If you use the Android app called WearMedia you can push Mp3 and Ogg files to your watch to use as custom ringtones. Be sure to set your default upload directory to Ringtones on the watch tab, then choose the audio file you wish to push to your device. Once it is sent, restart your watch. After restarting your watch, go to Settings>Sound>Watch ringtone>choose your newly uploaded ringtone here. Hope this helps some of you.
Edit for less confusion:
To clarify, for less confusion, the ringtone choice is the 4th (last) option within the Sound setting. Be sure you choose your new ringtone within this menu and not to leave it set to Vibrate only. [emoji6]

Are you sure the file uploaded to your watch's Ringtones folder?

Yes. I even tried uploading them to the notification folder, still a no go. I updated to MM on Thursday night, don't know if that has anything to do with it.

It shouldn't. I'll do a step by step video here shortly of exactly what I do. Maybe were doing something differently.

Ok.
Edit:
Got it figured out. It was the last option. It was set on vibrate and I did not realize it was an actual setting for anything other than setting the type of vibration. You might not in your directions that it is bottom or 4th option under sound. Thanks for the find.
So using Wear Media, I also see watch folders for Alarms and Notifications....I can obviously add audio files to them both, but does anyone know of a way to select my custom sounds as the native watch system doesn't support selection.
Thanks,

Yes it is.
I also want the watch to sound for notications also without it vibrating. Looks like it only supports the ringtone.

Might need 3rd party support. Quick for wear supports that, but only for some apps.

I've done a lot of playing around with this and so far the only option I can think would be to do a system dump to find out the default filename die the notification/alarm tones and replacing them with adb. Still doesn't fix the fact that most notifications only come through as vibrations though. [emoji19]

I set the custom ringtone. Tried both MP3 and OGG. When I set them, they play nothing, except in the preview of what the tone sounds like. When someone calls, nothing plays, when using the custom tone. If I use one of the default ones, it works fine. I restarted both my phone and my watch, a few times.
I have yet to figure this out. Maybe there is a way to use adb to push the ringtone to the default folder where the ringtones are located. Anyone have an ideas?

Bit of a strange one.. When I try and set a custom ringtone for a call, I can't because it doesn't show any other than the system defaults but it does show the custom ring tones for all of the notifications such as text/email/system notifications...
Any ideas to why? If there is another topic for this please point me that direction for it?
No one else had this then? Just me?

This was an issue on my Motorola Milestone.
For me all I needed to do was create a folder called “ringtones” (all lower case) and it found them. Haven't had time to put them on the Atrix, but I'm sure it's the exact same procedure...

I have this folder, that's the bizarre bit. They show up under every other status ringtone selection other than the actual ringing tone menu lol?
U should try Ring Extended.. It works for me.. search on the market.
if you are using gingerblur / gladiatrix reboot the phone and you will see the ringtones. these scripts have an option enabled to stop updating some folders on the phone.

This is occuring on a non-rooted phone, and it was fine until I plugged it into the computer and unplugged it again and since I haven't been able to fix it lol.
And I don't want to use an app for a basic system function. I've managed to manually set it through winamp anyway now.
I am experiencing the same issue. I'll use a 3rd party app to assign a ringtone (like ringdroid or mp3 ringtone maker) and it use that ringtone for a while and then magically revert back to the the phone's default ringtone at some point.
I did not see the same folder structure I am used to on the evo3d for Ringtones.
I did find a \media\audio\notifications but I was only able to use these for Notifications like text messages. On my Hero I used to have a seperate ring tone for each person that calls on a regular basis. (Kinda nice not to have to look at the phone nad know how is calling).
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Are you saying that when you set that sound as a notification for, lets say text messages, it plays 6 six times instead on one? How long is the file? It shouldnt repeat for a notification. A ringtone or an alarm would make it repeat.

yeah it would say it plays six times. but when opened on a computer, it plays once. and the sound file is 2 seconds long...lol here:https://www.dropbox.com/s/h1wiotnhwn4spku/Spunky_Attitude.ogg?m
Yeah, it did it for me too. Weird. I went ahead though and changed it to a .wav file. It seems to work right now.

gotta love that little trash can robot. so you can use wav files in the system folders just fine then?
and thanks again. your posts have always been helpful.

I dont know about the system folder. But apparently you can in the notifications folder. lol. I have one in my notification folder that works so I thought maybe changing the .ogg file into a .wav file would work. And it did.
Hi everyone, I recently removed the stock music player due to the fact that I never use it, but it has created a conflict with me being able to change my ringtones. When I click the plus sign logo, it says "No applications can perform this action. Enable disabled built-in application?" I press OK, but nothing happens. I'm assuming because it needs the default music player to be reinstalled? So if anyone has the stock music player, please upload it or please assist me with how to fix this error. Thanks in advance.
use a ring tone maker app from the play store, or place songs in Ringtones folder so they can be chosen from settings.

not sure what model l9 you have but this should work. FYI you can get any app or etc from the kdz (look at my signature for the guide).
here's the LG G2 music player, I like its interface better, and it has the same functions. just push it to system and change permissions to r-w-r-r:

Cannot add rintone or notifaction sounds
I have the same problem, I removed the stock music app on my LG-F3 Android phone because it was interfering with my preferred player. Now I cant add Ringtones or sounds to my phone. It says 'No Application can perform this action. Enable disabled built-in application?' But there is no app to re-inable and I cannot find a copy of the stock app. Any able to help? The above apk. does not install on my F3 and the other link is no longer active.
Thanks.

Same problem, same phone. I don't know the cause - the stock music app has been disabled forever, but I always could still add new ringtones. This is all of a sudden, in the past couple days. If I click 're-enable' OK, nothing happens - I can click it again and again. If I go to the system Music app (under Settings ---> Apps), it shows as Enabled, but shows 0.00 KB as its size, and 0.00 cache, 0.00 data, - no nothing. I have lots in my Ringtones folder, but can't get to them, and no other Ringtone app seems to help. Re-installing the Android stock Music app didn't do any good, either.
Thanks

Wow, where did you find the stock music app to reinstall, I have been looking all over for it.
The only thing I found that works for using custom ringtones and notification sounds now is an app called 'Ringtone Setter' it is available from the Play Store, hope that helps you some, it is a roundabout way of doing it, basically it moves/copies the ringtones you want to it's own folder and assigns it from there, seems to work well once you figure it out.

Excellent, cheers for your help, Ringtone Setter worked a treat!
I found stock apps in a few places - I'm not sure at all if any of them are the right ones for our phone, but I just googled "LG Optimus music app". One I found was right here on XDA. I kinda don't trust the background of any of the other ones enough to post in an open forum, but I'll PM you two others that I installed on my phone and tried (to no avail) - they might work for you.
I have never had this problem with another device. My Google Voice is set to use data instead of the native phone dialer and that means the app has to ring when someone calls me. Unfortunately this ends up being my default notification sound just repeating endlessly. When I go to the ringtone list, there are no ringtones there, only notification tones to choose from. This is extremely obnoxious and while setting my watch to intercept notifications from Voice is a workaround, it's not ideal.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to no avail. I did find a video where someone had this problem on a Pixel but they were able to resolve it since the Pixel doesn't limit you to notifications or ringtones in the selection menu, both are readily available. This doesn't seem to be the case with Samsung though.
A possibile workaround is coping app your desired ringtone file into the notification folder from the ringtone folder. I accidentally added all my notifications files to the ringtone folder and they all showed up as possible ringtones so the same could work both ways I assume
