For the life of me I can't figure this out. I have an mp3 and I see nowhere on it to set it as the ringtone, and I see nowhere on the ringtone menu to use a custom tone.
Yeah, just went through that myself. Not sure if it's a bug, or what, but I found a workaround. Check my other post on this in the development.

EDIT: Oh wait, that fix is for setting a custom ringtone for one specific contact. If you just want to set your default system ringtone, that's under Settings > Sound & display > Phone ringtone. In order for your mp3 to show up in the selection of ringtones, you will need to created a folder called ringtones on your sdcard and put the mp3 in there.
great! thanks
Or you use the app called Ringdroid , lets you edit mp3 into ringtones and its free.

Hi toxic,
Official support was not built in the ROMs so you have to use an extended software to attain it. Try SetMp3AsRingtone. You can also manually copy your MP3 ringtones to Windows/Rings folder. Then you can select them from the Sounds & Notifications.
Try installing SPB PocketPlus. It comes with a whole range of functions and displays.
Cheers!!

I agree with this, but there is one more way to set mp3 for ringtone. Probably you will install some programs for playing mp3 music (Pocket Music or some other), but the key is in setting which program will associate that *.mp3 extension, if u allow some program (different than Windows Media Player) to automatically play this files, it will make u trouble when set the mp3 for ringtone, it won't ring, not any sound at all! So be carefull when choose file types in any program for multimedia file types (*.avi, *.mpg, *.mp3, *.wma ...) the best is to not associate them at all with any other program except WMP. This will work 100%!
Cheers to all!!
Thanks iwans for the addition.
u can try phone alarm too for mp3
I've got a problem with it. In settings there is limited list of built-in tunes and no way to add custom mp3. Trick with creating sdcard/media/audio/ringtones didn't work =\
you can also choose it from the Musicplayer
open the musicfile in the player then press menu and choose as ringtone
Oh, thanks problem solved. I'm not using default player so it was not so clear
Btw problem with custom notification sound is still open

The correct path on the SD card for this trick to work is:
/media/audio/notifications/*filename*.mp3
Also, it only works for notification sounds, not for ringtones.
I use a apps Rings Extended
When you chose a ringtone you can continue with android system or rings extended, and you can chose between Music, Ringdroid or select music track
on your sd card make 3 seperate folders
Ringtones (for ringtones)
Notifications (For message tone)
Alarms (for Alarm tone)
put your mp3 to which one u need

Yea, it works, tnx. But is there similar path for ringtones? i tried /media/audio/ringtones/*filename*.mp3, but id didn't work. Well, there is still option with music player and setting mp3 as ringtone.
/media/audio/ringtones/*filename*.mp3 worked for me!
you can just use some app to use custom ringtones like Ringer.
Thanks & great answer

thanks pal it worked.....like magic
cool!
/media/audio/ringtones/*filename*.mp3 worked for me too. 2.3.1 darky
Installed 2.3.4 on my HD2. I do have one question:
I cannot find a capability to assign/select separate Ringtones for my contacts as I could do in 2.3.3. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Two tips that I have learned in the past couple of days when moving up from 2.2.
1. If anyone uses a Magic Jack and needs to listen to their voice mail. I have found that WavPlayer (Free) does work to play the voice mails.
2. If you want an easy way to increase the size of your Icons/apps use LCD Density Changer.
Hope these two helps others.
Im using hyperdroid CM7 which uses 2.3.4. I can do it on mine.
Contacts>Click on your preferred contact>Hit Windows Button And Choose Options> Ringtone (Set as default)

Thanks! Your are right. I was choosing Edit instead of OPTIONS. I do appreciate your help! Give you a 'Thank You'!
no worries mate
Under 2.3.4, you don't see Media for Ringtones, Notifications? Did they move that?
well on my build i can pick between media or stock android sounds. even long pressing on a song in the music app lets me set it as sms or ringtones

Thanks, that did it as it placed the song in Ringtones.
However, where are Ringtones, Notifications stored? Under other Android OS these were stored under Media. I cannot find a Media folder.
Gave you a 'Thank You.'
no worries bro , on my SD card i have a folder called ringtones with 30 sec clips of all the different ringtones I've used. These ringtones ALWAYS appear when I'm picking a notification sound (even when I flash a new rom) so I guess you could try creating a ringtones folder on your SD card and rebooting your phone and see what happens. Hope it helps

I also have two folders on my SD card.
1. I got from a previous version of Android 2.2.2 called Media.
2. I made and call Ringtones where I made ringtones and placed them in there.
However, when I view either one, they both do not contain the music filoe that I put in yesterday using the method you suggested. I used Music player and held down on that song until Select as Ringtone option appeared. I could them see that ringtone song when I wanted to select that ringtone for my SMS. However, I cannot see that specific song in either of the abobe 2 folders: Media and Ringtones.
So, that is why I ask if anyone knows where Ringtones are stored when using 2.3.4.
Again, I do appreciate your time, help and have a great day. Thank you!
Hi there. I had a thought awhile ago about the perfect ringtone picker app for setting up your ringtones.
I would like to have a setup like what the PowerAMP and MortPlayer music apps have to offer with the folder selection. It would be nice to have all of my ringtones into one folder all by themselves. A ringtone picker app that allows me to choose a folder with ringtones in it so that it will only display the ringtones within that specific folder.
This would work quite well as all other ringtone picker apps jumble together every single music file on your sd card into one giant list. I want to have more control over my ringtones. I hate having to go through every single music file I have just to set a simple ringtone. What we need is a folder setup to organize our ringtones how we want to see them. No more giant list with the ringtones mixed in with the rest of the music files.
Is there a such app that is already released? If not, I would love to
see this in development. I can't be the only one who wishes about this.

ah, it should be a folder in system called ringtone or sounds don't remember, add/delet your stuff there and your list will be clean.
RINGDROID nice app you can find on market, edit your mp3's and set them as ringtone as you wish
I haven't played with ringtones ( besides default ) until today. Well I have convinced myself that I am retarded. I did some searching, and I found out that the ringtones are in the /system/media/audio folder. Great ! Copy and paste, right ?!? Wrong. Putting an MP3 in there did nothing. Hmmm, all the files are ogg ... so I convert the MP3 to ogg. I changed permissions to match the default ones. Hell, I even made sure it had a capital letter. Now it does show up in the list, but not with the proper name. Its listed as "0". For God's sake, there has to be a way to fix this and there has to be an easier way to add mp3's/oggs for custom ringtones. Honestly, if I can get the Imperial March to play when the wife calls and the theme from Jaws to play when the mother in-law calls, I'll be a happy guy. Please tell me there's an app for that !

Ringdroid.
Also.. /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
Thank you. Hangs head in shame ...
By accident I found out if you long hold the song in the music player a menu will appear. Select use as ringtone. Showed up in the list perfect for me.

I cant set ringtones at all because it just crashes ANY app that would set one
