Where are the stock system ringtones stored?

If I wanted to move a tone from my sdcard to the system how would I do that?
Think I found it - /system/media/audio? ringtones/ and notifications/
Looks like that's it.

Were you able to add a ringtone. Do they need to be in ogg format?

That's the correct directories, if u have root u can use either root explorer or the adb cmds via the cmds prompt to move them into the directory.

If you want high res wallpaper and tones including message tones just download zedge from the market. They have good wallpapers and tones there. My daughter used the clip from despicable me "it's so fluppy, I'm gonna die" as message tone and is quite funny . She got it from Zedge.

"Linda" robotic voice from Voodoo

For those (like me) who want to use "Linda" to tell us other things (like texts, missed calls, etc) this is where he got it from.

Select "Linda" for the voice and "Old Robot" for effect.

Thanks I was totally just looking for this!

Cool stuff,
How can we get this implement in our vibrants to sepak up texts, missed calls, etc ?
Thank you.

Yea that would be pretty cool

Create your file and put it on your SD card media/audio/notifications
Then open the messaging app go to settings, notification settings, select ringtone
For Handcent or similar do the same thing.
That's all

Will try when I get home,
Thank you very much.

Great find
This great !!
Thank you ...I been looking for something like this ..
I have a few idea for it ...

This works great!!!! You have to make sure when you preview the voice you hear exactly what you typed. If you hear the ad for you to purchase the program just replay the voice until you only hear what you typed. Then export to desktop. I downloaded a free wav to mp3 converter to convert the wavs to mp3 and ogg.
I used ringdroid to save the mp3's to the proper folders on the phone. My new notifications are:
Gmail "Jimmy, you have mail"
Hotmail "Jimmy, you have hot mail"
Message/sms "Jimmy, you have a message"
Voicemail "Jimmy, you have a voicemail"
Shutdown "Good bye Jimmy, Shut down will begin in five, four, three, two, one, shut down process is complete. Have a nice day"
Here is the link to the free converter. Works very well.

If you are creating a long shutdown message you can trick the program if you do not use periods. Instead, use a comma so the program will not insert an add in between.
Here is an example of a shutdown sound I made.

Here is the .ogg file if anyone wants it. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=68AQMREX

Sounds sweet, ill use it.

First you will need to download the wav to mp3 converted that I posted in my reply above. After you convert it to a .mp3 you can name it whatever you like. Put the new ringtone on the root of your phone. You can make a new folder called "ringtones" if you like. Now your phone will be able to use that new sound as a notification sound or a ringtone.

Bootup sound is PowerOn.wav in system/etc shutdown is shutdown.ogg in the system/media/audio/ui

Are you looking for an Android App or one for your PC?
AFAIK, there is none for Android, but you could try MP3Gain, it's free and open source. Does the job quite well

Yeah, suppose i could mount my SD and scan on the PC but was looking more for an android app to do it

There is none for Android, unfortunately

I use 'Adobe Audition'.
It has a bit of a steep learning curve, but you can normalize, cut, edit, fade, convert and mix tracks.
It is PC software though.

Blackberry Priv Sounds

Can anyone with the Blackberry Priv, possibly extract the sounds from the system directory? I'm sure it would be very much appreciated by a lot of us folks who do not have the device to extract them ourselves...
Thanks In Advance

Sounds (ringtones/notifications)

Hi,
All I was curious what is the easiest way to add old sounds (ringtones and notifications) from older android OS's to the 6P?
I don't really like the new sounds and I wanted to bulk a bunch of sounds into the system from my old phones ROM.
Thanks J

Just save them to ringtones in device memory, easy

I have been using a app called MP3 Cutter/Ringtone Maker. It lets you set MP3 files as ringtones or notification. Then they show up available in the OS.

You can use rocket player to add your ringtone. I'm not sure of other players offer that function but I know rocket player will work.

Are you rooted? Someone posted a zip of ringtones and notifications. I can find the link or post the zip if need be.

I'm using Rings Extended for years now. Small, reliable and audio files can be stored wherever you want.

Just copy your ringtones with any file manager into the "Ringtones" folder in the internal storage.
Same as notifications, just copy them to "Notifications" into your internal storage.
You can do it also with a PC.

Rocket player is a free app and will work for what you need. Long press on the song select ringtone.

I put in rocket player , the app says it cost me money either by credit card or pay pal,
Have I got the right app???

It's not the phones fault, it's the OS not recognizing it as a ringtone. Address it from that point and you might find a solution.
