Hi guys,
I was wandering why cyan keeps messing with the alarm clock. One update he will have 2 sounds, the next (4.3) has only the crappy non hearable buzzer sound. Also his ROMS only allow up to 10 alarms to be set. I'm a hard sleeper takes more lol. I was wandering if it was possible to use the original alarm clock used in donut and if so where can I get it from.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Go into system/apps and replace old with new and reboot.
Please provide me with a link to do so.
Thanks,
Nick
You can add notifications...
no u can't.
only sound notification is the buzzer sound.
Yes, you can.
/system/media/audio/notifications/

or:
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
because adding to notifications they may not show in the alarm clock app.

Entirely unnecessary, if you have them in the correct structure, they won't show in your media player.
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/ui
that is how Android expects to find them, and if they are like that it won't pick them up in the music player.
Thank you all for your help. All the info I needed has been provided. Thank you for the link to the audio files.

I dunno if this is the right thread about my problem, but it has to do with the alarm clock.
Some how when i goto pick my alarm i have the default Buzzer sound along with 3 other of the same name. and ive searched the sdcard and the root sys for the these files but fail to find them.
what started it was i tried to download a ringtone through the browser and could never find it on the system or in the ringtones list... some how they ended up in the alarms list.
and help would be great
I recently upgraded to JH7, and realized that I can no longer use my own specific audio files as ringtones anymore...its only letting me use the stock ringtones.
When I go to Settings > Sound and Display > Voice call ringtone , the only ringtones I can choose from are the ones that came with the phone. It's the only thing that pops up. Theres nothing for me to click anymore that lets me search my android system for audio files.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I never noticed a way to browse for ringtones. What I did was create two folders on the internal storage.... one called ringtones and one called notifications. I placed my sound files in those folders, disconnect USB then I can see them in the list of choices when selecting a ringtone or notification sound.

Did you maybe apply the GPS fix that results in media scanner FC'ng? From what I can work out that is the kind of thing media scanner does on boot or remounting of the sdcard, it scans for media to add to the various areas so if it isn't running that would explain why the custom ringtones aren't showing up in the list.
Alternatively you could use My Files to browse your sdcard and set the ringtone that way.

Can you plug your phone into the computer, choose mass storage, then pull the notifications down to choose "mount" then use Windows explorer to see internal storage?

No, I have no GPS fix installed. The only thing I have is the I897UCJH7 by designgears and root.

When viewing internal storage in Windows Explorer, Do you have a notifications and ringtones folder at the root? If not, create them and drop sound files in there, unplug and try again. If you already have them, see if you are able to rename the existing files or drop new ones in the folers, unplug and try again. Also try restarting the phone. If that doesn't work, I am not sure what else to do, sorry.
under /sdcard/ there should be media folder
create the following directories if they don't exist:
Code:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications/
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms/
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/
Drop the audio files you want into those specific directories and they will appear in the chooser when you're in settings.
I'm having a problem with ringtones in contacts. Not able to set custom ones for contacts. Well I can set em, they just aren't used. The general ringtone is used. Idk, bout to wipe again. Any suggestion?

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think there was ever an option under "Settings > Sound and Display > Voice call ringtone" for custom sounds. I vaguely remember not being able to find it there either when I first got my phone in July. So I'm assuming the update from last week didn't "remove" this. I think the only way to set a custom ringtone is to apply it to individual contacts in the Contacts app.

I had thought the same thing a few times because I simply forgot to click Save after I chose the actual ringtone on my SD card. What happened was that I went to my contact, then I set a custom ringtone and I assumed by choosing it that I was good. But then I mistakenly hadn't clicked Save before I backed out of the Contacts app so it defaulted back to the default ringtone.
Not sure if you did the same thing as I did. Just wanted to put it out there.

Thanks, but I have saved many times with many different ringtones. In t their contact info, I can se the ringtone is set for phone, google, ect, but when they call, I get to ear the standard ringtone. They are all f ringtones I got with the zedge app. Idk.
Uhh, this thread is really old, but I found out how to bypass this problem.
If you use a the app Ringdroid (free) you can use it to set ringtones. Apparently it actually adds them to your ringtone folder because the show up in the settings menu afterwards.
Yeah. Ringdroid is all you need...

My problem was with the first rooting process saving all of your settings as they were and not letting you change them. Wifi, ringtones, gps, everything.
like that title states notification for text wont sound tried changing the sound nothing all others work tho ringtone for voicemail everything. just cant figure it out.
Just to cover the basics,
Did you do the following:
1) Go to Settings, Sound, Volume and make sure everything is up?
2) Under Settings, Sound and in the Feedback area, make sure that all the appropriate options are selected?
3) Reboot the phone?
4) Use the volume switch on the side to go to completely silent and then push it back up?
Are your mp3 files playing?
Sent from my captivate running firefly!
yep ive done all that stuff mp3 files will play even when im selecting a new tone on the msgs it plays there just wont play when i get a msg. i am using zedge if that helps
the email ringtone that i set for my msg ringtone worked ugh this is pissing me off.
Are you on a custom ROM? I guess it is possible this is a side effect of a bad flash. Might want to try reflashing whatever ROM you are on. Make sure you backup first, but when you restore don't restore system data. Part of that system data could be your problem and you would just be restoring it, thus putting you in an endless loop.
i am on a custom rom continuum v4 but ive been using this one for almost 2 months
If you have root explorer or another file system app, check in your system\media\audio folder. Under the notifications folder, see if you have anything in there. I have had a bad flash wipe my ringtones before and had to download some I wanted. Just a thought
Try this : go to Messaging/menu/settings. The VERY last option will set your sms tone.
well it started working when i did that i noticed it was really low so when it played i turned the volume up and it started working

Thanks this works for me with the same problem. Good thing there's the search bar!
So I NEVER used my phone on sound mode, only vibrate. Now i started using it with sounds due to some circunstances, and i wanted to change a notifcation sound, and it won't just change, and keep playing the old one. Strange thing is I go back to the notifcation sound list, and it says the sound i want is checked.
Anyone had a similiar problem and can help me?

failing all else
identify which ringtone is being set in default
rename the ringtone which you want, to that one
and then replace it in /system/media/audio/notifications
i know its a roundabout way, but thats the only way i can think of
Change the default sound then ..Set it in build.prop
Insert witty sentence here
So no way to get it working or what is causing the phone option not to set it?

Let me try to give more info:
I set any other sound and it isn't working.
Number 1 question: does the file needs to be in .ogg? I tried both .ogg(stock notification sounds that come with phone) and aren't working. The tone stays the same.
Number 2 question:
I have system/media/audio/notifications - If I go to Settings -> Sound -> Notification Sound, it scans this folder, either .ogg and .mp3, it shows the files.
I have on the ROOT of the sdcard a folder called Notifications - If I go to Settings -> Sound -> Notification Sound, it scans this folder, either .ogg and .mp3, it shows the files.
I have a sdcard/Media/audio/notifications - Not showing at all in Settings -> Sound -> Notification Sound list.
Does the folders confict on some way?

NVM this topic I know whats happening. Since I never used Sound on my phone, I though Settings - sound - notification would include SMS etc, but seems own stock SMS app has his own notification sound. Sorry for the time wasted and ty for all the help!
is there a way to do this on a locked, unrooted phone?
The T-Mo stock choices are awful and annoying.
I have had very good luck with an app called Ringdroid. You can use any recording/song you'd like, select the portion of the song you want to use and save it as a ringtone. It can then be used as your default ringtone or you can make custom ringtones per caller(s).
thanks. I'll look at that.
You can put audio file in /sdcard/Ringtones and restart the phone.
thanks, stumbled on the restart element of that yesterday.
