[GUIDE 4 NOOBS] Add desired ringtones, notifications, apps, bootanimations - Galaxy S II General

Hello there. This guide is very basic and looks at how you can add ringtones, notifications, applications, alarms, bootanimations and other MISC in to a ROM before you flash the ROM
Step 1. Download your chosen ROM to your computer
Step 2. Have all of the desired files you would like to add ready to go If you want to make your own ringtones, alarms, notifications by cutting down songs that are mp3 files I have attached a small and safe program I am using.
Make sure your desired bootanimation is named "bootanimation"
Step 3. Download 7 zip http://www.7-zip.org/
(Used to open the ROM zip without extracting it) ***DO NOT EXTRACT ANY ROM***
Step 4. Use 7zip to OPEN the desired ROM zip
Once inside you can literally drag and drop files into the zip, Navigate to the following areas.
For Apps: system>app
For Bootanimation: system>media
For Ringtones: system>media>audio>ringtones
For Notifications: system>media>audio>notifications
For Alarms: system>media>audio>alarms
If you look around you might notice some other familiar folders such as fonts. Feel free to investigate further AT YOUR OWN RISK
*NOTE* I have been using this method for a long time but since Gingerbread all of my tones have been saving directly to my internal sd card after I use this method once.
For example if you were to flash your desired ROM with your desired tones they will be placed into folders on your internal sd card. folders are: notifications, ringtones, alarms
After this point you can simply drag and drop the tones to these folders. After a reboot they will show up to be selected as tones.
Before every ROM you flash after this you should go inside the allocated folders and delete all of the tones you already have or do not want. If you don't then you might end up with multiple files

Not all apps will install from the apps folder .
No idea why but normal for me is on last two custom roms only one out of the ten i added to app folder actually installs .
Data folder all will install but i have yet to work out the script for it on SGS2 .
WinRar works fine for me on the unzip and zip custom roms .

You might be trying to put a system file in the wrong area. I haven't had such an issue before. Moving files to system/app OR data/app should have the same effect unless it is a system file.
system apps are not supposed to be placed in data/app so I always just advise to put everything in system/app as it does no harm and it works for all apk files

System/app
APNoff installs .
AppBrain market app fails GPS test fails etc etc .
To a rom i normally add ringtones Power on sound Boot animation wallpaper home made CSC and gps.conf

[Audio] [4/6/10] Audio Repository

This is a collection of audio files from several ROMs from several phones, including:
CDMA Hero - 1.5
CDMA Hero - AOSP 2.1
CDMA Hero - Sense 2.1
Motorola Stock
Samsung Stock
There are almost 200 different sounds in this collection! Tons of variety!
Also note that this frees up some space in your /system partition! Always a good thing!
Copy the .zip posted and flash it just like any other update.zip. This will delete your current system/media/audio folders (with the exception of ui) and place the repository on your sdcard. BE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE ON YOUR SDCARD BEFORE FLASHING THIS!
Updates:
Included additional sounds from here
Created an update.zip to automagically delete current system files
Download
Gregalous said:
IThe .zip posted contains a folder called media. To use the sounds, unzip the attached file to your tools folder and from ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb push media /system/media/

There is no need to put the files in /system/
You can make a /media folder on the SD card and it works the same... *AND* the files won't get hosed with every ROM reflash.

I tried that first but then all the files show up in your Music player. I also tried putting a .nomedia file in the folder but then they didn't show up at all.
This is the only way I've found that works completely.
Dont put it in your system folder. Create a /media/audio/notifications or /media/audio/ringtones folder on your sdcard. My ringtones and notifications are seen in these folders.
Gregalous said:
I have created a collection of notifications, ringtones, alarms, and general UI sounds from every ROM that I have ever used (1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 w/ & w/o Sense) all into one folder. This gives you a huge amount of choices for ringtones, notification sounds, etc.
The .zip posted contains a folder called media. To use the sounds, unzip the attached file to your tools folder and from ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb push media /system/media/
Give it just a second (as there are quite a few of them) and when it's done copying it will tell you. Reboot once finished.
I did not do an update.zip because quite honestly it's much faster and easier to do it through ADB.

Again, the reason I put those instructions up is because when I had tried putting it on my sdcard, the files would show up in the music player.
Besides, you can use the files however you want, I'm not forcing anyone to put them into /system, that was just my recommendation.

Im sorry but i tried to do it your way and you're right they don't show in the music app but i cant find them anywhere on the phone.
PS: I know how to push files and it did

You went to phone ringtone/notification ringtone and there wasn't anything there? If done correctly there should be a very long list to choose from.
Did you reboot after pushing?
Ok so after further testing, it turns out that the only files that show up in the music player are the UI sounds. So I just deleted those (since they're all the same in all the ROMs I'm pretty sure, plus no one really cares about those) and now it works just perfectly when you put in your sdcard.
I humbly admit that I was wrong This should work better now, especially for those that were worried about using up /system space.
First post edited with new directions and .zip.
awesome! Thanks so much for making this! After RMing the media files from the system I gained like 20mb's that can be utilized in running apps and such. You're the man!
I tried installing this by putting them on the sdcard, and all of the sounds show up on the list, but everyone option I chose plays the same song on my sdcard :|
Ideas?
did you RM the system files? Mine works fine.

Ya I did, and then I my phone would freeze when anything tried to notify me, and it woudn't mount my sd card :| Good thing i have a sdcard slot in my computer, i had to remove the files and rewrite them to my sdcard. Then it started working. No idea why, but its working
I merged your folder with the original media folder and rebooted but they do not show up...??
in case anyone is having trouble with this, there is a very clear post on how to do this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5936137&postcount=3236
Updated, nearly 200 sounds in this package now
Now in update.zip format, super easy!
Cool thanks... Will give it a try...
Thanks for posting this.

[Q] picking and choosing what you want from a theme?

hey guys,
just curious if you could some how choose what you want to have in the theme and if you can mix themes, if so how? for example i installed epic unleashed 2.5 and i loved the battery indicator and i installed the 982dark theme for the droid 2 and it's great with a couple exceptions... personally I think i'm going back to the Kangerade Blue for the Droid2 but i still want the original battery indicator from the epic rom.
thanks
-Jim
As far as I know, we don't have this level of customizability on D2 as of now. However, we are starting to see this. Like this, for example:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=784855
I used to use a ROM for the old Touch CDMA that did in fact have this level of customizability - there was a thread that had pretty much every individual piece available to customize. But again, I haven't seen this for D2 yet.
damn... ok well hopefully we get there eventually... until then I'll just stick with the theme I overall like the best lol
I have this problem with themes too, and the solution is simple. Take the theme that you are going to install, open the zip, and just remove the apps, fonts, or framework you don't want altered.
For example, I despise the font changes alot of themes force on you. Makes my twitter streams unreadable, so I just open the zip, and delete the fonts folder. That way it won't override the stock fonts. I've never tried deleting individual files, but that method should work for icons as well.
Just open the framework.res (rename the .res to .zip or .rar if you have WINRAR installed, or just use the "open with or choose default program" option) goto the res folder, then drawable-hdpi and just delete the battery images from the folder before you install the theme.
An easy way to do this, is to make a copy of the zip first so you'll have a proper version of the theme to view. Open it up with winzip, WINRAR or whatever archiving tool you use on your computer. Then browse the files in thumbnail view to find the images you want to get rid of. Make a note of their file names, then open up the other zip, locate the files in question, right click, delete em.
I'm not quite understanding what you're saying Natty
For example, right now I'm using the Revolution Remix theme. If I unzip it, there are 2 folders: META-INF and system.
Under system there are 3 folders: app, fonts, and framework. In the framework file there are 2 .apk files (framework-res.apk and blur-res.apk) and the systems.jar file.
In the app folder there are all .apk files, and the font folders are all .ttf
I'm not seeing any pictures to be deleted, unless you mean to actually delete the respective app .apk files (for example, I dislike the Talk app icon and the Market app icon)
Edit:
So I guess you're supposed to just rename the .apk to .zip, but for some reason the files are not allowing me...Could these files be locked? (I don't know if that's a stupid question or not lol)
Edit #2:
So I got 7zip (yay for google), but when I go to open the .png files they don't want to open...an application opens to view them, but it just sits there saying "loading"

I'm not sure if that would work for png files inside of framework-res.apk.... I would think that would cause a bootloop
It will work for the fonts folder and for any app you dont want to get altered in /system/app.
So just remove the app from the system/app folder? That's what I'm somewhat confused about.

If you dont want a themed app to overwrite your current app, then just delete the apk file from /system/app inside of the themed zip file. Or if you dont want a themed font to overwrite ur current font, then just delete the fonts folder inside of the themed zip file.
But deleting files from inside the framework-res.apk... I doubt that would work.
Any idea how to edit the Market? It's not under system/app.
Edit: Never mind, didn't know "market" was actually vending.
removing the png specifically will cause an issue however if you have another png that you would like you use you can just replace this and it will not overwrite then.

So did the install go smoothly without the M logo freeze or bootloops? I hope so.
I'm Glad others came to pick up my pieces, lol. That's why this forum is so great. To summarize for those joining the party late, just take the .png's from another theme, and replace the unwanted images with those. Don't just delete them
It's working fine, no reboots or stuck in boot loop or anything. Didn't even need to wipe data / cache.
Now if I could just figure out a way to remove the font they used from just the browser and my apps and nothing else (b/c it looks really nice in the notification bar, the menus, on the widgets, etc. but makes reading email or reading stuff in the browser really difficult) I'd be golden.
So I started removing one font at a time, nothing changed.
So I removed the whole fonts folder, and still didn't get any change in the fonts in the theme.
Ideas?
Thats exactly why I got rid of it. What good is a font that you can't read? I'm not sure if you can just remove it from the statusbar specifically.
Remember, removing them prevents it from changing the fonts that are currently installed. So if they're already different, then they'll just stay that way when you install the edited version of the theme. You're gonna need to flash to the stock theme first, then flash to another theme (like the NexTheme for example) with all the edits that you made.
I see, so those files in the fonts folder aren't actually fonts. They're more like...where the fonts you want get stored. So you need to actually replace the file.
From what I've figured out, the majority of the fonts are derived from DroidSans. If you change that, you change most of the fonts including those in the apps, widgets, etc. So is there no way to specifically change a font in, lets say, apps vs. widgets? And what are all those other files in the fonts folder for
I have no idea. I just deleted the whole folder prior to installing to ensure I kept all stock fonts.

Getting some Blur back?

As shocking as it may seem I want some blur on my phone! Im currently running gummy 2.5 but after using blur for a couple of months i miss the messaging, email, alarm, camera, sticky note widget and most importantly the icons! is there anyway for me to get any of this back? I tried installing the apks but to no avail. I think I could do with just the icons. Any advice? Thanks!
They won't install like normal apks to the best of my knowledge. You seem to have all of the APKs though from blur so try one of these methods, not 100% sure it will work but it likely should. (Edit: I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about with the icons, but this should help you get the APKs you want back)
REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING EITHER OF THESE!
1) Download the empty InstallAPKs.zip from this post.
2) Open the archive in 7z or winrar
3) Navigate to system/app and put all the APKs you wan't to install into the zip (just drag them into the archive and let it add/update them. I'd have stuck them in the zip for you but I don't have any blur apks with me)
4) Reboot recovery and install the zip
or
1) You could manually go into the system folder and replace the apks using root explorer. Remember to set permissions to 644 for each file you replace if doing this.

[Q] Ringtones folder on sdcard is not seen by the device

I have a trouble adding a new folder with custom ringtones on the sdcard. The device doesn't show these ringtones in system ringtone chooser whatever I do. However, on older firmwares I didn't have any problems with this, the device showed these ringtones right after I restarted the phone. Recently I full wiped and flashed MEA stock rom from the scratch, and now I can't make the device show my custom ringtones in the system menu. Adding the ringtones to System/media/audio/ringtones folder works, but I would like to have a separate folder with custom ringtones on the sdcard, so that I don't have to put them in system ringtones folder after each rom change.
Does anybody has a solution to this?

Hi,
Try Media Scanner
Media scanner didn't help. The system does see the files if i want to add them manually one by one. But the files won't appear in the menu automatically as they used to do before.

Im new here but I read somewhere that a .nomedia file may me stored in a folder and mediascanner for images,music,video will skip this folder. View hidden files and folders in your folder browser so you can see dot files and see if this file is in the ringtones folder. if yes then delete it.
Edit
Try putting a "ringtones" folder in sd card and put your ringtones in there. Then try to see if it shows up.
The previous answer was almost correct.
In your SD Card create a folder with the name "media", inside create 3 folders: "Notifications", "Ringtones" and "Alarms". By doing that your device automatically will recognize every file an list it in the right place.
Actually, I have all those folders on the sdcard. As I said, just before flashing mea Rom with full wipe, these folders were recognized and the all my ringtones were in system sound selection menu. But after flashing, whatever I do, I can't make them appear there. I only have to add them manually one by one. I think there is something changed in mea update that doesn't let you add new ringtones. However, the hangouts app created ringtones folder and two files are there and the are in the system sound selection menu. But if I add couple of my ringtones to that folder
, they don't show up after restarting the phone. The same ringtones, when put into the system/media/audio/ringtones folder using root explorer, appear in the system with no issue.
So as said, there might be some change since Mea Rom that is not letting adding new ringtones.
What do you think?

Seems very hectic for you buddy.
try this if possible.
Go to Setting-> applications-> All-> Search for Media storage-> Clear the data & Stop it (force Close). Again start this service.
Reboot the device in Recovery ( If you are rooted) then clear only dalvik cache.
Now, it will take 15 min to scan your device media.
Remember, your all Ringtones setting will be lost in this case.
Man, thanks a lot! This really worked and none of the audio settings were lost.
I am just curious, why this could happen? Maybe it's because I restored my system from Titanium backup, and media storage was there. In Mea rom there might be some changes to media storage so there was some conflict. Is it right?
