Hello everyone, I am a first time Android user. I have read a great deal of the threads on this forum and they have answered many of my questions about this phone but there are still a few that I cannot find the answers for ... I guess my google-fu is weak. I would greatly appreciate any help that could be given.


1) Can I add ringtones to the Micro SD card on the Triumph without rooting the phone and if so how.

2) When I have the setting set to allow notifications I hear the chosen tone but I also still hear the system tone that is audible when the notifications are set to not play. Is there a way to stop this? It's not a deal breaker but kind of annoying.

3) Most of the backup programs I have seen lead me to believe that I need to have the device rooted in order to get the most from the app. Is this true or since I don
 
I had thought that it might be a good idea to back up the apps. In the event I had to switch phones I could get all the apps I had back. I know I could easily download them again but at a certain point that could become a hassle. Also couldn’t I just copy all files onto a new Micro SD and use a larger one?
 
To back up app, I use "AndroZip" which also triple as file explorer and archive extractor. You don't need root privilege to backup apps, except it can't backup apps that you purchased. (Though there is a way, but I don't know if its breaks the forum rule to talk about it.)

For Ringtones, create a folder called "Ringtones" on your SD card and put audio files in it. Reboot for the phone to detect the new ringtones.

I'm not sure about your #2 question. But you can use "Quick Settings" which allows you to individually adjust volumes for both System and Notification sounds. Also its a very useful app overall.
 
I use ES File explorer to back up apps you could give that a try. Most file managers come with an App backup tool.

What kind of file extensions will the MT take for ringtones?
