I used to place my own rintones and notifications in a map ringtones and in a map notifications and was able to select the ringtone i want. Since last update i can only select the default ringtones and mp3 from the music list. I dont want my ringtones in my music list. What must i do to get it as it was ?
What do you mean by map ringtones and map notifications?
You must put them on /sdcard/Ringtones and /sdcard/Notifications, but if you don't want them to show in your music app, the only way I know is to put them in /system/media/audio, root needed of course.
Yes i know and i tried it. As mp3 and as ogg file but they dont play or show up in my list of ringtones.
Before the update to v20c i was able to place mp3 files in a map ringtones on my sd card and files would show up in ringtone list, not in music list.
Somehow the update has blocked this option. Only solution now is placing files in music dir on sd card.
Hoped that someone has a better solution
Of course you've restarted the device after copying the files? And I am not sure if it works in the external SD, I know it works in /sdcard.
Ofcourse...

well it depends on what type of music/songs you are placing on the media folders:btw you have to set permissions for each ringtone to r-w-r-r or to 6.4.4 so yeah meaby is just permissions or unsuported file format

Well the ringtone is in mp3, tried also ogg. Files can be played with the default music player, so an issue with file association cant be the issue. Will try setting rights..
But the strange thing is with v20b it still worked, i didnt change anything on the mp3... after the update to v20c the files dont show up in the ringtone list...
Oké, issue solved. Was indeed rights issue. Reset whole dir to 644 and reboted.

I had made some custom ringtones thru iTunes and a ringtone app. They show up under Menu/Settings/Sound/Phone Ringtone. Most show up on the sd card under media either Ringtones (a folder I created for the iTunes one) and media/audio/ringtones.
But when I go to system/media thru Root Explorer, only the stock ones show. Using eVils 1.18 rom.
How can I delete the ones under Menu/Settings/Sound/Phone Ringtone? If I can't see them thru root explorer. Or, am I looking in wrong place?

Files in the /system/media folder are the system ringtones. The ones that you saved are on the sdcard under /media.
The ones you see under settings are all the ringtones from both the system and sdcard.
I personally don't use any of the system ringtones...so I delete them with Root Explorer. But, to see the effects...you must reboot. At this point...you'll only see your saved ringtones when you go back into settings. Hope that's what you were asking to solve.
Thanks SiNJiN76,
I now understand.
Problem now is I have some ringtones in Menu/Settings/Sound/Phone Ringtone that don't show on the sd or root explorer. They don't even have the right song tied to the title. Almost like they multi duplicated.
How can I delete them. My guess is I can't unless I restore.
Thanks,
Ken
I'm a bit stumped here. Maybe use the search function on Root Explorer for those file names? I know that I often overlook the search function all the time. Maybe the app that you used is somehow populating the menu with those ringtones hidden in its own folder somewhere? Hope I've been able to give you clues to solve this mystery of yours.
No problem,
It is a wierd one, I have 7 ringtones titled Hotel California that play Gypsy. Not sure how they got there or why there is 7 of them.
They only appear on the phone dropdown menu for ringtones, nowhere else.
I'll try the search.
EDIT: Search found them. Deleted, rebooted, gone. Thanks for the tip. It is a forgotten function.

when I try and delete it says I can't because the file is system read only file. Checked properties, but it doesn't show that (like a normal computer property list). So how do you change this so I can delete the stock ringtones which I never use?

Be sure to use a file explorer that has root access. If you are using the latest version of root explorer, it asks you if you temporarily want to mount as read/write (something like that). Once deleted restart the phone.

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 .
jje
well that didnt work for some weird reason... :|
ty tho.
Could be the rom you are using then .
jje
- 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?

Hello everyone,
Posting this for my wife,
I've got some problems with her phone...
It's sound related, I don't know how and even why, but her notification sounds, alarm sounds et ringtone sound are always reverting to default ones a few time after setting them to which one she wants.
Sound are on SD card, she doesn't unmount her sd card or something like that.
I even created a sound profile but it changed sound again :'(
Phone is Stock, unrooted, etc. It does the same in gingerbread, and now in ics.
If anyone can help me it would be much much appreciated
Thank you.
Copy the files on phone storage... I had that problem, too but now, it's solved

Just take a file browser on your phone (Solid Explorer is a really great one) and then just copy & paste Best would be to copy them in /system/media/audio/ and than choose the right folder for your file from /alarms, /notifications or /ringtones

Copy your files to /SD-card/media/audio/ and than choose right folder from /ringtones, /notifications and /alarms
This should definitiely work as it worked for me too
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!

That did the trick when I had this issue!! Thanks!
Hi,
I'm trying to install sound package which has ringtones and notifications. The files are ogg format.
I figured out how to install notifications. I have to use the built-in Samsung My Files to copy them into the Notifications folder. Then it will be picked up by the phone and I can see them in Settings notification list
However, I can't get the ringtones to show up in Settings ringtone list. I can use the plus button to choose, which shows all notifications as well.
What's the trick to install ringtones on S10?
Thanks

Just copy ringtones into the folder Ringtones! If the folder doesn't exists, make it!

I already did it twice, once with My Files. However, they don't show up in Settings -> Sound -> Ringtones. Instead, I'd have to click on + sign at the top and choose folder.
Does it require a folder structure inside Ringtones folder?
Thanks
Unfortunately, it happens to me all the times I've manually placed files into the Ringtones folder, even on internal storage not external SD. What I found worked reboot many times or use media scanner to refresh
