Hi,
i'm currently trying to change my ringtone, but unfortunately neither "Rings Extended" nor "ES File Explorer" are popping up when opening the ringtone-settings.
I've tried to reset the default-app, but it doesn't change anything.
When launching Rings Extended directly it states:
... (If Rings Extended is not available as an option when selection sounds there, I am sorry, but your device is broken so the application can't be launched. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this; it needs to be fixed in the software of the device itself. ...

Any ideas what I can do to select custom ringtones?
PS. I'm rooted and therefore locked to 4.5.0. Is this maybe already solved in 4.5.1?
Yes, no selectable (own) ringtones... Same here.
I'm on 4.5.1 so maybe it's different but I just went to settings, ringtone, and set a local ringtone. I downloaded an MP3 of a ringtone I wanted and it was there waiting to be selected

Which folder did you save the file in?
Edit: Nevermind, found a workaround: Open File with ES Explorer and then played it with its ES Media Player. In its Menu (3 dots upper right) is an Option: Set as Ringtone

Great! Didn't think that this could be the menu for selecting a ringtone.

Great,
For reference I saved it in the ringtones folder but any location works I believe as it was also asking me about WhatsApp audio files?!

Hello,
Where are the ringtones located on HD2?
I found some in Windows/rings and try to add custom ringtones (wma) to it but there are not showing in HTC ringtones setup menu.
Any idea?
Think you need to use .wave format and just copy the tone to the /Windows: Library. That will work.
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.
You can use a number of sound files that you downloaded from the Internet or copied from your computer, including *.wav, *.mid, *.mp3, and *.wma.

Convert your tone to .wave format and put it in the Windows library. It will work. I have done it plenty of times
** Try to use .wma format to, think it will work fine.

It's funny how even the simplest phones nowadays don't have any problems at all using mp3-files as sound-notifications, but a beast like HD2 can't support this

yes but we're livin' a WM world
(plus they have their own audio format, others don't. it's why they go to mp3 I guess)
It supports it

I used both ways and they both work fine for me. I dont use the WAV file anymore because the MP3 way is just easier for me as i use the MP3 trimmer to make my ringtones
If you go into the application data folder on the device, there's a folder named "sounds" put the mp3 sms in there and you'll be able to select them for sms notifications.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
it Worked
For the life of me I can't figure this out. I have an mp3 and I see nowhere on it to set it as the ringtone, and I see nowhere on the ringtone menu to use a custom tone.
Yeah, just went through that myself. Not sure if it's a bug, or what, but I found a workaround. Check my other post on this in the development.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8149050&postcount=19
EDIT: Oh wait, that fix is for setting a custom ringtone for one specific contact. If you just want to set your default system ringtone, that's under Settings > Sound & display > Phone ringtone. In order for your mp3 to show up in the selection of ringtones, you will need to created a folder called ringtones on your sdcard and put the mp3 in there.
great! thanks
Or you use the app called Ringdroid , lets you edit mp3 into ringtones and its free.

I know this may seem like a noob question, but I can't manage to set up my ringtones I have downloaded from Zedge as default ringtone. I try to use the default android music selector, but I can't find it as one of the options. I probably have to push the music file somewhere but I don't know the directory.
I tried the Zedge music selector, but whenever i click on a song there, it doesn't play anything. My media volume is set to max.
I tried to use file explorer and go to my Zedge ringtone directory and long press the music file, but it doesn't give me the option to "set music as".
help?
I'm running Gingervillain 1.5, and
adb remount
adb push song.mp3 system/media/audio doesn't work
You can put whatever mp3s you want in a "/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones" directory. Notifications go in a "notifications" directory within the audio folder and alarms in an "alarms" directory.
Open your music player choose your music then press ringtone, or download ringdroid on the market..

And there was me thinking that you should create a folder on the SD card called "Notifications" and stuff all your favourite tones and rings in there..
If you go to Settings -> Personalize -> Ringtones and "Get More" you will be directed to the above "Notifications" folder should it exist...
Sure I read that on the HTC site...
Des. . .
Can anybody help me? It seems impossible for me to set an mp3 as ringtone. No matter if I convert it to "ogg" or not. I put the file to "system>media >audio>ringtones, which should be the right path, I guess. I'm also able to choose that file but after rebooting it's gone. What do I do wrong?
Greets
Update: I just converted another mp3 to ogg and placed it in the right place. Now it even isn't shown when I try to chose it as ringtone. What could be the reason?
Anybody else facing those issues?

use ringdroid and you're done!
There are 2 ways:
1) Connect to phone to system and paste the mp3 in ringtones folder (internal memory).
2) Easier way: Download ES file explorer and navigate to the mp3 and play it in the app only. there you can see the option to set it as ringtone. Many music players also have this functionality but i only know about dbpoweramp.

I'm tired of the ZTE sound picker, which apparently doesn't let me use my good old notification sounds.
Is there a way to flash a sound picker, like from CM or AOSP? I've seen people do it with the phone/dialer app…

For the A2017U at least, "good old notification sounds" are reusable. On the Setup: Sounds & vibration page, under "Ringtones" look under the MUSIC tab (not RINGTONES tab as expected) for the .ogg or .mp3 file you placed in Ringtones or Notifications folder on your sdCard

Same here and can't explain your issue:
1. Place desired ringtone in "Ringtones" folder on internal sdCard (I used WhistlingWiazrd.ogg)
2. Reboot
3. Navigate to Settings:Sounds & Vibrations
4. On Ringtones page, under Ringtones heading click on your Carrier (I only have one as SIM2 is empty , although it does show SIM2)
5.Look under the three Tabs (Ringtones, Music, recordings) at topof page for your tone - mine was under Music
6.Select your ringtone
7. Reboot.
Do the same for Notification tone
Goodluck

I followed your instructions exactly, with both ogg and mp3 files. They don't appear.

For the heck of it, try one more thing.
From the PlayStore, download and run: Rescan SD Media Card by Radefffactory.
I have used this on several devices. It scans and registers new files that are not picked up by the system for some reason. Also good when trying to copy files via MTP that are on the sdCard but cannot be seen by the computer.
Goodluck!

Thanks — Rescan SD Media Card didn't work either, but I was finally able to find a complicated workaround: An app called Ringdroid from the Play Store lets you re-save any sound files on the device as notifications, alarms, ringtones or music. What's really weird is that different apps did or didn't see the same file: For Whatsapp I had to save the file as music, but Telegram sees it if I save it as a notification. Something is very strange on my phone.
