So I downloaded the app Ringlert. Then I selected a ringtone,previewed it,downloaded it and set it as the default ringtone.
It turns out it was corrupted. So I went to phones ringtone list and it is there but I cannot find a option to delete it and remove it from the list. I also looked it the Ringlert app and can't find a delete option either.
Can anyone please tell me how to delete a ringtone from the phones ringtone list. The worst part is ringlert lets you customize the tones and I was experimenting with that and ended up with 4 of the same tones on the list. Please don't tell me these are permanent.
Edit/Update- I figured out how to do this. Open the Media room, select music and any downloaded ringtones will show here then you have the option to delete them.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

Hi,
Managed to set MP3 as ringtones using two different methods:
1. Via music player, long press and then 'Set As'
2. Using applications, called shartones and another one called ringtone.
Immediately after I create/save the ringtone I can see it is the list and I can choose it.
I used shartones application, edited an MP3 20 sec, saved as ringtone.
The ringtone was added to the list OK, the file WAS created in \sdcard\media\audio\ringtones\ and the file is still there after the restart, but doesn't appear in the ringtones list anymore...
When i add or move files into this directory it is useless and I can't see them on the list.
As if when I add a ringtone it is added to the database but entries are deleted when the phone starts up again...
After I turn off the phone and on again, all the ringtones are gone and none is in the list, the ringtone which is set is a default one from the original ringtones.
Does anyone have any clue for me where to look for a solution or find what goes wrong?
Thanks,
Ofer
I've set custom ringtones, notifications and alarms via settings and at least twice the SGS has lost or scrambled them (I'm not sure if it's related to me playing around with alternate launchers).
Anyway, I remember the exact same thing happening on my Nexus One and Eclair, so I think this is a basic Eclair bug rather than SGS specific.
I'm not sure how to replicate the issue, but it definitely can happen.
Hi,
did uninstall the launcherPro and restarted, I just go through same scenario again and again after each restart...
The files are piled in the ringtones directory but none appears in the ringtones list after restart.
Is there an editor that I can change file attribute, E.g. 'ringtone=Y'? (assuming there is such attribute to be set for a file?! )
Then maybe it will be picked properly to the list.
Guys any idea?
Help please.

is there a way to change the notifications into different sounds than the default ones they give you. I have othr mp3 files I would like to have in place for the default ones they give
please offer a little more information on the background. what rom are you using? what exact notification are you trying to replace? have you checked the "sounds & notifications" settings, whether there is the option which you are trying to change?

rom, i have no clue,, but i got the most recent update form tmobile, and been adding things from other users,
I checked sounds and notifications, but yet I cant find the folder thhat can be used for notifications
Hi,
The way I do it is put all the ringtone files you want to use in the folder on the root of your SD card called My Documents (if it's not there then create it).
Then got to Settings/Sounds & Notifications - select notifications tab at the bottom. All the files you added to the folder should be in the dropdown now.
Hopefully that helps.
Cheers.
I was using the phone and saw that there was only an option for ringtone media and alarm. On other phones I own I have the option for separate ringtone and notification. Is there a way to get this.
How would it be if everyone system / media folder uploads. Of course only those who want it .
Same goes to me. Even i put my own alarm with OGG format in system/media/audio/alarm, i set permission and reboot. It also didn't show in alarm ringtone list

I just went back to a stock based ROM after trying out lineage OS. One of the things I miss the most is being able to browse the file system to choose a ringtone. Why does lineage OS allow me to use a file browsing app to pick a ringtone and stock does not?
The problem is that I have made a collection of sound bites. Each sound bites has three different edits depending on what the purpose is. I differentiated each edit by storing them in different folders. The file names are all the same. using an LG V20 and it just gives me a gigantic list of sound files. Cirtain file system apps allow you to do this however their functionality is limited. For example they Wouldn't let you set notification sound or ringtones for specific numbers.
actually you can select any ringtone you wanted from your file system. Only issue is u can't see the folder structure.
Go to Settings > Sound > SM1 ringtone > (or just ringtone in case if ur phone is single sim). there you will see the list of available ringtones. Yeah, u can't see ur files there. but on top right, there are 2 buttons for add and delete ringtones. When u click (+) button, it will list out all the audible files on your phone. select the file u want and set it as your ringtone.
Craziest thing I have ever seen. In the name of developing upon the Android platform Vivo has removed the customisable notifications and ringtones. Each time the phone switches on, you have to rework all the customizations from the beginning.
Any ringtones you want to select from your personal files can only be selected from the SD card and gets erased every time the phone goes off.
I tried accessing multiple system files including downloads, music, record, others but was not able to add any ringtone files to the system default ringtone files.
Anyone here who has any ideas or success with these efforts?
Customize ringtone problem solved
Just change the ringtone formate to .ogg.
I worked for me. Put the ringtone in internal memory of ur mobile not in SD card.
And if you want to add those to ur default ringtone list then follow below steps-
1. Make a folder in your internal memory of ur mobile and name it media
2. Inside it make a folder and name it audio
3. Inside audio make 2 folders name them notifications & ringtones.
4. Put the converted .ogg files in ringtone if u want it it default ringtone list or in notifications if you want it in notification list.
That's it now all those ringtones can be selected in default list.
