[Q] How to use your own ringtones in Xperia X10? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am fed up with stock x10 ringtones. Is there any way to use my own ring/alarm tones? Thanks

Of course, I use kiss ringtones from the market, a lot of beautiful tones you can download and directly set as ringtone or assign to a contact. Also you can download zedge, which is basically the same....
News ringtone made an app called ringtone player which you also can choose from your own music, don't know how it works, didn't try it as I am very happy with kiss ringtones

If you wont to use your own mp3s as a ring tone just download astro file manager. Find your music folder open it choose a song long press it you will get a pop called file opions choose music option then set as ring tone

Or just open the music file in mediascape then press the menu( left most hard key) button and select use as ringtone.

Create a folder on your sd card called audio. Create four new folders within that labelled...
alarms
music
notifications
ringtones
...any tones you put in the three tone folders will show up in the appropriate choice window, so any tones in alarms will show up when wanting to change the alarm tone, and so on.

Will test that too, didn't know, thanks for the advice. Cheers

I use an apparently called Ringo lite, put your mp3's in a folder called ringtones on ya sd card, you can then add them as ringtones or message tones, it even lets you assign different ringtones/message tones for each of your contacts

how to change message notification sound.

I want to change the message notification to the "droid" sound and alrerady have it d/l to my phone. Is there a way to enable it using the stock messaging app?
Redownload the sound from the Zedge application (They have every sound you can imagine, they'll have yours) go into messages, click the menu button, scroll down to "select ringtones" and select Zedge. Click the tone you downloaded and you're set.
Alternatively you could use something like Root Explorer and move the file to your system>media>audio>notification folder. I ripped the entire audio folder from one the other Vibrant roms and moved it over using this method.

[Q] Unable to change default sound

Is there a way to change the default sound to something other then the pre-loaded HTC sounds? I was able to change the phone ringtone to a song on my sd card. When going to settings, phone ringtone there is a new ringtone button which let me choose whatever I want but when I go to the default sounds I do not have that option. The only option I get is, get more, which takes me to the HTC hub. I tried ringdroid and made a ringtone but it don't show up. I also installed tone picker but it doesn't show up either. Another strange thing is, I am using handcent and have a mp3 selected within handcent but when I get a text it uses the default notification instead. Anyone else having this problem?
I had similar issues. I used HTC Hub to download a new ringtone package, and found out that it just over writes everything I may have had selected.
I've had to go in and redo my ringtone and message notifications a few times, mostly after I hook it up and enable SD storage on the computer.
If I have someone call or send a text message while its hooked up as storage, it changes EVERYTHING back on mine to the stock sound settings.
Ok what i did with mine was use astro file manager to take whatever mp3s i wanted for notifications and copied and pasted them into my notifications folder which will be located in your media folder,open astro click sd card then click media then audio then notifications and paste whatever you want to hear for notifications sounds in there then when you go to your list they should show up and work like a charm.
I think I did that with a file manager and it still didn't show under Notification sounds. You need to hit set as once the desired file is highlighted and set it as a notification that way.
Use Zedge. Its a free app and you can select it as default instead of using system. Works wonders!

Menu --> Personalize --> Notification Sound
This is where you can change the default notification sound as well as the sound for the email app, the messaging app, and the calendar.
This took me awhile to figure out. A new feature of Sense 3.0. Possibly introduced in Sense 2.1. Not sure. But different than the EVO either way...

[Q] stupidest question ever! sorry

how to set mp3 or ogg files as text message notification?
my mob is rooted on latest stock fw, i did put my ogg file in system/media with root explorer with permisions set correct but stock tones only work after selecting my new tone. new one will not play?
any apps to bypass this..
basicly i have a r2d2 soundboard app from the market that lets me select ringtone/notifications. battery low tone works and sounds wiked buts texts dont. so i tried to manualy move the .ogg to the system notifications folder and set permisions, but like i said.. it wont play. stock tone replaces it.
i want R2D2 becuase it fits with my droid. nuff said
How about Settings > sound > Notification ringtone? I'm using CM7 so im not sure if that applies for u, havent used stock rom for ages.
I use GO sms so it comes with a sound choser, I can select any of my sound files that are available in the phone/sd card using it.
P.S. There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. xD (quote from southpark)
yes i have Settings > sound > Notification ringtone. but after selecting R2D2, it will will be a stock tone when a text comes thru. i didnt want any apps as i thought i could do it with root explorer.
No need for any app buddy.
make folder in your sd card like media/audio
And for custom notifications, make a folder inside audio called notifications and for ringtones,make one called ringtones.
so it will look like media/audio/ringtones or notifications.
Hope that helps..!!
Yup, as side_effect said. But for some reason notifications are played quieter than tones, so if you have a program like Audacity on your desktop you should increase the volume of the track before you put it on your SD Card.

MINICM9 change ringtone

Its a stupid question! But, how I can change the ringtone in MINICM9?
1. settings
2. sound
3. phone ringtone
Sorry! Double Post.
Ans how can I use my own MP3's?
download a ringtonepicker from the market, standard android doesn't let you choose own mp3's, but with a third-party ringtonepicker it will work.
go to music and long press song or mp3 and set as ringtone. depends on how you access those mp but usually does the trick
Create the folder
sdcard/ringtones for your call ring tones,
sdcard/notifications for your message notifications,
sdcard/alarms for the alarm tones.
Any mp3 you put in these folders will show up in the list for selecting the tones
Ok thanks!

Custom alarm tones?

Am I missing something here? On my nexus 5, all I had to do was add the tones to the alarms folder on the internal SD card. I've tried that with the moto X and they don't appear in the tones list. I've even tried putting them in the ringtones and notifications folders, no dice, even after reboots.
I've even tried Zedge, and while downloaded tones show up in the ringtones list for the phone app, they're not there in the clock app.
I'm not rooted so I can't add them to the media folder under system. Any thoughts, ideas? And I did search the moto X forums for anything with the word "alarm" in it and didn't see anything.
You can use a media player like Apollo. Long press on the track you want to use as the alarm and make it a ringtone. It'll then appear in the alarm tones list in the clock app.
Just a workaround I've been using ever since my days of running 4.4.4 on my rooted Galaxy S2.
