Hello everybody,
This is my first guide and i didn't see any other thread for changing it.
U need root
Here we go:
1) u need a .ogg sound-file
2) rename it in a already existing notification-sound (like tinkle.ogg)
3) copy this file into /system/media/audio/notifications
4) go to settings/sound&display/notification and check your changed sound (like tinkle)
5) done

Err... you could easily change it to other ones by installing handcent SMS without rooting.
Yes but there are people who are NOT using handcent-sms and i just wanted to say that it's possible without any app...
And hancent sms can't change the alarm clock sound....

Try Zedge application on the market, you can change any sms or call notification

I've found just creating folders on the sd and putting files in are enough, my alarm is an mp3 named Airraid, and my other two are also mp3s with their original names.

jus use ringdroid to edit the song.. then save as ring tone or notification... so easy
Im using zedge, and its a little slow, but will change your tones. Also folders in the SD called ringtone notification and alarm will pick up in the sounds and display menus
I use Kiss ringtones. New on market and Absolutely great and easy

Nah...
Just convert your music to M4A then put them in sdcard/media/audio/notications.
No need for root.

Ok, found a way. Use Astro to browse the files in the "Litening Wallpaper" .apk file. You can than copy the wallpaper file you want onto your SD card. It should appear in your gallery, like every other picture.

I just downloaded the apk and put it on my SD card.
I want to be able to use certain mp3s as ringtones but I don't see a way to get the system to use them. Under Windows Mobile, it was no problem.
Where do I need to put those mp3s and other sound files I want to use and what program should I use?
Go grab RingDroid, it's free and in the market. Make your ringtones right on your phone.
Oh yeah, if you want it on the phone, you can move it to /system/media/audio/ringtones/ but you need to have root access to put it there. File format must be supported for it to work.
Ringdroid is your best bet

For starters swear again and you'll be reported. As the other user said. If the op can source the system sounds he wants, he will have no trouble using them on his HOX+. It's easy to relate a particular sound with a system operation. Just delete/backup original and remame the new one......

I don't want you guys to fight lol.
I just need help to do so. However i dont think there are any File/directories to be renamed in the first place since there are no sounds!

You can use root explorer or Androzip pro to access any file or replace practically any file. But be cautious..

However I downloaded an app called "Galaxy S4 For All" from the play store that contains all the audio files. However, i can't find them in the root of my device so i cant copy the files. Any suggestions on how to find the audio files?
Basically what i mean is that i want to view the content of the Apk file. How?
Edit: I figured it out. I changed the apk file to .zip and everything worked out!
Just one thing left, i currently have MultiLing keyboard installed. Can i change the Keypress sounds of this keyboard?

How do I change the notification sound for SMS in my Rezound? I have a short mp3 file I transferred to the SD card, I then tried to copy and paste that file into the notifications folder onboard the Rezound, but it said something about something being read-only, so it didn't let me paste.
I'm on stock ICS, non-rooted.
Does anyone know how I can get my mp3 sample into the Rezound for the SMS notification sound?

Have you tried this:
To use custom ringtones for your phone ringtone, your alarm or your text message notification, simply copy an MP3 file to one of the following folders: /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones /sdcard/media/audio/alarms /sdcard/media/audio/notifications If they don't already exist, then create a new folder. The file will then show up when you want to change your ringtones. For Ringtones go to Settings - Sound - Phone ringtone For Text Messages go to - Settings - Sound - Notification ringtone For Alarm, set the sound when you add a new alarm - See more at:

maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I tried to finding that folder in ES file explorer and couldn't find it. It shows sdcard and sdcard2. in sdcard, the link to notifications is sdcard/notifications or sdcard/media/audio/notification. However, in the audio folder inside sdcard, there is only a notifications folder, no ringtones or alarms folder. When I pasted the sound to the notifications folders, I still couldn't find my custom sound when trying to change the notification sound in the SMS options.
The method I tried in the OP, was in a folder not in the sdcard or sdcard2, but inside a folder in the onboard phone folders (system/media/audio/notifications), or whatever is the root of the sdcard and sdcard2 folders.

I placed the mp3 file in both directories under sdcard and sdcard2 and it still doesn't show up in the list of sounds for notifications. I think I tried creating the folder in sdcard2, but I think it was already present in sdcard. I notice that those default notification sounds are not located in the sdcard or sdcard folders but rather are in the root folder of both sdcard and sdcard2 under the folder "system".
The directory is /system/media/audio/notifications. I tried placing the mp3 file there using ES explorer, but it doesn't let me paste there as it gives me an error about it being read-only. I don't know how to change that read-only option.
Picture of the error:
You get that error because you don't have root permissions....what version of stock ROM are you using....I'll flash it myself and figure it out for you....if you root and flash custom ROM you wouldn't have to worry about the hassle...also if you root don't use es explorer....use ROM toolbox but keep in mind it requires you have root

I already had a Notifications folder in the sdcard folder with the mp3 file in it so I just made one for sdcard2. After doing that I went to try to change the notifications sound in the sms options and it appeared in the list. But then I tried to delete the sdcard2 folder to try to see if I can diagnose the problem such as whether the sdcard folder was enough or if I needed the sdcard2 folder as well and after that I couldn't get it to show up in the list of sounds anymore. I recreated the folder in sdcard2 with the mp3, but it won't show up in sound list anymore. I don't know what happened. I shut down and restarted the phone after deleting the folder in sdcard2 as well as recreating the folder and it still doesn't work anymore.

I couldn't find an option to set text tone in the sound settings. All I found was a notifications tone setting, but couldn't find my mp3 file in the list there.
After doing it at first, it worked. So then I deleted the folders and eventually tried creating again and it didn't work. I then tried shutting off and restarting and it didn't work as well.

I must be doing something wrong then. I opened up the internal storage on my phone from my computer, created the folder ringtones, put the tones in it, rebooted the phone and still nothing. Am just about to give up.
Should look like this...if not right folder structure it will not read it....if they are a format the phone doesnt play then may not show as well...I use .mp3/ogg as my ringtones and no issues seeing them in ringtones selection. An after thought, custom ringtones for contacts or phone calls...not sure if same applies I would assume it would let you select if for contacts the same as for phone calls

I just tried with MP3 files and no luck. I went into settings/phone/sound/ringtone and the only ringtones there are the stock ones. Not sure what the deal is.
At a loss on this one as it works on all my phones the way I outlined it.....sorry

It shouldn't matter what rom I am running should it?
Create a folder on your internal storage or SD card called "media". Inside that folder make a folder called "audio". Without quotes obviously lol. Inside that folder make a folder called "ringtones". Put all of your custom ringtones in there. I have mine in MP3 format and it all works fine.
You can also make folders named "notifications" and "alarms" inside the audio folder and add custom sounds to those as well. It's all picked up by my phone as soon as I add them.
I've been using this method since FroYo and it never fails. Also, I believe you can skip the "audio" folder step and put the ringtones folder directly into the media folder and it should work just the same.
Also, I would make the "r" in "ringtones" lowercase just in case...you never know when OSes will begin getting picky lmao.
Good luck.
It actually could matter...if the dev changed a line in aac it would have the issue your describing. I know this because when I was messing around with the build I use I changed that and couldnt get my ringtones to show just dawned on me about it

If on a custom rom ...look at this file...system\customize\ACC\default.xml
if it says this:
<item type="boolean" name="support_music_ringtone">true</item>
change it to:
<item type="boolean" name="support_music_ringtone">false</item>
and reboot
