What permissions need to be set for media folder .ogg files and folders? All my ringtones, alarm, notification and ui sounds are missing from options when I select them. They are still in the appropirate media folder. I had to do a recovery and something happened that they cannot be seen.

On mine, they're set to 0644 / rw-r--r--
That did not work for me. They files show up then I reboot and they are gone.

Hey all..
I have a few media players installed on my hero, but on the preinstalled one is there a way to get it to ignore a folder? I am currently learning spanish and have about 500 mp3's on the phone. It unfortunatly lists them all on the media player. I want to get it to ignore them so when i let it play my entire playlist on random it wont choose any of those.
is there a way? I have MixZing lite which does have an option to look at specific folders, but it wont intergrate with the lock screen (which is really very handy!). I tried adding the .nomedia onto the directory but to no avail....
I had the same problem, so far all I've done is hide the entire folder by stiking a '.' on the front of the folder e.g. hide the folder 'hidestuffinhere' by renaming it '.hidestuffinhere' using Astro or something.
The media player ignores everything under these folders:
\Media\Alarms
\Media\Ringtones
\Media\Notifications
However, if you move your spanish mp3s into these folders, they'll show up in alarms, ringtones or notifications.
sweet! that will solve my ringtones issue to then
just moved ringtones to the folder /media/ringtones but not showing up in the ringtone selection... should i do a reboot first?
Try a reboot,
If it doesn't work, backup your SD to your PC. Then format the SD card through the phone and recopy your data back.
That worked for me.

Yeah, I use Astro, and it works fine.
Yep just used Astro to change my download folder (where I download ringtones to on my sd card) anyways in the music player it used to show a load of unknown albums and list the weird ringtones I had downloaded.
Changed the folder through Astro .downloads and now the music player doesn't pick up those unwanted files.
The other alternative is:
Using notepad, create an empty file
save the file as .nomedia (do not save as .txt, but "All files")
add the file .nomedia to the folder you want to avoid showing media from
This works for video, photos and MP3. They can still be accessed using file explorer.
Hope that helps
anyone know the default folder for ringtones and notification sounds? I have hundreds on my sd but nothing shows up when I go to sound settings. Tried making folders "media" and "audio" on sdcard and sdcard1 but nothing is working so far.
notifications folder
create a new folder on the root of your SDcard, name it "ringtones" or "notifications". then put your audio files there.
works like charm on my phone.
found it here: new-htcphones.com.
This directory worked well for me:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications (or ringtones)
Ok, nevermind. It didn't work as well on the Rezound as on my DInc.
Confused! I have a sound file on the SD card that I used to use for the notification sound of my prior phone (shift). All the sound files need to be in a dir under system/media/audio/ notifications. I tried copy paste via Astro but the permissions prevent the paste action. How do I get the file moved to where the LTE is expecting it?
I can get it to show up as a ringtone choice. But when I go to settings, sounds, default notification, it is not there.
I have had some issues with astro lately when using it to 'move' (copy paste). Just a hunch, but try doing this using Root Explorer.
Solved:
After failing to copy via all file explorer apps I connected to my computer with debug mode on. I was able to copy paste to the notifications folder & now the phone lists it as a choice. I made it my default & all is well. Lot of work for a simple task?

If you are not r00ted, or S-OFF, HTC Dev unlocked, you will not be able to use Astro or Root Explorer (my personal favorite) to move the files to the correct location, so you would need to download the notification.
Settings => Sound => Notification Sound
Then, you will see an option called "Shifter" which might be the same.
If not, click on the [Get More] button in the upper-right hand corner, to download whatever you like.
If this fails, then you can connect to your computer via USB ~ TWRP Recovery has a great mount option as well... ~ and you can copy and paste at will.

With a root file manager navigate to root-system/media/audio, then replace the folders with the ones provided in the zip. Verify that the permissions are correct (folders and files inside), then reboot. Its a good idea to make a backup folder with the stock files in case you want to revert to the stock sounds.

Just unzip, move the 'audio' folder into the 'notifications' folder on your device and reboot. Make sure you delete the extracted folder for where ever you extracted to and keep what's been moved in 'notifications' folder or you'll get duplicates for each sound. If you do have duplicates then just accept it or look through one by one and delete duplicated sound from 'notifications' folder.
I'm theory you can have these sounds anywhere as it will just pick up the .ogg files and add it to your list of sounds. I like to keep them separate in 'notifications' folder.
Hope this helps and don't forget to thank if it did.

I have just
duplicate your different folders (UI, notifications etc etc) in the folder audio,
Change permissions for each files,
not delete the original folder, just rename with 'back' at the end.
And no sound!!!

You don't have to move anything into the system - media - audio folder or change any permissions. These can be in your download folder and they will still be picked up.
A while back Samsung made it so you can't add any audio to the media - audio location in your device so from then we just move the ogg files to the notification folder on your sdcard (not external bit may still work).
Thank-you for the sharing.
You can also unzip and paste all the files to : /storage/extSdCard/media/audio/notifications
Or
/storage/extSdCard/media/audio/ringtones
No need to be root [emoji3]
