I have the 855. The notificationoption sounds for either mail and messaging are restricted to predefined lists.
I would like to use some other sounds.
How can I do it without having toadd/ update the sound files under the ROOT directory?
Thanks
Simply create a directory on the internal memory card called 'Notifications' and include the sounds within it.
You can also create directories for 'Alarms' and 'Ringtones'

Within the phone you can change the sound it makes when you receive a new SMS, but the list only shows their default sounds. If i wanted a custom sound, what folder would i put it in?
put them in your windows folder
you can put them in the root directory of your storage card
dude,put mp3 in this folder:
\storage card\My documents
if not shown in your sound configuration,probably you need to convert mp3 to wav

If you go under Application Data/Sounds the system will find your add on custom sounds. Thats where I place all mine and I don't have to spend 30 MIN looking for them if I want to delete one. If you were to put them in the windows folder.
Can I use MP3s for alarms and SMS tones.
I thought these kind of features where standard on modern smart phones?
Or is there an app for that
i think theres a special app for that i have seen it somewhere on the cyrket website

Have you tried setting it as a ringtone within the music app? Then from there you might be able to choose it in the alarms and notifications?
make a folder on your SD card (the root of it) called "Notifications" and "Ringtones" then copy your ringtones into one and notifications (SMS and Alarms) into the other. Then they appear in the menus. I had to google about to find this myself!
Alternatively you can set it through the music application!
You need to create specific folders on the SD. I have alarms on the SD root for my alarm tone and notifications for my message tone!

/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Media/Notifications
/sdcard/Media/Ringtones
/sdcard/Media/Alarms
That is how I have it setup so I only have one folder in the sdcard root for all of my alarms, notifications and ringtones.
Mine are set as...
/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Notifications
/sdcard/Ringtones
/sdcard/Alarms
Thx, I will give it a go
Why can't they make things simple these days
SOrry to jump in, but cant someone just run over what i may be doing wrong.
On my SD Card i have the following folder setup :
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
and within the notifications folder i have put an MP3.
BUT it doesnt show up in SETTINGS > SOUND & DISPLAY > NOTIFICATION SOUND
Nor does it show up in ChompSMS or SMSPopup.
I have alos tried to create the folders in the root, with no luck.
I know im beign blind, what am i missing.
Nice one, was wondering how to do this.
hot-fuzz I have the exact same set-up as you, works perfectly for me.
Have you tried with a different audio file?
Just download 'Ringdroid' from the marketplace and you can edit your mp3's in the fly and gives you the option to save as tone/notification etc..
OK, sorted it.
The file will only show up if i put ".mp3" at the end of the file, otherwise it doesnt show up.
Thanks for the headsup on Ringdroid, might give that a bash.
I had some problems but at last it is working with the format
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
I noticed there was a similar layout in the phone's ROM
system/
system/media
system/media/audio
system/media/notifications
system/media/alarms
system/media/ringtones
system/media/ui
There was some Facebook mp4 file in that ringtones folder.
Does anybody know if you can allocate your own tone (from sd card etc) to alert you of a new SMS etc....Thanks
There are applications on the AndroidMarket that allow you to do this.
The one I use (alongside ChompSMS) is called "Tone Picker", which lets you use Mp3s as ringtones.
Enjoy!
To do it without any extra programs, create the following folders on the SD card:
/media/audio/ringtones
/media/audio/notifications
/media/audio/alarms
The phone will look in these folders when you pick a new one.
Cheers Rusty !!! Spot On....Thanx

You don't need the media/audio path, so just
/ringtones
/notifications
/alarms
will do

you can chop mp3 to ring tones on the desire with the inbuilt app, from the music player hit the menu button, select set as ring tone, you then get a menu pop up and select trim ring tone, once you have it trimmed you can copy it to the notification as above.
Can anyone tell me how i can put my personal ringtone in the phones memory so it appears in their ringtone list?
Also the same with text message notifications?
I'm having a problem where if I select my own mp3 ringtone, it will play the last mp3 i've been listening to as my ringtone as opposed to the actual ringtone i want.
Thanks
I have mine stored in /sdcard/Media/audio/ringtones
ringtones go in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ ive not tried adding my own but i suppose you could either add them to the rom .zip before flashing or push them to that location using adb
Look for "Android System Information" in the Market.
Install and open it, then look under the system tab, and expand/open the environment section.
You will get to see a list of the folder variables where the system looks for media.
In case a Cooker has changed something specific, these should show the right location.
Hi All,
This is a really simple one.
Can I paste a ring tone or an alert (mp3) into the phone or SD card memory and then select it?
I tried but the phone doesn't find the file - where do I need to put it?
Cheers.
Create a folder called ringtones and it should then pick it up
What about alert?
people say to create a folder called media on your sd card with sub folders called ringtones, alarms, etc so you can do that
