Use Your Own Ringtones for Notifications?

[BelindaR]

I have a Skyrocket and one thing that's really bugging me is I can't seem to find a way to use my own ringtones as notifications for apps such as email, Facebook, etc. All the stock ringtones that I can use all sound the sound the same so I don't know what my phone is going off for. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

You can mount the phone, go to root of the sdcard and navigate to media\ringtones copy or move said ringtones to media\notifications. If there is no media folder in the root folder already create one.
In file manger via the phone navigate to /mnt/sdcard/media and if not already there create a folder labeled as notifications and ringtones and one for alarms if needed. Good luck.

Does it have to be rooted first?

No need to root to access the folder. There are free file managers in the app market to access it but I prefer doing this thru a desktop.

Thanks. I'd planned to root anyway but not until my period to return it AT&T was up. I'll definitely do this.

This worked for my phone. Thanks again.
