You need to make a folder naming 'notifications' onto your SD-card and put these files in it, otherwise it is always better to add in System\media

I made the folder directory: sdcard/media/audio/notifications and saved the mp3 there, but it still doesn't show up when selecting a notification tone, like, for example, texts. I tried to move the mp3 into the phone's storage, but it won't let me.. I'm using OI File Manager. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Are you rooted? Use ES file explorer, don't forget to mount file system in settings.

I'm running stock. I assume that I have to be rooted to save files onto the phone, as the mount setting is only available for rooted phones. Is this the only way I'm gonna be able to accomplish what I want to do?

I used to use an app called Rings Extended on my G1 to set my own Notification Ringtone(or incoming text). Doesnt seem to work on the Vibrant. Is there another way?
I use tone picker it's in the market. Works fine on mine.
You can also create custom folders which android will recognize for custom sounds. Create a folder called "Media". In that, create a folder called "Audio". In the Audio folder create folders called "Ringtones", "Notifications", "Alarms". If you put custom sounds in those folders, you will be able to select them in your settings.

You can only set custom ringtones for entries stored on the Phone (not GMail like it should be). Easiest way is to create a 2nd contact with the same exact name and set the ringtone there. The phone will automatically link them together. You just need to enter the name and set the ringtone, don't need to re-enter their phone number, etc.

Cool thanks...that worked.
FYI, Rings Extended works for me. I had it on my G1 also, and I loved it so it was one of the first things I installed on my Vibrant. Is it just force closing on you? Won't finish installing?

Noob question but... where do you create the original "Media" forlder?
I believe you can put it in your sd card folder.

How to delete preinstalled ringtones
How to delete preinstalled notification tones
How to add notification tones (without an SD card)
It's MotoBlur causing all these troubles for me, not Android, right?
none is causing trouble. To delete, you first of course need root. mount the system. then you can delete and add and just reboot to have it take affect. Navigate to the directories below to delete or push your new sounds over to them.
system/media/audio/ringtones
system/media/audio/notifications
ES File Manager, cannot paste. Eh? I'm rooted though?
Is it easier to use some other file manager? Or some app to chmod? Or is that terminal only?
you can use root explorer. es file manager, is that a root browser? if so you have to mount read/write before you can edit.
ah and a reboot

yeah in post 2 i mentioned you need a reboot for it to take affect. glad this is solved haha.
you will need to root, make sure you have moto mediascape installed on your computer so you have the drivers and software installed,
after you have rooted, you simply open up a folder that is within your atrix's memory, it will state "RINGTONES" just slip your ringtone in there and go ahead open up ringtones from your phone and set it to whatever you have installed.
I am trying to copy some files in system/media/audio/notifications to be used as notification sound but it's not getting copied. I am using File Expert to do this. I have mounted FE as readwrite but the files are not getting copied. First I tried to copy .wav files than I converted the same to .ogg. Still not able to copy those files.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

I just cant see any folder in as media under sdcard. Do I have to create one. and If I am creating than my notification tones under system/media...will work or no.
Yes make the folders and add your tones if you do a search there has been topics on this before.
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...

Do you copy them just like that, to your internal storage and respecting folder structure in your .zip?
example: \Ringtones \audio \notifications
Doesn't seems to be working with me!

I have all my favorite alarms, notifications and ringtones in .mp3 format. Can they be used in the OnePlus 6 in this .mp3 format or do I have to convert them all to .ogg format?

I tried this, but I do not have a 'local tone' option in tones & vibrate... (OOS 5.1.9). Do I miss something?
OK - found it out. Seems to be wrong translation in german. When I choose the first enrtry named 'Standard ringtone' , which is in reality the 'local ringtone', I could select my own files. But I got of list of all audio files on the device (not only from folders ringtones, notifications) and not even in alphabetical order. Maybe its time to switch to lineage or liquid rom...
