Not sure about that but if you go into your sdcard, create a folder called media, then enter that folder n create audio, then enter that folder (lol) n create folders, notifications and ringtones.. u can put any music within them folders n they should appear in ya settings options along with the rest of the stock ringtones!
Hope it helps!!

In thru OfficeSuite>Phone>System>Media, you find Ringtones and Notifications.
HOW can I put files into these folders?
My PC only sees the Mem Card, not the phone itself??
Also, has anyone found the folder for the Wallpapers directory?
Access to this also?
Thanks.
u can use astro from market it is file manager

So, I'm guessing, put mp3's into audio, wallpapers into pic folder on card, then use astro file manager to move them to the phone directory..?
Well, so far, astro has allowed me to browse thru the phone directories, but copy/move any files in there?? Nope.. I can browse the directories without any 3rd party apps, so astro, although easy to look at, offers no benefit to me as yet..
Yes you can copy and or movefiles with astro. When inside a folder hit your left menu button, select edit, select all, then manually deselect the files you do not want to move, then hit the menu button again, edit, copy-or-move. Back out and navigate to the folder you want too place the file into, menu, edit, paste. Sort of round about but it works.

I tried the same thing, using ES File Explorer (which I find much more practical than Astro). No luck.
Could the problem be that we don't have permission to write to the phone's storage, rather than a problem with the apps?
yes, u have not the permission to write in the telephone memory! but its not becessary, us the sdcard, it will work.

Sounds good in theory, however already tried this, and the "Paste" option is not available once i'm in the file folder i want to put the files into..
Also, still hoping someone will shed some light on the location of the wallpaper gallery..
I see my system notifications are stored in /system/media/notifications but even with root Im not able to drop a new file withing this directory. I would like to do this because Handcent doesnt give me the option to select a different directory.
Any suggestions on either dropping a new sound file in the /system/media dir or using a custom sound file for Handcent?
Thanks
You should be able to put something in /sdcard/media/notifications
You have to mount system with root explorer, ADB, etc. It's read only by default.

I've tried a root file manager without success. Is it possible to change the directory permissions using ADB?

If you use root explorer, there is a little button in the upper right that toggles read write permissions.
Sweet
For the next person, I can confirm this does work, you just need to make sure the permissions are correctly set on each file and the phone (or SMS) app needs to be restarted to take effect.
Thanks everyone.
P.S. I hope you guys get a commission!
Where should I place a new notification sound so that Gmail can use it?
Thanks
If I recall correctly. You create a folder on the sdcard called notifications and put the sound file in it. You should then be able to assign it.

You create a folder named media. In that folder a folder named audio. In that folder a folder notifications and ringtones. The files u put in the notifications folder you can use to select it for gmail and (tatataaa) notifications.
Great ! That worked, thanks.
Running rooted GB on my DroidX and want to know how to put a notification sound file (facebook_pop.m4a) in the notifications folder in the phone memory (internal storage), so that when my SD card gets dismounted for use on a PC, the notification sound "facebook pop" still works. Right now every time I connect for USB Mass Storage it defaults to the annoying short ring notification sound file, since it can no longer find the Facebook pop file.
Every time I try to copy the facebook pop m4a file into the internal storage, it says Access Denied. I have tried using AndExplorer and the built in "Files" app.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. - I also need to know how to change the notification tone for just my TXT messages to something different, but leave every other notification to still use the 'facebook pop' tone
You probably need to change the directory to read and write (R/W) as opposed to read only.
I know Root Explorer has the option. Unsure of those two apps.

Yes he has to push the sound to
/system/media/audio/notifications
To change txt sound you may have to change the notification sound via settings->sound, or thru the actual sms app on your droid.
If the proplem is read/write you can use terminal emulator to put the files where you need them. I'd only recommend this if you are familiar with terminal.
If you know where the files need to go, I can help with the commands.
mount -o remount,rw /system
The above command will make your system folder writable. If you need more help, let me know.

IMO, root explorer is by far the quickest/easiest way to change permissions.

I have a trouble adding a new folder with custom ringtones on the sdcard. The device doesn't show these ringtones in system ringtone chooser whatever I do. However, on older firmwares I didn't have any problems with this, the device showed these ringtones right after I restarted the phone. Recently I full wiped and flashed MEA stock rom from the scratch, and now I can't make the device show my custom ringtones in the system menu. Adding the ringtones to System/media/audio/ringtones folder works, but I would like to have a separate folder with custom ringtones on the sdcard, so that I don't have to put them in system ringtones folder after each rom change.
Does anybody has a solution to this?

Hi,
Try Media Scanner
Media scanner didn't help. The system does see the files if i want to add them manually one by one. But the files won't appear in the menu automatically as they used to do before.

Im new here but I read somewhere that a .nomedia file may me stored in a folder and mediascanner for images,music,video will skip this folder. View hidden files and folders in your folder browser so you can see dot files and see if this file is in the ringtones folder. if yes then delete it.
Edit
Try putting a "ringtones" folder in sd card and put your ringtones in there. Then try to see if it shows up.
The previous answer was almost correct.
In your SD Card create a folder with the name "media", inside create 3 folders: "Notifications", "Ringtones" and "Alarms". By doing that your device automatically will recognize every file an list it in the right place.
Actually, I have all those folders on the sdcard. As I said, just before flashing mea Rom with full wipe, these folders were recognized and the all my ringtones were in system sound selection menu. But after flashing, whatever I do, I can't make them appear there. I only have to add them manually one by one. I think there is something changed in mea update that doesn't let you add new ringtones. However, the hangouts app created ringtones folder and two files are there and the are in the system sound selection menu. But if I add couple of my ringtones to that folder
, they don't show up after restarting the phone. The same ringtones, when put into the system/media/audio/ringtones folder using root explorer, appear in the system with no issue.
So as said, there might be some change since Mea Rom that is not letting adding new ringtones.
What do you think?

Seems very hectic for you buddy.
try this if possible.
Go to Setting-> applications-> All-> Search for Media storage-> Clear the data & Stop it (force Close). Again start this service.
Reboot the device in Recovery ( If you are rooted) then clear only dalvik cache.
Now, it will take 15 min to scan your device media.
Remember, your all Ringtones setting will be lost in this case.
Man, thanks a lot! This really worked and none of the audio settings were lost.
I am just curious, why this could happen? Maybe it's because I restored my system from Titanium backup, and media storage was there. In Mea rom there might be some changes to media storage so there was some conflict. Is it right?

Actually some of the settings were lost, like alarm etc. But not a big deal, thanks man
