Hi, I am new to this and I got my Telus HTC Hero on April 6th, 2010 and I rooted and I am using MoDaCo Custom Rom 3.2 Core (this is from my phone info so I know it worked) and I was trying to make a song in .mp3 format into a ringtone and it wont do it. I asked my friend using a Dream unrooted and he said all you have to do is press on hold on the song til a menu pops up and select set as ringtone. This doesnt work so I was wondering if there is another way or if it is possible at all.
Thanks for any assistance.
Download an app called Tone Picker.
best app for making custom ringtones has gotta be ringdroid from the market. its groovy and free. u can cut any audio file u have that plays on ur phone. or vreate ur own ringtone (record one)

Thanks guys for the help, but I am still curious to why I am unable to do it as am option without any apps.
custom ringtone and alarm
Sure you can.
* Connect the phone to your computer via the USB cable
* Open the Notifications screen on your phone (pull down a finger from the top of the screen to the bottom) and select the USB Storage notification
* Choose “Mount”
* Browse to the SD Card on your PC
* Look for a folder called media, if it’s not there, create it by right clicking and choosing New Folder, then rename the folder to be media
* Inside the media folder, you need a folder called audio, again, if it’s not there create it as above
* Inside the audio folder, you can create a subfolder for the sound category you want to change-
o ringtones – for sound files you want to use as ringtones
o alarms – for sound files you want to use for any alarms
o notifications – for incoming notifications such as SMS alerts, emails, etc
* Copy the sound or music file which you’d like to use as your ringtone in to the relevant folder
* You should now see your sound or music file listed in the menu for selection in the relevant sound settings menu (to access the ringtone/notification settings, press the hard Menu key from one of your home screens, then press Settings then Sounds and Display)

I want to change the message notification to the "droid" sound and alrerady have it d/l to my phone. Is there a way to enable it using the stock messaging app?
Redownload the sound from the Zedge application (They have every sound you can imagine, they'll have yours) go into messages, click the menu button, scroll down to "select ringtones" and select Zedge. Click the tone you downloaded and you're set.
Alternatively you could use something like Root Explorer and move the file to your system>media>audio>notification folder. I ripped the entire audio folder from one the other Vibrant roms and moved it over using this method.
Is there a way to change the default sound to something other then the pre-loaded HTC sounds? I was able to change the phone ringtone to a song on my sd card. When going to settings, phone ringtone there is a new ringtone button which let me choose whatever I want but when I go to the default sounds I do not have that option. The only option I get is, get more, which takes me to the HTC hub. I tried ringdroid and made a ringtone but it don't show up. I also installed tone picker but it doesn't show up either. Another strange thing is, I am using handcent and have a mp3 selected within handcent but when I get a text it uses the default notification instead. Anyone else having this problem?
I had similar issues. I used HTC Hub to download a new ringtone package, and found out that it just over writes everything I may have had selected.
I've had to go in and redo my ringtone and message notifications a few times, mostly after I hook it up and enable SD storage on the computer.
If I have someone call or send a text message while its hooked up as storage, it changes EVERYTHING back on mine to the stock sound settings.
Ok what i did with mine was use astro file manager to take whatever mp3s i wanted for notifications and copied and pasted them into my notifications folder which will be located in your media folder,open astro click sd card then click media then audio then notifications and paste whatever you want to hear for notifications sounds in there then when you go to your list they should show up and work like a charm.
I think I did that with a file manager and it still didn't show under Notification sounds. You need to hit set as once the desired file is highlighted and set it as a notification that way.
Use Zedge. Its a free app and you can select it as default instead of using system. Works wonders!

Menu --> Personalize --> Notification Sound
This is where you can change the default notification sound as well as the sound for the email app, the messaging app, and the calendar.
This took me awhile to figure out. A new feature of Sense 3.0. Possibly introduced in Sense 2.1. Not sure. But different than the EVO either way...

how to set mp3 or ogg files as text message notification?
my mob is rooted on latest stock fw, i did put my ogg file in system/media with root explorer with permisions set correct but stock tones only work after selecting my new tone. new one will not play?
any apps to bypass this..
basicly i have a r2d2 soundboard app from the market that lets me select ringtone/notifications. battery low tone works and sounds wiked buts texts dont. so i tried to manualy move the .ogg to the system notifications folder and set permisions, but like i said.. it wont play. stock tone replaces it.
i want R2D2 becuase it fits with my droid. nuff said
How about Settings > sound > Notification ringtone? I'm using CM7 so im not sure if that applies for u, havent used stock rom for ages.
I use GO sms so it comes with a sound choser, I can select any of my sound files that are available in the phone/sd card using it.
P.S. There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. xD (quote from southpark)
yes i have Settings > sound > Notification ringtone. but after selecting R2D2, it will will be a stock tone when a text comes thru. i didnt want any apps as i thought i could do it with root explorer.
No need for any app buddy.
make folder in your sd card like media/audio
And for custom notifications, make a folder inside audio called notifications and for ringtones,make one called ringtones.
so it will look like media/audio/ringtones or notifications.
Hope that helps..!!
Yup, as side_effect said. But for some reason notifications are played quieter than tones, so if you have a program like Audacity on your desktop you should increase the volume of the track before you put it on your SD Card.
Its a stupid question! But, how I can change the ringtone in MINICM9?
1. settings
2. sound
3. phone ringtone
Sorry! Double Post.
Ans how can I use my own MP3's?
download a ringtonepicker from the market, standard android doesn't let you choose own mp3's, but with a third-party ringtonepicker it will work.
go to music and long press song or mp3 and set as ringtone. depends on how you access those mp but usually does the trick
Create the folder
sdcard/ringtones for your call ring tones,
sdcard/notifications for your message notifications,
sdcard/alarms for the alarm tones.
Any mp3 you put in these folders will show up in the list for selecting the tones
Ok thanks!
Hello how can I extend the sounds offer of builtin sound selector by own sounds?
For ringtones copying to /sdcard/ringtones or /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones is working pretty fine, but for SMSs and various notifications the offer is still limited to builtin sounds only. Don't know where should I copy my own sounds so they could be covered in that file listing,
Both /system/media/audio/notifications and /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications don't make any recognition (
As an alternative to this I'd accept an 3rd party audio picker able to browse any sdcard locations and select any of supported formats. The condition however is so that it could play a sound immediately after selecting just like builtin picker does...THX
Go settings sound and puck notification ringtone when its open nitification sounds just press a little icon in upper right corner
