Okay try this:

(Kind of) automatic instructions:
1. Put the mp3 you want to use as your ringtone onto your computer

2. Go to www.media.io and upload the mp3 file

3. Select the format as .ogg and the quality to high (192kbits/sec)

4. Convert it, download it, and copy it to C:\Android

5. Connect the phone to the computer and enable USB Debugging (Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging)

6. Open cmd and type
Code: 
cd C:\Android

7. Now type
Code: 
adb push <name of song>.ogg /system/media/audio/ringtones/<name of song>.ogg

For example, if I had ringtone342.ogg on my computer, the code would be
Code: 
adb push ringtone342.ogg /system/media/audio/ringtones/ringtone342.ogg

8. Select the ringtone as normal :D


Manual instructions
1. Put the mp3 you want to use as your ringtone onto your computer

2. Go to www.media.io and upload the mp3 file

3. Select the format as .ogg and the quality to high (192kbits/sec)

4. Convert it, download it, and transfer it to your phone

5. On your phone, open root explorer and copy the new .ogg file to /system/media/audio/ringtones

6. Select the ringtone as normal :D

Hope this helps! :D :D

Thanks for the instructions. I've tried using file manager on the phone, and also using ADB, but neither work. I keep getting an error 'Failed to copy', 'Read-only file system'.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

In root explorer you need to tap the 'Mount R/W' button in the top right corner, then paste it in. As for ADB, I can't remember how to mount read/write privillages.. Just use Root Explorer :p

EDIT: BrainCrasher shared the code to mount r/w privillages in ADB; after typing cd C:\Android, type
Code: 
adb shell
Then type:
Code: 
su
I think a superuser request will appear on the phone, allow it.

Then type:
Code: 
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

:D

In CMD, at your android ADB folder

$ adb shell
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

:P :D
 
Hi all,

Maur4ik updated the plans for the next version last night with some of the things we can expect in the next release.

Sorry for the poor translation but its the best i could get.

(+) Wired headset
(+) Indication of battery percentage in status bar
(+) Engine is the same but modified by their 29-(gathered in a bunch of the best and worst and removed on the basis of work/Quarx ' a and wingrime)
(+) I'll try a little 3D engine purely disperse under the experiment.
(+) Added some soft default (RingDroid, PdaNet, SwiFTP, you need to have something comfortable and working for wifi-tetteringa). Im guessing he is including third party tethering software.
(-) Throughput for rendering interface slightly increased.
(-) Increase productivity in the gallery.
(*) For networks-works or a scan, a second line.
Small changes in the work of the Chamber shall be for the better (-)
And as always fresh fiksy and editing of CM.

Cheers

Lee

Nice! Thanks for this, I'll update the first post ;)
 
net :D

Actually there's nothing as mtdblock3 in /dev/block/
but it works with ADB :D

if u try with terminal inside the phone it won't work this way

Hmmm. So this phone cant support flash? I use skyfire browser and it allows me to see flash videos o0. Thx for the info anyways.
Click to expand...

Not natively anyway; Skyfire works by decoding the flash elements of the page in the skyfire servers, then the skyfire servers send the page to your phone as HTML5, so it appears to be flash :p
 
Can someone tell me, what should i do when SetCPU doesn't show total swap ?
I checked in sd card for 600mb swap file and there is one.

you need to install swapper for root from the market, then... create the swap file, then if your lucky it will enable the swap, if not, you'll need to reboot the phone, once it booted go to swapper and uncheck "start on boot" without swapper deleting the file, then save, then again...activate swap on boot and save, now it will enable swap

dude, in CM7 are there improved power management, near-field communications and internet calling features??
Click to expand...
Power Management - Haven't seen yet. Use SetCPU and play with profiles
Near-field Communications - ??
Internet Calling - Yes, it's there. But haven't used yet

BTW, I'm amazed, this phone just had 1.6 when it came and now it's 2.3.2. Great work by the developers

Also, can anyone tell me what it needs to create a custom ROM. I know it's a foolish question, but just a bit curiosity?

Power management - meh, it's kinda the same, a lil bit better
NFC - ?? You need a NFC chip in the phone..
Internet calling - it's there, I just don't have a SIP account to test it with

:D

Yep, it's amazing what dev's will do :p

To create a custom ROM you need understanding of mainly Java code and Linux, since the kernel is based on a modified version of the original Linux kernel. From there you can get the source code from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and start coding; adding or taking away features as you please :D
 
I've finally managed to do it! :D

I've created a single .exe file that will extract and install CyanogenMod 7 to your GT540! The .exe file cuts down the process by a significant amount, so all you have to do is install the patches, which shouldn't be there at all in the next update :) A link to it is in the first post :D
