So I haven't needed to find a ringtone for a phone in a long time. Typically I can find one I like but all of the ringtones on this phone make me embarrassed to have ring in public. Any suggestions on sites or apps for some standard ringtones?
I like zedge in the market. Its got alot of different ringtones, notification tones and wallpapers. You should be able to find something thats not embarrassing.lol There really are some ****ty ringtones on this phone.

Try soundjax.com and search for something you like
I'd recommend ringdroid to create your own from songs you like, or any other sound file

Quick question: is it possible to add custom sounds to stock notification panel? By that I mean add a song to the alarm choices... I know how to do this on my X but I'm asking for a friend who is a Evo user TIA

I'm looking through my system directories right now to figure out where these sound files are located. If I can find them, I bet we can replace them.
EDIT: One easy way is to just drag your MP3 of choice to /media/audio/notifications on your SD card. It will show up in the list of sounds for notifications, so you can set a custom text message or email sound. Still working on the alarm.
EDIT 2: From another thread:

Trying it now.
EDIT 3: Yup, that did it. Just make a new folder called "alarms" on your SD card under /media/audio and put your MP3 in there. Thanks, I had been wondering about this as well.
Thanks you fckin RAWK just KNEW I was gonna get flamed for this post on the DROID devices it's pretty simple to add sounds but, I have no knowledge of Evo but wanna help a bigger "n00b" than me if I can

Just to cover my bases, check my edited post above, it does work.
That's how it's done on DROID basically... So it adds to alarms also on Evo?

Yes, I put a new MP3 in my new "alarms" folder and it showed up in my alarms options list for a new alarm. I also put one in "notifications" and was able to set it as my default notification sound (texts, voicemail, email, etc). But they are independent of each other - having an MP3 in "notifications" does not put it in the alarms menu.
The sprint lady said I can dw a app that let's me set different tones I don't always want 2 look at the phone 2 c what I have, on my old bb I had tones set 4 everything lol, and if I could set the volumn sometimes I can't hear them or hey r to loud depending on the tone wats a good app? thanks guys!!!
I don't understand what your saying.
Use periods and actual words.

Just create this directory on the sdcard: /sdcard/media/notifications/ then put any music file you want in there and it'll be a notification tone. Same for ringtones, just make another folder called ringtones instead of notifcations. Also, download the app called ringdroid, and you can copy bits of a song as a tone.

Each email account, under settings just put in the notification sound. Do the same for everything that has notifications. You can pick phone sounds or ringrtones.
All notifications can be used with everything. The same tonesare available for text, emal, facebook, etc. Use a pc, or download astro file manager to create the directories

I personaly use "ringtone maker mp3" from the market. It let's you load music files from ur SD card and edit them to ur liking and save them as either notification/ringtones. After u have saved some ringtones/notification tones, just go to ur contacts, chose a contact and under "edit" u should see a "set ringtone" botton to select a ringtone for that contact. Don't think u can adjust the volume for every custom set contact ringtone, it'll use ur default ringtone/notification volume level. Hope this helps somehow

thanks guys!
Hi all, have been playing with some Bladerunner MP3s for use as ringtones and notifications, it seemed apt for my new phone the Galaxy Nexus.
As I've had so much great stuff from XDA it only seemed right that I share.
I've attached two files:
BR RINGS.rar longer for ringtones - including deckards own vid-phone ringtone that I've looped.
BR TONES.rar for notification tones etc
Just copy into the Notifications or Ringtones folder on your Nexus.
If I do anymore I'll update them.
Enjoy!
Thank you for this. I love me some Bladerunner
Thanks also,i'll give them a go,
ta
Since these are just tones can they be used on other phones or are they just for the nexus?
They can be used on other phones, they're just MP3s but I've done them for my own Galaxy Nexus so have put them here, feel free to share
Thanks for this, I have wanted the Bladerunnder vidphone as my ringtone for ages. One request, could you sample the vidphone hanging up noise as I would like to use that as my notification sound.

Thanks. Can't listen to them at work but there are on my phone now for this evening.
where are attachments?
I'm fully on-board the Nexus wagon. Just got phone from the Play Store, while setting up the thing, I noticed that “Ringdroid” doesn’t work; any suggestion regarding an app that plays my mp3 silly ringtones?
I'm using zedge and am happy with that (allows you to download whichever ring tone you want)
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
An app that plays them? Or do you mean you want to use them a ringtones?
Look on your "sdcard"... There is a folder called Ringtones and another called Notifications. Just put them in their respective folders then they will show up in the list of stock tones when you're setting them.

Thanks, but I meant ringtones you create, (used Ringdroid to do that but has not been updated to JB yet); I’m searching for another app that does the same.

EDIT: Dammit. I had 666 posts. This was #667.
Ideally I'd like to change my ringtone to a song and I'd like to make my text message notification the brief piano intro to outkast's roses. Is there any easy way to go about doing this?
Thanks!
in your sd card there are folders called 'Notifications' and 'Ringtones.' put the respective sound files (they should be in m4a format) where they belong. reboot and they should appear in the settings under sound.

if you have the .mp3 file i suggest using ringdroid then edit the music file to where you want it to start and stop :good:

MP3 ringtone maker works great for me. It's free, lets you search and download songs within the app and has a great editor for cropping in/out points. What more could you ask for?
if you need the ringtone to repeat, I believe it has to be in ogg format and you need to add a parameter to it in the id3tags to tell it to repeat. I did this on my ex's Galaxy Nexus S. I am sure there is more info on this in the general section of the android forums.
Here is a link to the topic I was talking about:

I've always used audacity on my pc to make the ringtone, then copy over to ringtones/notifications folder

but did you use the ogg format and add the metadata???? I know this works as I used it for the opening bars of Linkin Parks Numb for my ex and it works awesome.
