I'm trying to find the stock ringtones and notifications files but can't seem to locate them. Any hints on where they might be?

the stock ringtones are located in system/media/audio
and then have the folders for alarms, notifications, ringtones and UI!
remember you have to give root permissions to acess them via root explorer!

Place your ringtone in one of the following folders:
<root> /System/media/audio/ringtones
-OR-
internal SDcard/media/audio/ringtones (you might have to create this directory)

I also want to find the ringtone location so I can copy some ringtones I like from one phone to another. I can't find that location you put there. In my "Android" folder, there is no "system" folder.

The phone that you want to take the ringtone must be rooted. If it's rooted use an app like Root Explorer and go to the root folder (/). There you will find /system.

You can open the rom that you have downloaded using winrar application and navigate to that location.
Each phone is a different ringtone location, but my phone is:settings / sound / phone ringtones
Hi,
I recently updated my Sensation to newest ARHD (7.0) without wipe and my ringtones and music is gone. Also for many of apps if I open them, I'm getting FC, but in this case if I delete data for that app, the problem is gone, but I don't know what I should do in case of lost ringtones and music? When I'm trying to select ringtone all I got is empty list.

Unzip the attachment and copy and paste it into system folder in the root of your phone. And try to set the ringtone again from setting. See what will happen.

There was other problem. The sound files were present, but system couldn't see them, but I've fixed this and other problems by fixing permissions via recovery.
But thanks anyway!
Hey, on my G2, I had a zip I flashed that put just about every devices ringtone and notification on my phone. Can someone figure out how we can get that zip on here without recovery. Or if it's amazingly simple, and I'm just stupid , be nice and explain...thanks

Can you give the link to that zip file.
Maybe you need to put those ringtone/notification in system/media/audio and in their respective folder.
There is a tethered recovery that you can use to flash it with. I had a similar thing with my S3, had my own sound pack that I flashed with recovery. Tried on my G3 with the tethered recovery and works fine.
Create the following folders on you sdcard "Ringtones" "Notifications". Whatever sounds you put into these folders will show up in the respective list when you try to select the ringtone or notification. As for your flashable zip, just open it with a file editor, search for the folders containing the notification sounds, ringtones and copy them into the folders you just created on your sdcard. This way you don't need root and won't mess up anything in the system folder by accident.

Completely spot-on. Personally I always copy them manually to /system/media but your solution also works fine (don't forget to reboot though, before additional questions will be asked ).
Thank you gentleman
Hello,
I've been searching through the forums but I cannot find anyone with the same problem as me, here it goes:
I copied a mp3 file onto the ringtones folder, and then I can select it to be used as my ringtone. As I do not want to listen this when I'm listening music, I've aded a .nomedia file to the ringtones folder. Then, the Play Music app does not shows anymore this ringtone. This is what I expected.
Later, when I've received a call, the ringtone I've selected did not sound, instead the phone ringed with the standard "Triton" ringtone. Went to sound settings, and my custom ringtone is not there.
Removing the .nomedia file from the "Ringtones" folder, makes the custom ringtone appear again on "ringtone selection" options.
I did this many times on my old Galaxy Nexus phone without troubles, but It's not working on my N5, Do you know if this is a common issue, or I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks!
Try an .ogg instead. If that doesn't work, move the .ogg to /system/media/audio/ringtones

I've added .ogg file at Ringtones on "sdcard", and did not show.
The next thing was copy the file to /system/media/audio/ringtones with es file explorer and restarted the phone before checking. No luck neither.
Removing the .nomedia file from the "sdcard" folder, I can select the ringtone again at settings. Seems that somehow the .nomedia is also read by "settings"

.nomedia is global. Put it in a folder and android assumes no media.

Not sure if this matters, but did you check permissions?

Thanks for the info, I think I was using this on my old galaxy nexus and worked as I wanted, but all the clues point to what you said.

Put the .nomedia in the media (/sdcard/media/) folder instead of ringtones (/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/) folder. It should work

It is not working...
