Does anybody know where I can find the folder where new ringtones are added? I've been going around in circles for a while now, and I can't seem to find where they are. Or are they just shown on the UI and just accessed by the system from their original folders?

Hi, I would like to know what kind of extension are the extension icon files in WM. Are for example settings.ico? The second question is, where can I get some icon files to change my folders icons? How can I asign or change the icons in my folders?
I need to make this change because I want to agroup apps or games and put then in the "All Programs" tab.
Thanks for your answers.
Does anyone if we can access the wallpapers and ringtones that come with the phone to delete a few of them?
Would deleting them affect any other parts of the system?
Can we add our one ringtones and wallpapers to that location or are we limited to just putting those items on the SD card?
I have a bunch of ringtones and notification tones that I want to sort or rename. My phone puts them all in one selection list which I dont like. Is there an app or a suggestion how I can have them appear in group folders when I make a selection on the phone?
Not sure if this the answer your looking for but you can try Astro and organize the files the way you like.

What are the best locations for putting ringtones, alarms & notifications?
For music, I created the folder /mnt/extSDCard/Music and it all works well.
But when I create and populate similar Alarms, Notifications, and Ringtones folders in /mnt/extSDCard, the standard pickers that are available to me in Rings Extended don't seem to pick up the content of these folders. I can opt to use Root Explorer as my picker but then I don't get any previews, which is not useful.

There are folders for these on the internal sdcard, I always just move the files into the appropriate system folder (system/media/audio) then change permissions and reboot.
Does anyone know what directories you put custom alarms, ringtones, and notification sounds? I'm coming from an HTC m9 and when I moved files into the "normal" folders (Alarms, Ringtones, Notifications) they don't show up in the selection menu/tab. I was able to access them by digging through the Music tab but I know there should be an easier way to find them.
With ES File Explorer Pro, I've placed additional ringtones and notifications in the following locations:
/storage/emulated/0/Ringtones
/storage/emulated/0/Notifications
Note that your phone may categorize the sound files under the header "music" when selecting them.
If you're rooted, I simply move them to the appropriate folder in /system/media/ in the root directory. If you go this route, make sure to set permissions to 644.
