Guide on first page, just dl the file and click the runme. It'll do everything. Anyway, is kies air the only way to transfer stuff from pc to the memory card? How about transfering installed files to memory card? Any guide?

ringtone no problem. now i juz wanna change my notification tone (sms/messenger/etc). icon_question.gif

and for the swapping internal with external sd, found a guide but quite clueless on how to do it.

QUOTE
Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Swap (remap) Internal SD with External SD. To do this you need to replace (or manually edit) /etc/vold.fstab with attached one.

DISCLAIMER: Usual stuff. Do it at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage or data loss it may cause.

    You may loose applications that have been moved to SD card so it might be a good idea to move all installed apps to the phone memory.
    Make sure your phone is rooted and your external SD card is FAT32 formatted.
    Back up your original /etc/vold.fstab
    Copy accross any data you want to be on new /mnt/sdcard from your /mnt/sdcard to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
    Unzip and put modified vold.fstab on you phone
    In root explorer go to /etc
    Re-mount the filesystem to R/W
    Copy modified vold.fstab from wherever you have it to the /etc using root explorer
    Change permissions to rw-r--r-- (644)
    Re-mount filesystem as R/O
    Reboot your phone


Your external big SD card should now be /mnt/sdcard (Internal SD) and your internal SD should now be /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

When you move apps to SD they will be moved to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

SDcard > Media > Audio > Ringtones
SDcard > Media > Audio > Alarms
SDcard > Media > Audio > Notifications

The files in the folders will be available for choosing when you change your ringtone/notification/alarm.  When you root your phone, you can even remove the stock tones.

So its same as xperia mini pro then, don't bother to download app to have your favorite tones as it is really easy to do.


Added on December 1, 2011, 11:49 pm

transfer your tones from pc to sd card,
using file manager from market, move your tones from memory card to phone memory according to path above. Good luck
