Custom ringtones and notifications - Galaxy S II General

Hi I just found an easy way to use custom ringtones and notifications sounds with SGS II.
Just make two folders in /sdcard with the names "Notifications" and "Ringtones"
and place into them the mp3 files for notifications and ringtones respectively.
Now when you go to the sound menu you will find these files and select therm as ringtone or notification sound.

Text message/e-mail alert tone

How do I change the sound that plays when I receive a text? Cheers!
Start, Settings, sounds & Notifications and then go down the list till you get txt and then email
I mean where do I put custom mp3s and mids so that I can choose them from that list?
my docs on ppc or make a folder called that on you sd card
YOu mean "My Documents"?
I put them there and they don't show up in the list under Sounds & Notifications.
You have to place an WAV file in your \Windows directory
Putting MP3 files in your /Windows/Ringer/ (or Ringers, cant remember) directory will make them available and selectable for notification sounds (for incoming calls, etc.)
for ringtones mp3's can be put in windows/rings folder. Or applied directly from any folder from the press and hold pop-up menu in fact.
But, they'll only be available for call alerts.
Interestingly the wizard, or perhaps it's a limitation of the o/s can only use wav files for sms, email, notficiation, alarm alerts.
These wav files need to be placed in the windows directory, then you can apply them in 'sounds and notifications'.
The strangest thing is that I can't seem to find any tool to make this work. It must not be hard to create a little app that lets you define notification events (i.e. play mp3 file) to things like new mail, new sms, alarms, etc...

Alarm notifications

Does anyone know how I can get custom alarm notifications WITHOUT a 3rd party program? I tried adding a "Ringtones" folder to my SD card and dropping an MP3 in but it isn't found under ringtones. I'd really like to be able to get some louder tones for the Alarm.
Add more folders, here's how my directory looks.
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

Changing the SMS notification sound.

Hello there!
Does anyone know how to change the New SMS notification sound for a custom MP3, WAV, WMA one??
Changing the ringer sound is super easy (You just copy the new ringer to the My Ringtones folder and then choose it in the Settings > Sound and Notifications window. But when You choose the New SMS from the menu, the new MP3s, WMAs and WAVs from the My Ringtones folder are not there. They are only available for the Incoming Call setting...
Can anyone help me and tell me how to change the SMS sound for a custom one?
EDIT: Problem solved. You need to copy the sound in WMA or MP3 format into the Windows folder on Your device. Works for me.
just windows root, c:\windows\ ?
Yes. The main Windows folder on Your device. Works perfectly for me.

Change SMS sound

Hey guys,
I have looked threw the forum and could not spot anything about changing the SMS sound on the HD2. Is this possible? If I have missed a post or tip somewhere explaining about this apologies for the repeat post.
Cheers
Take a look in sound & notification
Go to settings then press menu then choose all settings then choose sounds and notifications then go to the notifications tab and on the event drop down box choose message: new message and then select your sound
What the first poster says is how will he add more sounds as sms alarms....
If he means this he/she should add the file he likes in Device Memory\Application Data\Sounds and then search the sounds through sound and notifications
hi
you need to put the sound in wav format and place it into your windows directory. these will then be available for you to select in sounds and notifications. the ringtone files can just be put in the windows/rings folder or the rings folder in my docs
I've got mp3 files in the "my documents" folder on my device, and they show up in all the notification and ringtone lists.

Creating ring and notification tones?

Hey fellas,
I want to be able to use my own personal audio files as ring tones and notification tones. How can I do that?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They're two folders on your phone. "Notification" and "Ringtones". Put audio files in the notification folders for the notification tones and audio files in the ringtones folder for ringtones. Then you should be able to see them in the list when changing your tones either in system and individual apps.
Thanks, bro! It worked!
