If you're rooted you can use xposed module to change default paths.
There's info on a collection that I've compiled here.
Thanks,
Is there any option to do in non rooted mobile

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.

/notifications
/ringtones
/alarms
Is it possible to specify via xml or whatnot the what a default program should be or whether or not a program should be set as default from the get go?
For instance, if i don't want to remove rosie.apk but i want golauncher to be selected by default upon first boot.
Thanks

IT is possible. But I don't know how, sorry...
The default path is "/mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots"
I would like to change this to the external card or custom location.
Does anyone know where I can do this?

Hi, I'm currently working on a custom rom. I have modded build.prop and now I would like to change the default settings for the rom. For example I would like allow install from Unknown Sources to be checked at first boot and some other stuff. My question is where in the system are these settings stored? I need to find the files so I can edit them. Please help
You could try decompiling the settings.apk abd search in the apk for default settings, don't know

Will try this when I get home.
I have a Lenovo S939 (Android 4.2.2, rooted) and the setting to change the default notification sound is missing. Is there a good app that can be used to browse all system settings and make changes directly (something like regedit in Windows)? Or can this setting be changed in the file system by editing some preferences file? If so, how can I find it?

No settings to change that? That's crazy...I've worked on 100s of phones and have never seen that... But the build.prop found in /system typically has the "code" that points to which file to use for the default sounds.
Thanks, checked the file and found this line: ro.config.notification_sound=HeavenNearby.ogg
If changed, will this be picked up on reboot?

Yes. Make sure to make a backup of your build.prop first and that the permissions are still 0644 before you reboot or you'll have to restore the entire phone.
I have changed it to another sound file in the same directory and rebooted, but the sound stayed the same, unfortunately.
Edit: I have "fixed" it by copying the desired sound file over the default one.
