I can't seem to use custom/nonstock ringtones for notifications on ei22. Before on ec05 I had a folder on my sdcard that had them all and it worked but no go now. Theb only thing I can think of is that ei22 doesn't support mp3 tones because I even tried placing it in the notification folder within the system.
I did search but every thread is to disable it lol
Works fine for me. I click notification sound in settings>sound and all my ringtones pop up in the list and work fine. Maybe you need the sounds in the ringtone folder.

So for some reason I can use MP3 for ringtones but not notifications. In order for me to use custom notifications they need to be OGG, ei22 doesn't like MP3's for some odd reason
By the way I am using CleanGB rom so maybe its that if everyone else is able to use MP3's.
EDIT:
Spoke to soon, I can now see it under notifications but it doesn't play it

I'm on Legendary and have no problem using MP3s in my ringtone folder. Try converting it to M4A file. Maybe there is a file you are missing since CleanGB has a lot of bloat removed.
As wack as this may sound, if you truly can't find a resolution...ringdroid supports mp3 notifications.

Thanks, I was not able to find an option to change it manually but I downloaded the Zedge app and it allowed me to choose a notification that it had (same one I had).

Hey guys,
Before rooting, I could get all my audio files to show up whenever I wanted to use on for a contact's ringtone, or a notification or anything. Now, I can't see them. Am I supposed to put them somewhere so the phone will detect them?
Also, I'm wondering why the ROMS for 2.2 Froyo on the mt3gs have ADW launcher on them. Is that because we don't have an official T-Mobile or HTC Sense launcher yet? Or am I totally off with what I'm saying?

You can still select your songs as your ringtone. You just need to go to you music app and select it as such through there. I personally use ringdroid and that makes my song clip a ringtone to be bundled with the ringtones available.
and yes, there isnt a sense launcher 2.2 yet so therefore it can not be included in a mts rom. There are other home launchers you can use however.

I just tried to go to individual songs and it only allows me to set them as the the phone's ringtone but not as contact specific ringtones.
I'm on the cyanogen ROM, if it matters.

Go to said Contact, Press menu, options, ringtone.
It doesn't show MY tracks that I put on the SD card. It only gives me the default track as an option.
Could this be a bug in the ROM?? I gotta be able to use my tracks for different people. Where should I put the tracks?
Oh, ok. You want each contact to have a diff ringtone. Download ringdroid from market and make your ringtones there. The newly made ringtones will appear with the default.

Ok, cool, I'll try that. I just found it so weird that it was so simple on 2.1 but now with the 2.2 ROM it doesn't seem to work. I'll try ringdroid. I was thinking it might work if I copied the ringers I have into the folder on the phone that holds all the stock ringers. Thought maybe that might work. I like to try to run things with as few apps as possible to help the battery.
Thanks!

That'd definitely work. Push them to system/media/audio/ringtones
Hmm, weird...
Astro won't let me paste or move to the phone. Any ideas?
Use adb to put the files there. None of the root explorer apps ever worked for me.
Any idea where I can get commands to do that kind of copying? I have no idea how to use adb other than the instructions in rooting.
I was wondering if somebody could create a guide to create ringtones that won't cause my phone to FC. It does not FC with some of the system Ringtones but it does FC on some of the larger files.

You can put any mp3 file on your phone's sd card and click on it and choose use as ringtone. Or download any one of a number of apps to make ringtones like Ringdroid.
Do you BONSAI?

Yes I do? I am running Bonsai 4.1.0.B9. But anyways what ringtone maker are you using when I try to create a ringtone I get FC. I am using Ringdroid.
The soluation to my problem convert your mp3 file to ogg files.
What I did is I converted mp3 into ogg files. They are the sound files that are native to android. Ogg file work a lot better than mp3 files. I download a free program from cnet called FreeMp3WmaOggConverter to covert my mp3 to ogg files. Now my phone does not FC anymore now I have to find a program to edit my ogg files.
I've used sharetones on the market. U can make your own ringtones

There was a problem with Bonsai 4.1.0b9 that has not been corrected yet and 6 phones have fully bricked requiring the return at a Sprint store. Please flash back to 4.0.1 as soon as possible. After flashing 4.0.1 rerun one click root CWM 3.0.0.6.
Push the my files apk to your phone.

Mp3 for some reason don't play well with my cell phone. Either my phone sometimes locks up or it just does not play at all. I am using the midnight rom 5.2 and mp3 are very inconstistant with my Samsung Epic. Ogg files on the other hand work 100% of the time it does not matter weather they are long or short they flat out just work.
It is fun funny that am the only person who is having issues with mp3 files as ring tones.

Actually, I've been having issues lately. On the ringtone selection screen, the phone would seem to lock up and then FC on me when I would hit "OK"
I'm going to try to convert my mp3 ringtones and notification tones to .ogg and see if that helps. I'm using SUPER http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
Just finished converting to .ogg and tested it out.
So far so good!
@jamice4u, thanks for the suggestion!
I have had this issue before. I was running SRF 1.1.0 at the time. To fix it, I backed up my entire SD card, formatted it from my PC, then very selectively put files back on the SD card.
Resolved my FC'ing that happened when I selected a ringtone, set an mp3 file as an alarm, playing with RingDroid and anything to do with mp3's other than using the stock music player.

Yeah, I thought it might've been something corrupt on the SD card. I pulled it, backed it up, then formatted it and re-copied everything to it, just as I had it laid out before. Still had the same issue. Converting the files over to .ogg seems to have done the trick.
I enjoy Android 4.2 tones better than TouchWiz tones. I converted the audio for alarms, ringtones, and notifications into mp3 format in case anyone doesn't have root or has difficulty listening to them. They are originally (.ogg) format. Once you download, put them in a folder labeled "audio" on your SDcard (Internal or External) whichever you prefer. Afterwards, they should appear whenever you're trying to make an alarm, ringtone, or notification sound selection. Reboot if they don't appear.
The files are on this link:

Enjoy.
Cool. Thanks

Hey scampos, can you upload these files to a host that doesn't require a premium account to download them? I'd love to get these audio files on my S3 but don't want to pay to download (unless I'm completely missing something....)
Thanks!

Is it possible to customize the phone app in Task650? I'd like the stock phone app from 4.1.1 where the display is
larger and the name of the caller is also large.
Is this possible?? Otherwise, I like the Task650 ROM (finally loaded).
Thanks

I am not actually responding to this question but to the question you posted about using an mp3 file as your ringtone. I have one that I created years ago with an app called Ringroid and it let me capture part of an mp3 and set it as a ringtone. After every complete wipe, I drag that file from my external sd to my internal sd card and I can select it as my ringtone (it does not have the same extension, nor does it appear on the list as the other ringtones). I can, however, using ES file explorer select it as my ringtone (it lists all of my music, including the clip I use as my ringtone).
Thanks. I did that and it worked. Now on to the dialer issue.
Suggestions?

Stock 4.1.1 dialer will be touchwiz, which won't work on aokp roms, at least without some heavy framework modding. Even then I'm not sure it's possible. Best to look at dialer alternatives in the play store if you don't like the one in Task's rom.
Thank you. I've taken a look and nothing really jumps out.

Forgive me if i dont understand right but you say the stock ringtones and notifications are there in system/media? If not what is there? Do you have a noise happening when notification or call comes in? If so just change them by either using music player and selcting use as ringtone, etc or just add your own files with sounds or music to the same place in system/media where the stock ones are. Make sure they are the right file type. Then you might see the option under settings tab. If not then save stock sounds to a folder on your sd card and the ones left that you just put there should now be your new sounds. Let me know if this worked please. Good luck
1st yes. 2nd not before I set a ringtone from music. 3rd that us the solution I was using. 4th will try that. 5th they are .ogg so nothing e.g music picks them up. in previous versions settings had all of them

How many ogg files are showing under system/media/? Just one? If so adding another may give you an option in settings. If not try nova launcher and go to settings again and options may show. If not look for app that converts files to other kinds of files and the oggs might be able to be turned to another format that makes it show up in music player. If not try flashing newer nightly update and see if it fixes itself in the next build. Let me know
