Ok. Am I the only one here who thinks that the ring tones and alerts on this phone are terrible!?! Let's get a general thread going with your favorite ring tones and alerts. Don't post full songs either, OC is encouraged.

You aren't the only one. The alarms included are a joke. I don't use ring tones and haven't listened....but there is no alarm included capable of waking any normal person up.

I have the OG "DROID" ring tones for notifications. A custom tears don't fall ring tone for calls and my alarm. I'm a heavy sleeper and it has no problem waking me up

You are so right about the terrible ring tones on this phone. The sad thing is it sounds like the were really trying but all of them are kind of embarrassing to use. I installed Zedge of the play store and got some decent sounds.
I like the old Ma Bell ringer from my Droid Incredible as a default ringtone, but have otherwise enjoyed the other "nature-inspired" sounds on this Galaxy S III. A large bell sounds for my primary email account, a distinct whistle lets me know when new messages arrive and a small triangle-like sound is used for general notifications (i.e., not usually time-dependent). I'm using the guitar riff for my default ringtone, but may add the old Ma Bell tone for that, otherwise my standard custom ringtones are in use for different callers (e.g., "We Are Family" snippet for family members, etc.)

I just Googled for stock ICS or JB sounds in a flash-able zip. I used it while on the stock rooted TW ROM.
Here is the copy from my DB:

Beware! It will flash over bootanimation.zip. I highly recommend you pull the files from the zip yourself!

here is a zip file with all tones from all builds of android. Is 78mb. Unzip on computer and transfer the folder to media on sd card. I can't remember if I removed some of the duplicates in this folder or not. Let me know and I'll clean it up. http://db.tt/Im2DhIeq

Haha, that's a first.
I'm using the Darksiders puzzle completion sound for text messages, one of the random notification noises from another version of Android (Simple Low, I think), and the Gmail Notifier sound for emails.
Guess it was the app cuz I just saw few other threads and other people did it too. Usually the app with say I can't post in so many seconds or something
I use all r2d2

I have no idea. I did a Google because i wanted the tweeters one and this zip file is what i found
---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------
Also, like i said i can't remember if this is the one i cleaned up or not but if you have duplicate sounds in your menu just hook up the phone to usb, go to your menu like gonna set a new tone and then open internal storage folder on computer so can go down list and delete doubles. Ummm..if you just open ringtones from computer that's only one will have to clean. And let me know so can clean it up on mine end so others don't have to. When i downloaded it the instructions said to only transfer the ogg files but i did the mp3 ones also because wanted r2d2. Those will say might not play on device but they do on mine and i have the gnex. I think those are what cause some duplicates. And the alarms are so annoying you get out of bed

I so love Zedge. For my text messages I use the mario coin or an old skool car alarm (getting disarmed). My email notification is the AOL's classic You've Got Mail. My favorite... my phone ringing is the modem sound (no dial-up on the beginning).
For my wife, she a district attorney so I gave her the Law and order (dun dun).
where can I find viber ringtone??

I recently rooted my G1 and installed the JF1.41 RC33 lite update, and now my notification sound does not play when I receive a text message (but it works for other things, such as gmail).
I am also running the latest version of the Resident Evil Umbrella theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482143&highlight=umbrella) and I didn't test between updating the build and installing the theme, so I'm not sure which it's related to.
I've tried using a default notification tone, as well as one from my SD card using Rings Extended, with no difference. Anyone else have a problem like this?
I think with the lite version there is only one notification or ringtone left in the system thats why you need to create your own ringtones using ringdroid
Yes, there are only three notification tones left on the phone, none of which will actually play when I receive a text message. Same thing with the custom tone I loaded onto my SD card. No matter what I do, I simply do not get a sound when I get a text message.
Hi,
The g1 will read ringtones if the correct folders are on the sd card I think.
Try this:
Make a folder on your sdcard called media
Inside it make audio
Inside audio make alarms, notifications,ringtones and ui.
Then in each of those folders put your ringtones.
oog , mid or mp3.
Reboot your phone now when you go to assign a ringtone the phone will find them.
It works for me.
Post the results.
That did the trick. Thanks!
Hi,
Glad it worked.
An easy to put ringtones into different areas on your phone.
Well, it seems to have stopped working again. Or rather, it now works sporadically. I haven't changed the location, and it does the same thing even if I change it to a default alert, so it has nothing to do with the ringtones themselves. Gah, maybe I should just re-flash...
OK, I think I may have actually just solved it. I checked my processes and the Messaging app was running twice for some reason. I force closed both, re-opened and tested, and BINGO! Sound! =D
Now I just have to figure out why I had two instances of Messaging running in the first place...
If you want the sounds that come with g1 here you go, just put in corresponding folders on sd card.

Great Link! This should be posted in the original G1 files thread if it isnt there already. Good grab.
I have been replacing the ringtones, notifications, system tones in the stock /system/media/audio folder. With HFS and EB, ICS would automatically pick up on the new tones, maybe after one restart, but would ultimately pick them up.
Question is, why doesn't GB pick up on the new sounds in the default folder? All of the files are either .wav or .ogg.
mine always do, don't know what you are doing wrong... I'm about to flash the HFP rom assuming that is what you are talking about??? I'll test it out and see what is going on...

Yea this happened on Weapon G2X also, every ICS I've used has been good to go, and I've been doing the same process; delete /audio from the system folder, then copy/paste the other /audio folder that holds all of the new tones.

Weird, because like I said I've always had this problem with GB ROMS. Thanks for the help though.
On mine (XBoarders Rom) I just created folders named ringtones and notifications on the _External SD and it found them.
android likes to access ringtones by id, and not a filename. so it leads to strange things happening like this (one time a friend of mine moved all his ringtones to his computer, then back. when he booted up his phone all the ringtones were switched around )
just try wiping cache in CWM after changing them around and see if that does the trick.

Copy your custom ringtone mp3 to sdcard/media/audio/ringtones directory. Once the sdcard is scanned for media, the file will appear in your available ringtone list.

I stumbled on this thread/post after searching on the internet. The above solution that you have mentioned did not work for me. I do not have a ringtones folder under sdcard/media/audio directory,just the notifications folder. I copied my ringtones files to this notifications folder and restarted the phone. That did not work. Next I created a ringtone folder under sdcard/media/audio and pasted the tones under this folder.
I restarted the phone again and checked... that also did not work.
Am I missing something here? Please help.

I create my own ringtones in the .ogg format rather than MP3s. Then, I place them in /system/media/audio/ringtones or /system/media/audio/notifications, change permissions to rw-r--r--, change owner and group to 0-root and reboot. It has worked for me every time. I also remove all the existing ringtones and notifications because I never use them, but I don't think that's necessary to make it work.

Personal preference. You like your way, I like mine. It's not all that much work and doesn't really take much time. Also, when my phone is connected to my PC, the ringtones are still usable since they aren't on the SD card.

On my nexus 4 I could create new directories ("Ringtones","Notifications", "Alarms") on my virtual sd card and place tones in there. Then the preference lists for choosing these notification types showed the extra tones.
On the nexus 5 this doesn't seem to happen. Does anyone know of a different way to do this?

I'm getting files show in the preference lists up from /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones - however they're just playing a "bong" noise, not the actual mp3.

Not working for me either on n4, n5, or the n7 with stock Rom. Worked fine when I used aokp.
The only way I can get it to sort of work now is use rings extended then select es file explorer and naturally navigate to the file. Then it plays fine. They just won't show up to preview them the way it normal did.
It does work I put them in the system audio notification ect folder, but I'm trying too avoid messing with system for the first time.

I got it working. Very frustrating. Initially what i did was download all my notifications and such from dropbox directly to my phone and put them in the correct folders. Rebooted ect and it didn't work. I was told to try plugging my phone into the computer and moving the folders and around and back into the right folder. Then I disconnected from computer then they showed up. I wonder if the media scan isn't working unless you unplug USB? IDK, but it works now.
Sounds silly, but try it.

If the device rooted, you can move the files the /system/media/audio/ringtones, notifications etc. folder. Work like charm!

On my Nexus 4 I had my ringtones in /sdcard/Ringtones and that doesn't work with the Nexus 5. I also tried /sdcard/media/Ringtones and that didn't work either. In both cases I even tried rebooting the phone after putting the mp3 files to hopefully trigger a media scan.
So what would the correct location be?
Thanks in advance,

i downloaded it, AirDroided the mp3 to my phone (default is storage/emulated/0) /notifications, and selected it as my Hangouts sms tone...sent an sms to myself, turned off the screen, and bazinga, it works
when you say /sdcard, do you mean you made that directory via pc, or are you referring to ESFileExplorer (or the like) reporting the directory as /sdcard? on Nexii, '/sdcard' just points to storage/emulated/0 [i think it's something called a simlink, but i don't know what that is]
Works for for me... I use ASTRO File Manager
Notification MP3 went into SD Card > Media > Audio > Notification
Ringtone MP3 went into SD CARD > Ringtone

I am referring to the way ES FileExplorer reports it, so /sdcard/Ringtones is in fact /storage/emulated/0/Ringtones.
Could you please try it with putting it into /sdcard/Ringtones as well and see, if Media Storage shows it as a Ringtone.

sorry mate, I'm not doing it again, the result is going to be exactly the same
After some testing I can confirm this on a NON-ROOTED Nexus 5.
You can place notification sound files in either of these two locations, they work equally well. Note that this post, unlike many is typed with care and shows the EXACT path names from root with proper capitalization. I did not try all the bastardizations but case and plural/singular actually matter a lot of times.
/sdcard/Notifications (/storage/emulated/0/Notifications)
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications (/storage/emulated/0/media/audio/notifications)
HOW-EVER-ER...
You must move at least 1 file to the directory from your PC before ANYTHING will show up. It seems, and stands to reason, as others noted that moving from the PC while attached as a media device causes Android to rescan the directories. I did not test if you only need to move 1 file on the whole file system or if you have to do it per directory. But by moving one file out and back FROM THE PC all files in those directories became visible in notification pick lists.
I also rebooted after moving the files around. I probably should have checked before since it may not be necessary. But I am so accustomed to rebooting I forgot to test that.
Hope this clears things up.

hey I got the same problem as you
The ringtone is not being picked default media storage and even it picked in some cases im getting the bong sound
so here is the work around
dont use the media storage as default ringtone picker .if you already did that ..go to settings->apps->all apps->media storage and clear defaults of it
then go to settings ->sounds->ringtone and use esfile explorer in this case ..select the ringtone you got using the file browser then it works
another file manager
as said some posts before i suggest to use another file manager than the stock one, it worked for me
I pluged the phone into the computer USB. Cpoied the ringtone of my choice to the ringtone folder. Did the same with the notification ringtone. Go and select the file in Settings...Sound. Mine were .ogg files
Once you install the sound files in the various locations on the sdcard, such as /sdcard/Ringtones, you can update media storage by doing either of the following:
Go to settings -> apps -> all -> media storage and clear data, then reboot
Or
Use the app ScanMedia to update
My first Nexus here..I searched how to do the last paragraph here but still nothing shows under settings then sound to select from my own tone?
It is advised to create 2 folders on your internal storage called 'ringtones' and 'notifications' if they are not yet present. Then drop your sound files in either the ringtones or notifications folder and they should become selectable when picking a new sound.
They are there already and I have stuff in them

2) Media scanner hasnt picked them up yet
ohh....I put my mp3 under Computer\Nexus 5\Internal storage\media\audio "wrong" now they are under Computer\Nexus 5\Internal storage\media and I put tones and notifications properly in each folder. Odd...I see a default folder called Ringtone with some hangout ogg files I can't just put my tones and notifications in them and the Nexus see them there?
-My phone isn't a T-Mobile phone is there is an easier way then the above?

I was surprized all the same. It never finds it there. Since I installed
total commander, I could choose the ringtone using it.
To make it clear: what directories on the phone one should make
(ringtones, notifications) and where they should be found?
Best regards.
You can create them anywhere. Root of sdcard or in sdcard/audio or wherever you want.
