, i backed up all data on my phone using ClockworkMod. After i flashed the ROM, the music app returned. After that, i restored my phone using backup file i created in CWM before.
After Restoration complete, i cant find the music app just like when i deleted it.
I guess CWM backed up all the data and my phone's state including all the Apps and Sense UI.
Anyone can help me restore my music app?
thanks
A Clockwork mod backup totally backs up a rom, bit for bit. If you restore a CWM backup, you will lose any currently installed rom setup. Just take the Sense Music apk out of a rom.zip and drop it in /system/app using Root Explorer. Then reboot and you're probably set. Make sure you set the app's permissions to RW R R or it won't work (all doable in Root Explorer).
i have pulled two files from Rom.Zip :
com.htc.musicwidget.apk
htcmusicenhancer.apk
and put them in /system/app folder.
I Also set the permission too and then restarted my phone.
But i still cant find music app, did i miss another file?

[Q] Flashing older applications

Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody knew how to flash older applications onto kit kat.
I'm currently running 4.4 stock, rooted.
Specifically, I wanted to port a Music.apk from Shostock 2.3.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353513).
I tried copying the Music Player.apk onto my Nexus system/app but when I try to run the app, it says 'Unfortunately Music has stopped'
Is there some way to port it, or is it because it's too old?
IOr perhaps someone knows of a different stock application that looks similar (I attached a screenshot of it)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I guess this isn't possible?

Help with m8 writing to anything

I got a an m8 yesterday and got it fully permarooted, loving it so far, flashed the GPE Rom and it runs great.
But....
Neither stock or roms seem to have correct permissions. Stock Rom won't allow me to open sqlite db in settings to unhide the power saving mode, it won't allow me to fix permissions, and it won't allow me to delete files from my external card, only internal. I thought it was Rom related but when I flashed gpe it wouldn't allow me to delete pictures through the gallery.
What is going on with this thing?
EDIT Skyfall claims to have fixed the sdcard and system read write issue. Flashing now

AudioFX Issue HELP!!!!!

A popup comes up and says "unfortunately, AudioFX has stopped". i press OK but the popup comes back instantly making it virtually impossible to use the phone. this is really frustrating!! please help. before this happened i was trying to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/speakerphone-volume-low-calls-t2801938
You messed it up, revert back to the stock file. Find the stock file if you didn't back it up.

You said that you were trying the changes from that thread. That thread consist of you changing the mixer_paths.xml file. Upon going in there, you probably changed something that wasn't supposed to be changed or messed up the formatting.
In fact now that I think about it, just go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/mod-volume-increase-mod-oneplus-one-t2835010 and flash one of the mods. Do note that it doesn't have the earpiece volume change but it will fix your audiofx and will play sound without force closes.
I have had this problem and fixed it multiple times...
The problem is, that for some reason the stock file editor sometimes does not save the full file, then starts crashing, etc. Other file editors seem to work ok.
By the way this can also happen for some reasonwhen applying icon packs or themes.
Now the good part - you can fix it without even loosing you data. You need to flash only the system partition from the stock image. Follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
But in step 3 apply the command: fastboot flash system system.img
Skip the rest of the steps and apply: fastboot reboot.
You can get adb and the Android SDK tools to use here:

I disabled AudioFX altogether with Titanium Backup I prefer Viper4android.

Ok i have exactly same problems and it drive me crazy. Any ideas whats going on and how to fix it?
I'm also experiencing the same problem
If I set any default ringtone, the phone (Nexus5) uses it without problems... but if I try to set another MP3 file (I formerly used in KitKat 4.4.4 successfully) it is "set" as ringtone, but a small "error beep" sounds instead of the configured mp3 file.
Reproducing the error is simple, just set a standard ringtone and clic the "ringtone volume" slider to change the volume... you'll hear the ringtone without problems. If you set another ringtone (using Rings Extended or similar) it is correctly set, but changing the volume reproduces the mentioned "beep" instead of the ringtone.
This is not such a big deal... I can set a standard ringtone until this gets fixed... but it is in fact an annoying bug.
Ringtone Problem
I updated my nexus 5 to lollipop. My ringtone changed to some unknow ringtone. Only some beep sound comes when a call comes. I am not able to change the ringtone. It stays the same beep evenwhen i change it. Niether custom nor default ringtone. Default ringtones are all vanished i cant even see the. What to doo! This is really irritating.
Working fine for me, although I flashed the factory image and set my phone up from scratch...

I installed the OTA image myself (via adb) but did not factory-restore the phone... doing so would help in solving this issue? :angel:

Honestly couldn't say - possibly. If you're going to do a reset, obviously backup any important info first of all

I would wipe cache,and factory reset from the recovery menu. This has cleared up a number of issues.

i have the exact same issue...cleared the cache but no dice...if anyone has a fix it would be much appreciated
Faced the same issue and Google brought me here. I would only get the default ring tone or vibrate when a custom mp3 was selected on my stock Nexus 5 on 5.0.1 (OTA). Here's the fix that seems to have worked for me:
Settings > Apps > All Apps > Media Storage > Clear Cache & Defaults
Then I went into Sounds & Notifications and ensured my mp3 ringtone was set as the default. In the process I selected Media Storage as the default provider of file services (over ES). Then I went into the individual contacts and reset each to the proper mp3.
Hope this helps.

I don't have the problem since 5.0.1, I think they fixed it.
I have the problem on both mine and my wife's phone.
My phone:
1. previously flashed 5.0.0 and OTA to 5.0.1
2. just tried flashed 5.0.1 factory images and its the same
Wife's phone:
1. OTA from 4.4 to 5.0.0 then 5.0.1
I tried with both OGG and MP3.
We are using airdroid.
Try copying or moving the sound file to the Ringtones folder/directory and rebooting. If the file is not too large it should show in in the list of available ringtones.

The ringtones does show up, and in the ringtone selector, it does play properly, However, it doesn't play when a voice call comes in. :|
I too face the same problem... Any solutions yet?
Previously I use AirDroid to transfer the ringtones.
I just install ES Explorer, copy it to /sdcard, then when selecting ringtone, choose ES File Explorer again, and pick the file. Works!
This will help.
I also had this same problem
I am having a moto G 2. Same problem occurred to me after updating. All you need to do is to paste the custom ringtone to Phone/Ringtones folder. Then select it from settings. VOILA. It'll work. :fingers-crossed:
Note: Don't copy it in Memory Card

I came here to look for a solution to this problem after upgrading to Lollipop and rings Extended no longer working. The above "quoted" worked for me on my Galaxy S5.
Move the ringtone to Device Storage/Ringtones and then select it in sound settings.
Move the notification sound you want to Device Storage/Notifications and select it in sound settings.
You can then uninstall Rings Extended as it is no longer needed. :good:
