If you put your ringtonesin a folder called ringtones on your SD you should be able to select them from your selection menu whether its a phone ringtones selection or its a contact ringtones selection

So i seen a registry key where to edit but did not work how i would like.
I have a 16 gb sd card in my mw700 and want to use that to hold the default ringtone folder. When i changed the registy it did save changes but when i go to set a mp3 ring tone it copys it to the my doc/ringtone folder on device memory. I want to use a folder on my sd card. Any idea what i need to change for that to happen?
Like in topic, how can I change it, I know how to change calling ringtone, but dont know how to do the same with sms, any clue ?
Go to the settings tab>sound and display>notification sounds
there you can change it...

Put mp3 into "My Documents\My Ringtones" for RingTone
Put mp3 into "My Documents\" for SMS Tone
Cheers.
you can also just put the mp3s onto the root folder of your sd card, then you can choose those mp3s as ringtones in sound & display...

What I meant is how to change sms ringtone as mp3, but you were first with an answer thanks
Copy *.mp3 into folder Windows\ ...............!
Can you add your own notification sounds, and if so, where do they go ?
And what format ?
Thanks .......
Nevermind, found it ........
I'm in the same boat. I know where the menu option is for changing notifications, but none of my personal audio files are on the list. I do have mp3s and wavs in a "ringtones" directory of the sd and they do show up as choices for changing ringtones but not notifications.
If you "found it" can you please post the location and format information for notification tones.

Personalizing notification tones for specific applications is usually done through the application. For example; if you want a different notification for text messages then go to your text messaging application and use the menu to change options within the application.
You can go as far as to set a different notification for each email account. You must go to the desired account and access the settings menu for that specific account. From there you can change the notification sound.
Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification ringtone
These can be in mp3 format. I personally use the Ringdroid app to create them.
if you're asking where the files should be placed on your phone, I put all mine in "/sdcard/media/audio" and there are specific spots for "alarms" "notifications" and "ringtones"

Thank you so much, i wasnt has that path on my phone, so i´ve create it now and i really have my custom tones on my notification menu sounds.
I dont know if this has been posted before, If it has then my bad I just thought of this method.
1st. Go on the market and download a free app called " Zedge "
2nd. Open Zedge and select " Notifacation Sounds "
3rd. Select a random one because we are going to replace it. (I selected Law And Order) you will see a arrow down near the bottom press that and it will download
4th. Close Zedge and connect usb to computer " Mass Storage "
5th. Navigate to " zedge\notification_sounds "
6th. In the folder you should see a mp3 file, in my case its called "Law And Order_1.mp3" Depending on what tone u downloaded on zedge your file name might be different.
7th. Now copy the file name in " zedge\notification_sounds " and replace the name of the mp3 you made with the name of the mp3 in " zedge\notification_sounds ".
EXAMPLE: Txt tone.mp3 changed to Law And Order_1.mp3
8th. Drag and drop the tone u just renamed into " zedge\notification_sounds "
Select Copy/Replace
9th. Disconnect the phone and go into Settings/Sounds/Notification ringtone
10th. When you select Notification ringtones you will get a pop up saying Android System or Zedge ringtones. Choose Zedge ringtones
DO NOT CHECK "Use by default for this action"
11th. Lastly select the file name and press "Set Ringtone"
In my case I selected "Law And Order"
I usually just place whatever sound file I want on the internal SD in an existing folder called Media> Audio> Ringtones (or Notifications). Then it will always show up in Settings> Sounds> Phone Ringtone.
Or am I missing something?
I use handcent sms, Like zedge it gives you the option to choose it in settings/sounds/ringtones or notification, with that you can choose music anywhere on your phone, it's all there in one list, no file swapping.
Zedge is actually easier to use than that.
After you find the one you want, tap on his and there will be a down arrow (download). Once downloaded, the arrow turns into a cicle which you can tap on to set as w/e you like. Same process for the wallpaper

Yes, that is if you want to use the sound you actually downloaded, the post is about swapping out the sound to something else...

I didnt know about that method, my phone never created those folders. But I just tested that and it worked so thats a better method then going threw zedge. Nice find

You know what- I never thought about it until now that you mentioned it...I think the file was a remnant of an old backup I did to the EXT SD one time and it never got cleaned out. Funny that it was accidental find.
That explains why I was having dupe ringtone issues a while back. *facepalm* lol
I'm pretty sure stock ROMs (at least Eclair) don't let you change the text tone for yourself. I remember looking a few thousand times to no avail before I flashed Andromeda. From then on, I've been able to use any tone on my SD card.
I use Whoisit for the same thing, an all around great ringtone manager that sets a different tone for each persons sms, mms, email, and call plus VIP section so set people will ring through even if the phone is on silent. Not to mention it covers FB status, Scheduling profiles, wifi on of with profile. plus setting the stock ringtones and notifications to anything you want.
Hey where are the hidden system ring tones? I want to put some tunes in there and I cant find them. PS Im not rooted (uggh) and I know I can make a folder and put them in there BUT I made the stupid mistake of selecting "always" when the choice came up to select from system or music and now it only lets me select SYSTEM ringtones (I lost option of where I wanted to select from)... So anyone know how I can get selection back or find the hidden system ringtones? Thanks
