I cannot use a custom ringtone, say from google music. When I try to add a new one I get a screen that says Life's Good LG Mobile with a check box....no other options.
Anyone know how to do this?

Find where you have it stored on your phone (Downloads maybe?) and then Copy / Paste it to that folder. Good luck!

The only ringtones I can see is LG ringtones. When I click the ADD icon it only shows me my music. I copied all the ringtones I had into the default Ringtones folder and they still don't show up

Look for another folder. Especially on internal storage. Sometimes there is another folder buried within another, such as "Media".

I use a song, called "Tick Tick Boom" by The Hives....
you can use literally any mp3 (and other formats) of your choice as a ring tone (btw, nice choice on the Hives.) you must put your audio file one folder away from root, meaning the path has to be something like
/Storage Card/*.mp3
/Program Files/*.mp3
/My Documents/*.mp3
etc etc

Hello, Yes I read again the note moreover I found for the point N°1 but nothing for 2
Hmmm... it's really not in there...
Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications tab -> Select the event, and configure it as you like. Same audio format and locations apply as whith the phone ringtone.
Thank you very much. He(It) remains in me just to find the directory where I have to place my sounds so that I could store. Still thank you for your assistant.
For you information, i translate with Reverso.net

You can just throw them in /Storage Card/My Documents and you will be able to load them from there.
Thank you, it's OK.

Do they have to be in the root of Storage Card/My Documents, or can they be in other sub folders?

Guys,
My apologies if this has been covered before.... Only I've had a really bad day in Theatre (I lost a loving, warm and friendly aged Lady earlier) and all I want to do now is pack up for today and go home.
So.... I have a few custom sounds in .wma format that I've placed into Windows/Rings and would like to use these for my Text Messages, Email Alerts etc.
Trouble is the Sounds & Notifications list does not show these in the drop down list of available sounds.
If I select Phone they do show but any of the others and they are not displayed.
Therefore, the question being ~ Is there any way to have these custom sounds displayed and readily available for my Phone?
Thanks in advance.
Ringtones need to be be in the Rings folder.
Don't know why but anything else needs to be in the Windows folder to appear.
Here is one from Python Holy Grail that I find good.

That is quite strange...... All my Ringtones are located in Windows/Rings.
I don't have a folder named Rings in the root.
Thanks for the Monty Python... appreciated.
Apologies, let me clarify.
Ringtones in Windows\Rings
All others Windows\
Hope thats clearer.
My Sounds and Notifications show all the wav files in the windows directory, plus any wav/mp3/wma in My Documents (device or storage card).

Yes thanks... Got it now.
I've moved them into the Windows folder and they now work.
It's quite confusing when we mention ring tones and basically the ones I will be using are a ring tone.
But now I can see what you mean.... The default ring tones are in the Windows/Rings.
All other ring tones are in the Windows main folder.
Thanks.

Carrying this forward, is there any way we can change the 'tap' sound?
The iPhone sound is very nice when you tap the screen but the custom HTC one is awful

Is it possible to change the SMS received tone to a MP3 file or other audio file? Ideally without any third party software...?
Cheers!
Try Ringo Pro...it works perfectly..!!!!

If you just mean the system default go to messaging, settings, select ringtone. If you want custom tones for individuals Ringo.

Cheers for that, but for a feature that is available on most devices, it's not something that I'm willing to pay extra for... I'm sure the developer has done a great job, but I don't need different ringtones for different contacts or any of the other features...
The Lite version doesn't seem to have this bit, atleast, not by it's description....
I guess I'll just have to make do with "Captains Log"... unless anyone else know's of any other methods or free market place applications..?

I've got a MP3 file I would like to use... can convert it to any other format, but that's the one I want... cheers though!!
If you create a directory 'notifications' on your sd card and drop the file in there it should appear on the list for selection when changing notifications.

ringtones to appear in Ringtone Menu
alarms to appear in the Alarm Tone Menu
notification to appear in the Notification Tone Menu
Cheers everyone!
That works great! Thanks for the idea.
By puting mp3 ringtones in a folder called 'ringtones' on the sd card, you can use mp3's with ringo lite

If you had read above, you'd know you don't need any other software for that....

If you have root, you can also do this so that all of the notiications, ringtones, alarms etc ..... are moved from your phone to your SD card.
Code:
mount -oremount,rw /system/dev/mtdblock3 /system
cp -r /system/media/audio/ringtones /sdcard/
rm -R /system/media/audio/ringtones
obviously change it for notifications and alarms.
you can use any sound u like 4 any notification u like by simply dropping the file into the windows folder in the file explorer under my device works for me cheers guys

I use mp3 for ringtones and notification sounds with no problem, but I put mine on the device in the My Documents folder. I don't know if that will help, but it's worked for me on my last 3 WM devices.
