what folders are where? - Nexus One General

So just synced my N1 and I am looking at the folders on the sd card. Where are ringtone?..and media files stored?
Do I want to make new folders for music ect?
Any help here on what to do would be great.
thanks

Ringtones, alarms, and notifications are stored internally. You can create a folder called Music on your SD card and put your music in there.

I have read that I should make a folder called Music, with separate folders for alarms, notifications ect. Is this correct?

To do that, on your SD card, create the following trees:
sdcard>media>audio>ringtones
sdcard>media>audio>notifications
sdcard>media>audio>alarms
Once you do this, then add files to each of the 3 folders, reboot and they'll show up just like all the other ringtones that are physically on the phone.

thanks for the help.

Why are sound files shown in the notes

Hi!
I use the notes in outlook and mda compact. In outlook i see only the notes i've created, but on the mda i see much more files (sound files from navigator, etc).
What can i do, that the mda shows only the files, which i can see in outlook?
Thanks in advance!

Yup, me too on the MDA
It is very annoyong, haven't figured a work around yet.
i've found a solution:
The device shows all files from the memory card. You must create a "My Documents" folder and delete the file "ignore_my docs" on the card. It should work then...

Two questions
Where do I create the "MyDocuments"= The torage card? and if so, what goes in there?
Also, I cannot find the "Ingnore_my Docs" folder, program, in my storage card?
you have a "My Documents" in the main memory of your device. You must create a folder with the same name on the storage card. What goes in? Nothing in my case, its just to prevent windows to scan the whole memory card.
The file is there but it is marked as hidden. I used resco explorer to remove it - maybe it also works from the desktop (active sync).

OK
Deleted "Ignore my docs" suing active Sync as you said, and I added a "My Documents" folder on the storage card and....still 200 tomtom voice commands in my notes? I did a soft reset, still no go? Any clues
i think this is an OS issue as wav files are shown in notes application, another solution maybe to create an extra folder. maybe another level i.e. transfer your files to \Storage Card\My Documents\TomTom\Commands\
let me know if this works out and if it does not affect your TomTom Software.
Your trick works fine now
It may be that I needed to soft reset, but I did exactly as suggested and voila! thanx

Tip: Deleting Playlist from Mediascape

Some of you may be having problems with deleting playlist folder from mediascape. When you delete a playlist from Media-Go the mediascape retains an empty folder. Two solutions:
i. Go to Settings >>> Applications >>> Manage Applications >>> Media Storage >>> Clear All Data>>> Restart the phone
This will clear the playlists. Problem is it will clear all media data, be it music or video. While all your media will still be in the SD card you will not be able to retain/view it on x10 unless you erase them via Media-Go and re-upload them. A painstaking task. Nonetheless working one.
ii. When you delete a playlist from Media-Go it only deletes the folder in Media-Go. The X10 retains an empty folder and that is because the songs in that folder are not deleted from x10. Go back to Media-Go>>> X10 (or whatever name you have given to your device)>>> Music - and carefully delete the songs that are/were suppose to be in the now empty playlist folder >>> Restart the phone
I am not too sure about the success of the 2nd step. I stumbled upon it accidentally. I noticed that duplicate songs existed from the playlist I had deleted previously and decided to delete them manually - one by one. When I restarted the phone I found that the empty playlist folder was now gone.
If someone does this and my accidental experiment works do inform.
Notification alerts
I did this and cleared the data and the phone has no tones for any alerts including SD Card, sms, mms etc. Trying to change them just comes up with an empty list.
Restart the phone and it will link the folders up again, just means you need to reset the alerts you want for each notificaation type ie sms, email etc

[Q] Sync Issues

I have a problem with syncing using kies.
i picked folders from my pc for music, pictures and videos i want to sync automatically with my sgs2.
there are several subfolders in either of those categories, but on the phone, the music just all gets copied to the /media/ folder, without subfolders and pictures and videos go to /DCIM/Camera without subfolders.
is there any way to get to sync my folders on the pc with specific folders on the phone? i'd like to keep my pictures separated from the videos and in their respective sub folders. pics from my pc don't belong in the camera folder. the same goes for the music. i want to separate albums and especially audiobooks in their respective folders.
surely there must be settings for this kind of things, but i just can't find anything and i don't want to copy everything back and forth manually every day, just so that new items get copied, especially since the phone does not fully behave like a drive on windows7, either i overwrite the entire folder, or no items will be copied, which is annoying.

The best way I've found is to create a .nomedia file and place it in the game's folder. Open notepad, hit save as, choose all files from the drop-down box, then input .nomedia as a the filename. Then copy that file to the folders that you don't want the media player to access.

Delete .nomedia permanently?

Hey guys,
i'd like to delete the .nomedia permanently inside the "Sent" Folder of Whatsapp.
I'd like to have my Whatsapptaken pictures appear in the Gallery, beside the incoming ones id like to stay in .nomedia.
When i delete the .nomedia inside the "Sent" Folder and restart my phone, it just reappears.
Anyone knows how to permanently delete the .nomedia in the Sent folder?
Thanks in Davance
Have you thought of trying to do this with Tasker?
never worked with Tasker, but i dont want to "copy" them over to DCIM, just want to get them to Gallery
to make things clear:
I'd like Photos made by Whatsapp (in /Whatsapp/Media/Whatsapp Images/Sent Folder) to be shown in my gallery (like on iOS).
Theres is a .nomedia item inside the Sent folder which seems to be newly created after every reboot of the System (despite deleting it upfront, of course)
any advices how i can make those (and only those, not my received images) visible in my gallery?
Anyone got an Idea?
I got the same problem. Need help too
you can use QuickPic and select Show Hidden
