I was wondering if somebody could create a guide to create ringtones that won't cause my phone to FC. It does not FC with some of the system Ringtones but it does FC on some of the larger files.

You can put any mp3 file on your phone's sd card and click on it and choose use as ringtone. Or download any one of a number of apps to make ringtones like Ringdroid.
Do you BONSAI?

Yes I do? I am running Bonsai 4.1.0.B9. But anyways what ringtone maker are you using when I try to create a ringtone I get FC. I am using Ringdroid.
The soluation to my problem convert your mp3 file to ogg files.
What I did is I converted mp3 into ogg files. They are the sound files that are native to android. Ogg file work a lot better than mp3 files. I download a free program from cnet called FreeMp3WmaOggConverter to covert my mp3 to ogg files. Now my phone does not FC anymore now I have to find a program to edit my ogg files.
I've used sharetones on the market. U can make your own ringtones

There was a problem with Bonsai 4.1.0b9 that has not been corrected yet and 6 phones have fully bricked requiring the return at a Sprint store. Please flash back to 4.0.1 as soon as possible. After flashing 4.0.1 rerun one click root CWM 3.0.0.6.
Push the my files apk to your phone.

True, True! I remember a cartoon where a mouse would always hit a cat with a brick and she would love it!
I tried ringdroid and in general mp3s don't work with my phone.

Mp3 for some reason don't play well with my cell phone. Either my phone sometimes locks up or it just does not play at all. I am using the midnight rom 5.2 and mp3 are very inconstistant with my Samsung Epic. Ogg files on the other hand work 100% of the time it does not matter weather they are long or short they flat out just work.
It is fun funny that am the only person who is having issues with mp3 files as ring tones.

Actually, I've been having issues lately. On the ringtone selection screen, the phone would seem to lock up and then FC on me when I would hit "OK"
I'm going to try to convert my mp3 ringtones and notification tones to .ogg and see if that helps. I'm using SUPER http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
Just finished converting to .ogg and tested it out.
So far so good!
@jamice4u, thanks for the suggestion!
I have had this issue before. I was running SRF 1.1.0 at the time. To fix it, I backed up my entire SD card, formatted it from my PC, then very selectively put files back on the SD card.
Resolved my FC'ing that happened when I selected a ringtone, set an mp3 file as an alarm, playing with RingDroid and anything to do with mp3's other than using the stock music player.
Fixed my FC'ing

Yeah, I thought it might've been something corrupt on the SD card. I pulled it, backed it up, then formatted it and re-copied everything to it, just as I had it laid out before. Still had the same issue. Converting the files over to .ogg seems to have done the trick.
Anyone else who uses the stock TW calendar have this problem?
The notification sound keeps changing back to "On Time". I keep setting it to a custom sound, the sound plays. I back all the way out of calendar. When I go back it's changed back to "On Time".
Anyone else.....any suggestions?.
I am using it with a calendar synced through exchange. I'm on LG8
Thanks
Having the same issue. I did some searching and seems a few others are also having the issue.

As far as I can tell the problem on occurs with custom sounds. I can set any sound that came with the phone and it holds.

Not here. It doesn't stick with any of the choices I make. It always reverts back to "On Time."

OK, you're right. I may have to install a second calendar program just for the alerts unless I can figure out a workaround.

Wish I could figure it out, but I'm no dev. Something has to he keeping the change from sticking. I had a similar issue with my E4GT on GB. If you changed the default calendar to something other than My Calendar, changing the ringer wouldn't stick.

I had a similar bug in the stock calendar on my Epic 4G. I can't believe it still isn't fixed.
So here's my work around. Copied the original "On_time.ogg file from /system/media/audio/notifications to my pc using ES file explorer. looked at all the tags...It has Samsung in the Artist, album, and comment fields, and the name "On Time" in the title field. So, I renamed it On_Time_Backup.ogg, then I converted the sound I wanted to use to ogg, renamed it On_time.ogg, placed Samsung in the comment, album, and artist fields, and On Time on the title field. Then I copied it (and the backup) back into the /system/media//notifications.
Guess what....I still can't change the notification sound in the calendar, but at least now it's the sound I want.

That's a good idea I hadn't thought of. I will try that and hope Samsung fixes it in a future update.

Poit,
I am trying to do your "work around". I downloaded the "ES file explorer" but I am unable to find the On_time.ogg file. Could you point me in the right direction?
I have a (Un-rooted) SGS III model- SCH-I535 android vresion 4.0.4 with Vreizon

Thanks for the quick response, however, when I open ES file sxplorer, i do not see a "system" or "media" folder. I do see a "notifacations" folder, but that only has a few sound files that I copied there. In the settings I did select "show hidden files".
I have opened every folder in there and I have not found the one which has the ring tones/ alarms like I am looking for.

The file path is "sdcard/notifications" if that helps.
Thanks
By the way, I have this problem as well on my Galaxy Note 2 running 4.1.2 .... So frustrating. It always just ends up back on "On Time" ... the notification I pick actually works for a little while .. like maybe a day before switching back.
I have Google Calendar installed as well (seems the Sync for Google Calendar doesn't work otherwise) so I will just switch to that as the notification source ... but can't believe this issue is across multiple phones and still isn't fixed.
My stock calendar keeps reenabling its notifications. I've grabbed Google Calendar from the market and frozen the stock calendar.
Yep I have noticed this too. I will be doing the same thing.

I don't normally post stuff here, but when I do, it's something I find very important or useful & worthy of passing along. I recently upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999) only to discover that it seems to not have default means of setting my custom MP3 files as certain ringtones-- specifically, notification sounds. All I could find in the "set as" tool was options for "alarm" and (phone) "ringtone". I did however find a laborious workaround that requires moving every damned MP3 file into the "notification" folder in the phone system, then going back to use the "set as" tool to create a clock alarm, THEN going back to the system sounds menu to open the notification sounds & (finally) find the custom MP3 file I originally moved to the (you guessed it) notifications folder. Talk about laborious & time wasting! I found this free little app, MP3 Ringtone Maker, that does all that automatically-- in other words, it does indeed have the direct option of selectiing any MP3 file within its explorer to directly "set as" the file to the system notification sound for the texting/messaging sound effect, without having to go through the previously mentioned workaround. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to take the time to create custom sounds (as I do on my PC, using Audacity) then easily set them quickly as your phone's default sound effects. Here it is: http://bit.ly/MnLqLQ:):)
I use the myxer app. It allows you to trim any mp3 file to get a specific part of a song and when you're done, it allows you to either save it as a ringtone or a notification. It will save the file in the respective folder as well. Been using it since my evo 4g days and it hasn't failed me yet :thumbup:

I totally forgot about ring droid! I used that religiously back in the days lol. But I switched to myxer because I could use it to not only make my own ringtones, but I could download ringtones that were already made as well.

in hindsight (the best kind)
In hindsight, I probably should have titled my thread "A good ringtone Set-As'er"-- I realize there are great little custom ringtone makers out there-- I just happen to diddle a lot on my PC for audio stuff (since that's where the bulk of my MP3 collection is anyway) & use an audio editor (Audacity) to create custom stuff to send to my phone (instead of draining the battery on my phone to accomplish the same). I just happened to find the "MP3 Ringtone Maker" I mentioned above to seem to be the easiest app to browse my phone's storage for my selected MP3 stuff I transferred to it, and quickly "set as" them into (for example) the notification sound that the default Android "set as" tool doesn't seem to include.
where i can download this app ?

I enjoy Android 4.2 tones better than TouchWiz tones. I converted the audio for alarms, ringtones, and notifications into mp3 format in case anyone doesn't have root or has difficulty listening to them. They are originally (.ogg) format. Once you download, put them in a folder labeled "audio" on your SDcard (Internal or External) whichever you prefer. Afterwards, they should appear whenever you're trying to make an alarm, ringtone, or notification sound selection. Reboot if they don't appear.
The files are on this link:

Hey scampos, can you upload these files to a host that doesn't require a premium account to download them? I'd love to get these audio files on my S3 but don't want to pay to download (unless I'm completely missing something....)

Forgive me if i dont understand right but you say the stock ringtones and notifications are there in system/media? If not what is there? Do you have a noise happening when notification or call comes in? If so just change them by either using music player and selcting use as ringtone, etc or just add your own files with sounds or music to the same place in system/media where the stock ones are. Make sure they are the right file type. Then you might see the option under settings tab. If not then save stock sounds to a folder on your sd card and the ones left that you just put there should now be your new sounds. Let me know if this worked please. Good luck
1st yes. 2nd not before I set a ringtone from music. 3rd that us the solution I was using. 4th will try that. 5th they are .ogg so nothing e.g music picks them up. in previous versions settings had all of them

How many ogg files are showing under system/media/? Just one? If so adding another may give you an option in settings. If not try nova launcher and go to settings again and options may show. If not look for app that converts files to other kinds of files and the oggs might be able to be turned to another format that makes it show up in music player. If not try flashing newer nightly update and see if it fixes itself in the next build. Let me know
