[Q] How do I remove/hide Let's Golf audio files?

As the title ask's, does anyone know how to keep these from playing in the music app. I know I can not delete the sound files or the game will not play (already tried ), but jogging and at work is getting a little annoying when every other song on shuffle is a golf wave lol. Any help would be appreciated.

Put empty .nomedia file in the gameloft directory on sdcard, and reboot.

+1 to that.
Do I use root explorer and please be more descriptive..noob. Thanks

try the app MixZing... lets you specify the root folder where you store all your music you want to shuffle from... nice replacement for the stock...

Can't seem to let me create a .nomedia file, perhaps you meant to make a .nomedia folder?

Make a blank text file in Windows. Rename it .nomedia and copy it onto your n1

Does not work.. Any more suggestions?

Windows won't let you create a file with no name, only extension. It doesn't mean anything for Android, which is Linux and operates with such files. Create the file on the phone with the following command in Terminal Emulator:
echo "" > .nomedia
Move the file to the right place using Windows, if you want.

Check that you did it correctly, and reboot. There is no other way, and this one works - if it doesn't for you, you're most probably doing something wrong.

Will try the emulator method.. thanks

If you're doing it in Windows, open a command prompt to rename the file.
rename <filename> .nomedia

You might already have a .nomedia file in some of your directories already. Using Astro you can copy them to the Golf folder.
However if you don't and you have Windows, create a blank text file on your memory card in the Golf folder and call it nomedia.txt, then when you put it back in your phone use Astro to rename it to .nomedia
Both methods need an SD Card memount for the media software to scan, so either plug the USB in and select Mound then Unmount or reboot the phone.

Downanimation is for when you power off the phone. You can leave that alone.
Yes if you do not rename the old bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zipold it will over write the old file.

now how do i get it from the pc and into the actual system file??? not the sd card
edit!!!!!!!! nvm got it in there!!!!!!11
Edit 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! now it tells me i cant move it into the system/media???

You can push it through ADB if you have it installed but I don't want to confuse you.
1. Plug your phone into the computer. Mount disk drive. ( depending what rom you have you might have to put it in internet pass through mode then usb disk drive)
2. Drag the file onto the sd card. Unmount phone.
3. Using your favorite file manager( RECOMEND ROOT EXPLORER!!) move the bootanimation.zip from the sd card into the correct file folder.
4. With root explorer the correct file system should /system/media folder
inside the media file folder will be the old bootanimation.( rename it to bootanimation.zipold
5. paste new bootanimation.zip reboot and enjoy

Make sure root explorer is not mounted as read only. toggle it in the upper right corner

it wont let me rename move or copy from sd into sytem on file manager but im going to look into root explorer... thats a pay for app right?

Yes but it is worth ever penny and a rooted users best friend. You only have to pay for it once and will transfer to another device in the future with your gmail account. I have five devices that have my gmail account and all of them have my paid apps.

still tells me that i cant rename and or copy or move!!!! WTF!!!! lol.. u think i can flash this??
Edit and i cant get root explorer yet!!!! lol but file manager everything shows up like i can just flash it like a rom??? wht you think?

I made a flashable zip. I'll upload it in alittle bit

Don't think it'll work on our device. And if it did work for the fascinate you would prolly need to be on a touch wiz rom as well.

What Chopper said could be true. At any rate try this:
Long press on your file
Hit extract
Go to the extracted folder
Long press on your extracted file
Hit move or copy
Navigate to system /app folder
Hit the system rw if necessary
Paste the file

I have a different app but same problem. I have ES File Explorer I can copy the file but when I get to system/app I have not been able to figure out how to paste the file. Anyplace I do the long press in system/app there is an app that it thinks I'm wanting to do something with and I don't get the paste option. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Okay so I figured out how to paste it and it wasn't allowed. No I can't find the apk at all. I have even cleared cache and tried to re-download and I get the Ballero-2.apk actually I am up to Ballero-5.apk and can find none of those either.

Es file explorer is not as consistent when it comes to giving you root access, which is what you need to paste in system, app. Imo, root explorer is a must.
Edit; although I read that you can obtain that permission somewhere in the es file explorer settings

[Q] new zoe Zoe themes help on 4.2.2

I figure out the root to the problem some people are having with new 4.2.2 zoe themes giving them the error :
"unable to create video because there is a problem with the original media files"
The audio files that zoe uses for some random reason are messed up for the new themes. They have a file size of 9 bytes when there are normally 1.05 mb. So i replaced music_atlantis.mp3 (one of the new themes) with another mp3 files that also lasted 32 seconds, and changed the name of it music_atlantis.mp3 . When i went to zoe the theme worked but of course with a different audio.
If one of you guys that have all themes working could be kind to upload those audio files it would be great I'm sure I am not the only one having that problem.
this is the location : /sdcard/Android/data/com.htczeroediting/files/zeroeditor/resources/music
I uploaded two screenshots one with the error and the other with the files i believe need to be overwritten with the correct ones. Thanks

Hi, go into the 'Android/Data/com.htc.zeroediting/files/zero_editor/resources/' folder and rename the 'music' folder to something different and then try the new highlights again and it will recreate a new music folder with all the new highlights working, then you can go back and delete the old music folder.

worked like a charm!!! thanks

beautiful fix... now I don't really want to erase my entire SD card anymore... lol Moved everything else over so it should be fine... hopefully lol

When I change the name of the music folder, it does create anther folder titled "music", but still has the same corrupt .mp3 files in it. Only six of the files work, the others are 9 or 10 bytes.
I'm on 4.1.2, and these files seem to be included also.
I actually landed here after tracking down a mediaserver wakelock issue I'm having. Turns out the .mp3s being used for highlights might be the culprit, but I can't seem to fix them or delete them without them being recreated when I watch a highlight reel. Even if I just delete the corrupt files, they are recreated when I load a highlight reel up.

I'll upload the folder that I have for music just overwrite it and see if it helps

there are the audio files that should be inside that music folder. just download them all and save them inside that folder so you overwrite the others. By the way these include the audio files for the new themes as well in case anyone else needs them.

Thanks for the help. It looks like a few of the files you provided are still not the right size (music_brooksburg.mp3, music_fields.mp3, and music_monterey.mp3).
I copied it all over regardless, but there's still only six options showing up in the highlight reel (Polaris, Avalon, Vega, Eifel, Burbia, Islandia). Maybe the option will only appear in 4.2.2?
I checked the files after using the highlight reel and the system didn't change any of the mp3's I copied over, so there's that.
I'm more concerned with getting the files right to help with wakelock, even though I'm not sure this is culprit.

Yea the new themes you'll need 4.2.2 . And yes those 3 are still only 9bytes . But they are not themes so they are not used therefor they shouldnt be giving you problems

Thanks very much

Has anybody created custom themes yet? Wondering if there is a forum/thread dedicated to custom highlight videos. It'd be great to have a community of themes/music to share to add a little variety to the HTC One's highlight videos.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Highlights worked--I think???--before activating my phone. But once the Carrier package was installed (Sprint) this feature only had the hangouts "Pop" file.
I had written to a friend who reviewed the One for PC Magazine and HTC but never got any response for getting these files. I really appreciate this rollsrd!

I tried the renaming Music folder trick. It did not work until I shutdown gallery and then reopened. Probably obvious, but just thought I'd mention it.

Renaming the folder did the trick for me also.

Your dropbox isnt working. Can you please reload? :fingers-crossed:

I'm uploading them again for you. But this time I also added the ones from sense 5.5 . Just make sure you get only those you need they should take a fe minutes to complete but not too long

[Help] Unable to delete files with special characters

Hello guys!
I've been struggling to find a way to delete (or move) some files from Moto X. Usually music files with special characters in the name. So ones with apostrophe or acute accent or tilde cannot be deleted or moved at all. My current music player also cannot play or recognize their tags, so I'm not able to edit them. Not even using Root Explorer.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Edit: tried and it worked like a charm to delete the folders with the files inside, but not the files alone. What I did then, I deleted the entire Music folder with all the files inside using Root Explorer itself and it worked! I had to reboot the phone after because the system wouldn't let me create a Music folder manually.
Thanks again @aviwdoowks!
