For some reason it may be seeing removed ringtones, or for some reason the files are there twice in the system folder..
Do you have a copy in a media folder on your SD card?

Quick question: is it possible to add custom sounds to stock notification panel? By that I mean add a song to the alarm choices... I know how to do this on my X but I'm asking for a friend who is a Evo user TIA

I'm looking through my system directories right now to figure out where these sound files are located. If I can find them, I bet we can replace them.
EDIT: One easy way is to just drag your MP3 of choice to /media/audio/notifications on your SD card. It will show up in the list of sounds for notifications, so you can set a custom text message or email sound. Still working on the alarm.
EDIT 2: From another thread:

Trying it now.
EDIT 3: Yup, that did it. Just make a new folder called "alarms" on your SD card under /media/audio and put your MP3 in there. Thanks, I had been wondering about this as well.
Thanks you fckin RAWK just KNEW I was gonna get flamed for this post on the DROID devices it's pretty simple to add sounds but, I have no knowledge of Evo but wanna help a bigger "n00b" than me if I can

Just to cover my bases, check my edited post above, it does work.
That's how it's done on DROID basically... So it adds to alarms also on Evo?

Yes, I put a new MP3 in my new "alarms" folder and it showed up in my alarms options list for a new alarm. I also put one in "notifications" and was able to set it as my default notification sound (texts, voicemail, email, etc). But they are independent of each other - having an MP3 in "notifications" does not put it in the alarms menu.
I added some ringtones to the phone and when I use the music player, it's picking them up and playing them. Anyway to hide these? I also had a voicemail play too. That was bizarre. I had an older phone on Froyo and tried .nomedia but then the ringtone wouldn't work. Will it work on Gingerbread? Thanks!
I have my music and videos on my external SD card... and my internal stuff like ringtones on the internal SD card. That does the trick for me although I don't use the Music and Video apps that come with the phone.
Very simple. Create an empty file and name it ".nomedia" and put it in the directory that you want to hide. It will also hide any folders within that folder. For example, I put the .nomedia file in the root directory of the internal SD card. Rebooted the phone and ran gallery and everything on that card was invisible. It just tells the program to not scan here and anything deeper. It works for audio files too.

Thanks but when I tried that on Froyo, it hid the files so completely that I couldn't even choose them as ringtones! Is that fixed on GB?

Find the ringtones and move them to the media folder. Place the ringtones in the correct folder in media. There's 3 folders in that one folder ringtones, notifications, and record. Make sure you place them in the correct one. For example if you put a ringtone in the notification folder when you try to set ringtone it won't be in the list of ringtones but in the notification list and would only be available to be set as a notification. Hope that helps!

Thanks! That's brilliant. So easy too. Worked great. I didn't have those folders so had to create them. Would have been nice if Android would automatically create them so you know where to put stuff. Or did it and I deleted them?

thanq for the help
I was wondering if anyone could give any insight into a problem I'm having. I've asked around and nobody can give me an answer. But no matter what version of a jelly bean rom I flash, my gallery will not show my camera folder from my previous cm9 rom, or any pictures in my external sd.
Nobody else is having this problem so I'm thinking it has to be me. I always fully wipe everything before flashing. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.
So gallery is working but pictures aren't showing up? If that's the case sdrescan

I've downloaded a few apps that rescan the SD card. No dice.
Hi, i had the same problem in the past.
Connect your phone to the computer.
Look in the folder from your picture. Is there a file that calls "nomedia" or similar. Sometimes it is in the root of the SD.
Maybe you must change some settings in the Windows folder option to see the "hidden" file.
Is the file only in the camera or DCIM folder you cant see only the pictures and videos.
If the file is in the root of the SD, you cant see any pictures, videos and music.
Solution: delete the file "nomedia"
Really?i had the Anne problem before and "sdrescan" worked. I just ran the app and left it there for a good 15mins

Thanks! This helped me also!
Guys, please direct my old head towards adding custom notifications to text, email etc, that I have on my external SD card in mp3 format. It was easy to add my ring tone as that one had add on the bottom of the page. None of the other notifications have that.
Had no problems with my original Note. Is JB so different? Or did my old head forgot how I did it on GB.
Your help greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
I haven't tried it with files on the external SD but for my notifications (also .mp3) I just put them in a folder called "Notifications" on the internal memory. It may work on the external SD too, I'm not sure.
Yes just create folder on external sd and call it ringtones or notifacations..if that dont work copy ur mp3 to system media then audio copy in there

I had problems for some reason until I used Ringdroid.
Not sure what - permissions or something?

Many thanks for all your replies. After going to my external memory card and finding the relevant mp3 files and ticking them, I did eventually find the copy button. It was then an easy task to paste them in to my notification folder.
Think my problem was to find the copy and paste button/tab in the first place.
Many thanks again.
Regards,
I don't really like selections of ringtones and notification sounds that come on this device. I found a file containing all the stock Android ringtones and notification sounds, and they are all in the .ogg format like the files on the phone already. After rooting and copying the files over to the media folder the files don't seem to play. I tested the files on my PC and they play fine. Do i have to do any type of conversion to make this work?
P.S.
I got the sounds for this post

You shouldn't need to convert it. I use ring droid social to edit ringtones from music I have on SD card and DL notifications from websites
