Hi,
I'm trying to install sound package which has ringtones and notifications. The files are ogg format.
I figured out how to install notifications. I have to use the built-in Samsung My Files to copy them into the Notifications folder. Then it will be picked up by the phone and I can see them in Settings notification list
However, I can't get the ringtones to show up in Settings ringtone list. I can use the plus button to choose, which shows all notifications as well.
What's the trick to install ringtones on S10?
Thanks

Just copy ringtones into the folder Ringtones! If the folder doesn't exists, make it!

I already did it twice, once with My Files. However, they don't show up in Settings -> Sound -> Ringtones. Instead, I'd have to click on + sign at the top and choose folder.
Does it require a folder structure inside Ringtones folder?
Thanks
Unfortunately, it happens to me all the times I've manually placed files into the Ringtones folder, even on internal storage not external SD. What I found worked reboot many times or use media scanner to refresh
How do I trigger media scanner?
Thanks

ok tq...can you help me where can i fine the ringtone folder??
Just create these folder structures on your sd card:
/media/audio/notifications/
/media/audio/ringtones/
and put your sound files there. System will automatically add them to the selection.

Hi,
i just flashed hellyBean CM10, looks great.
not sure why my apollo "stopped working" everytime, but my real question is how to change the alarm tone and the phone ringtone to a custom .mp3
couldn't find the option.
thanks.
I know two ways to do it:
1. For ringtones on your internal SD card create a folder named ringtones and put there the mp3. I guess it may work the same for notifications/alarms
2. Go to /system/media/audio and you will have 4 folders there: alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui and put here the mp3, fix permissions then reboot. But you will lose them on your next flash.
For your apollo issue: try to clear data and cache from manage apps/all/apollo then reboot.
Go to apollo-> long press a song->set as ringtone
then go to the ringtone and or alarm settings, the song you selected to set as ringtone will now be available in the list of ringtones.
Edit:this is the same I had to do on CM7.2 btw
Great!

Hi, would anyone please share the secret of how to add custom sound files as ringtones and notification sounds? In CM7 it was easy, place them in sdcard/ringtones or sdcard/notifications and I was able to choose my own sounds from the lists.
With CM10 this doesn't work anymore. I cannot see my own added sound files. I tried
Code:
storage/sdcard0/notifications
storage/sdcard0/media/audio/notifications
storage/sdcard1/notifications
storage/sdcard1/media/audio/notifications
And the same with. /ringtones directories as well. No sound file was detected. So how can I play my own song when someone calls or play my own short sound when I receive a text message?
Just use a file manager to copy the sounds to system/media/audio/notifications or .../rintones. Check the permissions and reboot.
After the reboot, you can pick your custom sounds in the sound options.
Please note: You have to do this again after EVERY cm update (new nightly)!
If your file manager says your internal memory is full, just delete some of the rintones you don't like... Honestly, most of them are annoying crap.

Seriously? this is your advice?
I've got some ringtones & notification tones I want to put on my Note 5 from my Note 4, but can't seem to find the right folder. I tried the Ringtone folder, but it doesn't show up on the list when I try to assign them. Can anyone give me the correct location for it/them?

If you are rooted; system / media / audio / ringtones. If you are not rooted use another file explorer besides the stock one and use it to navigate to your regular ringtone folder and select it that way.

That was it, Thanks. I'm not rooted, but was using the stock explorer.

for notifications
/INTERNAL MEMORY/media/audio/notifications
for Ringtones
/INTERNAL MEMORY/Ringtones
I used to place my own rintones and notifications in a map ringtones and in a map notifications and was able to select the ringtone i want. Since last update i can only select the default ringtones and mp3 from the music list. I dont want my ringtones in my music list. What must i do to get it as it was ?
What do you mean by map ringtones and map notifications?
You must put them on /sdcard/Ringtones and /sdcard/Notifications, but if you don't want them to show in your music app, the only way I know is to put them in /system/media/audio, root needed of course.
Yes i know and i tried it. As mp3 and as ogg file but they dont play or show up in my list of ringtones.
Before the update to v20c i was able to place mp3 files in a map ringtones on my sd card and files would show up in ringtone list, not in music list.
Somehow the update has blocked this option. Only solution now is placing files in music dir on sd card.
Hoped that someone has a better solution
Of course you've restarted the device after copying the files? And I am not sure if it works in the external SD, I know it works in /sdcard.
Ofcourse...

well it depends on what type of music/songs you are placing on the media folders:btw you have to set permissions for each ringtone to r-w-r-r or to 6.4.4 so yeah meaby is just permissions or unsuported file format

Well the ringtone is in mp3, tried also ogg. Files can be played with the default music player, so an issue with file association cant be the issue. Will try setting rights..
But the strange thing is with v20b it still worked, i didnt change anything on the mp3... after the update to v20c the files dont show up in the ringtone list...
Oké, issue solved. Was indeed rights issue. Reset whole dir to 644 and reboted.
