copy whatever ringtone or sound you want to use in your device's
application data/sounds folder so you can choose it from your settings . If you already have it on your phone, just use resco explorer to move it or copy it.

sms ringtone

Is it possible to change the ringtone for an SMS message?

Here you go!
Yes go to settings tab and click all settings, look under sounds and notifications.
Click on noitifications and select New text messagesfrom top drop down box. Make sure ringtones are on root directory of sdcard. Click the drop down box above play and your ringtone should be in box
there you should be good

Thankyou
Thankyou it works

Glad to help

If by 'change the ringtone' you want to change it to one of the default supplied ones, do as above. If you want a customised .mp3 one, then you need to copy/paste the required ringtone in the Windows folder of the phone, otherwise it will not show up in the list.

or do a search for a program called electric ringo, that allows you to set mp3 for sms tones as well

[Q] Set ringtone

According to FAQ thread, I need to use 3rd party app to set an mp3 as a caller ringtone. Can't I use the native android music player and "set as" just like any other android phones? If this is the case then Imma go pee pee on electric fence... *sad face*
Anyone can confirm this?

Go into People app, click menu button, select Set ringtone...
... it's that simple!
Edit: Well, it's that simple if the mp3 you want is in the ringtone directory - it doesn't pick up ones from your regular music dir.

So you're saying that in music player, there is no "set as " option? Well, that is silly :/

Another alternative is to install GoSMS Pro (free from the market) which ids a great sms app.
The added bonus is that when you go into your contact and select 'set ringtone' you can choose GoSMS instead of Android System. You can then choose between default ringtone, current ringtone, system ringtone or MUSIC which will let you select any mp3 file from your music folder on your phone.

In pre-ICS Android, one could place a file Media in de sd-card. Within that file you made the file "Audio" and in that one you made 3 other files: "notifications", "alarms and "ringtones". In those last 3 files you put the mp3's.
Does that strategy still work in ICS, or can you only put custom mp3's as e.g. ringtone, via a third-party app?

You can just stick mp3's in the pre-existing Ringtones folder. The "problem" is that when you pick a ringtone through the standard interface, it only looks there and NOT in the Music folder.

Does anyone have any sensible explanation as to why they remove "set as" option in music player?

Unfortunately, in ICS, this only lets you add audio files for the ringer. The added files do not show up when trying to select a notification sound for SMS and e-mail. I still haven't found a way to use custom notifications for these things yet.

Drop your mp3 ringtones into /sdcard/Ringtones and reboot your phones. They will then be available in Settings/Sounds/Phone ringtone

The music player is for playing music and not setting ringtones. Doesn't seem silly to me.
Plus not many people want a ringtone that's as long as a song. (3 to 5 minutes)

ringtones go in the ringtones folder, notifications in the notifications folder, alarms in the alarms folder, tis easies!
But...
has anybody noticed custom ringtones only play once?
i have a ringtone that's 3 seconds long...plays it once and then stops :| bit annoying...
EDIT: After googling around a bit i've found the solution to that myself!
I feel like I can be helpful for once. It will loop ringtones if you convert the mp3 to OGG format, and in the file info (you can edit this in Winamp for example), create a field called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to TRUE.

[Q] a few questions new andriod user her please HELP ME

hello guys, i did own a iphone but had so many problems so sold it and bought the htc one x while i love it and me being a first time android user i have a few questions please needing answered...ok here we go
1, the home screen wallpaper what size do i need to make one for just to have the middle home screen? so it will stay static across all homescreen's without scroll? what dimension's?
2, how do install ringtones, music , pictures as i'm on a macbook, can i just plug it into the usb to computer and drag and drop?
3, can i alter my default icons to different ones like the phone , sms icons etc...to custom ones i'm running stock everything as its brand new out the box yesterday and would like to keep it that way if possible...? is it possible?
4, how do i delete app's off the phone i no longer want?
5, i saw a app UCCW custom clock maker how can i install one's from here people have posted zip file for where do the files go? and can i use them running stock firmware etc out of the box?

1. 1280x720...someone please correct me if I'm wrong
2. I usually connect my phone and then open my phone's drive and extract my music files into the "dcim" folder. However you can also just use a program like windows media player or winamp or whatever else program and it should do the transferring part for you. Same with images, I put them in the dcim folder.
If you want to set a song or tune as your ring tone simply open your music app, touch and hold the song/tune you'd like to usw until an option menu extends. Option should be there, simply follow it
3. Yes, you can. However changing icons might only seem possible without rooting your phone if you use an external launcher. Try searching for "go launcher" in the play store. Or use "nova launcher".. note that you won't be able to use sense widgets on external launchers.

4. Open your app drawer, click and touch an app you would like to uninstall. The.background will turn to your home screen and the top right corner should be highlighted "uninstall". Simply drag your all over.
5. That is something someone else would have to answer, but they would be doing me a favor as well, haha! Good luck with your one x. Welcome on board

shadehh has replied most of your questions but I could add in .
4 . You can go to Setting > Apps and click on the apps you want to uninstall too . You can also download Easy Uninstaller from Play Store to have a more easy uninstalling experience .
5 . In android , we use a file type ".apk" to install stuff such as Window's ".exe" to install stuff and so on . So maybe the zip file of the app you mentioned consist the apk file in the zip and yes you can use them running stock firmware etc out of the box .

You can create a folder called "Ringtones" on the root directory of your sdcard and put whatever mp3 you want to use as your ringtone in it. This mp3 can then be selected from settings -> personalize -> sound -> ringtones.
The same goes for alarms and notifications. Just create folders called "Alarms" and "Notifications" on the root directory of your sdcard and they will be selectable in the personalization settings.

You can choose file .mp3 or other when you set ringtone. At top right have Add(+) button. Touch inside to select other song. My english is bad.
