Hi, so I have a phone and it's not standard android based. It has no preview for selecting sounds.
It's lenovo and it has it's own private theme center which doesn't allow outside sound files.
So I was wondering does anyone have a link to an apk which will allow me to preview sound clips when I am selecting them from the choose ringtone menus. I have ES Explorer and it only allows me to select files, but not preview them.
Because the internet is so vast I am not sure what an effective search term would be to give me the results I need.
I've tried and I've ended up with ringtones you can download, how to delete the stock ringtones, issues with them not responding etc.
Ahh I believe I may have answered my own question:

There is however an issue is that it only load from the Ringtone folder.
It doesn't load the notification folder.

I was just wondering if anyone had found out a way for custom text message tones
You can simply add some wave file to your Windows folder and chose it via options.
But I wonder if there was any better way to set MP3 or WMA files as SMS and Alarm Clock Ring tones. For example it would be great if Windows allowed to browse for them via standard options.
i converted a file to .wav and put it into the "My Sounds" folder but it wont show when i go to sounds options to set up my "new text message" sound.

Try copying them to Windows Folder instead.
And also you can use my newly developed application in the following link :

Hope you enjoy my friend.
Where can I configure sounds to be different for email vs sms/txt messages?
When you open email and go to settings you will be able to set whatever tone you want and the same applies to sms (again go into settings)
Thanks. What do you guys use as notification noises?
Use anything you want. Google "Zedge" they have hundreds on there and you'll be spoilt for choice, and its free.

Greetings.
Just recently I flashed my Wildfire with Cyanogenmod 7 and so far it's an awesome ROM, although I miss a few things from Sense.
Just yesterday I noticed that on my Cyanogenmod 7 I can't seem use custom ringtones. Let me explain.
I deleted all the profiles and only the Default one is present and selected, it does not override anything.
Then I installed "Rings extended" because that seemed to work really good on stock ROM and selected to use it as the default ringtone picker.
It works fine, but the problem is, when I go to "Setttings -> Sound -> Phone ringtone" and select my ringtone using "Root explorer", or any other option available, it does select it and I can play it when I tap it, but it DOES NOT play when someone is calling me - instead it plays the first system ringtone.
Same thing happens with the notification sound and an SMS sound (Messaging -> Settings -> Notification settings -> select ringtone).
Now I tried to create a "ringtones" folder and "notifications" folder and put my rings there. The system ringtone picker detects them but again - does not play them.
So I have no idea what is wrong with it, maybe they needs to be in some special format or something...?
Ok, I managed to sort this myself. I got an idea what to do while I was writing the first post
Seems the problem was with me deleting the Android player, which was not deleted on my stock rom.
When I installed the Cyanogenmod 7, I removed all the useless google apps, including the Android player which was useless to me and it seems that it was responsible for custom ringtones as well.
I installed the one that I found on the market, used it to select my ringtone and everything is fine now!
Brilliant suggestion
I just flashed my HTC T-Mobile G2 (Desire Z) with CM7 and I ran into the same problem.
A quick search online brought me to your post and after following your advice, I end up having my ringtone back!
Great suggestion, thanks!
Hello, Iam the owner of a Verizon (USA ) Samsung S6 Edge Plus...

please any can tellme where its the notification sounds on my phone? because I try to add new notificacion sound but the phone don't givme an option to select a mp3 file ( like when I add some tone ring )... I try to find the folder where its the notifications sounds, but I cant find it...
I now the notifications original sounds its a .ogg files, but in all my samsungs olds phones I can add some notifications sounds like mp3 files.... please any help on this ?
thanks
I had the same issue with this phone. I found the easiest way was to use the Ringdroid app. I opened my file, then saved it as either a ringtone or notification (or both). Then it was inserted into the Samsung listing for notification & ringtone sounds. Tried importing my original ringtones, but like you, couldn't find the folder where they were located.
I use Ringtone Maker from playstore to create custom notification sounds from my music files. It lets you edit the song and you can save it as the default notification sound or ringtone.
thanks both for your help on this.... I use today the two apks....
One of the things I find frustrating about android is the way the ringtone and notification sounds are picked. My problem is that I have made a collection of sound bites. Each sound bites has three different edits depending on what the purpose is. I differentiated each edit by storing them in different folders. I'm using an LG V20 and it just gives me a gigantic list of sound files. I would very much like an option to brows the filesystem to pick a ringtone. Cirtain file system apps allow you to do this however their functionality is limited. For example they Wouldn't let you set notification sound or ringtones for specific numbers. Does anyone know of an app that lets you simply browse the filesystem to pick a ringtone. Perhaps this would be a good project for me to learn a little about programming. Thanks.
