you have to create a folder on yout SD card like this:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

Hi,
I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to use my music as a custom ringtone for my text notifications on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000.....
Can someone please help me?
Well you could use this app http://www.appbrain.com/app/ringdroid/com.ringdroid
OR the way I do it is just put files directly into the directory using root explorer *must be rooted* The path is system/media/audio/notifications
Text as SMS? Open text messages app and press menu,then select settings and scroll to ringtone.
You need musics in those directories as explained above.

thanks...the funny thing is, i had ringdroid all along but didn't realize it had that option....(lame, i know)
but i think i like the root explorer way since i usually make my ringtones on my computer..
Is there a way to keep some photos hidden but still keep them on the device? I will typically let people go through my pics especially my 3 year old but there are pics of other things that I don't want him or others to see.......
So, what is the best option?
Vaulty will hide them but it doesn't encrypt them. It just changes the file extension so the phone can't read it. But it would take a bit of a guru to look that far into finding your pics and will most likely be sufficient for you.
I personally use it.

Unfortunately, Vaulty force closes every time I select multiple pics..
Trying to hide those Scarlett Johansson pics, are we?
No, much much filtier
You can put a .nomedia file in any folders you don't want scanned by the gallery app, most other apps will skip these folders too, though some have an option to allow you to see them when you want. It won't encrypt them and they'll still be visible to file explorers though.

Hide it pro works great. And its free. Once you hide it, delete the pix out of your gallery. You can even hide apps.

Anything out there for video hide?

I settled for "Hide it pro" and it has video hide
Any that censors my wifey when she flashes me on skype when I am in a public place
As ind3p3nd3ntsaid, Should be able to drop a file named ".nomedia" into the folder you want hidden from media players and galleries. Has always worked fine for me.

How are you supposed to create this file without linux? Windows wouldn't let me do it.
I did it on my phone, just find a random text file, make a copy of it to desired location and rename it to .nomedia

I like this method, definitely going to try it out. I'm pretty sure none of my friends like to go rummaging around in my file browser... and if they do they will perish!
Am I missing something? Can I not add a custom right tone to a contact? I just switched over from my Droid X today and I came across this issue.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I believe the way to do it is if you open the Contacts app then click on the contact and when it shows their info, hit the menu key then select options and it should then give you the option to set a custom ringtone for that contact.
I've tried that but the only choices that are available are the stock ringtones that came with the phone I'd like to use an actual song from my music library as that contacts ringtone.

I noticed the same thing! I like to have different songs for different people, i don't want to be limited to the lame generic ringtones, i want Beck and Death Weather and QoTSA!
I just upgraded from a Droid X today and I able able to add custom ringtones to contacts then now on DB it doesn't seem to give you an option to do that I'm surprised

Might try adding the music files to a folder named "Ringtones" on the sd card. It worked for my portal 2 ringtones.

Files placed into: /Internal phone storage/media/audio/ringtones are usable as ringtones. If the folders already exist, just move your files there. If the folders aren't already there, you can use the pre-installed Files application to create them. From with the app, click Menu then New Folder.
Then do this keeping in mind that it needs to be done from the View Contact screen, not the Edit Contact screen:

I figured it out: I opened the music app then long pressed the song I wanted as a ring tone. The go to the contact select options and when the list of ring tones opens looks for the song title and hi-light the song done. Thanks to all of you for helping!!!!

I had some songs and alert tones that I put on the external SD card, and the system found them and added them to my list of available ring tones without me having to do anything.
have had no issues with custom ring tones and alerts.
Thanks. That also worked for the notification ringtone.

I guess this is just another method that works again I'd like to thank everyone for there input

Check out "Rings Extended" in the app market. Once installed it operates in the background. Assign a ringtone as normal, but when you do you get the option to use Rings Extended. It will let you choose any music on your phone.
Hi all, just a quick one, does anyone know how to set a custom text tone? I've got an mp3 file, I've messed around with file explorer and placed it in media, audio, notifications and also created a notifications folder but it's still not being recognized in the settings as a choice for notifications.
I'm not rooted.
It's odd because I can see the Facebook pop sound in the notifications folder I'm trying to put this file in.

Ps-original file I'm trying to use is a voice memo if that makes any difference

I downloaded some sounds off zedge and had to move them to the /media/notification folder and they did not show up, after restarting my device they were there.

Hi all, I updated my phone with the 6.0.1 OTA the other day and it ended up bricking my phone and I had to factory reset and lost root access. Is there a working root method for marshmallow? I haven't been keeping up since I originally rooted the phone last year. Sadly, all I want to do is to be able to copy a new ringtone to the notifications folder, but I need root access for that.
Hi there. You don't need root for custom ringtones. Put your sounds under the folder "Ringtones" and they will populate on their own under notifications.
As for root possibilities, it's very unlikely for our verizon flavored s6. I've been monitoring this forum for a while and I love our little community but I don't see active developers...

Thanks, I added the mp3 to the ringtones folder and I see it under the ringtones settings, but I want to use the sound for notifications, hangouts, groupme, whatsapp etc... I think I either need to place the file in the notifications folder, or I need the .ogg file instead of .mp3
Ahh, found a solution. Downloaded a ringtone app (zedge) which luckily had the sound I wanted and was able to install it.
Nice! Alternatively, you can create a folder called "Notifications" and put your files in there. It might already exist.
