Use periods and actual words.

Just create this directory on the sdcard: /sdcard/media/notifications/ then put any music file you want in there and it'll be a notification tone. Same for ringtones, just make another folder called ringtones instead of notifcations. Also, download the app called ringdroid, and you can copy bits of a song as a tone.

Each email account, under settings just put in the notification sound. Do the same for everything that has notifications. You can pick phone sounds or ringrtones.
All notifications can be used with everything. The same tonesare available for text, emal, facebook, etc. Use a pc, or download astro file manager to create the directories

I personaly use "ringtone maker mp3" from the market. It let's you load music files from ur SD card and edit them to ur liking and save them as either notification/ringtones. After u have saved some ringtones/notification tones, just go to ur contacts, chose a contact and under "edit" u should see a "set ringtone" botton to select a ringtone for that contact. Don't think u can adjust the volume for every custom set contact ringtone, it'll use ur default ringtone/notification volume level. Hope this helps somehow

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
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
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:

Media>Audio>Alarms Place your MP3 there and you should be good to go.

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?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
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.
How do you set custom ringtones?
I added some music files to my phone into a folder in my SD card called music.
My phone plays them just fine, but when I go use folder explorer and go to the song file and long press I don't get an option to set it as a ringtone.
Also, if I go to the option of choosing a ringtone, my choice is only of those default ones.
I am running CM 6.1.
thx!
In Music, long press on the song and select 'Use as phone ringtone.'
You could also put any songs you want specifically as ringtones into /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
download ringdroid from the market
Omg the solution is so simple.
I almost want to cry.
Thanks though!

Hello,
I'm still new to Android.
1. Can you tell me how to load a custom ringtone on this phone?
2. On my old WM phone I could set it to Vibrate 1st then ring so I could reach for my phone before it made noise (and disturb others) if I felt it vibrate. Is there any way to make this happen?

Look for an app called Ringdroid. You can trim and make any music on your phone a ringtone or notification...real easy to do.

Thanks - if i already have a ringtone (wav file for WM) I can't just load that to a directory on the phone?
I have a couple cool ringtones I've accumulated over the years that I'd like to get into my phone... They are mp3 format and I'm sorta lost as to how to load them in also.
Dont need any editing etc; just need to know how to make them show up in the ringtone list!
Its easier if you already have a ringtone that doesn't need editing to still use Ringdroid. Just open it up in the app and just save it like it is.

If its on your computer load it on your phone through Kies air. If you dont know what Kies is open the app on your phone and it will tell you what to type on your desktop. I think you'll get once you see
On the root of your SD card, create a folder called media, then create a folder inside that called audio. Inside the audio folder, you can create "alarms" "ringtones" and "notifications" folders. Then put whatever audio files you'd like in these respective folders. Reboot and the sounds should show up in the default selection list. Mine are all in mp3 format, I don't know if it would recognize wav files or not.

Any way to set it to vibrate first then ring? Basically I'd like the first ring to be a vibrate instead and then go to ring. It was handy on my old Vogue. I could leave it on ring but if I felt the vibration I could use my BT before people were annoyed by my ringer. It made sure I was covered in case I didn't feel the vibrate but it also made it more polite for people around me.

No setting that I'm aware of. To hack it you could create a ringtone that is silence for 5 or 10 or 3 secods at the beginning, then comes in with sound. Kind of a pain and would work only for that specific ringtone, but it would work.
Ideally I'd like to change my ringtone to a song and I'd like to make my text message notification the brief piano intro to outkast's roses. Is there any easy way to go about doing this?
Thanks!
in your sd card there are folders called 'Notifications' and 'Ringtones.' put the respective sound files (they should be in m4a format) where they belong. reboot and they should appear in the settings under sound.

if you have the .mp3 file i suggest using ringdroid then edit the music file to where you want it to start and stop :good:

MP3 ringtone maker works great for me. It's free, lets you search and download songs within the app and has a great editor for cropping in/out points. What more could you ask for?
if you need the ringtone to repeat, I believe it has to be in ogg format and you need to add a parameter to it in the id3tags to tell it to repeat. I did this on my ex's Galaxy Nexus S. I am sure there is more info on this in the general section of the android forums.
Here is a link to the topic I was talking about:

Open the File manager app pre isntalled, called my files i think, go to all files > sdcard > scroll down to Zedge. Check the Notification folder or Ringtone folder and make sure the MP3s (i think thats what Zedge uses) are in there
Yeah. ..the tones are there but when I go back to setting the ring tone, zedge tones are not an option for some reason?

You know I don't care for that Zedge app anymore because of the fact that since 2010 they have yet to support freakin landscape mode especially on a device like this or my old epic 4G which had a keyboard which was so much easier to use in landscape mode yet they don't have to support for it which is beyond me.

i don't want to sound rude but just try something else it clearly has issues since development which means years and they still don't want to do anything with it, not to mention the ringtones are all the same since it came out. the wallpapers aren't even HD, list goes on...
i'm not sure why you're having this issue just try erase the cache in app settings and redownload it
