I looked around a bit, couldnt really find what I was looking for.
First, where are the default ring tones and notification/alarm sounds stored? I assume there is a system folder somewhere.
Second, I would also assume you could add your own sounds (adb?) to the folder for your own custom ring tones and notification/alarm sounds?
Lastly, what is the easiest way to extract sounds from one rom to be used in another rom? For instance, I really like the stock sounds from Warm Z but didnt like the lock screen and need 4G. So I went back to Warm 5 but would like to use the sounds from Warm Z?
Zedge from the market.

using root explorer you will find them in system/media/audio
mount as r/w and you can remove them, add your own. after a reboot the changes are shown
/system/media/audio
If you want sounds from another rom, just unzip the rom file and pull the files you want from the directory above.
Thanks all
anyone wanna help me with some commands to copy the files into the system folders? I dont know the commands for this OS, all I know are basic DOS commands. I extracted what I wanted from Warm Z rom and just want to put them in the audio folders. I have them stored on my SD Card. Can I use Terminal Emulator for this? Or has to be done from the PC?

You could just download the Stock rom unzip it and go to system/media/audio and get them.

Thats true. But now here is the question, I have tried replacing the audio folder with the one that comes with CM6.1.2 and I have like doubles of each ringtone but they all make the same 1 sound.
Any fix for this?
Is it possible you have them on your storage card too? I'm not real sure how CM structures his audio stuff so I can't really answer that. You could unzip his rom replace the files zip it back up and flash it and see if it does the same thing.
So this may be a nub question but if lets say i create a zip with the folder "system/media/audio/xx" and flash it, it will flash? dont I have to sign it?
For example, I replaced the /system/media/audio/x content with the default ones from the stock rom, but when I go to Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone, i got like tons of other ringtones in the list and they all play the same sound when previewing.
If that helps break it down on what I'm trying to fix lol. I have a nandroid but I have made so many adjustments today, I would loose a lot to roll back.
All you need to do is download a stock rom, take out the Audio folder of that rom and then place that Audio rom onto the root of your SD card. Once the Audio folder is placed on the SD card go into sound settings, ring tones etc.. and you will see that all the files from that Audio folder are there and there will be doubles of some sounds. Once you confirm that the stock sounds are there, go back and delete the Audio folder you put on the root of the SD card and then all the double files will go away and you still have the stock ring tones along with CM tones.

Thanks for you response. Yeah thats what I was doing earlier. But the list kept showing doubles after reboot. Then I gave up for a good 15...20 minutes and everything was back to normal, Had all the regular ringtones back on there, Guess it was hung or something, no idea lol.
Thanks though;-)
When I unzip the ROM it only contains image files. Am I using the wrong ROM?
Greetings folks,
I'm totally stoked with my G2, everything works 100% out the box, which is more than I can say for any of the three Vibrants I've had. There is one thing I miss though; The vibrant had a much better ringtones and sound effects than the G2. Where are these files located in the android system so I can copy the ones from the vibrant to the G2? Cheers for any help.
Dennis
Its in the settings and scroll to sound and that's were you will find it and you can add your own but it requires connection to a computer but its easy

Put them on the sdcard. You can use the from there.
Is it in a subfolder or something? When I plug my vibrant in to my laptop I can browse folders on the phone, but I have yet to find a folder called "sounds" within the settings folder. I'm running Win7 64bit if this helps or hinders. Thanks.
I have all mines in an Audio folder then sub folder in that with notifications, ringtones, alarm.. and they get picked up in each individual setting I believe..

Use your computer and drag your audio folder onto the SDCard after you mount the card from your phone
Reboot required for them to get recognized

ah ok, got it. Is it the same for notifications too? all I did was open the file in music and used the set as ringtone. I didn't see it on the menu in settings... is there a different way to do so?
****EDIT**** Nevermind! I see it now! Thanks a lot! Hope others that feel as noobish as I did, and didn't want to ask can just read what just happened.
But where are the stock ringtones and sound effects located that come on the phone out the box? I want to copy those off of my vibrant onto my G2. If they're on the phone from the factory they must be somewhere-I just haven't been able to find them when I hook my phone up to my computer. Even in debug mode I can't locate them. I'm totally raising my hand as a noob here, so please forgive me if they're hidden right in front of my face.

You cant access them unless you have root access.
If you do.......they should be located in \system\media\audio\

Ahh. Right, well there it is. Its not rooted. At least it wasn't in front of my face. Cheers for the info.

You can get to and view the folder via ADB without root. You can also use adb to copy the files to your PC even if you don't have root. You just can't copy them back.

You can use OI File Manager to copy them also (the file manager that works/recommended with Dropbox) without having Root. I used that to see that there is no freaking lock sound file on the G2 under /system/media/audio/ui sigh...
Is it possible to use the .zip of the supplemental audio Cyanogen uses in CM on the G2?
I miss all the notification sounds I used in CM, so I was wondering if it's possible to unpack that .zip to the proper areas for use. I can't remember if anything went to /system, so I figured I'd ask.
Edit: Kinda pointless question now that we have S-OFF/Permaroot/whatever. New topic: Find that .zip!
If its just audio files try placing on the SD card and selecting from there. I've had issues before but downloaded rings extended and it worked. Found this link...hope it helps.

Sent from hell on my G2
I get 404's on the .zip's linked on the page. That's the file I'm looking for, too.
Just open up one of his ROM's and pull them out
I have always put the audio files for each respective folder in my Music folder and they always show in the context menu.
Music\ringtones
\alarms
\notifications
So a folder for each event...you should be able to pull the files from one of the many builds on his site.
If I recall correctly, make this folder structure:
/sdcard/media/audio
Then in that audio folder make 3 folders:
alarms
ringtones
notifications
I know that worked in the past for me, but haven't tried it on the G2 yet.

I can confirm that works. had been running my own sounds since day one of the G2.
lol i had one of these and i basically traded it for a vibrant(long story), anywho i fell in love with the full court ringtone... is there any way this can be taken from the phone, like from a zip of the system or smthn like that?
If you're lucky enough to have a flashable zipped ROM of the "host" phone, you can open it up and copy out the ringtones. They're stored in /system/media/audio. Also, if the phone is rooted and you have access to the /system directory, you can copy them to the sd card and transfer over USB to your computer.
No longer have access to the phone, I really love that ringtone, I kno someone here is rooted with access to sys files... Maybe they could throw me a bone

Check the ROM bible in the dev section and see if you can find a stock rom to download. It should have the tone you want.
Hi every, I've downloaded several ringtones using Zedge application as yours should notice in the img1.png attached. I'm trying to change the default tone using one of this and can't see them. Where I should place them in the internal storage (see img2.png)?
Cheers and thanks in advance

Wrong section. Your post is supposed to be in "Q & A" section.
You just need to create a folder "Ringtones" in the internal SD card. Then copy your ringtones to this folder.

You could also put in the system folder if you have root access. I currently have the Skyrocket so this solution might not work for you. I put my .ogg file in /system/media/audio/ and then into the proper sub directory either /alarms /notifications or /ringtones. Then rebooted my system and I could assign them properly. Actually the first suggestion worked for me as well, but I just like having all my files in the same place. So it might work or it might not... i can't say for sure. I subscribe to the nexus development because g/f's mom who has the nexus and likes slim rom a lot.

Nice I'll try your solution later because I need to install some kind of Root Explorer and I've in my PC at home as for the first solution could not work due to .mp3 extension? I'm on GNex ROM 1.9.0 with 4.1.1

Yeah I think that the .ogg will work for sure. I just used root explorer the app to find out what my other ringtones were and then converted the ringtone to that file.
You have to put your ringtones in a folder called "Ringtones". Not just in the internal SD card.

I have a few mp3's and ringtones I got from zedge as well and I couldn't see them at first - you just need to let the mediascanner find them. A reboot will force the phone's mediascanner to do so, or it'll find them on its own in a little bit.

Ringtone/mp3 files will not be available as ringtones unless they are in the ringtones folder. Rebooting the phone won't change that, at least not with the stock ROM.

One reason to NOT put custom ring tones in the /system/media/audio/ringtones folder is that if you wipe your system (to change ROM's, for example), is that the system wipe would then also wipe your custom ringtones. However, if you place them in the Ringtones folder on your sdcard, that doesn't get wiped, and you'll be able to use the ringtones right away after flashing a new ROM, and you won't have to re-copy them onto your phone.

The post before mine had already ascertained which folder to put them in, I was just adding that to force a mediascan of that folder a reboot would do the trick. Sorry for any confusion
install es file explorer on to your phone.
When you want to select a new ringtone, the phone will ask you to either select a "system tone" or "select a file" (using the file explorer)
then you just navigate to the sound file no matter what folder you stored it in (on your sd)
