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

Yep, my folders are...
alarms
notifications &
ringtones
...which are placed in media\audio, then use settings to choose my tones. Not sure why it doesn't work for you.

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

Could it have something to do with the sd card flip-flop?

Im thinking so...but how do I get around it?
You can flash naven's sd flip-flop from the dev. section of this forum. That's supposed to revert it back to the stock designation. I think the aosp contacts app has no provision for multiple locations for sound files.

Put your ringtones in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ that should do the trick.
Whats really odd about all of it is the fact the ringtones/notifications are there in my list, but does not play the correct one.
I had the same issue last night! I will let you guys know if it works, if someone calls me, lol.
When I get home ill try it...left my usb home and every time I try to dl through browser keep getting nothing.

"Put your ringtones in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ that should do the trick."
this is what i did manually and all of my music and tones were able to be found again.
When I moved my ringtone over it became the same as my default ringer... Seriously, the file name is the same as it was before, but the audio is what my default ringer is! These are custom ringtones I ripped and made myself in AcidPro on my PC so I know what they are supposed to be lol.
Ran the sd flip flop...no go. Not a real deal breaker but Id like to know whether or not to answer the phone when it rings. Plus when my gf hears her ringtone..makes her happy lol,
She calls you when she is next to you? lol

Hello
One of my family member liked my ringtone, and asked me if it was possible for me to get it for her. So I tried, but failed. I only found the whole song. But it is not the one in the device.
So I am asking if somebody could get me the real samsung ringtone . Over the horizon?
Thank you very much.
I'm pretty sure no one on here will help you essentially steal a proprietary ringtone. But if you were rooted and happened to go to /system/media/audio/ringtones yourself, and extract the file, there is nothing anyone could do.

Well excuse me for assuming a Samsung ringtone bundled with a Samsung phone might be copyrighted to Samsung. Like touchwiz for example........

If anyone's interested, if you have a Nandroid backup of your stock Samsung ROM you can extract the files from sytsem.ext4.tar on a PC or Nandroid backup browser. They're under \system\media\audio\

Go download zedge from the play store and search for it. They have tones. Then get a file explorer to search for the zedge folder you'll find the ringtone in the folder. Then you can send it to your friend

On my GB it is found in /system/media/audio/ringtones. Use Root Explorer and via Bluetooth send it to the other phone.
The file is an .ogg sound file.
I would have attached the file for you to DL but don't see a file attach option in this app.
I do hope this helps you though.

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

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
