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.
do u mind teaching me more on rooted?

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?!
As title says, I am suddenly unable to set any ringtone, notification, etc on my ICS Android (HD2).
The files are there (in phone memory - \system\media\ringtones), the phone is rooted and the file permissions are fine.
But yet the ringtones do not appear in the respective lists in Settings.
Powering off does not seem to help.
Any ideas?
copy from other rom
copy from other roms ring tones to your file
Thx, but that doesn't make any sense to me.
I already have my ringtone files on my PC and I could easily re-upload them in the proper folder on the Android. But when I do so, they still do not appear...Used to work fine...
Anyone? Thx
Same pb
Hello,
I am having almost the same problem.
Sometimes impossible to find the rings while they are still on the phone.
Often, the system is in read / open and not read / write, after a reboot or two, everything falls into place.
But I do not know whence can this problem.
Good luck and tell us if you find
Franky
try an app like ring tone maker.
works like a charm for finding files and using them for rings/notifications etc
am using American Android Rom and ring tone maker to set the rings
Such programs usually store their ringtone files on the SD Card, which is not what I am looking for.
I want my files loaded from the memory - and they are already there and worked before, that's what pisses me off..
Hi all,
Trying to add a custom alarm sound. Can see that the standard alarms are ogg format. However, it turns out that it doesn't matter - it is only looking inside the read-only partition for the alarm sounds. Presumably the answer is to root to get write access here - or is there another way???

Put the alarm sound in a folder called Alarms in the root of the internal "sdcard".

i understand you , but i have some sounds that i use as alarm and some times as ringtones and i do not want to store it twice ...maybe i have one folder audio in witch i have a sub folders ringtones , alarms, notification and if i want to choose an alarm melody from ringtones i can without having to save file twice
I have a similar issue, but I can't find any help via google. When I add mp3 files to the /Alarms folder on my Nexus 4 they no longer show up under the Alarm clock app when choosing a sound. It used to work but hasn't for a while now.
I can't for the life of me work out what is wrong.

Using a file explorer with show hidden files enabled make sure there isn't a .nomedia file in the folder.

I checked using ES File Explorer with show hidden files on. No .nomedia files in the Alarms folder or any patient folders.
I found a workaround! By browsing the files using ES File Explorer instead of the built-in file browser I can chose from any of the files in the Alarms folder. :good:
I put the mp3 i want in the Alarm folder in yet it doesn't show up in the alarm ringtone list. I'm using the latest 4.3, does it make any difference?
I'm on I9505G ROM 4.3 but copying mp3 files to Alarms folder doesn't work either..
Make sure that the folder name is 'Alarms'. Clear data of Media Storage and reboot.
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

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
