[WTF] Custom ringtone upload ?

[Kanoe]

If somebody will upload the custom ringtone/music file via adb to the /sdcard/Music - no of the stock Sony apps will see it (Sound setting or music player) until reboot My small and stup^H^H Japaneeze devs - here 2017 not the 1997 year !!!!

MX Player sees the files just after upload.

The stock music player is awfull and totally useless. This is big shame for the audio company like Sony. Somebody have to do the harakiri there:

- no way to set the source folders for the music
- nobody knows the source folders names (seems like Music is one of them)
- no way to force folders refresh, so the apps are blind until reboot
- no way to play all the albums you have (!!!!)
- no way to set the play mode (loop album, loop song, go to next album)

It is not the player but the bleeding painful useless app at the "such named top" phone ;(

That's got nothing to do with the sony music app! This is android's stock-media-server's problem, which is a real plague for a long time. Apps, that show new items immediately are doing a different thing: They actively watch specific folders (whether they are customizable or not) and usually don't rely on android's on-board-toys.

About the other point: I agree with you.:good:

Well, the google developers are brain dead by the definition - they just screwing the Linux all the time in favor of Android (try to connect the password-less bluetooth device to the recent Android for ex.). There is excellent "inotify" syscall which they are not aware about. But the google dumbness do not excuse the Sony here

You simply put it in the Ringtone, Notification , Alarm folder on the internal and it will show up when you select Ringtone, Notification, Alarm.
You can also store it on you SD card if you create the folders Ringtone, Notification , Alarm first. They can also be store in a folder

Again - I do not have the sdcard. It is the internal storage. Pushing the file to the Notification/Ringtone/Alarm folder just give you nothing - you still do not have the stock sound choices.

Putting any sound in any of the folders lets the stock audio picker see the file. If you put it in Ringtone audio picker will see a new ringtone, notification, alarm works the same.
It doesn't matter if you put the folders on the internal or external. The most important is that the folders "Ringtone", "Notification", "Alarm" are in the root of internal or external.

I literally just tried this before I posted my comment.

Update your fw/flash another one/replace your phone.
It's obviously defect since it works for everyone else but you.
