Help Customized Ringtones on the Droid X

[NillyWilly4]

do you have to take the SD card out of the phone to do this? I'm trying to put ringtones I created but they only save to SD card and then can't go into the folders I want them to. How do you create folders on the SD card?

As for the ringtone creator software I am using Joy Ring Tone Converter Personal. Not free but a great program.

MP3 To Ringtone, mp3 to mmf, mp3 to midi Convert MP3 to Ringtone, MP3 to MMF, MP3 To amr, WAV to Midi, MP3 to Midi, mp3 ringtone converter, MP3 Compressor - Joy RingTone Converter

ok you guys. i need major help. i am new to the droid family. i used to have an iphone but now i have a droid x and i have no idea where or how to get ringtones. is it possible to use my iphone ringtones from itunes?? please help

Same for me; created the folders, moved the files, still not visible in the ringtone list. Weird part is that I had them at one point, without having done the above, but I can't remember what I did. Just seemed to me like my Droid X was truly an alien; I'd set the ringtones, then unbeknownst to me I'd receive a call and it'd be my fiance's rt while she's sitting right next to me - yes, an odd situation the couple of times that has happened.

I'm having trouble figuring out the Android folder system, coming from a Windows Mobile device - still lots to learn. Back to the topic of this thread, what's missing in the picture?

Yeah the Droid X is just like a PC it has a mind of its own. I can set ring tones and they work til' my fingers bleed and 1 to 3 calls later the Droid will just set ring back to default....better than iphone but needs serious upgrades.....

Is there a "for Dummies" link with step by step how download ringtones and use them for specific contacts?

I'm REALLY new to smartphones and obviously it's smarter than I am.

Any help is appreciated.

It's kinda a mess. It keeps losing my customized ringtone in any case.

from the root directory on the SD Card create a Media/Audio/Ringtones directory and copy your ringtones into it (xxxx.mp3). They should show up when the phone is disconnected from the usb and the sd card is mounted. (you can also create directories Media/Audio/Alarms and Media/Audio/Notifications if you want.)

How do I do it? I'm new to the droid phone and am having a terrible time trying to figure out how to use my ringtones. Can I use different ones for different callers? And can you use them for text messaging? IF so, How?

Go into the contact and edit... on the bottom click additional info and there will be a option for individual ringtone

When you are in your text messaging program go to settings.... under notification you will see the ringtone option. Same goes for google voice, google talk, etc.

I downloaded Handcent and it works wonderfully on my Droid X!!

Once you start a thread with someone in your texts, go to the thread and in the top right hand corner is the 'Personalization' button and when you go to 'Notification Settings' you can pick a personal ringtone for each person! Love it

1. Set any of your songs on your SDcard as a phone ringtone:

From the Music player application library, navigate to a song you want to use as a phone ringtone
Touch & hold the song in the list to open the context menu. (You can also access same menu during song playback by pressing the Menu hard key)
Select Use as phone ringtone. The ringtone is set as your default incoming call ringtone and copied to your Phone ringtone list.
If you are using a custom ringtone (created from MP3s on your handset for example) with a bluetooth headset, you will hear a beep or tone when receiving a call through the headset while the custom ringtone will play from the phone speakers.


2. Choose Phone ringtones through settings menu:

Press the Menu hard key
Touch Settings
Touch Sound & display
Touch Phone ringtone (If option is greyed out, make sure handset volume is not set to Silent Mode)
Select a Phone ringtone from the list. Press OK to set. (Music files you have set as Incoming Call ringtone from your SDcard will be included in this list along with downloaded and preloaded ringtones.


3. Customize the text message ringtone

From the homescreen or from within the applications tray, touch Text messaging
Press the Menu hard key (On the left with 4 squares)
Touch Messaging Settings
Touch Select ringtones (if option is greyed out, make sure Notifications is turned on / actived)
Touch on any Notification ringtone to select and hear a sample.
Press OK to set as notification ringtone


4. Assign a ringtone to a specific contact:

Press Contacts icon on homescreen or tap on Contacts application from the Applications Tray
Press the specific contact
Press the menu key
Touch Edit. Clear keyboard with Back key.
Scroll down and Press > at end of Additional info to open more options
Touch V (down) icon next to Ringtone
Choose a Phone ringtone from the list and tap OK to set.
Press Save to save to contact.
Personalized ringtone will appear in contact info screen.

Note: To assign a music/song from your memory card as a ringtone, first follow step1 above and follow step 4 again.


5. Download ringtones from Android market

From the programs menu, touch Market
Touch search to search for ringtones.

Ok so I used Ringdroid and created some custom ringtones form MP#s, they show up in my ringtone list but when I play them, they don't work. Has anyone else had this issue and know a fix?

**UPDATE** Ok figured it out. My USB cable was plugged in and Ringdroid won't do its thing while the USB cable is plugged in.

Not a reply, a resurrection of the thread at a lower level!

Very new with the phone - droid charge. I downloaded Ringdroid. Then I click on it. And there it sits with two boxes on the top, a Search Box, and a Record New.
And there it sits? And sits?
I did something one time which evoked the ring tone choices - but I don't know what I did?
You see the learning curve for the technologically challenged is not a curve - or maybe some mathematician would say its still is a curve of sorts - that is to say, for me, the learning curve is a vertical line.
So what do I do now? And how am I supposed to know what to do now with this app. Anybody? give me a ring (but not by Ringdroid.
Waiting on the primer to the primer?
