is there a way to use custom alert sounds?
i have a WAV file i've used on every phone i've ever had.
I don't know about the file type, but you can make a folder named notifications and put your file in there. If the file type works, it should pop up

In this post: http://www.androidforums.com/t-mobile-g1/1757-can-you-set-music-youve-uploaded-ringtone-texts.html They claim that if you add a folder called "notifications" on the root of your device, then any supported media file will be available to select. Try this and let us know if it works, sounds interesting.
that was exactly it.
put the notifications folder in /sdcard/ and it shows up in the list of notifications
awesome. thanks!

I've got a few .mp3's that I used on my GS2 for ringtones and notification sounds. I can go into my contacts and assign unique ringtones from my Music library but I can't get the standard ringtone and notification sounds to change, these mp3 files don't show in their respective list.
I have them on my internal sd and even copied them to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications with no luck. What am I missing?

yes its that .ogg format that stops it from popping up in your list of tones......i still have not figured a way to convert to that yet. doesnt look hard though.
should just be a simple converter program and your done, i want to look into this as well so i will keep you posted if i find an easy way to do so....i already tried the obvious change the extention with no luck
I took mine and put them in the "system/media/audio/ringtones". Left the .mp3 and worked great. Hope this helps.
I just have my ringtones (in .mp3) in /sdcard/Ringtones and they show up for default ringtones.
I noticed it showed up after it "scanned for media" but I did this before I rooted and I froze whatever was scanning so that might be something to consider.

At first it didn't work but then I figured I might have to do a reboot and that did the trick. Weird that before I didn't have to move them into those directories but that's perfectly fine with me. Appreciate it.

SO now you can change the notification ringtone? Because i have Zedge app and have some tones that i hav set up through setting and put as notification ringtone but it still don't change it will whistle everywhere!
If putting the file in media works then i will be fine!
I've found that if you put your ringtones in a folder called "Ringtones" and your notification sounds in a folder called "Notifications" (in /sdcard or /sdcard/external_sd) the phone will allow you to use them for their appropriate purposes. No reboot should be needed either.
You can of course push them into /system/media... if you want though
Hello,
i can change my ringtone easily but i don't find how i can change my message tone in a ringtone i've downloaded (an mp3 file).

Notification sound is what you want
Sent from my Desire S using XDA
oke i found it, now i see default notification, message, calendar and email. But now i'm stuck, i don't find how to use a personal sound. All the sounds are from HTC and when i click get more i'm automatically redirected to "notifications from htc hub".
grtz and thanks for the reply
Dude...
Use a file explorer, navigate to your sound files location, long press it and select "use as notification" or something like that. From now on it will be also in your sound list (personalize etc...)

Use file explorer with root and copy the mp3 you want to system/media/audio/notifications reboot the phone and you will see that your copied file is now there to be selected under default notifications/messages .

Thanks Aggror, I did that, but for some reason they still won't show. To set any of these, I had to open them in SE File Explorer use the "Set as Ringtone/Notification sound" option.

They should. They did properly in mine. Dunno what's the problem.
Wait....are these files flashable? Or do I have to extract them?

Hi,
can you refresh the link for the ringtones - the target has moved or been deleted. Thanks
Also can someone give file location for notification sounds and for ringtones in kitkat 4.4.2
Where can I copy the sounds to. I can't find the notifications folder for sounds on the phone.
Thanks
Ringtones link not working. Plz Update.
I have been trying to add some of the old sounds/notifications to my A32. When I add the sounds (ogg format) to ringtones, etc folders they don't show up as an option for selection. (probably because the phone is not rooted). With Solid Explorer I can Select the sound I want but it never sticks. I still get system sounds. Nothing seems to allow me to add my own custom sounds
Any help greatly appreciated
Use mp3 or wav..not ogg. Android devices never need root for custom sounds/nofication sounds

Unfortunately that does not work. I change ogg to mp3 or wav and place the files in the ringtone, notifications, etc folders. But I cannot apply those sounds

Did you convert the files or just change the file name? You need to convert the files.

Are you placing them in the correct ringtone and notification folders in the file browser? Make sure your doing on the internal storage and not the SD card.

Yes the files are in the folders in internal memory, not SD card. When attempting to select the sound I am asked which app to use. solid explorer or media selector. If I chose solid explorer I can navigate to the folder and select the sound but it does not stick. If I use media selector then the sound does not appear in the list. I have rebooted after adding the sound just in case

When I open settings and check which sound is assigned to which notification I see the name of the sound I chose. But when, for example an email arrives, I get some system sound, like the Samsung whistle, not the sound I selected

wich firmware are you using?
Android 11. Samsung One UI 3.1 over the top
All straight out of the box. No mods
I added a cut mp3 (from a song) notification sound to the phone only to find out it wasn't the tone I thought it was. How do I remove it? There doesn't seem to be a way at least from the notification sounds screen.
Go to the Notifications folder on your internal storage and delete the file.
Strange, but it's not in that folder. I can't locate it
You could try the Ringtones folder, although I wouldn't expect it to be there. If that's not where, then I don't know where else to suggest.
If you remember the name of it you could search for it in a file explorer.
Check the internal storage folder Android/media/com.google.android.soundpicker
The "problem" as such is that you can run a ringtone/notification sound from any folder. So you need to remember what folder you placed it in, or do a search on the name, or a *."extension type" to find all of them and delete the one you no longer want.

I found it and another notification/ringtone in that exact location. I have the choice to permanently delete the file. If I delete it, will it delete solely from just that folder, or will it delete from the phone and my music list too?

Yes. it will only delete from that folder, as long as you use a file manager to delete it, and not the sound picker
