froyostone with sense no ringtones?

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.

New Google music app

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/05/download-new-android-music-play-3-0-336/
Can anyone add lockscreen controls to this apk? Would be sweet. Works great otherwise.

I second this request, The new music 3.0 is amazing on my INC, very fast, no lag and the sound is louder. The dealbreaker was the lack of lockscreen capabilities.
If the guys at cyanogenmod can add album art to their lockscreen music app I'm sure somebody can cook up an apk with lockscreen functionality for this one

Lockscreen controls work fine on CM7 RC4! xD

would pay someone to get basic lock screen controls on this. Is it possible to use the lock screen from the stock player and add it to the new one?
Also when receiving a call the music completely stops and doesn't resume after the call is ended. You have to go back into the app to start the music again. The stock player stops the music, receives the call and once the call is ended the music starts again.

You guys do anything special to make this work? Keeps FCing whenever I launch it.
Running CM7 RC4
Thanks!

Is there any way to filter out ringtones/notification sounds either by file size or folder exclusion? Ringtones getting shuffled in with the music kinda sucks.

Don't have that issue on CM7 RC2, what I always do is make a folder called "ringtones" on my sd card and then put all notifications/ringtones in it. All the system provided ringtones/notifications won't show up by default, it's only the ones you add.

I changed the extensions to .ogg and it doesnt recognize them. Thats the ringtones I created that were previously .mp3.

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

I'm running SkyRaider 3.5 (4.0 soon) and am very interested in downloading that new music player. What stops me is the absence of locksreen controls (according to some posts here).
Does anyone have a solution for that?

[Q] Did something change with regards to ringtones and notification sounds?

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

Custom Ringtones for the alarm clock

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!

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...

Question Adding custom sounds/notifications

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
