Does anyone know how to remove user ringtones after you added them through setting > sound > ringtone > add? I added some files and dont know how to get rid of them.
While we're on the topic, does anyone know the location of the system ringtones?
/system/media/audio/ringtones
/system/media/audio/notifications
Some other places some ringtone apps like to put ringtones at:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/music
/sdcard/Notifications
--
Ringtones within your system folder need you to be rooted to manually get rid of them.

Thanks, still cant figure out how to remove your own ringtones you've added through the settings though..
As stated above you will need to be rooted. Download Root Explorer and it will allow you to delete those ringtones....I've removed a bunch from mine including the annoying low battery noise.

i am rooted. i'm not talking about removing the stock ring tones. if you go to settings > sounds > device ringtone > add. then add your on song/mp3/whatever, you cant seem to remove it..
When I was trying out an app to create ringtones I notice that it would also allow me to delete ringtones so they don't show up in the device's list. The apps is "Ringtone Picker & Editor Pro". See if the works for you. Always good to backup those ringtone files, so that you will have them for later usage.
You can rename the files' extensions so they will not be recognized by the device as ringtones.

guys, i have few MP3 & few OGG files which i was using them as ringtones on my previous phone.
in SGS2, i dont know how i can set custom ringtones.... i saw some OGG files in system/media/audio/ringtone folder through root explorer.
i tried copying OGG files into that folder, it allowed me. but when i went to settings/sounds/ringtone.... there it doesnt show up the newly added file...
what should i do ? is it possible to use custom ringtone on SGS2 ? if yes, how & in what format the SGS2 recognises music files....
pls let me know.... i am waiting
Hmmm think the fastest way on a clean phone would be to just play the song in the media player and then "menu > set as > phone ringtone"
Think you can also set then using kies.
Mind you I've only used mp3's so not sure if this also goes for OGG files.
hope it's somewhat usefull
Copy Ringtones to folder System/Media/ringtones . I use super manager .
Format .ogg .
Exit reboot phone .
Go to setting sounds phone ringtone scroll down and then back up for ringtone select new ringtone .

You can actually put them in any partition, even on the memory card, you don't have to root so long as you put them in the correct folder:
Ringtones
/media/audio/ringtones/
Alarms
/media/audio/alarms/
Notifications
/media/audio/notifications/
I believe that any audio format that the phone can support may be used
thanks guys, i played the file & in the options i set it as ringtone. that played the trick. after choosing that mp3/ogg file as default ringtone, it showed up in sound/phone ringtone setting.... till then it was not so...
thanks for you help...
it would have been better to search for list of music files from default ringtone settings....i wish.... its okay....

You don't even need the media/audio/ folders.
My sd card just has the last folder name, and any files in there show up in the relevant selection menus.

So I added about a hundred various ringtones and sounds to these folders:
/system/media/audio/ringtones
/system/media/audio/notifications
But when I go to my menu/sounds to select a new ringtone or notification sound, all the files I added are sitting there in duplicates or triplicates.
Or they show up with weird Chinese characters.
But when I use Root Explorer, they all show up as single files with correct filenames.
Is it possible each file may have an name that shows up one way here, then shows up another way somewhere else?
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Not sure if this helps, but you don't have to add them to root. You can just put them on your internal/external sdcard in folders with the same names.

YES! That was totally it.
I had no idea the system was smart enough to pull the sounds from other folders on my phone. I had the same sounds in a few folders since I had extracted them from a zip.
I deleted all the other folders and now only the ones in the /root/media are showing up!
Thanks!
Hi,
How to add a custom ringtone/ sound (mp3/ ogg format) to "Default notification ringtone" & "New mail" ringtones section under "Settings -> Sound & notification" of the Zenfone 2.

Go to "file manager " -> media (folder) -> audio (folder) -> ringtone(folder). Inside this folder paste your mp3 files you want as ringtones. Come out off the app and then go to settings, sounds & notifications, select ringtone, there you should see your mp3 file added along with the built-in list. If not there, better do a restart you device. Delete the files if you do not want in the list. I don't know the maximum no. Of files that could be added.
Its simple just put the required ringtones in the "ringtones" folder of the internal storage and notification sounds in "notifications" folder of the internal storage and by internal storage i mean phone storage not external sd card
Can't paste mp3 files.

I'm a newbie. I created mp3 ringtones and transferred them to the phone. I cut files and could not paste them in ringtones folder. What do I need to do? Do I need to root the phone? Please be detailed in your description since I am still learning how to do this.
Dear Clifbandit,
Connect your tab to any windows xp / 7 /8 pc or laptop. If any pop up comes in your tab, like MTP etc, select MTPwhich says Media Transfer Protocol. In your computer, open my computer, there you should see your tab as a new drive or folder or as a media player icon. Open it, create folder inside the "Internal Memory ' as in previous post, paste. Then disconnect simply, rest is as above any posts.
And finally, I like very much your name.

It worked!
For some reason I was having problems earlier. I rebooted the phone and this time I was able to copy and paste just as you advised. Now my phone is rockin' out with Slash playing when it rings! Thanks so much for your help.

nope, that folder isnt even in my zenfone2
incase anyone was wondering why they cant also change there message tone using the same method
create notifications folder inside internal storage>media
then you can change your text and email tones the same way you can with your custom ringtones. [settings>sound and notifications] dont ask me why this folder wasnt included standard. its real half assed phone in many ways

Anybody know how to add a custom ringtone to the Razer Phone?
I can't seem to find the option anywhere.
Thanks!
I use ZEDGE from play store.
Or use a file explorer and in the main storage there is a "Ringtones" folder, put you ringtone in there. Go to settings, sounds, phone ringtone and select it from the list.
I really like the double bloop with faint echo sound Samsung has introduced as the charging start sound. Have anyone isolated it for use as a notification for anything else?
Thanks in advance

It's called ChargingStarted.ogg and it's located in System/media/audio/ui. You can use an app like ES File Explorer to copy it to another location. If you want the sound to show in your notification sounds make a folder on the internal SD card (normally 0) called Media. Inside the media folder make two more folders called Ringtone and Notifications. Put a copy of ChargingStarted.ogg in the Notifications folder and it will show with your normal notification sounds.
Thanks!

Does this require root? I cannot locate the System folder using ES File Explorer upgraded version. Also my device is the S9 SM-G960W if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

Does not require root and you need to navigate back to the very root of the device, not /sdcard, further back than that where it shows just /
Total Commander can do it too
I don't know ES file Explorer options, but with the Asus file manager, you have to go to settings and show hidden files and folders. Then you can back up to the root folder. Then you'll find "System".
Samsung's own file manager won't do that. Google's Files app can't either.

Navigating not an issue, well versed. For some reason ES Pro will not show anything off root. Maybe a setting wrong although I went over a few times. That being said pro tip re: TC - showed everything - file copied and functional in under a minute. Thanks so much, appreciate it!

I switched from ES to TC a few weeks ago, discovered TC uses SMB2 for LAN transfers, whereas ES must use SMB1 and is pathetically slow, with TC I can transfer GB videos via WiFi to a shared folder on the PC in no time
ES can definitely show root, maybe need to enable a setting like you say, I don't have it installed atm though, iirc I used the nav bar at the top to get there, think I just pressed on the / icon, or as far back as it would show, and then the next dir would show the / to press, something like that
