Notification tones

[DreadStorm]

Anyone know how to force new tones into notifications? It's really absurd when a newfangled dumb-phone can't even do what the old POS phones can do. I have a couple tones I want inserted into notifications, and it won't acknowledge them. Please, any help would be appreciated - even if I have to root the darn thing.

PS: I have no problem seeing them in phone ringtones, they just won't add to notification tones.

Can you post how you did this please? The default notification tones are boring - I want to use downloaded mp3 tones as notification tones (which i could do easily on my old phone!!!

Thanks.

Hi TraceyN, and welcome to AF

I just copy the files into a folder called Notifications on my sd card. The system can find them fine.

If you install ES File Explorer then when you use the menu to change the notification ringtone it will offer you the option of using this instead of Android System - then you can browser your entire filesystem. Some other apps can do this too (many 3rd party SMS apps seem able to, perhaps because they can set their own notification).
