[Q] Pull ringtone from a specific ROM? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I flashed Ruby 1.1.4 the default ringtone was called something like 'de mari...something something' it was a 8-bit song
I had assumed it's a ringtone from the default AOSP ringtone set however when I flashed Cyanogen 6.1 it wasn't there. I was wondering if anyone could help me pull the ringtone from the ROM so I can use it where ever I want.
Or could you pull the ringtone and share as a .zip or as a .mp3?

all system sounds (ringtones, notifications, alarms etc.) are in /system/media/audio in their respective folders. just download the rom and open up the zip to find them.

[Q] Your own ringtones in the system ringtone list

Can anyone tell me how i can put my personal ringtone in the phones memory so it appears in their ringtone list?
Also the same with text message notifications?
I'm having a problem where if I select my own mp3 ringtone, it will play the last mp3 i've been listening to as my ringtone as opposed to the actual ringtone i want.
Thanks
I have mine stored in /sdcard/Media/audio/ringtones
ringtones go in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ ive not tried adding my own but i suppose you could either add them to the rom .zip before flashing or push them to that location using adb
Look for "Android System Information" in the Market.
Install and open it, then look under the system tab, and expand/open the environment section.
You will get to see a list of the folder variables where the system looks for media.
In case a Cooker has changed something specific, these should show the right location.

Ringtone from Ruby?

The default ringtone on ruby, it sounded like an 8 bit ballad. I assumed it was default to AOSP however it's not on Cyanogen. Can somebody pull it from the ROM and upload it for me so I can use it as a ringtone in Cyanogen?
(.zip or .mp3 preferred)
I don't use the default ringtone so I'm not sure which one you mean. I just zipped up all the Ruby ringtones. They are in ogg format. You'll have to convert it if you want it as an mp3.

Thank you, I"m using the ringtone now

How to make custom default ring tones?

So I have a few customer ring tones that I transfered over from my EVO 4G. They are in the Mp3 format and I am able to set the ring tone on an individual level, but I cant set it as a default ringtone.
So how does one set a customer ringtone that is an MP3 as the default ringtone?
Notifications as while?
Much Obliged for all of your help in advance.
Go to settings, then sound. You'll be able to set phone ringtone as well as notification ringtone.
I should have said that I have already tried that. There is no option that lets me pick the sounds that are on my SD card.
For example when I go into my contacts list and go to ringtone, there is three options, Default Ringtone, Select sounds from My Files and Phone Ringtone.
Now when I go to Sounds it just gives me a bunch of generic sound files. Nothing from my selection.
you just move the sound file to the /media folder using any file manager app. Then it should show up in the list of sounds when you set your ringtone. The same steps can be done for notification sounds. If you're confused, there's plenty of youtube video tutorials showing you step by step information.
I do it this all the time, I create custom ringtones with Audacity (cut out the chorus and fade the track in and out so it sounds cleaner). Right now I have the Jetsons door bell as my notification sound
Just a wild guess that you didn't put your custom ringtones in the proper file location on your SD card.
You need to create a folder called "media" (no quotes). Inside that folder create a folder called "audio". Inside that folder create 3 separate folders called "alarms", "notifications" and "ringtones".
Place your custom ringtones in the ringtones folder, reboot (not sure if that's necessary) and your customs will show up.

Thanks alot guys. That was exactly my problem, I did not have the media folder.
Wasn't exactly sure where it should have gone so I used ringdroid to create another Ringtone and it place the media folder along with the Ringtone folder on my SD card.
Always amazes me how simple a problem can be resolved if you have one price of information.
Thanks again. You are the best.

DO I have to have the same ringtones on all the folders so I can place custom ringtones in say text email etc..?
thanks
if not where are the text ringtones located at? I did a search by name and nothing came up though I have ring tones to choose from
thank you again
You can always download RINGDROID from the market. It lets you "trim" your mp3's and set them as default/contact ring tone or notification.
So far that is the best way I found to work in my phone.

Custom notifications sounds won't play.

Wow, this is maddening! I've read a lot of threads about ringtones and sounds but none seem to acknowledge what is happening on my VS986 11a phone. I have put custom notification and ringtone files in the appropriate system folders. In fact, I put the same files in both ringtones and notifications folders. The files appear there and will show up when I try to change the notification sound for a specific app. I can select and hear them as ringtones but not as notification sounds. When you select one of the custom sounds for an app, it plays the system default sound, Crystal.
I initially put them in as mp3 files. I noticed that all system sounds are ogg files, so I changed them to ogg. Still no joy. When I play the files from the system folder with SE Music Player, the files play just fine. They simply won't play as app notification sounds. What gives?

Pixel 2 xl personal ringtones and notifications resetting to default after restart

No idea why it's doing this, but every ringtone amd notification I set from the app Zedge is automatically reset to default when I restart my phone. It's only happening with the individuals I set it to. Any ideas?

I don't know if this will help you or not. If your rooted, change the file extension of the ringtone from .mp3 to .ogg then select what ringtone you want to use. Are you using a particular app to set ringtones other than zedge?

Why would they need to be rooted to change the file extension of a file that they downloaded?
As for the OP's problem, figure out where the ringtones are downloaded to, move them to a folder called Ringtones on the root of your accessible internal memory (if it's not there, create it) and move the ringtones to that folder. Then you can select them in your phone settings and/or the stock contacts app. Zedge is a great app for getting ringtones and wallpaper, but it's not so good when it comes to applying them. I don't think it has been updated for android oreo.
