Hi
I don't care for the charging sounds when the phone is connected / disconnected from the charger and setting silent to get around it is a pain.
I've had a look at all over the /system partition for where these sounds are located and can't find them.
Several forums mention they should be in system/media/audio but after listening to every single file I can't find them.
Does anyone know where they are located?
Thanks

They are located here my friend: \system\priv-app\MiuiSystemUI.apk\raw
Yes, indeed they are there, in the .apk file, but how to remove or replace with blank or render them useless?
Should the phone be rooted for the process, or there is a simpler workaround?

Has anyone figured out the problem with changing notifications? My email notification (gmail) switches to a random mp3 file at least once a day, and I don't connect the phone to the computer in storage mode, so unavailability of the assigned sound cannot be blamed here. It's not a big deal, but rather an annoyance.
Thanks!

As noted in the stickied FAQ at the top, this is a known issue.
Connecting the phone to the computer at all causes the phone to go into a "pre-mount prepping stage" in which the OS will start separating itself from the SD card partition. I don't know if that's technically what happens, but that's what's been my observation.
Btw, this issue and some workarounds(only surefire one requires root in my experience) have been discussed in greater detail here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882803 . Insert generic please use the search funuction comment here. /endmodimpersonation.
This is certainly the same issue as we're discussing in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882803
Please go to this http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413 link and STAR the issue. We're trying to get Google's attention to fix this ASAP.
Meanwhile, a work around, if you're rooted, appears to be to put the desired sound into the /system/media/audio/(ringtones, notifications, proper sub-folder) folder.
Hi,
Is it possible to fake a system intent and broadcast a system event in a rooted device manually?
To be more precise, I want to make the phone believe that an headset is plugged in even while it's not plugged in.
I want to fire an action_headset_plug event manually and also set the state to 1.
Here's the intent am wanting to modify,
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG
Anybody? Any ideas?
Under /sys/devices/virtual/switch/h2w and /sys/devices/virtual/switch/msm-h2w, I found a file called state which I believe could be the files storing the strings I want to change. I tried modifying the values but the system quickly reverts even if I set the files as read-only.

Nope.

Find a solution?
Hey! I'm looking to do some sound recording on my HTC EVO and want to directly input an external microphone. Looking for an application that can manually fake a microphone-headset being inserted. Do you know if anythings available?
Thanks
Trying to determine if this is a "just me" problem or a larger problem.
I have ringtones on my SD card that I moved onto my phone when I got the Atrix 2. I am able to successfully assign the 'new' ringtones for both the default and the individual contacts. I've already set it up as indicated in this thread (which I know is for the S2, but I presumed the concept should be the same).
However, I've found that at some point later (perhaps after a restart?), some (but not all) of the ringtones have changed, usually to songs on the SD card (not necessarily to other ringtones).
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? It's not a huge deal, but it definitely throws me for a loop when say, my father calls, and it's not "his" ringtone playing on my phone.
Thanks for the feedback to anyone else who responds.

You should not have them on the phone storage, that is for apps and android only. All of your media (including ringtones) needs to stay on your SDcard, especially since the phone scans and rescans the SDcard on every boot, for things like that.
To make it work correctly for this phone, create a folder (directory) on your SDcard and call it ringtones (it must be on the root of the SDcard), that will make them show up as ringtones to select, the only time they will not work, is if you unmount the SDcard and put another one in, that does not have that layout with the files you selected as ringtones. Once you put the card back in and remount it, they should start to immediately work again.
Hi Jim:
So would the correct path for these files then be: /mnt/sd-card/media (and then either notifications/ringtones/audio?).... or /sd-card/media?
I swear that's how it was initially set up and the phone couldn't seem to find any ringtones, which is why I'd made the change as outlined above.
Thanks for your assistance.

No, the correct path is:
/sdcard/ringtones/
Your ringtone mp3 files go in there. I have never had an issue with that location on this phone, and a few other other phones that has worked flawlessly as well.

Hi Jim:
I moved the files there using root explorer, used the app "sd rescan" to rescan the card again, and rebooted my phone.
The tones now appear twice each in my ringtones option and both appear to play (which would at least imply that they're both linked to valid files). However, I had set my alarm for this morning to wake me up with a ringtone, and was instead woken up to the noise the phone makes when you first turn it on and it's scanning the card. I've also noticed that again, my contacts have different ringtones.
I've noticed that the folder appears in two places (sd-card/ringtones, and then a mnt/sd-card/ringtones has a symblink of that) ... could that be my issue?
It's not just you. The phone has storage "issues" of all kinds.
Just curious do you have Zedge installed?
I do have Zedge installed, though I've never used it for Ringtones. I've also got RingDroid installed, which is how I made these into ringtones/notification tones in the first place.
Just been having this issue lately where my custom ringtone and notifications change to the default after a reboot or after I connect micro usb to add files to the memory card. I cant seem to find a way to fix this. Just wondering if anyone has had this issue and how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you change a ringtone,do you click apply?
Exactly the same problem i also have no council. until now. with CoreDroid 2.6 i had it not, only with v2.7 and v3.0.
I have the exact same problem, I had some custom ringtones and suddenly for no reason started switching back to default. So I finally just did a factory reset now everything's back to normal.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I may have found the issue with mine. I recently started using an app called headset droid. Once I uninstalled the app most of my issue is gone now. My ringtones and notifications no longer reset when I reboot. They do still reset if if I connect my phone via micro USB and add transfer things to my memory card. I will try resetting my phone and reflashing my rom next to see if that solves the problem completely.
Solution for rooted user but please help for non-rooted
To start off I do not have my phone rooted, although I am thinking about it lol.
My ringtones and notifications changed every time I restart my phone. What I have tried is to change the ringtones and notifications folder location. It basically started right after I received the T-Mobile update software number 1.50.531.1
sdcard(root)/notifications
sdcard(root)/ringtones
and
sdcard(root)/media/audio/notifications
sdcard(root)/media/audio/ringtones
all the above methods work in the sense that the phone recognized the ringtones but every time I restart the phone it changes the ringtone and notification back to defaults.
I have searched for a solution the closest thing I have found was located here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413
The conclusion is to gain root access and move the ringtones and notification to the phone's internal system folder. Since I do not want to root my phone, is there a method to gain permission to move files to the system folder?
I really want to solve this problem so please let me know if there is a solution
Thanks from a noob
I fixed my issue by clearing the cache. I downloaded app called "app cache cleaner" than I cleared the rosie cache and boom it works woot

Try adding your phone ringtone / notification sound this way
Settings-sound-phone ringtone-menu soft key-more ringtones-add ringtone
Then select the ringtone.
Also the similar way for notification sound..
This way you might not lose your custom ringtones when rebooted

That's how I assign them. I don't have the issue of losing them when rebooting, but I do have problems when I've connected my phone as a mass storage device as with the SD card unmounted (so it can be accessed by the PC) the phone can no longer see my ringtone/notification sounds.
Annoyingly downloading ringtones from HTC doesn't save them to the phone memory.

then you move it to memory...
move the required ringtones to /system/media/audio/ringtones
and similarly for notifications...use any file explorer...

without rooting...no not possible ...as you require /system partition as r/w which can be done only when rooted

Hi, I had this issue after I installed Beats.
I found that the problem was linked to /system/app/com.htc.sdm.apk
This is a soundset profile which was defaulting tones.
I deleted this file, rebooted and all was fine!
Hope this helps

Is that a solution which can be used without rooting?
I have tried to report this to HTC as a bug, but cannot find the details. There are many links on this and similar sites which all go to "Whoops we cannot find that site, please one of the below" [sic] and there is nothing below. When I tried to access support direction the only countries I could choose from were USA or Canada. Can anyone direct me to how to report this as a bug for a UK user? They shouldn't be requiring us to root just so that we don't have all our ringtones defaulted every time we connect the phone to a PC, that's about 20 times a day! Particularly important for me rather than just nigglingly annoying as I'm profoundly deaf in some frequencies, I literally cannot hear some of the ring tones, I need to input ones I can tell the phone is ringing!
It's not a HTC issue, it's a gingerbread/ics issue.
Although HTC could fix it I suppose by releasing an app that allows you to copy ringtones to the phone memory.

No, it isn't!
Tell you what.... Just S-OFF & root your phone and install a custom ROM.
Otherwise, learn to live with the crappy software that HTC release and stop moaning about it.
Thanks

I feel that I need to disagree.
If it was an OS issue then every ROM on every phone would suffer from the same problem.
This problem happens for various reasons on various ROMs.
HTC replace a lot of the AOSP programs with thier own and it's less than perfect and can cause this issue - they could release a patch but they are not always speedy on the releases!
I remember someone creating a Sound profile and then deleting it - which solved their problem?!

The Galaxy Nexus also suffers from resetting ringtones etc when the SD card has been unmounted, there's a bug report a mile long with Google about it.
There should be an easy fix, ie two sound config files, one for when the SD card is present and the other for when it's not, or the set as ringtone/notification function could copy the file to the internal memory.
Why load a flakey unfinished ROM when O2 provide one that fast and trouble free?
I was hoping there'd be a way of accessing the internal memory from a PC via developer tools.

As I stated - "Various ROMs" - BUT NOT ALL - So it can't be the fault of the base AOSP but rather modifications done by Manufacurers or Providers (3 is the worst for customising)!
Not all ROMs are flakey or unfurnished and you have the options to customise them a lot more to your own personal style - Most providers add bloatware which slows the device down which a lot of people don't want (The only settings I need are for my APN)!
You can access internal memory via adb - but modifying it requires you to be rooted.
There is a fallback ringtone found within framework-res.apk which the device will use if it can't find any tones at all but no different configs for SD in/out (Nice idea though!) but copying to the internal memory would still require root!
This is where I benefit from a custom rom - If I don't like one then I choose another, or I patch the problem! (Or, more often then not, I just make my own)
Try setting up a custom sound set, what rom and mods do you have

Thing is, with O2 they don't add bloat and I'm happy with their ROM, it's fast (ICS seems much faster than GB) and stable, which I guess we're lucky in that
I've set up a new sound set and tomorrow I'll be adding vids to watch on the train into London so will see how it goes.
Interesting though how it affects a Nexus device which I always thought was bare bones Android.
Hi There,
So I have a Pixel with 02 (in the UK) its at 7.1.2 right now. Problem is I can't seem to see the system folders when plugging into my pc, I'm trying to get at the notification/ringtones/alarm tones folders so I can set custom ones.
I'm not sure now whether the phone is hiding system folders or my carrier is blocking them somehow. I also can't upload a screenshot as the forum won't let me yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Pull down the notification window from top of phone. Change from charging to file transfer. If you have the correct drivers installed on your pc they will install and you will be able to see everything. It might take a bit the first time. Sometimes switching between file transfers and media helps.
