Need help with with getting ringtones to save

[ddredd99]

I am using the liquidsmooth ROM on my Samsung S3, and I am having trouble saving ringtones for individual contacts; it has never worked properly, and I just flashed the latest release, so it was not the file I used initially. It seems the ringtones never save after changing them in the contacts area, and always default to the system ringtone set in the sounds area. If I set the system default ringtone to none, then it rings silently, regardless of who is calling. There must be something very minor I am overlooking, any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Can't help to much but where are you storing your ringtones? Since My devices are rooted I just replace the system ringtones with my own. I never had a problem setting individual ringtones this way. I started doing this because in the past if someone called me while my phone was hooked up to the computer then It would give me the default ringtone and I would have to manually reset the ringtone for the individual again. However switching them over to the system folder was just the fix I needed.

I am now storing them in the system folder as you mentioned, and deleted all other copies. I rebooted and found them in the folder, and deleted one of them as a ringtone, but it still defaulted to the system ringtone selected. I tried changing them to an .ogg file, as I am almost out of ideas, and no change. Maybe I need to do a fresh system wipe and reload the whole thing, not sure, or maybe select a different ROM and try that? I hear Cyanogenmod is a good one. Anyone else, throw a suggestion that I might try my way, thanks!

yeah unfortunately I know nothing about your device or ROM so not sure whats up there. But I do know that you can change the default ringtone and notification in the /system/build.prop file. But again I am not familiar with your phone or ROM so you may have limits I'm unaware of.

Used to be put them in Media file in a Ringtone folder. They should play as MP3, MID, and AAC. I've used all 3.
Probably other formats work but haven't tried them.
This was on all Samsung phones I've had.
