Hello everyone and great to be here.
While playing with files in system\app I somehow deleted files with bluetooth things. Appreciated any helper can post all of bluetooth files in system\app folder.
Thanks,
I decided to replace my system/audio folder with that of ics and now they show up twice plus other audio files I deleted. How can I fix this? Is there another location that has these audio files?
NM. I had extracted a rom on my sdcard and that's why it showed up twice.
Mod please delete. My bad
Hello,
I've been searching through the forums but I cannot find anyone with the same problem as me, here it goes:
I copied a mp3 file onto the ringtones folder, and then I can select it to be used as my ringtone. As I do not want to listen this when I'm listening music, I've aded a .nomedia file to the ringtones folder. Then, the Play Music app does not shows anymore this ringtone. This is what I expected.
Later, when I've received a call, the ringtone I've selected did not sound, instead the phone ringed with the standard "Triton" ringtone. Went to sound settings, and my custom ringtone is not there.
Removing the .nomedia file from the "Ringtones" folder, makes the custom ringtone appear again on "ringtone selection" options.
I did this many times on my old Galaxy Nexus phone without troubles, but It's not working on my N5, Do you know if this is a common issue, or I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks!
Try an .ogg instead. If that doesn't work, move the .ogg to /system/media/audio/ringtones

I've added .ogg file at Ringtones on "sdcard", and did not show.
The next thing was copy the file to /system/media/audio/ringtones with es file explorer and restarted the phone before checking. No luck neither.
Removing the .nomedia file from the "sdcard" folder, I can select the ringtone again at settings. Seems that somehow the .nomedia is also read by "settings"

.nomedia is global. Put it in a folder and android assumes no media.

Not sure if this matters, but did you check permissions?

Thanks for the info, I think I was using this on my old galaxy nexus and worked as I wanted, but all the clues point to what you said.

Put the .nomedia in the media (/sdcard/media/) folder instead of ringtones (/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/) folder. It should work

It is not working...
Hello there,
Every time I connect USB Mass storage, all my notifications and ringtones get reset and it's quite annoying. So I'm trying to put the in the /system partition instead.
I tried to copy .ogg files to /system/media/audio/notifications and /system/media/audio/ringtones, then set the permissions to 0644 but they don't show up in the media storage when I choose to choose a notification sounds, even after a restart.
Tried googling about it, but it's specific and I could not find any good information. Anybody knows if I'm supposed to do something else to make it work?
I have a mediatek mtk6582 (Doogee DG700) by the way, if this helps
I found the problem.. turns out I used a recursive chmod command to set all the files permissions assuming the folders had the same permissions.
I had set the audio folder to 0644 to all subfolders also had 644, which prevented the media scanner to execute in these folders and scan the media. I noticed this problem when I could not play a sound in that folder using ES File Explorer.

Wow. Thanks for this. I've been scratching my head as to why I couldn't see my files I'd copied to system/media/audio/notifications
Setting permissions correctly resolved the problem
