Best location for ringtones, etc? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

You can put games in the Quicklinks. The phone came with Guitar Hero in the quicklinks.
i realize that.. i mean the folder games. sorry
can i put the folder games in the quicklinks?
anyone have any tips for me please?
ive come up with another thing that annoys me about my layout.. maybe there's a workaround someone knows?
when going into albums storage card it shows all the folders on my storage card for images.. is there away for it to show them like a tree? meaning not show all subfolders right away? i have a folder in my storage card named wallpapers, and inside that are 15 folders, (portrait.landscape, high res. etc..) when i open albums they all show up.. i'd like it to just show wallpapers then IF I CHOSE wallpapers then it would show the subfolders.
Thanks

What do you mean by wallpaper-changer? You can adjust your wallpaper if you go on settings-tab and then on personalize.
If you want to customize your icons, use this app:

and search for custom icons in themes / apps area.
wallpaper changer - i had a SPV C550(HTC) and there was a proggy for changing the homescreen wallpaper every 10,30 seconds etc.. so curious if anyone has found the similiar thing for there htc.. where it would change the homescreen wallpaper every 10, 30 seconds or minute. but when backlight turns off the changer would stop of course.
thanks for icon changer info

No I dont know how to show all your albums just by clicking on the quicklink, but you can navigate to your favorite album and hit the right softkey. There you can choose "set album as favorite". Now, when you click on the quicklink, it will allways show up your defined album instead of "no albums found".
To the OP,

Ringtones and Wallpapers Location/Deleting Default Ones

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?

Ringtone / Notification Manager Help

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.

Where's the ringtone folder for added ringtone?

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?

Location for custom sounds (alarm, notification, ringtone)

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.
