Adding a new ringtone

I just received my new 32GB sdcard, yippeeee!
So I created a folder on the sdcard, so the path is now :
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones and I have a file called SYNTH.MP3
When I goto :
Settings / Personalize / Default Ringtone - I can't see a ringtone named SYNTH.
Am i doing something wrong ? I found several guides online which tell me exactly the above. I even rebooted the phone to see if that would somehow re-read the phone.

2 minutes later i went back into the same path of settings I can now see the new ringtone. strange but it works, that's the main thing.
Settings > sound and display > phone ringtone

I guess the media sync have updated the library in the meantime :/

Custom Ringtones setting ???

guys, i have few MP3 & few OGG files which i was using them as ringtones on my previous phone.
in SGS2, i dont know how i can set custom ringtones.... i saw some OGG files in system/media/audio/ringtone folder through root explorer.
i tried copying OGG files into that folder, it allowed me. but when i went to settings/sounds/ringtone.... there it doesnt show up the newly added file...
what should i do ? is it possible to use custom ringtone on SGS2 ? if yes, how & in what format the SGS2 recognises music files....
pls let me know.... i am waiting

Hmmm think the fastest way on a clean phone would be to just play the song in the media player and then "menu > set as > phone ringtone"
Think you can also set then using kies.
Mind you I've only used mp3's so not sure if this also goes for OGG files.
hope it's somewhat usefull

Copy Ringtones to folder System/Media/ringtones . I use super manager .
Format .ogg .
Exit reboot phone .
Go to setting sounds phone ringtone scroll down and then back up for ringtone select new ringtone .

You can actually put them in any partition, even on the memory card, you don't have to root so long as you put them in the correct folder:
Ringtones
/media/audio/ringtones/
Alarms
/media/audio/alarms/
Notifications
/media/audio/notifications/
I believe that any audio format that the phone can support may be used

thanks guys, i played the file & in the options i set it as ringtone. that played the trick. after choosing that mp3/ogg file as default ringtone, it showed up in sound/phone ringtone setting.... till then it was not so...
thanks for you help...
it would have been better to search for list of music files from default ringtone settings....i wish.... its okay....

You don't even need the media/audio/ folders.
My sd card just has the last folder name, and any files in there show up in the relevant selection menus.

[Q] how to add a new sound for the notification and SMS

I tried to add some new sounds for notification but I failed the ROM RCMiX v2.2 no with "root explorer" as I've worked at some other ROMs. Does not allow me to system> media> audio> notificaton any necessary audio.
whether there is any other way to set your own tone for SMS as the primary?

Hi there
You can try to create "media\audio\notifications" folder structure on your sd card, and put your notifications there.
It might also be useful to use "SDrescan" app to rescan your sd card for new media files.
Later you should be able to find your sounds in notification select dialog...
Worked for me on CM7.1

I managed to "Root explorer" sound copied to the system / audio / notifikation so I took the market application called "mount / system (rw / ro)" new tone but does not appear in the list to select a message tone. I will try to reboot it might appear?
thanks for the advice I hope that at least some of this work.

Did the rebooting help?
Try to follow my previous post this should be a simple and working solution.

Install any file explorer and save the custom ringtone in your sd card. Then goto changing your ringtone option, and there, you should be prompted to use File Manager or Android System, choose File Manager, browse to your custom ringtone and choose it. Done.

Go to "file manager " -> media (folder) -> audio (folder) -> ringtone(folder). Inside this folder paste your mp3 files you want as ringtones. Come out off the app and then go to settings, sounds & notifications, select ringtone, there you should see your mp3 file added along with the built-in list. If not there, better do a restart you device. Delete the files if you do not want in the list. I don't know the maximum no. Of files that could be added.

Its simple just put the required ringtones in the "ringtones" folder of the internal storage and notification sounds in "notifications" folder of the internal storage and by internal storage i mean phone storage not external sd card

Can't paste mp3 files.

I'm a newbie. I created mp3 ringtones and transferred them to the phone. I cut files and could not paste them in ringtones folder. What do I need to do? Do I need to root the phone? Please be detailed in your description since I am still learning how to do this.

Dear Clifbandit,
Connect your tab to any windows xp / 7 /8 pc or laptop. If any pop up comes in your tab, like MTP etc, select MTPwhich says Media Transfer Protocol. In your computer, open my computer, there you should see your tab as a new drive or folder or as a media player icon. Open it, create folder inside the "Internal Memory ' as in previous post, paste. Then disconnect simply, rest is as above any posts.
And finally, I like very much your name.

For some reason I was having problems earlier. I rebooted the phone and this time I was able to copy and paste just as you advised. Now my phone is rockin' out with Slash playing when it rings! Thanks so much for your help.

nope, that folder isnt even in my zenfone2
incase anyone was wondering why they cant also change there message tone using the same method
create notifications folder inside internal storage>media
then you can change your text and email tones the same way you can with your custom ringtones. [settings>sound and notifications] dont ask me why this folder wasnt included standard. its real half assed phone in many ways
