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.

Since I upgraded to 2.2 I haven't been able to set my own message tone. I have the mp3 that I want to use sat on my sd card, but it won't allow me to copy and paste to the notifications file on my phone, and says "insufficient file permissions"
I have tried via HTCSync, tried two different file managers but still nothing. Can anyone shed any light??? I would also like to change the boot up noise but can't do that either.
Generic Stock 2.2 (Orange debranded) if that helps.
Thanks
Searching helps. Put ringtones and notification sounds in their respective directories in the media directory on your SD card. Search marked for silent boot.

Thanks for that, but I want to change the boot noise, not make it silent. I want to use the Xbox start up noise lol.
Hey there,
I recently started flashing multiple ROMs to see which one I liked best and whatnot, and I ended up staying with Fresh 3.4.0.1...
Thing is, I kinda liked the "Boing" notification sound for my texts from CyanogenMod 6.1...
Is there anyway to get them without restoring the nand backup and then copying the sound to the SD root (if I can even find/access it) and just using it on Flash after flashing the ROM again?
Any way at all? Does someone have the sound file?
thanks in advance!
Open the cm6.zip on your computer and go to:
/system/media/audio/notifications
All the sounds will be there....

For extra easiness, just copy the whole /media/ folder to your SD card's root directory. It will then automatically list the ringtones, alarms, and notification sounds in the list as if they were stock.
I like setting gmail's notification to the plastic pipe sound since it's quiet enough to not be annoying.
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

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?
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.
Credits go to the guys from the awesome Galaxy Nexus forum. Especially to Dragn4rce for creating this thread and kyokeun1234 for pointing out aboves easier solution.

Was this a question? If yes: Yes, the solution is exactly the same across devices.
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..
