The ringers... Good Lord, the Ringers...

[TemporalBeef]

Love my new GS3... hate hate HATE the ringers and notifications. Anyone know where I might be able to pick up dumps of other devices ringtones and notifications sounds, kind of like I see with wallpapers when a new device comes out?

And yes, I know I can make my own, and yes, I know I can use music files. But I want my device to sound like a phone, not an mp3 player.

Seriously? Not a single just-plain-phone ringtone at all? That's disappointing. I've only found one acceptable ringtone and two acceptable notification tones on my RAZR MAXX. The rest are thoroughly unprofessional, and it sounds like the GSIII is even worse!

Well, they took the "designed by nature" thing a little too far, so everything sounds like something that came from a jungle tribe or a hippie yoga instructor

yeah, the ringers and notifications definitely blow. I'm thinking I may pull the ones from my Thunderbolt when I get a chance.

Zedge is a free app-has many normal ringtones

I used the alarm this morning and that was a pretty decent thing to wake up to. I've carried over my old faithful ring tone that I made from a James Brown song. Yeah hard to believe there's nothing resembling a real ring. Notification options are odd, too.

Ditto this. There are plenty of good normal/business appropriate ring tones on the Zedge site and app.

I kind of like the whistle for notifications. Though I'm sure it will get old sooner or later.

Gnex has 2 that sound like actual rings. I'll see if I can pull them for ya.

That's insane! I mean, I appreciate the "designed by nature" idea - the rippling water effects and outdoorsy wallpapers. But to screw with ringtones and notifications is just plain nutty.

No worry, my notification ringtone will be CyanMessage in a while anyways.

What format of audio does the SG3 use for ringtones, etc.??

I may put my Palm ringtones on it for nostalgia purposes.

I agree! The ring tones and message tones are horrible. In real life situations, they just won't be loud enough in an outdoor environment. Good thing I've been saving/collecting ring tones and notification tones for the last 2/3 years since Eclair, lol! Zedge has AWESOME notification tones. Mabilo used to have the BEST ringtones but its not available anymore. Just look for system dumps online and grab the tones from them. Thats what I've done in the past and still carry with me today!

Go into the play store and get a free app called " Nostalgic Phone". Has a bunch of basic phone ringer tones. I like an old fashined ringer for calls myself.

How do you snag tones off a phone? I would love to take my Fascinate ringers with me.

Just google Fascinate system dump and grab the ringers/tones off it. I have them on my old PC somewhere actually, lol!

They should be stored under system/media/. You can either copy the ringtones and notifications folder with a file explorer or use the adb pull command if you have it set up on your computer.

Here you go....

The method I use doesn't require root, but still gets to the root of the device. get AndroZIP and open it.

Go to the parent folder of the sdcard.

Go to system > media > audio.

Now just use AndroZIP to copy them to a reachable partition from USB.



Here's the GNex ringtones I promised:

Pyxis sounds the most like a phone, but Andromeda also sorta sounds like ringing.

EDIT: If you guys want ALL the Gnex ringtones, notifications and alarms, just let me know.

Zedge used to have more of a selection. I also use Audiko.net. They have an Android app that can be downloaded from the site as well.
