I downloaded an app called RingsExtender which allows you to choose sounds other than the default sounds ("Look At Me", "Captain's Log", etc) for your notification sounds for GMail, SMS, Google Talk, etc. However, I was wondering, does anyone know a good website or anywhere where I can find notification sounds as .mp3s or .wavs?

just look around. google wavs. i personally download mario sound effect. i really like the yoshi sound
I need an app like that but I can't fnd it. anybody got the apk?
I used that app before until I've realized (read somewhere on the forum) that all you need to do is put sound files into notifications or ringtones folder on your SD card and then they will appear in the list of sounds when you choose new sound for apps.
As for sounds just Google it -- there are plenty of sound resources on the web.
Ringdroid will allow you to cut a piece of an MP3 and save it as a notification or ring. Is that what you're looking for?
do they have to be in .ogg format to work? andexplorer won't let me copy/paste wavs or mp3 into the system folders.
I also have a question on this( sort of)
Where can I get the default ringtones? I think they got removed on cyanogens roms.. but I actually liked some of them. Help? Or pm me. Thanks!
Sorry double post
http://www.zedge.net/
Hands down the best ringtone site Ive come across.
Free , LOTS to choose from , and seems to have a userbase uploading some unique ones.

just make the following directory structure using your computer on the fat32 partition and put the mp3 files there...
/audio/ringtones
/audio/notifications

There is a link to Audio Resources in the first post of the cyanogen stable rom thread. That contains everything removed plus more.
thanks for the help!

I gave you the wrong info here it is actually..
media/audio/ringtones
media/audio/notifications
I keep my notification sounds on my ext3 partition, because the phone can still acess them when the fat32 partition is mounted in your computer.
All you have to do is push the media folder to /system/sd although I did make to make all the folders manually, only took a couple of minutes though, and the sounds show up on the phone just like they would on the fat32 partition.

if you're rooted, create a folder on the sd card called media. then create another folder inside it called audio. then create another inside the audio folder called notifications. put all youre custom tones in that notifications folder and you're all set.

Why do say "if you're rooted"?
The exact same thing can be done with a non-rooted phone by plugging it up to a pc and clicking mount
As a matter of fact the audio pack that's an addition to cyan's builds sit's in a folder called audio on my sdcard and my phone reads the ringtone's & notification's from it
so wat u mean is i juz have to plug my phone to a pc then cre8 the folder according?

Yea it pretty much just that easy
k i will try... thxz for all that
Create a folder on your CD card called ringtones, and one called notifications and put the files you want in each one.
i still cant have my own msg ringtones... i cre8 2 folder in my sd card after that i put the songs/ringtones that i wan in thr... after that i disconnect the usb frm my phone.... then when i go into my phone settings, and i tap on notificatons settings - select ringtones, i still cant find the song/ringtones that i wan... i really nid help here thxz in advance
I have mine setup like this:
root>My Audio/Ringtones and root >My Audio/Notifications
So I'm not sure if you need to name it any specific thing.
an easier way is to use ringdroid and everything will be made for you. But if you create the folder make a folder called media and inside that folder make 2 folders, one called notification and the other ringtone.
yeah just as supremeteam456 said.. u can use ringroid or another app called rings extended..
Create folders on SD card:
alarms/
notifications/
ringtones/
And place media accordingly. What format are the items you're trying to use? MP3? WAV? Other?

Running CM 4.2.7, ringtones
hey guys, i found this post but it doesn't seem to answer anything, i'll make a new thread if I can't get an answer out of this one.
So I've been running cyanogen's mod for a while now, and i haven't been able to change my notification ringtones. I have ringdroid and rings extended, and i know how to change the ringtones, but everytime I click 'ok' or 'accept' or whatever it is, when it reloads the settings menu, the default ringtone is still selected, as if i never tried to change it.
any ideas?
Cant seem to get a ringtone for incoming calls, thought I remembered seeing something about it but couldnt find it
Using the newest froyo 2.2 build on HD2
Any help would be lovely
Thanks
Alternative solution would be to select a music a (from Music folder) do a "long press". Then, this music could be selected as your "Ring tone".
Hope it helps.
when I do that I only get: Open, Open With, Send to, Cut, Copy, Shortcut, Delete, Rename and Properties..
oh and it did not work from the settings menu, only thing to choose there was quiet mode.

copy and paste this link into your internet browser http://gamesquare.co.uk/media.zip ,then unzip it, place the media folder under your root of sdcard (for example, sdcard/media)
Zedge
I use a program called Zedge from the marketplace. It allows you to search for ringtones and wallpapers. Once you download a ringtone, it will be selectable in the sound options.
zedge worked awesomely Thanks they even had the ringtone I wanted

No ring tones
i have tried to download ringtones, and i get ,.
""error ringtone can not run unless you have an Sd card inserted....""
what am i doing or not doing that is causing this>
i loaded android , it runs fine, apps , etc, just wont ring for incoming calls.
i even can hear the sounds from apps.
Help?!
I'm having an issue getting ringtones located in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ to be recognized by the system, while those same files in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ works fine.
bangsters 1.5 but I don't think this has anything to do with the specific build...
is this a known issue that is another one of those things that everyone knows about and assumes that everyone else knows, so it is never mentioned?
In Android, you need to use some apps like Ringdroid or Ringo to trim and save the ringtones as ringtones or notification tone then you can set them as ur ringtone or notification tone
Uhm... did you read the first post?
I understand how to get them to work off the sdcard, without using any such app.
The problem is that they don't read off the internal data image.
bump.
this is getting really irritating, that I have to reset my ringtones and notifications after entering usb mass storage mode...

What the heck are you talking about? Your totally out in left field on this one.
Now I'm having random chunks of my audiobook being set as the ringtone and\or notification ringtone....
anyone? any ideas?
This has been happening on the latest bangsters, hyperdroid.
Where are the ringtones (stock) located at? There are a few in there that I have but my wife doesn't and she wants it. I have a custom rom but I imagine the directory location is the same.
System/media/audio/ringtones
Sent from my fully armed and operational frozen Epic using XDA App
as you might already know, you can also add a folder on your sdcard (same directory naming as above, but replace system with sdcard) and it'll register those as well-- easier to add and remove regardless of rom switching.
Is Google down?
Looks like it's back up now.
digging up an old thread since my question is related: When i go to choose a ringtone(say for instance in text messages) it brings up some ringtones that are no longer on my phone that i know of. they were installed from zedge which i dont use anymore. I dont see these particular files when browsing System/media/audio/ringtones nor are they on the sdcard. How can i clean this up?
Thanks.

My guess is that Zedge saved it onto your SD card in a different folder.

Hello
I want to add custom notification sound for my S4, I have them in mp3 format
I put these files in media\audio\notifications and it didn't show in the list
I tried also in \Notifications and they didn't also!!
each time i try a reboot to make it rescan for the new media but still no luck!
is there is a working way for this to add my tones? I tried zedge and it works but I can't add my tones to it..
I think about convert the files to .ogg and put them in system/media but this will only work for rooted phones and I guess there is another solution for that much easier!
thanks

Hi,
Try putting a folder on the root of your sd card, and call it "Notifications".
Put your mp3's in there and try again.
thanks for reply
I already tried that and wrote this on the OP,and it doesn't work too!!
and for ringtones I add them to ringtones folder and the tones never show up until I reboot the phone!
Using zedge and Ringtone maker adds the notifications and I found them instantly
maybe there is something in these apps makes the phone rescan media or what, the thing is I have a nexus 7 and once I add mp3 file to notification folder I find it in the list instantly!!
thanks

If you push the mp3 notifs to the Notification folder, you would definitely have to reboot for it to take effect
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Ok, then its normal to reboot to see the tone, I was thinking there is something wrong with me as this is not the case on my nexus 7 tablet.
thanks
I have the solution!!
I had the exactly the same problem with my S4(i9500). I've searched across the web to get a solution but in the end I've found it on my own.
> Install ES file explore
> clear defaults for Media Storage(default android sound picker). ( you may not need to do this)
> go to sound settings then notifications (or message settings then select ringtone whatever u want to change)
> you should see a dialog like complete action using : ES file explorer, Media storage, zedge (if u have it)
> choose ES and hit Just once(so you won't have to clear defaults every time)
> navigate to sound file u want and hit it.
I hope this helps.
LoL, I have the solution.
Now let's get back to reality, how to get media store to list all the sounds i downloaded from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895636
Anyone with at least the smallest noodle knows to chose es file explorer to be able to chose one sound at a time to Add. So how to get all the sounds to list from media storage :angel:
No one knows

Yeah it has one way. U can put the mp3 files in the folder u want, this isnt important. Follow this steps:
1. Go to Apps, Settings, My device, Sound, Ringtones
2. Look for button "Add"
3. Add the sounds u want one by one
4. When u have them in that list, click OK
5. Now u can go Default notification sound
6. Select the one u need added manually b4
7. Enjoy ur new notification sound! I hope it helped ya :highfive:
LoL., even the basic of n00bs knows to use es file explorer to add one sound at a time, although what about when you have 1500 of them from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895636
No one knows how to have these new sounds automatically show up, settings , sounds , media storage. Well maybe someone knows how and just never said a word because it's confidential and they Could possible be reprimanded big time, lol
