cant mount my blade

[Guest amleto]

got rid of the orange ROM a few days ago. Had the awful alarm sound wake me up this morning and thought "right, that has to go!". Couldn't find any way of changing the alarm sounds on the phone so thought I'd have to do something like ringdroid + mp3s.

Thus leading me on to trying to mount my phone again. Only now it doesn't mount. No 'bing bong' from win 7. no usb notification on the phone.

any ideas?

:)

p.s.

installed the usb drivers already.

rom info:

alpha3-update-modacocustomrom-blade-kitchen-unsigned.zip

kernel:

2.6.32.9-perfzte-kernel@zdroid0smt

build number:

uni_cn_v880 1.0 (mcr alpha 3)

Does it still charge through USB when connected?

Can you use ADB to see the phone?

If you boot into Colockwork and enable USB MS can you mount it then?

Enable USB debugging, then adb devices will tell you if it can 'see' your phone or not.

hmmm, I know I have seen that option somewhere. I think I turned it off :) . Please can you remind me where it is?

thanks

hmmm, dunno what was up with it. after mounting through clockwork, I left the usb cable in and rebooted. It prompted for mounting fine. I pulled the plug out and put it back in. It prompted again so everything seems fine now :confused:

Although I still need to change that damned alarm sound.

thanks for you help anyway :)

Should have said that first - "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" :D Glad it's fixed now ;)

Add .MP3's to /sdcard/media/audio/alarms

Edit: Also for other tones, use:

/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

/sdcard/media/audio/notifications

will that make a menu appear somewhere? because otherwise, how do i select which one from that folder?

[Guest Rusty!]

You should then be able to pick the tone you want from the list in the clock app.

ahh, you have to set it per alarm. I was looking for a 'global' setting somewhere.

is there anyway to set the default?

[Guest Rusty!]

'Fraid not, you'll just have to remember to change it when you set an alarm.

'Fraid not, you'll just have to remember to change it when you set an alarm.

There is, but it's a bit of a faff:

If you pull, edit and then push back your build.prop file you should be able to add (or update) a line with:

ro.config.alarm_alert=SomeTune.mp3

But I think SomeTune.mp3 might have to be present in /system/media/audio/alarms so you may have to push the mp3 there as well.

Personally I'd just remember to change it when setting up the alarm! :)
