Until we have a working AOSP settings or a Custom rom notification sounds must be changed manually within the file system. To do this we must rename the default sound file to something else, then swap the notification file with the one we want.
Using Root Explorer or comparable file browser make your way to "/system/media/audio/notifications".
The default notification sound file is "OnTheHunt.ogg".
Rename this file to "OnTheHunt.ogg.old" and rename a different sound file to "OnTheHunt.ogg"
Enjoy!

Does anyone have the call of android boot animation with sound for the galaxy s II? I can't seem to find one thats compatable. I have it rooted and flashed with entropy and have a custom boot installed, but I can't seem to find the COA one that works.
Download the bootanimation.zip located in the Attached Files section at the bottom of this post. It is formatted 800 x 480 which is correct for our phones. Copy to your sdcard and then use a root file manager such as root explorer to copy it into the /system/media directory. You may want to rename the bootanimation.zip that is already there so you don't overwrite it. Root explorer is a paid app. Super Manager by GPC includes a free root file explorer is you need one.
For the boot sound, the author provides an mp3 file. Our phone uses PowerOn.wav in the /system/etc directory. So I converted the mp3 to wav which you can download here. (dropbox - click to listen, right click and Save file as to download) Transfer this wav file to the /system/etc directory and you will hear the sound with the boot animation. The only problem is that there seems to be a limit of about 7 seconds on the boot sound. The whole sound file is there, but the phone only plays the first part of it. On my phone, the sound stops about 1 or 2 seconds before the animation stops.
This boot animation is sick, hope it gets properly ported soon
WHY
I believe all of us here like the android that we can do what ever we want with our device,
I personally dislike some of the sound I hear when my device power on and when I unlock the
screen and when I touch and select Menus and item within android.And also the power up sound
HACKING
Please kindly do a backup in case things go bad for you.
Using the APP Root browser (lite from the google play) or any file editing App that has root access you can
change the UI sound that you hear on any android powered device.
For instance i have tried most of the ROMs in the forums.I just download a Custom ICS,JB ROM
And then navigate to the system file in the zip file on my computer and then to media and copy the
files overthere to my device.
LET GET STARTED
1.Connect your device your computer or laptop and turn on USB connection
2.ROM zip file >>>> system >>>> media >>> audio{alarms,notifications,ringtones,ui}
3.create a folder in the storage (system sd card or external sd card) to copy the files from the
Android ROM you downloaded
4.copy the files from the audio folder into the folder you created
5.Run Root browser and navigate to folder you created and open it and multi select each
of the sound files (.ogg).(it does not work selecting the whole folder you will get an error)
navigate back and go to system folder
System >>>>media>>>>>audio and open and paste the files from the previous respective folder you
copied from earlier.( YOU MIGHT HAVE DUPLICATES THE ONLY WAY TO DETECT SUCH IS THE DATE )
6. Now with the UI sounds there is three of them 1.the unlock sound, 2.the lock sound,
3.the screen selection sound. this files are easy to identify for instance most of them are
labelled as such eg. lock.ogg for phone lock, unlock.ogg for screen password unlock sound and
mostly for Samsung it is TW_Touch.ogg for the screen touch selection.
7. You can repeat all the steps for the other audio files. once done you can select and play
the sound within the root browser. you can also copy sounds from notification and ringtones
and use it for any of the UI sounds and vice versa. These also increase the amount of sound
on your device.
8 .If any of the sounds interest you and want to change your UI sound, all you have to do is exactly rename
the original UI sound eg.1TW_Touch.ogg which was the original and then the sound that interest
you for the touch selection to be TW_Touch.ogg and reboot your Device.
9. Same goes with the power sound(powerom.wav) which is located in different folders on
some ROMS within the system folder. (personal i deleted the power on sound I dont like it)
On the current CM10 ROM the only hackable is user interface sound (Effect_tick.oog) is the touch sound. Which is located
System > media>ui

Awesome! Does this work for all versions?
Yes as long as you are rooted

I know how to associate ringtones with contacts.
I want to rename ringtones with the name of the contact so they are easier to find by file name.after flashing a ROM
The problem is that changing the file name doesn't always change the name of the ringtone. Or editing the title in the text file breaks the ringtone so it won't play.
For example:
"Orion" ring tone file can be renamed "Friend1", and will show up in file managers as Friend1. But under Sound/Select Ringtones, it will still show up as Orion. Opening the file in Text Editor and changing the title will break the ringtone.
Solution?
Are you renaming the file name through the phone or on a pc? Might make a difference. Not sure though.

I probably renamed them on a PC, then transferred the folder to the phone sdcard. My plan is to then replace the systen/media/audio/ringtones folder with one that avoids the ringtones I don't like, and only includes options I like.
That works, but doesn't allow my new names to show up under ringtone selection lists. The old name then appears, twice if I also keep the old file with the original ringtone name.
In a text editor, I can change the "title" inside the text of the file, but that breaks the ringtone.
2 Ringtones are exceptions, and don't include 'titles" in the text file. They don't revert, but show up as I have renamed them.

On a computer in a media player, you should be able to "edit tag info" or something similar. that is where you add in the track name, artist, album info and all of a MP3.
**EDIT**
Easier way, on a Windows machine you can just right click the file and select properties, then the details tab, change it there.
If the files are edited properly, they will work, and show up properly. The "text edit" method just broke the files so they wouldn't play. But an MP3 tag editor which can also handle .ogg files will allow the title to be changed and whatever else is needed in there to make it work.
So the solution for me is:
1. Copy the ringtone you want.
2. Rename the file with a R/W capable root explorer, or do it on a PC.
3. Retag with a tag editor to change the Title in the tag if needed, so it shows up properly in the Ringtone selection screens
4. Place the file in the right place with a root explorer, in the case of a Verizon Note 2, the system place is system/media/audio/ringtones
5. I also rename the original ringtones folder, and replace it with one that has all of the ringtones I want, without the ones I don't.
I dont know if anyone has done this yet or not but I was able to change out all the sounds on my g2 with using a root browser and ringdroid.
I used ringdroid and cut the mp3 to the length I wanted and saved as a music file, then go into the file manager and rename the file the same as the file I want to replace in the system\media\audio\ui folder.
Note: when renaming the file instead of .mp3 add .ogg to the end of the file name
Also be sure to back up any sounds you change out first
