[Q]Clock Package Custom Alarm Sounds - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Say, has anyone been having a problem with the Clock Package? I tried to customize the alarm sounds , but it asks for an alarm sound to be selected from a ringtone. The folder is supposedly the "alarm" folder in system -> media -> audio -> alarms, but it won't register any added alarm sounds. I've put in .mp3 and .ogg files, but neither are recognized by the selection menu. Do the audio files need to have a certain time/size limit to be considered valid options? Does the app itself need to be modified?

Sorry i didnt explane very well, i was meaning to ask how can i change the alarm tone to a music file or something alike.
normally alarm clock tones are named Alarm1 to 5, choose any music you have in your ppc in wav format and rename it to Alarm6 then put it in the windows directory. Then go to the alarm clock section to set the desired music as alarm tone

If you have several music files to choose from...you don't even have to rename them...just make sure they are in .WAV format ( since this is the only format that seems to be accepted as alarm tones )...paste them in the windows folder...when you go to "Clocks and Alarms" and you click on the "bell", the music files should appear in the dropdown menu.
Hope that helps.

MP3 files for alarms and SMS tones...

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.

How to change the alarm ringtone and default notification?

I have found out if I put audio files into the "Ringtones" folder I get to choose them as phone ringtone.
How can I change the alarm ringtone and default notification?
Put them into the Alarms and Notifications folders.

Connect the phone to your PC. There's a folder called "Alarms" and a folder called "Notifications". Just put the files in there...
Go to your clock -> alarm then select the sound you want.
Go to Settings -> Sound -> Default notification -> select the one you want.
Ain't rocket science!

Anyone having issues with new custom Notifications/Ringtones being available?

Alarms are easy because I have an option in the Clock app to add new alarms to the OS and the custom notifications/ringtones (ogg format) that were copied from my old phone using the Data Transfer Tool show up and work properly. However, no other custom notifications/ringtones (ogg as well) I've added to the system (same directories as the working ones) show up even after multiple reboots. I'm also unable to manually add them since there isn't an "Add new" option for those categories of audio.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

i've had no problem adding custom notifications sounds to my Pixel 2 XL - with one exception - Google Voice. Ringtone, Default Sound, Gmail, Text, Deliveries (Third Party App) all work fine. as with prior Android phones, i simply created a "Media" folder and then within that folder i have the folders "Notifications", "Ringtones", and "Wallpapers" with custom sound files. my notifications are WAV files and my ringtone is a MIDI file. once i place that "Media" folder on my phone's storage and reboot the phone, all sounds are available and "stick" after being selected. again, the only exception is my custom Google Voice Voicemail sound which i can select but it refuses to "stick" and insists on playing my Default Notification Sound and also annoyingly plays it TWICE (double notification). i think this is more of a Google Voice App bug than the phone.

Interesting, the data transfer tool copied the items straight to Noti/Ring/Alarms at the phone root rather than a media directory. I'll try that now.
Thanks Gekko2, looks like it was a combination of the files being 'ogx' (upon further inspection but worked when renamed to ogg only) and not in the Media directories.

glad it helped! now could you PLEASE do me a favor and test and see if a custom sound (WAV File) works as a Google Voice Lite Voicemail Notification on your Pixel 2 XL? Thanks!
I have not had any issues (when adding them manually). However, I do miss the option to add them directly from the sound selection pane like on the original pixels with 8.0.
i solved my problem about using a custom notification on Google Voice. the fix is -
Long Press the Google Voice Icon--->App Info--->App Notifications--->Voicemail--->Sound--->Pick Your Sound
i never knew there was this setting beneath the App Icons let alone that it overrides and "sticks" better than the actual settings within the specific App!
so this still doesn't fix the double notification (i experimented by turning the other settings to "Silent" but that did not work) but maybe the answer still lies in these settings. anyway, i'm just glad i can set a custom Voicemail sound and not be stuck with the "Default". i hope this helps someone else!
I've tried adding mp3 and wav files to Ringtones or Media/Ringtones, and neither have worked even after a reboot.
I'm having a glitch with clock ambient and screen tapping.
Ambient clock will not stay on and tapping in not getting active. Both are on in the settings.
