So after I removed the ringtones and notification file folders to make room for the new theme I missed the part where I no longer can access the ringtones. Do I only need to reinstall those folders or is there a better method?
You can download a program rings extended.
It will allow you to default it as your ringtone/sms/ selector.
It allows you to apply any tone from your card.
Thank you.
Thanx Mikey.
Or as an alternative you can download default sound zip and create ringtones and notifications folders on your sd card if they arent already there and place sounds in folders. Then phone will pick them up. Worked great for me : )

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.
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

Wow, what is this? Windows Mobile 6.5? Weird that there would be a size limit on ringtones. I still remember installing a cab to lift the ringtone size limit on my old blackjack II .

Yea there is a limit. Let's say you go to your playlist and try to set a song to a ringtone it gives that annoying 300kb limit size if the file you are trying to assign is larger than that.
It's att's attempt to get you to buy ringtones.

I just tried the old work around and it works...
Create a new folder on your sd card that contains the following folders:
media/audio/notifications/ringtones/alarms
Copy the files you want to use into this alarms and restart the phone. The added files should show up in your ringtones.

sweet thanks guys, i remember the old cab file to on my samsung jack lol i figured they would of gotten rid of this dumb crap by now.
I noticed this too. I used to make ringtones in the music player with the ringtone trimmer app, but you can't even do that now. Ringtone trimmer is in the system folder, but no dice. I just downloaded an app that would let me trim my own ringtones for now...
EDIT: Just noticed that if you go into phone ringtone in the sound settings and click "New Ringtone" you can set a whole song as a ringtone. You just can't do it from the music app....

on the internal or external sd card?
No Work around needed fellas, Go to the Personalize feature and then go to ringtone, when your on that that screen click new ringtone and find the one you want thats placed within the sd drive. Even within contacts when you select a ringtone for contact if you have Es file explore loaded and choose that to open the app you can select any song you want for each contact.
No work arounds, no cabs , just es file explorer and then selecting under personalize or People under apps.
I have now tried to copy my old ringtones to different folders but they do not show when I am trying to change my ringtone (notification tones works though)
In which folder do I need to copy these ringtones to?
Regards,

Should be /system/media/audio/ringtones. Try restarting phone after adding files to that folder so it updates it.
Edit: Well, actually didn't got it to work at all, tried to change permissions and everything but wasn't able to copy anything to that folder
But somehow when I copied some ringtones on my phone (I guess any folder is ok, for me it was Downloads-folder), there appears to be "local ring tone" option in the settings (Sound & Vibration > Phone ringtone > Local ring tone)
I ended up copying to /system/media/audio/ringtones and that worked.. But I saw the local ringtone option but was not sure what that was used for. But I see that was the best solution...
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.
