Custom Ringtones for the alarm clock - Samsung Gear S3

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!

Alarm Clock

Yes I did found a way and set it to a Metal Gear Solid call ringtone. It's in the app on your phone.
See photos please, hope it's helpful

I can't see how that is setting a song to the alarm sound.

How did you add (push to the phone) the additional ringtones so you had the option of choosing MGS?

Go in your wear app on your phone and choose these settings as shown in the pictures
I used zedge to download the ringtones. Search for zedge on the playstore

Do we have to shorten the .mp3 file to a certain size? can it be an .ogg file?

In my case I used Zedge, main thing is that you got a preferred mp3 file and send it to your phone as described

And when you send it from zedge to phone, it appears in your list of ringtones?

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...
Path seems:

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.

Custom message tones

Hi, is it possible to use a custom message tone as I don't like the ones that come with the phone.
My phone is standard, i.e not rooted.
I have tried adding mp3 and .m4a files into the music and notification folders but I am having no joy.
Cheers

Should be able to add mp3 to notification folder then reboot and they will appear (often at the bottom of the list).

Thanks Aggror, I did that, but for some reason they still won't show. To set any of these, I had to open them in SE File Explorer use the "Set as Ringtone/Notification sound" option.

They should. They did properly in mine. Dunno what's the problem.
Wait....are these files flashable? Or do I have to extract them?

Hi,
can you refresh the link for the ringtones - the target has moved or been deleted. Thanks
Also can someone give file location for notification sounds and for ringtones in kitkat 4.4.2
Where can I copy the sounds to. I can't find the notifications folder for sounds on the phone.
Thanks
Ringtones link not working. Plz Update.

Ringtones showing up in Google music!

This is driving me crazy. Does anyone know how to get rid of the ringtones from Google music without deleting the files from my phone?? Thanks

In my experience, Android always ignored the Ringtones and Notifications folders as music. Maybe you just need to refresh Google Music. Go into the setting and try syncing it

Most of them are mp3 or wav. Just tried ogg to no avail. I moved them all back to ringtones from notifications and it actually shows more now...

if you have root, move them to /system/media/
Create a empty file with name ".nomedia" in the same folder as ringtones. It will be not shown in play music

To be more specific, its system/media/audio/notifications and system/media/audio/ringtones. And if you put them in there, I believe they NEED to be .ogg files. Change the permissions to match the others in those folders and reboot.
That is the ticket. Change the permissions.

I just go into play music and select "not interested" on the ringtones, and it takes them right out.

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

When I open settings and check which sound is assigned to which notification I see the name of the sound I chose. But when, for example an email arrives, I get some system sound, like the Samsung whistle, not the sound I selected
