Anybody figured out how to do this? I can add my own ringtones easy enough but don't see an easy way for my own notification sounds, I can't even find were the originals are stored!
just drop the notification sounds you want into /sdcard/Notifications. You can also drop custom alarm sounds into /sdcard/Alarms and ringtones into /sdcard/Ringtones.
Install zedge

Ok, haven't got my sdcard yet, its on order, will try that then.
But I have the sounds that I want on my phone, I just can't get them into the list of notification sounds listed
Even if you haven't gotten your microsd card, you'll still have an /sdcard folder. It's the root of your internal storage.
Used Zedge download onto my Macbook, took a Scan of the QR Image with my S7 E and downloaded the ringtones I wanted. Worked great on everything except Textra, which is the messaging app I use

Ok, well file/folder viewer supplied dosent show at that level, installed 3rd party one which did, but was unable to write to that directory
Ah, getting there…. Zedge gets new ones added to the internal list, so that's something

So what I just did as I was trying to figure this out. I added a song by opening up my files finding the song I'd already had on the phone. I clicked and held for 10 seconds a checked box appears you got song selected, then upper co rner I clicked more, clicked copy, and it opened a "Copy To screen" and three options I had device storage, sad card, notifications which I clicked then clicked done and song was there

How did you manage to move the files? I've run into the same problem as yourself, 3rd party file explorer couldn't write to the directory......
Same issue with s7. Created file. It's my files>sd card>ringtones. Still only tones phone came with. Under ringtones I have add from device storage as an option, but not for any others. Pls help.
Zedge worked for me, Awesome. Thanks.

Hello,
there is a small bug that many users may not have noticed in EC05. When I want to set a custom ringtone for a contact with a custom sound, it force closes and says android.acore.process is not responding.
Can someone fix this?
Thanks
The way to replicate this bug is to go on contacts, select a contact, edit contact, set a custom ringtone, and press sound. It will force close.
Sounds like you got some bad data...
mine works perfect...
No crash for me. Do you have the MyFiles app removed?

i have that removed and mine has always had that removed and mine always has worked
i think he needs to wipe the contacts data...
Goto: Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Contacts/Clear Data..
As long as you have them synced with google you shouldnt have to worry about if they get deleted...
Edit:
Just saw how to replicate it, and yes it does fc, a simple way to avoid this is too not click sounds and click ringtones instead...

Does the FC error happen with your mp3 sound files or all of your sound files. I personally use .ogg sound files and I have zero issues. I was having FC issues with some mp3 files especially if they are larger mp3 files.

It doesnt have to do with the sound files it has to do with the option sounds in contact custom ringtone, it force closes, like i said if u dont push it and push ringtones instead u are set for what ever files u please..
Sounds like you deleted drm files
Sent from Snarf high on SRF 1.02 till freezes are fixed
Try recreating my scenario and tell me what you discover.

I just copied a mp3 file into my media/audio/ringtone and I played it with my settings/sounds/Voice call ringtone and I always get this error message [Activity Android System (in process Settings) is not responding] it will play the music but afterward you can not play another file after it, instead your phone will temporary lock up and then the following error message will appear [Activity Android System (in process Settings) is not responding]. I can not afford for my phone to lock up because during a phone call because I use my phone to help me pay my bill and not as a toy. If my phone locks up my client will us call the next person in line.
P.S. Are you trying this or are you going by what android should do?
I am using the Midnight Rom 5.2 Standard Edition and my DRM files are frozen with Titanium Backup.
I just unfroze the DRM and I still get the same error message. All I my ogg files work perfectly find only that one mp3 file freezes my phone why is that?

if i select an mp3 file and try to preview it, it workks fine no force close...
Please try select a file after your MP file.

I can do that now try selecting another file after that file and see what happens. All I am trying to do is get to the truth of the matter. Is this problem with just my phone or other phones too. I want my phone to play the MP3 ring tone and then afterward do something else. Not have my phone play the ring tone and then lock up afterward.
My phone plays mp3's as ring tones but, it locks up afterward making the notification useless because when my phone does unfreeze the phone stops ring tone and I can not receive the phone call.
I want to play mp3 files as ring tones but having my phone perform at it's optimal level is more important to me than a cute ring tone especially if I can convert the mp3 file into a smaller ogg file anyways. I just lose the sound quality put gain a phone that is 100% reliable.
If this is a problem maybe the developers can fix it and make it more stable.
Hello all i have had this problem twice now and each time it has happened i have had to reflash the ROM (NSCollab 1.0.39) to get them to work again
The problem is i have a custom ringtone and notification and at first they work with NP but after about 2 to 3 weeks they just stop working and disappear from the ringtone and notification list at first i thought maybe it was something i installed that made them stop working so i reflashed NSCollab 1.0.39 and just left it and diden't install anything and it still did the same thing
now i know the rongtones and notifications should be in the media/audio/ringtones and media/audio/notifications folders and i haven't changed thoes folders and the files in then in anyway they just stop working after a bit is there any way to fix this problem
Oh ya forgot to add this has happened on Buglesspete's ROM too

Are the files still there?
I've been experiencing similar problems; stock notification tones keep sounding off, but the custom notification tones are still checked on the list. Custom ringtones are working as they should. I'm running oxygen 2.2.2

Hmm, that's really weird. Have you tried using a 3rd party program to set the ringtone? It's a stretch but worth a shot.

Hey y'all,
As the title says, I have set a custom MP3 as a notification tone to receive when I get text messages, but, for some reason, this gets lost every-so-often. The MP3 file is just one second long (MGS alert tone, if anyone is interested) and on previous phones has been the text alert of choice.
However, I can't see a pattern here, but every few days or so I will get a text that does not have a tone, then in settings it tells me I have an 'Unknown Ringtone' and I have to reset it again. I have used file commander to set the tone.
Any ideas?
Cheers
For me, it was the fact that my ringtones were on the sd card. Once I moved them to the internal, it stopped. (Or rather, it hasnt happened to it again since)

Thanks, I will give that a try now. I do save my ringtones on the SD card for when I change phone, so could well be that!

Well, good news! That seems to have done the trick... a week later and I still have a text tone
Yay and stuff
Hey guys. Quick question. I can easily download a ringtone and the download will show itself under ringtones therefore i can select it as my tone! However i cannot do the same for notification tones? Why? I can download them of course but theres no way to choose that download as a tone! Seems a little odd given that it can be done for ringtones! Anyone else experiencing this?
Same here. Perhaps I'm missing something. Anyone have any insight to the situation?
Move the file to the notifications folder in storage.
