I have three folders full of ringtones notifications and alarms gathered from pretty much every device. I put the ringtones folder on my SD card and it works fine and I could select ringtones through the sound options. I tried the same with the notifications folder and didn't have any luck. I am rooted and have Root Browser so I then tried copying the folder to the system /media./notification. Part of the phone. I fixed permissions and still no luck. Anyone have any ideas on how to get my own notifications selectable through the sound options. With my droid razr I just made folders on SD card and ringtones notifications and alarms all work. Like I stated the ringtones works like this but no luck with notifications and I have yet to try alarms

im transfering my ringtones from my bold to my captivate and it states that i cant use anything above 300k, as most of my ringtones are above 300k. Is there anyway to get around this? Thanks. Also is there a way to set said ringtone as the DEFAULT ringtone besides using the stock sounds that samsung provides? please advise.
i used MP3s for my ring tones and they are 3-5 megs with no issues.
what you have do is sync to your computer and create a folder in the root directory of the SD card (/sdcard/) that's labeled ringtones.
i copied my MP3s there and they showed up in the list of available ring tones.
you may be able to do it right from the file browser on the phone, but i don't know how to do that yet. just got the phone yesterday.
now to figure out how to get custom txt message noises.

Get Rings Extended
I actually own a Captivate, and the only way I was able to get around the limit was to install the free Rings Extended app. I had already put my full-length ringtones in the /media/audio/ringtones folder on the phone's internal memory, after trying to just have the ringtones folder on the root of my SD card to no avail, and it didn't work.
In order to get Rings Extended to work (it doesn't have an icon on the app list), go to Settings, Sound and Display, Voice Call Ringtone, check the set default box, and choose Rings Extended to manage ringtone selection. You can then change your phone's ringtone to something larger. To set ringtones per person, just go to your Contacts list and do it as normal. Rings Extended will pop up to allow you to choose longer ones.
So on 4.3 on my N4, all I had to do was put an mp3 in the alarms folder and do a reboot. After that, it would show up in the alarm notification menu when setting a new alarm.
For some reason, on my N5 it won't show up. I've tried putting it in the Alarms folder, in the Ringtones folder and in my Zedge folder, but it still will not show up in the menu selection for alarm sounds.
Any ideas?
bump
Ok, I need a little help, as this problem has me stumped.
I wanted to set a custom notification sound, so I copied 2 new mp3 files to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications. Normally this should allow me to select those sounds as notification sounds from the sound settings, but this time it didn't work (I have done it successfully before). I then proceeded to open the files in ES File Explorer, selected Play and Set as Ringtone, Notification Tone. That worked and the sound was set as the default notification tone. BUT, here's the kicker, when I now go to settings - Sound - Notification Sound, on the screen where you can set the Default notification, Messages, Calendar, Mail and Notice, I am no longer able to select any tones for each of these categories. When I go into Default notification, where I used to get a list of notification sounds, there is no list anymore, and the Apply button is greyed out. Same with the other notification categories.
I've tried selecting a different notification sound through ES File Explorer, and that changed the Default again, but I still can't get a list to load in the settings screen. I've already tried clearing data and defaults for the ES File Explorer, Music and Android System under Apps in settings, but that didn't fix it either. I've rebooted just to make sure it wouldn't correct itself, no luck. I'm stuck. I would like to have the ability again to set these different categories of notification sounds. Can anyone help?
I ended up restoring a backup to fix this issue. Problem solved.
I have a number of custom ringtones/notification sounds in the internal SD all this time. Suddenly, I am unable to see them in this list to set custom ringtones and notification sounds. The Z3 can't see them for some reason.... not so sure why.
The notification sounds are in the notification folder while ringtones are in the ringtones folders. Nothing has changed. I have confirmed that those custom ringtones are still in the internal SD (in the notification and ringtone folders respectively!) via the file manager.
Rebooting the phone doesn't help.
Even using ringtone apps like Ringtone Maker .. I am unable to see any of the files and set them accordingly. I could do it before. The only way I can see the ringtones/notification is when I use the Browse option in the app... then I can locate them.
Thanks for reading.
First OnePlus device. Trying to get everything setup. I've copied all my Notification tones to the Notification folder and ringtones to Ringtones etc but when I go into the device notification sounds not everything is showing up. Some of my sounds are but not all. I've tried system notification sounds and notification sounds from individual apps
I've been searching OnePlus site and here. Only thing I can think of is it's b/c they're .wav files?? every other android phone I've used has worked with them
Yup. wav files are a nogo. sorry. disregard
