I dumped some new ringtones in my phone in the /storage/emulated/0/media/ringtones folder. I then chose one using ES file explorer after going to Settings>my device>sounds. Now, when I go to pick a system ringtone using "Media Storage" when the popup comes to "complete action using" it locks up and I get Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped. I know someone on here will know how to right this wrong I've created. Thanks.
you should put them on your sd card
Media - Audio - ringtones / notifications (2 sub folders)
I put them on my SD card now. I still get the same error/crash when I try to change my ringtone back to a system one using "Media Storage" when the popup comes up.

hi guys
i have a annoying problem. i cannot choose any of my mp3s as my ringtone. they are saved under /memorycard/music and on my blackstone under /my documents/ but they dont appear in the drop-down-menu (tf3d settings -> sound -> advanced -> notification)
Try the Explorer to got to the folder where your Ringtone is. Press long on the ringtone-file and there will appear a menu. In this menu it will say something like "Set as Ringtone". Select this.
(it could be that it says something else, I got the Dutch Version of the HD/BlackStone)
thx ... it worked. actually the file was just copied to "my documents/ringtones"
obviously the songs need to be stored on the phone itself ...
too bad that it doesnt work directly with sound files on the memory card
Hi All,

I put on 6 but only one shows in the ringtone menu. Any ideas please?
Got my HD2 totay just playing with it
hi,
select your ringtone by using the file explorer (the one from HTC!) Select the mp3 and in the menu select "set as ringtone"
bye

Tried this. Start/file explorer/device/rinftones I select MP3, in Menu I only get
go to/refresh/show all files/sort by/new folder/rename/delete/edit?
Put them into device/windows/rings. Then you can Copy and paste it directly into the windows folder if you want them to show up under all other alert tones In sounds and notifications.
You can use your personal music files to be your rington.
1. First copy the files to the /My Documents/My Ringtones folder on the phone.
2. Then from the Home screen slide to the Settings tabs > Sound & display > Ringtone
3. Select the file you copied over, and then tap Done.
Alternatively, you can set any music file as your ringtone by navigating to your music using File Explorer and tapping and holding the music file and selecting Set As Ringtone.
I've found that putting them in the "My Documents" folder, and not a subfolder, works a treat. (It also means they get backed up with MyPhone.)
So I tried to make a sound file from my computer a text notification sound...
I dropped into the "Rings" folder in windows, it was a MP3 file, it showed up there and played. I went to go select it from the "Notification Sounds" but it wouldn't show up.
I later noticed all of the files were WMA, so I converted it did the same procedure and it still wouldn't show up for selection in there...
So idk what to do, I'm trying to basically make a custom text notification sound but its not showing as a selection once I drop it into the folder where the Alarm/Alert/ and Ringers are found... HELP!
I have my ringtones and notifications sounds on my sd card. I use phonealarm to select my profiles and sounds. Works great.
where'd u get the phonealarm app?
Its still on my device, if I were to put it all on my SD card would it work then? I'd rather just drop the file in there and select it from the Notification's selection, I'm just really annoyed with it right now been working at it for a while and nothing is coming up... I just want it to work finally lol.
I know it's a really late response, but if you want to change your sms alert tone, just copy the .mp3 into your 'Windows' folder on the device.
You should then be able to select it in the settings.
put them in application data\sounds folder and they will show up. thats how I have mine and it works fine.
I have all my sounds in the root of my SD card.
Figured out on the Touch HD that SMS/Reminders sounds needed to be .wav and not .mp3
Try to convert to .wav and drop it again.

Have you tried to just copy and paste it into the "Windows" folder? Not any of the sub-folders...
I have migrated from Samsung,where I could set any sound of my choice as ring alarm and msg tones.But now only ring and msg tones can be set from media folder of external sd card.There is no option to set custom tones for alarms.Can anybody guide me in this regard?
Install ES file explorer and then you can select any audio file through it, just go in the usual sound settings and click on ES file when prompted
Can't you create a folder called Alarms on phone memory and put them in there?

hi
i have es file explorer installed (and also solid for a try) but when i try to set custom i can't select the file explorer like i can when i want to set the ringtone or notify instead!
i create alarms dir, but no canche!
i also check the permission for clock app and seems ok.
with the previous moto x play (that is broken now) i'm able to select es file explore and set my song, but not now.
do you have any other solutions?? i hate oxygen tone!

Go to settings > apps > show system (three dots in top right corner) > media storage > open by default > clear defaults.
Looks like if you dump it under [internal storage]/media/audio/alarms (an old-shool location from before Android 4.0), and then rescan storage (e.g. with the help of the SD Scanner app), the Clock app will pick up on alarms stored there. (Tried with my Moto X Style, which should be similar enough software wise.) You might note that the Facebook Messenger app drops its Silent tone next to this folder, under [internal storage]/media/audio/ringtones.
An alternative is to open the file in ES File Explorer (or the Pro version), open the file in ES Media Player (or the Pro version), and then from the three-dot menu, choose "Set ringtone", then "Set alarm". Someone made a video on YouTube of this technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9L2ArNuTRk
(I preferred the former, as it let me set alarm tones for multiple alarms differently, and preserves the standard user experience.)

This didn't work for me on Android 6.0.1. Looks like the Clock app may not use the standard intent to pick tones.
Simply install ringtone maker apk from play store
ringdroid or zedge app.with zedge i set a nokia 3310 ringtone and i am very happy of this!
Craziest thing I have ever seen. In the name of developing upon the Android platform Vivo has removed the customisable notifications and ringtones. Each time the phone switches on, you have to rework all the customizations from the beginning.
Any ringtones you want to select from your personal files can only be selected from the SD card and gets erased every time the phone goes off.
I tried accessing multiple system files including downloads, music, record, others but was not able to add any ringtone files to the system default ringtone files.
Anyone here who has any ideas or success with these efforts?
Customize ringtone problem solved
Just change the ringtone formate to .ogg.
I worked for me. Put the ringtone in internal memory of ur mobile not in SD card.
And if you want to add those to ur default ringtone list then follow below steps-
1. Make a folder in your internal memory of ur mobile and name it media
2. Inside it make a folder and name it audio
3. Inside audio make 2 folders name them notifications & ringtones.
4. Put the converted .ogg files in ringtone if u want it it default ringtone list or in notifications if you want it in notification list.
That's it now all those ringtones can be selected in default list.
