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.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

i found it..but not sure how to use astro to get the files here.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

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

Re: Ringtones directory
 

can you reassign txt msg tone using the app as well?

I hate being a noon again

Re: Ringtones directory
 

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

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

Re: Ringtones directory
 

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!

Re: Ringtones directory
 

This never even cross my mind, thanks bro.
The one folder house different sounds for the alarm clock and the other sounds for the ui.. Like the camera click or the tick sound you can enable each time you touch the screen

Re: Ringtones directory
 

to set your personal sounds as ringers, open them in the music application, then hit the menu key and set as ringtone. now if I can just figure out how to set them as notification sounds, I'll be happy... for now. :P

Re: Ringtones directory
 

You know all you have to do is open the media folder and creat a new file so that you have notifications as well as ringtones filders in the media file. Worked for me.

Zedge - it's a pretty good app on the market. Also have tried Mabilo Ringtones...

Re: Ringtones directory
 

I get a "music" folder when I have the phone hooked up as a drive, but no "media" folder, ringtone folder or notifications folder.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

Just create it yourself.. create the media folder and put those subfolders inside..

Re: Ringtones directory
 

I feel you

Re: Ringtones directory
 

Just a tip... you guys need to be a little more specific when you're talking about file paths and such. If you say "Open up the Phone files,, copy (or move) the Media folder to the other files on the phone.. RESET.. Good To GO.." that's not very specific... It's confusing to know whether the Media folder goes right in another existing folder or whether to copy/move it as if it's a brand new folder at the top level.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

why are all of the replies so vague? Media folder as in the one on the SDCARD or in system on the root of the device? And if you mean the folder on the device, how do you copy paste files into there? Gives me an error everytime i try. and if you mean the sdcard, I made the folders i was supposed to make, i tried playing the songs in the music player provided so i can set them as a ringtone, but when i play my own mp3s, and click menu, nothing pops up. only thing i can do is pause. so please explain exactly what to do to get my mp3s as ringtones. thanks

Re: Ringtones directory
 

okay i figured it out.

• plug your phone in
• set it as disk drive
• make a folder named ringtones directly on the root of the sdcard [not in the media folder like everyone was saying to do]
• put your ringtones in there
• change the usb type back to charge only
• go to sound and display, click phone ringtone, and your ringtones should be in there.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

First you need to create a folder on your sdcard & name it media. Next create a folder inside the media folder & name it sudio. In the audio folder create 3 new folders named alarms(For changing clock alarms) notifications(For changing notifications) and ringtones. from there place the sounds of your choosing in one of theses folders. Now set a sound (be it ringtone, alarm or whatever) like you would usually do & your new sound file will now be in the list

Re: Ringtones directory
 

thanks for a proper response ;] &

i just posted the way i did it directly in the root of the sd card.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

I tried placing my ringtones in sdcard\media\audio\ringtones\ and sdcard\ringtones For some reason EVO only detects preloaded tones. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Ringtones directory
 

Maybe it doesn't like the format your files are in.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

I have about 50 different MP3 files in in ringtones directory that came from different sources. I doubt all of them are bad...

Re: Ringtones directory
 

My path is sdcard/media/ringtones. Works fine for me. Inside the media folder is where you make your ringtones, notifications, and alerts folders.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

Same crap.... :( Tried .SDCARD\ringtones, .SDCARD\media\ringtones and .SDCARD\media\audio\ringtones with the same result.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

Okay hoss, there might be something wrong with the ringtones you're trying to use. I'm looking at my sdcard file structure now. You should make a "Media" folder DIRECTLY ON THE SDCARD so no one says I'm being vague. This means that as soon as you mount your phone as a usb drive, whatever pops up and opens, create a new folder there called "Media". Inside this folder, I have "Alarms", "Alerts", "Notifications", and "Ringtones". Inside the "Notifications" folder, is where your messaging ringtones would go. Inside the "Ringtones" folder is where your phone call ringtones would go. I'm using mp3 ringers, so everything is working fine. I'm not too clear on what would go in the "Alarms" and "Alerts" folder.

And if those aren't clear enough, I've attached a crudely drawn image of detailed instructions. Enjoy.

But seriously, if you need more help, just pm me or post in here. I'll be happy to help.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

I converted the old Buzzer_Loud.wav (great for an "alarming" alarm) to an mp3 on my PC, emailed it to myself, saved to SD Card (goes to Downloads by default, found that my SD card already had sd\media\audio with a notifications sub-directory under that. I added an alarms directory, copied the buzzer file over, open my alarm clock, and it was already there. I know I hadn't created the sd\media\audio\notifications folder (unless something I installed did), because the only file in there was some Facebook file, and I know more about 8-track tapes than I do about Facebook.

So the OS apparently reads in parallel from the main memory and the SD card for such files.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

Tried this, didn't work. Notifications and Alarms work, but nothing shows up when I look at my Phone Ringtone section, just the tones that come with the phone.

When I look through my phone using the file explorer app called ASTRO, my new Media folder does not show up unless I'm looking through it to add a song as an Alarm, otherwise this new folder does not show.

Any ideas to for adding a Ringtone? Given I just got the Evo yesterday, so its an brand new stock ROM and all that.

Never mind fellows, seems not having an "s" in Ringtones made all the difference.

Re: Ringtones directory
 

sdcard/media/audio/ringtone

on your sd card create a media folder, then inside that an audio folder, then inside that a ringtone folder.

place it in the ringtone folder, make sure you have the folder set up like above.

Or if you create a ringtone with mp3 trimmer then it will create a folder called sdcard/ringtone
