Ok i have rooted my phone and i got everything working new ROM and new theme all also brought in ring-tones and go them to work. My only problem is how in the hell do i get the phone to see notification form my Sdcard and how do I apply them.
Thanks
Copy your sound files to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications/
I was able to get a custom mp3 file i had to work as the default ringtone notification in Settings->Sound & Display->Notification Ringtone
It should work with any sound file. Can anyone confirm that any file works other than mp3, like wav, m4a, etc...

I've searched the forum and found the correct place to select my message alerts however is it possible to select my own mp3 as a sms ringtone. i tried it but with no luck :x
Thanks
Although I've only barely looked into this, I could not get MP3 files working as "notifications" only ringtones. I even tried doing the old WAV-RIFF header on an MP3 file to see whether that worked, nope. In fact, I've tried all sorts of different WAV formats and none of the compressed ones (IMA/MS ADPCM etc) work, only plain old PCW uncompressed WAVs. WMA etc etc I've also tried, no avail, only WAV and MID files will show on the list and only uncompressed WAVs will play.
However, you can use mono instead of stereo and also drop sample rate to 22khz without any major loss of quality (considering the playback device ).
Basically, MIDI and WAV files in the \Windows\ dir of your Wizard are where the files are picked from for the drop down in notifications. If you add a standard MID or WAV to yours they will show in the list next time you access it (no reset required, just close and re-open notifications).
Whether notifications only support MIDI + WAV I've no idea, ultimately I just convert whatever sounds I need to a mono, 22khz, 16bit, PCM WAV, these end up more than small enough to not cause any lag and work perfectly as long as the sampel you're working with isn't too long.
If you only have the MP3 files and have no clue about what I'm saying then you need to do some reading possibly and grab a tool to convert your MP3's back to WAV.
Something like "CDEx" which is free and can recompress your MP3's directly to WAVs (configurable) will do fine and I've tested it at PCM/Uncompressed/22khz and the output WAVs work fine.

nice one mate, will give it a go
thanks Vap, worked through what you said and now have got my desired sms ringtone. thanks once again
Anyone tried Ringo Mobile 1.26?
Not only can you have mp3 sms tones but you can store them on your sd card.
I haven't tried it because I don't know how well it will go along with Phone Profiles which I also use, but I'm tempted to try.
Check it out on Handango
Phone Alarm
Phone Alarm from pocketmax.net works really fine has other great features too.
Kull: Tried it out and PA also plays mp3:s for text messages. Phone Alarm was really in awesome program. It's got a few bugs but it seems to be updated quite often. Thanks for the tip!

I've tried to use PhoneAlarm, but when I've got it installed, it makes my Wi-Fi "unavailable"
Any ideas???
(Gigabyte g-Smart i128)
I don't have any issues with the wifi but I know there are some. This will be fixed by v 1.6 due any time now.

Convert mp3 into ringtones using CDEx
Vap said:
While using CDEx to convert mp3 files to ringtones it is really important to follow Vap's advice. One will fail if one uses the standard setting for MP3->WAV conversion available in the program.
Here is what worked for my Charmer.
With a CDEx version 1.51 : go to Options, Settings, choose "Encoder" tab, in "Encoder" field choose "Windows MP3 Codec", in "Codec bitrate selection" choose "24 kBit/s, 22 050 Hz, mono" and you should be fine

Hello,
Where are the ringtones located on HD2?
I found some in Windows/rings and try to add custom ringtones (wma) to it but there are not showing in HTC ringtones setup menu.
Any idea?
Think you need to use .wave format and just copy the tone to the /Windows: Library. That will work.
You can use your personal music files to be your rington.
1. First copy the files to the /My Documents/My Ringtones folder on the phone.
2. Then from the Home screen slide to the Settings tabs > Sound & display > Ringtone
3. Select the file you copied over, and then tap Done.
Alternatively, you can set any music file as your ringtone by navigating to your music using File Explorer and tapping and holding the music file and selecting Set As Ringtone.
You can use a number of sound files that you downloaded from the Internet or copied from your computer, including *.wav, *.mid, *.mp3, and *.wma.

Convert your tone to .wave format and put it in the Windows library. It will work. I have done it plenty of times
** Try to use .wma format to, think it will work fine.

It's funny how even the simplest phones nowadays don't have any problems at all using mp3-files as sound-notifications, but a beast like HD2 can't support this

yes but we're livin' a WM world
(plus they have their own audio format, others don't. it's why they go to mp3 I guess)

I used both ways and they both work fine for me. I dont use the WAV file anymore because the MP3 way is just easier for me as i use the MP3 trimmer to make my ringtones
If you go into the application data folder on the device, there's a folder named "sounds" put the mp3 sms in there and you'll be able to select them for sms notifications.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
it Worked
Hi all
Please after am used my X10 for one month i found tow things:
1-sometime when i am connect my X10 to computer via USB cable my X10 restart instantly, am try to disable the debugging mode but the same thing continue, that's' normal?i need to do some thing before I connect my X10 2 computer?
2-am try to put my own mp3 as sms tone ,but when i receive sms i see the sms tone it's work but between the (1st n 2nd)sec. the sms tone like repeated unmorally but when i used built-in sms tone (default sms come with x10) it is work perfectly, so i don't have solution for this problem
My way to set sms ( create folder SD root\media\notifications)
Please if someone have a good experiences i hope to get the answer
regards
1. I have heard other users having that issue, but it's not normal. I'm not sure what the issue is, hopefully someone else can help.
2. How are you trying to put the MP3 as your ringtone? I would recommend getting an app from the Android market called "Ringdroid", I have not had any issues with it.
okay getting ringtones and sms tones is EASY, if you got a PC.
Get your song, rename it as midi.
so song.mp3 to song.midi
then put that in the media ringtones, alarms, etc folder.
Reason why I do it as a midi is so that it would not get played by Mediascape.

just great folder name (( SD Root folder)) in ur sd like this path
SD Root folder\media\audio\notifications
in the notifications folder put as you like what u want as sms ringtone like mp3 or wav or aac ok
up...up...up
I've got a problem with it. In settings there is limited list of built-in tunes and no way to add custom mp3. Trick with creating sdcard/media/audio/ringtones didn't work =\
you can also choose it from the Musicplayer
open the musicfile in the player then press menu and choose as ringtone
Oh, thanks problem solved. I'm not using default player so it was not so clear
Btw problem with custom notification sound is still open
Sent from my HTC click using XDA Premium App
The correct path on the SD card for this trick to work is:
/media/audio/notifications/*filename*.mp3
Also, it only works for notification sounds, not for ringtones.
I use a apps Rings Extended
When you chose a ringtone you can continue with android system or rings extended, and you can chose between Music, Ringdroid or select music track
on your sd card make 3 seperate folders
Ringtones (for ringtones)
Notifications (For message tone)
Alarms (for Alarm tone)
put your mp3 to which one u need

Yea, it works, tnx. But is there similar path for ringtones? i tried /media/audio/ringtones/*filename*.mp3, but id didn't work. Well, there is still option with music player and setting mp3 as ringtone.
/media/audio/ringtones/*filename*.mp3 worked for me!
you can just use some app to use custom ringtones like Ringer.
Thanks & great answer

thanks pal it worked.....like magic
cool!
/media/audio/ringtones/*filename*.mp3 worked for me too. 2.3.1 darky
Installed 2.3.4 on my HD2. I do have one question:
I cannot find a capability to assign/select separate Ringtones for my contacts as I could do in 2.3.3. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Two tips that I have learned in the past couple of days when moving up from 2.2.
1. If anyone uses a Magic Jack and needs to listen to their voice mail. I have found that WavPlayer (Free) does work to play the voice mails.
2. If you want an easy way to increase the size of your Icons/apps use LCD Density Changer.
Hope these two helps others.
Im using hyperdroid CM7 which uses 2.3.4. I can do it on mine.
Contacts>Click on your preferred contact>Hit Windows Button And Choose Options> Ringtone (Set as default)

Thanks! Your are right. I was choosing Edit instead of OPTIONS. I do appreciate your help! Give you a 'Thank You'!
no worries mate
Under 2.3.4, you don't see Media for Ringtones, Notifications? Did they move that?
well on my build i can pick between media or stock android sounds. even long pressing on a song in the music app lets me set it as sms or ringtones

Thanks, that did it as it placed the song in Ringtones.
However, where are Ringtones, Notifications stored? Under other Android OS these were stored under Media. I cannot find a Media folder.
Gave you a 'Thank You.'
no worries bro , on my SD card i have a folder called ringtones with 30 sec clips of all the different ringtones I've used. These ringtones ALWAYS appear when I'm picking a notification sound (even when I flash a new rom) so I guess you could try creating a ringtones folder on your SD card and rebooting your phone and see what happens. Hope it helps

I also have two folders on my SD card.
1. I got from a previous version of Android 2.2.2 called Media.
2. I made and call Ringtones where I made ringtones and placed them in there.
However, when I view either one, they both do not contain the music filoe that I put in yesterday using the method you suggested. I used Music player and held down on that song until Select as Ringtone option appeared. I could them see that ringtone song when I wanted to select that ringtone for my SMS. However, I cannot see that specific song in either of the abobe 2 folders: Media and Ringtones.
So, that is why I ask if anyone knows where Ringtones are stored when using 2.3.4.
Again, I do appreciate your time, help and have a great day. Thank you!
