Custom Ringtones - LG Thrill 4G

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.

Playlist oddity, any thoughts?

Hi:
Since the AT&T Froyo update, I am having odd music playlist problems. I am using the stock media player., and all music is stored to external SD card.
When in the song list, to add a song to a playlist, I hold down on the song, and select add to playlist, and then choose the playlist. It does not ever show up in the playlist I chose. This is the same way I have always added songs, only now it won't work.
If I go to the appropriate playlist, and remove songs via the menu button, and then add a few songs, the changes work properly, EXCEPT after the phone is turned off then back on, the changes disappear, and the original songs that were removed are still there, and the songs that were added are NOT there.
Any thoughts on what is causing this? I am desperate to fixe this. Every time I want to listen to music I have to go in and add/delete songs, which as you can imagine is hugely inconvenient.
Any thoughts will really be appreciated.
Thanks!!
Hi again:
I just tried using PowerAmp music player, and the same problem happens as with the stock player
Bump.
This is really a huge problem for me, any suggestions would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks!
Have you had this problem on any custom ROM?

Hi:
Thanks so much for your reply. I have never flashed a custom ROM. I can however say that I did not have this problem on stock 2.1.
Thanks again!
I actually had this problem on a few roms I was using. A reinstallation of the music app seemed to fix it. In this case, a reset may help unless you want to root and remove/add the app back in the system/app folder.

Hi:
Thanks so much for your suggestion.
I am already rooted. Do I actually go into the system folder and remove it, paste it somewhere else, and add the same app, or do I need to find a file of the music app online to replace the original?
Thanks again!!

That's about it. I'd cut and paste it somewhere else just in case then move the new on in. You can probably grab the app from a lot of ROMs that use the Samsung Music Player or just search for it somewhere. It should be called MusicPlayer.apk

One last question. Do you think this would affect the proper functioning even in Poweramp, because this problem is occurring when I use that also.
Thanks again!

[RINGTONES & NOTIFICATIONS] Ripped From LG Optimus 2X Phone | Wow Wow Wee Wow!

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.
DOWNLOAD THE RINGTONES HERE
DOWNLOAD THE NOTIFICATION TONES HERE
Follow this link to get the Widgets from the LG Optimus 2X
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.

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.

Custom lock sounds

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

I'm not sure where u can find them, but there are several online converters which I used to convert my (mp3) file to ogg.. quick and easy

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.

Google music........

Hello all.
Does anyone know of a way to move the songs that have been purchased from google music onto your sd card? This would enable me to use a different music apk to play and listen to my music.
I know it has the option to make the selections available offline. However, it would be nice to know where those files are kept. Thanks in advance.
better put some water on that ****!
You can download it on your computer then put it on your phone, or use the "avalaible offline" option then you can find the mp3 files on /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music.
The first option is easier.

[Q] Alternative app for choosing ringtones in settings?

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.
Hit the THANKS button if I helped!!

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
