Hi. I'm looking for a few of the stock sounds as used on my Nokia 8. Is there any way I could extract them from a downloaded phone image or does anyone have copies they could upload for me. In particular I'm looking for Ring Ring from ringtones and Message 3 & 9 from notifications. Any help or info would be appreciated. Andy
You can copy the sounds by using a file manager on your Nokia 8. I suggest Ghost Commander.
Tap on the three dots, then Location, then Change location. Enter /system
"Ring Ring" is under /system/media/audio/ringtones/ and the Message sounds are under /system/media/audio/notifications/
If you have downloaded a Nokia 8 firmware, you can find these files in the system image - if you have software that can open it.
Hi. Thank you very much indeed! I achieved what I wanted using Ghost Commander as you suggested. I hadn't realised I could access files that way without the phone being rooted. Thank you again - Andy

hello folks,
I'm running a TILT with HTC ROM.
I am trying to make some changes to system files located in the
windows directory. attributes are read only and I cannot find a
way to make changes to that. I've searched the forum but didn't
find anything. if anyone knows of a way to delete/change the read only
attribute on winmo 5 windows directory please point me in the right
direction.
thanks!
If the items you are trying to modify are built into the rom, you can see them but they can not be modified.
The items specifically i'm trying to modify are
the 0_in and 0_out files with in the windows directory
that are used for keyboard sliding sounds. i've read
previously about people using customer slide sounds
and just replacing the ones inside the directory with
the newly formed files.
I asked the question more generically incase anyone
else wanted information on the same subject for
different reasons.
update: Changed rom files!
I was doing some digging and I figured out how to
change over files that are baked onto the rom.
I did so by using Totalcommander. which is a shareware
file system. says it also has a built in reg editor
but ive yet to figure out how to open that
feature...if anyone else uses totalcommander
let me know how to start its regediting functions.
I havnet used total commander in a while, but i believe its in a directory "//" with no name.

Two thoughts - I've got a control panel for the sliding sounds where I can change the sound associate with the slider. Is that not working?
Are you trying to replace the files using File Explorer or something like Total Commander? FE won't do it, but TC or one of the extended file explorers should. Note that you won't really be replacing a file in ROM, and if you ever delete the one you add the one in ROM will "magically" reappear.
If you want to overwrite files in the Windows directory, Resco File Explorer does this beautifully!

bump...im having trouble editing files on my phone from activesync and i want to know how i can disable the "read only" on these files...can anyone help?
Use total commander
Click on the file properties and uncheck "read only".
Edit or overwrite them
I'm trying to change the sound WM uses for the pop-up dialogue (for instance, you install a program and a dialogue pops up and says you have to restart... that sound). I've gone through every option available in Settings/Sounds & Notifications, but there's no entry for it. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

This is what I did (altho the results of the following steps are entirely YOUR responsibility):
1. MAKE BACKUPS! From Activesync, "Explore" the phone. i.e. in a Windows Explorer window.
2. Dbl-click "My Windows Mobile Device". Dbl click the "Window" subdirectory.
3. Sort by filetype.
4. Navigate to where ".wav" files are.
5. Select all the ".wav" files and copy them all en masse to a separate directory on your PC. (all the hidden system wav files should also have been copied in the process).
6. play all the wav files until you find the one that irritated you the first time.
7. open a registry editor of your choice on your WM device. (I use SKTools)
8. search for the file name from step 6.
9. Try the full name plus extension first. If no result, then try the name without the extension.
10. Replace instances of the filename with the wav filename of your choice (I assume you have one). If there was an extension in the first place, include the extension as well.
The outcome of all the above is your responsibility. The steps worked for me, and if you are familiar with how to edit WM registry items, the steps should work for you as well.
good luck.
Thanks for the reply skenobi. Reading your response, it occured to me that once I find the wav files WM is using, I could probably just replace the sound I don't like with a renamed copy of the one I do (i.e., replace Alarm2 with a copy of Alarm4, renamed to Alarm2). I think I'll try this out first, before I buy a registry editor.
Thanks again!

That might work, altho (if I'm not mistaken) some wav files are in ROM, i.e. you can't rename/replace it.
Your mileage may vary, as they say.
Good luck.
Hello,
is any change I can change content of Windows foleder files? I mean change for ex. SMS WAW file to my file ...
All this files are System file and I could not change them.
Any help<
Thanks a lot
you dont have to overwrite them. as long as the tone your importing into the folder is in the correct format (if its sms tone your after in this case i believe it does need to be a .wav file) then once file is in folder just go into your ringtone personalisation settings and select the new tone
Hi,
ringtone personalisation settings - does not offer SMS ring tone settings.
Any way, it is more tasks I would like to do, but I do not how to change Win /folder/ files.
Does anybody know any tool how to do it?
Thank you.
settings >>> sounds and notifications >>> notifications >>> in the event drop down box select Messaging:New text message then select the previous .wav file you put into the windows folder
silly me - thanks - I have got it.
Thanks again

I've got some ringtones & notification tones I want to put on my Note 5 from my Note 4, but can't seem to find the right folder. I tried the Ringtone folder, but it doesn't show up on the list when I try to assign them. Can anyone give me the correct location for it/them?

If you are rooted; system / media / audio / ringtones. If you are not rooted use another file explorer besides the stock one and use it to navigate to your regular ringtone folder and select it that way.

That was it, Thanks. I'm not rooted, but was using the stock explorer.

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
How do I trigger media scanner?
