I have migrated from Samsung,where I could set any sound of my choice as ring alarm and msg tones.But now only ring and msg tones can be set from media folder of external sd card.There is no option to set custom tones for alarms.Can anybody guide me in this regard?
Install ES file explorer and then you can select any audio file through it, just go in the usual sound settings and click on ES file when prompted
Can't you create a folder called Alarms on phone memory and put them in there?

hi
i have es file explorer installed (and also solid for a try) but when i try to set custom i can't select the file explorer like i can when i want to set the ringtone or notify instead!

i also check the permission for clock app and seems ok.

Go to settings > apps > show system (three dots in top right corner) > media storage > open by default > clear defaults.
Looks like if you dump it under [internal storage]/media/audio/alarms (an old-shool location from before Android 4.0), and then rescan storage (e.g. with the help of the SD Scanner app), the Clock app will pick up on alarms stored there. (Tried with my Moto X Style, which should be similar enough software wise.) You might note that the Facebook Messenger app drops its Silent tone next to this folder, under [internal storage]/media/audio/ringtones.
An alternative is to open the file in ES File Explorer (or the Pro version), open the file in ES Media Player (or the Pro version), and then from the three-dot menu, choose "Set ringtone", then "Set alarm". Someone made a video on YouTube of this technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9L2ArNuTRk
(I preferred the former, as it let me set alarm tones for multiple alarms differently, and preserves the standard user experience.)

This didn't work for me on Android 6.0.1. Looks like the Clock app may not use the standard intent to pick tones.
Simply install ringtone maker apk from play store
ringdroid or zedge app.with zedge i set a nokia 3310 ringtone and i am very happy of this!

I was setting things in the registry yesterday (On my Cingular-branded 8125, aka the Wizard/HTC P4300), and my BT stopped working. And it wouldn't connect via IR, USB, or anything else, either. So I cleared the storage and installed everything back, and put everything back where it was. Then, I app unlocked it and changed five other registry keys (To make it keep CABs after installing, remove the SMS sent notification, change my ringtone directory from \windows\ to \Windows\Rings\ [which worked before], to change my camera sound to \windows\Canon EF Shutter Sound.wav, and to reassign the Contacts softkey to PocketCM). Now, it shows two copies of all of the default ringtones in Start > Settings > Sounds & Alerts and Start > Settings > Phone. Also, when I go to File Explorer and go to \Windows\Rings\ to set an .mp3 file as my ringtone, it says that it was copied to \Windows\Rings\ and set as my ringtone. But when my phone actually rings, it plays the wrong file. So what registry keys or files do I need to move/copy/edit/delete/create to fix this? The police siren it set itself to is starting to get annoying...
*Pasted from this thread over at Brighthand.
ok, this may be a dumb question, but did you go in under settings, and set it to the ringtone that you want?
Yup. I set it in Sounds & Alerts and under Phone in the Start > Settings menu. Then I also tried setting HKCU>ControlPanel>Sounds>RingTone0>SavedSound to "\Windows\Rings\[name of my ringtone, ends in .mp3]" Without the quotes and a real file in place of the statement enclosed in brackets. I also set the same value to "">Sound. And it still plays a random ringtone from \Windows\. If I use File Explorer to set my ringtone from \Windows\Rings\, it sets the same value for the same file, but for some strange reason it plays an entirely different .mp3 (also in \Windows\Rings\) when it actually rings. So what the crap is up with my ringtones?!? It's weird.
It's fixed! I had to delete HKCU>Control Panel>Sounds>Sound, restart, delete every ringtone that appeared in Start > Settings > Phone, change the ringtone directory in the registry, then restart. Now it shows all of the sound files in the root of my card. I'll have to remember this for the next time my ringtones mess up.

Here I have a good recommend for you: Tuneup360 and Norton system work, but the latter one is a little bit difficult. For the beginners, Tuneup360 is a good choice.
Hi All,
I have put all my ringtones from my Hd onto my HD2, in device/documents/ringtones. They are all mp3 and worked fine on hd.
I put on 6 but only one shows in the ringtone menu. Any ideas please?
Got my HD2 totay just playing with it
hi,
select your ringtone by using the file explorer (the one from HTC!) Select the mp3 and in the menu select "set as ringtone"
bye

Tried this. Start/file explorer/device/rinftones I select MP3, in Menu I only get
go to/refresh/show all files/sort by/new folder/rename/delete/edit?
Put them into device/windows/rings. Then you can Copy and paste it directly into the windows folder if you want them to show up under all other alert tones In sounds and notifications.
You can use your personal music files to be your rington.
1. First copy the files to the /My Documents/My Ringtones folder on the phone.
2. Then from the Home screen slide to the Settings tabs > Sound & display > Ringtone
3. Select the file you copied over, and then tap Done.
Alternatively, you can set any music file as your ringtone by navigating to your music using File Explorer and tapping and holding the music file and selecting Set As Ringtone.
I've found that putting them in the "My Documents" folder, and not a subfolder, works a treat. (It also means they get backed up with MyPhone.)
how can i set my songs in the music library as ringtones.... i cant see any option to do so.... and even in sound and display settings there is no option to set ur own song as a ringtone... can somebody tell me how to do this?
use file explorer
what you need to do is open up file explorer from your start-menu, browse the track that your after press and hold on it until the menu appears and select 'set as ringtone'

I dumped some new ringtones in my phone in the /storage/emulated/0/media/ringtones folder. I then chose one using ES file explorer after going to Settings>my device>sounds. Now, when I go to pick a system ringtone using "Media Storage" when the popup comes to "complete action using" it locks up and I get Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped. I know someone on here will know how to right this wrong I've created. Thanks.
you should put them on your sd card
Media - Audio - ringtones / notifications (2 sub folders)
I put them on my SD card now. I still get the same error/crash when I try to change my ringtone back to a system one using "Media Storage" when the popup comes up.
I just went back to a stock based ROM after trying out lineage OS. One of the things I miss the most is being able to browse the file system to choose a ringtone. Why does lineage OS allow me to use a file browsing app to pick a ringtone and stock does not?
The problem is that I have made a collection of sound bites. Each sound bites has three different edits depending on what the purpose is. I differentiated each edit by storing them in different folders. The file names are all the same. using an LG V20 and it just gives me a gigantic list of sound files. Cirtain file system apps allow you to do this however their functionality is limited. For example they Wouldn't let you set notification sound or ringtones for specific numbers.
actually you can select any ringtone you wanted from your file system. Only issue is u can't see the folder structure.
Go to Settings > Sound > SM1 ringtone > (or just ringtone in case if ur phone is single sim). there you will see the list of available ringtones. Yeah, u can't see ur files there. but on top right, there are 2 buttons for add and delete ringtones. When u click (+) button, it will list out all the audible files on your phone. select the file u want and set it as your ringtone.
