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.
Simple and legit way to add sms/mail tones:
Go to: internal storage>Android>media
>com.google.android.talk>Notifications
And paste your mp3 here.(no need to convert
media format)

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

Just transfer the desired files from your PC to your device via ActiveSync. Place the files in the 'My Documents' folder.
Go to Start -> Settings -> Sounds. Then just change your ringtone and SMS message sounds to your newly acquired sounds.
or you can make a folder on your storage card for you ringtones and name it My Ringtones.

Thats what I did and it works like a charm...
for some reason i've never been able to change my sms ringtone to one that i've put in the phone. is there anyway to fix that?
For SMS, ringtones have to be in the Sounds folder. Not in your My ringtones folder.

...which is why I stated to place all tones in the 'My Documents' folder.
...but like mikey said. unless you intend on placing your ringtones (or any tones for that matter) on your SD card. the "\application data\sounds" folder is the best place to put any tones.... whether it be for notifications, ringtones, or sms tones
How do you change "new txt message" sound?
How do you change "new txt message" sound?
Tried moving it to the my documents folder with the ringtones and windows system folder, but the file wasn't recognized. Tried mp3, wav and wma formats.
Like to change the new txt message sound to something else, but not sure how to get it recognized.
thanks.

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 .
Tested working 1100 21/05/11

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.

Hi.
I've copied a few small mp3 files to the folder 'ringtones' (which was present in the root folder out of the box). Unfortunately these songs do no appear in the list of ring tones when I choose to change it in the settings.
If I select "add" a list of songs on the phone is displayed, but only those who are stored in the music folder.
I'd rather not have the ring tones stored in the music folder, any suggestions on how to find them when choosing ring tones?
All the mp3-files have worked flawlessly on other android systems (all non ICS).
/r
PS: I've also put a m4a file in the notifications folder. This one shows up as expected under the list of available notification sounds.
Strange, MP3s work fine on my ICS-running Sensation - and I put them in the same folder on my SD card...perhaps they have to be m4a now??
Got it working now.
There was a .nomedia file in that folder avoiding it to get parsed by the music applicaiton on my Desire. I tried to remove it, but that was apparently not sufficient.
I had to connect to the PC, remove all files, disconnect the phone to force update of "sd card" contents, and then connect again to copy back the same files.
/r
Ballache!! But at least we know what to check now! Good find
Install something like Tone Picker.
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.
Hi folks,
I'm having my Zenfone 5Z update (ZS620KL) for 2 weeks now, and I just can't find a way to select any other ringtone/notification tone than the default ones....
When entering Sound settings and trying to select a non-standard one (via the "+" (plus) sign in the upper-right corner), I'm always getting the notification, saying "Can't add non-standard ringtone".
This happens regardless of the ringtone format (mp3, ogg, wma, wav)...
I have tried to copy my ringtones and notification sounds into the following paths:
INTERNAL STORAGE\storage\emulated\0\media\audio\ringtones
INTERNAL STORAGE\storage\emulated\0\media\audio\notifications
OR
INTERNAL STORAGE\storage\emulated\0\Ringtones
INTERNAL STORAGE\storage\emulated\0\Notifications
Nothing is working The files are being seen by the system sound picker, but when choosing particular file, it is just notifying as mentioned above.
Can you guys confirm, that you have the same issue? Does anyone know any solution for this? This is so annoying....
Today, a new FOTA was installed on my device (WW_90.11.37.95_20180727), but nothing changed - still the same issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
updated model - thanks drpmch. I have Zenfone 5z ZS620KL

Hi Wan932
Thanks for the answer.
When I'm choosing either: built in file manager OR TOTAL CMD manager OR ES file explorer OR any other file manager, it is constantly providing me the "Can't add non-standard ringtone" notification...
I thought, that maybe I need to place those somewhere....
If my phone would be rooted, I guess, it would fall into root\system\media\ringtones.... But mine is not rooted.
Any other suggestion please?
Use the built-in file manager
Hi I've been using this for a week now, so the first thing was to change the ringtone. I simply used the accompanied file manager to change it.
Step 1
Open the file manager and browse to your music file.
Step 2
Long press on the file, then press the three dot menu on the top right corner. A new fly out menu appear. Choose set system sound
Step 3
Replace the sound you want to change

Hey apad,
This worked..... but:
- it only replaces the default SIM1 ringtone AND default system sound
- still, can't change it for SIM2 or different sound for SMS, email, calendar event or apply custom ringtone for a specific contact (which I'm after the most)....
Any other ideas please?
