[Q] message ringtone - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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..

SMS / text message notification sound

When I go to the settings to change the incoming text message notification there's a list of sounds to choose from (like "alert1" "alertglass" stuff like that). I tried looking through the file explorer but couldn't find this folder, I was wondering if anyone knows where it is so I can put some of my own sounds in there to use as notifications? Thanks.
all the files are in \Windows. they are system files so you will need to tell explorer to show all files so you can see them. if you want to add more sounds just drop the file into \Windows.
they have to be wav format too don't believe mp3 works
i have been able to use wma and wav file for notification.
p.s. put ringtones in \My Documents\My Ringtones\
I managed to use my own sounds in the events and messages alerts, loading them in Application Data\Sounds

Can i ad mp3 as ringtunes and sms tunes.. please help!!

How to ad mp3 as ring signal and sms signal in diamond2??
Kind regards/ F
You must put them in your " My Documents " map
Then they should be in the list of all the standard ringtones
I think you can just add them to the root of the storage card, or personally I add them to My Documents\My Ringtones.
I think SMS alerts are slightly different. I find you have to add them to the \windows directory.
Hope this helps - my first post!
Cheers,

The ring tone can be of Mp3 format. Place the file in /mydevice/My Documents/Ringtones.
The sms alert tone MUST be in wav format. Mp3 format wil NOT work!
The sms alert tone (in wav format!) must be placed in the windows folder. E.g. /mydevice/windows.
Changing SMS alert tone is done in the following way on the phone:
1) Go to settings.
2) Press left soft key named advanced.
3) Select left soft key named personal.
3) Select sounds and messages.
4) Select number two tab named messages.
5) Select the new messages option and select the sms alert tone after own choice.
Changing ringtone is done in the same way with 5) being to select new call option.
On my D2 the audio files don't have to be .wav files. I use a normal .mp3 file as a text alert.
The only difference with my ringtone is that I have to place the text alert file in \my documents, whereas the files I use for my ringtone can be placed wherever I want.
Tones for sms must be in your Windows folder just put the tone you want in there. then go to sms tone and select.
trust me i have done it.....

For me it worked with SMS putting MP3s in Application Data/Sounds
I guess it deppends on the rom. I have the dutch one, and like I said: I have to place the files in the main \my documents folder.

ringtones/notifications from SD 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.

[Q] custom ring tones

So how do I set up custom ring tones on this phone? I see where I can pick the ring tone, but is it possible to have one of my own songs/sound clips, a ring tone?
For default ringtone:
On the home screen press menu>settings>sounds & display> voice call ringtone then pick your tone
For Option 1 for individual ringtones ( only works with contacts saved to phone i think)
go to contacts> pick your contact you want to change> long press until you get a menu> click edit and scroll until you see the ringtone setting
Option 2 (this is what i use because i use google and facebook contacts so i do not get a ringtone option under the edit menu for contacts)
Download ringdroid from the market (it's free). This will let you make custom ringtones from the music you saved on your phone. The music has to be under a certain file size but just play around with it (i use about 15 to 20 sec for a ringtone) Once you save the part of the song you want to play as a ringtone it will ask if you want to assign to a contact and go from there. Once you start making the ringtone i noticed they started showing up under the menu where the default ringtones are. (i'm assuming cause of the file sizes).
For txt message ringtone
click messaging>menu button>settings> and at the bottom of the menu you can pick a default message tone
For notifaction like email or other stuff
from the home screen click menu> settings>sounds and display> and notification ringtone.
hope this helps. i'm new to but i'm pretty sure i got everything right
Ringdroid is the best option. It lists all available music on your device and then you can select one to create a custom ringtone.

Stock ringtones are stored in /system/media/audio/ringtones/
User created ones are stored in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/
you can place your own .mp3's in the latter and when selected, the first 30seconds of the .mp3 will play for your ringtone.
other apps
you can also you zedge from the market, you can download ring tones and wallpapers... i use it some and it seems alright and "mp3 music download" you can use to search for music, seems illegal but i guess they haven't taking it down yet..and mabilo seems good to ...hopefully these are legit since i was using them some lol

ringtone and notification settings

I want to set some of my contacts to no ringtone (bill collectors) . I also want to use custom notifications on my text messages but I can only select a default list. the one I want to use I can see it and play it when i select ringtones.
I figured it out. you have to use a real file manager to move things around. I had download a silent ringtone too. I keep forgetting I bought root explorer. man this thing has a funky filesystem
