Replacing notification sounds - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Does someone know where i can find the notification sounds and how to replace them with my own recorded sounds ?
When i connect the phone to my pc and go to the main storage, i can't find ANY sound files at all.....
I dont like the standard notifications like "postman" for my mail. I want to replace the sounds......

Root required ..
System Media Audio Notifications
Format is OGG .

as far as i know you don't need root.
make directory in SD card called "media"
inside media directory make a "audio" directory.
inside audio make 2 more folders: "notifications" and "ringtones"
put notifications in notification folder and ringtones in ringtone folder. format can be mp3,wav,mp4,ogg,etc. default system notifications should get sounds from the "notifications" folder.

It worked.
Thnx all

Now to convert midi/poly ringtones to wm 2003 format

There is a utility called PSMPlayer which can save a regular MIDI file as a Ringtone. This saved MIDI format is compatible with WM2003.
how to do it:
1) open psmplayer
2) file> open > locate a midi file on your system.
3) play it to see if it sounds ok
4) click the RED circle icon
5) give the poly ring tone a name
6) tick the box "ring tone mode"
7) click ok, this will ask for a place to save the file to. Then click save
8) close program
9) copy the file you just made to your windows/rings dir.
there you go, a working poly ringtone
PS thanks to sheran_g for the link to the proggy
but somehow the files don't sound good? like the speaker breaks up or something?
Yeah i got the same thing..
they dont sound good and sometimes they are change to a lower Volume very low.
Any Ideas???
:?
yeah me too,
Can anyone (developers included) create a guide to have GOOD sounding polyphonic ringtones on the xda ???
Free Burgers* waiting
*meat flavour :wink:
This seems like a shortcoming in the Qtek/XDA. There are only 6 fixed instruments on it. When creating your ringtone, you need to figure out what the instruments are so that you get the best sounding tone. Also, there seems to be no volume regulation so that's why it sounds really bad (as if your speaker is going to blow :wink: )
In my personal opinion, WM2003 midi ringtones have a loooong way to evolve yet.
I use 2 programs from acoustica.com pull out about a 10 second piece of a midi file and convert it to a wma file and then stick that in the rings folder. It's about 12k in size and sounds great! Good luck! - Jim
may one ask what the two programs are you use from accoustica?
I cant find any that say about midi..
cheers,
Ian.

i use ringo mobile for that. wav, mp3, aac, ogg, wma ... no problem for ringo making as ringtone or sms... i manage my ringtone groups with ringo. thats more comfortable =)
just copy any mp3,wma in the windows directory and then select it from settings>>sounds and notifications>>notifications, then choose event and assign a sound

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I am not mistaken, I think that only wav works for SMS. mp3 or wma works for incoming calls only
Here are mine if you are looking for some "inspirations"
well if you ever saw the movie eurotrip, you may enjoy this .wav/.mp3 file
enjoy lol
EDIT: I have a .wav for an alert tone, and .mp3 for my ringtone (not this mp3 but something else)...and everything is on my SD card (in the root directory, never tried hiding it in a folder)
EDIT SQUARED: I uploaded another .zip file, it has two mp3 ringtones that i use, my email notification noise, and two other .wav files (the old and new SNCF tone)

(solved) how to change message notification sound?

Hi guys!
Just wondering how to change the sound which is played when a sms comes in ( or email or calendar and so on) to one of my own mp3 sounds ( not just a sound preinstalled with the phone from that list in the sound settings)
Greets felikz
So how was it solved?
Apologies, answer was in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542151&highlight=change+notification+sound
And you can use mp3's for notifications, just enable SD card notifications, place your file in the sdcard/media/audio/notifications directory then bounce (reboot) your phone.
Create the directory if you don't already have it. Other useful directories are /alarms and /notifications.

[Q]Ringer Volume Beeps Disable?

Hi there,
Is there anyway of disabling the beeps that sound when i change the volume via the volume rockers? I find them really intrusive and annoying.
I have searched the ogg files in /system/media/audio/ui but they don't appear to be stored there. Does anyone know where they are?
Thanks!
I would be interested in this as well. Is it possible?
Me too! Anyone?
Me 3 anyone?

On same boat...
It seems like Samsung have changed the stock beeps so you can now disable them (this works on KG6 i don't know about others)
However you can't just delete the ogg file or it will cause FC's
If you navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Rename TW_Volume_control.ogg to TW_Volume_control.ogg.bak
Then add a new silent ogg file in calling it TW_Volume_control.ogg
Then Reboot the phone.
The volume beeps will be no more!
I've uploaded a silent ogg file here. Or you can make your own very easily

Same here.

Setting an Mp3 as ringtone or notification tone - Cyanogen7

Maybe I searched the wrong keywords...
I can't seem to set an Mp3 as my ringtone as I just recently flashed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205141
Any ideas?
EDIT: Turns out you have to put the mp3's you want into folder on your SD card named "ringtones" and it'll show up on the list. Alternatively download ringdroid
