I recently installed cyanogenmod 9 on my Galaxy S2, I found out that I can assign a custom ringtone from the music player. (btw if you go to settings it doesn't allow you to assign custom ringtone or notifications.) My question is how can I assign custom notification sounds?
Thanks

May not be what you are looking for. But you can try
Copy your custom sounds files into the directory of the internal SD's \media\audio\notifications\ (create if not exist) and then go to Settings > Sounds. Your custom sounds should be showing up there.

so I used Mabilo to download ringtones and notification sounds, now mabilo has options to set such ringtones as Set As, default or contact, etc. the problem is though that I have to go through the app to do it i want to be able to do it from the settings menu. is there anything specific that I should do? so i have to make a specifi folder to deferrentiate between the notifications and actual ringtones? what do i do?
I think you can take any sound as long as its in .ogg format and push it to the system/media/audio/ringtones folder using adb. I used Android Commander to push the ringtones from Euegen's froyo rom to the Fusion rom I'm running right now.

would i be able to do the same thing with root explorer?
I'm a newbie and need help. I have a rooted atrix running Gingerblur 3.5. I have used an app to create a custom ogg file to use as a notification. I then copied the file to system/media/audio/notifications. After rebooting the phone the file shows up in the list of notification choices and lets me select it. However the file is not being used by the system. The file directly beneath it is used even though the custom one is selected. What have I done wrong or failed to do?
Thanks.
handcentSMS has a ringtone picker that works great with other apps.
Edit:
After looking in root explorer.. Put your ogg in
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Not
/system/...

Thanks, but that was not the problem. Like I stated I am new at this, but I did figure out the problem. The permissions on the file were set to not allow the owner to do anything. After changing the owner permissions it is working now. I had to do this in the /system/media/audio/notifications because the sd card location did not allow permission changes.
Thanks again for your interest & reply though.

OP its good you figured it out. How did you change the permissions? Never heard of that..?

Ok, this happened to me once before, but before that; have you increased notification volume in Sound Settings?
If you have (and thats not the problem), are you on a Gingerbread rom (like Checkrom) and installed a custom mod (like no increasing ring)?
[Also on a side note if you have problems in the future it would be good if you could provide that kind of information before hand]
the sound is at maximum with the configuration of the cell. hearing himself but still very low.
configuration or code which apk secret or I can fix the tone?

Ok, not sure what you said there, but if you did install a custom mod such as 'no increasing ring' on GINGERBREAD Rom then copy and paste (using a root explorer such as es explorer) and copy the attached file to the following folder System --> Lib. Back up your existing file of the same name just in case first. This fixed it for me and hopefully will fix it for you. Make sure you UNZIP it first and use the extracted file libaudiopolicy.so only
Hit the thanks if it helped (or even if it didn't, I don't know how I ended up thanking you but you're welcome nonetheless lol )

Thanks, I'll try
To start with, I have the newest version of "CyanogenMod 9 nightly builds"
I might be missing something here but I can't seem to ADD new notifications to this MOD. I added a ringtone, (easy enough) but I have tried adding notifications to the Root DIR "notifications" and I have added them to DIR "media/audio/notifications" and neither show up. what am I missing?
Have you rebooted? The ROM scans the /system directory on boot.
If so, have you checked the permissions match the existing ogg or mp3 files?
Or, if you don't want to mess with system files, use Ringtone Maker app.

Yes and Yes.
Still not working...
i change my ringtones and stuff before flashing, just to let you know that can be done too
I have never had a problem doing it with any other ROM before. So i don't know what is going on with CM9...
My phone is running AOSP Extended 14.1. It's a bit of a pain to have to copy my custom notification sounds & ringtones to the media folder & change permissions every time I flash an updated ROM. Is there a way to make a flashable zip file to do this?

omg just put into the ringtones folder in internal storage/sdcard it will show up in the list of ringtones and notification
i feel so bad for you bcs you didnt know xD
Also create a folder named Notification and put your custom sounds in there
so its two folders
Ringtones
Notifications
