Within the phone you can change the sound it makes when you receive a new SMS, but the list only shows their default sounds. If i wanted a custom sound, what folder would i put it in?
put them in your windows folder
you can put them in the root directory of your storage card
dude,put mp3 in this folder:
\storage card\My documents
if not shown in your sound configuration,probably you need to convert mp3 to wav

If you go under Application Data/Sounds the system will find your add on custom sounds. Thats where I place all mine and I don't have to spend 30 MIN looking for them if I want to delete one. If you were to put them in the windows folder.
hey guys can someone point me in the right direction as far where the default windows sounds are. i want to use custom tones for the email and text notifications.... thanks a lot
\My Documents\My rings
There are several locations, including Windows folder itself, but some will work as phone call ringtones only and not for events and notifications.
If you download sound packs from Microsoft, they are installed into this folder:
My Device > Application data > Sounds
so I recommend you also place your WAV/MP3/WMA media files there.
Can I use MP3s for alarms and SMS tones.
I thought these kind of features where standard on modern smart phones?
Or is there an app for that
i think theres a special app for that i have seen it somewhere on the cyrket website

Have you tried setting it as a ringtone within the music app? Then from there you might be able to choose it in the alarms and notifications?
make a folder on your SD card (the root of it) called "Notifications" and "Ringtones" then copy your ringtones into one and notifications (SMS and Alarms) into the other. Then they appear in the menus. I had to google about to find this myself!
Alternatively you can set it through the music application!
You need to create specific folders on the SD. I have alarms on the SD root for my alarm tone and notifications for my message tone!

/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Media/Notifications
/sdcard/Media/Ringtones
/sdcard/Media/Alarms
That is how I have it setup so I only have one folder in the sdcard root for all of my alarms, notifications and ringtones.
Mine are set as...
/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Notifications
/sdcard/Ringtones
/sdcard/Alarms
Thx, I will give it a go
Why can't they make things simple these days
SOrry to jump in, but cant someone just run over what i may be doing wrong.
On my SD Card i have the following folder setup :
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
and within the notifications folder i have put an MP3.
BUT it doesnt show up in SETTINGS > SOUND & DISPLAY > NOTIFICATION SOUND
Nor does it show up in ChompSMS or SMSPopup.
I have alos tried to create the folders in the root, with no luck.
I know im beign blind, what am i missing.
Nice one, was wondering how to do this.
hot-fuzz I have the exact same set-up as you, works perfectly for me.
Have you tried with a different audio file?
Just download 'Ringdroid' from the marketplace and you can edit your mp3's in the fly and gives you the option to save as tone/notification etc..
OK, sorted it.
The file will only show up if i put ".mp3" at the end of the file, otherwise it doesnt show up.
Thanks for the headsup on Ringdroid, might give that a bash.
I had some problems but at last it is working with the format
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
I noticed there was a similar layout in the phone's ROM
system/
system/media
system/media/audio
system/media/notifications
system/media/alarms
system/media/ringtones
system/media/ui
There was some Facebook mp4 file in that ringtones folder.
I know that you can place MP3s in the respective folders for notifications and ringtones. There are some sounds that I like to use for both ringtones and notifications, but don't want them to be copied into both folders. It seems like there would be a less space wasting method to do it?
Hi All,
This is a really simple one.
Can I paste a ring tone or an alert (mp3) into the phone or SD card memory and then select it?
I tried but the phone doesn't find the file - where do I need to put it?
Cheers.
Create a folder called ringtones and it should then pick it up
What about alert?
people say to create a folder called media on your sd card with sub folders called ringtones, alarms, etc so you can do that
