Hi there. I had a thought awhile ago about the perfect ringtone picker app for setting up your ringtones.
I would like to have a setup like what the PowerAMP and MortPlayer music apps have to offer with the folder selection. It would be nice to have all of my ringtones into one folder all by themselves. A ringtone picker app that allows me to choose a folder with ringtones in it so that it will only display the ringtones within that specific folder.
This would work quite well as all other ringtone picker apps jumble together every single music file on your sd card into one giant list. I want to have more control over my ringtones. I hate having to go through every single music file I have just to set a simple ringtone. What we need is a folder setup to organize our ringtones how we want to see them. No more giant list with the ringtones mixed in with the rest of the music files.
Is there a such app that is already released? If not, I would love to
see this in development. I can't be the only one who wishes about this.

ah, it should be a folder in system called ringtone or sounds don't remember, add/delet your stuff there and your list will be clean.
RINGDROID nice app you can find on market, edit your mp3's and set them as ringtone as you wish

I've been making ringtones ever since I had my first blackberry, but I want to change notification ringers.
Unfortunately, the cyanogen build only has one notification build and I need at least 3 I prefer separate sounds for sms, email and system.
p.s. I don't know how to use ADB.
Just make a directory on your sd card named media, make one in there called audio, and then you can make ringtones - alarms- and notifications, so it would be like this
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
put your audio in those, there is a link to the stock audio resources in Cyanogen's thread.
Create a folder in your SD card named "media",
inside media make a folder "audio",
inside audio make a folder for "alarms" "music" "notification" and "ringtones"
just put your tones and music and the following folders and you should be set.
Hope this helps!
Oh sweet, I thought notifications were locked down or something, this is awesome news. Thanks
Or just use ringdroid and it will do everything for you.
Hi,
I have tried to set ringtone files properties as hidden to prevent them being searched in media library, but it seems that sometime the system setting will change back to default ringtone as the mp3 files cannot be searched.
Thus i wonder is there any method to hide mp3 ringtones being searched in library, but still can be found by system, like .nomedia in android...
Thx~~
Nobody knows...??
NO way found up to now, been searching too
There is no way; even contacting HTC, they just said to add all the songs you want to listen to to a freakin' playlist.
What I did to minimise things was set the ID3 tags for all the ringtones to be by a band called 'ringtones', in a 'ringtones' album. At least this way it prevents the ringtones from being listed under the original album/artist.
SOLVED
Use total commander or resco file explorer, set the folder with your ringtones or any other folder you don't want to have in your player to hidden. Take out your SD card, restart your phone, select the music tab, it should say no music found, unless you have files on the phone you want picked up by it, put your SD card back in, and restart again. select the music tab. This WORKED for me, hopefully it will work for everyone else.
Where to put Alarm tones?
Hi!
Found a nice breaking glass sound and wanted to use it when i recive an sms, but that was not easy. Where shall i put the file?
I've tried : Rings inside Windows folder, My ringtones in My Documents, but it does not shows up where you change the Alert sound. The sound is in wave format, what more could it ask for?

I will try this asap!
Like my new Incredible compared to my BB Storm, but I'm missing a few things.
While I can add MP3's as ring tones, I can't figure out
Create two folders on your SD card. One named ringtones and another named notifications (for text sounds). Once you copy files to those folders they will show up in the list.

For whatever reason this never would work for me. So what I did was create a folder on the root of my SD called media. Inside media created folders called ringtones and notifications. I then converted the MP3 or whatever format the media was in to M4A using the latest beta of Audacity (awesome app). Tossed the converted media into the appropriate folder, and voila, I can has sounds.
This may seem a little convoluted to some people, but it works for me.
download ringdroid from the market, allows you to pick the portion of the mp3 you want, and you can set it as alarm, notification, or ringer

Actually, there should be three folders, and they should all be on the root of the SD card. The two you mentioned, plus one called alarms. These three folders will let the various sounds you load only show for the correct applications.
For instance, put a sound called alarm1 in the alarms folder and it will only be selectable as a alarm for various clock apps. However, put the same sound in notifications instead, and it will only be available to apps that use a notification alert, like calendars.
The other advantage to using these three folders is that it keeps the sounds from showing up in media player apps. I can't tell you how annoying it was to have my music playing randomly and then an alarm sound would play. Then I'm checking my phone to see what it is trying to remind me about only to discover that darned thing played in my media rotation.

Are the sounds showing up in the "songs" your media player lists?
I would recommend creating these folders under /emmc in place of /sdcard that way if the SD Card is removed your custom ring-tones/notifications will still work....
here is the folder structure that I am using:
/emmc/Media/Audio/Alarms
/emmc/Media/Audio/Notifications
/emmc/Media/Audio/Ringtones
Mixzing media player, if you use that, also allows you to set mp3's as ringtones.

I like this idea.....
Is there anything out there I can use to view these "system" folders on my PC? When I look at the phone on my computer I only see a couple folders.
I just use zedge app and let it do all the work.

Wouldn't the ringtones/notification sounds come up in the music player then?

What I have noticed it that sound files in any of those 3 folders won't show up in my music player whether they are on the phone or the sdcard. If you put a sound file in the media folder it will show up, but nothing in the 3 sub folders will.
I haven't tried putting them anywhere else but I think it's safe to assume that folders named Alarms, Notifications, and Ringtones are ignored.
gadget!
For the life of me I can't figure this out. I have an mp3 and I see nowhere on it to set it as the ringtone, and I see nowhere on the ringtone menu to use a custom tone.
Yeah, just went through that myself. Not sure if it's a bug, or what, but I found a workaround. Check my other post on this in the development.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8149050&postcount=19
EDIT: Oh wait, that fix is for setting a custom ringtone for one specific contact. If you just want to set your default system ringtone, that's under Settings > Sound & display > Phone ringtone. In order for your mp3 to show up in the selection of ringtones, you will need to created a folder called ringtones on your sdcard and put the mp3 in there.
great! thanks
Or you use the app called Ringdroid , lets you edit mp3 into ringtones and its free.

Installed 2.3.4 on my HD2. I do have one question:
I cannot find a capability to assign/select separate Ringtones for my contacts as I could do in 2.3.3. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Two tips that I have learned in the past couple of days when moving up from 2.2.
1. If anyone uses a Magic Jack and needs to listen to their voice mail. I have found that WavPlayer (Free) does work to play the voice mails.
2. If you want an easy way to increase the size of your Icons/apps use LCD Density Changer.
Hope these two helps others.
Im using hyperdroid CM7 which uses 2.3.4. I can do it on mine.
Contacts>Click on your preferred contact>Hit Windows Button And Choose Options> Ringtone (Set as default)

Thanks! Your are right. I was choosing Edit instead of OPTIONS. I do appreciate your help! Give you a 'Thank You'!
no worries mate
Under 2.3.4, you don't see Media for Ringtones, Notifications? Did they move that?
well on my build i can pick between media or stock android sounds. even long pressing on a song in the music app lets me set it as sms or ringtones

Thanks, that did it as it placed the song in Ringtones.
However, where are Ringtones, Notifications stored? Under other Android OS these were stored under Media. I cannot find a Media folder.
Gave you a 'Thank You.'
no worries bro , on my SD card i have a folder called ringtones with 30 sec clips of all the different ringtones I've used. These ringtones ALWAYS appear when I'm picking a notification sound (even when I flash a new rom) so I guess you could try creating a ringtones folder on your SD card and rebooting your phone and see what happens. Hope it helps

I also have two folders on my SD card.
1. I got from a previous version of Android 2.2.2 called Media.
2. I made and call Ringtones where I made ringtones and placed them in there.
However, when I view either one, they both do not contain the music filoe that I put in yesterday using the method you suggested. I used Music player and held down on that song until Select as Ringtone option appeared. I could them see that ringtone song when I wanted to select that ringtone for my SMS. However, I cannot see that specific song in either of the abobe 2 folders: Media and Ringtones.
So, that is why I ask if anyone knows where Ringtones are stored when using 2.3.4.
Again, I do appreciate your time, help and have a great day. Thank you!
