Having come from the WinMo world where i had custom ringtones/notifications for different people and message types , is there a way to do this on Andriod ? after looking around it appears that there are a few stock notifications etc... and thats it ....

You just have to create the appropriate files on your SD card.
When you plug your phone into the computer, set the option to read as a drive.
Open up the drive and in the SD card should be a folder title "media." If not, just create it. Inside that folder create separate folders titled "ringtones" "notitifcations" "alerts" and "alarms" Place the appropriate mp3/wav files in those folders and when you unhook your phone from the cpu and try to set ringtone/notifications etc, you phone will include those with the stock ringtons/alerts etc.
Also if you want to ad movies, videos etc, just create a "videos" folder on the SD and the stock video player will read them off the SD. They have to be mpg4 format I think.

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.

Hi everybody!
I just got my DHD and already root, clockwork, changed rom, etc. However, my problem is related to the directories structures inside my SDCARD.
I have 2 questions:
1- I moved some apps that I have in my main memory to my SDCARD via App Settings. However, when I go to my sdcard in windows explorer, I don't find these files. I'm not sure then if is really moving to my sdcard. I just realized some new folders, but they are empty. Does anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?
2- The second question it's linked with the first. I would like to organize in my SDCARD a nice folder structure. Something like:
/
/Songs/
/Photos/
/Documents/
/Backups/
/Games/
/Apps/
And then if you go inside the Apps folder, you have another folder with the name of the application. Pretty much like Program Files folder in Windows.
Is this possible? For Songs, Photos, Documents, I created a folder and it worked. But what about for apps and games that I got on the market?
My SDCARD has also a lot of folder/files that were copied when I put the sdcard on the device. I don't know if I can delete that. Any idea?
Thanks for the help in advance!
Hey,
Can u tell me what name of the folder with pre-installed songs is ? I've erased them, so now I don't know where I should transfer my music into (from PC, via USB). Its not "music" for sure, 'cause it doesnt exist...
Thx in advance.
Shouldn't make any difference. On my DHD i have several different folders with music. The phone scans through the whole SD card for files. Can't see how it's different on the Note, but if the Music folder doesn't exist, then make it yourself.
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.

Because your OS creates them automatically.
You shouldn't remove them permanently in my opinion, but here's how to do it:
Let's say your folder is named music .
In order to prevent its recreation do the following:
Delete music folder
Create an empty file named music (It has to be the exact same name. Not Music etc.)
Done
There cannot be two files with the exact same name, which means the folders cannot be recreated (yes, folders actually are files in linux' world).
