hi all,
I would like to know to can I change the "system ringtone" ? I 've set to max. volume level in Settings\Sound\Volume, but it is still nothing being played. which ogg file is the default one? Is it the sherbet.ogg that i found in media/audio/notifications folder by using Root Explorer?
I want to know this because my GS2 re-boot occasionally. Most of cases are before it re-boot, I can hear the sherbet.ogg rings up periodically. After 2 or 3 times of the strange sound, my GS2 will be re-boot.
So, I want to change the "system ringtone" and record a log file by aLotcat if I hear it again.
Thanks for your help.
On your pc:
Make a system>media>audio>ringtones folder nest.
Copy whatever ringtone into the last folder.
Connect phone via USB.
Copy/paste onto sd card.
No idea about the log file.

On the default WM2003 that came with the iMate, i used to copy any *.wma file to my pda, hold click in file explorer and set as ringtone, but after I did the upgrade to WM2003SE this option is gone. Any ideas how to put a wma music file as ringtone.
Thanks
Put it in the windows/rings directory.
Then just go to the normal sounds & Notifications section in settings. Have a look in there and you will see the option for incoming calls.
Thanks Dingo, but why cant i do it like I used to, by right click ??????

Anyone have issues with custom ringtones after rooting?
I had a custom ringtone in the mpga format that was working fine before I rooted. After rooting my phone, applying the lag fix, applying the gps fix, and installing ADW launcher, I can no longer use it as a ringtone.
I can navigate to the file in Astro, but the option to set it as a ringtone is greyed out. Anyone experience this?
Oh, I also clicked on "Fix Permissions" in Rom Manager and it went through the process (I figured it would have a prompt or something), don't know if this has caused it or not, is there a way to reverse whatever it did?
Thanks in advance! I am in Love with XDA and am devouring all the info I can!
I have since tried putting the file in a folder named ringtones in my root sdcard directory and have had no luck getting the file recognized.

I make custom .mp3 ringtones on my laptop then transfer them over to the phone thru Windows Explorer.
1. Connect your phone to the PC via USB
2. On your phone, it should show that USB is connected on the drop down menu...click on it and mount
3. Now open My Computer on your PC and double click to open your internal sdcard (phone memory)
4. There should be a folder called "media." Double click to open that folder and then then double click the folder called "audio"
5. Create a new folder called "ringtones" (for custom ringtones) and another new folder called "notifications" (for custom message tones)
6. Now drag your audio files into the corresponding folders and you should be able to choose your custom ringtones/message tones through the phone settings
There are also apps in the market that enable you to create your own ringtones on the phone using the music in your library (Ringdroid)
Hope this helps
Thank you! That fixed my issue. I just needed to have the ringtone folder in the right directory. Kinda strange it didn't make me do that before the rooting though. Nonetheless, thank you very much for your help!

Confused! I have a sound file on the SD card that I used to use for the notification sound of my prior phone (shift). All the sound files need to be in a dir under system/media/audio/ notifications. I tried copy paste via Astro but the permissions prevent the paste action. How do I get the file moved to where the LTE is expecting it?
I can get it to show up as a ringtone choice. But when I go to settings, sounds, default notification, it is not there.
I have had some issues with astro lately when using it to 'move' (copy paste). Just a hunch, but try doing this using Root Explorer.
Solved:
After failing to copy via all file explorer apps I connected to my computer with debug mode on. I was able to copy paste to the notifications folder & now the phone lists it as a choice. I made it my default & all is well. Lot of work for a simple task?

If you are not r00ted, or S-OFF, HTC Dev unlocked, you will not be able to use Astro or Root Explorer (my personal favorite) to move the files to the correct location, so you would need to download the notification.
Settings => Sound => Notification Sound
Then, you will see an option called "Shifter" which might be the same.
If not, click on the [Get More] button in the upper-right hand corner, to download whatever you like.
If this fails, then you can connect to your computer via USB ~ TWRP Recovery has a great mount option as well... ~ and you can copy and paste at will.
Hi, everytime I unmount my sd card, my ringtone changes, because my ringtone is located there, to another ringtone that I want to use, but i don't know where to find it
It isn't any of the system/media folder sounds (alarms, notifications, etc.). At first i thought that it was from handcent sms and when i selected to change notification sound in it, there was this "default reingtone (695)" which is the ringtone I want. But i tried unsinstalling handcent and the ringtone is still there.
If i mount my sd card my ringtone will automatically change back to my current ringtone. Already tried searching with root explorer too.
Please, help me find this ringtone so i can use it.
Confirm your question, do you want to find the file location or want to set your favorite tone?

Using a file manager like root explorer try searching the root of phone with *.ogg or *.mp3... Maybe you will find it...

Just updated to EMUI 10. on my Honor 8X. I cant see the ringtones which I had on my sd card. I could use custom ring tones. I think the directory has changed. I have tried putting the ringtone folder into Sounds fiolder, no joy, I placed my ringtone folder into the music folder. My ring tones do not appear. How do I fix this? Same goes for notifications. Any help and advice with this will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Have you tried installing a 3rd party file manager like MiX Explorer or Solid Explorer? With one or more installed when I change a ringtone/notification tone I get a 'Choose an Action' dialogue from which I pick one of these apps then navigate to the ringtone/notification tone. Just a thought.
No, I want to be able to select ringtones straight from the setting menu. Think it's something to do with the directory folder.. Tried a few different folders but it's still the same
