all those ring tones and they all suck!

[mountainbikermark]

So nobody uses 4shared and sends them via mms anymore? They have a gazzillion simple plings , blips,bleeps and other message type tones or I just make my own on bitpim.I use ringo lite for assigning them to contacts for calls and texts. Its nice being able to know who just texted me before I look

I'm beginning to think I'm losing it or a total dummy or something ... maybe I've just been in this computer business too long..... The so-called manual is worthless. There's virtually no information around on how to install custom ring tones. Even the information on the Motorola site

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48606/kw/ringtones/p/30%2C6720%2C7500

appears to be wrong or I can't understand it. I press and hold an MP3 either song or downloaded ringtone and there is not option to make it my ringtone like the link above says.

Am I just an idiot or what?

it's you...

I'm watchin' you. :icon_evil: :icon_evil: :icon_evil:

See above, particularly: Too bad they don't explain this anywhere

You can beat the tried and true Jack Bauer ring tone from 24.

Okay after searching half the day... I just found the explanation on another forum:
Customized Ringtones on the Droid X - Android Forums

-----------------
You must create in the root directory of the SD Card these paths:
Media/Audio/Ringtones
Media/Audio/Notifications
Media/Audio/Alarms

Ringdroid will also do this for you...

Then just dump the MP3s you want in those respective folders. Too bad they don't explain this anywhere

The only notification sound you can't change to your own is the SD Card notification sound, because the system can't access the SD Card when it's mounting.
------------------------

Thanks sooooo much for your research and instructions. Great instructions too, I might add.
I've spent the better part of last night trying to input a new ringtone to my "new" Droid X and you came through. Thanks. :icon_ banana:

+11 for Zedge, plus I kinda like the leaked R2D2 tones.

 

[1CrazyCubfan]

How about assigning diff. ringtones to diff. contacts/groups??? Anyone?

 

[mountainbikermark]

Ringo will do that

Zedge is good, but also putting mp3's and then downloading ringdroid is even better.
