Database Info

i didnt need a thread for this....sorrry!!!!!!!!!

I've tried the method below and it doesn't seem to work........it doesn't give me errors......but it doesn't delete the files that I don't want anymore.
I did try searching the forums but didn't see any posts regarding this....but seeing how new the 1.5 firmware it is...I didn't think there would be a post on it anyway and didn't think the command prompt or the location of these files would change
Any help is appreciated
-Type su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/
mtdblock3 /system
rm -r /system/media/audio/ringtones
rm -r /system/media/audio/notifications

I did this yesterday, and removed all the stock ringtones and replaced with htc defaults.
I did this from ADB shell, I suppose you can do it from the terminal, matter of fact I'm sure you can.
The trick is to use busybox.
#commands below
busybox rm -rf /system/media/audio/ringtones # remove ringtones
busybox rm -rf /system/media/audio/notifications # removes notifications
# this removed all my ringtones and folders
After that I just used "adb push c:\ringtones /system/media/audio/ringtones"
That simply took whatever .ogg / .mp3 ringtones and put them back on the system memory of my G1.
Using JF 1.5, didn't need to go into recovery or anything.

[MOD FONTS2SD] Easily replace system fonts in CM-MOD

This mod allows you to replace easily the system fonts
or to move your system fonts to the SD card freeing
some space in the ROM.
First thing to do is to replace libsgl.so with my modified version
or if you prefer compile it yourself after applying the attached patch.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cp /system/lib/libsgl.so /system/lib/libsgl.so.bak
mkdir /system/sd/fonts
exit
adb push libsgl.so /system/lib/
adb shell reboot
At reboot the system will check first in
Code:
/system/sd/fonts
if some suitable fonts are found there they will be loaded
else the default fonts in
Code:
/system/fonts
will be loaded.
The fonts in /system/sd/fonts must be named:
Code:
DroidSans.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
DroidSerif-Regular.ttf
DroidSerif-Bold.ttf
DroidSerif-Italic.ttf
DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
DroidSansMono.ttf
These are optional, and can be ignored if not found in the file system.
DroidSansJapanese.ttf
DroidSansFallback.ttf
You can achieve this by moving or copying the default system fonts,
renaming the fonts you want to use or by a symbolic link e.g.
Code:
cd /system/sd/fonts
ln -s Vera.ttf DroidSans.ttf
I have tested it with DejaVu and DejaVu condensed fonts.
Enjoy and try out your own font combinations.

Change the boot sound w/o re-flash the ROM for G7

It's my fault to have post this message here.
It's for G7, but I think it is also OK for Incredible.
========================================
1. Prepare a short mp3 and name it android_audio.mp3
2. Put the mp3 under the adb folder
3. Save the following code as !bootaudio.bat (I use this name)
4. Turn your phone into ADB debugging mode
5. run !bootaudio.bat
6. Reboot your phone and have fun!
This should work on almost all G7
Tips: During the boot animation, the volume would change twice. So I suggest insert 1 second before the audio for escaping from the volume changing side-effect.
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb shell rm /data/local/android_audio.mp3
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local/
adb shell rm /system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3
adb shell ln -s /data/local/android_audio.mp3 /system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3
adb shell ls -l --color=never /data/local
adb shell ls -l --color=never /system/customize/resource/
adb pull /system/customize/CID/default.xml
pause
Script description:
Mount the system path to enable writing access.
Remove the original boot sound if it exists.
Push your mp3 into the data/local, where the bootanimation.zip is.
Make a link to data/local/android_audio.mp3
List the two affected pathes for you to confirm the result
Pull the default.xml out from the phone, if you find it not work after reboot, you can check the xml to see what the actural fullpath it is using. And manually change the script to try again.
My current boot sound is attached to the thread.
