Custom Ringtones setting ???

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.

[MOD] Boot Sound - E.T. Theme (Root Users) or Make Your Own!!

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?

Edit: Included info to make your own.

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.

[TUT][GUIDE] How to remove or change boot sound

So I'll show you how the times can change or remove boot or sound.
Works for Gingerbread only
To do this you need:
- root
- root explorer or similar
How it works:
Remove boot sound:
you go to the root explorer
/ system / etc /
The first thing you find is the 1_Power_on.ogg
Deletes it easy
Then you scroll down further and you will find a PowerOn.wav
delete them as well now is your boot sound off
------------------------
------------------------
Change boot sound:
Do you want to change the boot sound, just your sound that you want to have
to convert. ogg and rename it to 1_Power_on.ogg
and do the same with the PowerOn.wav.
So your sound needs at once. Ogg and once in there. Wav
and then also be called as follows:
1_Power_on.ogg
PowerOn.wav
Placed or replaced both files in / system / etc
set permissions to rw-r-r
reboot
thats all
enjoy
There is one limitation, the sound should be no longer than 9 seconds, because there are only 9 seconds played.
Important:
Notice the uppercase and lowercase letters

[tutorial] [change boot sound on Stock ROM to anything you want]

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

This works for Sammy ROMs, for other CUSTOM ROMs maybe won't work because they don't support the boot sound!! Or the sound must be placed in system>media and not in system>etc for ex....:good::good:

[Q] Volume Adjust Sound

Does anyone know if there is a file you can remove to get rid of the volume adjust sound if the option is not included in a ROM to disable it?

i tried doing a google search and didn't come up with much. on some roms there is a file or two named volume?.ogg that you might be able to delete or rename in the system/media/ui folder, but some roms don't have those files, or any .ogg files related to volume adjust sounds in the media folder. no one knows where i could find them? the rom in question is Elemental 4.2.2, but i've seen other roms that did not have a way to get rid of it.

i dont recall the "volume adjusting".ogg file in system\media but if the related .ogg file isnt there and your rom doesnt have that option either; it would seem that theres no alternative... from my knowledge anyway.

i'm just wondering because there has to be a file somewhere that controls that sound. i mean, how do devs turn it off when they give you the option in the rom to disable it? unless you have to decompile the rom first instead of finding it with a file explorer, but somehow i think that isn't the case.
