Custom Ringtones

[kjsmommy10]

Ok, so my GN doesn't come until tomorrow, but since we don't have a micro SD card, I was wondering has anyone been able to put their own custom ringtones on the device. I like having these so I know exactly who's calling & what not.

When you hook it up to your computer you see various folders in the "SD card" directory. You can put custom ringtones and notifications in those respective directories and the system will detect them and let you use them wherever you set ringtones.

Or at least that's my understanding of it

Thanks for the reply. I thought it would be something like this because on my Incredible I have them listed in the Audio folder on the device itself that way when my SD was mounted I still had access to those ringtones.

Yup, basically the same deal.

I use a app call zedge. It has wallpapers and ring tones. You can download some really nice ringtones.

put them in the correct Folders -

save your shared files in one of the following directories:

Music/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as user music.
Podcasts/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as a podcast.
Ringtones/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as a ringtone.
Alarms/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as an alarm sound.
Notifications/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as a notification sound.
Pictures/ - All photos (excluding those taken with the camera).
Movies/ - All movies (excluding those taken with the camcorder).
Download/ - Miscellaneous downloads.
