How to change SMS tones?

How can I change SMS tones to a custom sound byte? Is there a folder somewhere I can put it in? I want to have a different SMS and e-mail tone than the ones built in.
Thanks.

Drop it into the "windows" folder and it'll then be available in the drop-down menu for sms/mms.

put in the folder and then go to sounds n notifications and under new sms u can choose

Looks like this thread is done.

How to change ringtone

hi there, can anyone helpme, i want change the default ringtone for calls and for sms's. Do i have to change something in the registry???
Thanks
Andres

No, go to start--settings--sounds and notifications--notifications--then choose which sound you want to change and change it. If you want to add your own ringtones then transfer it to the phone and find it using the above method...scroll down the list and click to use it.
Next time read the manual...it will tell you how to do certain things.

Settings > Sounds > Advanced
Choose the Notifications tab
Pick the Event - ie 'Messaging - New SMS Alert' and set 'Ring Tone' as you want.
If you have a custom Ringtone, you can simply use File Explorer and find the file... hold the stylus / finger on the file and choose 'Set As Ringtone'

Already did it but ringtones only works for Incoming Calls, not for New SMS

Solved, if you want to change for a custom ringtone for SMS, Email or something different of Phone Call all you have to do is copy and paste the custom ringotne on to c:\windows and then select it from: Settings > Sounds > Notifications tab.
Thanks to all for your support.

Ringtone and Notification sounds folders

Can anyone tell me which folder holds the Ringtones and which folder holds the Notification sounds? There are many things I would like to do, one of which is to add soundfiles and make the Agenda give a full, long tune as an event reminder.

Go to /system/media/audio for all of the ringtones and notifications.
You can also create a ringtones folder on your sd card .. Put all the tones in there and then select the folder when you select a ringtone from the settings menu you can choose one from there

[Q] Alarm clock ringtones

Is it possible to add more ringtones to the stock alarm clock?
Original Moto X on AT&T running stock 4.4.4 firmware:
I've started using my phone as my alarm clock and I'd like a bigger selection of ringtones. I've placed a bunch of .ogg files in both the /Ringtones and the /Notifications folders. They can be selected when choosing the phone ringtone, but I still only have a half dozen stock sounds in the Alarm Clock selection.
Using a third party alarm clock, I can select all the ring tones I put on.
I know I can just use the third party app, but I'd rather stick with the stock app since it works well with daydream.

Yup, it's possible. Download ES explorer or an equivalent file manager.
Now , when you try and set the ring tone for your alarm clock, it will prompt you to choose which application you want to "Complete action with"
Using media storage will let you set the stock ringtones. Using your file manager, you can navigate to the song of your choice and set it .
If the prompt for "complete action with" does not show up, in the "all" section of your applications list , clear the defaults in the "media storage" application.

I am able to set it as ringtone or SMS tone, in the settings, but in the settings for notification tone the option simply isn't there. Even if I put the file in the notifications folder with file explorer it isn't given as an option

Try using 3rd party app. I personally use Ringtone Setter, which bypasses system's limitations.

Yea I have done that now. It's just strange that on the ringtone and SMS tone settings there is an option at the top of the list to use"local ring tone", but on notification tone that option is absent. The option does appear when you use a third party app to set the tone and then go back in to the notification tone settings, but it is greyed out, so it still says "use local ring tone" and shows the new tone as selected, but as it is greyed out you still can't modify it in the settings like you can with SMS tone and ringtone. Probably just a bug, I can't imagine any reason for into be like that by design.

I use Solid Explorer to copy notification tone mp3 to system/media/audio/notifications(must be rooted) rename ext to .ogg (not sure if this is necessary) change attributes to Group and Global (-rw-r--r--) reboot and your good to go!

Tried your suggestion, not working.
I am on OnePlus 3T Orio Os5.
I try to set my Gmail notification to a custom notification. I tried you way and got the notification to appear in the notification list, even hear it as its chosen, but when Gmail gives the incoming mail notification its not that one but one of the original ones.
