Factory HTC G2 Tmo
I have multiple ringtones showing up and nothing in the sdcard media folder, which might be where one would look, just annoys me, is there a way to get rid of the dupes? only factory ringtones are duped, there are others listed but those are the ones I downloaded.

I had this same problem. I simply deleted all the ringtones from both the phone and the card and reapplied them all.

Hey guys,
Before rooting, I could get all my audio files to show up whenever I wanted to use on for a contact's ringtone, or a notification or anything. Now, I can't see them. Am I supposed to put them somewhere so the phone will detect them?
Also, I'm wondering why the ROMS for 2.2 Froyo on the mt3gs have ADW launcher on them. Is that because we don't have an official T-Mobile or HTC Sense launcher yet? Or am I totally off with what I'm saying?

You can still select your songs as your ringtone. You just need to go to you music app and select it as such through there. I personally use ringdroid and that makes my song clip a ringtone to be bundled with the ringtones available.
and yes, there isnt a sense launcher 2.2 yet so therefore it can not be included in a mts rom. There are other home launchers you can use however.

I just tried to go to individual songs and it only allows me to set them as the the phone's ringtone but not as contact specific ringtones.
I'm on the cyanogen ROM, if it matters.

Go to said Contact, Press menu, options, ringtone.
It doesn't show MY tracks that I put on the SD card. It only gives me the default track as an option.
Could this be a bug in the ROM?? I gotta be able to use my tracks for different people. Where should I put the tracks?
Oh, ok. You want each contact to have a diff ringtone. Download ringdroid from market and make your ringtones there. The newly made ringtones will appear with the default.

Ok, cool, I'll try that. I just found it so weird that it was so simple on 2.1 but now with the 2.2 ROM it doesn't seem to work. I'll try ringdroid. I was thinking it might work if I copied the ringers I have into the folder on the phone that holds all the stock ringers. Thought maybe that might work. I like to try to run things with as few apps as possible to help the battery.
Thanks!

That'd definitely work. Push them to system/media/audio/ringtones
Hmm, weird...
Astro won't let me paste or move to the phone. Any ideas?
Use adb to put the files there. None of the root explorer apps ever worked for me.
Any idea where I can get commands to do that kind of copying? I have no idea how to use adb other than the instructions in rooting.
I can't seem to use custom/nonstock ringtones for notifications on ei22. Before on ec05 I had a folder on my sdcard that had them all and it worked but no go now. Theb only thing I can think of is that ei22 doesn't support mp3 tones because I even tried placing it in the notification folder within the system.
I did search but every thread is to disable it lol
Works fine for me. I click notification sound in settings>sound and all my ringtones pop up in the list and work fine. Maybe you need the sounds in the ringtone folder.

So for some reason I can use MP3 for ringtones but not notifications. In order for me to use custom notifications they need to be OGG, ei22 doesn't like MP3's for some odd reason
By the way I am using CleanGB rom so maybe its that if everyone else is able to use MP3's.
EDIT:
Spoke to soon, I can now see it under notifications but it doesn't play it

I'm on Legendary and have no problem using MP3s in my ringtone folder. Try converting it to M4A file. Maybe there is a file you are missing since CleanGB has a lot of bloat removed.
As wack as this may sound, if you truly can't find a resolution...ringdroid supports mp3 notifications.

Thanks, I was not able to find an option to change it manually but I downloaded the Zedge app and it allowed me to choose a notification that it had (same one I had).
Hi guys
Did a factory reset to have another go at setting everything up again, as i had every app and his son install first time round, and duplicated contacts.
After doing the reset, it seems that there are files missing, sample songs etc, is this right, and is there any way to get it back to factory as it said on the phone.
Phone is sim free from the carphone warehouse
many thanks

Well I spoke to HTC today, and all they could say was it shouldn't happen, and to download the content from the hub......but there is bugger all on the hub to download, ah well......

Just completed a hard reset to hopefully resolve auto-rate issues and noticed this too - upon reboot the sample music & video files are missing. Phone bought from CPWH too.
Has anyone else noticed this and can someone please upload all the files as I really liked one of the tracks but can't remember what it was called!!
Thanks.

I found the same thing happen to me Did a Factory Wipe and then
HUH??
Where's everything go?
Then I decided to put on a Custom ROM
So, seems like this is a common issue.
Anyone fancy uploading the files here?!

I too accidentally deleted the original /sdcard files when I first got the phone (checked "Erase all data" in "Factory data reset" for some stupid reason).
These are the extras I think were originally in /sdcard (unlocked UK version):
/DCIM - 15 wallpaper images
/Music
/Ringtones
HTC One X User Manual_WWE.pdf
I attached the images and manual. You can get the music in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633496
I don't have what was originally in /Ringtones, and I may have left something out, so feel free to add to this list.
Many thanks Raster. Yes I did the exact same (checked erase all data option).
Ringtones seem to be intact, 68 in total (from '8bit' love to 'Zen') - not sure if there are anymore. If anyone could confirm this that would be great.

ok so today i was playing with my phone and you know im a type a person who like to put lots of ringtones from other phones into mine so all this time i been pushing all the audio files from different roms into my phone(adb push .../system/media/audio/ringtones ).. DONT NEEED TO DO THIS NOMORE SINCE OUR PHONE HAS AN EASY WAY TO PUT WHATEVER AUDIO FILES NOW INTO THE INTERNAL SDCARD..
SO IF YOU WANT RINTONES ON YOUR PHONE DO THE FOLLOWING!!!
1.CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO PC (ROOT IS NOT NEEDED!!! NOR CUSTOM ROM OR KERNEL)
2. GO TO YOUR INTERNAL SD AND YOU ARE GOING TO SEE 2 FOLDERS INSIDE 1 FOLDER NAMED "RINGTONES AND THE OTHER ONE NOTIFICATIONS", ) JUST DROP WHATEVER FILES YOU WANT IN THOSE FOLDERS ANY AUDIO FILES WILL SHOW ON YOUR RINGTONES AND NOTIFICATIONS NOW!! WOW HOW NICE IS THAT..
I've been able to do this since owning a G1. Files can also go in a folder called 'media' (which still works up to this day on the S3) with subfolders titled 'ringtones' 'notifications' 'alarms' and 'ui'.

This is nothing new. Android has always had this ability. This could be helpful to people that are new to android though.

Where is there a good place to find different ringtones and notification sounds??? The ones on the SGS3 are not very loud and would like to pick a few good ones.
Thanks for the tip.

Try Zedge

+1 for Zedge. Also search around XDA for ringtones ... you can find a lot of phone dumps that users have posted for download.

Even if you not rooted you can download cm9 and extract ring tones from media folder, but you can also find most if not all of them from zedge, btw maybe the op cane from the iPhone which is a pain to get ring tones, bonus tip stock player will let you choose any song as ringtones, if you want to trim it to an specific part get ringtone maker from the play store

Looking for some help here. Long time viewer/poster, first time I've had a problem. Perhaps I can find help.
After a music transfer last night, my phone is no longer recognizing the files in my SD card's Music folder. The files can still be located and played through ES File Explorer and other file manager apps, but all my music players (Play Music, Winamp, stock HTC player) do not show them.
Upon searching the forums and the Internet, I have noticed this problem exists across multiple devices, and the solutions are easy to do and seem to work...for everyone except me. Clearing app data/cache, uninstalling/reinstalling, using SDrescan, searching for .nomedia files (none found anywhere), unmounting/remounting, wiping and reflashing my current ROM (DigitalKarma V8)...nothing works, and I am running out of patience. I am close to completely resetting the phone and reformatting the SD card (after backing up, of course...I'm not THAT stupid )
It's likely I may be doing something wrong, but to be safe, I want to see if there is anything I am either missing or overlooking in order to fix this common yet annoying problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah the best step if you've tried everything would just be to reformat your sdcard because it sounds like something broke on that
OH. 1 thing before you do that, make sure that the permissions for your music is set to readable by everyone, hopefully that fixes it

Wait, hold the phone. Using File Manager to search my SD card, I find a whole s***load of .nomedia files. ES File Explorer couldn't find them...guess I found a new file manager lol
Now to delete all those files and try this thing again...wish me luck.
Fixed! Looks like I did miss/overlook something, and deleting those .nomedia files took care of everything. Now that I have my music back (and a new file manager...well, not really new, I've used it occasionally in the past), I can get back to enjoying the piece of classic awesome we call the EVO 4G. Consider this case closed.
Put "[SOLVED]" in the thread title please

That's exactly what you do is delete all those .NO MEDIA files. Also, there's an app called Rescan Media that will work
