I was using the phone and saw that there was only an option for ringtone media and alarm. On other phones I own I have the option for separate ringtone and notification. Is there a way to get this.
How would it be if everyone system / media folder uploads. Of course only those who want it .
Same goes to me. Even i put my own alarm with OGG format in system/media/audio/alarm, i set permission and reboot. It also didn't show in alarm ringtone list

I cant seem to figure out how to add a sound to the list of sounds that I can select for an alarm. Its easy ot do with ringtones, just click/hold on the file and then click set as ringtone, but to change the alarm sound, the only way I can figure out to do it is by clicking the little bell above the alarm time and selecting something from the dropdown. I've tried putting files all over the place to get them to show up in the dropdown, and none do. Anyone have any insight into this?
the alarm sounds are located in the windows folder, they have to be wav files.
are there any sort of bitrate specifications, or will just any bitrate work?
I'd like to have an mp3 as my morning wake up call instead of the default alarm tones. Is it a massive issue to do this? I can't seem to find an easy way to do it. I'm assuming i'm gonna have to edit the length of the file, convert it and then save it to the /windows/rings folder?
Does this sound right?
The easy way is "Klaxon", an amazing freeware application to manage alarms with mp3 song.
Another applications is G-Alarm but I have read about some problem with HD2 and is not freeware.
In my HD2 now I use Klaxon and I like it very much.

in file manager save the mp3 as a ringtone,should show up in alarms then too (although I haven't tried)
Saving as a ringtone will not add it to the alarms list, I've tried it. I used mp3splitter to chop an mp3 up, then converted it to a wav on my PC (sorry can't remember the name of the freeware that does this, something obvious like mp3towav anyways). Once converted drop the wav into the Windows folder, it will now show up in the alarm tones list (note there is a filesize restriction, I have a file just over 4MB in size, however when I tried a longer tone that came to 8MB it didn't show).
Klaxon sounds like an easier alternative to all that though!
RE: Klaxon - does it replace the inbuilt alarms UI? By that I mean when you press the alarms button on the homescreen, does it take you to Klaxon? Can you post a link to the version of Klaxon you are using on your HD2? Thanks!
Put 'em into the root directory of the MicroSD
I have an MP3 ringtone for calls and another one for reminders... worked straight out of the box without any messing around - from the Settings tab to "Sounds & Display" to "Notification sounds".
On mine, it's able to automatically access anything that's in the root directory of the Storage Card.
Is it possible to have the alarm on continuous ring? On default the alarm rings once, stops for 10-15 seconds then rings again.
Hi,
Managed to set MP3 as ringtones using two different methods:
1. Via music player, long press and then 'Set As'
2. Using applications, called shartones and another one called ringtone.
Immediately after I create/save the ringtone I can see it is the list and I can choose it.
I used shartones application, edited an MP3 20 sec, saved as ringtone.
The ringtone was added to the list OK, the file WAS created in \sdcard\media\audio\ringtones\ and the file is still there after the restart, but doesn't appear in the ringtones list anymore...
When i add or move files into this directory it is useless and I can't see them on the list.
As if when I add a ringtone it is added to the database but entries are deleted when the phone starts up again...
After I turn off the phone and on again, all the ringtones are gone and none is in the list, the ringtone which is set is a default one from the original ringtones.
Does anyone have any clue for me where to look for a solution or find what goes wrong?
Thanks,
Ofer
I've set custom ringtones, notifications and alarms via settings and at least twice the SGS has lost or scrambled them (I'm not sure if it's related to me playing around with alternate launchers).
Anyway, I remember the exact same thing happening on my Nexus One and Eclair, so I think this is a basic Eclair bug rather than SGS specific.
I'm not sure how to replicate the issue, but it definitely can happen.
Hi,
did uninstall the launcherPro and restarted, I just go through same scenario again and again after each restart...
The files are piled in the ringtones directory but none appears in the ringtones list after restart.
Is there an editor that I can change file attribute, E.g. 'ringtone=Y'? (assuming there is such attribute to be set for a file?! )
Then maybe it will be picked properly to the list.
Guys any idea?
Help please.

Hello there..i'm using GingerDX V005 right now..i cant set any of my mp3 songs as my notification for messenging..there are only a default notification tones in the setting...anyone of u knows how to set any mp3 songs as our notification tones without using any 3rd party software such as GO sms and etc. TQ..GOD BLESS all of u..
same Q from me
edit : sorry add by mistake
Put file in SD/notifications/
If it still doesn't appear in the sound chooser (??? ) you'll have to convert it in the format the other sounds are. I think it's ogg. Good luck.
put your mp3 file to /sdcard/notifications --> for notifications
put your mp3 file to /sdcard/ringtones --> for ringtones
You can set is as ringtone in mp3 player...
for the ringtone u can choose from media player, but i cant change the notification, altough the mp3 file was placed in notification directory
*sory 4 bad english
Copy sound:
1. For ringtones to /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
2. For alarms to /sdcard/media/audio/alarms
3. For notifications to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Sound for notification must be in .ogg or .m4a format not in .mp3
I've put my desired mp3 ringtone to /system/media/audio/ringtones
This way it won't get back to a default ringtone when your memory card is detached (at file transfers from PC to phone, or at reboot)
If you want to give an mp3 as notification sound then put it to /system/media/audio/notifications.
BTW you need to reboot after this, and then your mp3's name will apear on the default list at selecting ringtone/notifications, so you just have to select it there.
Hope it helps
Craziest thing I have ever seen. In the name of developing upon the Android platform Vivo has removed the customisable notifications and ringtones. Each time the phone switches on, you have to rework all the customizations from the beginning.
Any ringtones you want to select from your personal files can only be selected from the SD card and gets erased every time the phone goes off.
I tried accessing multiple system files including downloads, music, record, others but was not able to add any ringtone files to the system default ringtone files.
Anyone here who has any ideas or success with these efforts?
Customize ringtone problem solved
Just change the ringtone formate to .ogg.
I worked for me. Put the ringtone in internal memory of ur mobile not in SD card.
And if you want to add those to ur default ringtone list then follow below steps-
1. Make a folder in your internal memory of ur mobile and name it media
2. Inside it make a folder and name it audio
3. Inside audio make 2 folders name them notifications & ringtones.
4. Put the converted .ogg files in ringtone if u want it it default ringtone list or in notifications if you want it in notification list.
That's it now all those ringtones can be selected in default list.
