Hello everyone,
I am wondering if you all have the same issue as I do.
I have my music in "Music" folder, and my ringtones set in "Ringtones" folder, but when I want to set a local ringtone, I can see ALL my music and ringtones shown together in one huge never ending list due to amount of music present on my phone.
Is there a way to display only ringtones set in "Ringtones" folder?
Thank you in advance.

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.
I know that you can place MP3s in the respective folders for notifications and ringtones. There are some sounds that I like to use for both ringtones and notifications, but don't want them to be copied into both folders. It seems like there would be a less space wasting method to do it?
So I have a few customer ring tones that I transfered over from my EVO 4G. They are in the Mp3 format and I am able to set the ring tone on an individual level, but I cant set it as a default ringtone.
So how does one set a customer ringtone that is an MP3 as the default ringtone?
Notifications as while?
Much Obliged for all of your help in advance.
Go to settings, then sound. You'll be able to set phone ringtone as well as notification ringtone.
I should have said that I have already tried that. There is no option that lets me pick the sounds that are on my SD card.
For example when I go into my contacts list and go to ringtone, there is three options, Default Ringtone, Select sounds from My Files and Phone Ringtone.
Now when I go to Sounds it just gives me a bunch of generic sound files. Nothing from my selection.
you just move the sound file to the /media folder using any file manager app. Then it should show up in the list of sounds when you set your ringtone. The same steps can be done for notification sounds. If you're confused, there's plenty of youtube video tutorials showing you step by step information.
I do it this all the time, I create custom ringtones with Audacity (cut out the chorus and fade the track in and out so it sounds cleaner). Right now I have the Jetsons door bell as my notification sound
Just a wild guess that you didn't put your custom ringtones in the proper file location on your SD card.
You need to create a folder called "media" (no quotes). Inside that folder create a folder called "audio". Inside that folder create 3 separate folders called "alarms", "notifications" and "ringtones".
Place your custom ringtones in the ringtones folder, reboot (not sure if that's necessary) and your customs will show up.

Thanks alot guys. That was exactly my problem, I did not have the media folder.
Wasn't exactly sure where it should have gone so I used ringdroid to create another Ringtone and it place the media folder along with the Ringtone folder on my SD card.
Always amazes me how simple a problem can be resolved if you have one price of information.
Thanks again. You are the best.

DO I have to have the same ringtones on all the folders so I can place custom ringtones in say text email etc..?
thanks
if not where are the text ringtones located at? I did a search by name and nothing came up though I have ring tones to choose from
thank you again
You can always download RINGDROID from the market. It lets you "trim" your mp3's and set them as default/contact ring tone or notification.
So far that is the best way I found to work in my phone.
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?
I love my new 5X but, unhappy with the volume and sound of stock alerts and ringtones. How can I include downloaded tones to my sounds options?
There are two folders called "Ringtones" and "Notifications" in your phone's storage. Just add the files to the applicable folder and they should show up.
