[Q] add mp3 ringtones

Ih everybody!
I've some problems to add new ringtone to my desire..
I flashed the new oxigen 2.0 rom (gigerbread) and there isn't a lot of choice for ringtones, alarms, ... so I would add some mp3 but..
I tried whit several apps (ringdroid, ringtone editor, ...) and I can't find my mp3 on the sdcard (i tried to put it in /sdcard , in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones, in /sdcard/music(/audio)/ringtones, in /sdcard/ringtones and some others way). I also tried whit .ogg files but nothing.
I ask to google and find some tips, but they didn't work neither..
someone know how can I do it?
thanks
cya

No need of an app to do that : if you copy your audio files in /sdcard/media/audio/(alarms, notifications or ringtones), they will normally be usable the same way as the ones in /system/media/audio/(alarms, notifications or ringtones)
It works for me on Desire under Oxygen 2.0 RC7.

I also tried this way, but it did not work..

From the native music player you can set it as ringtone.

I tried that way as soon as I saw your post, but it did not work neither..
Actually I find out that I can't add music on the music player.. I don't know why.. I also tried to set as ringtone mp3 and ogg files from astro file manager, I can see the menu option, but I can't select the option!
I think about it and maybe I did a mess when I restore my backup whit mybackup pro (I restore also home config and settings who comes from another rom).. now I'm trying to reflash the rom and I will see...

erase sd card?
Nope.. I reflashed oxygen, and now I'm trying redux, and I still have this problem..
obviously the problem come from my desire, probably form my sdcard, but I don't know what I can do to fix that things..
I also noticed last night that I've a similar problem with the image gallery, the app can't find any image on my sd card, but I've a lot of it..
If I erase my sd card (backing up data apps) can I just put it back in the phone or there is things to do?

[Q] CM9 - How to update my music library

Hello,
My music player doesn't detect the new music I copied from my pc to my sdcard.
If I open the music player I only see the old music, but not the new music I recently copied to my mobile.
I already delete "data" by going to Settings/Apps and rebooted my mobile multiple times, but it still doesn't detect my new music.
I put the new music files to /music on my card, like the other files and the files aren't broken or sth like that. Normal mp3 files with id3 tags.
Can someone help me?
I'm running the latest CM9 on my Wildfire S.

What music app is that? Is that the one that comes in the ROM?
I suggest you try Apollo or the Google Play music app.

I'm using the stock cm9 music app,
already tried apollo and googlemusic app but without any success

I have the same problem on the Alpha1. Is it a bug? The sd card not reindexing media files after a remount from the PC?

aah, good to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem here
yes, I'm running the alpha1, too.
maybe you are right *se-nsei. and it's a bug.
Any idea how to fix it?
I'm really get tired of listening to the same music over and over again

I have no problem with that im using google play.
Fc when im using stock cm9 music but the problem its not about music library.

Try this app
for a temporary fix use this app! It worked for me!
Rescan SD Card!

The "rescan sd" app works. I think its a good solution for now. I hope it will be fixed with the next Update. Hope that the ums bug will be fixed soon, too.
Thanks for your answers guys

I think Dev Tools has a media scanner that you can run which SHOULD update the music library and gallery but haven't tested that with music on cm9 yet (Worked on cm7).

Solution is here !!!!!!!!!!!!

Gallery+Music not working on CM9

The gallery detects no images and the music player finds no music. I have many folders full of images and "music" folder filled with music. ES file manager can detect and view/play image-/music files.
I recently installed the latets version CM9 and I have never had this issue before. Third party music apps are also unabe to detect music. Factory reset does not help. Deleting cache and data in settings does not help. There is no issue with .nomedia files.
Don't know what to do really. Any answer is greatly appreciated.

re-flash the rom

Its very obvious!
If reflashing doesnt work, try putting all the music files in the root of the sd card and not in folders as you did now!

Horrible option. Makes the whole "hierarchical filesystem"-thing pointless, and the SD-Card looking extremely confused (I like having a /sdcard/music/ folder, and even more folders in that. And camera also saves pictures to subfolders of /sdcard/.). There has to be another way. On my GNex CM9 doesn't have this problem, so it isn't ROM-related, and Gingerbread isn't making this trouble, too. Just as a start to exclude options on the "why".
(But, yes, I've tried that with one file, and it works. For people interested in shabby workaround and not in real fix it'll probably do the trick. (Except for (camera) pictures. Camera saves in /sdcard/DCIM/blabla. No way to change that.))

I'm gonna try putting 1 mp3 file on root and delete any .nomedia file too see if it works, if not I'll reflash.
Same with gallery, it can't hurt..
By the way I noticed the gallery shows pictures taken after I deleted the ROM but if I place old photos in that same folder they don't show up...
Thanks for all the answers
PS. I did full wipe before installing the ROM and will wipe everything again..

dammit I ****ed up, did wipe and didn't root again so when I flashed the ROM it didn't boot. Flashing 2.3.4 Stock FTF file now. Thanks anyway.

Just FYI: Putting files to the root of /sdcard is not a longterm solution, after reboot they don't show up again. Niether clearing Media Storage's data nor wiping cache nor dalvik cache, nor fixing permissions works as a solution. That is really f*cked up.
Edit: No changes in ongoing nightlies on that. Hopefully: Yet. But I wouldn't bet on it.

SOLVED!
This is not a ROM problem! It could happen to anyone using ROM Manager!
How-to fix:
1. Download and install the latest ROM Manager APK from their website.
2. Delete the .nomedia file in /sdcard/android/data/ (ROM Manager 5.0.1.3 put a bad one there, the new version will be good).
3. Clear the data for Media Storage in Settings > Apps.
4. Reboot.
5. Wait. Re-indexing can need a while.

Problem with gallery and music in Gen.Y B5

After full wipe I flashed latest beta and pics aren't shown in gallery and also I'm unable to pick mp3 as a ringtone.
I've done the trick with mix player and it doesn't help.
Can someone help me with this?

Check for the file named “.nomedia” (without quotes) in the root folder of your SD card. This file tells media scanner not to search for media in this folder and its subfolders. If you find this file in the root directory then simply delete it. The issue is caused probably by newest ROM manager. Some users report that this file is recreated after reboot. In this case I would temporary downgrade the ROM Manager to older version. Hit the THANKS button if I helped you

I also have the same issue. There's no stray ".nomedia" that I can find in my SD card. Logcat entries contain no related error message.

If you use MXPlayer, in settings there is an option about .nomedia. Diasble it. Sometimes that cause this kind of problems.

Try Wiping Dalvik and fix permissions

Clearing cache, dalvik cache and fixing permissions don't work. Strange thing is that newly captured screenshots and photos appear in the Gallery app right away. The disappearance apply just to the existing images and music files in built-in Gallery and Music app. Third-party image browsing apps like QuickPic are behaving correctly (showing all images, respecting .nomedia on selected folders appropriately.) Third-party music players (Google Play Music, Winamp, etc.) however can't find any music tracks, behaving exactly like the original Music app. Bumping so that yozgatg might take a look.

Alternatively you can use QuickPic and set up included folders manually.

If u can specificly fix permission on an app,that would be media storage,try rom toolbox..

Didn't work. I've tried both fixing permissions from CWM and from ROM Toolbox Lite. I don't think this is a temporary problem that can be resolved by clearing cache and fixing permissions. For images there are plenty of alternative apps that can be used, but it's currently a dead end trying to list music tracks

COPY ALL SDCARD FILES TO A PC FORMAT THE SD CARD AND COPY BACK ONLY THE IMPOTANT FOLDERS LIKE ANDROID AND THOSE CONTAINING THE PICTURES AND MUSIC FILE LEAVE THE REST
HIT THANKS IF IT HELPED:good::laugh:

I have this problem too. On over ROM (jelly bean) .

Guys, I found the solution posted here (from the Galaxy Note sub-forum) works for me today. All music tracks and pictures are back :good: Give it a try! Credit goes to matius44 on that thread.
Edit: AFAIK, the steps listed in this fix apply to ICS only. I haven't tried it in a JB build yet.

No. Not workng for me. CM10 JB HTC DESIRE Z.

[Q] WALKMAN song names

So here's the deal. I want to know if its possible to backup downloaded or edited song names of the walkman app. I suppose that when you edit the name of a song with the edit music info feature it is stored somewhere in the data folder of the device, because when you do a full wipe it disappears. So what if i could find the exact folder where they are stored and make a backup of it and then restore it in another rom where a full wipe is required to install. Hope you guys understand.

Well I don't know exactly but let us try, we won't lose anything.
These are the folders:
mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.android.providers.media
mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.sonyericsson.mediaextra.provider
mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.sonyericsson.music
Move these 3 folders to anywhere else, then reboot your phone and open the WALKMAN app. If the music info disappeared then these are the correct folders.

??
you mean moving them all at the same time? because i tried moving them one by one and rebooting and nothing happened except for the album pictures disappearing

Yes try to move them all at the same time (NOT ONE BY ONE) to any different new folder. If it didn't work then move these folders again to the same place [stock place] "mnt/Android/data".
