I downloaded an app called RingsExtender which allows you to choose sounds other than the default sounds ("Look At Me", "Captain's Log", etc) for your notification sounds for GMail, SMS, Google Talk, etc. However, I was wondering, does anyone know a good website or anywhere where I can find notification sounds as .mp3s or .wavs?

just look around. google wavs. i personally download mario sound effect. i really like the yoshi sound
I need an app like that but I can't fnd it. anybody got the apk?
I used that app before until I've realized (read somewhere on the forum) that all you need to do is put sound files into notifications or ringtones folder on your SD card and then they will appear in the list of sounds when you choose new sound for apps.
As for sounds just Google it -- there are plenty of sound resources on the web.
Ringdroid will allow you to cut a piece of an MP3 and save it as a notification or ring. Is that what you're looking for?
do they have to be in .ogg format to work? andexplorer won't let me copy/paste wavs or mp3 into the system folders.
I also have a question on this( sort of)
Where can I get the default ringtones? I think they got removed on cyanogens roms.. but I actually liked some of them. Help? Or pm me. Thanks!
Sorry double post

Hands down the best ringtone site Ive come across.
Free , LOTS to choose from , and seems to have a userbase uploading some unique ones.

just make the following directory structure using your computer on the fat32 partition and put the mp3 files there...
/audio/ringtones
/audio/notifications

There is a link to Audio Resources in the first post of the cyanogen stable rom thread. That contains everything removed plus more.
thanks for the help!

I gave you the wrong info here it is actually..
media/audio/ringtones
media/audio/notifications
I keep my notification sounds on my ext3 partition, because the phone can still acess them when the fat32 partition is mounted in your computer.
All you have to do is push the media folder to /system/sd although I did make to make all the folders manually, only took a couple of minutes though, and the sounds show up on the phone just like they would on the fat32 partition.
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?!
Hi there, I've been using a Froyo 2.2 Sense Build (not exactly sure which one anymore) for a while now with no stability issues, even Robovoice just being a problem in certain situations, not always.
So it is pretty much an almost complete WinMo replacement if it wasn't for two things;
Sense Music app is displaying all sounds (even from games etc) in the tracks list. all my music used to sit in the "music" folder on the root of my SD card. Now i put the music folder into the media folder that was created by android.
I still get all audio files there. (I also get every ringtone triple btw) Please advise.
The other thing is skype, but that isn't an android issue just Skype LLC/Ebay effing with the users and not seeing the light. Damn them until they do.
nope use meridian.. it is a good music and video app.
Very simple solution fro Froyo. Just create a file named .nomedia and put in any folder u want to exclude scanning.

This is easy man...go to market and download an app called gallery enabler...then you are able to choose the folder/media you want it to be scanned by android system...currently skype is not available to android...try fring....
Skype...

Havent been on android in a long while... and cant remember the process.
BUT how do you change your ringtones to using MP3s. I remember that you are suppose to put it in a certain folder, but which one and where in the directory.
Thanks
they go in:
/sdcard/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/audio/notifications
/sdcard/audio/alarms

the problem is ... theres no sdcard/// well i mean audio subfolder
Yes, there is. The storage partition is mounted as /sdcard. Just create the audio subfolder and throw your mp3s in there.

thanks... I thought I had to put it in the directory with all the original ringtones.
There's a little trick if you use winamp:
when playing the ringtone, set it as ringtone:

Odd ringtone behavior
I've noticed an issue with my custom ringtones: the phone's ringtone resets to a default tone by itself.
I have a few mp3 ringtones and notification tones stored in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (and notifications). I will select the ringtone I want in settings, but after a while the phone reverts back to a default ringtone. When I go back to check my settings, none of the custom ringtones are listed. It's as if the phone doesn't see them on the internal SD card.
Most times, a reboot will clear it up; however, there doesn't seem to be any indication as to why my custom ringtone settings are lost.
I'm sure the mp3 files are OK, as I've used them before on a variety of android phones.
Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior? Any ideas what might cause this issue?
Thanks,

Do you keep your contacts on the phone, the sim, or synced with Google? That might provide a clue.
I have had this happen before. Usually as a result of unmounting the internal storage. Easiest fix (doesn't take that long) if your rooted is to just adb push them to the rom. You can do it on a stock rooted rom, then do a titanium backup and in the future it will push them to whatever rom your on. But no, to answer your question, I'm not sure what causes it but it's easier to just push them once and forget about them since they take up so little space.
Everything is synched with Google.
I'll try the root and push to rom solution.
Thanks

i have the same problem, and everything's synced to Google as well. Every time I mound my SD and unmount it the ringtones get mixed up or reset.
Looks as if the internal sdcard is unmounting automatically. When I lose my ringtones, looks as if I can't launch any apps I've moved over the sdcard. Strange.
Ringtone problem...Changes?
I don't know if i'm just drinking too much or if it's doing it on it's own but does anyone notice that the ringtone changes to a different one every day? I Use my own MP3 and they are no longer than 30 seconds but every day, it will set itself to a different tone....hmmm
I have noticed that I also notice that my SMS tones also change and this has to do if and when I actually connect to the USB and mount the USB.
Same here.
There seems to be a slew of issues with this phone, of which the list seems to grow by the day. It's a huge deterrent.
Is it my imagination, or are there more issues with this release than a typical phone release? It really supports what I believe was a rushed product by Google/Sammy.
i love the phone no doubt but the ringtone thing bugs me a lot. i can never tell when my phone is ringing. i been using the same tone forever.....30 days to return it if purchased at full price....thinking thinking thinking.
I have the same issue. Well issues being reported. I like the phone, for this being my first dive into Android but damn. I think this might be more of a FAIL then the N1.
I'm really thinking of returning it to Best Buy. But what phone to get? Stock Android is awesome and with fast updates it is a toss up.
Anyone else having the issue with wanting to ditch it but yet what other phone on the market will be stock android?
Well at least we all have a few more weeks to think about it.
heard someone say that the 2.3.1 update fixes it
[Q] ringtone folder?
where do i put ringtones on the nexus S? i made a folder under media so its like media>audio>ringtone but for somereason it did not recognize it. where do i put ringtones, notifications, alarms?
this thread i guess should be on the cyanogen developer thread, but i'm a noob & can't bost there.
there's a few similar threads for different phones & different OS'es including windows mobile, but not for the aria. closest to what i'm seeing is this htc diamond thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461809&page=2
alas, the phone will ring (&vibrate) for a brief second on the 1st incoming call after a reboot. thereafter, it does not ring at all. i was on cyanogen 6 when i noticed this, and upgraded to 7rc thinking that the system wipe / os-change would cure the ailment. it didn't.
originally i noticed this when playing with custom ringtones, but at least once custom tones were tried, no ring even with the htc/cyanogen ringtones.
at the tail of the thread i quoted someone says:
"copy ringtone to music in phone memory..and one thing only the cut edited mp3 can play.. i think.. mine now ok.."
but that's a bit vague. music? means the directory that has your mp3's? really, the phone memory? or the sdCard? besides this sounds like a workaround - all the tones that show up on the selection screen should work.
who's seeing this? anyone found a cure?

firstly, no, this doesn't belong in the developer section. you put it in the right section.
secondly, have you tried copying your ringtones to your internal memory (i.e. NOT sdcard)?
thirdly, can you play music? is it possible that it's a hardware issue (i.e. speaker)?
zervic - thanks for picking up this thread.
1stly - ok, great.
2ndly - what's the path in the internal memory for ringtones? the pre-built ones i assume are there and the symptoms are the same, so not sure if this will help.
3rdly - yes, music plays fine, or the ringtones play fine if i'm on the ringtone selector screen.

not sure of the path off the top of my head, you'll need root explorer to be able to see anything "outside" of your sdcard. check the root of your sd card for a media folder or something like that...that's kind of odd that music would play fine but not your ringtone when you're getting a call.
i do hv root explorer, but so far have not found the ringtone path - i looked around a bit there.
also, the status bar is flashing a muted speaker icon when the line stops ringing, though not during when it should be ringing.
i suspect that some setting is awry. could be one of the apps that manipulates the ringing, or remnants thereof. but i did already try to remove all 'of them while trouble-shooting this.
just to wrap up this thread: i went to the nightly builds, version 12 now, i think. yes, wiping all the data/caches.
instead of restoring my titanium backups in one go like i did going to RC1, i'm now doing it one by one.
so far the phone is still ringing. i guess we'll never know what caused it not to in the first place.
