I'm new and tried googling and all for this problem. I installed a custom rom (miri) and froyostone android and for some reason I can't select a ring tone or any other sound setting.
My phone calls work fine and all other sounds do to. What is the reason I can't select a ring tone?
I tried to download the media folder and still nothing.
go to the app store and search for free ringtone programs. install one and pick a ringtone and it should let you pick it then.

Didn't work.
If I go to sound settings, click on phone ringtone, there's nothing there. I can't select anything either.

Yea, I got the 1 ringtone I downloaded to show, just not the others. I will try the other option. I'll post back.
sorry, I don't play much with android. Looks too much like ios to me and didn't really have any advantages for what I use the phone for everyday.
That second option did it. I read you had to put the media folder in the root. I didn't know it meant the root of android folder. Thanks for the help. It's much appreciated.
its a folder titled media that you have to put in the android folder when you start it up.

As above, I can get sounds to work for ring tones and notifications, but after a couple hours, they stop working. Anyone else or any thoughts? Maybe g2x isn't supported by this app yet like tango?
Funny cause mine work. I downloaded Zedge last night (first time user) and downloaded a bunch of images and notification tones.
I set my background and notification tones up and they are working great. Maybe use a File explorer to find the actual downloaded files and move them to the proper folders so they appear in the stock settings selector. I think they go in SDCARD/ringtones.

Thanks, I'll try again. Did your set them as default tones in zedge or through settings-sound-etc?
Gotta set them through Zedge.
When I originally installed it, and went to Settings-Sound and clicked on the dropdown box, I had a popup to choose with program to use Zedge or Android. Out of habit I chose Remember Android, which the stock list won't display Zedge tunes.
So just set them through the actual Zedge app once you download them.
I nevr set mine thru zedge and all my ringtones and notifications work fine....
sent from my G2X with no regrets
Seems to be working fine for now. Maybe just a factory Rom gremlin or something. /shrug
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.

That actually sounds right. I forgot to do that this time around but the above option worked fine as well. Good call...

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

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...)
Sent by my fingers to your head.
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 .

we've all been there, Glad you got it, it seems that different Roms have different ways of doing this
Hi, is it possible to use a custom message tone as I don't like the ones that come with the phone.
My phone is standard, i.e not rooted.
I have tried adding mp3 and .m4a files into the music and notification folders but I am having no joy.
Cheers

Should be able to add mp3 to notification folder then reboot and they will appear (often at the bottom of the list).

Is there any way to set the sound of the alarm clock to a custom mp3?
I've transfered a song from my Galaxy S6 to the Gear S3 and tried to set up the mp3 as the sound for the alarm but it didn't worked!

There is an app on the market for $1 that lets you put costome ringtones
And whats the name of this app?
This is it just in the search
Custom Ringtone for all Gear S3 models and Gear S2 3G/LTE.
Guide:
1. Install the phone side app.
2. Kill the gear app if it is minimized.
3. Tap the first button inside the phone side app.
4. If connects successfully, you will see the waiting for file screen on the watch.
5. Pick the mp3 file on your phone.
6. Transfer complete. You can swipe to the right to set it as ringtone. Swipe to the left to delete unwanted files.
Okay, thanks!
Alarm Clock
Hi,
I bought this app, but it doesn't work for the Alarm clock!
Any suggestion?

In my case I used Zedge, main thing is that you got a preferred mp3 file and send it to your phone as described

Should be in a folder called music as shown in the latest picture. But that difference comes with each phone or file manager
Another thread that goes on for pages without answering the question:
This is not about sending an mp3 file to your watch or setting a RINGTONE. Both are options readily available on the app menu.
This is rather about ALARM. Setting a custom mp3 sound for the alarm on the watch.
When it comes to alarm sound and I am repeating alarm here a couple of times, there are no Alarm custom sounds aside from the Samsung ones.
How does one get custom mp3 for the.....Alarm.
Is somebody able to identify paths for Alarm sound in Firmware Files?
I mean by unpacking Odin files and search...
Thanx in advance.
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Short looked into rootfs.img from CQL1...
*.mp3
Only 3 or 5 files...
But if I search for *.ogg... then many files...
Path seems:
