[Q] Transfer system ringtone files to SD - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been doing a lot of searching and cannot find the answer as to how to transfer ringtones from the phones internal storage to the SD card.
I am running Cyanogenmod 7 and under the settings for the ringtones, at the top I have ringtones in english text and at the bottom I have ringtones in chinese text. I really like the chinese ringtones but are not available in the newer version of cyanogenmod 7.
I have check the sounds with the SD card removed from the phone and the ringtones I want to transfer are on the phone itself. I searched in \system\media\audio\ringtones and I can only find the english ringtones. I can not seem to find the ringtone anywhere in the directory tree. The only place I have access to the ringtones is in the sound settings. I even went as far as making a backup in recovery and extracting the .img files to possibly get the ringtones there.
I have attached 2 pictures of the settings where I see the ringtones.
At this point I am completely out of ideas. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really like to keep these ringtones for my next rom update. Thanks in advance.

I found one ringtone online ζœˆδΈ‹ζ±Ÿε—
I did find one ringtone online from here "mobile.91.com/Ring/32308.html" (still cannot post outside links). The other one will be more of a challenge since the characters are more complex. I hope I can get the others out of the phone. If you have any ideas, please reply. If I figure something out along the way, I will post my solution.

Two questions

Hi,
I have tow questions:
1) How do I tell the Music app to scan only specified forlders on my SD card to look for music files?? I have star-translate and text-to-speech service installed and the Music app also brings up those translated sounds, which is very annoying.
2) ASTRO can no longer create folders on my SD card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but this did not fix the problem. I just cannot press the "create" button. However, Linda file manager creates folders fine. Any way to sort this out? Anyone else got this problem?
Thanks for your help and comments
Any help guys??!!
You can add in a .nomedia file to folders you don't want included in the Music app. More details can be found here.
I read that thread... thanks for sharing. But this does not seem to be the best solution, rather it is a very complicated one which I never expected from Android. I mean the best way should be to tell the Music player which folders to include and which not to include.
Is it REALLY not possible?? If so, then c'mon all the Dev community!! It is a very fundamental issue which needs your attention ASAP. I should be saying this to the Google people but I don't think they are gonna be as helpful as you guys

[Q] New message tone

Hi all,
I would like to use my own message tone - not the stock tones. I have already done this with the ringtone but the message tone refuses to play ball
Will someone please let me know how to do this if possible? Thanks.

On your internal card find a folder called media, inside that one should be one called audio and inside that one notifications, put your alert tones in there. If the folder does not exist, just create it.

I want the buzzer from the 1980's quiz show catchphrase if anyone one knows where I could obtain it. Friend had it years ago and I've never been able to locate it.

Found this link to the tone: http://www.hodgers.com/downloads/catchphrase.mp3
Your a diamond cheers fella!
Message tone
Padlad - you are a star - thanks very much
I read this somewhere and it worked for me:
Created 3 folders in the root (phone or sd):
Ringtones
Notifications
Alarms
Put your mp3's in there and they come up rightaway... not reboot required!

Classic ringtones

I just wanted to share these ringtones I found online. I use to cut my own ringtone from songs (was an obsession for a while), then I decided to keep it classy. Enjoy!

Thanks for the link. I've been looking for the old British General Post ringtone for some time. Its classic.
These are actually pretty sweet. Thanks!
Preciate the post...I'm one of those who doesn't really dig the "music" tones either...can't hear them very well sometimes. Look forward to trying these out.
And, you probably already know about this too...but there's an app (yes there's an app for that ) on the market called Zedge. It's an interface that lets you browse thousands of tones (ringtones, notifications, etc) and you can even enter your own search. It allows you to download directly to the phone and assign it yourself. I've gotten some cool ones off there.
Thanks again!

[Q] Lost sound pack, does anyone know which one I had :)

I accidentally dropped my HOX in the ocean :-/... I used a ringtone Open Ocean on my HTC which I want to use again on my new phone. If I recall correctly I downloaded some HTC notifications and ringtones pack here which contained that particular ringtone.
Been searching the forum but can't find the sound pack. Does anyone know which soundpack I am taking about maybe?
Thanks

Where to download good ringtones?

I am using a g5 motorola phone and I have lost the incoming call bell, so I want to ask where can you download good ringtones?
* No one answered, but I found a place with a ringtone. This is the place I've seen for those who need ringtones.
Had you searched the site you would have found many options from apps like zedge, to programs to make your own.
