[Q] Where does system/media/audio memory come from

---

I tried moving my mp3s (songs, ringtones, notification, & alarm sounds) to my internal EMMC folder since all that internal memory seems to just go to waste. However, my phone was then not able to read/play them and the ringtones, etc could no longer be used either. Through these forums, I found out that's somewhat of a known issue, that internal memory on the Dinc was kinda wacked and has never worked as it should with media.

However, exploring my internal memory via Root Explorer, I realized there's an "audio" folder in the system/media folder which then has folders for alarms, notifications, & ringtones. This is where the stock sounds for each of those is housed. I'm wondering if I transfer my mp3's for each of those into the folder if the Dinc will then recognize and play them - this of course is something I can just try myself and see. But my big question is if I do that will that use the "open" internal memory (which is really my only reason for transferring any of those off the sd card) or will it take away from some other precious system memory of which there is so little extra on the the Dinc?

Thanks for any info in advanced!

it will be stored on the root partition of the phone. it will not really take anything away from you because you need to flash to get anything on that partition. i take all my ring tones and put them into that folder to have them in one spot. one thing is that you will need to reboot the phone before they show up for selection.
