[Q] add ringtones

Hello all!
i have Darkys ressurection 9.2 rom on my GT-I9000
aparently i have tried all sorts of things to get my .mp3 file listed in settings->sound-> phone ringtone list
i mounted /system as rw and pushed through adb both an mp3 file and a converted .ogg file into /system/media/audio/ringtones and i also made a media/audio/ringtones directory on my /mnt/sdcard and still nothing...
also they dont even appear on my (default)music player...weird ???!
i have also rebooted phone so as to make sure media scanner thing has ran.!
any ideas on how to go about this?
thanks!

cmon nobody got custom ringtones like that??

Standard rom path to ringtones is .
system>> media >> audio >>> ringtones
presume its the same in that rom .

well that didnt work for some weird reason... :|
ty tho.

Could be the rom you are using then .

- First convert your .mp3 to .ogg with a program
- Second open your rom with winrar in your pc, and put the ogg file in /system/media/audio/ringtones folder.
- Flash the rom and enjoy
or
-you can try to put in with RootExplorer. Don't forget to mount R/W
if you like that please hit thanks

Ye missed the mp3 bit i thought he was trying to put ringtones in not mp3 .
MP3 ringtone maker works quite well and has an added benefit .

ok this is so damn freaky.....it did worked just fine pushing it and i cant believe how i got it wrong..
apparently the ogg file and mp3 i pushed it had a filename of keyboard.ogg BUT for some reason what it was displayed in the ringtones list was the ID3 tag that this file had!!!and its tag was "get down" so i was looking for keyboard and i couldnt expect that its reading the ID3 tag......
so the ringtone was in the list since the first time......
sorry for the fuss.....damn it got me bad lol :...but hey it works fine

Why don't you simply create a 'ringtones' directory under sdcard and put the mp3 in this dir?

[Q] adding MP3 tones to Notification folder help

I have 2.3.3 running well, or at least pretty well, but I want to add some of my MP3 tones to the phone. The ringtones are is the root/system/media/audio path and I was wondering if there is a post explaining how to add to the notification and ringtone folders. I am from WinMo and this is my first android. I loved flashing my Tilt and found droid to be easier to work with.
Any help or direction would be appreciated. I have searched but didn't find a How To.
Thanks

I just use a ringtone maker app from the market. Not sure if your looking for something more than this, but there's a bunch of em. They work with all the music on my phone

I already have the tones download to my sd card and I can move them around EXCEPT for putting them in the system subfolder in the root directory. When I copy and paste my existing mp3 tones, they fail when pasting to the Notification folder in the System folder.

/system/media/audio and all of the sub directories (notifications, ringtones, alarms on the phone are mounted as read only. If you want to copy your own tones into those folders you need a file manager app that has root access like root explorer, or es explorer.
Using Root explorer, navigate to the /system/media directory and toggle the file permissions from r/o (read only) to r/w (read write). from there you can use root explorer to copy/move your custom tones to the folders.
another way to include custom notification/ringtones is to make a folder in the phones internal SD called /media/audio/notification /media/audio/ringtones /media/audio/alarms and put your tones there. This method does not require root access.

Create a folder on your SD card and call it ringtones. Drop them in there and they are selectable, or use any ringtone app like Zedge (not my favourite but very popular).

Any mp3 or sound file you use can be used a custom ringtone. Simply choose that file and hit the menu button then set as ringtone.

I created a ringtone (custom beep) and when I move it to the media/audio/ringtones folder, it comes up as available for setting

Thanks

I have a SGT 7 with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I am not given that option.
I tried to copy an .ogg and .wav file I created in to the ringtone folder, but was denied. I also created a ringtone folder on my sd card and external sd card, but not able to use either of them.
Anyone have an other ideas. Thanks...

MP3 ringtone maker or tone picker on the market is good if you dont have that option

You have root, I know! So using file explorer from the market, change the destination folder to read/write (r/w at the top of the page).

All is Well

i'm using galaxy si 9003. how to add my own ringtone??

Play the file using music player and on the menu Set as then you will get option for that...

ok tq...can you help me where can i fine the ringtone folder??

Just create these folder structures on your sd card:
/media/audio/notifications/
/media/audio/ringtones/
and put your sound files there. System will automatically add them to the selection.

ringtones on CM10/hellybean

Hi,
i just flashed hellyBean CM10, looks great.
not sure why my apollo "stopped working" everytime, but my real question is how to change the alarm tone and the phone ringtone to a custom .mp3
couldn't find the option.
thanks.

I know two ways to do it:
1. For ringtones on your internal SD card create a folder named ringtones and put there the mp3. I guess it may work the same for notifications/alarms
2. Go to /system/media/audio and you will have 4 folders there: alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui and put here the mp3, fix permissions then reboot. But you will lose them on your next flash.
For your apollo issue: try to clear data and cache from manage apps/all/apollo then reboot.

Go to apollo-> long press a song->set as ringtone
then go to the ringtone and or alarm settings, the song you selected to set as ringtone will now be available in the list of ringtones.
Edit:this is the same I had to do on CM7.2 btw

Great!
