How can I change the alarm ringtone?
Tap Start, Settings, System, Clock, Alarms,
Tap on the bell.
You can change the alarm sound by choosing any wav file in the Windows folder. If none of the sounds are suitable for you, then you can copy your own WAV file to the windows folder and use that.

Thank you very much.
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...
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
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.
I'm trying to set up custom notifications (e.g., in Gmail, Hangouts, etc.) and alarm tones (i.e., for my morning wake up call).
In the root of the internal sd, there are the following folders:
/Alarms
/Notifications
/Ringtones
No matter which of these folders I put the mp3 files into, they will *all* show up only as an option for a call ringtone. Not for alarms, not for notification alerts - just call ringtones.
What am I doing wrong?
For now, I am using Rings Extended to select it, but surely there's an easier way that involves using these stock folders...?!
