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.

Hi there, is not difficult to use Mp3 as ring tones
1o download (from your muisc device) the Mp3
2o copy to main memory or to external memory in a folder called RINGTONES
3o in the icon PHONE (on the WIZARD of course) look for sounds, then just choose the new ringtone (S) you have put on your memory or phone....
Good luck
yes,i know how to change may ring tone for calls... but i need to change my text message tone...
I hope that you understend because i am not to good with english...
save the mp3 ringtone you want for your text to main memory>my documents>whatever folder you choose. then you change it the same way you change your ringtone for calls. you have to save it to my documents on the phone for it to appear in the message tone list.
So far so good with v21 nice work REZA likeing the new icons !!!!!!!
save the mp3 ringtone you want for your text to my device -> windows then paste it in. then you can change you text message ringtone.
I've tried all the different methods and it wont find the tone when i change my sms tone its not in the list i've tried saving it under my documents, under the windows library and under windows/rings any ideas??
My phone is a htc topaz
Try to put the ringtone in the ".wav" format (16 bit, 11 khz, mono, PCM) in Windows folder - for me this worked. I´m using a Wizard. For sms, mp3 tones doesn´t worked for me....
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.
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...

The default sound is nowhere to be found. I have looked in System/Media and it is not there. The tone I am talking about is when no tone is selected in the selection area. The AT&T tone is selected by default for the ringtones, but nothing is selected for the notification tone. The notification still has a default sound and that's the one I am trying to find. Any help would be great.
I am little confused on what your asking which version of Android and firmware your running. Can you see the ring tone where you go to change it in settings? And if your looking for where in system the file it self is what are you using to go though your files with. Personally I like root explorer but you have to have root I will look to see where tones are.
AT&T ATRIX - VERSION 2.3.4 ROOTED BL UNLOCKED
I am on a rooted Motorola Atrix with Gingerblur ROM installed (2.2.2). The ringtone I am interested in was on the stock Atrix as well. This tone can be found by going to Messaging, Menu->Settings->Notification settings->Select ringtone->Default ringtone. But this ringtone is not where I would expect. My goal is to make this Default ringtone my Phone ringtone instead of my Messaging Notification ringtone. I looked with Astro in /system/media/audio/notifications... actually, I looked in all the folders in audio (alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui) and this tone is not there. Is there somewhere else to look with Astro? Thanks for the help!
Does anyone know how to add your own ringtone and notification sound files? On my previous phone, I could just drop mp3s in the Ringtone and Notifications folders in the sdcard folder. Adding them here doesn't seem to make them show up in the menu to choose them, and the "add ringtone" interface seems to only pull from songs in the music folder. Anyone have more success than me?
I just dropped the files in the ringtone/notification folders and they showed up fine for me in the respective sound settings menus.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wierd... Chalk it up to user error... Tried it again and it worked.... sigh. Thanks for the reality check.
For some reason, the silent ringtone mp3 that i dropped into the notifications folder doesn't show up in the list of tones. I dropped the same file into the ringtones folder and it shows up on the list. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
