How Are Ring Tones Stored

[beekeeper]

As noted before, many ringtones are created through simply putting them into a folder named "ringtones". When you turn on the phone or insert the SD card, the file scanner notices these files and marks them in an internal database with the "is ringtone" status.

Typically these files won't be considered music (indicated by an "is music" status in the same database) and thus won't be shown in the music player. However, if you hit "Use this song as a ringtone" in the music player, you end up with the same file being considered to be both a music track and a ringtone. There aren't two copies of the file, just two database annotations for it.

There seem to be no mechanisms built in to the OS for removing these songs from the ringtone list. There's a "medium priority" entry in the bug tracker, but nothing more. I got tired of this, so I added the (free) "Ring Remover" app to the Market. It does just one thing -- offers to remove the "is ringtone" annotation from files which are considered to be both ringtones and music, and thus gets your song collections out of your ringtone list.

Anyone have answers to these? I'd really like to clean my ringtones up. I even tried downloading a file manager off the market, but it wouldn't work for me.

Try Zedge app for manager ringtone, or IRingtone, it work fine for me
