Custom sounds for Notifications?

[metalzo]

Hey guys. I'm trying to use my own mp3s and/or wavs as notifications (ie. text message received). I know how to do this for ringtone (click & hold > set as ringtone) but not for other notification settings.

I have tried placing the files in Windows\Rings and \Windows and soft resetting but none of that worked. They still don't show up in the drop down menu under Sounds & Notifications. The other sounds used for notifications are in \Windows so I'm not sure why this is happening. Any ideas?

You sure can .. just pop them in your Windows directory and they will appear in your drop down of selections to allocate to alarms etc.

Tried this as I stated above...is there some sort of naming requirement for this to work? Because I did this and even tried soft resetting...with no luck.

You can always try to name them like default tones, like alarm1.wav etc. But are your custom sounds playing ok in mediaplayer? If not they won't be played as notification & probably not listed as well in the listbox.

On my magician (2K3) I can indeed drop them in \windows & select them without soft-reset, hope you get it working too.
