Well,this is very easy and i will explain it to you in simple steps:
Requisites:
-Had a sound/notification sound/music file etc.
-Root Explorer ( obviusly had to be root)
Okay,lets start:
Step 1: Download the sound and put in your SDCARD.
Step 2: Go to your mobile and open root explorer,navigate to where did you left the sound.
Step 3:Move it to SYSTEM/MEDIA/NOTIFICATIONS.
Step 4:Set rw-r--r-- permissions
Step 5:Reboot device
Step 6: It will shows as a stock sound.
Extra:
If you dont know what are the permission to tick in,see attached imaged below.
To prove it works,ill let you the S3/S2 Whistle Sound link below.
THANKS BUTTOM IF U LIKED MY WORK ENJOY.
REGARDS.-

You can also have them on sdcard
1.create on your sd card root folder "media"
2. inside media create folder "audio"
3. and inside audio create "alarms", "notifications", "ringtones"
now you can put your music files into folder to have them
as notify sound, alarm or ringtone
OP, also add that the music/sound files have to be in a .ogg format.
well my sound files are in mp3 format and i dont have problem with them

Here's a fun Mod for those of us who've adopted the E.T. nickname for our Epic 4G Touch!
Must Have Root to Modify!
1. Download the Wav File, copy to Device (if you DL'd to PC)
2. Using Root Explorer, navigate to System Folder, select
3. Select ETC folder (Mount as R/W)
4. Find current PowerOn.wav file and rename (in case you want the original back)
5. Move (or copy to) the new PowerOn.wav file to this location
6. Change Permissions to match (rw-r--r--)
7. Reboot and Enjoy!
►► E.T. Theme Boot Sound ◄◄
As an alternate...you can make your own by simply using any .wav file and re-naming it to PowerOn.wav! You may want to edit your .wav file however, as only a small portion of it will play during boot.
Ha!
*tries to remember what the ET theme sounded like...*
Oh yeah! How could I forget?
i put this on my phone awesome
.wave or ogg?

This is pretty...EPIC. Sick, get my ET4G tomorrow. First mod
Does anybody have the stock wave sound? I flashed a ROM & change the boot sound & I would like to change it back
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it...
Probably semi-obvious, but you can also rename (or just delete) the sound file to have your phone boot silently.
Nice for when you have to constantly restart to alleviate the LOS error and forget to mute it beforehand, or if you just happen to not like your stuff making noise.
Sound Very Low
I changed everything over and the sound comes on, but it is very quite and short. Is this normal?
How long can it be? Seeing as this phone boots in 5 seconds
DARK SIDE!!!!
here is my contribution to the thread, they are .wav files from star wars "You don't know the power of the darkside" and "what is thy bidding...my master" ----of course from Darthvader. perfect size and length, they sound great as boot up sounds!!
don't forget to press thanks..........i don't have any lol
does it have to be a .wav file or can you throw an MPEG 4 file on there too?
Never mind. figured it out... and yes you can put any song as long as you change the permissions too.
Not sure if anyone know's how but I figured out how to basically put any 8-9 second long recording or sound file to your boot animation. you can use ringdroid to edit any sound file to to 8-9 seconds and use the ringtone maker app to send it to your e mail. then put it to your desktop and so on... you get the point.
Hi guys,
I found a way to change the boot up sound that's played during the boot animation when you start your phone.
You can change it to anything you want
I did this on Stock Samsung LP7 ICS 4.0.3
This works for Samsung ROMs. For other CUSTOM ROMs it may not work because they don't support the boot sound, or the sound must be placed in system/media and not in system/etc for example.
Here's how it's done:
1. Device must be rooted
2. Open a file explorer, I use Root Explorer.
Navigate to 'System' folder on root of internal SD card, then go to 'etc' folder and find a file called: PowerOn.ogg
i.e /System/etc/PowerOn.ogg
3.Rename the file to: 'PowerOn.ogg.Backup' (just so you have a back up of your original) (to restore simply delete the custom sound you made and then rename this back to PowerOn.ogg)
4.Find an appropriate .MP3 file you want as a start up sound and rename to PowerOn.ogg (notice the capitals at the start of Power and On)
(You may need to use a convertor to convert .MP3 to .ogg but I didn't, I simply renamed the .MP3 file
5.Once you have your new PowerOn.ogg file simply paste it into System/etc folder
6. Turn up volume, reboot phone and test it out!
Let me know how you got on
I used the PlayStation 2 start up sound for my phone and it sounds awesome!
Here's a link to Playstation 2 sound (already re-named and ready to go): https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxycdj1rjokufim/PowerOn.ogg
Have fun!
P.S If anyone else has any other cool sounds please share
Sweet! Will try it out soon
I did this on Stock Samsung LP7 ICS 4.0.3 but dont see why it wouldn't work on others

Wrong section. Your post is supposed to be in "Q & A" section.
You just need to create a folder "Ringtones" in the internal SD card. Then copy your ringtones to this folder.

You could also put in the system folder if you have root access. I currently have the Skyrocket so this solution might not work for you. I put my .ogg file in /system/media/audio/ and then into the proper sub directory either /alarms /notifications or /ringtones. Then rebooted my system and I could assign them properly. Actually the first suggestion worked for me as well, but I just like having all my files in the same place. So it might work or it might not... i can't say for sure. I subscribe to the nexus development because g/f's mom who has the nexus and likes slim rom a lot.

Yeah I think that the .ogg will work for sure. I just used root explorer the app to find out what my other ringtones were and then converted the ringtone to that file.
You have to put your ringtones in a folder called "Ringtones". Not just in the internal SD card.

I have a few mp3's and ringtones I got from zedge as well and I couldn't see them at first - you just need to let the mediascanner find them. A reboot will force the phone's mediascanner to do so, or it'll find them on its own in a little bit.

Ringtone/mp3 files will not be available as ringtones unless they are in the ringtones folder. Rebooting the phone won't change that, at least not with the stock ROM.

One reason to NOT put custom ring tones in the /system/media/audio/ringtones folder is that if you wipe your system (to change ROM's, for example), is that the system wipe would then also wipe your custom ringtones. However, if you place them in the Ringtones folder on your sdcard, that doesn't get wiped, and you'll be able to use the ringtones right away after flashing a new ROM, and you won't have to re-copy them onto your phone.

The post before mine had already ascertained which folder to put them in, I was just adding that to force a mediascan of that folder a reboot would do the trick. Sorry for any confusion
install es file explorer on to your phone.
When you want to select a new ringtone, the phone will ask you to either select a "system tone" or "select a file" (using the file explorer)
then you just navigate to the sound file no matter what folder you stored it in (on your sd)
im on CNA 3.8 and I was wondering how to set a mp3 as a ringtone
Put the mp3 file in the sdcard/ringtones folder, reboot and you should be able to select it as a ringtone.

The built in memory is considered the SD card by default.
Use any file explorer app to create a ringtone folder if you don't see one in the root directory.
Eg.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if there was a way to change the S-pen pull out noise to a custom tone? I have the Tmo version and there is only 3 that I can choose from. Thanks in advance.
You should be able to replace the stock sounds with new files of the same names. Unsure of their exact location as I've not looked into it, but it'd stand to reason that they'd be in /system/media/ui somewhere.
Did occur to me that it'd be fun to replace them with, say, lightsaber noises. Or Steve Jobs saying "Who wants a stylus?"

I see the file under the UI folder but it seems I need to assume root, it only has read permissions. I will give it a go when theres a root for tmobile. Thanks for the reply and leading me in the right direction though. Btw you read my mind, I wanted to replace it with a lightsaber lol

Found some lightsaber power-up & power-down sounds if anyone is after them, sourced them from: http://soundfxcenter.com/sound-effects/star-wars/20 and converted to .ogg and reduced the volume so they aren't too loud.
- Go to: /system/media/audio/ui in Root Explorer (or similar app)
- [Optional] Rename Pen_att_noti1.ogg & Pen_det_noti1.ogg to Pen_att_noti1.bak & Pen_det_noti1.bak
- Extract S-Pen_Lightsaber_Sounds.zip [attached below] and copy both files to /system/media/audio/ui
- Go to System Settings -> S Pen -> Pen/attach/detach and set to Sound1
- Enjoy!
I have attached the original Pen_att_noti1.ogg & Pen_det_noti1.ogg in case you overwrote/deleted the originals instead of renaming.
This is awesome. Worked for me. Now Is there anything we can do tobincrease the volume of the spen lightsaber noise. Its very understated which is ok but I'd like it to be a little more noticeable.
I've looked into UI sound folder. there're many ui sounds and customisable.
including yours are great. many thanks. :good:
may the force be with you then

Couple of questions for you...
1. Are you rooted?
2. Are you using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer?
If your using ES, you need to be sure it has root access and has the "system" folder "mounted" for writing (both in settings of ES). Also, it's not the files you downloaded that you rename, it's the original files in the /system/media/audio/ui folder you rename to .bak, then copy and paste the new ones in.

Hi
Thank you for your reply. I have my phone rooted. I tried ES. i can not highlight the Mount file system option in the root settings. Also when i click Root explorer, i get the msg that this feature can not run on my phone. I also tried the other app Explorer. When i try to change the name of the original file. i get the msg this is a read only file. So how do i proceed.thank you
