Ringtones directory

I did a quick search but didn't find anything about this so forgive me if it's been asked, but where do ringtones go on the Evo? I have a mess of them I used on the TP and I'd like to put them on my Evo. Any help would be great.

Care to share? I've toyed around with Astro and it looks like you can copy and paste to certain places. Perhaps rooting will solve this.

Using an app call "TonePicker" I was able to choose the ringtones on my storage card & assign it to a contact

Yes but you have to go into the text message settings to do it

I think i can help.. You need to get together all the ringtones, alerts, & alarms on your computer.. Create a folder named Media.. Inside the Media folder, create three more folders named, Notifications, Alerts, & Alarms.. Place all your ringtones in the Notifications folder.. All your alerts for text messages go in the Alerts folder.. All your Alarms sounds go in the Alarms folder.. Plug your EVO into your computer, select Disk Drive on your hand set.. Open up the Phone files,, copy (or move) the Media folder to the other files on the phone.. RESET.. Good To GO..

Create a media folder where exactly? On the sd card?

Did what he said, but make a "Ringtones" folder and put the ringers you want in there and put your messaging ringtones in Notifications. Not sure what to put in the other two just yet, but I'm gonna play around with it and see. I'm new to Android and I'm learning just like I did when I first got my TP!
