I have found that you cannot save your own ringtones to the Kin (any Kin model). I've read that we were able to get into the file structure of the Kin but nowhere further. Has anyone found a way to put custom ringtones on the Kin so that you can use any ringtone instead of the crappy pre-loaded files?
make a ringtone and send it to your phone via email.

Possibly another obvious question here for you (yawn) my appologies...!
Ive downloaded a few ringtones for my XDA and loaded them onto activesync>mymobiledevice>windows>rings
So, to use them, it should be a simple case of start>settings>phone>ringtone then select the one i want.
However, they dont show in this menu, and i cant find them anywhere else.
Am i missing something?
Thanks
Matt
I don't have the answer to this. Just joining you in the question. Sticking mp3's in the windows/rings directory (of my xda 2) doesn't do the trick. Weird.
Doh. Found the answer: (by using the search button: doh x2)

Ok so now i have it working... i didnt seem to do anything different, my tones have now simply appeared under ringtones - but they wont play! The standard pre-set tones play, but my loaded wav files wont!
Can anyone tell me why? :evil:
wav is an odd std and they differ in format really
if the wav is not acpm type they cant be played
wma is kinda like mp3 and those also works but only for rings not for std pda notifications
Is there a way to have different ringtone for different peoples sms messages?
BUMB would like to know also
and i cant make custom tones for my SMS
Same here
so far the only way I have done it is to rename the sound I want to one of the default sounds name (ex. Alert-High) and over write it in windows folder.
I thought there was a registry add to add custom sounds to the list but I cant find it.
This doesn't allow custom sounds for different people but it allows A custom sound for SMS/MMS
Try Qorefunctions
they make a program called InBox Tones that is supposed to do the trick.
I used in on my Fuze but it kept crashing or hanging, probably overwhelming the system resources. I'm optimistic it will do much better on the Tilt 2 but haven't gotten around to checking it out yet
Good luck!
try the Ringo Mobile
http://ringomo.com/windows.php
I use this program a lot of years and it is working perfectly (some time I have to delete the file /My Documents/ringo.log because increases very much!)
yeah i had this same problem. i ended up moving the sound file to windows/rings. it wont read them from "my ringtones"
Alright go easy on me guys. I searched the rhodium forums and all the results pretty much showed me to all the various rom's that are available, i guess the word ringtone, alerts or w.e must be in each one.
is there any packages out there somewhere for some custom ringtones? I want a bigger selection than whats available on my phone now. Any ideas?
You can use whatever mp3 file you want. Just put it in the "application data\sounds\" directory and you'll be able to select them.
I personally just cut out a part of a song to use as a ringtone and then use movie/tv quotes as SMS and email notifications.
i have RUU 2.2 on my Incredible. -- it only contained 1 Ringtone (Verizon Default).
my energy is focused towards projects for Cisco VPN and remote server support.
your 1 or 2 sentence reply can save me much time. -- thanks in advance.
where do i add custom audio files so i can quit using this awful ringtone?
system/media/audio
Thanks again!
The audio folder was totally empty. So I took the sub folders from cm6..
I find it interesting that there is a default ringtone if these folders disappear. I could never find the location of the default ringtone named "Verizon Default".
Well I have a similer problem but when I load files into the system/media/ringtones on the Incredilbe-4.06.605.2-Gingerbread-2.3.4-RLS2-Rooted-Signed they wont show. Also the ringtones that show up in my settings ringtones is in that folder so where whould they be.
I have spent hours trying to find them with no luck.
Hi There, I've just bought a Defy and so far I love the phone. I'm new to android having previously owned a Samsung i8910 with CFW. I've rooted the Defy.
Is there a way to change the notification tone and to add a tone of my own? I've changed the ringtone to a personal one but I can only choose pre set tones for messages but I'd rather add my own. I'm using 2.51.1 Retail GB firmware
Is there any way of doing this????

There's no need at all to install an app - in fact you'd be better off not doing so, they tend just to screw things up.
All you need is a folder on your memory card - /media/audio/notifications
Anything you put in there should appear in the list of notification tones, provided the file is a supported format.
If you've installed the Facebook app, you'll already have that folder on your memory card as it creates it so it can add the 'Facebook pop' tone.
Great, thank you both for your advice. I've now added my own tone. This is a great modding community!

I agree, but probably not this particular app.

Android ability to manage ringtones sucks, just because it allows you to use ringtones from SDcard but the sdcard have to be mounted by the phone, and many times thats not the case. and the phone will just play a "Error Tone". And you can't rely on it, because it makes not just ringtones or notifications but also alarms fail.
Best is always to move them to /system/media/audio/ringtones, or find a way to save and use ringtones in /data partition, which is always mounted
