Is it possible to add more ringtones to the stock alarm clock?
Original Moto X on AT&T running stock 4.4.4 firmware:
I've started using my phone as my alarm clock and I'd like a bigger selection of ringtones. I've placed a bunch of .ogg files in both the /Ringtones and the /Notifications folders. They can be selected when choosing the phone ringtone, but I still only have a half dozen stock sounds in the Alarm Clock selection.
Using a third party alarm clock, I can select all the ring tones I put on.
I know I can just use the third party app, but I'd rather stick with the stock app since it works well with daydream.

Yup, it's possible. Download ES explorer or an equivalent file manager.
Now , when you try and set the ring tone for your alarm clock, it will prompt you to choose which application you want to "Complete action with"
Using media storage will let you set the stock ringtones. Using your file manager, you can navigate to the song of your choice and set it .
If the prompt for "complete action with" does not show up, in the "all" section of your applications list , clear the defaults in the "media storage" application.

is it possible to change the default clock alarm tones and change the open/close tones. if so where do you put the mp3.
Yes, it is.
Try WAV files.
Change alarm tone to telephone ringer tone
On my old WM5 PPC phone I could set the alarm to be any of the telepone ringer tones (made for a great loud and sometimes annoying alarm clock).
There are a couple specific tones that I would like to use.
They are located in the \Windows\Rings and \Windows directories as .wav files.
However there must be another list or folder that I am unaware of that contains the displayed clock alarm tones.
Does anyone know where to find this list or folder?
Thanks!
Hi,
how do I change the default alarm ringtone in android?
i searched all over and came up empty
Thx for the help
Go into the alarm clock app, open up the alarm you want to edit, and there's an option for Ringtone right there.
I know that.
but I want to chage the default ringtone so I wont have to change maually for echo alarm
Don't believe there's a way to change the default.
ok, there is no way to change from the application itself but...
you can set in the build.prop the value for it
ro.config.alarm_sound=<YOUR_ALARM_SOUND>.mp3
i haven't tested it yet but that should work w/o problems (as long as you point it to the right mp3, and remember unix is CasE sEnIitiVe system)
also, if you at it, here some extra settings for ringtones:
ro.config.ringtone=Magic_Moments.mp3
ro.config.notification_sound=Friendly.mp3
ro.config.alarm_sound=Reckoining_Song.mp3
ro.config.cal_notification=Friendly.mp3
ro.config.msg_notification=Friendly.mp3
what is "cal_notification"?

im trying to change the notification tone on my i9000. I have copied the .ogg file i want from my i9300 and placed it in two places on my i9000 internal sd card - /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Music and also /mnt/sdcard/Bluetooth, but when i open the file, and click 'Set As' it only lets me set it as the phone ringtone, caller ringtone or alarm tone, and not the notification tone?
when i go to my settings, then soud settings, then notification tone, it doesnt let me choose a folder to select the notification sound from, and just the standard i9000 ones.
how can i set a custom audio file as the default notification tone for all apps?
try putting the file in system/app/media/audio/notification and then the permission...then reboot and try...

There is an app called zedge (free) that you can download all your favorite ringtones and backgrounds from then just simply choose them from the sound section of your settings section.

Try root explorer or another app with permission and copy the file to system/media/audio/ringtones then set permision to rw-r--r--,save it and then go to setting and choose your ringtone.

I am able to set it as ringtone or SMS tone, in the settings, but in the settings for notification tone the option simply isn't there. Even if I put the file in the notifications folder with file explorer it isn't given as an option

Try using 3rd party app. I personally use Ringtone Setter, which bypasses system's limitations.

Yea I have done that now. It's just strange that on the ringtone and SMS tone settings there is an option at the top of the list to use"local ring tone", but on notification tone that option is absent. The option does appear when you use a third party app to set the tone and then go back in to the notification tone settings, but it is greyed out, so it still says "use local ring tone" and shows the new tone as selected, but as it is greyed out you still can't modify it in the settings like you can with SMS tone and ringtone. Probably just a bug, I can't imagine any reason for into be like that by design.
I use Solid Explorer to copy notification tone mp3 to system/media/audio/notifications(must be rooted) rename ext to .ogg (not sure if this is necessary) change attributes to Group and Global (-rw-r--r--) reboot and your good to go!
