Does anyone know how to add your own ringtone and notification sound files? On my previous phone, I could just drop mp3s in the Ringtone and Notifications folders in the sdcard folder. Adding them here doesn't seem to make them show up in the menu to choose them, and the "add ringtone" interface seems to only pull from songs in the music folder. Anyone have more success than me?
I just dropped the files in the ringtone/notification folders and they showed up fine for me in the respective sound settings menus.

Wierd... Chalk it up to user error... Tried it again and it worked.... sigh. Thanks for the reality check.
For some reason, the silent ringtone mp3 that i dropped into the notifications folder doesn't show up in the list of tones. I dropped the same file into the ringtones folder and it shows up on the list. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Is there any way to change the notification sound for text messages to a .wma file I copied to my SD card? When I go into the settings to change the text message notification sound, the sound I want to use doesn't show up amongst the possible choices. However, if I go into the menu to change my ringer sound, the five .wma files I placed in a folder I created (named "Ringtones") on my SD card DO show up. How can I make them appear amongst the text message alert choices? Is there any possible way to do this?
Thanks,
Dennis
Nevermind - I figured it out! I just placed the file in the "Media" folder (I think that's what it was). Now, it shows up in my alert sounds list.

Is there a way to change the default sound to something other then the pre-loaded HTC sounds? I was able to change the phone ringtone to a song on my sd card. When going to settings, phone ringtone there is a new ringtone button which let me choose whatever I want but when I go to the default sounds I do not have that option. The only option I get is, get more, which takes me to the HTC hub. I tried ringdroid and made a ringtone but it don't show up. I also installed tone picker but it doesn't show up either. Another strange thing is, I am using handcent and have a mp3 selected within handcent but when I get a text it uses the default notification instead. Anyone else having this problem?
I had similar issues. I used HTC Hub to download a new ringtone package, and found out that it just over writes everything I may have had selected.
I've had to go in and redo my ringtone and message notifications a few times, mostly after I hook it up and enable SD storage on the computer.
If I have someone call or send a text message while its hooked up as storage, it changes EVERYTHING back on mine to the stock sound settings.
Ok what i did with mine was use astro file manager to take whatever mp3s i wanted for notifications and copied and pasted them into my notifications folder which will be located in your media folder,open astro click sd card then click media then audio then notifications and paste whatever you want to hear for notifications sounds in there then when you go to your list they should show up and work like a charm.
I think I did that with a file manager and it still didn't show under Notification sounds. You need to hit set as once the desired file is highlighted and set it as a notification that way.
Use Zedge. Its a free app and you can select it as default instead of using system. Works wonders!

Menu --> Personalize --> Notification Sound
This is where you can change the default notification sound as well as the sound for the email app, the messaging app, and the calendar.
This took me awhile to figure out. A new feature of Sense 3.0. Possibly introduced in Sense 2.1. Not sure. But different than the EVO either way...

how to set mp3 or ogg files as text message notification?
my mob is rooted on latest stock fw, i did put my ogg file in system/media with root explorer with permisions set correct but stock tones only work after selecting my new tone. new one will not play?
any apps to bypass this..
basicly i have a r2d2 soundboard app from the market that lets me select ringtone/notifications. battery low tone works and sounds wiked buts texts dont. so i tried to manualy move the .ogg to the system notifications folder and set permisions, but like i said.. it wont play. stock tone replaces it.
i want R2D2 becuase it fits with my droid. nuff said
How about Settings > sound > Notification ringtone? I'm using CM7 so im not sure if that applies for u, havent used stock rom for ages.
I use GO sms so it comes with a sound choser, I can select any of my sound files that are available in the phone/sd card using it.
P.S. There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. xD (quote from southpark)
yes i have Settings > sound > Notification ringtone. but after selecting R2D2, it will will be a stock tone when a text comes thru. i didnt want any apps as i thought i could do it with root explorer.
No need for any app buddy.
make folder in your sd card like media/audio
And for custom notifications, make a folder inside audio called notifications and for ringtones,make one called ringtones.
so it will look like media/audio/ringtones or notifications.
Hope that helps..!!
Yup, as side_effect said. But for some reason notifications are played quieter than tones, so if you have a program like Audacity on your desktop you should increase the volume of the track before you put it on your SD Card.
Hello how can I extend the sounds offer of builtin sound selector by own sounds?
For ringtones copying to /sdcard/ringtones or /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones is working pretty fine, but for SMSs and various notifications the offer is still limited to builtin sounds only. Don't know where should I copy my own sounds so they could be covered in that file listing,
Both /system/media/audio/notifications and /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications don't make any recognition (
As an alternative to this I'd accept an 3rd party audio picker able to browse any sdcard locations and select any of supported formats. The condition however is so that it could play a sound immediately after selecting just like builtin picker does...THX

didnot know that, thanks:victory:
Just copied my old sounds to the ringtone and notification folders in the phones memory but when I go to change ringtone etc they don't show in the list ????. Yes I know I can navigate to them. Worked perfectly on my s7edge. Are these folders now ignored ?
Thanks in advance
