Create the folders (on internal SD) for custom sounds and place sound files in them:
Alarms for custom alarms
Notifications for custom notifications/SMS
Ringtones for custom ringtones
Just create the folder. media<audio<notifications

I've run into a problem and I want to see if anyone else has... the ringtone and notification lists in the settings menu are not populating and apps like zedge can't set either(get a FC).....

Am I just not seeing some setting or screen?? Seems like custom/personal ringtones should be a basic option for a phone this advanced. All i'm seeing is a list of really cheesy ones and the option to set one to a contact.

I've been in Android world, just my Inspire had an option in music and sound to set a sound clip or song as a ringtone.

Put them in the folder Media > Audio > Notifications
Anything you put there will show up as an option when picking a ringtone.

And many let you get new ones for free. My favorite is zedge.
Also keep in mind there are programs you have to set up individually for from inside them, like google voice, plume, ect.

I've used zedge but I was hoping for just a stock way to do it. Like long press on an mp3 and select "set as ringtone"

Unfortunately no. It annoys me too that I have to put the files in the right folder for the phone to pick it up. Doesn't seem like it would be hard for android to have it as an option when you long press on a ringtone file.

Other phones have it, it's not an Android issue more of a Samsung issue.

I still use ringdroid, since I like to select specific parts of songs. Works great and puts the edited files in the correct folders.

Now that the OTA is finally rolling out and people are updating, I think it's a good time for a thread about the differences aside from what's mentioned in the changelog. It'll give a little insight as to what's changed/added.
So feel free to start listing out what's changed!

Yeah it does feel a lot smoother. Another thing I noticed is that there is native emoji support finally! :thumbup::thumbup:

So can you put emojis with the keyboard or they just show up when someone texts you?

I'm not sure about input but I know they show up like they should be instead of having blank squares. Here's an example from Instagram

Don't notice anything new right off the bat with the camera. It did take a while to update the firmware though. Still have to dig around

Here is a summary of changes I noticed:
UI is smoother than before with no hiccups yet, but that may be a placebo effect.
Notification panel toggles look shorter and waste less vertical space. They cannot be turned off anymore. Now you can only select which ones can be scrolled through horizontally before you have to open the full toggles drawer.
Default font seems to have been updated, though I am not sure whether I was on Samsung Sans beforehand and it simply reset the font.
Upon further inspection, it seems as if my font choice has been reset to default from Samsung Sans.
Camera firmware update, but I don't immediately see any changes.
When viewing photos in gallery or camera app, the date taken is shown briefly on the bottom left.
GPS location and Verizon location services have been merged into one option, it is no longer possible to disable Verizon location services if you want to use GPS.
Blocking mode, reading mode added.
Wifi notification can be disabled.
Play store updated to new sliding drawer, version 4.4.2.1 (this may have just been a coincidentally simultaneous update on my part).
There is a link in the app drawer to install KNOX, which looks like some sort of secure VM based on the text in the app.
NFL Mobile added (may have been in MI1 and I just didn't notice, but it is in my app drawer).
Contacts list is more compact (white space removed), you can now see approx. 9 contacts at a time. There is no scroll bar anymore, and the letters to quickly jump through the list are permanently visible.
Wifi location polling when wifi is off (as per Android 4.3).
Calculator is fullscreen (no status bar) with no way to change it, pretty sure this didn't happen before.
The stock music player can now play the mp3 files I have saved on the device. It always said that the files were unsupported beforehand, and I did not change them at all.
The dialer doesn't seem to lag as much when looking up contacts as you type (666 for "MOM"), but this might have come with the overall UI. It also doesn't lock up the phone for half a second when initiating a call anymore.
With Air View on, a few of the options in Developer Options are highlighted when hovering over them (not sure where this came from or why it is there, maybe testing for their 4.4 build, but I noticed it when going through the settings).
Clock app UI updated.
"Disable" in application manager is renamed to "Turn off."
That is all I can see immediately. I do not use stock launcher, keyboard, browser, or email so I did not check these.
Just quick question for those that got it, one of you said your font got reset did ajuthing else reset or get wiped?

My toggles got reset so they are out of position.
Auto correct for the stock keyboard and no ugly e911 location sign!

I'm sure sbreen will add it eventually, possibly with version 11?
Developer Option Reset
There is a bug with the new camera. I have all the animation and transitions set to off in developer options. Transition animation scale gets set to 1x every time the camera is launched. Super annoying.
Thanks for such a complete changelog!
Google Play updated on my VzwGS4 4.2.2 ME7 and now has sliding drawer.

We really cant make folders? I find favorites unusable.

on the desktop you can m8 just drag one icon into another,this will create a folder then simply long press,edit and rename,assuming this is what you mean,and remember this is still in beta
I'm guessing he's talking about folders in the app drawer itself, like nova launcher has. I found it to be remarkably convenient.

We are working on recreating the app drawer that will include folder support. Sorry about the delay.
