Hey. Ok so ever since I've been rooted I've only used leedroid roms and nvr had major problems but in the most recent release I can't get any music player to work. The one he supplies won't detect my music and neither is power amp... Thnx for any help
I can't say why it's not working on your phone, but what i can say is that i've no problems listening to my MP3's on Lee's ROM with the default player. Which file format do you use? Have you tried to copy it to another folder with a file explorer? It had once a problem with a pdf file but after i copied it to another folder it worked.

Hey guys,
Has anyone been able to successfully remove the sample music tracks and pictures from the internal storage on the transformer?
I have tried Total Commander & ASUS File Manager as well as Windows MTP deletion, but the files just won't go away.
I have tried using ADB (it works on PressReader, the redundant Zinio app), but I can't seem to reference 'spaces' on the CLI.
So I 'cd' to system/sdcard/Music/ and attempt
rm 01 Buzz Dees_Mitkomm.mp3
which gives me "Can't find 01, no such..etc" which indicates it can't understand the spaces. Any tips for spaces?
I am rooted and busyboxed on Revolver 2.0 ROM, Android 3.2 and type-B60 transformer.
Cheers.
I don't see any sample files, maybe because I'm on custom rom. What does the asus file manger says when you want to delete them ? Maybe the files have read only access, but I doubt it. Try to delete them via the music player and via gallery.
Hope it helps.
Hmm. I guess they're not really intruding into my UX, so it's a minor problem atm.
You probably don't see any because when you flashed your ROM, it wiped the sdcard folder too. I used a modified recovery to ensure sdcard isn't touched so I don't have to put files back on every time / make unnecessarily large nandroid backups.

lol you must not have read too much of the thread... The last few pages have quite a few posts in regards to it... Just so you know, you should really use the search function otherwise you're gonna get flamed a lot, especially asking a ? like this in the thread...lol
For the sounds you needed to flash the update from your ext sd card not the internal. If you flash from the ext sd it will make a folder with all the sounds. From there you can put the tones you like back into system/media folder. Make sure you don't put them all back as you won't have enough room. Also make sure you use a file explorer that lets you change system to r/w otherwise it won't let you copy the files there... I use es file explorer or smanager... If you don't want to flash that again, which won't do anything really, you can just open the update file and extract the media folder and transfer from there...
I have some music files I copied to the "Music" directory of my Note. The stock player won't find them. They are all MP3 files. I downloaded a trial of PowerAmp and that won't find them either. I have the card (a 64GB) formatted as FAT32. If I use root explorer I can find and play them manually. Is there a music app I can download that will open and list them normally or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
Silly question but did you put a .nomedia file into the directory these songs reside. If there is a .nomedia file then the music players won't see anything in there no matter what, neither will any other media app, video or pictures won't be found by their respective apps until you use a file explorer to oen them manually...
You may need to go to settings in your file manager and allow to see hidden files....

Thanks for your response!
Yes I saw when searching for a solution that some apps might install such a file but it's not there. I'm rooted and use Root Explorer and made sure that hidden files are viewable. Interesting also that RockPlayer does see and play the files. Any other suggestions? I did also use CWM recovery to clear the Davlik Cache, and also cleared data from media storage in app settings and rebooted without luck. Thanks.
Hi everybody! I'm new to the forum and to Android devices too, so please forgive me if I'm making some simple mistakes.
I've recently bought this beautiful device, and I've recently customized it with MaximusHD ROM so now I'm running Android 4.2.2 + Sense 5.0
I want to add my customized iPhone ringtones to my One S. I've googled for something that around the world and it seems damn simple but I cannot manage it to work as expected. I've searched also this forum and the instructions seems everywhere like this:
1) plug your device to the computer
2) transfer your ringtones to the equivalent folder on the device (somewhere it's called ringtones, somewhere else Ringtones I don't know if it's important or not)
3) that's it! You can add your ringtones browsing into Settings - Sound.
Well, I perform the steps but no ringtones at all!
I've tried to replace their extension from .m4r to m4a and also mp3 but nothing changed.
I've tried to reboot and or switch off my device, nothing.
I've tried to put the ringtones in the Download folder and the move them from inside the device with Solid Explorer, nothing.
I've tried to put them in Music folder, nothing at all...
What's wrong?
The ringtones aren't bought from iTunes, they are simple mp3 cropped to 30 sec with this site http audiko dot net/
They are DRM free in fact Solid Explorer can playback them regardless their file extension.
I've even found a thread where it's talking about a .nomedia file in the folder, but it's not the case of my device with Android File Transfer and Solid Explorer I don't see any .nomedia file into Ringtones folder.
Thank you for your help in advice!
Give "media scanner" from play store a try...
Sometimes even my phone needs some time to find all new custom ringtones...

Hi, where can I find that option on Play Store?
However in the meantime I've found a solution.... really strange but it works.
I've sent the mp3s via Bluetooth. I had to rename it from m4r to mp3 first but after that I've transferred them to the phone, Settings -> Sound displayed them instantly without rebooting the device. I've noticed that they're stored in downloads/bluetooth folder.
It seems to me that if the Sense doesn't "see" the files then it won't work nevertheless the folder I put them in.
But I can live with mp3 stored in downloads/bluetooth folder. :laugh:
It just sounds really strange to me it doesn't work in the easier way.
I assume that your device is rooted. Use ES File Explorer ... tools ... root explorer ... mount R/W ... then, open system folder ... media folder ... audio ... ringtones. That's where to copy and paste your ringtones. Afterward, simply change ES File Explorer back to R/O and reboot. Your new ringtones will now be in the settings menu.

Yes, it's rooted since I've installed MaximusHD ROM.
In one of my attempts I've tried to put the ringtones in that folder with Solid Explorer (that asked me for permissions) then I rebooted the device but still nothing, only I don't remember if in that attempt the file extensions were mp3 or m4r (ven if it seems it doesn't matter, at least to the file manager that playback them even if I rename it .ogg).
There's one thing that I don't understand: I've noticed that Android File Manager shows me the content of /storage/emulated/0 folder; however in the folder /storage/emulated/0/Ringtones there are two ringtones (hangouts_message.ogg and hangouts_video_call.ogg) that system sound settings recognize without problems. The thing that I don't understand it's why it doesn't work if I put my files among this two.
Oh and there's also another ringtone that the system sound settings recognize and it's placed in /storage/emulated/0/media/audio/notifications but again if I put my files there they aren't recognized.
I don't understand why files sent via Bluetooth works while transferring directly in the proper folder by USB don't...
They can be ogg or mp3 files, either will work. However they need to be placed into system folders, not simply put into storage folders of internal memory on your sd card. In order to do that you will need root explorer or ES file explorer, and mount the system as I explained earlier. If you need a step by step instruction, let me know.

Hi, thank you. What's really sound strange to me it's that a "normal user" has to root his device to put some ringtones on it while using Bluetooth everything works fine. I mean, even Apple let you put your ringtones with iTunes, without jailbraking the iPhone.
Besides, if this is the only method that works, then I really don't understand what is the purpose of Ringtones, Notifications folders in the /storage/emulated/0 (those normally displayed by Android File Transfer app) if they doesn't do what expected.
Those folders already existed on the phone, I didn't touch anything.
Actually, the Maximus rom changes your sd card ... my guess is, that is what is keeping you from simply dropping the files into the ringtone folder, like you can on a stock rom. None the less, if you are rooted, the best and most complete way, is to do what I described earlier.
Yeah, it's possible. I can ask on the official topic of that ROM maybe.
Thank you for your help I'll make a test and let you know if it worked.

Would anyone know offhand how to get Android root system folders to read all audio formats? They are .ogg under root>system>media>audio>ringtones & notifications by default. When I add .mp3, .wav & other .ogg files they can't be used. I'm running 6.0.1 N920P. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same as any version of Android, sound files go in sdcard/media.

Works fine for me, well, mp3's anyway, don't have any wav. I always put my favorite audio files in the system folder too. I put them in there before I flash the rom, but have also used FX or Root Explorer to just drop them in if I forgot before flashing.
Have no idea why your's wouldn't be working. I did it with both the PC3 odin (dropped them in afterword) and tdunham's deodex rom (dropped them in before flashing)

I've always done the same thing. Never before flashing though. Don't know why that should make any difference. mp3's & aac file have always played from the root folder just fine. I'm using his dedexed PC3 rom also. When I do it. It just plays a default tone for all 900 file! #$&^%(@! I made sure they all had the same read & write access & everything. It's all good though. I put them in the internal memory. Works the same. I'll leave well enough alone.
