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...?!

Ive managed to set my audio files as ringtones but is it possible to set them as a SMS recieved tone?
yip, put the file in the map windows on your mobilephone and choose this file as your receive email sound. PS: i didnt test it with wma but it must work!!!
I'm almost sure its the New sms option in the sounds and notifications , not the new e-mail one.
in fact you can choose sound for many notifications in settings/phone/other settings/ and chose email, sms, even msn messenger notification sound.
when i test it i can only choose my alien.wma
when i change the phonering in notifications
it's not present on the list if i choose sms recieve or mail recieve
You have to copy the file in the \Windows directory and il will then appear listed for SMS too
As far as I know (on XDA I), you can only assign wma files to ringtones. SMS tones need to be wav.
It seems they use different audio engines.
i've tried to copy it to windows and windows/rings
and non of those locations matter to the list of my
sms notification or any other non phone edition spc
notification for that matter
i tried that too, and i conclude that it's not possible to set wma files to sms notification... it has to be wav...
regards
can we make the tone cut of with a push of a button.. my tone goes 4 ages and i cannot cut it of when im reading my msgs!
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.
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to separate out Alarm sound files from Ringtones.
I've set up a Media folder on the phone and within that folder set an Alarm, Ringtone and Notifications folder and I've placed the appropriate files within each directory.
HOWEVER,
When going to choose my alarm sound when setting the alarm, the phone lists all standard alarm files(stock sounds in the root folder), PLUS all the Ringtone files as well.
So if I place an alarm sound file in the 'Alarms' folder that I created, the phone doesn't care and also includes all the files from the Ringtones folder as well, which I don't want because I have MANY Ringtones but only about 10 Alarm sound files.
Shouldn't the phone's ALARM Function only choose sound files from the 'Alarm' folders? (whether Stock folder and or user created folder)?
Is there a way to coax the phone into operating logically when it comes to segregation of Alarm sound files (without root)?
