Does anyone have a dump of motorola x (or similar) ringtones, that will work properly on the verizon fascinate?
you could look at this:

make 2 folders on your sd card and name them notifications and ringtones.
copy the sounds to the respective folders.
you could download a droid x rom and open the zip, the sounds will be in the /system/media/audio folder. copy what you want to the folders you made on your sd card

Is there a way to easily copy the notification sounds from one Rom to another?

Yes, use root explorer.
You can use root explorer, go to SYSTEM, MEDIA,AUDIO. There you will see all folders for notifications, ringtones, alarms, and ui.
You can long press on any folder or any file inside those folders, or select all and copy. Then go out to your sdcard or external sdcard and make a file with the same folder names and inner folder names (just copy the same format of how they are listed) and then paste them in the respective folders. Now no matter what rom your in they will always show up for use when your changing ringtones and all.
PS. You can ALSO long press in the MEDIA folder, choose copy, go to sdcard or external SD card, and paste. This will keep all them in there no matter what rom your on and show up whenever you are changing ringtones, etc. Then you can also add/start adding any mp3s into the folder and they will also show up.
If this helped hit the thanks button.

Hi,
I've had my Prime for a couple of weeks now - a great device, but one thing that is bugging me - I can't seem to copy music to the Music directory on the internal storage.
So far, the only mechanisms I've tried are copying music from the external SDHC card or the external Micro-SDHC card over to the internal memory - fail, or copy over the LAN using ES File Explorer directly - fail.
I have successfully copied movie files over to the internal storage, but the internal Music directory still has just the default files shipped with the tablet.
The one thing I haven't tried is copying directly from a PC over the USB cable, but I shouldn't really need to resort to this surely - it's not an Apple device after all!
Has anyone else had this experience? Am I missing something here? :-/
Regards,
Bruisah
[Replying to my own post - what poor etiquette! ]
Update: I can copy the default music out of the folder, and I can rename the folder, but I cannot write to the folder, nor delete it, nor delete the contents.
Workaround was to rename the folder ".music.orig" to make it 'hidden', create a new "Music" folder, copy the default music across (I haven't listened to it, so...), and copy my own music into the new Music folder...
Presumably, ASUS want to make sure the default music survives a hard reset...(?)
Still, irritating...
Regards,
Bruisah
if u use the asus file manager i can tell u itz bugged (not that badly), it corrupt my download and music folder before on separate occasions.
btw after factory reset the free music are gone.
Regarding Android Jelly Bean version and my Verizon S4 (sch-i545)...
I know that the native folder location for ringtones, alerts, and notifications is at /system/media/audio
But, where can I create a folder on the sdcard (or ext_sdcard) to add my own ringtones?
I've created and moved mp3's into the following folder structures, rebooted and still don't see them when I try to add new ringtones:
\sdcard\media\audio\ringtones
\sdcard\media\ringtones
\sdcard\ringtones
None of the 3 above folder structures work. Anyone have an idea or do I have to move mp3 files into the /system location?
The stock ringtones are in /system/media/audio/ringtones ... I've been putting my files there but you need root explorer
\mnt\extSdCard\Alarms
\mnt\extSdCard\Notifications
\mnt\extSdCard\Ringtones
Those are 3 folders that work off of the external SD Card. Obviously if you're just looking for a place for a ringtone and don't care about alarms or notifications then just disregard the first 2.
I prefer the external SD Card so that my custom sounds can be carried over between ROM installations without a backup.

So I discovered what you responded above at the same time.
My problem was that I kept looking at the extSdCard as an external SD card. Therefore I was trying everything at the \mnt\sdcard level
When I finally stumbled onto the fact that if I put the files in the respective folders on the folder structure you listed above, then it works.
Again, my confusion is that I thought everthing needed to be placed at the root of scard.
Seems weird to me but I think the S4 looks at the external SD card as "sd card"

I think that TW on the S4 does something funky with what it calls sdcard where it's actually an emulated partition rather than a true file path like on other phones or variations of Android. Whenever you pull up default storage locations of app data and the like, it always shows up as something like: /storage/emulated/0...
For me, extSdCard is definitely my 64GB SD card that I put in myself. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can take it from here. This is my first Android phone from Samsung, and by extension my first experience with TW.
I noticed the same thing (storage/emulated/0/ ) confused the crap out of me at first. I would download files and had no idea where they ended up.

Yeah, I've been trying to research the SDcard vs. ExtSDcard differences. It seems to me like it's different from what I remember. I'd also appreciate any insight anyone has on this. I totally am not (yet) getting the emulated partition. When I go hunt for stuff, I use root explorer to go to \mnt\sdcard and don't start with the emulated partition. There doesn't seem to be much explanation out there so far as I can tell.
On my new M8 I put the SD card I used in my galaxy s4 in and it doesn't seem to like several of the folders. The new phone will recognize some files but on other files it has a dot and then a number at the end and it won't show me the contents or allow those files to be accessible. So the mp3's better in those files don't show up in the player. This seems really strange to me that it doesn't read files that are just fine on the card. Can someone help me please.
by the way I had to download an manager in order to even see the files and folders on the phone, is there no folder navigation option built-in to this phone?
copy off sdcard to computer and format the sdcard and create new folders, why would it seem strange samsung uses a different file structure than htc....

there is no built in file explorer, you can download es or root explorer but they may not be able to write to the sd card without root (i'm not sure as my phone is rooted...)
Thanks guys. I followed your recommendation and copied what I needed. Reformatted. Then added files. Seems good now.
I recently got a refurbished A50 and happy for most part despite few design issues I have with the GUI.
But the one problem that is an issue is that I am not able to rename any images in gallery. I can rename them in file manager but that is a real pain.
I tried several different galleries and the same happens in all of them.
The error is:
An error occurred: java.lang.NullPointerException:authority
Any ideas on why and how to fix?
Thanks much.
In another forum was suggested that since images on SD card I need to set permissions to rename on that card. But no indication how to go about that.
The typical permissions settings for the gallery apps already say they have all storage permissions and I see nothing specific to location such as internal vs sdcard?
Is there some other place to grant read/write permissions to rename files on SD Card? One would think that if Gallery could not alter names it also could not move images or even create new folders on the SD Card?
