FAQ Lollipop Ringtones
Q : I already change default ringtones with custom ringtones but after reboot the ringtones error and cannot play
A : Because your custom ringtones placed outside Internal Memory or inside /system/media
Q : I have already placed custom ringtones in Internal Memory but after reboot the ringtones error and cannot play

Hello,
can anybody tell me how i can add sounds to "the normaly alarm clock" or "Alarming 2.1.2".
I have the [ROM] CyanogenMod and only one sound *buzzer alarm* in the list.
Thanks for Helps.

Simply create a folder structure like that on your SD card:
/audio/alarms
or
/media/audio/alarms
Then copy your alarm sounds (preferably in the ogg Vorbis format) into the "alarms" folder, reboot and you should have additional alarm sounds.
Alternatively you can copy your alarm files to /system/media/audio/alarms.
On your sdcard make the following
Media
In that make
audio
In that make
Ui, notifications,ringtones,alarms.
The download the resources.zip in the cyanogen thread and copy the ones you want to their proper folder
Or use a media2sd script.
So I've got a handful of audio files I need to copy to /system/media/audio/notifications and /system/media/audio/ringtones every time I flash a new ROM (even upgrade).
I do this since I often have my SD card mounted (car/desk/etc), and if I do, I get the terrible system beep ringtone/notification, since my N1 can't find the configured sound file.
How would I go about creating a flashable zip that would install those files to the correct location, rather than doing it manually each time?
I've made a similar flashable zip.
Here is what I did. Took a ROM zip file. Made a copy. Opened the *copy* up. Navigate to System. Delete all files/folders except for media.
Open up media folder. Delete all files/folders except for audio.
Open up audio folder. Delete all files/ folders except for ringtones and notifications.
Open up ringtones folder. Delete all files and add the ringtones you want.
Open up notifications folder. Delete all files and add the notifications you want.
Save the new zip file to the SD card and flash it.
And most importantly, NANDROID before you flash it.
BTW, you can also make a media/audio/notifications folder (and/or media/audio/ringtones) on the SD card. Then you can run then right from the card instead of loading them each time. Takes a little time for the new ringtones to show up in settings.
I have 2.3.3 running well, or at least pretty well, but I want to add some of my MP3 tones to the phone. The ringtones are is the root/system/media/audio path and I was wondering if there is a post explaining how to add to the notification and ringtone folders. I am from WinMo and this is my first android. I loved flashing my Tilt and found droid to be easier to work with.
Any help or direction would be appreciated. I have searched but didn't find a How To.
Thanks
I just use a ringtone maker app from the market. Not sure if your looking for something more than this, but there's a bunch of em. They work with all the music on my phone
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
I already have the tones download to my sd card and I can move them around EXCEPT for putting them in the system subfolder in the root directory. When I copy and paste my existing mp3 tones, they fail when pasting to the Notification folder in the System folder.
/system/media/audio and all of the sub directories (notifications, ringtones, alarms on the phone are mounted as read only. If you want to copy your own tones into those folders you need a file manager app that has root access like root explorer, or es explorer.
Using Root explorer, navigate to the /system/media directory and toggle the file permissions from r/o (read only) to r/w (read write). from there you can use root explorer to copy/move your custom tones to the folders.
another way to include custom notification/ringtones is to make a folder in the phones internal SD called /media/audio/notification /media/audio/ringtones /media/audio/alarms and put your tones there. This method does not require root access.
I've noticed we don't have a lot of boot sound options in our forum, so I'm just making my own. Anyway, this site will convert almost any format to ogg http://media.io/ so, you can do it yourself. I've just been taking ringtones and such and converting them. 9 to 12 seconds lonh seems to work. I've attached a sample, (it's a little longer than optimum). Just unzip, to a convenient location. These instructions are for files you've converted, sample file is already properly named.
1) Using your file manager browse to system >media> audio> ui> PowerOn.ogg
2. Rename the file PowerOn.ogg to PowerOn.bak*
3. Browse to the location of the ogg you want as your new boot sound.
4. Make sure it is named PowerOn.ogg
5. Copy it to system > media>audio> ui> PowerOn.ogg
6. Reboot and enjoy
* Linux is case sensitive so the power on sound must be PowerOn.ogg with uppercase P and O

1) Create a folder named 'Ringtone' in your phone storage and save all your Custom tones in that folder
2) Go to Settings > Phone Ringtone
you will find all the custom ringtones loaded in the list to select as your Call Ringtone.
