I am trying to copy some files in system/media/audio/notifications to be used as notification sound but it's not getting copied. I am using File Expert to do this. I have mounted FE as readwrite but the files are not getting copied. First I tried to copy .wav files than I converted the same to .ogg. Still not able to copy those files.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Yes make the folders and add your tones if you do a search there has been topics on this before.

I have tried inserting my own file into the alerts/ringtone directory (Windows/rings) and they do not show up when I try to change it on my Sprint Touch Pro. I have tried wav, and wma as both file types are present in the directory. Any ideas?

Have you tried <My Documents\My Ringtones>? What about saving them as MP3? Stock ROM? How big are these files?
Copy them and then paste into the windows folder. Then they appear as the others do when you select a ringtone as normal. If you look through the windows folder you'll notice the factory ringtones.

That's just because everything goes to <\Windows> during a ROM flash. PROVXML's should move some of the Factory rings to <\Windows\Rings>, but it depends on provider and ROM version. Most custom ROMS have the ringtone packages move the main ringtones to the Rings folder.
WM should search all the mentioned folders for Tones:
<\Windows>
<\Windows\Rings>
<\My Documents\My Ringtones>
<\Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones>
There might be more, but I know for sure these 4 places work.
Thanks for the replies guys. The provider is sprint on a stock rom. Tried all 4 locations to no avail, the file is only 153K. Haven't tried it as mp3 yet gonna have to convert it. I don't know what the deal is I didn't have any problems on my last phone (elf) but my last phone didn't have the rings folder it just dumped everything into the windows folder.
Ok mp3 worked, weird. Anywho.... thanks guys appreciate the input.
Hey all..
I have a few media players installed on my hero, but on the preinstalled one is there a way to get it to ignore a folder? I am currently learning spanish and have about 500 mp3's on the phone. It unfortunatly lists them all on the media player. I want to get it to ignore them so when i let it play my entire playlist on random it wont choose any of those.
is there a way? I have MixZing lite which does have an option to look at specific folders, but it wont intergrate with the lock screen (which is really very handy!). I tried adding the .nomedia onto the directory but to no avail....
I had the same problem, so far all I've done is hide the entire folder by stiking a '.' on the front of the folder e.g. hide the folder 'hidestuffinhere' by renaming it '.hidestuffinhere' using Astro or something.
The media player ignores everything under these folders:
\Media\Alarms
\Media\Ringtones
\Media\Notifications
However, if you move your spanish mp3s into these folders, they'll show up in alarms, ringtones or notifications.
sweet! that will solve my ringtones issue to then
just moved ringtones to the folder /media/ringtones but not showing up in the ringtone selection... should i do a reboot first?
Try a reboot,
If it doesn't work, backup your SD to your PC. Then format the SD card through the phone and recopy your data back.
That worked for me.

Yeah, I use Astro, and it works fine.
Yep just used Astro to change my download folder (where I download ringtones to on my sd card) anyways in the music player it used to show a load of unknown albums and list the weird ringtones I had downloaded.
Changed the folder through Astro .downloads and now the music player doesn't pick up those unwanted files.
The other alternative is:
Using notepad, create an empty file
save the file as .nomedia (do not save as .txt, but "All files")
add the file .nomedia to the folder you want to avoid showing media from
This works for video, photos and MP3. They can still be accessed using file explorer.
Hope that helps
The files in the attachment are OGG file types ... and the hero does not recognize them .. how can we get these sounds compatible on the Hero?

What do you mean, the Hero doesn't recognize them? Where did you copy them exactly? Do you mean they don't show up when you go to select your ringtone? If so, you need to make sure the ogg files are in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ (or /system/media/audio/notifications/ depending on what files you're dealing with.) You can put them there with
Code:
adb push file.ogg /system/media/audio/ringtones/
or is it a different problem? If the ogg's are on your SD card, can you play them in the Music app? Are there any error messages you can share with us?
i placed the files in their necessary folders, ringers/alarms/notificatios
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
if i open on sdcard and play on phone.. they play fine ... but when i go to a contact and go to select a ringtone .. the file is not showing ... but other ringtones i put in that folder show ....

I've got them up and running, did you already resolve this, itouch?
No, they still don't show up when I try I'm pick ringtones for someone yet they play when I am listening to music on my phone , so phone recognizes them at that time but not when o am looking for them. And I know if I pit a "." In front of folder name it will hide the music player from playing them but it also hides from everything on phone.
Odd, I put the same files in the same folders and it works fine here. The Audio Manager ignores those folders, so it shouldn't be necessary to hide them.
Regarding wallpapers, they should be placed in sdcard/media/resources/wallpapers
i am running fresh ROM .7 ... not sure if that has something to do with it
but my media player is playing the ogg files ... and they are not showing up when i want to pick one of them for ringtones.. it is like it is setup backwards...
from what u are saying is that the media player should be ignoring those files automatically and they should show up when i pick alarm/notification and ringtone
**********************************************************************************************************
would u believe what the problem was
my folders had capital letters ... Ringtones instead of ringtones...
dam i didnt know it was case sensitive ...
thanks guys for assisting on this ...
Haha, it's always the smallest little detail Glad you got it working.
My phone is rooted, i've cleaned out most of the bloatware and i'm starting to customize it to my own, but i'm trying to find out where to put my music/ringtones/pictures/wallpapers and i'm kind of lost.
When I mount and open it to view files, these are the folders in my internal storage
Android
ClockworkMod
data
DCIM
FeebeRings
layar
TitaniumBackup
newsImage
update.zip
Can someone please tell me exactly where to put all of my things? It would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!
For your Music,, you can put them in any folder,, the OS does a screen on the SD Card on every boot and it will detect your music. So basically just put them in a folder named Music.
The Ringtones go in \system\media\audio\Ringtones
Pictures Goes in DCIM, wallpapers can be put in the same directory cuz when the OS scans the SD Card it will detect your wallpapers as pictures.
The built in wallpapers are in an .APK so you can not have your wallpapers added to the built in...
^ I think you could probably take the TWwallpaper .apk and extract it to find the pics and delete/add them and then rezip it?
system/app/twwallpaperchooser/res/drawable-hdpi
this is where the backgrounds are. I wonder if you could just add/delete them in this folder using root explorer?
I have never done it.. but it seems like it could be done.

So, I have the same question (having just successfully flashed), but am confused about the answer. In the poster's question, as in my phone, there is no "system" directory.
I still have bionix-v-1.3.1.zip in the root directory of the internal memory. Apparently the poster had already removed the .zip file of whatever version he/she flashed from the root directory. The only place I can find a \system\media\audio\Ringtones directory is in that zip file. I see all of my currently available ringtones there, and can't find them in any other directory. (This seems odd, as I'd have expected them to be created somewhere else in phone's internal memory, as part of the flashing process).
Are you saying to just go ahead and treat bionix-v-1.3.1.zip like a directory, and drag a file into the directory in that file?
P.s. I have that "is this so obvious to everybody but me?" feeling, since xKrazYx626 seemed to have no problem understanding your answer
You guys need to get root explorer to view these directories

With a root file manager navigate to root-system/media/audio, then replace the folders with the ones provided in the zip. Verify that the permissions are correct (folders and files inside), then reboot. Its a good idea to make a backup folder with the stock files in case you want to revert to the stock sounds.

Just unzip, move the 'audio' folder into the 'notifications' folder on your device and reboot. Make sure you delete the extracted folder for where ever you extracted to and keep what's been moved in 'notifications' folder or you'll get duplicates for each sound. If you do have duplicates then just accept it or look through one by one and delete duplicated sound from 'notifications' folder.
I'm theory you can have these sounds anywhere as it will just pick up the .ogg files and add it to your list of sounds. I like to keep them separate in 'notifications' folder.
Hope this helps and don't forget to thank if it did.

I have just
duplicate your different folders (UI, notifications etc etc) in the folder audio,
Change permissions for each files,
not delete the original folder, just rename with 'back' at the end.
And no sound!!!

You don't have to move anything into the system - media - audio folder or change any permissions. These can be in your download folder and they will still be picked up.
A while back Samsung made it so you can't add any audio to the media - audio location in your device so from then we just move the ogg files to the notification folder on your sdcard (not external bit may still work).
Thank-you for the sharing.
You can also unzip and paste all the files to : /storage/extSdCard/media/audio/notifications
Or
/storage/extSdCard/media/audio/ringtones
No need to be root [emoji3]
