[Downloadable] Ringtones from HTC Hero

[Guest Nesousx]

Hi all,

I extracted ringtones from my HTC Hero with lastest (to date) MCR. It offers a few extra ringtones/notifications compared to the Stock/MCR Nexus One rom (such as Riffing and Teleport which are my favorites).

Download and extract the rar file to your sdcard in /Android/media/audio

Then you should have 3 subfolders: ringtones, notifications and alarms.

Thank you kindly. I wasn't near a PC -- all I had was my phone -- so I went to some trouble to convert that file to a zip that my phone could handle. But the files are unzipped and I've listened to all of them. Very nice.

(What "some trouble" did I have to go to?

I tried to download the RAR file directly, but my browser said the content type wasn't supported.

I ssh'ed into my ancient public-facing Linux box, mspencer.net, and used wget to download the rar file there.

Then I used 'unrar' on that old machine, but the ancient version of unrar installed there couldn't handle your RAR file.

I then opened an SSH tunnel to the VNC server port on a protected, internal Linux machine. Configured androidVNC to connect to 127.0.0.1:5002.

Slowly and painfully got the screen saver password entered, got a graphical terminal window open. wget'ed your RAR file there.

Tried to unrar the file. No unrar on this system. Can I install it? It's Fedora 12 so the package manager is 'yum'.

"yum install unrar". Nothing matches.

"yum install rar". Nothing matches.

Went web surfing, found a directory of .rpm packages. Downloaded one that said it was for x86_64 and Fedora 12.

"yum install unrar[tab]". It's doing something! Asking me if I'm sure! Yes I am sure. Public key verification failed, installation aborted. Grr.

Surfing some more, found the "yum" option I needed. --nogpgcheck . Ran "yum install --nogpgcheck unrar[tab]". [y/N]? Yes. Hooray it's installed!

"unrar x audio.rar" -- OK that worked.

"zip audio.zip *" -- nothing to do? Hmm.

"zip -R audio.zip *" -- still nothing to do? I thought -R was recursive. OH. Old PKZIP recursive. Not what I need.

"zip -r audio.zip *" -- that did it.

"scp audio.zip [email protected]:/directory/directory/directory/audio.zip", entered password, done.

Back to the Nexus One, used web browser to retrieve that file.

Then ES File Explorer, navigate to /sdcard/downloads/ and cut the file, paste it into /sdcard/Android/media/, extract here. Done.

I feel like I had to work for those ringtones. But it was fun. :-)

I guess I could've just come here and asked you to recompress those into a zip file, but where's the fun in that? Look what I learned! :-)
