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.
I have an HTC Raider from Rogers and I installed PowerAmp on it. After it completes the library scan, it shows every song twice. However, when I open up the stock music app, everything looks normal. All of my music is currently stored on the external SD card. I did try moving all of the music over to the internal SD and poweramp only showed the music files once. However, I don't want my music eating up all the space on my internal sd.
Anyone else encountered this problem and possibly have a solution?

Never had this problem... that's odd. Maybe you could contact the dev of that app. Many of them are really good about resolving issues with users.

I will try contacting them. Thanks!
PowerAMP's library management seems to be a bit rubbish. It wouldn't read about half of my Japanese ID3 tags, nor 1/4 of my Korean ones... It's a bit of a disaster.

I also have an HTC Raider from Rogers and have the exact same problem.
Did you ever hear back from the developers about this?
Have you tried making sure that ONLY your music folder is getting scanned (by manually selecting it in the settings), then going into the advanced settings and initiating a full wipe/rescan?
I'm on a Rogers Raider and have never had this problem, so it's a shot in the dark. Been using PowerAmp for over a year across three phones.

Yes, I made sure that only the music folder is scanning. But still having the same problem, Please someone help me. :crying:
Using Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.2
I had this problem, uninstall it, clear your dalvik cache, reinstall it, select only your music folder, double check that you don't actually have duplicate files :laugh:
Hi,
try this:
Open Settings in powerAmp > Folders and Library > Music Folders (scroll down & down to make sure you select only 1 Folder where your music is stored).
that fixes mine. Hope that fixes your problem.
Maybe have a closer look
I have the Nexus 4, too and just solved the problem.
The first thing I did when acqiring Poweramp was de-selecting everything but the "music" folder.
But then I noticed that there was not only a folder of that name in /storage/emulated/0, but also in /storage/emulated/legacy, which was still selected, causing the problem.
Deselected the second one and everything worked fine
duplicate songs
the dual listing of songs files etc is usually caused by the app scanning dual paths. Set your app to only scan one folder for your music.

Thx. It worked for me.Nexus 4
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

tqvm, didn't know abt that.
After updating to xxlsa, my music player duplicates the files on my external sdcard. Any fix on this?
vaporized from ma NOTE
I have tried unmounting my sdcard, clearing data for media storage and music player but yet no changes. Any help will be appreciated.

hi, it's strange ..
I am still with LS7, I have not tested yet.
but I had a similar problem with ics, it was infact google music and its cache ..
test reading your duplicate songs with the stock player, if the duplicate song will not open, it is almost certain that it comes from gMUSIC ...
Otherwise, if you're on they are copied to your external sd, have you tried to delete, reboot and see if you still have the problem?
ps: you're not in the right section, here is themes and applications

Yeah. On ICS I had same problem but the duplicate didn't work. But unmounting sdcard and clearing data for media storage solved the problem. But on XXLSA both the duplicate and original are playing just fine.
Edit: I deleted one of the duplicated media files and it rendered the other useless, i.e. the music player could not play it.

I just started using my MI5 today, installed my sim and added my apps, music, photos, etc. Everything seems to be working OK but I can't find a way to use one of my music mp3's as a ringtone. I've been using the same ringtone for years and don't want to change. The only one that is listed on my phone is mi.ogg, surely there is a way?

1) Settings-sound and vibration-phone ringtone- offline(blue arrow)- browse-explorer (default or ES,solid...) -your music
2) open music player -open song- settings -Set as ringtone
Thanks for the reply lokoros, it seems that I hadn't given my phone time to propagate my music to all of the necessary apps so nothing showed up. Now it seems that there are several easy ways to do it.
