I currently have Nil's Business Gingersense 3D and no matter where I place my mp3 collection (SD or EMMC) no music player or system app can detect any of it. The music has been detected before by Stock Sense and Synergy Rom so I know it's in an Android readable format. Any ideas?
Edit: After some adjustments I managed to get my mp3's detected on my SD card but not EMMC. Isn't Business Sense supposed to detect music off the EMMC?
Music on emmc and sd card works on Nils Business Gingersense 3.0. I should know, I've been running the 3.0 rom since July.
"Business Sense" is his froyo rom so you mean "Business Gingersense 2.1/3.0+3D" correct? This was taken straight from Post #2 of Business Gingersense 2.1/3.0+3D:
"Known Problems
As far as I can tell the only thing not working 100% is the
* Music on EMMC (Internal Storage) not found by stock music player.
- Fix - You can try other players from the market - PowerAmp works"
I'll try that, thanks.
Another issue, all of my custom notification sounds aren't used at all by the system. I select my default notifications and custom ringtones but the only sound I'm hearing are the default notifications and ringtones. Any help there?
I don't use ringtones/custom notifications but I just looked into it on my phone. I called from one of my contacts with a song from my music library as the ringtone, I even switched it twice and this worked both times like normal. Earlier I moved my music from sd card to emmc and when I tried selecting ringtones just now it wouldn't work. I did a reset as I realized my phone hadn't recognized that I moved those files.
My question to you is:
1) Have you moved your music files from one location to another since the last time you did a reboot?
2) How are you setting them?
Again, I use the default ringtones as they are neutral if my phone goes off at work so I'm not much help. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help out. I'm about to test with gmail to see if custom notification sounds fails.
Edit: just tested with my Gmail app and my sound is changed there as well. When you change your ringtone for a contact or for emails (gmail, etc.), in the location that you manually switch the sound does it state that it is changed from default to customized? As in, does it not switch from default to custom notification sound xyz?
For a contact:
Droid Incredible
Call: Droid Inc.
Send Message
options
Ringtone
Default (or your customized ringtone?)
I have not moved my music files anywhere since the last reboot.
I've been setting my contacts' ringtones through Sense' people widget, my ringtone through settings > sound > phone ringtone, my default notification through settings > sound > notification sound, and other custom notifications sounds through the various apps I use.
I just double checked to see if the sounds were selected and they are. I have no idea why they're not playing properly.
That is weird. How about this
1) Redownload the rom and place it on your sd card
2) Perform a Nandroid in Recovery (or Amon Ra if that's your recovery)
3) Format data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, & format system
4) Flash the rom
5) reboot and see if you still have the issue.

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?
Hi there.
I've used two RUU in the last year on my DHD. After a phone restart, I go straight to the Marketplace to redownload the apps I had before using the RUU.
Some of the apps don't automatically download, and I can't remember them all so there's probably some old applications and associated data on there.
The SD card is getting full so I was wondering if there was an app out there I could use to remove all app data except that of apps which are currently installed.
I'm running a stock DHD on the latest 2.3.5 ROM with Sense 3.0.
Thanks for your help!
Easiest way I find personally...
Back up your contact list, photos, music, ring tones and the settings files on the main programs you can remember - Even better, use the HTC program
Format the card.
Plug it into the phone and let it load it's file system and then make a back up of that on your PC for future use. Just remember to back up your new contacts, photos etc...
Go to recovery or 4ext / CWM and delete Dalvik
EDIT: Later you can delete them one by one those which you don't use
I think SD maid can do that... I've heard it works pretty good.

On SD card there is directory called \Android\. There are apps data.

Best and safest way.
I got a question about filesystem on SD card.
If you format it ext4 - how is it speed-wise? Actually what are main advantages?
And can windows7 then normally recognize "disk drive"?
Hi all, relative noob here...Had a quick question regarding Zedge. I've been using this app for awhile on my old HTC Hero, and now my E4GT. Just recently, using Calk's ROM 2.7 and now 2.8.1, I've run into an issue when trying to select a Zedge ringtone or notification sound from Settings-->Sounds. When the pop up window comes up (Choose: System Sounds, Zedge) and I select Zedge, the phone freezes for a second then shows the "Zedge process force close window" and I'm stuck with system tones. Same thing will happen if I try to assign a tone from within Zedge. Some times Zedge will work, sometimes not. I've run fix permissions, but I'm still running into the issue. I've also tried using Super Manager to move my Zedge files to the system media folder, but that does nothing either. I have a couple of programs on my phone that help me control programs that are auto-starting (specifically, Android Assistant & Rom Toolbox Lite), but I don't know if those are playing a part in this problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Also, if it helps, I'm currently on Calk's 2.8.1 ROM with the EL13 modem and the Rogue Desperado Kernal.
Not sure why you're coming across these problems but i've found it's easier to just make a "ringtones" & "notifications" folder on my sdcard. After creating them, all sounds placed in will be available in the corresponding settings menu.

Should these folders be placed in a specific location on the sd card (media folder, for instance) or simply in the root of the sd card? Thanks in advance.

The problem I am having is the phone shows the ringtone I want and my ringtone manager app shows the correct ringtone but when the phone goes off it plays some off the wall tone that I cant seem to find and delete from the phone. ANY suggestions are welcomed.
message tone plays just fine
All stock ringtones for CM7 is located at /system/media/audio/ringtones/. Delete the ringtones you don't want. S-Off required. Or remove them from the zip before flashing.
If it doesn't play the tones you assign, make sure there are no conflicting apps working for your notification tones.
Ok so i have deleted all the files in that area and still have the problem.
I have "contact remover" app witch allows me to control my contacts on my phone and those backed up to google. Not sure if this matters or not but when adding new contacts the app automatically gives me the option to create the contact on the phone without sync or to my google account. I don't know if because I choose the backup option to google if there is something overriding cm7, i get that damn annoying ringtone and my vibrate settings are not recognized either.
Should I just erase and start over with a different mod???????? Not what I really want to do, as i am really happy with cm7 but I am seriously at my wits end with this annoying ringtone.

Actually, there is another way to do this despite S-ON.
With ADB installed, execute "adb remount". Somehow this changes the state of the system and puts it read-write mode. After executing "su", I was able to navigate down to the ringtones and notifications folders and remove all the files I didn't care to use. Worked like a charm on my HTC Hero CDMA.
As someone who recently switched to using an android phone, I am still learning. That said, I've done something that's mucked up the phone, but I hope it's got a solution short of a factory reset.
I wanted to use a custom ringtone, so on the external sd card, I created a folder called ringtones, and put my ringtones in there. Within the contacts, I navigated to the external sd card, and selected the new ringtone. It used the new ringtone, but I didn't notice that the stock ringtones are now not showing up. They're still in internal memory; ES File Explorer shows them in their system location, but within the settings for a contact, they don't show up.
I thought that if I deleted the ringtones, the system may go back to having the stock ones showing up - nope, the selection window is blank, and the only options to navigate around, are to the external sd card, and the /0 partition on the internal memory (which doesn't show a way to get back to the system area anyways).
Rebooting, blowing away all the cache (via App Cache Cleaner), and within settings / application manager, and the Phone, Clearing Data (which also clears the Cache), and doing a Force Stop, also don't fix this problem.
My google fu is failing me. I haven't rooted my system, and if it is a matter of resetting Data or Cache, I don't know which category to do so. Best Buy's Samsung rep didn't know how to fix it. Samsung's tech support person on the phone wasn't able to remote into my phone via their Smart Tutor app (their system was having problems yesterday: they thought it may be a problem with too many people needing help).
What I did is affecting both the Ringtone selection and Message Alert selection. I plan on giving Samsung's tech support another call on Wednesday when they're open, but I was hoping that someone here may have some insight into this problem as well. Ultimately, I want to have both my custom and stock ringtones showing up and be selectable. Thank you for any help you may be able to offer. :good:
Do a factory data reset.

Thanks, Shaun! I was able to avoid something quite so drastic. I was on the phone with the advanced tech support team from Samsung, and they had me do the following things to fix it.
I deleted the ringtones folder on my external SD card.
In the App Manager, in the bottom left menu, I chose Reset App Preferences. Then back in the App Manager, I chose Contacts, then Clear Cache. I did a hard shutdown and restart of the phone.
At that point, my stock ringtones show up, and also any custom ones I have, that are now in the folder on the internal memory, in a folder called Ringtones, that was already made by the system, and visible at the top of the Phone folder, when I connect it to my PC via USB.
If anyone else ends up with this error, I hope this information helps them out! :victory:
great..
