Does anyone know how to change the default ringtones. I know that if you add a folder called ringtones on sd card that they show up, but when you have your sd cards mounted they are not present. I have tried to place ogg files in the /system/media/audio/ringtone folder but it doesn't see them.
EDIT: Again I want to know what reads the folder /system/media/audio/ringtone/*.ogg and populates the ringtone select menu.
I know I can add into this with /sdcard/ringtones/*.* but again when sdcard is mounted these are invalid.
Create a ringtones folder under the /sdcard directory. That's where I put mine and the phone finds them.
There are 2 applications that'll do this for you you can download zedge from the android marketplace or ring droid both of these work great for me should check em out. Zedge allows you to download free wallpapers and ringtones. Ringdroid allows you to create ringtones from music stored on your phone.

I've pushed ringtones into /system/media/audio/ringtones and it works for me. So do they not show up when you put them into that dir? You can use mp3 also, doesn't have to be ogg.

Yes, they do not show up. I cannot recall if I did a reboot afterwards. Gonna try that now after getting comfirmation that it should read from there without anything else.
i made a directory called ringtones on the /SDcard/ directory
same for notifications if you want custom notification sounds.
and MP3s work fine. no need to edit or anything. any size seems to work for me

I searched the forums and have not been able to find a workable solution. I am currently on Cyanogen 4.0.4 and have a sdcard in which I have an audio-folder containing all audio resources (as well as some custom ringtones).
I want the Music player to ignore the folder. I tried by placing a ".nomedia"-file in the audio-folder (and it's subfolders) but this causes the phone to loose it's configured ringtones/notification sounds.
There is probably an easy way to hide all UI/ringtones and just let the music player have access to the MP3 folder (where all my songs are)?
move the files to system/sd
thanks. I moved them to /system/media/audio and it works. For anyone doing this, reboot your phone and be wait 1-2 minutes until the files appear in the ringtone selection.
Mine are in a folder called "Ringtones" on my SD card and they have always been ignored by music apps.

Totally worked, though I had it like that before but maybe that was before the OTA update & before this issue started.
Thanks for sharing.

I have already done similar with a ringtone but i want to customise the notification sound.
Hi everyone! this is my first post! I hope you can help me
I look in others threads and didn't find it.
What I want to do, is save my own ringtones on the telephone memory to able to pick any of those ringtones from the default list.
My phone is already rooted and I use the Root Explorer.
I know that the default ringtones and notification sounds are in
/system/media/audio (/ringtones or /notifications)
the music in the file are in ogg, so I convert my ringtones from mp3 to ogg
I fill all the information of the ringtone (artist - title - etc)
and put the file there. Then I noticed the permissions of the rest of the ringtones, so I changed too. And beside of that, it still not working.
I know that if I create a file with the name ringtones or notification in the sdcard I can see those ringtones from the default list, but that is not what I want. I want to be able to choose ringtones from the phone memory. It's doesn't matter if is not on the default list.
if any of you know how to do that, please help me
Thanks for the read!
and bye!
You can choose your ringtone through the music application.
I don't know about notifications..( I choose it through GO SMS app)

yes you can choose the ringtone through the music application, but the music aplication can read the music on the phone memory :S
I want to do this because i don't wanna depend on the sdcard to have the ringtone that I want.
but thanks!

You don't have to convert the file type from mp3 to ogg,, u just have to put that mp3 file in /system/media/audio/notification or ringtones. (remember to mount system permission as r/w).
After that, reboot your device and change ringtone through setting menu,,

ok.. I did the same thing.. used root explorer to copy the ringtone to the phone memory.
saved it in system/media/audio/ringtone
but my music player didn't show it..
so I deleted an existing ringtone "breeze.ogg" and renamed my file as the same . now the sound picker shows breeze but it plays the ringtone I made...!

I need longer alert sounds on the built in calendar app so that I can hear them. I have tried adding mp3 files to /system/media/audio/notifications but the folder won't accept them. I cannot find any way of calling sounds from another folder (eg the external card) within the app itself. How can I do this?
You need to be rooted to be able to copy files to the /system (and thus /system/media) folder.
If you are rooted, convert your mp3 to an ogg file with any audio converter and put the file in /system/media/audio/notifications and see if you can select it as your notification sound in the calendar.
Thanks, but I'm not rooted and wouldn't want to attempt to go down that road as I totally don't understand it.
Can anyone help me put in some useable alert tones please?

Thanks for your answer. But Music is the default folder for all my album's. Excluding that fact everything is mixed right now (every audio file). And i can't figure out a way to show the system which are the ringtones. So they show up on the ringtone list when i edit a contact.

Nope, doesn't work, is the only downside I see for this phone in almost a year with it.
