Hey guys, I used to have a couple of custom Ringtones placed in the external sd card under media/audio/ringtones.
I don't really know what I had changed recently, but suddenly, they are gone from the list of available notification tones. I gave tried moving it to the similar folder in the internal sd card to no avail. The ringtones are in mp3 format.
Am currently running CheckROM 3.1.1 with speedmod kernel k18 test 11.
Please help.

Anyone?

Does the folder containing the ringtones also contain a file named ".nomedia"? Android media scanner skips all files in folders that contain a file with that name.
Nope. But I realised that the "facebook pop" notification is recognised and it is in m4a format. Could it be that mp3 is suddenly not supported as a notification format anymore?

Should be recognized. I have several .mp3 format ringtones. Does the containing folder have a period at these beginning of its name?
EDIT: wait - are they ringtones or notifications? If they're not in media/audio/notifications, then they won't show up in your list of notification sounds.

You can also create a folder for this purpose on your internal sd.
Creating a folder -
- In the root of your internal sd, create a folder named media.
- Within that folder, create a folder named audio
-Within audio, create folders named notifications and ringtones
- From here, put desired ringtones in the appropriate folder and reboot. They'll show up in the selection screen.
There are more than a few apps in the market that will do what you want. Ringtones, Ringdroid, and there are others.
SMS popup works good too

Ha, overlooked that part. I found this. Seems to be what you're looking for. There's also a free, but limited version.
Yes SMS pop up works for seperate contacts

Hi,
I'm moving away from MIUI rom, but really like the Anticipation stock ringtone, is there a way to save it to MP3 or a different media file?

Either extract it from the rom .zip, or copy it from /system/media/audio/ to wherever.

Hey anyone know the folder play music is kept? I got songs from play and can't find em, even on play music!
Thanks

I am pretty sure you need to have the play music app and make sure your signed in correctly. you should also try deleting the app data and restarting the app over again to try to get it working. Hope this helps.

It's in the SD card app directory, and but the files contain no metadata nor filenames of use..... On purpose. Don't recall the exact folder either.

Edit: Cyanogenmod's profiles seemed to be corrupt. Making a new profile & selecting it fixed the problem.
So my phone has been fine, up until now. Whenever I restart my phone running CM9 my notification and ring tone sounds get reset to 'unknown ring tone'.
I'm on the latest nightly build, is there a fix? Thanks.

Does nobody know? I've flashed a Samsung based ROM and the music player fails to find any music or folders. Maybe the SD card isn't named correctly?

Thanks. Tried all 3 solutions and none worked, ringtones still reset, the gallery is still empty, and so is the music player.

Use a file explorer/manager to to check if your media folders are still there.

Another 'tard question.
Running SnowJB, and created a custom mpga to use as a ringtone.
Cannot find the solution on how to set it as my ringer for the life of me...
Just put audio files in /sdcard /media/audio/ringtones and reboot to kick the media scanner in.

You should be able to just use an app to rescan the sdcard instead of rebooting.
THIS for example. There is a non-root version too.
