Add custom sounds - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

since android pie I can"t find a way to add my ringtones, alarms and notification sounds, I tried adding media folder containing folders for ringtones, alarms and notifications to internal storage and tried copying sounds to existing alarms, ringtones and notifications folders already exist in internal storage with no luck.
Is there a way to make this work I don"t know ?
Thanks for help

Hi!
On my Note9 running on Pie, I get this + sign in Ringtone sign in Ringtone selector. Also, if you put your custom ringtone in Notifications folder, you'd see those here as well. View attachment 4726694

[QUESTION] Notification Tone?

Is there a way to add some notification tone for message?
coz i want to have my own tone on messages that i will receive..
is it possible?
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean a custom notification for received messages? It should be configurable in the default messaging app, but I'm not completely sure since I use handcent SMS which allows you to customize the notification sounds and a bunch of other stuff.

so i must use handcent messaging for me to have my custom tone?
You can create a new folder on your sd card -> DCIM -> media - > audio -> notifications and put your customs notifications in this folder.
You can do the same for your ringtones and alarms by creating new folder on your sd card -> DCIM -> media -> audio -> ringtones and alarms
You will be able to find them in your message app settings.
Hope it helps you

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] change notification tone

im trying to change the notification tone on my i9000. I have copied the .ogg file i want from my i9300 and placed it in two places on my i9000 internal sd card - /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Music and also /mnt/sdcard/Bluetooth, but when i open the file, and click 'Set As' it only lets me set it as the phone ringtone, caller ringtone or alarm tone, and not the notification tone?
when i go to my settings, then soud settings, then notification tone, it doesnt let me choose a folder to select the notification sound from, and just the standard i9000 ones.
how can i set a custom audio file as the default notification tone for all apps?
try putting the file in system/app/media/audio/notification and then the permission...then reboot and try...

There is an app called zedge (free) that you can download all your favorite ringtones and backgrounds from then just simply choose them from the sound section of your settings section.

Try root explorer or another app with permission and copy the file to system/media/audio/ringtones then set permision to rw-r--r--,save it and then go to setting and choose your ringtone.

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!

adding notification sounds

New SGS10e, want to add in my collection of notification sounds. When I want to add Ringtones there is a + at the top right corner of the page but not so with the notifications page. From a notification sound app I can add their sounds with a permission click, but can't figure out how to add my own.
Use any file manager app and move your notification sound file to internal storage/ notifications folder

Make and save the mp3 files of the notification sounds (less than 15s) into a folder. The phone will automatically recognize the files.
