On most android devices, personal media files need to go in mnt/sdcard/media/audio/... (/ringtones or /notifications or /alarms) but I can't get anything to work on my A101 IT.
I've tried both the internal storage as well as the external, i.e. mnt/storage/media/.. and mnt/storage/sdcard/media/.. without luck. There was also a mnt/storage/audio which I found and tried (added notifications folder to it containing a bunch of mp3's) without success.
Is it simply not possible or do they go somewhere else or is there a special format which needs to be used or what?

Hi everybody,
i'v got the most annoying issue..
couldnt find a solution anywhere..
I can't seem to be able to set the target folder for incoming bluetooth files.
no matter how i turn this around it doesnt seem to work, i'v added a folder on my SD called 'incoming files', went to the file transfer wizzard in the bluetooth settings and set the folder in the box, the two boxes below (save files to storage card when present; allow incoming file transfer connections) are ticked with V's.
now, when i send files to my hd2, they are still saved to the SD's root.. i'ts driving me crazy!
i'v tried unticking the "save files to storage card when present" box, i thought maybe if it is selected the files will defaultly go to the SD's root, but when this option is unticked the files get saved to the internal storage, altough the path to the SD is still selected above..
help anyone?..
i dont do much bluetoothing, so i havent tested this in many different scenarios, but i never adjust anything in the actual BT program when i flash.
I have a cab of tweaks for this sort of thing, and these two reg edits seem to do the job nicely. Not had it fail yet receiving from teh pc and the gfs n95.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Services\0002
InboxDirectory = \Storage Card\Incoming
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Services\0003
Root = \Storage Card\Incoming
TNX allot for the tip, i'll be sure to try this tonight and update
Hello
I wish to hide some audio files from Windows Media Player 10 Phone.
for example when I choose Update Library on Windows Media player 10 Phone, I want to WMP don't add audio files from My Ringtones folder & My SMStones folder to its library, because I don't want listen unwanted mp3s every time I use media player!
Everybody has a solution to help Windows Mobile Phone Owners!?
This is an arsed about method, but, remove the file you don't want media player to see, then update the library,, finaly replace the remaining files from whence they came
Thank u, But after next "update the library", they will be added to windows media player library.
A better solution?
for starters you could browse this thread "[REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks", if no satisfying solution is provided there, then:
- one option is to use different music player, e.g. Nitrogen (free) or Pocket Player ($$$)
- another to set folders you don't want to see as hidden in file explorer - but the you will not see them in other apps should the need happen,
- finally, you can edit the registry to exclude unwanted folders in the way described here - works for me, at least for the folders on SD Card

Hi,
I'm trying to create a desktop (java based) application that extracts SMS from an android device and prints the SMS onto a relational database. I just have a few questions......
/*Answer Found*/
After research I found out that the SMS are stored in a database. I've been pointed in various directions, but the most common is directory is com.android.provider.telephony.SMS although I can't actually find it on my phone. My phone is rooted and I'm looking for the file using a "File manager" app from the Play store.
So my first question would be "Where is the SMS database stored"? I'm assuming it's the same place for all phones as long as it's android based. Please correct me if I'm wrong......
I'm aware the database will be encrypted. Does anyone know what type of encryption is on the database, and if so - is it easy to crack?
Thanks in advance,
Wazza
Update: OK - So it turns out the file explorer I was using was a bit......naff. I've downloaded another and am now able to see the relevant DB.
My idea was to run the developers USB debugging mode onto the computer and extract the DB like that - However, the folders / files being shown when it's plugged into the PC are those on the SDCARD. (I believe this is the level above root?).
Update 2: Seems as if I jumped the gun posting this topic. A few more hours research and I've got to where I need to be.
For those who don't know - this is how I did it.
Plugging your phone into the PC and selecting USB Debugging mode temporarily disables the "SDCARD" on your phone so you can't tamper with it whilst uploading files via the PC.
I downloaded a file manager that allows the user to view root access files / folders. I then found the mmssms.db, copied it and pasted it into a folder on the "SDCARD". I was then able to plug the phone into USB Debugging mode and transfer the database file from the phone onto my desktop.
My next challenge is viewing the database. As started in the OP, I'm aware the database is most likely encrypted. How would I go about breaking this encryption and viewing it on a database.
:good:
If you want to make backup of SMS, just use SMS Backup & Restore. It will export your database to xml file.

Thanks przemcio but I'm doing it as a project. I don't want the easy way around
I have an ATT SGS3 and today I flashed 4.2. Everything is cool, but due to multiple flashes over the past few days, I had several (0) folders on my SD card. I know this is due to 4.2 having the option to have multiple users. Since I had like 6 (0) folders, I moved my main folder back to the newest folder. The problem? While I can see the folder in Root Explorer and CWM, it does not show up when I plug it into the computer via USB. I only see one folder and nothing else.
How can I fix it so I can see this folder when plugged into the computer? The way it is now, my personal ringtones, music and everything else are not being found as they are not being seen.
Thanks for any help!!
try to uncheck the option of 'hide operating system files' and 'hidden folders' in view-folder option menu of your pc.
Hello Everybody,
I'm wondering anyone figured out already how to share media between users in Android 4.2.2 (Nexus 10)? I mean sharing a large number of photos and movies, something without online connection (no dropbox/drive). A solution without duplicating the files in each account is highly preferred.
I know /sdcard/Android/obb folder is shared, I used it to transfer large files between the accounts. But it is not recognized by Media Scanner / Gallery. Links are not working for me (I tried both - symbolic and hard link, ln -s reports Function not implemented, ln alone Operation not permitted. Not mentioning that root shell doesn't see the content of obb (strange)). Folder sync seems not to work either (even though it states 4.2.2 is supported).
TIA
The same issue in KitKat obviously... Still without a solution
I found a solution.
Use the android/obb folder since it is shared space. I added a Movies folder there can can access it from multiple locations. For MX player to see the movie files I had to uncheck the recognize no media option under settings but it works.
