hi,
i just thought this may help other users of galaxy ace to add ringtones and notification tones..
i just created this folders to my sd card and audio files are shown automatically to the ringtones and notifiaction tones. i am just new to this phone and tried everything for a few days with no luck, no application needed to add your favorite songs, tones..hope this will also work for you...
SDCARD/ MEDIA/ AUDIO/ RINGTONES
and for the notifications...
SDCARD/ MEDIA/ AUDIO/ NOTIFICATIONS
It works.....no apps needed....just create folders...
thanks bro!
Just an addition to the first post...
You can create a third folder for the alarms, the same way:
SDCARD/ MEDIA/ AUDIO/ALARMS
Put in the audio files you want, and you will be able to select them when configuring an alarm!
thanks for the info, but guys i have a problem, I downloaded a custom ringtone but its volume is too low compared to the preset ringtone the handset comes with. I already maximized the volume for the notification in the settings menu, can anyone help me. thanks a lot and more power to the forums.

You can try using this program, MP3GAIN, to boost up your mp3's decibels.
http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/download.php
Or this app from Android Market..Volume+ (Sound Boost)
currently using this app for my boosted up mp3s using MP3GAIN. Results = LOUD
But works only on Gingerbread..

Can't work out how to thank you, OP (perhaps I'm too new) - but, thanks!
Helped me too, finally... Just had to balance out ringtone with notification volume.
Thanks to both OP and Chikanoz
or maybe you can just install yourself a zedge app/Go sms
ADVICE
BUT it's better if you convert mp3 to ogg....
i've noticed if i use mp3, the sound takes a few seconds
Hit thanks button if i helped you
Yes..you need to make them OGG files.They are recommended

Yeah, I think I got an idea. Use ES File Explorer (amazing app!) and tap on the favourites tab. Tap on "/" and then go to to /system. From there go to media (/system/media/) and then audio (/system/media/audio/). From there you should find some folders. Alarms, notifications, ringtones and ui.
Quick heads up, I'm just going off of the way I transfered a notification tone from my Acer Iconia Tab A500 to my Samsung Galaxy Ace, so no promises
And if all else fails, I have to second and say use Zedge
notifications

There is an easy way. Got to "My Files" from menu, select "create folder" name folder, "Notifications" Copy whatever music you want from your SDcard, called, "external_sd" and paste into "Notifications". Your music will appear in the notifications ringtones list in "Sounds". Just select it.
Thanks so much, this has been an absolute godsend, I can use a tone I can actually hear for my reminders!
Then, yesterday it suddenly decided to stop working The dfault on calendar alarms went to on screen notification and the sound file I'd added had gone. I connected USB and it's still there, but doesn't show up in the list of ringtones any more.
Any suggestions? I'd be so greatful, I'm going to miss all kinds of appointments now I'm sure
all they need now is a folder for playlists which i'll try to implement into my new geared series
How do ya apply ANY tone ya want for say your alarm, or ring tone etc, when i try it just gives me the default ones, or i can choose from zedge, how do ya make it allow ya to browse for a tone that ya put on your sdcard???
On your sd card find folder named media inside you should see a folder names audio open it you should three folders alarms notifications and ringtones place your audio files in the appropriate folder. If the folders aren't there create them. They will then appear in your choices.

There is an app called Rings Extended in the market... Using that you can use ANY tones for ring/alarm/message from your SD card... with no time/size restriction
Hi, is there any way how to add my own notification rigtones (not phone ringtones)? I would like to change existing notif. tones (too short and silent to me) for new ones (for ex. music etc.). Is it possible if I dont have rooted phone?
Samsung Galaxy SII
Thx for advice.
Yes you can also this has been covered many time in the past.
Make a folder on sdcard called Notifications. Insert appropriate audio files into folder. Select notification tone in normal way. I think Ringtones and Alarms works too, I'm not too sure. I find there is a delay when using custom tones in that fashion, so I just whack 'em in /system/media

Thank you, worked perfectly for me.
Today I changed the notification ringtone with "Ringtone Maker" app from Google Play.
Then I deleted the sound file from sd card.
In Settings / Sound as "default notifications" is now: Unknown ringtone.
When I receive a TEXT message I hear a different version of Over the horizon. It is a little different than the original one.
In /system/media/audio/ringotones I found S_Over_the_horizon.ogg - but it's not this one!
Also it's not Over the Horizon from: /sdcard/Samsung/Music/Over_the_horizon.mp3
So my question is: Where this "default notification sound" is located in?
they are in /system/media/audio/ringotones
Notifications ringtones are under system/media/audio/notificatios not ringtones
It's not there, as I said:
in /system/media/audio/ringotones I found S_Over_the_horizon.ogg - but it's not this one!

There is not Over the horizon in system/media/audio/notificatios
It must be somewhere else... I checked all .ogg and .mp3 files on the phone, and didn't find that version of Over the horizon...
How can I check the location of currently SMS ringtone?
Lol for a folder with ringtones/notifications on your sd card
nobody knows?
Have you looked for a folder related to ringtone maker?

I have looked everywhere.
This is not Ringtone Maker's sound. It's a default Samsung's ringtone. It sounds similar to: S_Over_the_horizon.ogg but with a little different tone.
It must be hidden somewhere. I think it's in SecSettings.apk, but I can't open resources.arsc file in it...
If anyone likes and wants the Note 3 sounds and ringtones download this zip and extract it and move the sounds to your system/media/audio or just put them on your Sd and browse to them when selecting a ringtone . You can probably find these elsewhere pretty easily but I figured I would pull them from my friends note 3 while I have it here and rooting it for him..Some of these ringtones you will already have but the one that I don't have are the ones I want . I don't like any of the S5 ring tones but there are a few of the Note 3 I like.
