Am I missing something here? On my nexus 5, all I had to do was add the tones to the alarms folder on the internal SD card. I've tried that with the moto X and they don't appear in the tones list. I've even tried putting them in the ringtones and notifications folders, no dice, even after reboots.
I've even tried Zedge, and while downloaded tones show up in the ringtones list for the phone app, they're not there in the clock app.
I'm not rooted so I can't add them to the media folder under system. Any thoughts, ideas? And I did search the moto X forums for anything with the word "alarm" in it and didn't see anything.
You can use a media player like Apollo. Long press on the track you want to use as the alarm and make it a ringtone. It'll then appear in the alarm tones list in the clock app.
Just a workaround I've been using ever since my days of running 4.4.4 on my rooted Galaxy S2.

I am fed up with stock x10 ringtones. Is there any way to use my own ring/alarm tones? Thanks
Of course, I use kiss ringtones from the market, a lot of beautiful tones you can download and directly set as ringtone or assign to a contact. Also you can download zedge, which is basically the same....
News ringtone made an app called ringtone player which you also can choose from your own music, don't know how it works, didn't try it as I am very happy with kiss ringtones

If you wont to use your own mp3s as a ring tone just download astro file manager. Find your music folder open it choose a song long press it you will get a pop called file opions choose music option then set as ring tone
Or just open the music file in mediascape then press the menu( left most hard key) button and select use as ringtone.

Create a folder on your sd card called audio. Create four new folders within that labelled...
alarms
music
notifications
ringtones
...any tones you put in the three tone folders will show up in the appropriate choice window, so any tones in alarms will show up when wanting to change the alarm tone, and so on.
Will test that too, didn't know, thanks for the advice. Cheers

I use an apparently called Ringo lite, put your mp3's in a folder called ringtones on ya sd card, you can then add them as ringtones or message tones, it even lets you assign different ringtones/message tones for each of your contacts

Hi all,
Just wanted to know how i can change incoming system sounds now my phone has been rooted
1) I want to be able to change SMS, Email, Alarm?
2) Wanted to know were to store/place ringtone files?
3) Does anyone know if the standard alarm have a snooze function?
After the above i want to change to custom icons

The alarm clock has snooze by default.
For my ringtones etc, I have a folder on my SD named Media and sub folders marked notifications, ringtones, alarms, wallpapers. The phone seems to be able to make sense of this and shows the alarms in the alarm clock etc.
To change ringtones etc you go into the app and press the menu button. You should be able to change the tones etc in there.
For changing ringtones and sms tones, you go into settings. (on your home screen press menu) go to Audio (or Sound/Notifications, whatever our may be) and there you'll have the options to change type ringtone and sms notifications.
Setting different tones for every audio requires you to go into that app and change the settings individually.

this has worked you have to create the folder in the phones memory not external SD card.
how do i customise notification for each item i.e. I want a different one for SMS, EMail, Voicemail etc.
but the options only allows for one notification for all?

You need to go into each app and in the settings menu there should be an option for notifications.

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...

I'm just wondering if there is a way to set a default volume and sound for the stock alarm clock, so when I set a new one those are already done? I'd be happy using it rather than ones from the market if I could do that. Had no probs setting alarms in s voice either, but it's pointless if I then have to change those two things.
I am rooted if that helps with a method?
Ok, it's me, Doofus again. Found a sering in build.prop. Will back it up and then try changing it. With regards to volume I've edited my alarm tune (Dream On, appropriate eh) with audacity sering up a huge fade in so that dude should now be fine. I'll post if the build.prop thing works.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
So so far editing the build.prop isn't working. I've also transferred a copy of the music file into the system file where the default used file for alarms is, but still not working. I've rebooted between each change.
Wondering if anyone had any other ideas?

Not yet but if we do, we'll sure to let you know.
Create an alarm and give it a name. In my case I created "work". Set the ringtone and volume that you want for that alarm. Any alarms you want to use can be dropped into the ringtones folder and will be accessible to the alarm program. Save it. In svoice ask for that alarm by name, in my case "work alarm on" it will show that alarm and time, if that time is good say yes and you're rolling with the tones and volume you set. If not say "Change time to "Xam" and it will ask if you want to make the change, say yes.
A work around but it does work.
Thanks for that. I hadn't thought of asking for an alarm by name and then being able to change it's time, all via s voice.
I did get it to do what I wanted, though in a roundabout way.
Firstly, I always use a particular song and with the alarm clock app I generally use have it set as an increasing volume alarm. I only need it fairly soft so I have the volume down pretty low. To do this first part I use Audacity on my laptop and used the Fade In effect twice to create my alarm.
I then renamed the song to the same name as the song/tone that is used as the default in the stock alarm app. Then using root explorer I replaced the original tone with my renamed song. Now any time I set an alarm it is set to my default sound and volume and I am most happy.

I'm using the stock message app, but my custom ringtones are not in the pick list.
Do they need to go in a specific folder? Is there an alternative to getting custom tones for contact?

You may need to set the permissions to the ringtone for them to be recognized. rw-r--r-. Hope this helps.
Put tones into ringtone, notification, and alarm folders, they will show up after a reboot.
Edit: if they show up, but don't play, fix permissions as stated above.
