Root SuperClean 2.8 does not recognize ringtones added to system folder

[seanatsb]

So far SC 2.8 has been mostly good. However, in the past I was able to add new ringtones and notification tones to my system media folder using Root explorer and then was able to select those tones after a reboot. I know with SC2.6 and 2.8 that after i add new tones to the system media folder, when I go to select ringtones, the new ones aren't there. This is so after multiple reboots.

Can anyone help or explain why this is happening?

Thanks

What file type are they? I use ringdroid to make my ringtones...always convert them in the process too.

Did you make sure there were no spaces in the file names? like lets say you used the song "Hells Bells" the file name would be "hells_bells.mp3" Also maybe try converting them to .ogg files

If you select the sound clip from within the media player doesn't it give you a "set as ringtone" option? It does for me. Works fine here.

It should work both ways but if you put them in the system file it will make it so your ringtones don't show up on the music player.

The ringtones/notification tones are .ogg or .mp3 and have no spaces. This is not the problem.
The problem originated because of samsungs music player. When I downloaded or took copies of system notification/ring tones (from other android phones) and put them on my sd card in the media/audio folder so that I could use them, the stupid music player put the ringtones into my playlist. To stop this, I put a .nomedia file in the folders. This however, prevented me from using the files as ring/notification tones. To get around this, I would copy the tones on my SD card and paste them into the system/media folder, reboot the phone, and these tones would now be available for me to select in any application that uses notification tones. I did this with DL05 and DL30 and initial EB01 SC versions. With SC2.8, when I did this process, the newly added tones to the system folder were not recognized, yet these were the same files that I had used before.

I've been messing around for a while now trying to figure this out, so I removed the .nomedia from my tones folders to allow me to select these tones from the SD card. I then found out that the new music player (version 2.2.1) no longer shows these tones as songs. So therefore, I know have a solution to my problem.

Though it does not explain why the newly added files in the system folder were not recognized. However, randomly, after several reboots and clearing of caches for this reason or that, I went to change a notification tone, and saw that I had two copies of several tones. So now all of a sudden, the phone is recognizing the tones I added to the system/media folder. Weird that it didn't recognize them after the initial reboot.
