These ringtones and notification tones were ripped from the LG Optimus 2X phone. They are actually pretty kick-ass and hopefully you like (most of) them as much as I do.
Installation Instructions (extract the zips) (not flashable)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Create a ringtones folder and a notifications folder on your SD Card
2. Copy the ringtones & notification tones from the download into the newly created folders
3. Use Root Explorer or File Expert as root (free in market) to copy them to /system/media/audio/ringtones & /system/media/audio/notifications
Alternatively you could use ADB to push them to the same locations from your computer.

Great post, thanks!
Thanks for the extras. I'll add them to my collection.

The problem is that most of the phone developers LG, Samsung, etc put their own ringtones on the device but they don't bother to name them anything unique in the .ogg tags. You might have 3 different sound files of guitar sounds but the .ogg tags are all called Guitar so it appears as if you have duplicates (even though they are 3 different sounds).
That is the case with these sounds. They share some of the same names in the tags with the stock sounds. I'm working on sorting them and retagging some to add to my collection.

Do you have an ETA on when your going to upload your collection ?
Still working on the sorting. I have them converted to ogg and tagged (in English, some were Chinese). I'm trying to make sure there won't be any duplicates. I've already counted 5 called "alarm".
I'll probably upload them as individual collections (HTC, Sony, etc) and then one massive collection.

edit: sorry guys, wrong thread.
Thanks - these are great! So sick of the default beeps and blings...
So installed ringtones and notification and notification is the only one plays sound. Any ideas.

Have you ever been listening to your Britney Spears, Daft Punk or Tupac and suddenly you start hearing files that aren't music (i.e ringtones, notification sounds, etc.)? I find it pretty annoying that there is no current method to hide these files from the music player, until now.
I would like to give credit to Scheff's Blend for this idea, and after tinkering with the the doom game folder on my memory card, I found a file called ".nomedia". Within that same folder was over 100 sound files for the game doom, BUT my music player was not reading that specific folder.
I figured it had to do something with that ".nomedia" file, and coincidentally it DID.
Instructions:
1) Download and unzip nomedia.zip somewhere onto your computer
2) Inside is a file called .nomedia, copy it into the directory of media files you want to hide
3) Reboot your phone
P.S. This also works for pictures and video files, BUT for newly taken pictures and videos, or music files added, a REBOOT is REQUIRED to hide them again.
WARNING: this completely hides the files from the phone, so they become unusable to any application until the .nomedia file is removed, and the phone is restarted. I know Scheff's Blend found a way to use those files while hiding them, yet I haven't. If anyone wants to help me out, feel free to.
I know a lot of people wanted to know how to do this, so sorry to any mod who notices I double posted, but I just realized I should have put it in this forum section to begin with. Feel free to delete the other thread in the "Dream" section.
Right on.
Another option that works is placing files you want hidden inside of a folder that starts with a period, such as ".hiddenfolder" or ".stuffimhiding"
Files and folders that begin with a period are considered hidden files by the Android OS and do not show up in Gallery or the music app
Thanks man..
was looking for a way to do this..

Thanks, thats good to know. But can they be used by lets say the dialer.apk as a ringtone?
I do the same thing with Astro. Like Dave said, keeping a folder with a dot at the front and anything within won't be read unless opened by Astro or renamed. This may not work for the ringtones, but its quicker than having to reboot if you just want to hide photos, documents, videos, etc.
I have problem where videos in folder w/ .nomedia get deleted at each reboot... Now using Cyan 4.1.11.1... Really weird. Each reboot deletes videos in those folders

Just create a .folder in the folder ?

I just recently started having issues with my gallery and music player.
For the Gallery, I now only see one folder (whereas previously I used to see a bunch of folders) and that folder is full of the same 1 or 2 pictures repeated many times.
For the Music player, I can't see any of my songs anymore.
Not sure when it started, but the first time I noticed it was when I installed FunnyWarp from the market. I've have no idea if the problem is related to FunnyWarp at all... just speculation.
For both the Music Player and Gallery:
I've tried clearing the cache => doesn't work.
I've tried deleting all the files in /sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache => doesn't work.
I've tried using sdrescan from the market => doesn't work.
Any ideas before I restore an older back-up (which I don't really feel like doing)...
Thanks.
I've had some success doing this before:
1 - place a period in front of all your media folder names ie: DCIM => .DCIM
2 - open gallery and delete all files, open media player and delete all files
3 - remove period from folder names, and reboot
You may want to back up your media first...

I'll give it a shot in a couple of hours when I get a chance to back up my photos, thanks. Sounds good for the gallery, but for the music player, I don't see any songs in it, so what am I supposed to delete?
Thats a good question - I thought there was an option to clear the database, but it looks like I may be wrong... Maybe see if a different media player will let you reset the db?

Just wondering if there's a way to make ur phone play a specific sound when it locks
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
find, backup and replace the .ogg lock sound in the registry.
You can place your custom lock/unlock *.ogg files in system/media/audio/ui. [Download Root explorer from market or a file manager app to do this on your phone]
Backup your Original file and rename your custom sound file to Lock.ogg or Unlock.ogg.
Thanx now I just have to convert the file to file

MGS Lock/Unlock Sounds
Just thought I'd share my sounds. Files are already converted to OGG and I am currently using them. They sound awesome!
Also Audacity is an awesome tool to convert any audio file to OGG and its free. Google is your friend
P.S. If you play the files on the PC, they may appear to sound incomplete, however, they work perfectly on the phone once set.
Does it drain the. Battery fast

No, I doubt it drains battery considering it just replaces the original lock and unlock sounds. I've had no drain issues.
Sounds go in 'system/media/audio/ui/'

I forgot about audacity its very easy to use also.. also an app called "screen off and lock" works great with the lock sounds

A different way of doing things is some lockscreen programs found in the market will let you do this too. I think lock 2.0 full lets you upload a custom lock/unlock sound by just renameing the mp3 inside the program on your sd. Im not 100% sure that this is the program name because i haven't used it in several months. There also are severl sounds other users have uploaded that you can choose from as well.

So, I was looking in the phone and I've yet to figure out what the issue is. I was always able to transfer ringtones(.mp3 files) to all of my Samsung phones(Vibrant and Infuse) without issue; however, when I try to select one on the Thrill it won't allow it or sometimes states "Device does not support this Content for ringtone Assignment."
I checked the actual ringtones folder and it contains .ogg files; however, merely renaming the extension .mp3 to .ogg doesn't produce any results(in that the phone still responds the same way when selecting them). I'm not certain if there would be the necessity of a converter for the files, but I don't have access to computer that I could attempt to convert them on.
So! I suppose my question is what formats the Thrill will recognize or allow for use as ringtones outside of the preloaded few and what method I would have to go about using to get them to work. I've tried using a "ringtones" folder on the sd card and a "ringtones" folder in "sdcard/media/audio" with no results.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
The thrill does accept mp3 as ringtone it has to be under 300kb I'm pretty sure. It might be the way your mp3s were encoded I wpuld try finding a ringtone under 300kb and around 128kbps encoding see if that works.
I use ringdroid from the market it's free and super easy to crop your mp3s it takes like 20 sec. hope it helps

I appreciate the input and I'll take a look at the file sizes. I'll also take a look at ringdroid. I have to admit that the battery life on this phone seems to be atrocious though.

Are there any other app where I can choose ringtones in settings>sound>phone ringtone ? like the walkman app? and what kind of permissions do I have to set? I think the skin of the walkman app is outdated and incompatible with ICS themes. Thanks in advance
I can change the ringtones in PowerAmp. Try it. It's the Best music player so far...

PlayerPro is better. You can use it to change ringtone.
PlayerPro is better than PowerAMP because of its UI and frequent updates. Many people in Android Market says that too.

I was actually thinking of apps that would allow me to do to choose in settings>sound>phone ringtones (see attachment)
I like it because its a lot easier when I want songs in my SD as my ringtone but also when I want to use them as my alarm ringtone.
Thanks to everyone who replied.
RingDroid, simple to use.
Why go to the trouble of using a application to accomplish something Android can do by itself?
- Create a "Alarms", "Notifications" and "Ringtones" folder on your sdcard.
*Use Root Browser or Root Explorer or whatever filemanager you prefer.
- Copy your Alarm/Notification/Ringtone MP3 or OGG into the respective folder.
Once that's done the files you copied in there will show up in the list of Alarm/Notification/Ringtone sounds.
In case Android doesn't pick it up right away simply reboot.
No need to use an extra software to set a custom Alarm / Notification / Ringtone sound.
@B.Jay I wanted another app to do this because I want the option to choose from my 500+ songs in my SD card. I also don't want to add additional data in my internal memory than what's really necessary. But I guess I'm just stuck with the walkman app Thanks anyways.
With all due respect ...

I wrote SDCARD - in no way, shape or form I wrote something about cluttering up the internal memory.
Anyway, if you don't have a few Megabyte left on your SDCARD to create the folders and place your custom "sounds" there then it's your choice (seems I'm somewhat spoiled by the 32GB SD I have in my SGS S2).
Sorry I didn't notice about the SD card but then again that would still occupy space on my measly 8GB SD . Anyways, thanks again
