Root Currently best froyo rom?

Hmm I've found something I dislike with the modaco rom, which I had with 2.1.
I can't use a custom song for my ringtone, or alarm or anything else with sound.
That sure is a bummer.

You should be able to. I certainly can. Are you sure the correct directories are in place?
 
You need to have media/audio/ringtones directory on your SD card.

Put any tune you want in there and it will be available as a ring tone. Better still, just download 'ringdroid' from the market and have it all done for you.

Hmm yes creating those files makes me able to move a custom sound in there.
But with 2.1 I was able to either browse my phone for sounds, or choose a standard sound in a list.
And that for ringtone and alarm.
 
2.2 should work exactly the same.

Are you saying that you can't choose any sounds for a ring tone?

No, I can use a custom sound, but then I have to move it to the ringtone directory on the sd card.

Normally, in the sound options under ringtone, I had two options:
1. Select standard ringtone. This opens a white popup with all standard sounds.
2. Select custom sound. This opened a popup with all my music and sounds stored on my sd card. (It was a fairly large list)

But now I can't make a selection when I open the ringtone options, it just gives me a white popup with the standard sounds.


I thank you greatly for reading this and trying to help me.
 
Ah, I think I understand. I get two options: Standard ring tone, or select music.

I think you may have defaulted to standard somewhere. You need to reset defaults. Unfortunately I've no idea where to do that. Although, if you go in to the standard music player it should give you the option to set any track as a ring tone.

I'll search the web about it.
Thanks again!


And at the moment I'm merging different kinds of roms to satisfy my needs.
 
I tried the auraxtsense rom, but the problem is the same there.

Anthony1, what rom are you using at the moment?
 
Liking OpenDesire 4.0.4 so far, a tad laggy when going into desktop preview in LauncherPro but everything else is functional.

Best way to install a custom rom and avoid FC's and such is to wipe the system before flashing, provided you backed everything up using titanium backup (excluding system apps) and backup profile in LauncherPro if you're using that. Then restore after it's flashed
 
Good news, I found my problem.
It's handcent messages that gives you the option to choose a custom sound.
Hurray :)

But with a solution comes another problem :(
I can't see my downloads in the market x( they were all programs reinstalled with astro.
 
Did you take a backup with titanium at any point? That restores the market links. Astro just reinstalls the apps. The market doesn't automatically create links to apps installed on the phone unfortunately.

I didn't have titanium backup when I whiped everything :(

But it did work with the stock rom and with the same rom some days ago, only now it's gone.
Haunted phone :p
