Maybe a weird question, but is it possible for me to add my own sounds to the list of sounds for alarm sounds etc? Its not a ringtone and cant find a folder in windows that will allow me to do it.
Yes -- you can do it. Just drop them into the root of the Windows directory. I believe they have to be .wav format in order for them to show up to use in the Sounds & Notifications menu.

Or on the storage card if you create a folder named "My Documents" But be sure that the folder is on the root of the MiniSD card.
I prefer this because it doesn't use your phone memory.

I have a folder on the root of the SD Card that is labeled My Documents but it doesnt seem to work the way that you described. Any ideas? Also, any input on an wav converter program that doesnt make end files 23mb's big?

I have a HTC Hermes with Schaps 4.22 Rom,
I want to know if it is possible to set a ringtone from ym memory card as the standard ringtone?
I use audio manager to select as ringtone the mp3 file I want, I believe, however, it copies it to the phone though.. There is a cab file that enables you to select from the memory card. Here is link : http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=63
Cheers...
Thanks to Mort for this awesome cab.......
Or, you can just copy the .mp3 to your phone or SD card, then with File Explorer, navigate to the file, hold the stylus on it until the menu comes up and hit "Set as Ringtone" Thats what I always do. Then under Settings-Sounds-Notifications, it should show up and be selectable as a ringtone...
But, yes, it will copy the ringtone to your phones internal memory, so I am not sure if there is a way to run it off the memory card directly....
hi mates
you can create a folder in the sd card with the name ´my documents´
inside create a folder with the same name of the ringtones
with this you can use probally all of your music as ringtones and save more storage in the internal memory.
hope i help anyone...
Seeing how the main ringtone can be changed to whatever you want, is there a way to change the notification sounds to custom sounds as well?
It looks as if the system folder under audio where the notification sounds live, it seems to be a read only folder so there doesn't seem to be an option to drop in custom sounds into there.
Is there an app that allows the changing of system sounds or does it need to be rooted and permissions changed...
thanks
jsut make a directory on your SD card like this: (SD Card root)/Media/audio/notifications
and put all your notification ringtones in that folder.

Just like he said, create the folder on your SD card called 'notifications' (don't have to be under '//media/audio/') and put your MP3s or whatever in there. You can do this for anything BTW, 'alarms', 'ringtones', etc.
That's what I thought, I made the mistake of naming the folder 'Ringtones' on my sdcard and they weren't showing up... so just renamed the folder to Notifications and then it was all good, thanks
How to make HD2 detect ringtones in a folder "Ringtones" instead of "My Documents
Is there a way I can create another folder somewhere in the SD Card titled Ringtones"" and make the phone recognize the songs in that folder as ringtones instead of "My Documents"?

But that's located in the device folders..I was hoping to have my own folders in my SD Card. Is that possible?
you will kick yourself, but here goes.
in the root of your sd card create a folder called......... my ringtones
the down side is that the folder will be indexed by the music player.

hehe, no worries. I think there is a way to stoip folders being indexed, i've just never bothered to look into it yet. Im sure there are threads about it.
Hi,
Could someone please tell me where I put my mp3 file so that 'sound settings' detects it as a ringtone. I used to put it in the media folder for SD roms but obviously that's all changed.
Thanks.
Hi,
I found the folder in NAND but putting the file in there didn't work. I'm not sure but all the ringtones were using .ogg format so it didn't see the mp3 file. Even tried converting to ogg but didn't work either!
I managed to get the ringtone applied by using "music" app, finding the mp3 on my sd card, hit the menu button and select "set as ringtone".
This was the only way I found
If you find a better method, let me know as the stock gingerbread ringtones are cr*ap.
I just have the media folder on my SD card, and it still picks up all my custom ringtones and notifications in every nand build I've tried.

I used this method but during connection to pc as mass storage mode, the ringtone and and notifications will revert back to default internal ringtone as the sdcard is not seen by the system.
It's a strange one. I'm sure someone out there knows the answer.
With winmo you just navigated to the sounds folder on the device.
Anyone?
Just dropped an MP3 in ringtone folder and it's working fine...
You'll need a file manager with root access. I use "Super Manager" and the following instructions are specific to that application but will be similar in any other file manager.
Note: Before you begin make sure you have enabled the root function in the system settings.
1. Select the file you want to move...longpress on the file and select copy from the menu that pops up.
2. Navigate to /system/media/audio/ringtones
3. Press the windows hardbutton and select "Switch System R/W" to enable writing to the system directories.
4. Longpress the screen, when the menu pops up select paste.
5. Exit and reboot (ringtone won't appear until you reboot)

Perfect. Thank you.
Incidentally, if you don't want to go through that hassle, you can also put the ringtones in.

Problem with that is that when connected to the PC nothing on the SD card can be read.

Serious? When you say connected to PC, you mean connect phone to pc with android running? Well, depending on which build. Desire/DesireHD, you will need to unmount the sd card in settings->storage in order to use the phone as a usb mass storage device. If you are using Gingerbread build, you will have to use Multi-mount.
Unless you are my hero, and you went full ext2/ext3/ext4 partition for the whole sd card without fat32.
Then it would be almost useless in a card reader with a windows 7 pc.

i did this but remain the same problem
when the phone rings .it ring with the old ringtone from system-->media-->>audio-->>ringtons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
a dual mount sd app would help if you don't want the usb to kick your sd card every time that you use mass storage
I've been searching around and have round a few Ringtone directories in the G3. However:
1. I am not having much success when I copy over a .mr4 (ringtone) file, as when I pull up a contact, to connect my ringtone to it, they do not show in the list, even after a reboot. But I am able to use mp3's from the music directory, also
2. when I pull up the contact, to edit/change the ringtone, G3 will bring up the 'stock' directory for LG ringtones (where the heck is that located as I can't find that particular directory), and if I choose the + sign to select my own ringtone,
3. it will only take me to the music directory, so I can not navigate to find my uploaded ringtones...
Any help is appreciated.
Default is system/media/audio. In there are 4 more folders, ringtones, alarms, notifications & ui.
Also in the root of internal sdcard there are the same 4 named folders where new ringtones, alarms, ui and notification sounds can be copied to.

Thanks. Any idea on why when I try and select a custom ringtone, the only directory which comes up is the music director (which is on my SC card)?
I can not find a way to 'search' or go to a different directory.

All the ringtones I've copied to the "Ringtones" directory on the internal SD card show up when I try to change a contact's ringtone. Are you sure an .m4r file is compatible? That's Apple's format for the iPhone. Try copying an mp3 file to that directory, and see if it shows up.
Here's a program which claims to convert m3r files to mp3 files: http://www.zamzar.com/convert/m4r-to-mp3/

You may easily create a folder named "Ringtones" in the internal flash, not microSD card, and copy all your custom ringtones there. The reason is if you eject your microSD card all your custom ringtones will be set back to default since folder of microSD will not be available
I don't know the .M4R thing but all phones can see .m4a format music and may use them as a ringtones

Internal flash and internal SD are the same thing.
