[SM-J701M] Cannot Use Custom Notification Sounds - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Hi!
I've been having a problem with my Samsung J701M in regards to Notification Sounds. I try to use a custom sound for my Notifications and Ringtone, and the phone doesn't recognize the files at all.
I copy the file to the Notifications and the Ringtones folders in my main storage, but it simply won't recognize the sounds. I tried MP3, OGG, WAV and even MIDI files, and they won't show up in the Sound and vibration section of the Settings.
The only way I've found to use custom sounds is using Zedge, and even then, I can only use sounds they have on their databases, and not in my SD card or main storage.
Is there I way I can make the phone to detect my sound files? Oddly enough, when I try to set the sound through FX File Explorer it shows me an error:
Cannot set alert: file not in media database.

[Q] Custom Ringtones in Mango RTM

Evening,
Just recently installed Mango RTM on my Omnia 7 and unsure how to set custom ringtones.
If I go into system, ringtones + sounds there only choices are the generic ringtones that came preloaded with the phone...
Anyone figured out how to set a MP3 as a ringtone.
Thanks,
On Mango you can do ringtones from *.mp3 and *.wma file by Zune, but you must first:
- take your sounds file for up to 39 seconds,
- this sound file may not occupy more than 1 mb,
- his format is only *.mp3 or *.wma,
- not copy-protected,
and now:
1. copy file to phone by Zune,
2. in collection in the Zune find this file and click him right mouse and click "Edit" - you see context menu same as in the screenshot but in your language,

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. in "Species" (on the screenshot it's "Gatunek") write from big letter "Ringtone" and click "Ok",
4. now only synchronize your phone with your computer and this file should be the first from the top in "Ringtones + sounds".

[TUT] Custom Notification Sounds

Haven't seen any tip here so i just posted one. This is just a small tip how you can add customized Notification sounds on your phone if you are already boring to those default notification sound. This method is very simple and straight forward.
If you explore into your SDCARD you will see folder \media\audio\notifications. From here you can put any mp3 notification sounds, just make sure you have a tag in the mp3 so it will be ready by phone.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download the attached sample file and put in \media\audio\notifications folder
When you go to Settings --> Sounds --> Notifications you should now see the Transformers sound. You can now set it also on SMS settings to change the notification sound.
If anyone find this as a dup, you are free to delete this thread.
great tips,man.
you can just create a folder "notifications" on sdcard, then put some custom notification sounds in it, then reboot, after that you can find your custom sounds when set notification sound.
and sounds on sdcard won't work when the phone is connected with PC and you choose "USB storage" mode......
so i always put my custom notification sounds and ringtones in the rom's zip. "/system/media/audio/ringtones/" & "/system/media/audio/notifications/"

Music app and Freebuds pro - app only lets you apply sound affects to streamed music, not local music files

Has anybody found a workaround for this? My Freebuds pro sounded flat and no matter what affect I selected nothing changed: hit the i button and it says point 2 below. Really annoyed as what’s the point of getting Freebuds pro with the enhanced sound possibilities if you can’t use any of them and I don’t stream music / can’t stream where I work. Has anybody found a workaround to this?

Have you seen the settings (sound effects) on Huawei Histen ??
You must have your headphones turned on.

I don’t have histen installed but have just downloaded it. Is there any way I could remove the music app completely and download an older version where the sound affects could be used on internal files?
From my phone ... Music and Histen.
Thanks but I can’t uninstall the music app on my phone so can’t install this older version.
Installing just Histen doesn't solve your problem ??
