Hey, jsut need to ask how can I set a file (.mp3) from my music folder as my ringtone?
Go to that music file, long press it. There will be an option to set it as ringtone.

Well..tried that, I only have Share, Delete, Move, Copy, Rename and Info.
Put the ringtones in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones and reboot
Similarly for /sdcard/media/audio/alarms and /sdcard/media/audio/notifications.
You can then choose it normally from the list of tones.

Ok, got it that works, thanks. Is there any other way without having to have the file in ringtones folder?

Ok here that another way you are asking--->
Let you music file be any where on your device or the external SD card, it doesn't matter. Simply locate your file and touch to PLAY it (using the defalut sound player). Now press teh MENUE button and it will ask you to SET AS. Now select PHONE RINGTONE and you get this music file as your ringtone.
Of course alternatively, you can straightway start the desired music file in your default music player and press menu button and select SET AS and follow next step as mentoined above.
I hope this helps you... and if yes.. pls. click the THANKS BUTTON

Or download Rings Extended https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angryredplanet.android.rings_extended this is not an app but allows you to choose music directly from your sound settings.

In camera mode tap Spanner/Wrench icon then hit the next one and you get option to turn off sound.

Silent Shutter Sound
Sollution to disable Shutter sound on your device:
*First of all download Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/smartphone/explorer/default.asp )
Install this on your device.
*Record with the the standard voice-recorder in windows a wav-file without sound (so simply disable your microphone) make it 5 seconds to make sure it does not have any bad influence on your camera-application.
*Give this file a very simple name starting with an underscore or a number to have it on the top of your list (especially on smartphones the Windows folder is very very long for scrolling) Name it something like "_mute.wav"
* Copy this file from your PC to your device using your windows explorer, put this in the Windows folder on your device
* Now open Resco Explorer on your device, press "menu" , "options" , "browser" and uncheck the "Hide hidden files..." option
* Now browse on your device to the windows folder and locate your mute wav file, now choose "action" , "rename" and give the file the name of the standard shutter sound file (on a Samsung i320 it is "camera_shutter_1.wav" (please do not choose "camera_shutter_ 2.wav" or "camera_shutter_3.wav" because these are first played and afterwards you will get still the "camera_shutter_1.wav"-file)
* You now will get some alert-windows if you are sure etc. just press yes and then.... SILENT SHUTTER IS THERE!
This works for my Samsung i320 so I am pretty sure it works for all devices...

Well for Hermes devices this seems like a heck of a long way round when the camera has an option to turn shutter sound off!!
Mike
and on the phones that dont have the option in the app to turn off the shutter sound there is a reg hack to get rid of it as well...
Well, it's a bit old topic, but I have the same problem. I cannot disable the camera shutter sound! I have the HTC official Hermes WM6 ROM (3.54.255.3)
I've tried altering the HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM\SoundFile key in registry,so that it points to nonexisting file, after that changing it to existing "silent" WAV, altering few other keys in registry (ForceShutterSound set to 0, ShutterSoundVolume to 1, after that to 0) even "force-renaming" my own WAV into \Windows\ShutterSound.wav... Nothing worked, there still is the sound, even if I switch the phone to silent mode. And of course, it can't be set in the Setting screen of Camera application. Anyone have an idea how to get rid of the sound? Isn't there a way to somehow "delete" the file, even if it has the flag "In ROM", and therefore can't be deleted by Total Commander (for example) ?
EDIT: By doing all of this, I have achieved, that the shutter is silent when the phone is in "Sound Off" or "Vibrate" mode... But it would be really nice if it could be disabled completely, even when in standard "Sound On" mode.

Sad thing is that this is actually true in Japan.....
Actually, now I have the capability of turning the sound off (by switching the phone to Vibrate mode), so if I really wanted to take upskirt pictures, I would be able to LOL
I want to disable the sound in "sound on" mode, because it is really annoying and because I just don't want someone else to dictate me what setting should I have enabled/disabled on MY phone, which I have paid for.
I had the diamond and the HTC Pro2 before and whenever I got a ring that I don't want, I just press on one of the volume buttons and it will mute the ring, but in the HD2, I remember it was working at the begininning but after some installation or tweak I lost it and even the mute ring button on screen is not working any more, does anybody know how to fix this. Thanks

Both actions should mute the ring. Try the third option. Flip over the phone to face it down. It also mutes.
I also have this issue but on text messages.. I have a song as the ringer for a text.. the ringer wont stop unless i actually open the message that was received. =(
If i get one txt after another, both songs overlap

nope, it does that for everyone. Use a shorter sound?

Thanks for reply.. However, to those considering using a shorter sound as an sms. if the mp3 sound is to short or file size to small, the phone wont pick it up, it wont even appear as an option to use as a ringer.
in that case use wma or wav files. the alarms that come built in are around 50k wma files.
Another observation was that if you fo to Setting> All Setting> Sound & Notifications.. Notifications tab, Select Incoming Message, and select Display Message on Screen.. Then the ringtone will only sound for 3-5 secons...
Just FYI..
Is there anyway to mute the volume change beep heard when using the rocker? Very annoying since i use no lock and use the rocker to unlock the screen.
Not really mute, but yes, you could remove it or replace with another. You must be rooted. What ROM are you using? If you want you could delete these sounds completely or replace the mp3 s with another sound ofyour choosing by using the same names. Look in \system\media\audio\ui
If you have root explorer you can just rename them to .bak just incase you change your mind.

I looked in side the ui folder, but I couldn't find the right .ogg file that sounds like the volume rocker. Couldn't it be in another folder?
I remember when I had tasker, I would mute the media volume in order to disable the shutter sound.
Running cm7
The Android system beep doesn't come from an .ogg file. It's probably hardcoded in an executable (just like the system beep of your computer). But which one?

I've already see this but this is not im looking for. Invidual ringtone for each contact in phonebook. Sorry for not giving the exact info. I forgot to mention it
I don't have FroyoBread installed but it should work same way. You must have ringtone in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones. Open contact, press left button, select options and there you can set ringtone

Do you mean having two separate lists of notification/ringtone sounds to choose from?
You can use a file explorer (Like ES File Explorer) to put media inside the storage\0\Ringtones and \Notifications folders respectively.
Or are you saying that your ringtone and notification sounds are identical?
Sorry I meant volumes. I would like to turn off notification volume and leave ring on.
Only can be done with a custom rom to my knowledge. That feature was implemented into the rom I'm using now.
What rom are you using?
Settings/Sound ¬ification/Default notification ringtone/None
I want the phone to ring I want notification off only.

Why not set up your priority mode under Do not disturb for only calls?

This is the same setting that I use on my 6P. My ringtone will go off when I get a phone but my notification is silent.
