I ran into this small problem on my Evo yesterday and was able to find the
solution. How to use your custom sounds and ringtones on your phone for
calls and notifications.
- Access your phone via the USB drive on your PC (mass storage mode)
- You will see a folder named "media." Open it.
- From there you'll see a folder named "audio." Open it.
- In there you'll see a folder named "notications." We will get to that folder
and what it's there for in a second...
- Now while in the audio folder you'll want to create two new folders. Name
one as "ringtones" and the other as "alarms" (if you like to use custom alarms).
- Any custom ringtones that you would like to show up in the ringtones on
the phone should be dragged and dropped into the "ringtones" folder.
- Any custom alarms that you would like to show up in the alarms on the
phone should be dragged and dropped into the "alarms" folder.
-Any custom notification tones that you would like to show up in the
notifications tones for things such as SMS, E-mail, IM's, Twitter, etc. should
be dragged and dropped into the already existing "notifications" folder.
Once that is done, you should be good to go. I'm doing this on an Evo which
is on 2.1 at the moment. But I believe this should apply to almost all other devices.
