Motorola Sound Notification Settings - Where are they Stored? - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

Hey everyone,
Where are the default sound settings stored on Motorola phones? Meaning, what file within the file system, not where in the Settings menu.
Something I am seeing on my phone is that the charge sound is a default "ding" sound instead of the charging sound that is in the /system/media/audo/ui folder. I've checked the /system/biuld.prop and it doesn't appear to be there.
Any thoughts?

I got it figured out. I installed the SetEdit app via Google Play and found that a /system/media/audio/ui file OGG file was missing.

The Global Table has most of the sounds defined in it, at least for Motorola.
I added the file I wanted and now the charging sound is working properly.

mp3 not working as ringtone

hi
my BA recently has become unable to use mp3s as ringtones. i guess it has sth to do with permanantly associating .mp3 with a different programm (stupid me )than the windows media player. but simply re-associating mp3s with wmplayer did not work.
i however can select them in the sounds & notifications window but if i press on play nothing happens. .WMAs work fine btw.
can someone tell me which registry keys are responsible for handling ringtones and the mp3-filetype (possibly with the standart values)?
i am using d-twos wm6.5.3 if thats of any interest

file associations have nothing to do with it. i use an mp3 ringtone and have tcpmp as standard player and can still use the ringtones and select new ones. unfortunately i can't tell you more.
Have you put the mp3's in the map "my documents-my ring tones" ?
That's the place here to switch between standard en own ring tones.
But when it work's in the past well then it's may another problem now.
How can i put a mp3 file to ring on the alarms?

My remaining miscellaneous questions

Ok, I've had the F400S for about a week now, and it's rooted and pimped up a bit with XPosed and GravotyBox.
I'm wondering:
1) Is there any way to change the [Settings > Shortcut key] settings? I would like to set holding volume up to open something else.
2) I listen to podcasts (through headphones) more than anything else on the phone. Right now, pressing play on the headphones with no audio app loaded will load Music app. I would instead like to default to my podcast app (Pocket Casts). It seems this default setting can't be done openly/officially, so I'm wondering if there's a nerdier way to do it.
3) Is anyone else having issue with the built in quite hours function? [Settings > Sound > Quiet Mode] For me, it starts ok, switches to silent and no led, but it doesn't return to normal after the time range ends.
4) I would like to disable or freeze most the LG and korean apps. Are there any that I shouldn't because it is known to cause problems? Normally I would experiment through trial and error, but because there's no ClockworkMod Recovery yet (or is there?) I cant make the backups I'm used to doing before experimenting.
1. I believe there is an xposed module for that. At least there was a while ago that I used on my note 3.
2. I think tasker could work

I tried getting Tasker to run Pocket Casts when headphones are plugged in, which works, but pressing the headphone button still starts music from the Music app.
4) I freeze all of the Korean carrier app on my S, the phone seems to be working fine.
The only problem I have is some app has built-in Korean (e.g. Dialer, Ringtone selector...etc) which I am waiting to replace.

I solved this using Tasker and Send Intent.
In Tasker I created a "Headset Plugged Any" event with the task Send Intent of Action "au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts.action.PAUSE" (this intent is for Pocket Casts)

Ringtone & notificatone tone reset, music players can't find mp3 files. Why?

Don't know what happened, but since my last charge to 100% and G3 reboot, my music players can't find any music, not mp3 single songs or albums.
Also my ringtone has been set to default, as has the notification tone. Can't browse to my original mp3 files to reset them, only the standard tones are available.
I just checked MXPlayer and it can't find my videos. When I checked the MXPlayer settings I saw that no file extensions were selected. When I tried to select file extensions, MXPlayer won't save the extensions!
Phone is rooted with KitKat 4.4.2. Can someone please tell me what's going on???

Hi I was wondering if you got this problem resolved?
I have d852 running candy5 for the late 4 months at least and about a week ago I added a new album to the music folder (like I have done many times in the past) now no music app can see my mp3s and all my ringtones and notification tones gave disappeared... I tried wiping and formatting internal and external SD and clean install of the ROM to no avail...
Hoping you found a solution...

Yes, I should have followed-up. I had updated one of my apps, and it misbehaved, putting a .nomedia file in the root of each memory card. I deleted .nomedia in root and all my media files were visible again!

How do I force set a default music player on my 5X?

I have DoubleTwist (for syncing to my PC) and BlackPlayer (for actually playing music) installed and would like to set BlackPlayer as my default music player. However, whenever I go to Apps > Configure Apps > Default apps, the only four lines I see are:
Browser App: Chrome
Phone App: Phone
SMS App: Textra
Could be a side effect of the new Marshmallow philosophy of "only ask for something (e.g. permissions) when needed, as there's no option to create a new default.
But I even opened an mp3 file from my downloads folder, got the prompt to select a music player, checked off "BlackPlayer" and "always" instead of "just once", and the Default Apps screen didn't change. Also, when I try to open a file manually, BlackPlayer says "Error loading track!" - though this may be a separate issue.
This is a problem, because I cannot start music playback with the screen locked most of the time (sometimes it works, but usually not) using my aux cord, which has inline volume and playback controls. If I try to use OK Google to play music, it says "you don't have a default app selected for playing music, please choose one on the screen at your convenience". But when I open the screen, there's no list of options, and if I say "play music" again it just brings up a search box showing search results for the Play Music app.
This is really starting to get on my nerves that I can't use the cord I bought with controls without first opening my phone and starting music playback manually. Anyone know how to force Marshmallow to automatically play from a specific app using controls?
