Hey All,
I am a proud owner of nexus 4.
I use the stock android 4.4.2 KitKat.
I've put a mp3 file on my phone
and I want to use it for two purposes:
1) User the original Alarm clock when pressing on the clock.
2) Set a mp3 ringtone.
On both cases I receive the same message:
"wrong file type, please select again"
Please advise,
Thanks in advance!

I cant seem to figure out how to add a sound to the list of sounds that I can select for an alarm. Its easy ot do with ringtones, just click/hold on the file and then click set as ringtone, but to change the alarm sound, the only way I can figure out to do it is by clicking the little bell above the alarm time and selecting something from the dropdown. I've tried putting files all over the place to get them to show up in the dropdown, and none do. Anyone have any insight into this?
the alarm sounds are located in the windows folder, they have to be wav files.
are there any sort of bitrate specifications, or will just any bitrate work?
Hej all!
I'm lookin for a way to edit / exchange the alarm sounds of my xda.
Is there any todo you can suggest? I tried to select some other wave and wma files, but they still dont pop up in the sound and alarm menue. what is the specific place to put new files in so they work as alarm sounds?
Cheers!
Eureka!
\Windows <there it is!
I'd like to have an mp3 as my morning wake up call instead of the default alarm tones. Is it a massive issue to do this? I can't seem to find an easy way to do it. I'm assuming i'm gonna have to edit the length of the file, convert it and then save it to the /windows/rings folder?
Does this sound right?
The easy way is "Klaxon", an amazing freeware application to manage alarms with mp3 song.
Another applications is G-Alarm but I have read about some problem with HD2 and is not freeware.
In my HD2 now I use Klaxon and I like it very much.

in file manager save the mp3 as a ringtone,should show up in alarms then too (although I haven't tried)
Saving as a ringtone will not add it to the alarms list, I've tried it. I used mp3splitter to chop an mp3 up, then converted it to a wav on my PC (sorry can't remember the name of the freeware that does this, something obvious like mp3towav anyways). Once converted drop the wav into the Windows folder, it will now show up in the alarm tones list (note there is a filesize restriction, I have a file just over 4MB in size, however when I tried a longer tone that came to 8MB it didn't show).
Klaxon sounds like an easier alternative to all that though!
RE: Klaxon - does it replace the inbuilt alarms UI? By that I mean when you press the alarms button on the homescreen, does it take you to Klaxon? Can you post a link to the version of Klaxon you are using on your HD2? Thanks!
Put 'em into the root directory of the MicroSD
I have an MP3 ringtone for calls and another one for reminders... worked straight out of the box without any messing around - from the Settings tab to "Sounds & Display" to "Notification sounds".
On mine, it's able to automatically access anything that's in the root directory of the Storage Card.
Is it possible to have the alarm on continuous ring? On default the alarm rings once, stops for 10-15 seconds then rings again.
Hey guys, Im wondering any of you knows if there is a option to choose a song saved anywere in the phone as an alarm tone. Right now the only way that I found to set a custom song for the alarm is to move / copy that song to the "Alarms" folder of the phone.
I was using the phone and saw that there was only an option for ringtone media and alarm. On other phones I own I have the option for separate ringtone and notification. Is there a way to get this.
How would it be if everyone system / media folder uploads. Of course only those who want it .
Same goes to me. Even i put my own alarm with OGG format in system/media/audio/alarm, i set permission and reboot. It also didn't show in alarm ringtone list
