Out-of-memory error while selecting sound file for notifications #17

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Using Options / Notification Schema / Select I wanted to assign a sound for
the alarm.
After tapping "select" EggClock is searching for files for a while and then
displays the error message "EggClock: Memory full. Close some applications
and try again".
I checked the running applications, no unneccessary ones running.
Could it be that EggClock V1.9 is not able to cope with ~5 GB of music on a
phone? That's the amount I currently have on my Nokia X6 - and that's only
filling about half of the available memory for this "smaller" 16 GB model...

If we use the phone as a music player, it's natural to have hundreds of music 
files 
taking over a gigabyte or more. The current implementation does not work well 
in 
such case. For me, I got tired and forced the application close after a few 
minutes 
waiting.

Giving the user a simple file-browsing navigation is a lot easier and faster.

As a workaround, you can try these hacked versions.

5th edition:

This one doesn't let you choose a file for the notification, instead it will 
try and use a file called alarm.mp3 in the C:\data\ folder.

So: choose the file you want, copy it to C:\data\ and rename it to alarm.mp3. 
Note: the built-in file manager shows C:\data\ as the root of the C:\ drive. So 
you may want to try both places if it doesn't work at first. Put the file in 
place before starting the application.

The file probably doesn't have to be an MP3, but must have the name alarm.mp3, 
so you may be able to put a wav or aac file there.
