So I had a rooted Galaxy Nexus. I'd just have just copied/pasted into the media folders previously. Now, the ringtone and notification is on my phone but not showing in the menu to select ringtones.
Am I just being stupid?

I did the same thing and mine works. I just copied everything I wanted off my GNex and then copied to the corresponding folders on the Turbo and when I chose media storage they worked fine

you have to create a folder on yout SD card like this:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
just move yout tones or mp3 to this folders, I've create this folders using ES File Explorer and i don't have any problems
I really appreciate the help. In addition to my Droid1 I now have an Eris I flashed to FroyoEris. Im learning alot from everyones posts and I appreciate you!

Is there a way to keep some photos hidden but still keep them on the device? I will typically let people go through my pics especially my 3 year old but there are pics of other things that I don't want him or others to see.......
So, what is the best option?
Vaulty will hide them but it doesn't encrypt them. It just changes the file extension so the phone can't read it. But it would take a bit of a guru to look that far into finding your pics and will most likely be sufficient for you.
I personally use it.

Unfortunately, Vaulty force closes every time I select multiple pics..
Trying to hide those Scarlett Johansson pics, are we?
No, much much filtier
You can put a .nomedia file in any folders you don't want scanned by the gallery app, most other apps will skip these folders too, though some have an option to allow you to see them when you want. It won't encrypt them and they'll still be visible to file explorers though.

Hide it pro works great. And its free. Once you hide it, delete the pix out of your gallery. You can even hide apps.

I settled for "Hide it pro" and it has video hide
Any that censors my wifey when she flashes me on skype when I am in a public place
As ind3p3nd3ntsaid, Should be able to drop a file named ".nomedia" into the folder you want hidden from media players and galleries. Has always worked fine for me.

How are you supposed to create this file without linux? Windows wouldn't let me do it.
I did it on my phone, just find a random text file, make a copy of it to desired location and rename it to .nomedia

I like this method, definitely going to try it out. I'm pretty sure none of my friends like to go rummaging around in my file browser... and if they do they will perish!
Am I missing something? Can I not add a custom right tone to a contact? I just switched over from my Droid X today and I came across this issue.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I believe the way to do it is if you open the Contacts app then click on the contact and when it shows their info, hit the menu key then select options and it should then give you the option to set a custom ringtone for that contact.
I've tried that but the only choices that are available are the stock ringtones that came with the phone I'd like to use an actual song from my music library as that contacts ringtone.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I noticed the same thing! I like to have different songs for different people, i don't want to be limited to the lame generic ringtones, i want Beck and Death Weather and QoTSA!
I just upgraded from a Droid X today and I able able to add custom ringtones to contacts then now on DB it doesn't seem to give you an option to do that I'm surprised

Might try adding the music files to a folder named "Ringtones" on the sd card. It worked for my portal 2 ringtones.

Files placed into: /Internal phone storage/media/audio/ringtones are usable as ringtones. If the folders already exist, just move your files there. If the folders aren't already there, you can use the pre-installed Files application to create them. From with the app, click Menu then New Folder.
Then do this keeping in mind that it needs to be done from the View Contact screen, not the Edit Contact screen:

I figured it out: I opened the music app then long pressed the song I wanted as a ring tone. The go to the contact select options and when the list of ring tones opens looks for the song title and hi-light the song done. Thanks to all of you for helping!!!!

I had some songs and alert tones that I put on the external SD card, and the system found them and added them to my list of available ring tones without me having to do anything.
have had no issues with custom ring tones and alerts.
Thanks. That also worked for the notification ringtone.

Check out "Rings Extended" in the app market. Once installed it operates in the background. Assign a ringtone as normal, but when you do you get the option to use Rings Extended. It will let you choose any music on your phone.
So I have this strange problem that is causing my Ringtones not to work.
I go into settings >> sound >> and click to select the default ringtone.
In there some of my Ringtones are listed 3 times.
These are MP3's that I have on my Ext SDcard in a drirectory.
If when I am trying to select the ringtone, I select the first 2 of the 3 of any particular ringtone, the "preview" does not work at all. The 3rd version of the ringtone works with the preview but the phone won't work with it.
I select the thrid version and close settings and try to call my phone. Only vibration. I look back in the settings and the first entry is selected.
So I took out my ext sdcard and only 2 versions of the file name show up now and neither of those will play, preview, or work.
I downloaded Rescan Media Root and rescanned media but nothing gets rid of these Ghost entries.
Any ideas?
The built in phone ringtones are entered only once and they work.
Try removing the ext. sd card and rebooting the phone. Also while it is removed, go to settings and then applications and clear data of the Music Player app and Media Storage. You can find them under the "All" tab in applications manager.

I must be missing something but I can't get notifications sounds from the phone, only the stock ones. Been everywhere I know to look on my note 5 and coming up blank.
Ringtone was no problem but there has to be a way to get notification sound of my choosing.
Thanks in advance

When you go to your ringtones, do you see a pop-up at bottom asking you to select media storage or a Sep app? Media storage holds anything you've custom added along with stock.

Just open audio, find ur song ore all of them by long pressing on it. Then at right up corner press menu- copy-internal storage- notifications- and vuola, all done.
Your instructions above are only for ringtones, they don't allow you to add your own sound to messages or other notifications on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
Insert an SD Card with your custom sounds. The folders should be in the root directory and named accordingly. I personally moved the contents of each one of these folders to the internal memory of the corresponding folders.
Rightones
Notifications
Alarms
Follow these steps:
-Go to My files
-Go to internal Storage
-3 dots in top right, click "Create folder"- Name folder "Media"
-Open newly created "Media" folder, click 3 dots in top right, click "Create folder"- Name folder "Notifications".
-Move any sounds or music you would like to use into this "Notifications" folder and it will show up in the list now.

Caveat: the name of the sound turns up on the list using the meta tag information, no meta tag info will mean it turns up simply as sound (of which you may end up with multiple 'sound' entries). Creating the same folders on the SD card will also work.
edit: i dont think the Media folder is required, just the Notifications folder on the root off internal storage or sd card
