Hello, i tried several ICS rom which i like bettet then the JB ones, but i see that with all ICS roms i have the same problem of double entries with all the sounds files like alarm, ringtone and notifications.
for example: i have a ringtone called sea breaze and it is showing twice in the ringtone list when i want to change the ringtone in settings->sound->phone ringtone.
the same happens with my alarms and notifications.
i cant seem to work this one out, can anyone suggest a solution for this problem?
Thanks for the help

I tried it and no go. Few of the ringtone seems to apear three times. I tried deleting android/data storage and media folders as well and still nothing.
I think this thing is getting on my nerves.
Can it be something to do with ringtone files themselves??? i took those files from JB version and copied them to my device. I noticed that my old ringtones appear only once, but those i took from jellybean appear twice, maybe this cause the duplicates??

delete all ringtones from system media audio ringtones , reboot , move ringtones to folder again , reboot and check again
But there is no prob with copy/paste or something in the file manager you use??? and you don`t have copied the files so sdcard or something ...
the sounds are only available in the folder "system" and no where else ...
Works the 2nd idea of "The Tox" ???

The sounds were only on internal sdcard. But I think I solved it by moving all the sounds to system/media. And change permissions of the files.
On other ICS roms it didn't matter if I leave my new sounds on internal sd , as long as I don't keep the same ones as in system/media folder.
On this rom I had to try anything even tho the sounds i added were not the same as the original from the rom sounds and were only placed on internal SD.
Never mind that. Thanks for your help guys. This problem I think is solved. I will try the same trick on alarms swell and report the results.
Thanks guys

Okay thx for Info!
Only for me as an info: Could the permission be the problem ??? Not only the moving to system/media???

i really dont know, i tried so many things to solve the problem, so im not sure if the permission had any effect or not, the only thing i do know is that the ringtones now are ok, but the alarm still appear with duplicated files.
since i moving my home to a different city and im packing and a bit busy, so i dont have much time in the next few days to test this again. so for now until friday night i wont be able to play with that thing again and test what maybe the solution.
Okay so when you have time for testing, i`m interested in some infos, when available ...:good:

I've been using custom screen lock sounds for a while now, because the default sounds were bad.
Silent for locking and the iPhone sound for unlocking.
I replaced the ogg files in the folder using Root Explorer and all that.
It's been working up until now.
Just out of the blue, the sounds are different and I can't change them..
I even deleted the ogg files in the audio folder and they're still there!
I haven't made any changes to the phone to make this happen..It just randomly started using different sounds and it's really ****ing annoying now.
halp
UPDATE!!
I was looking at the properties of those lock and unlock ogg files and the timestamp said "1:35am" Today..which is weird 'cause I wasn't even on my phone.
Last time I looked, it was like 1 when I was doing something on my phone and I noticed this stuff at like 10 til.
Which also leads me to believe I might have a virus, becaaaause my malware application popped up and said it was unsafe..looked at the list of the apps that it said were unsafe and the first one was Root Explorer and like basically every other app I have lmao.
Guess I'll be factory resetting and re-flashing MIUI tonight. B|

Well it always thinks that apps that have root access are malicious. If your on Miui, check out the sounds ui in the themes app, those will overide any system sounds, cuz its a theme.

I went ahead and wiped and reflashed MIUI.
Sounds are back to normal. I uninstalled that malware app 'cause it was stupid anyway.
Hello,
perhaps someone has an idea and can help:
when i select an individual ringtone to one of my contacts it does not fit. If he is calling it always plays the standard/default ringtone from the settings.
I tried tonepicker and winamp but didn't help. I shows me the selected individual mp3 file in the contact setting, but doesn't play it when he is calling.....
Many thanks and regards
Rod
Look in your SD card for a folder called ringtones.if it doesn't exist create a folder called ringtones.now copy your mp3 tunes to that folder and they should appear when u select a ringtone under contact
many thanks for your replay...but the folder already exists and i can select the mp3 in and for the contact but, if he is calling me, the standard/default ringtone will be played :-(

this function works for me, all I can recommend is backup your important infomation. then reset the phone and see if the issue still exists.
its an extreme fix but its essentially the next level of "turn it off and on again"
hope this helps.
ok thanks a lot think i will try it as you said.....there is also a brand new version of my rom available since a couple of minutes so this is a good chance to reset everything an install it new
First try to change the default ringtone in settings/sound/ringtone.then return to contact and set the ringtone again.still not working try reboot and do it again...if this doesn't work.then a factory reset is necessary.
I tried again to set the ringtones to default. Select one mp3 again as an individual tone, restarted, set permissions, wiped in CWM.....but no success...
Because a new romversion, i wiped and formated everything again anyways and installed the new rom. But also with this action: the selected individual ringtone in the contact does not play when he is calling...
Think its rom related, and its not a big problem, i don't care.....think i will try an other ics perhaps next week, then i will report again whether its working with other rom on my S1
regards
Rod
Okay. My last suggestion.download a music player(eg. Poweramp or playerpro) and change the default ringtone and reboot, then try set contact ringtone again.
PS. Did u copy/paste your music mp3 files to the ringtone folder on your sd-card.
many many thanks for your efforts!
I tried it with poweramp and with tonepicker....yes i have it on the internal sd card in ringtones folder....a few minutes ago i tried it with an other contact again, because in the past i always used the same contact and phonenumber, so i thought perhaps the contact was corruped....but alos no success...
As i said no big thing for me, perhaps when i have time i will deinstall the stock contact app and the phone apk and change to an other app. Perhaps this give some changes . Many thanks again.
Soo here are some news .....yesterday i tried it with the new updated version of the installed ROM, but no success, even the same, can chose a different ringtone, but its not playing....(did all wipes and formats before flashing the update)
Today i installed an other based ROM complete new (also different Kernel), and after selection the individual ringtone? it works like it should.....!
The years go by and an ancient bug still resists.. "android.process.media" still scans all sdcard folders searching for media files and it takes AGES and a lot of battery, even in folders with a ".nomedia" file. This is specially grotesque with folders like "clockworkmod/blobs", which has 3870 sub-folders...
ps.: I'm using vanir 4.4.4

Maybe something like this? http://geeknizer.com/fix-android-media-server-scanner-sdcard-cpu-battery-drain/
Our device is not the only one with that kind of a problem.

Yes I know. It was a generic Android complaint
But theses "fixes" are actually a "hack": They will just prevent it from happening (workaround) or completely disable it.. the media scanner IS a good thing, but not the way it is being done..

Hit to the Google developers for your help maybe. :angel::angel::angel:
Hello,
I've uploaded a couple of mp3 files to use as notification sounds for gmail and my email client. I placed them in the ringtones folder on my internal sdcard, like I always do with my Nexus 4 (which always works). However on my One m7 they are not showing up in the list of sounds.
Does Sense 6 require they be placed in the system or should they be read on the sdcard as I am a bit stumped by this?
Thanks.

Do you have the files in the right format? They should be .ogg files.
Oh right, I assumed like aosp they would read mp3 too.
Ps. Tried converting the mp3 to ogg, still not showing up in the list.

Mine are in the Ringtones folder on the sdcard. Did you reboot your phone after placing them there? You also might check in /data/media/0/Ringtones.
Hi all,
I use a couple of apps that I use custom notification sounds for. However, when I test or get a notification on said app, the Note 9 "seizes" the notification and plays the default notification. IOW, my custom setting has no affect. So I miss the event in question. Happens on multiple apps, so I know it's the phone.
This thing is amazing, once I got other things straightened out. It really is the Star Trek tricorder. ?
Any ideas? Help much appreciated!
Rich
Bumping this... anyone?
Try a reboot. Should work after the first reboot when you add custom sounds so I doubt it is a legit fix. Something else must be going on.

Been there done that... no change
Have you tried deleting your ringtones or sounds and pasting them back in folder? I'm just throwing mud at the wall here. Once I paste in the folder if it doesn't work right away a reboot let's the OS see it. Is it regular mp3 or ogg format also?

They're ogg format. Tried everything you said. I put custom notification sounds in 0/notifications and it works fine on every other device I own, reboot or not so I know it's in the phone or Oreo. The app (Space Launch Now) lets me set any notification sound I want and has a test button. When I do the test or get a notification the phone won't see the custom sound and plays the default notification anyway, after several reboots also.
This YouTube video is for Note 8 But its the same procure for the Note 9

I Am Having the Same Issue!
Hi Rich, I’ve had the exact same problem and have spent likely 10-20 hours trying to get this to work over months worth of time. I started with Android Pie (9) and Samsung UI 1.0, and had the issue. Recently, I hard-reset my phone, and installed Android 10.0 and UI 2.0, and nothing has been fixed. Also, I exchanged my phone when I first noticed the issue under the old operating system, and both phones are experiencing the same issue!
I select customs sounds for some apps (under Notifications), but they will not sound. Samsung/android takes over the notification and plays the default sound. I have a newer Note10+, on T-Mobile. In fact, yesterday I was working with a senior tech support person at T-Mobile, and we tried everything. He had a Note10+ there, tried changing to the custom sound, and his device also did not work, did not change it to the custom sound!
Just wondering if you ever got this to work, or have you found any workarounds? I would really, really appreciate your response!
Thanks, Dave
I had this exact same issue. I had to strip all of the tags from the mp3 files and put them in the 'notifications' or 'ringtones' folders. Once I did that, they appeared in the built-in media picker and also worked when using esExplorer to set the ringtone or notification.
