[SOLVED] Permanent Ringtones

[Guest mrforsythexeter]

I was having an issue with my ring tone on my sdcard so decided to work it out. Because I wanted my sdcard mounted when I connected the USB cable, If I got a call it the phone couldn't find a ringtone. I did search using google and found nothing useful.

I rooted my ZTE using the video on this board and im using 2.1 custom r4 rom.

I placed the ringtone on the root of my SD CARD, and then told the phone to ask me if I wanted to mount the sd card, reconnected the USB cable and didn't mount it.

Started cmd (as administrator since im running windows 7 64bit, and always do it for safety) and then issued the following commands

adb shell

su

alias ls='ls --color=never' ( I only did this because I wanted to browse around)

mount -o remount,rw /system

cp /sdcard/[ringtonefilename] /system/media/audio/ringtones/

mount -o remount,ro /system

sync

reboot

Then when the phone was restarted, it was listed as a permanet ringtone (I had removed it from the sdcards /media/ringtones)

I hope this helps someone else.
