I see when I open up TI that their is a ringtone trimmer, I have searched for it and it doesnt come up. I have tried accessing it and no dice, right now I have TI trying to "convert to user app" whatever that means. Has anyone found a way to use this, and why would htc/verizon put it on there and not have a way for us to access it?
The ringtone trimmer option is available under the stock music player, don't think it's accessible on it's own

Hmmm, how exactly do you access it there?
You can set a song as a ringtone, but can not cut it where you want it from there...
Through the music player:
Find the song/audio file you want, long press it, choose Set as Ringtone, and then (if the option appears) Trim Ringtone.
It looks like it will only give you the option to trim if the song is over a certain length. A 20 sec file didn't give me the option.
Currently rocking out to the sound of "Dovahkin! Dovahkin!" whenever my phone rings.

I do that, and only get the option of phone ringtone or contact ringtone.
Worked for me today. Didn't know it existed until I read this thread so thank you.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
BVK's instructions got me to it. Very cool feature, actually. I had seen the service a couple times when poking around but was wondering where it was hidden.
This must be an example of the things people like about sense!

whats the best way to get ringtones that sound good. im using and mp3 for ringtone and wav for sms, but they both dont sound so great, how can i get one that sounds better like the ones the phone comes with, like edit them to make them louder/smaller size etc...?
save it in WMA format. You will get less of a delay with the phone. Also, just start out with a good quality file and clip it to suit your needs.

right click, view source, find the actual .mp3 location and copy paste it into a browser?
myxertones.com from PIE is a very solid source. Nothing like 325kbps, but still decent.
You can always just put some mp3's on your phone and use HTC Audio Manager to make ringtones. In Audio Manager start to play the song you want to use and then left soft key then click use as ringtone (or something like that) then press trim and trim the song where you want. Then you have the option to save as default or to the ringtones folder.
Also something i found out messing with ringtones a while ago, if you get a program that changes the gain on mp3/wav files you can make the ringtones ALOT louder. You just have to find the right spot where the song will not distort.
Can some one kindly explain tome how to get my music file
associations back to standard please.
After downloading Coreplayer I noticed all my music files
had converted to Coreplayer association with the corresponding
CP icons in my file explorer,I would like to change this back.
Cheers for any help you can offer....
Open up core player, hit the menu or options button and you can get to tools then pages and you can find file associations just uncheck mp3, not the best description because i dont use it any more sorry, but its something like that

Cheers bud,I've done that,unchecked a few things and it seems the
WMA files I've got have reverted back OK to
Windows Media Player and have the right icon,but all my MP3's have the
Windows icon you usually get with programs and aren't selectable to play
from File explorer,if I select a track it just drops back to the home screen.
Music tracks are still selectable from HTC Player....
I'm at a brick wall at the moment,don't know what to try next ?
have you tried a soft reset?? and all so tried opening a track through windows media player that way it might pick them up
Yep tried that and updating my WM library,everything plays OK
but I still have this strange icon issue in File Explorer and
of course I can't select them to play from within there...
Seems like I will have to delete all the music and re-load them again,
all my ringtones and notification tones have stopped working.
Strange that they will all still play in hTC music player,but
are not selectable via File Explorer.
I would have liked a definitive answer to how to cure this,but
hey ho something to do on a rainy Sunday removing all my music files.
I ditched Coreplayer,not only did it cause this issue by associating all my
MP3's to itself,I found it quite irritating to use.
Well...deleted everything and uploaded all music files from my laptop again,
still no joy,I really need some more advice...
All my music files are still showing as Windows files with no music association...
please someone help !!
I can't get any of my music files to select as a ringtone,I missed several calls,texts and emails...
for the ringtone try dropping it into device-app data-sounds, i have no music on my phone, but i put ringtones there cause ms instructed me to do so, only problem is ringtone showed up in player and is ur music in ms format - wma i believe - i do not use i got 1.5 gb songs ipod format hope it helps
i decided to try and answer here instead of hd2 place
I have replied to your issue in another forum. Try using Resco File Explorer or Total Commander to set the file association back to wmplayer.exe.
Thanx Web,
but the issue isnt where the files are stored,they do already show up in my
selection of available ringtones and notification sounds (I had already been using them,so they are correctly placed in the phones folders.
The problem is if I click on one to hear it before deciding to select it for
shall we say my main ringtone nothing happens due to it
not having the correct file type....
I have selected 'Opens with' as WMP and they will open up from File Explorer
and play perfectly OK
and also in HTC player,but the file type is showing as 'unknown type'
instead of the generic HTC music icon it should have....
Hope that makes it clearer ?
OK I tried your suggestion Web and ringtones work now... thank fook for that cheers...
although they appear as more than one copy of each in the
selection folder now,this isnt a problem as I know to select the top
version of each to my alotted ring tones and can just delete the
other copies from where I have them stored.
So everything plays as it should now,it's just the icons that
are wrong.
thanks markt77 - appreciate the input - i try - and i am learning good knowledge from u and the other folks over there - boy it is sometimes really hard to get a response at xda when u request answers
but
it's the most innovative forum on the planet
Good afternoon folks, I'm just curious if anyone can assist me with a quick question/issue I am having. I have done a search for my answer previous to creating this thread (and registering even), asked elsewhere etc, but didn't and couldn't really find anything pertaining to my exact problem. Of course, I may have missed or overlooked it, and if so, I apologize.
First, my phone and what not. (if more information is required, I'll provide)
LG Optimus One (LGP500h)
Rooted - Gingerbreak v1.20
Have tried .mp3 and .ogg with same results.
What's happening is; I've created my own ringtone(s) and am trying to have them separate from my music, but no matter what instructions I follow the custom ringtone ALWAYS appears while listening to the music I have on my phone. eg: when I walk my dog listening to an album, my ringtone lists as a music track and plays as one.
I have tried the numerous tutorials out there for doing this:
- create separate ringtone/alarms/notifications folders on the SD card
- create the above as sub folders within the media folder on the SD card
- create the above as sub folders within the DCIM folder on the SD card
- create the above as sub folders within the Sounds folder on the SD card
All of the above locations allow me to use my custom ringtone no problem, BUT when I listen to the music I've added to my phone via the stock music player, my ringtone plays as if it was a song, so I get a 30 second ringtone in the middle of an album. It's not really a big deal if I keep my custom ringtones limited to one, but it does get a bit annoying if I want to add several custom ringtones.
I'm curious to what I am doing wrong here, or if this is just the cost I have to pay to have a custom ring tone - I've searched all over and haven't found a solution, nor found anyone else having this same issue which leads me to believe I am doing something incorrectly.
I'd prefer to not use an app that downloads music for ringtones, as I am a musician myself and have created my own, so I'd just like to use the one(s) I create and not have them appear as music tracks.
Thanks in advance for any insight or help.

I'm not sure about any fix for the issue. But I think if you use a 3rd party music app like PowerAMP, you can select where you want the app to scan for media. You can exclude some folders for scanning. But if you prefer the stock app, the you can have a workaround: Create a playlist with all the albums except the ringtone album (categorize all the custom ring tones under a single album). This way you can always play the playlist, which will not have the ring tones album.
Try it and see if it works!
Thanks for the quick reply! I feel kind of silly now that I never considered using a different player, or even making a playlist as it seems kind of obvious to me now. I'll check out some music players (like PowerAmp) and will post again if this solves my problem.
Again, thank you for the quick response.
Under Sound Settings and Phone ringtone, I remember it created a Ringtones folder on my sd card. Then I would put my custom ringtones in that folder. I would never hear it when I was going through my music. I am also using PowerAmp and it scanned only the music folder.

Try it. It's a very good app. But personally I don't like it because of its UI. I prefer the simple, clean stock music player.

Thanks gkarthik16, your suggestion seems to have solved my problem.
I also liked the stock player, but not enough to have to deal with my original issue. I tried out a couple free players very briefly, and although I'm not sure about PowerAmp's U.I just yet, I'm going stick with it for now and see how it works out and consider purchasing the full version. I imagine I'll get used it for my needs.
Thanks again.
I am getting really frustrated with trying to get to the ringtone trimmer. I have searched and found several posts around the internet on getting to it via the music app. However, I cannot get to it on my phone it seems. If I start the music app itself, it doesn't show any music files. I tried doing a search for the file but it won't find it. I can't find an option in music to scan my phone for all music files either. If I go through root explorer and play it that way, the music popup player plays the file but there is no menu or options to set it as a ringtone, let alone trim it. It also doesn't add the file to the recently played list so I can'g get to it through the music app after playing it.
This has me really frustrated and I'm about ready to throw this phone through the wall. I found the HTC user manual telling how to do it, but guess what. IT DOESN'T WORK!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?
*If your response is to use a 3rd party app, don't bother replying. I want to find out how to use the tools included with the phone.*

I think this is what you're looking for but if not I apologize...this is what worked for me.
1. Open the HTC music app and start playing a song.
2. Once on the now playing screen, select the button with 3 dots about halfway down on right hand side.
3. Select "set as ringtone" option
4. Select trim ringtone
Good luck!

Maybe that is the problem. The only music app I have is called Music, not HTC music. I am running the latest stock deoxed Rom. It might have been removed.

If I open the music folder, I can do the same thing suggested above. Works for me but I'm not rooted. I also used quickshortcut maker (available in the market) which helps to locate the hidden HTC apps. I was able to find ringtone trimmer with this, although Im not sure where this app comes from, but it is not in my app drawer. Hope this helps.

Music app seems to find all the mp3 files, when the phone boots. I have had to clear its data, if I delete folders containing mp3s. Try restarting the phone, and see of the mp3, you're trying to trim, shows in the Music app.

That was the key, rebooting. Was finally able to see the file to play it and trim it. Thanks.

I've tried hiding my custom tones that I've downloaded at various points in different places on my phone (T-Mobile Galaxy S4), inclding the external SD, but to no avail. For example, I added a high quality .mp3 clip of a old rotary phone ring to use as my ringtone, I put it straight into the ringtones system folder.
Very next time that I start up Google Music, there's new stuff from 'unknown artist," low and behold, the ringtone.
Super annoying, part of the reason I was paying for all access to use Google Music was to have a clean, auto-organized library. I don't want all of my sounds system-wide added to my library, and I can't seem to find any way to change the folders it searches, or even to remove it from the library within the app once it is added.
Anyone have any ideas?
Isn't their a setting that let's you chose what folders Google music can see. For instance, in poweramp you can go into the settings and unchecked the folders.

Not one that I can find. The app is definitely on the side of simple/sleek rather than full options, which is nice except when you need to change something like this.
i think changing MP3 to ogg will solve the problem and put it in system/media/ringtones
