Can anyone tell me if it is possible to put your own alerts on for messages and alarms? I have done it for ringtones, but for the life of me I can't get it on for messages and alarms?
You can use ringdroid. It allow you to cut some mp3 for example and when you save it ask you how do you want to use the ring (alarm, rington...etc)
It's the same if you save the file without any cut
If you dont want to use a third party app, you can load the MP3's into the following folders in the following path:
SD Card/media/audio/ ....
Inside "audio" there should be: alarms, notifications and ringtones.
If you use an app like OF File Manager, you have to restart your phone. If you load it from your comp once the SD Card is mounted, it should show up.

to make a song a ring tone, you need to copy the music file over to your phone. it can be a .mp3 or .wav and maybe the apple file format too. But you want to copy it to:
windows\rings
or
my device\my documents\my ringtones
use active synch to copy the files from your PC to your phone
if you want your contacts to show up with first name first, click the contact and then click menu then click edit. Look at the option 'File as' and click it. it will bring a drop down menu.
i used microsoft outlook to edit all my contacts then synch up with active synch
Ok I've loaded some ringtone files and notifications on to my SD card currently in
/mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Now my ringtone I've set as default plays when the phone rings as does my notification for txt(Sms) messages.
But if I try to assign a ringtone to a user it reverts back to default.
Ps I've just tried picking one of the other defaults and it does the same thing, so I don't it the location of my files that's the issue.
Anyone else able to set individual ringtones for people??
Don't put the files there. Make new folders on the sd card for Ringtones/Notifications/Alarms & put your files in whichever folder you want the sound to be
The files appear in the lists ok and as I said I can pick them for default ringtone and messaging.
The problem is that I can not assign an individual ringtone to a specific person regardless of its one of my own or one of the inbuilt ones.
try taking out of the folder you put them in & making folders like I suggested & then try it & report your findings.
Nope no difference. I still can not assign any alternative ringtone to an individual.
I can see the list and select anything, it plays and then soon as I hit ok, it goes back to the contact details and shows as default.
hmm that's odd. I don't know what to tell you. If someone else doesn't come up with a solution you may want to try a hard reset
have you rebooted since moving the files? Just a though.

Yep a soft rest was the first thing I did.
No biggie for now I'll keep digging around and see if I can figure it out, if not hard rest.
cheers guys
my custom ringtones are in a folder called "media" on the root of my sd card. with four folders inside notifications, ui, ringtones, and alarms. I have a separate default ringtone for calls then I have multiple contacts with different ringtones and my text app and gmail app both have separate ringtones. I have had no issues...
Use your Music app v3.0.211... to do it !
It has a colored note as an icon.
Lately, i have had my custom ringtones and notifications reset to unknown whenever I plug in USB for file transfers. They are mp3's and on sd card. Can I just put them in their respective folders under /system/media/audio/......? Do I need to convert them to .ogg like the rest of the files in those folders? Do permissions need to be set if I move them?
There any way to get new ringtones and notifications without root, tried with root explorer but obviously did not want to root my S7
Apk or other solution to get the ringtones and notifications in the media folder
Thank you for any help
You should be able to copy them there via a computer, it is what I did earlier today.
Ringtones & Notifications have folders setup already, just the same as alerts/alarms too, although I have seen some apps can not use some locations - generally ringtones and say sms notice is fine.
I solved
I created a folder named ringtones on external sd card and put my ringtones ... Rebbot my phone et voila, no need root to do this
so simple
Thanks
It's better to put those folders on internal storage than an external SD. Prior versions of Android, at least, would sometimes lose track of sounds stored on external storage and revert to the default sounds.
I have copied over the appropriate .wav, .mp3 and .ogg files into every folder I can think of to get the sounds I'm used to for apps like messenger, email, calendar, etc. I've put them in the notifications, alarms and ringtones folders. As such I actually see 3 entries for the same sound when, for instance, I go to set the default ringtone, or 2 entries when I go to set the 'default notification sound'.
HOWEVER, I cannot seem to get these to appear in the IN APP list of available sounds for notifications in the built-in mail app, calendar app, etc. It's still the stock list that came with the phone.
Any help here?
Thanks,
