OneX and custom notification sounds

---

How do you use custom notification sounds? I know you can make a song or whatever you ringtone, but I do not see an option of saving it as notification as in new text or email.

The easiest way that I know of to dot his is to save the file on your internal memory and then use a file explorer to navigate to media/audio. Inside of that folder there will be folders for ringtones, notifications, and alarms ( if they are not present just create them using those exact names). Copy the sound files you want to use into the appropriate folder and they will appear as selections in the sound selection menus of the various applications. If they don't show up right away, just reboot and they will be there.

I have ES File Explorer installed on my EVO 3D and when I tap to select a sound on the personalization screen it asks if I want to use Android System or ES to choose a sound. With ES you'll be able to search for the file in any folder and it'll be added to the list, avoiding data redundancy (having two of the same file) - yeah I care about it, I'm insane.

PS. You'll need to restart your phone without the SD to get the sound removed from the list.
