I'm trying to set custom notification sounds like when I get an SMS etc. I see a list of sounds I can choose from but I am unable to find these files when I search the contents of my htc (?)
Therefore I can't find where to put my own custom files to add them to the pulldown list.
Any help?

For SMS or MMS notification. Drop them into your \Windows Directory. I think there are type size restrictions but I don't remember them. Just drop them in And See.
Oh and By the way, you should search before you ask a question. The Natives get crappy when they see redundant questions.
Just put them in My Documents folder, preferrably on storage card, no size restrictions; you can even apply mpeg 4's as notifications

Hi
How do I assign my own music to an sms text alert? on my TyTN 11
copy and paste the tones you would like to use into the My Documents folder or Windows folder on your phone.
you'll find all the notification tones in settings>sounds & notifications>notifications. Select from the drop down menu and change The tone.
WTF?! When syncing to laptop or desktop, choose storage card preferably and put anything you wish in the ''My Documents'' folder. You might have to create this new folder if it's not present. Try googling your question next time finished with "xda"
Thanks Teh Reaper but I have done as you said and in sounds and notifications it still only allows the sounds that came with the phone
forget the copy n paste method, you have to be very exact where you paste it to, just put your audio or even video files in the My Documents folder from your pc
I had this problem as well when I got my Kaiser. Put the files into the Windows folder. This did the trick for me.
MyDocuments does NOT work for SMS or other notifications. Only regular ringtones work there.
Most likely you have to convert your SMS tones to wma before you are able to use them. SMS sounds didn't work as mp3 for me. There are lots of converters available on the web. Simply choose one.

No no no, you don't need any converters as long as they are mp3 or even m4 format, it'll read under settings from My Documents folder
For me, this doesn't work, as you described it. I tried this. My method works for me! It is just a suggestion.
My documents works for Every type of notification!!! Make sure its My documents from the storage card though
For some reason My documents from the device do not relate to sounds and notifications, again, try My Documents folder from storage card. I'm currently using a customized message for Every notification
Thank you
Thanks for your help in resolving issue.Works a treat.
1st time on thread for me,so thanks.
I might have asked this before, but I'm not getting answers anywhere. I really want to be able to have the Tilt access files directly from my micro SD card in order to use them as ringtones, alarms etc.. But every time I try and use a file for a ringtone, the Tilt automatically copies said file to the "My Documents" folder on the main memory. After a while, this is going to cause the memory to be depleted.
Secondly, even if I wanted to use files from the Tilt's main memory for rings and such, it seems there are redundant directories that can be used. But I'm not quite sure of exactly what kind of files should go where. In the Windows folder, there's a "Rings" sub directory. I've put my ringtones in there, and that works fine. They will also work from the "My documents" folder, as stated earlier. However, If I want to access files for use with MMS or text files or e mail alerts or alarms, I'm not sure of where to put them. I'm guessing that if I toss most of them into the main Windows directory, that will solve the bulk of it, but I don't think it works for alarms...
Can anyone help with these things ?
I believe alerts and alarms need to be a .wav file. While ringtones are able to be .mp3's. This is from my own testing a while ago..I could be wrong >.<
you can use .mid, .aac, .wav or .mp3 for ringtones. for ringtones, the files can even be placed on the memory card.
Alerts (such as those for text messages) have to be WAV files and they must be placed directly in the \Windows folder (no subfolder). If you cannot see the Windows folder on the root of your device, you will need to change your Windows Explorer setting to not hide System files.
Ringtones are stored either in the \Windows\Rings folder or the My Ringtones folder in My Documents.
You can find instructions on these forums on how to move My Documents to your Storage Card, however, which lets you store as many ringtones as you like in that subfolder.
Interesting. Thanks guys. So from what I've gathered from here and other forums, alerts and messages etc, definitely have to be .wav files. That stinks, but at least I know now, thanks. Secondly, I guess it would be of help to find that program which would store the my documents folder on the SD card.
Would anybody by chance know what that program/app is ?
One more thing. Is there anyway possible to get rid of the pre-installed ringtones and alerts etc from the Windows folder and such ? I'd love to free up that space and replace them with stuff that I make or find.
Thanks !

Alerts can be MIDI files also.

i just copied over the My Ringtones folder from My Docs to the storage card and popped in ringtones in there. seems to work fine and is discoverable.
Is there a confirmed app that works for this?
I got tone picker - great as a volume control but the chosen tone doesnt take and reverts back to what ever the original tone was.
tried rings extended and that crashes when you run it.
Is it a simple case of copy the mp3 file I want into a 'ringtones' folder in the root somewhere? Like you did on the ol' WM phones?
Cheers in advance

You do not need and app although there are several on the market that will do this.... to use your own ringtones you need to create a directory structure on the root of your sd card like this:
media/audio/alarms
media/audio/notifications
media/audio/ringtones
media/audio/ui
copy your mp3's to media/audio/ringtones and then they will be selectable in the normal way.
Oh this information is available in the posts already... using the search sometimes helps although in fairness there are a lot of posts to go through

On your sd card make sure you have a folder named "audio"
Then inside that folder make these 3 folders "alarms", "notifications", "ringtones"
Place your alert sounds in the folders.
New ringtone? "ringtones" folder
New message? "notifications" folder
New Alarm? "alarms" folder.
Obviously don't have the " " s when naming the folders.
Rings Extended
Mark you might also try the app called "Rings Extended". It's free and will let you pick any audio file for ringtones/notifications/etc.
Link to Cyrket page for the app:

Hi everybody!
I am trying to change my ringtone and notification. First of all I don't want google Play music to find music files when it is looking for files. Also, I was wondering if there was a specific directory to place files. Because I usually only use a file explorer to select it, but currently it is telling me its wrong file type and mp3. I wonder because by putting the files into the Ringtones folder, they seem to load by the standard selection method but all other notifications don't seem to work that way if they are in the notification folder.
* Someone please help me with this problem.

Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
Hi! You must create 2 directories with the names Ringtones and Notifications in the main storage. Then you put your tones in the folder that belong.
