In settings sounds I can't set neither ringtones nor notifications
And i checked in /system/media/ and their all there. my only options are external apps.
Does anyone have a fix to get settings to find the stock ringtones, notifications and alarms

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

Hey guys,
Before rooting, I could get all my audio files to show up whenever I wanted to use on for a contact's ringtone, or a notification or anything. Now, I can't see them. Am I supposed to put them somewhere so the phone will detect them?
Also, I'm wondering why the ROMS for 2.2 Froyo on the mt3gs have ADW launcher on them. Is that because we don't have an official T-Mobile or HTC Sense launcher yet? Or am I totally off with what I'm saying?

You can still select your songs as your ringtone. You just need to go to you music app and select it as such through there. I personally use ringdroid and that makes my song clip a ringtone to be bundled with the ringtones available.
and yes, there isnt a sense launcher 2.2 yet so therefore it can not be included in a mts rom. There are other home launchers you can use however.

I just tried to go to individual songs and it only allows me to set them as the the phone's ringtone but not as contact specific ringtones.
I'm on the cyanogen ROM, if it matters.

Go to said Contact, Press menu, options, ringtone.
It doesn't show MY tracks that I put on the SD card. It only gives me the default track as an option.
Could this be a bug in the ROM?? I gotta be able to use my tracks for different people. Where should I put the tracks?
Oh, ok. You want each contact to have a diff ringtone. Download ringdroid from market and make your ringtones there. The newly made ringtones will appear with the default.

Ok, cool, I'll try that. I just found it so weird that it was so simple on 2.1 but now with the 2.2 ROM it doesn't seem to work. I'll try ringdroid. I was thinking it might work if I copied the ringers I have into the folder on the phone that holds all the stock ringers. Thought maybe that might work. I like to try to run things with as few apps as possible to help the battery.
Thanks!

That'd definitely work. Push them to system/media/audio/ringtones
Hmm, weird...
Astro won't let me paste or move to the phone. Any ideas?
Use adb to put the files there. None of the root explorer apps ever worked for me.
Any idea where I can get commands to do that kind of copying? I have no idea how to use adb other than the instructions in rooting.
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.

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.

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.
ok so today i was playing with my phone and you know im a type a person who like to put lots of ringtones from other phones into mine so all this time i been pushing all the audio files from different roms into my phone(adb push .../system/media/audio/ringtones ).. DONT NEEED TO DO THIS NOMORE SINCE OUR PHONE HAS AN EASY WAY TO PUT WHATEVER AUDIO FILES NOW INTO THE INTERNAL SDCARD..
SO IF YOU WANT RINTONES ON YOUR PHONE DO THE FOLLOWING!!!
1.CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO PC (ROOT IS NOT NEEDED!!! NOR CUSTOM ROM OR KERNEL)
2. GO TO YOUR INTERNAL SD AND YOU ARE GOING TO SEE 2 FOLDERS INSIDE 1 FOLDER NAMED "RINGTONES AND THE OTHER ONE NOTIFICATIONS", ) JUST DROP WHATEVER FILES YOU WANT IN THOSE FOLDERS ANY AUDIO FILES WILL SHOW ON YOUR RINGTONES AND NOTIFICATIONS NOW!! WOW HOW NICE IS THAT..
I've been able to do this since owning a G1. Files can also go in a folder called 'media' (which still works up to this day on the S3) with subfolders titled 'ringtones' 'notifications' 'alarms' and 'ui'.

Even if you not rooted you can download cm9 and extract ring tones from media folder, but you can also find most if not all of them from zedge, btw maybe the op cane from the iPhone which is a pain to get ring tones, bonus tip stock player will let you choose any song as ringtones, if you want to trim it to an specific part get ringtone maker from the play store

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

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.

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 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:
