Ok Ive been allover searching. Everything says to put the ringtone in the sound folder, and it will appear for me in the ring tones Start>settings>sounds. But it doesnt. Is there somewhere else to put it?

How to move ring folder in windows path on storage memory into program memory
I want to know setting method.
one thing to think about is if phone or sms ring tones can run when the SD card is in sleep mode which mean when the device is off
whenever i mount my phone via USB, it scrambles my ringtone settings. so thinking of storing my ringtones folder on device memory, want to know where to store it so it shows up in the system ringtones. don't want the ringtone files to show up under music.
any ideas? i currently have it mounted in the root of whatever folder shows up when i mount the device via USB.
Is there any reason that I can't move Ringtones folder from the sdCard
to Incredible's internal storage seen when connecting USB cable to windows
computer and choosing Disk Drive option? Thanks for any thoughts on storage options....
Confused...
The Ringtones folder is in /system/media, which is on internal storage. Moving it to SD you'd need to browse to the ringtone each time you wanted it, it wouldn't automatically pull up since the system looks to the default location.
The only way you can see it is by using adb or Droid Explorer.

Thanks for answer
But the Inc can actually find them on the sdCard: I have different ring for
each phonebook entry, and it finds them without pointing.
I was asking because the internal drive doesn't seem to have much more
on it than DCIM, and I wondered if there was any reason not to put ringtones
on the internal drive. I don't ususally adb, only visualize phone's drives on a
windows setup with windows explorer.

You can copy the ringtones folder to emmc (internal storage) and the phone should find them on reboot.
Below is where they can be put.
Internal:
/emmc/ringtones
/emmc/alarms
/emmc/notifications
SD Card :
/sdcard/ringtones/
/sdcard/alarms/
/sdcard/notifications
I tried moving my mp3s (songs, ringtones, notification, & alarm sounds) to my internal EMMC folder since all that internal memory seems to just go to waste. However, my phone was then not able to read/play them and the ringtones, etc could no longer be used either. Through these forums, I found out that's somewhat of a known issue, that internal memory on the Dinc was kinda wacked and has never worked as it should with media.
However, exploring my internal memory via Root Explorer, I realized there's an "audio" folder in the system/media folder which then has folders for alarms, notifications, & ringtones. This is where the stock sounds for each of those is housed. I'm wondering if I transfer my mp3's for each of those into the folder if the Dinc will then recognize and play them - this of course is something I can just try myself and see. But my big question is if I do that will that use the "open" internal memory (which is really my only reason for transferring any of those off the sd card) or will it take away from some other precious system memory of which there is so little extra on the the Dinc?
Thanks for any info in advanced!
it will be stored on the root partition of the phone. it will not really take anything away from you because you need to flash to get anything on that partition. i take all my ring tones and put them into that folder to have them in one spot. one thing is that you will need to reboot the phone before they show up for selection.
Any way to "lock" my ringtones to contacts, so they don't disappear when i pull the extsd card or reboot? Thanks.
P.S. I'm rooted.
lost ringtones

Try putting them in the ringtone folder on the internal memory. I just use file explorer. Its easy to use. That way you contacts will not lose their association with the chosen file.

Thanks for the reply. I use FX File Explorer w/root, and i was just wondering how "deep" into the internal memory do i have to go? I can get into the system settings, if i have to. Right now, all my ringtones & notification tones are on my extsd card. Can i just move both of those folders to wherever you suggest? My problem happens when i unmount the extsd card. Everything goes back to "default". I really appreciate your help. Thanks, again.:good:
You can also place them in the /system/media/audio folder. Remember though, if you have a copy of them in any other folders or on your internal memory or sd card, when you reboot they will show up twice when you are selecting them for your contacts etc.

Thanks. I put them in the internal memory. Internal memory had two folders labeled "ringtones" and "notifications". I also deleted them from the extsd card, and now it's all good. Thanks for the help.:good:
