Hey guys,
First want to put a big thanks out there to the bright minds in the XDA community that helped me get my at&t droid rooted, works fantastic!
Secondly, my girlfriend has an un-rooted HTC Inspire HD and she downloaded the MP3 Music Downloader from the app market and made a ringtone. She saved that ringtone to her SD card. At some point, her phone battery died. When she turned it back on the ringtone didn't show up. I downloaded an sd file explorer program and found it on the SD card. How do I move that file back to her media folder so she can use it as a ring tone again? Or is there a thread that has already addressed this kind of problem? Thanks in advance!

I'm on CM7 so it could be different on your phone.
With adb (or root explorer) copy the ringtone you want to:
/system/media/audio/ringtones/
Then it will appear in the list of ringtones (after reboot)
nb: I also never use a non-rooted phone. So I don't really know the limitations.
I'll give that a shot thank you!

I have a rooted MT3G Slide that I want to get the ringtones and notification tones off of and put them on the G2. So the question is an easy way without root on the G2 (obviously) get them from the slide to the G2?
I do not know how to extract them from the Slide ROM.
Ideas?
go to the MT Slide android development thread look for any rom and open the rom .zip and the ringtones should be under: SYSTEM/MEDIA/AUDIO extract out of the folders and ull be good.. now getting them into the G2 will be a lil more difficult..
and then make a folder an the root of the sd card called ringtones and stick the ring tones in there and make another folder called notifications and stick notification ring tones in there.
Yea as long as the audio files you are copying are a supported format you should just be able to put them in the media folder like any other ringtones. I get my notification sounds from NES sound packs. My ringtones are just some mp3s. Can't imagine the stock ringtones on the MT slide were so good you need to extract them lol make some new ones for your spiffy new G2

Why? Just do like klone96 said, get the ringtones out of a rom .zip, copy them to your SD card in a folder named ringtones.
Thanks guys, i appreciate it!
Please close the thread.

bwahahaha...
made my day..
really.
for you the OP,
notification and ringtone files is located on
/system/media/audio
you have to be rooted, to access /system partition
and have a proper root file manager like root explorer for example.
How do I make my music I have downloaded my ringtone new Gnex owner coming from the RAZR and I can't for the life of me figured it out unlocked rooted and running .89 JB from team eos

If it doesn't already exist, make a folder on the root of your nexus' internal storage called "ringtones" and place your mp3's in there, then reboot. They will now appear in your list when choosing a ringtone. You can do the same for notification sounds with a folder called "notifications."
Alternatively, you can browse to the file in the stock music player, long press on th song and choose "use as ringtone"

*sigh* you rooted your phone but you don't know this? Either plug it into your computer and it pops up as "internal storage" or download a file manager app like Explorer and do it right on your phone (although internal storage will now be called "sdcard")
edit: Appreciate the thanks =D

Im currently on the Rooted Stock FC09 rom and ive been having a problem with my music players not recognizing any music on the EX SD.. I also noticed on reboot that media scanner is not reading the EX SD.. Ive checked for the " nomedia" folder and did not see one..
Ive searched several posts, and havent found anything to help yet..
This happened to me once before.... basically your phone does not ever scan for media on sd card right? I don't think I found a way to actually "fix" it but I was told to try an app called media scanner (or something like that). It didn't help me but you can try it. If it doesn't work I think u may need a new rom or reflash.

The .nomedia can be a hidden file. Make sure your file explorer is set to see hidden files. View it on a computer if possible.

So, apparently none of the stock music players give any option to add local files/folders?
WHAT THE **** is the reason for this? Have to purchase every track from HTC or Google play to listen on my device?
Added songs to device in standard mp3 format. Can not figure out anyway to play them without downloading some ****ty third party file manager, navigating through the cluster **** android folder tree and selecting them each time I want to play.
Please help before I dig out my UT starcom PPC because it's more user friendly than the 'best phone you can buy'
I hope I'm a total noob idiot and there is something preposterously easy I missed. Please help.

I put it in the /sdcard/music folder and it's detected automatically... Though I don't think it even needs to be in that folder for Android to detect it. Not sure where you're going wrong.

What format files are you putting on the phone?
My Sprint version finds all my local music (in MP3 format) on the SD card fine with both Google Music and HTC Music Apps.
I just created a 'music' directory on my sd card and filled it up. I have a mix of mp3 and flac in there. Music player found it and played.... you don't have to buy from Google.
For that sh** you want Apple.

How did you add them? If you are using a wireless transfer like ftp or one of the apps out there, it may not work. Let me know how you added and i'll tell you how to fix.
Downloaded rar from Google drive. Extracted files into
/downloads

Fixed. Thanks. There is something wrong with my folder tree. Will only recognize files if they are in /music. Problem is that third party 'file manager' can't read the storage on my phone properly, created/displaying 3 to 4 copies of diff folders, sd cards (im only using internal storage), etc. Had to try 4 diff /music folders to find the right one.
Is there a native file Explorer that I missed? I've noticed that some programs are in the phone without having icons in launcher. 'Voice recorder' is one. I can open it with google now voice, but it shows up nowhere in my launchers.

Simply use a file manager and move everything you downloaded to another directory and move it back. When you extracted the files, the system never implemented them like if you were to transfer using windows or aft on a mac or htc sync. The system doesn't actually know they are there. If this does not work, dowload that rar on your computer and manually move music to the device, it will pick them up automatically

What format are the music files in?
Are you sure you actually extracted them?
I wouldn't keep music in "Downloads" that seems like an awkward place to keep it and might be treated specially.
I consider downloads a "Temp" folder that I can wipe any time because it fills up with junk over time.
Also are you rooted? There are issues of 3rd party apps accessing the external SD Card.
You may have two /downloads one on external SD card and one on internal SD card.

That's nonsense. That sounds like you never really extracted them. And when you "copy" them you are actually extracting them.
Once extracted they should be EXACTLY like you copied them there. If you are doing it right.
Some compression formats and browsers make it look like they are extracted, but they are not. You are just browsing within the RAR or ZIP file.
You need to explicitly "Extract" to somewhere else.
The best test is. Delete the RAR file. If you still see the files then they are extracted and no need to copy them back and forth.
But again. I think downloads is a bad place to keep your music.
Still ridiculous to not allow me to manage my own library.
Let Apple dumb it down for everyone. We aren't buying their products for a reason, and this is it.

They were definitely extracted and moved to several locations. Each time (before I found the 'correct /music) I could use a file manager to force open them in a media player, but they were never added to the library until copied into the magic music folder.

You can get poweramp if you want to manually manage directories. There is no magic music folder btw, stock app picks up any folder but i'm glad you got it working.
If you do get PowerAmp, make sure you untick everything except your Music folder (under Settings>Folders & Library), or you'll have ringtones and notifications show up, too.
