Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to (if possible) I can change the text message tone on the MDA Vario. I cannot stand it at the moment. Am I stuck with it for life?
go to start - settings - sounds and notifications - notifications and then choose the tone you want to change from the drop down bar... that should do the trick... *p.s. if you put mp3files on your storagecard, but not in a folder, just in the main folder, they'll appear in the list as well..

I think text message tone only use wav files. Ringtone can use mp3 files.
sorry my fault...
adding wav files for messages etc, they need to go in windows dir/folder.
mp3's for ringtones etc can go on the storage card root or storage card My Documents folder...
you can chang your text massage tone
you can chang your text massage tone

When I flashed Ruby 1.1.4 the default ringtone was called something like 'de mari...something something' it was a 8-bit song
I had assumed it's a ringtone from the default AOSP ringtone set however when I flashed Cyanogen 6.1 it wasn't there. I was wondering if anyone could help me pull the ringtone from the ROM so I can use it where ever I want.
Or could you pull the ringtone and share as a .zip or as a .mp3?
all system sounds (ringtones, notifications, alarms etc.) are in /system/media/audio in their respective folders. just download the rom and open up the zip to find them.

Here is a link to ring tones from cm6.
This may not contain the ring tone file you were looking for.
How do you install ringtones/notifications on this thing?
I have 2 ringtones that I have been using on Android devices since 1.2.
Both are just short MP3 clips.
I have tried the following locations:
/sdcard/Notifications
/sdcard/Ringtones (<--- This is where the Hangouts tones are.)
/sdcard/media/notifications
They do not appear in Sound --> Default notification sound.
Do they have to be .ogg now?
You just need to give mediaserver time to discover and index them. They'll show up by tomorrow.

I copied my favorite ringtones to /sdcard /Ringtones without any problems. They were mp3s.
Wow, this is maddening! I've read a lot of threads about ringtones and sounds but none seem to acknowledge what is happening on my VS986 11a phone. I have put custom notification and ringtone files in the appropriate system folders. In fact, I put the same files in both ringtones and notifications folders. The files appear there and will show up when I try to change the notification sound for a specific app. I can select and hear them as ringtones but not as notification sounds. When you select one of the custom sounds for an app, it plays the system default sound, Crystal.
I initially put them in as mp3 files. I noticed that all system sounds are ogg files, so I changed them to ogg. Still no joy. When I play the files from the system folder with SE Music Player, the files play just fine. They simply won't play as app notification sounds. What gives?
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.
