I have a new S5 and would like to have the Serenity "smart alarm" tone included on my S5. Just don't know where to find them on my tablet.
Thanks

Select Alarm in the app drawer, then tap the + sign. This has all your settings menus for the alarm.

I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear about what I need. There is an alarm tone on my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition that I would like to put on my S5. What I need to know is where I can find the alarm tone file so that I can copy it/BT it/email it and put it on my s5 phone.

Thank you so much! But, I have a problem. I can't figure out where to put this mp3 file so that it gives me the option to use it in the Clock app (smart alarm section). It showed up under the regular alarm notifications but not under the smart alarm notifications. The smart alarm is the alarm that plays for a minute or two before the regular alarm. Would you have any idea how to or where to put the downloaded music file so that it would show up in the smart alarm options
for use in the Clock app? Thank you

The sound files for the smart alarms are in system\media\audio\ui folder.

I guess it is "hard coded" some where in a .apk file.

You either have to replace them with your own files using the same names or find the .apk file holding this information.

I also would like to know which .apk file it is.

Found it
system\app\ClockPackage.apk --> res\values\string.xml

I am sorry if my question is off topic. How could I add this new information into the APK file? I am a newbie in the issues of deep changes in Android. I have an ogg file that I want to add in the list of Smart Alarm tones of my S4. I don't want to delete or replace any of the stock tones, just add one more. Is it possible? Could it affect APK functionality (cause some bugs, crashes etc.)? Many thanks in advance.

Hey if anybody is still wondering how to get old Galaxy alarm or ringtones on a newer model Galaxy- i had the same problem when I got my S6 and wanted an alarm tone from my S4.
I installed an app called Zedge and found all of the ringtones I was looking for and from Zedge you can either set as your default or just change it in your alarm ringtone settings. I hope this helps :)
