This is a collection of audio files from several ROMs from several phones, including:
CDMA Hero - 1.5
CDMA Hero - AOSP 2.1
CDMA Hero - Sense 2.1
Motorola Stock
Samsung Stock
There are almost 200 different sounds in this collection! Tons of variety!
Also note that this frees up some space in your /system partition! Always a good thing!
Copy the .zip posted and flash it just like any other update.zip. This will delete your current system/media/audio folders (with the exception of ui) and place the repository on your sdcard. BE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE ON YOUR SDCARD BEFORE FLASHING THIS!
Updates:
Included additional sounds from here
Created an update.zip to automagically delete current system files

IThe .zip posted contains a folder called media. To use the sounds, unzip the attached file to your tools folder and from ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb push media /system/media/

There is no need to put the files in /system/
You can make a /media folder on the SD card and it works the same... *AND* the files won't get hosed with every ROM reflash.

I tried that first but then all the files show up in your Music player. I also tried putting a .nomedia file in the folder but then they didn't show up at all.
This is the only way I've found that works completely.
Dont put it in your system folder. Create a /media/audio/notifications or /media/audio/ringtones folder on your sdcard. My ringtones and notifications are seen in these folders.

I have created a collection of notifications, ringtones, alarms, and general UI sounds from every ROM that I have ever used (1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 w/ & w/o Sense) all into one folder. This gives you a huge amount of choices for ringtones, notification sounds, etc.
The .zip posted contains a folder called media. To use the sounds, unzip the attached file to your tools folder and from ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb push media /system/media/
Give it just a second (as there are quite a few of them) and when it's done copying it will tell you. Reboot once finished.
I did not do an update.zip because quite honestly it's much faster and easier to do it through ADB.
Enjoy

Again, the reason I put those instructions up is because when I had tried putting it on my sdcard, the files would show up in the music player.
Besides, you can use the files however you want, I'm not forcing anyone to put them into /system, that was just my recommendation.

You went to phone ringtone/notification ringtone and there wasn't anything there? If done correctly there should be a very long list to choose from.
Did you reboot after pushing?
Ok so after further testing, it turns out that the only files that show up in the music player are the UI sounds. So I just deleted those (since they're all the same in all the ROMs I'm pretty sure, plus no one really cares about those) and now it works just perfectly when you put in your sdcard.
I humbly admit that I was wrong This should work better now, especially for those that were worried about using up /system space.
First post edited with new directions and .zip.
awesome! Thanks so much for making this! After RMing the media files from the system I gained like 20mb's that can be utilized in running apps and such. You're the man!
I tried installing this by putting them on the sdcard, and all of the sounds show up on the list, but everyone option I chose plays the same song on my sdcard :|
Ideas?
did you RM the system files? Mine works fine.

Ya I did, and then I my phone would freeze when anything tried to notify me, and it woudn't mount my sd card :| Good thing i have a sdcard slot in my computer, i had to remove the files and rewrite them to my sdcard. Then it started working. No idea why, but its working
I merged your folder with the original media folder and rebooted but they do not show up...??
in case anyone is having trouble with this, there is a very clear post on how to do this here:

Updated, nearly 200 sounds in this package now
Now in update.zip format, super easy!
Cool thanks... Will give it a try...
Thanks for posting this.
Hello all,
I have been trying to find the Xperia X10 pre-loaded ringtones on the internet for quite some time now and have failed miserably. Can anyone point me in the right direction or even better, upload the stock ringtones that come shipped with the Xperia?
Thanks in advance!
You can find them on your phone in /system/media/audio/, they're in the ogg forma.
Use ES File Explorer or Astro to copy them to your SD
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
Can i copy / move the stock ringtones from SD back to system folders?
Seems there is an error showing "java.io.FileNotFound Exception:/system/media/audio/ringtones/sony_ericsson.ogg (Read-only file system)".
Anyone can help?
Hi. I'm new here and i don't know if i'm posting this in the right place. I got the motorola milestone and got this app called scruff, when someone message you on there it plays a beautiful notification sound and i really want that sound as my main notification sound. i tried root explorer but i couldn't find the sound as a file.
Can you point me to the right direction? i'm sure theres has to be in somewhere but i don't know where exactly. If someone coulp help me i'd really aprecciate it!
Thanks in advance!!!
The required files are attached. You will have to convert them to ogg format and push it into /system/media/audio/notifications or create the same file structure ( media/audio/notifications ) on the sdcard and copy them there.
Thank you soooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello people, this is my first thread here on xda.
My phone is running on rom 2.3.3 Tweaky Rom. It's a nice rom.
I like the crt animation [screen off], but the sound of it is so basic and u can't even choose another one. So I decided to make my own sound.
install:
The sound is in the zip file Lock.zip, just unzip it and put in into your phone sd card.
It's an .ogg file. You need to have root explorer.
Go to root explorer>sdcard>copy the Lock.ogg file and go to system>media>audio>ui paste it right there
hope you guys like it !
doesn't work for cm7?
Star wars blaster pistol?
well I never used cm7, but as long as you can go into the files, it should work...
nice work been meaning to change that sound
E damaged my ears!!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
WOW, very good!! Thanks a lot!
Can u post a video, so we can listen to his sound?
Well, I would like to do it, but then I've to upload it on youtube and stuff..
You can just download it, it's not that big and play it at your pc as a sound file.
If you then like it you can just put it as the screen off sound
Thanks for the effort...
