Hey guys, I'm having a little problem with this app. So I tried to open an mp3 file to set it as my default ringtone but Rings Extended is not one of the choices that appears on the list. I'm using Linda File Manager.
if you use linda to create the right folders on the storage card and enable sd card notifications you can choose an mp3 stored in there.
I found tone picker a better app than rings extended.

One quick question, How can put the songs I have on my wing as ring tones? Is that even possible?
ring tones
well what i had done was to install the ring tones on the sd card. within the root directory or the main directory and wm6 was able to find the ring tones there without having to alter windows in any way shape or form. once there when you go into your phone, then options, then to where you select your ring tones there are all the ones that you had placed on the card

So i had a few ringtones/notification tones "mp3s" that used to work on my rooted G1 and my rooted MyTouch. I picked up the Nexus one the other day rooted and now i want to put a notification from the SD card in gmail and a ringtone from my SD card. The problem is when i go to settings, then sound and display, then phone ring tone or notification ring tone the tones are not there. also going into gmail and trying from there to no dice. the music player can play these tones and i can see them from Astro file manager. any ideas?
Nexus one rooted
cyanogen 5.0.4.1-N1
amon-ra 1.6.2
radio 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2
Don't know if it keeps it in the list, but in your music player, go to the song you want to make a ringtone and longpress on it and when the menu popup comes up select "set as phone ringtone". Hope it helps!
yeah i tried that for the ring tones as a workaround but still cant get a tones in gmail. but thanks for the suggestion.
Well, notifications are in /system/media/audio/notifications I do believe, you're rooted, through the mp3 in there?
i tried doing that in astro file manager but when i go to drop the files in there the paste and or move is grayed out. i check in terminal if i infact have root and i can SU
on my SD card, i created an audio folder (parent) and subfolders (children) for alarms, notifications & ringtones, placed my tones in the respective folders, rebooted the phone and they appeared in the selection lists.
yup same here but they dont appear in the list, but music player sees them weird
Ok i figured it out, so for what its worth the folders and subfolders have to start with a capital letter. i just renamed my "audio" and "notifications" folder on my SD card to "Audio" and "Notifications" rebooted and they now appear in the drop down list.
Now i wonder why i cant write in system/media/audio/notifications folder, in astro file manager all the edit menu options are grayed out.
Hey there u all.
I have the following problem ,how can i put an imported ringtone in the incomming sms alerts .
I have got them on the , sd card but can't get them attachet to sms.
Yo need to create the following Directory on the SD card...
Media\audio\Notifications
Then copy your tone into that DIR and it will appear as an option within the notifications options
Note: it will also appear in your music player, to avoid this, you need root access and root explorer or similar, then copy your tone to...
System\media\audio\notifications
play the music file in Music Player then Menu Key -> Set As
or Install Handcent SMS, then you'll notice that when you go to Sound and Display settings -> Voice Call/Video Call/Notification Ring tone there will be a "Select Music" option, you can then browse for music files in your system..
I've tried to add additional ringtones from an SD Card. When I add them through the menu in sounds settings for Phone Ringtones, there seems to be a limit on how many I can add. Any ideas?
Make a folder on the root of your SD card titled "media" in that folder create 2 new folders name "notifications" and "ringtones"
Place the mp3 ringtones in the folder you want it in and they will show in each specific type you put it in. I have over 150+ ringtones in my ringtone folder.
Thanks.
Thank you. I had them in a folder titles My Ringtones from the WM folder of the previous phone. Works now.

Hi, I am having a different issue with ringtones. I have created two folders on the SD card called “Ringtones” and “notifications” and copied mp3’s there. I was then able to set the ringtone (default as well as custom for different contacts) and message notifications. Everything worked fine until I connected the phone to the PC and set the USB mode to HardDrive. Once I did that all the ringtones and notifications reverted back to default. I am guessing this happened because the phone is unable to access SD card while it is in the HD mode. So I created the same folders in the root of the phone and moved the mp3’s there. Now when I connect the phone to the PC and set it to HD mode, all the individual ringtones for different contact are kept but the main ringtone and message notification is still being reset.
Can anyone suggest what else I can try?
Thank you.
I'm trying to load bespoke notification tones to some of my apps. Most are working, but I can't add a sent mail tone to Outlook or some of my SMS apps. The only option I get when trying to do this is the stock notification tone list, but I can't find a way to add bespoke tones to this list.
Any solutions out there?

If you use an sd card, you can create folders named "Notifications" and "Ringtones" on sd card and put the ringtone/notification files you want to add in them. The phone will find these folders and files will show in lists of choices along with preinstalled options.
(Works on s7 anyway.)
Android can be a fickle beast sometimes, make sure you have the correct format saved in the correct folder. I usually use .ogg saved in notifications for general purpose. To test place them in in notifications/ringtones.
