Hi, is there any way how to add my own notification rigtones (not phone ringtones)? I would like to change existing notif. tones (too short and silent to me) for new ones (for ex. music etc.). Is it possible if I dont have rooted phone?
Samsung Galaxy SII
Thx for advice.
Yes you can also this has been covered many time in the past.
Make a folder on sdcard called Notifications. Insert appropriate audio files into folder. Select notification tone in normal way. I think Ringtones and Alarms works too, I'm not too sure. I find there is a delay when using custom tones in that fashion, so I just whack 'em in /system/media

Settings -> Sound & display settings -> Notification ringtone.
If you want to add your own notifications and ringtones, create a "Ringtones" and "Notifications" folders on the SD card and put sound files in there.

The Skype notification sound is built into the skype app itself. The only way to change it is to decompile the skype apk using apktool, swap the sound files around, repackage it, sign it and push it back to your phone. Its quite complecated if you don't know what you are doing.

hi,
i just thought this may help other users of galaxy ace to add ringtones and notification tones..
i just created this folders to my sd card and audio files are shown automatically to the ringtones and notifiaction tones. i am just new to this phone and tried everything for a few days with no luck, no application needed to add your favorite songs, tones..hope this will also work for you...
SDCARD/ MEDIA/ AUDIO/ RINGTONES
and for the notifications...
SDCARD/ MEDIA/ AUDIO/ NOTIFICATIONS
It works.....no apps needed....just create folders...
thanks bro!
Just an addition to the first post...
You can create a third folder for the alarms, the same way:
SDCARD/ MEDIA/ AUDIO/ALARMS
Put in the audio files you want, and you will be able to select them when configuring an alarm!
thanks for the info, but guys i have a problem, I downloaded a custom ringtone but its volume is too low compared to the preset ringtone the handset comes with. I already maximized the volume for the notification in the settings menu, can anyone help me. thanks a lot and more power to the forums.

You can try using this program, MP3GAIN, to boost up your mp3's decibels.
http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/download.php
Or this app from Android Market..Volume+ (Sound Boost)
currently using this app for my boosted up mp3s using MP3GAIN. Results = LOUD
But works only on Gingerbread..

Can't work out how to thank you, OP (perhaps I'm too new) - but, thanks!
Helped me too, finally... Just had to balance out ringtone with notification volume.
Thanks to both OP and Chikanoz
or maybe you can just install yourself a zedge app/Go sms
ADVICE
BUT it's better if you convert mp3 to ogg....
i've noticed if i use mp3, the sound takes a few seconds
Hit thanks button if i helped you
Yes..you need to make them OGG files.They are recommended
Great...thanks a lot. Is there a way to delete original ringtones?

Yeah, I think I got an idea. Use ES File Explorer (amazing app!) and tap on the favourites tab. Tap on "/" and then go to to /system. From there go to media (/system/media/) and then audio (/system/media/audio/). From there you should find some folders. Alarms, notifications, ringtones and ui.
Quick heads up, I'm just going off of the way I transfered a notification tone from my Acer Iconia Tab A500 to my Samsung Galaxy Ace, so no promises
And if all else fails, I have to second and say use Zedge
notifications

There is an easy way. Got to "My Files" from menu, select "create folder" name folder, "Notifications" Copy whatever music you want from your SDcard, called, "external_sd" and paste into "Notifications". Your music will appear in the notifications ringtones list in "Sounds". Just select it.
Thanks so much, this has been an absolute godsend, I can use a tone I can actually hear for my reminders!
Then, yesterday it suddenly decided to stop working The dfault on calendar alarms went to on screen notification and the sound file I'd added had gone. I connected USB and it's still there, but doesn't show up in the list of ringtones any more.
Any suggestions? I'd be so greatful, I'm going to miss all kinds of appointments now I'm sure
all they need now is a folder for playlists which i'll try to implement into my new geared series
Okay, so you may know what this is already - Linda sounds for your phone... read the whole post please.
For this version I rebuilt most sounds from scratch, and solved the mystery of the boot sound. All sounds properly maximized with a touch of reverb added, and I put some effort into figuring out some proper levels for the sounds, so it does not get irritating.
If the bootanimation for your phone has been changed, I cannot guarantee the proper working of the startup sound. Other than that it should work no matter what you have theme wise, as only sounds are being changed. Flash it after your theme is flashed and you will overwrite whatever sounds are there.
Startup - "Welcome to Android 2.2.1, the system is now loading"
Shutdown - The system is shutting down, goodbye"
Battery Low - " Battery level critical, please connect charger"
USB connection - "USB connected, battery charging"
Did not add the lock sounds because they annoy me, and the dialer does not call for individual sounds for each key. If I get time, a Lindaphone and Lindacam app may be created in the future, but I need to learn how to decompile and recompile those files properly to get it done.
Also custom notifications for messaging, weather, email, voicemail, calendar, XDA, and instant messaging. A ringtone is also included. As a bonus, I included my personal notification, which is a trimmed up version of the air guitar sound from Bill and Ted. Just makes me smile everytime I hear it... listed as Air Guitar in your notifications.
How do you install this? Put it on your sd card and flash it in recovery. Hate it? Flash the undo and the original Bi-Winning sounds will be restored. The ringtones and notifications will stay, I am not writing a script to delete files from anyones phone. I know enough to be dangerous, but to me that is playing with fire. The notifications and ringtone take up 340k in your system. If you absolutely NEED that space back, delete the individual files in system/media/audio/notifications and /ringtone with root explorer.
Not responsible if you break your phone, blah blah. You know this. I built this for Bi-Winning, but it should work for anything ZSJPJ or ZSJPK based. The boot sound absolutely will not work on anything that is not ZSJPJ or ZSJPK. Anything else is at your own risk, but the worst thing that will probably happen is the sounds will not work as expected.
Have Fun!
I love your sounds, but I'm running bionix. I can just extract the zip and then copy and paste the sounds in the appropriate audio folder with root explorer correct?
Not interested in the boot and shutdown, just tones.
Btw, thanks for making these!

Yeah, just copy and paste with your explorer and you are good. The tones though are largely the same. The major rebuild is on the ui sounds, the rebuilding of the notifications is on my to do list for an updated version

Ok, has anyone been able to figure out how to change the notification sound of the built in Email client? (Not Gmail). It's an annoying bell and I see no option anywhere to change it. I've been through the system settings AND through the email settings -- maybe I am missing something.
Also, is there a way to change the water sounds to the regular Android sounds?
Thanks in advance!!
Not sure about email client but to change to android sounds u need to root.
Extract ringtones u want from a different Rom...ie an S2 ics Rom for example.
Then use root explorer to place new tones in /system/media/audio/ringtones.
Reboot and the new tones should show up in settings for u to select. .
Hope this helps.

Mine show up under the email settings...
Open the e-mail>>settings>> select the email address that you have added... scroll to the bottom... Notification settings...
This is a per e-mail account setting so they are "hidden" under each attached account

Thanks! I'm already rooted, but there is no option to change touch tone sounds, even if I added more to the directory.

So basically it's just like the Gmail settings then? Cool. Thanks.
Found them, they are all in the UI directory. One controls touch, one is for back, etc. They all have to be changed in order to get rid of the 'water' sounds.
It's called: /system/media/audio/ui/
The two files I have found so far are:
TWTouch.ogg
S_HW_Touch.ogg
Now if I could just find the standard Android touch tones somewhere.
Today I changed the notification ringtone with "Ringtone Maker" app from Google Play.
Then I deleted the sound file from sd card.
In Settings / Sound as "default notifications" is now: Unknown ringtone.
When I receive a TEXT message I hear a different version of Over the horizon. It is a little different than the original one.
In /system/media/audio/ringotones I found S_Over_the_horizon.ogg - but it's not this one!
Also it's not Over the Horizon from: /sdcard/Samsung/Music/Over_the_horizon.mp3
So my question is: Where this "default notification sound" is located in?
they are in /system/media/audio/ringotones
Notifications ringtones are under system/media/audio/notificatios not ringtones
It's not there, as I said:
in /system/media/audio/ringotones I found S_Over_the_horizon.ogg - but it's not this one!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is not Over the horizon in system/media/audio/notificatios
It must be somewhere else... I checked all .ogg and .mp3 files on the phone, and didn't find that version of Over the horizon...
How can I check the location of currently SMS ringtone?
Lol for a folder with ringtones/notifications on your sd card
nobody knows?
Have you looked for a folder related to ringtone maker?

I have looked everywhere.
This is not Ringtone Maker's sound. It's a default Samsung's ringtone. It sounds similar to: S_Over_the_horizon.ogg but with a little different tone.
It must be hidden somewhere. I think it's in SecSettings.apk, but I can't open resources.arsc file in it...
