Deleting Ringtones thru Root Explorer

I had made some custom ringtones thru iTunes and a ringtone app. They show up under Menu/Settings/Sound/Phone Ringtone. Most show up on the sd card under media either Ringtones (a folder I created for the iTunes one) and media/audio/ringtones.
But when I go to system/media thru Root Explorer, only the stock ones show. Using eVils 1.18 rom.
How can I delete the ones under Menu/Settings/Sound/Phone Ringtone? If I can't see them thru root explorer. Or, am I looking in wrong place?

Files in the /system/media folder are the system ringtones. The ones that you saved are on the sdcard under /media.
The ones you see under settings are all the ringtones from both the system and sdcard.
I personally don't use any of the system ringtones...so I delete them with Root Explorer. But, to see the effects...you must reboot. At this point...you'll only see your saved ringtones when you go back into settings. Hope that's what you were asking to solve.

Thanks SiNJiN76,
I now understand.
Problem now is I have some ringtones in Menu/Settings/Sound/Phone Ringtone that don't show on the sd or root explorer. They don't even have the right song tied to the title. Almost like they multi duplicated.
How can I delete them. My guess is I can't unless I restore.
Thanks,
Ken

I'm a bit stumped here. Maybe use the search function on Root Explorer for those file names? I know that I often overlook the search function all the time. Maybe the app that you used is somehow populating the menu with those ringtones hidden in its own folder somewhere? Hope I've been able to give you clues to solve this mystery of yours.

No problem,
It is a wierd one, I have 7 ringtones titled Hotel California that play Gypsy. Not sure how they got there or why there is 7 of them.
They only appear on the phone dropdown menu for ringtones, nowhere else.
I'll try the search.
EDIT: Search found them. Deleted, rebooted, gone. Thanks for the tip. It is a forgotten function.

when I try and delete it says I can't because the file is system read only file. Checked properties, but it doesn't show that (like a normal computer property list). So how do you change this so I can delete the stock ringtones which I never use?

Be sure to use a file explorer that has root access. If you are using the latest version of root explorer, it asks you if you temporarily want to mount as read/write (something like that). Once deleted restart the phone.

Sounds (alarm, notification, calls) always reverting to default one

Hello everyone,
Posting this for my wife,
I've got some problems with her phone...
It's sound related, I don't know how and even why, but her notification sounds, alarm sounds et ringtone sound are always reverting to default ones a few time after setting them to which one she wants.
Sound are on SD card, she doesn't unmount her sd card or something like that.
I even created a sound profile but it changed sound again :'(
Phone is Stock, unrooted, etc. It does the same in gingerbread, and now in ics.
If anyone can help me it would be much much appreciated
Thank you.

Just take a file browser on your phone (Solid Explorer is a really great one) and then just copy & paste Best would be to copy them in /system/media/audio/ and than choose the right folder for your file from /alarms, /notifications or /ringtones

Ringtone Folder Location

I've got some ringtones & notification tones I want to put on my Note 5 from my Note 4, but can't seem to find the right folder. I tried the Ringtone folder, but it doesn't show up on the list when I try to assign them. Can anyone give me the correct location for it/them?

If you are rooted; system / media / audio / ringtones. If you are not rooted use another file explorer besides the stock one and use it to navigate to your regular ringtone folder and select it that way.

Disable camera shutter sound on LOLLIPOP

hi guys,
big problem:
the camera "shutter sound menu" is not shown on LOLLIPOP!!! i found this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795566
but nothing of this tips will work (no feature.xml, no others.xml AND NO ´/system/csc/´ folder exists. deleting the OGG files in the media folder will also not work). i think this will work on KK only. so i open a new thread for a lollipop-solution.
does a mod exist to enable the camera shutter sound menu ??? I HATE THE CAMERA-SOUNDS (click,click,click,click,click..... and all eyes on you); TERRIBLE!
regards,
chris
(device: G900F / Android 5.0 / BB G900FXXU1BOK1, stock rom but rooted)

nobody an idea????

You can just rename or delete the shutter sound inside system/media.

no way! after restarting the cam-app the files will be replaced.

Thats not true, I've done it. The system cant create a new audio file. Use root explore and rename all the camera click sounds in the system media folder. It really is that easy.

sorry, it doesn´t work. i deleted the files with root-explorer, but the sounds are not silent.
i toke a look into the "samsungcamera3.apk". the sounds are stored in this apk-paket. i think that´s the problem.
chris

This was what I was referring to but you can try wanam xposed for lolipop it has the option to remove the click sound. Requires xposed framework also.

Stock Ringtones from Pie

Hi. I'm looking for a few of the stock sounds as used on my Nokia 8. Is there any way I could extract them from a downloaded phone image or does anyone have copies they could upload for me. In particular I'm looking for Ring Ring from ringtones and Message 3 & 9 from notifications. Any help or info would be appreciated. Andy

You can copy the sounds by using a file manager on your Nokia 8. I suggest Ghost Commander.
Tap on the three dots, then Location, then Change location. Enter /system
"Ring Ring" is under /system/media/audio/ringtones/ and the Message sounds are under /system/media/audio/notifications/
If you have downloaded a Nokia 8 firmware, you can find these files in the system image - if you have software that can open it.

Hi. Thank you very much indeed! I achieved what I wanted using Ghost Commander as you suggested. I hadn't realised I could access files that way without the phone being rooted. Thank you again - Andy
