copy whatever ringtone or sound you want to use in your device's
application data/sounds folder so you can choose it from your settings . If you already have it on your phone, just use resco explorer to move it or copy it.

Is it possible to change the ringtone for an SMS message?
Here you go!
Yes go to settings tab and click all settings, look under sounds and notifications.
Click on noitifications and select New text messagesfrom top drop down box. Make sure ringtones are on root directory of sdcard. Click the drop down box above play and your ringtone should be in box
there you should be good
Thankyou
Thankyou it works
Glad to help
If by 'change the ringtone' you want to change it to one of the default supplied ones, do as above. If you want a customised .mp3 one, then you need to copy/paste the required ringtone in the Windows folder of the phone, otherwise it will not show up in the list.
or do a search for a program called electric ringo, that allows you to set mp3 for sms tones as well
Can I use MP3s for alarms and SMS tones.
I thought these kind of features where standard on modern smart phones?
Or is there an app for that
i think theres a special app for that i have seen it somewhere on the cyrket website

Have you tried setting it as a ringtone within the music app? Then from there you might be able to choose it in the alarms and notifications?
make a folder on your SD card (the root of it) called "Notifications" and "Ringtones" then copy your ringtones into one and notifications (SMS and Alarms) into the other. Then they appear in the menus. I had to google about to find this myself!
Alternatively you can set it through the music application!
You need to create specific folders on the SD. I have alarms on the SD root for my alarm tone and notifications for my message tone!

/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Media/Notifications
/sdcard/Media/Ringtones
/sdcard/Media/Alarms
That is how I have it setup so I only have one folder in the sdcard root for all of my alarms, notifications and ringtones.
Mine are set as...
/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Notifications
/sdcard/Ringtones
/sdcard/Alarms
Thx, I will give it a go
Why can't they make things simple these days
SOrry to jump in, but cant someone just run over what i may be doing wrong.
On my SD Card i have the following folder setup :
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
and within the notifications folder i have put an MP3.
BUT it doesnt show up in SETTINGS > SOUND & DISPLAY > NOTIFICATION SOUND
Nor does it show up in ChompSMS or SMSPopup.
I have alos tried to create the folders in the root, with no luck.
I know im beign blind, what am i missing.
Nice one, was wondering how to do this.
hot-fuzz I have the exact same set-up as you, works perfectly for me.
Have you tried with a different audio file?
Just download 'Ringdroid' from the marketplace and you can edit your mp3's in the fly and gives you the option to save as tone/notification etc..
OK, sorted it.
The file will only show up if i put ".mp3" at the end of the file, otherwise it doesnt show up.
Thanks for the headsup on Ringdroid, might give that a bash.
I had some problems but at last it is working with the format
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
I noticed there was a similar layout in the phone's ROM
system/
system/media
system/media/audio
system/media/notifications
system/media/alarms
system/media/ringtones
system/media/ui
There was some Facebook mp4 file in that ringtones folder.
Is there any way to set a non standard ringtone for text notifications? Setting them up as normal ringtones is not a problem but I seem to only have standard alerts to choose from for text notifications. And I don't really like them.
open the text app and go to the settings and the notification settings are down the page

You should have root privelage for this and If ur defy is ROOTED than :
1. Use Root explorer
2. Go to /system/media
3. /Audio/notification.
4. copy your desired ringtone here.
5. Now close root explorer and may be you can restart the phone.
6. NOW ur ringtone appear in notification in settings>>Sound>>Notification tone
Njoy !!!
Root is not needed. On the sd card make these:
Media/Audio/Ringtones
Media/Audio/Notifications
and put your favorite sounds in it.
According to FAQ thread, I need to use 3rd party app to set an mp3 as a caller ringtone. Can't I use the native android music player and "set as" just like any other android phones? If this is the case then Imma go pee pee on electric fence... *sad face*
Anyone can confirm this?
Go into People app, click menu button, select Set ringtone...
... it's that simple!
Edit: Well, it's that simple if the mp3 you want is in the ringtone directory - it doesn't pick up ones from your regular music dir.

So you're saying that in music player, there is no "set as " option? Well, that is silly :/
Another alternative is to install GoSMS Pro (free from the market) which ids a great sms app.
The added bonus is that when you go into your contact and select 'set ringtone' you can choose GoSMS instead of Android System. You can then choose between default ringtone, current ringtone, system ringtone or MUSIC which will let you select any mp3 file from your music folder on your phone.
Mark.
In pre-ICS Android, one could place a file Media in de sd-card. Within that file you made the file "Audio" and in that one you made 3 other files: "notifications", "alarms and "ringtones". In those last 3 files you put the mp3's.
Does that strategy still work in ICS, or can you only put custom mp3's as e.g. ringtone, via a third-party app?

You can just stick mp3's in the pre-existing Ringtones folder. The "problem" is that when you pick a ringtone through the standard interface, it only looks there and NOT in the Music folder.
Does anyone have any sensible explanation as to why they remove "set as" option in music player?

Unfortunately, in ICS, this only lets you add audio files for the ringer. The added files do not show up when trying to select a notification sound for SMS and e-mail. I still haven't found a way to use custom notifications for these things yet.
Drop your mp3 ringtones into /sdcard/Ringtones and reboot your phones. They will then be available in Settings/Sounds/Phone ringtone

The music player is for playing music and not setting ringtones. Doesn't seem silly to me.
Plus not many people want a ringtone that's as long as a song. (3 to 5 minutes)
ringtones go in the ringtones folder, notifications in the notifications folder, alarms in the alarms folder, tis easies!
But...
has anybody noticed custom ringtones only play once?
i have a ringtone that's 3 seconds long...plays it once and then stops :| bit annoying...
EDIT: After googling around a bit i've found the solution to that myself!
I feel like I can be helpful for once. It will loop ringtones if you convert the mp3 to OGG format, and in the file info (you can edit this in Winamp for example), create a field called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to TRUE.

No idea why it's doing this, but every ringtone amd notification I set from the app Zedge is automatically reset to default when I restart my phone. It's only happening with the individuals I set it to. Any ideas?

I don't know if this will help you or not. If your rooted, change the file extension of the ringtone from .mp3 to .ogg then select what ringtone you want to use. Are you using a particular app to set ringtones other than zedge?

Why would they need to be rooted to change the file extension of a file that they downloaded?
As for the OP's problem, figure out where the ringtones are downloaded to, move them to a folder called Ringtones on the root of your accessible internal memory (if it's not there, create it) and move the ringtones to that folder. Then you can select them in your phone settings and/or the stock contacts app. Zedge is a great app for getting ringtones and wallpaper, but it's not so good when it comes to applying them. I don't think it has been updated for android oreo.
