It seems to use a lot of resources?

It scans storage for all media files pics music ringtones, etc and keeps there location for whatever needs them. So I would say that you do definitely need it. However it does seem like yours is going more than it should. I would recommend backing everything up and doing a full wipe and reinstall everything to see if it works better.

it's getting stuck on some dir trying to scan files. does the OP have some folder on /sdcard/ that has like, an abuse of files, jpegs, mp3? place '.nomedia' file under that dir or structure it into more folders.

Probably a corrupt picture or audio file on your /sdcard.

I don't think so. But maybe a rogue app created a ton of media files? I'd have to check.

maybe; a corrupt file could also be the cause, like previously posted. still, if we cant find the culprit, imo a fresh start would be best, reflashing from fastboot.
saw this elsewhere: there are also widgets that may cause this behaviour, especially ones that sync something.

Just remove the zip extension and then import.

How ? It still dont work, how you mean that ?
Rename it and remove .zip extension. It'll ask you something like 'this will change file type, you want to continue?' Hit yes. .uzip format works in UCCW not .zip

thats weird. i really dont know, why it wont work ... i renamed it, there is no ".zip" to remove, it is still a ".rar" file ...
Where there is pin.uzip.zip you just should remeve the .zip part so it just reads pin.uzip, which you then can import in UCCW
Go to Explorer (aka. My Computer)
At top left
Organize>Folder & Search option>View>[Uncheck] Hide extensions for known file types>OK
Go to your file, it should show "pin.uzip.zip"
Then you'll know what to do. (If not, read mr.Sh4Dy method)

Missing ringtones/notifications

I just checked my ringtones and found out that they're missing on the list. Same goes with my notification tones.

Anyone having the same problems? I'm planning to do a reset and/or a restore via odin. Thanks!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
I have the same problem. I am on Omega 16. It happened to me after I cleared Media Storage data. In addition to losing all the ringtones in the list, I lost Gallery albums and Music database. I managed to restore Gallery and Music with FX File Manager but cannot do the same for the system sounds. I know they are in the /system/media/audio, but the phone does not see them..
Permission problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
Assuming you are rooted..and can change permissions, here's a screenshot of the permissions i have in this folder.
The actual ringtones are all with rw-r-r permissions.
You're sure there's no 'nomedia file' in the folder?

I have the same permissions set on the folders. I am sure that there is .nomedia file in those folders because with Root Explorer you can see all files, and there is no .nomedia files there.
In the meantime I managed to get my ringtones back only by restoring Data from Media Storage from a backup I had. It got my gallery and music screwed up again but I fixed those with FX files Manager by going to the folders with media in them and clicking "Rescan Media". This automatically rebuilds the Music and Photo databases. Unfortunately you cannot do this to root folders..
What can one do if there is no backup of Media Storage?
@Break333
Well, you could always extract a (stock)rom and copy/paste the specific folders, but you're right..that's alot of hassle.
Glad you managed to solve your problems!

[Q] Ringtones

What format is best for custom ringtones with a stock ROM? And what location is best, if they are to appear in the ringtone picklist?
Much apologies if these are n00bish Qs. I've never run a stock ROM and I need much learning. This much I know: I'm quite happy with GB27.
Regarding Q 1 ... I can convert to OGG or whatever. Just wanting to learn the most compatible format.
For Q 2, I tried copying an OGG into /system/audio/media/ringtones, but it wouldn't appear in the picklist even after a reboot. Ditto for /storage/sdcard/ringtones and /storage/extsdcard/ringtones. So, yeah, definitely trying to learn where to stick my custom ringtones.
Thanks ------
Ring tones need to be mp3 and placed in the /system/media/ringtone folder with permissions for each set to rw-r--r-- then reboot and profit

What he said, and there is an alternate way. Just simply place MP3 files into the folder labeled "Ringtones." That folder is located on the root of your internal SD Card (USB Storage). I use Airdroid to simply move and replace ringtones whenever I feel like it. Reboot after changing files around and the phone should update your ringtone list, no need for permissions changing or even checking. Works for me perfectly this way. Enjoy!

I'm not sure if this will solve it but its a worth a try. Go to settings/apps or app manager then scroll to ALL and then open settings and clear data and cache. And try again. This might wipe your setups.

Note 7 Secure Folder heavy user

I'm a secure folder heavy user. I got a few apps duplicated with my dual sim phone, that way I keep things separate, work and personal. How to get this on another phone?
I don't want to give up my Note 7!
I'd like the know the same thing. As a first time Samsung owner, that feature was very nice for a number of reasons. Any third party options to add this type of functionality to another phone?
Problem with secure folder is that you can't copy stuff back out of it!

Maybe it changed in the last update, but when I tried it,I put a video in there and wasn't able to copy it back out (when I found the Occulus player didn't support opening from secure folders- bummer). A quick bit of research at that point suggested this was the intention of secure folder to not allow security compromise of copying back out of it? Perhaps you can "un"secure it?
Edit: ok just tried again, and if you go into gallery inside the secure folder, there is an option to move out, yay. Didn't spot this option previously.
