Hi,
I just installed the custom rom MiniCM7-2.1.4.
When I want to change my ringtone I can only choose from a few that are basic.
In the first version (MiniCM7-2.1.1) I could browse in my folders to search for ringtone.
But I can't choose my own one that I have on my SD card.
I was able to in MiniCM7-2.1.1 but not with the new version.
How am I able to use my custom ringstones?
The steps I take are: Settings > Sound.
And in there I change my ringtone for incoming calls and text messages.
Thanks in advance.

I'll tell you what I did, it worked. Take any ring tone you want and copy it in phone/ system/ media/ ring tones. I used root explorer to paste it. If you had short space just delete rings you never use. I hope it also works for you

Sorry I realised I missed folder. The right path is to copy the ring tone you like from sd card using root explorer and paste it to phone/ system/ media/ audio/ ring tones. After that you can go to settings and voila your new ring is there to select it. Hope it works.
If you like, you can also prepare a ROM with more ringtones before installing it. Just unzip, add the ringtones you like to /system/media/audio/ringtones and zip again.
You can grab ringtones from any ROM zips just by unzipping and looking in the mentioned folder.
Here's a link to a post with stock ROMs in case you want some of the S-E original ringtones (or alarms, notifications etc that are other sub folders to audio):

I installed the root explorer on my mobile.
But when I try to paste it in there (/system/media/audio/ringtones).
I get a Warning: "Warning: You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only).
I can only press "OK".
And so can't paste it easly in there how can I be able to make it write able?
Thanks in advance

I rather not remake the .zip file and keep flashing it when I only want a new ringtone.
It should be easyer.
Still though thanks for your response
There's an option in Root Explorer to mount the file system R/W.

Wow quick response I love it!
Thanks again now I'm able to copy my music in there.
Although I see there are only .ogg files in it and it can't read .mp3 files.
Is there a easy way to make those .ogg files or is there a other way to be able to read the .mp3 files?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry man!! It was strange for me you couldn't set your mp3 ringtones so I tried to do what I did the first time again... because it was 2 weeks ago, and I made a mistake in my answer... sorry!! The thing is much more easier than changing format or pasting to phone...
follow the next instructions: open root explorer, go to your sd card, look for a folder called media, in media look for audio (it's like the system's audio one but in sd card), then go to ring tones and there you can paste everysong in mp3 you want without problem of space because they will be in your sd card. there is also a folder called notifications where you can put anything for messages, also in mp3... If you didn't find the folders I mentioned, just create them in the order I told you... sd/media/audio/ringtones, ok? and whatever you pasted in the phone now you can delete it because it occupy space you could need for other things...
I hope to help you now, and sorry for my initial mess... Now it must work you because I tested it before posting it here
Let me know if it worked for you

I thought the same as you... so I downloaded a program called Format Factory which convert your mp3 to ogg easily... However in ogg format it loses quality and I tried to paste a mp3 song anyway... For me it worked, I went so settings and I chose my mp3 song and now it's my ringtone... If it doesn't work for you try to convert it to ogg with the program I told you. You can find it in www.softonic.com

I'm glad to know your good news!! I thought I was wrong all the time but if you want to try my last advice I think it doesn't need to boot and obviously you have plenty of space to put much more songs in your sd than in your phone now you choose!!
Anyway I'm happy to be useful taking into account I was noob just 3 weeks ago

Well I can't choose if I want a song from my SD card or phone.
It needs to be in the specific folder on my phone though.
If you know a trick how to be able to get songs from my SD card, then I would love to know.
But atleast I don't have to make .ogg files.
I told you the trick before, but I repeat it again here... Basically it's similar to what you are doing in the phone directory but in the sd card... here you are
follow the next instructions: open root explorer, go to your sd card, look for a folder called media, in media look for audio (it's like the system's audio one but in sd card), then go to ring tones and there you can paste everysong in mp3 you want without problem of space because they will be in your sd card. there is also a folder called notifications where you can put anything for messages, also in mp3... If you didn't find the folders I mentioned, just create them in the order I told you... sd/media/audio/ringtones, ok? and whatever you pasted in the phone now you can delete it because it occupies space you could need for other things... it's simple!! I don't know how, but whatever you put in that folder you can choose it later in settings, sound... as if it were a ringtone placed in the phone!! must be magic of this pefect minicm rom!! if the song doesn't appear to you at the first time try reboot as you do when copying to phone... I hope it works and you can put a lot of songs without losing space in phone...

I love you man!
It works although I need to reboot my phone before he sees it but that's not a big deal though.
Sorry for the miss understanding though.
I'm happy to know about that!! I can't help to many things because as I told you I'm a bit noob like many people here, but it's good to know I helped someone like this page helped me to improve my phone so much!! Now enjoy your phone as I'm doing!!

BTW AM USING nAa's MiniCM7-2.1.7 AND ITS QUITE FAST AND MOST STABLE.
Thanks a lot it worked just fine and now i can set message,and even email notifications to the full mp3 songs i have copied into the notifications folder.

First, sorry for my English =)
I found some threads like this of mine, but they don't helped me. Could someone do it?
I lost my original x10 mini ringtones, but I recovered those that were in the system directory. Now I need those that are in sdcard (I remember that there were ringtones like Arctic, Jet set, just exemplifying - all were in the sdcard). If you have not formatted your sdcard, you will be able to help me =)
Someone?
how to replace or change original ringtones
in rooted xperia x10i
i have deleted the original ringtones but they are not removed form list
Hey fa_im1,
- Go to settings, sound, phone ringtone -----> depends on the ROM that you have, ringtone selection will alow you to search on music library or set a new one from the list
- Search (with a file explorer) where is located the name of the actual ringtone and one you find it, paste more songs there
If didn't success provide your ROM and then we will suggest you some ways to set them =)
This is a formal video doing the process of changing ringtone with standard method

Hope that helps
