Hi,
i search a way to reproduce my configuration sound on my ONEX.
I come from windows mobile then i was manage sound for every notification like Battery Low, usb connect, mail, calendar, sms, mms, and some others various settings available on WInMo...
But on Android, i can only manage my ringtone and a standard notification for all sms, email, calendar & more...
Where is the legendary ability to make everything on Android device... Customisation pass by sound too...
If everybody as a "third app" or secret, can you sahre with me...
Rewards ; A generic graphic request !
Root ur phone and get in to /system/media/audio. There is the sounds. If u want to change them, replace the files inside the folders. But remember: the name MUST be the same, otherwise it will not work.

I think what you mean is customise each app for its own tone? If so, you go into the app itself i.e. Messages (SMS) and in the top right click Menu > Settings > Notifications. In there is where you change the sound. Same for "most" other apps, it's in the app menu itself. To add your own custom tones you downloaded, create a folder on your SD card called "Notifications" and drop te sound in there. Reboot phone so it rescans and your new tones should be available. Worked for me

Only need find a way to boost external audio speaker..

For me the external speaker is loud enough. I wouldn't want to boost it any more as it borders on distortion on some of my louder tones with volume on full.
I use TTS voice (transform in MP3) custom notification.. and voice is very low !!
Already boosted using Audacity !!

I have recently upgraded to WM6.1 (kavanna's) and i have put the rinku iconbar on it and the weather sliding panels, kinoma freeplayer and all teh other prgrams that i have seen that work well. Love the ROM, great work to all, but i just have one question.
How do i get pictures and ringtones for my contacts because right now all i have is the number and name listed and i don't have an option for selecting a ringtone or assinging a picture to them. I have been searching throught the threads for 2 days and the most i can find is little info about a program called RINGO and photo...somethin pro and there wasn't much postive feedback about either.
Please help
Thanks
6.1 same as 6
start - contacts - edit
custom ringtones will need to be on main memory if I'm not mistaken
scroll down to select pics or set custom ringtone

Custom ringtones can also be on the root of storage card.
The contact you wish to add these too has to be in the phone mem not sim
You probably don't see the options for pictures and ringtones because the contacts are stord on the SIM. Move them to the phone memory and it will open up those options.
thanks i had them all on my sim card didn't realize i had to move them back to access those options Thanks again

yea took me a while to figure that too but now that i've found it i don't let those free phone getters laugh at me cuz i can't see the pic of whos calling me. lol
does anyone know the folder structure for making sure, if i store sounds on the storage card, that any alerts are purely for short sounds, and custom rintones selects a folder full of just my ringtones?
meaning:
Custom Ringtones -------> ring tone only folder on storage card
Custom Alerts ------> short sounds only folder on storage card
??? i thought i had it right but my custom ringtones options (all ringtones on the storage card are stored under storage card/my ringtones) ALWAYS brings up all my short sounds too (which are stored in storagecard/my documents).
all my alerts options bring up short sounds only.
Is it possible to change the ringtone for an SMS message?
Here you go!
Yes go to settings tab and click all settings, look under sounds and notifications.
Click on noitifications and select New text messagesfrom top drop down box. Make sure ringtones are on root directory of sdcard. Click the drop down box above play and your ringtone should be in box
there you should be good
Thankyou
Thankyou it works
Glad to help
If by 'change the ringtone' you want to change it to one of the default supplied ones, do as above. If you want a customised .mp3 one, then you need to copy/paste the required ringtone in the Windows folder of the phone, otherwise it will not show up in the list.
or do a search for a program called electric ringo, that allows you to set mp3 for sms tones as well
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.
i downloaded and edited a sound clip which is an mp3 but cant seem to set as it as a notication, only alarm, contact or default ringtone show up...anyway to do this?
Go to your music and press and hold the song you want as your ringtone. The menu that comes up will give you the option of using the song as a ringtone. That will make the song the ringtone for your phone for the moment and also put it in the list of ringtones that are available to you in the future.

try this... put the custom ringtones or sounds on the sd card in the notifications folder in the media folder.
The op clearly asked for notification ringtones lol.
Never done it. But id assume moving it tion media+audio+notifications folder would do the trick
Sent from my oh-so-sexy Samsung
just read up on that, thanks homie!
To use custom ringtones for your phone ringtone, your alarm or your text message notification, simply copy an MP3 file to one of the following folders:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
If they don't already exist, then create a new folder.
The file will then show up when you want to change your ringtones.
For Ringtones go to Settings - Sound - Phone ringtone
For Text Messages go to - Settings - Sound - Notification ringtone
For Alarm, set the sound when you add a new alarm
You don't want a song for texting. Goddddd that is so annoying

i got a clip that says "kissssssss my asss"..its my dad yelling at my brother lol
Alarms are easy because I have an option in the Clock app to add new alarms to the OS and the custom notifications/ringtones (ogg format) that were copied from my old phone using the Data Transfer Tool show up and work properly. However, no other custom notifications/ringtones (ogg as well) I've added to the system (same directories as the working ones) show up even after multiple reboots. I'm also unable to manually add them since there isn't an "Add new" option for those categories of audio.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

i've had no problem adding custom notifications sounds to my Pixel 2 XL - with one exception - Google Voice. Ringtone, Default Sound, Gmail, Text, Deliveries (Third Party App) all work fine. as with prior Android phones, i simply created a "Media" folder and then within that folder i have the folders "Notifications", "Ringtones", and "Wallpapers" with custom sound files. my notifications are WAV files and my ringtone is a MIDI file. once i place that "Media" folder on my phone's storage and reboot the phone, all sounds are available and "stick" after being selected. again, the only exception is my custom Google Voice Voicemail sound which i can select but it refuses to "stick" and insists on playing my Default Notification Sound and also annoyingly plays it TWICE (double notification). i think this is more of a Google Voice App bug than the phone.

Interesting, the data transfer tool copied the items straight to Noti/Ring/Alarms at the phone root rather than a media directory. I'll try that now.
Thanks Gekko2, looks like it was a combination of the files being 'ogx' (upon further inspection but worked when renamed to ogg only) and not in the Media directories.

glad it helped! now could you PLEASE do me a favor and test and see if a custom sound (WAV File) works as a Google Voice Lite Voicemail Notification on your Pixel 2 XL? Thanks!
I have not had any issues (when adding them manually). However, I do miss the option to add them directly from the sound selection pane like on the original pixels with 8.0.
i solved my problem about using a custom notification on Google Voice. the fix is -
Long Press the Google Voice Icon--->App Info--->App Notifications--->Voicemail--->Sound--->Pick Your Sound
i never knew there was this setting beneath the App Icons let alone that it overrides and "sticks" better than the actual settings within the specific App!
so this still doesn't fix the double notification (i experimented by turning the other settings to "Silent" but that did not work) but maybe the answer still lies in these settings. anyway, i'm just glad i can set a custom Voicemail sound and not be stuck with the "Default". i hope this helps someone else!
I've tried adding mp3 and wav files to Ringtones or Media/Ringtones, and neither have worked even after a reboot.
I'm having a glitch with clock ambient and screen tapping.
Ambient clock will not stay on and tapping in not getting active. Both are on in the settings.
