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 I think the skin of the walkman app is outdated and incompatible with ICS themes.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 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

Hey everyone, I just bought a Galaxy S yesterday and I'm wondering if it's possible to use custom ringtones for notifications/calls?
Thanks in advance
Play the tune you want to use as a tone using stock player, push menu button > Set as > select from the list which action you wish to use the song for.

Ah right, no wonder I couldn't find it
Thank you
And if yo want your own notifications for ex. sms/email, make a folder in memory and call it "notifications" and put you mp3 tones in that folder they will appear in the settings
actually, the folder stucture on your internal memory is like this:
system/media/audio/ringtones
/alarms
/notifications
This way the sounds can be selected in the ringtones menu and don't show up in the media player.

To get acsess to "system" you must be rooted? because in not rooted phone you cant find this folders, or do I just make the folders in internal memory?
Edit: The phone must be rooted for this. I tried to make this folders in internal memory and the mp3.s dissapeard when u delete this tones in media player. Remember that every one dont have their phones rooted
What do you mean with

You don't need access to the system folder on the internal memory, you just add these folders to your internal mass memory (the 6GB partition aka sdcard).
Iirc your phone does not have to be rooted.
Hello everyone, I just tried to add a .mp3 file to system/media/audio/ringtones but it didn't show up as a ringtone option under settings.
I also deleted a few .ogg from that same file but they still show up in settings>sounds>ringtones.
Can anyone confirm that his trick really works with Galaxy S?

That solved the problem doop! Thanks a lot! So the trick works but one has to rescan media.
I used Ringdroid myself, it allows you to even select a specific portion of a track to use in notifications\ringtones etc... Pretty good for a free app.
The only real and best way to use custom ringtones/alarms/notifications is to move them to internal memory in /system/media/* to have them always available, and its also faster.
and you need root for that.
If you store them on sdcard, when phone rings it will be slower doing it, and if the phone just booted up; sdcard is not ready yet, you wont hear startup sound. If you have sdcard mounted, all the sounds alarms notifications saved in sdcard WONT PLAY until you unmount the sdcard.
Yes Android is very LAME.
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.

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

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.

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/'

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.

I run into this EVERYTIME I switch phones.. even between SONY phones, they make this so difficult.
Where am I supposed to store my MP3 files so the phone's sound picker can see these files for me to select as ring tones? Why must this be so painful? my Xperia Acro V was able to just see ALL sound files and lets me pick anything. The Z... no
please help me
Thank you
You can set them as ringtones from the Walkman player or then you can create a folder called 'ringtones' anywhere on the internal memory or SD card and copy them there. Reboot and the phone detects them.
Install ES file explorer. When you want to set your ringtone, the Z will ask what program to use. Select ES and no problem. Been using this method since my first android phone LOL

I need some help with regard to the Sony Walkman app. It won't recognize a song (910 files copied to my phone, 909 songs available) and off course it's a big hassle to manually find the song.. Anyone know 1) a way to find the missing song, 2) why it's missing (read something about weird symbols in id-tags or something). Thanks in advance!

Where did u copied the songs? SD or main memory? If its SD card just take it out and insert again. If its a main memory make
sure the folder is visibile by non root file commander. You can also try to clear cache and data of walkman app in settings.

Yeah, i know... It just bugs me I guess.. You 'fixed' it I guess, by searching for the format, I found that the folder contained 909 songs, but iTunes contains 910 songs (used Synctunes). Will try to find the missing song in iTunes now. Thanks!

Spoke too soon: Windows explorer tells me there are 910 songs in the folder, but when I select 'sort by type', I have 903 mp3's and 6 mp4a's. So one's missing, but when I scroll through the folder when I sort it by name, I don't see anything extraordinary.. I know this is not really a Xperia Z problem, but I guess I'll just share it right here, in the hope someone knows a little more
