I had this set on my sdcard at one point, but i know you can set the R.A.N. hierarchy to where it will allow you to choose from any mp3 you have in the bottom folder of the hierarchy.
I think it's /sdcard/media/ringtones/alarms/notifications/*.mp3
but if i'm wrong can someone please correct me...
I don't know about that method but rings extended in the market lets you use any mp3 you want for notifications, alarms, and ringtones

I put a few short mp3 tones into a notification folder in memory card.
Next I check in phone settings - sound - notification, found all the mp3 tones I put earlier. Work well.
Then by mistake I edited the notification folder(capitalise them). Next I found out my notification listing two of the same tone on every each of them, one can play and another one just playing system tone.
Tried renaming back the folder but still having two same mp3 name in my notification listing under settings.
Anyway I can delete sound.db to refresh the notification settings..?

So I have a few customer ring tones that I transfered over from my EVO 4G. They are in the Mp3 format and I am able to set the ring tone on an individual level, but I cant set it as a default ringtone.
So how does one set a customer ringtone that is an MP3 as the default ringtone?
Notifications as while?
Much Obliged for all of your help in advance.
Go to settings, then sound. You'll be able to set phone ringtone as well as notification ringtone.
I should have said that I have already tried that. There is no option that lets me pick the sounds that are on my SD card.
For example when I go into my contacts list and go to ringtone, there is three options, Default Ringtone, Select sounds from My Files and Phone Ringtone.
Now when I go to Sounds it just gives me a bunch of generic sound files. Nothing from my selection.
you just move the sound file to the /media folder using any file manager app. Then it should show up in the list of sounds when you set your ringtone. The same steps can be done for notification sounds. If you're confused, there's plenty of youtube video tutorials showing you step by step information.
I do it this all the time, I create custom ringtones with Audacity (cut out the chorus and fade the track in and out so it sounds cleaner). Right now I have the Jetsons door bell as my notification sound
Just a wild guess that you didn't put your custom ringtones in the proper file location on your SD card.
You need to create a folder called "media" (no quotes). Inside that folder create a folder called "audio". Inside that folder create 3 separate folders called "alarms", "notifications" and "ringtones".
Place your custom ringtones in the ringtones folder, reboot (not sure if that's necessary) and your customs will show up.

Thanks alot guys. That was exactly my problem, I did not have the media folder.
Wasn't exactly sure where it should have gone so I used ringdroid to create another Ringtone and it place the media folder along with the Ringtone folder on my SD card.
Always amazes me how simple a problem can be resolved if you have one price of information.
Thanks again. You are the best.

DO I have to have the same ringtones on all the folders so I can place custom ringtones in say text email etc..?
thanks
if not where are the text ringtones located at? I did a search by name and nothing came up though I have ring tones to choose from
thank you again
You can always download RINGDROID from the market. It lets you "trim" your mp3's and set them as default/contact ring tone or notification.
So far that is the best way I found to work in my phone.
Sorry if this has been asked . But how do you add your music for a text message tone. Do you have to convert them to a ogg file ?

Create a folder on the root of your SD card called "Media". Inside that make a folder called "Notifications", put the song in there. Reboot your phone then it should show up as a notification tone
Peace all...
While I like the phone--a lot--I'm having difficulty coping over my notification sounds from my other phone. For some reason, no notification sound that I add or copy over to my phone will show up in "notification" sounds, It doesnt matter if I create a separate folder entitled "NOTIFICATIONS" and add them there. i'm confused. Does the HTC 10 not allow 3rd party notification sounds or from other apps such as Zedge?
please advise
I didn't have the sounds recognized from my SD card. I had to copy them to the Notifications and the Ringtones folders on the internal memory.

Some file managers will work to set your notification sound.
