No mp3 as alert - S740, S743 General

Hi!
The HTC S740 manual says that you can use mp3 as ringtone, but not as SMS, alert or else. How can that be real? If a phone can use mp3 as ringtone, it can not be an issue to use it as sms or alert. Any workarounds for this?
Thanks
Chris

I solved the problem myself. You have to put the mp3 on the root folder on the phone or SD card, then you can choose it as sms or alert.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I am not mistaken, I think that only wav works for SMS. mp3 or wma works for incoming calls only
Here are mine if you are looking for some "inspirations"
well if you ever saw the movie eurotrip, you may enjoy this .wav/.mp3 file
enjoy lol
EDIT: I have a .wav for an alert tone, and .mp3 for my ringtone (not this mp3 but something else)...and everything is on my SD card (in the root directory, never tried hiding it in a folder)
EDIT SQUARED: I uploaded another .zip file, it has two mp3 ringtones that i use, my email notification noise, and two other .wav files (the old and new SNCF tone)

custom message tones

how do you get custom tones to play, different for phone calls, and messages, and emails, do people use a specific program or the included software. also, where would i put mp3s or others to use as message tones...ringtones ive got, but not for messages.
thanks
ringtones can be mp3 and wma and... and can be located in
my documents and in windows\ and such
sounds for notification as found in settings sounds and notifications
have to be wav not mp3 and have to be located in windows\

(solved) how to change message notification sound?

Hi guys!
Just wondering how to change the sound which is played when a sms comes in ( or email or calendar and so on) to one of my own mp3 sounds ( not just a sound preinstalled with the phone from that list in the sound settings)
Greets felikz
So how was it solved?
Apologies, answer was in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542151&highlight=change+notification+sound
And you can use mp3's for notifications, just enable SD card notifications, place your file in the sdcard/media/audio/notifications directory then bounce (reboot) your phone.
Create the directory if you don't already have it. Other useful directories are /alarms and /notifications.

Whatsapp notifications bug on latest Global Developer 7.6.29

Hi everyone,
I flashed latest Global Developer ROM 7.6.29 and noticed a bug in Whatsapp notifications. If you set your own notification (an mp3 or ogg), phone doesn`t sound when recieving a whatsapp text. Phone only sounds if you set one of the notifications that come with the phone. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a workaround to this? I have an HTC Zeta notif tone I have been using some years and canĀ“t get used to the crappy "DingDong.ogg", LOL.
Cheers!!
So NOBODY on global dev rom has this issue?? You can select any mp3 tone on whatsapp?
I am having same issue
I am facing same issue
when i set custom tones for whatsapp phone is not playing the sound
but when i set system tones it is playing the sound
custom tone for whatsapp call is working fine
All fixed but you need root access. Just cut-paste ringtone to system-media-audio-notifications folder (using root or es explorer) and voila, now whatsapp takes said mp3 tone as system tone and phone sounds.
