Default Custom Ringtones setting ???

guys, i have few MP3 & few OGG files which i was using them as ringtones on my previous phone.
in SGS2, i dont know how i can set custom ringtones.... i saw some OGG files in system/media/audio/ringtone folder through root explorer.
i tried copying OGG files into that folder, it allowed me. but when i went to settings/sounds/ringtone.... there it doesnt show up the newly added file...
what should i do ? is it possible to use custom ringtone on SGS2 ? if yes, how & in what format the SGS2 recognises music files....
pls let me know.... i am waiting

Hmmm think the fastest way on a clean phone would be to just play the song in the media player and then "menu > set as > phone ringtone"

Think you can also set then using kies.

Mind you I've only used mp3's so not sure if this also goes for OGG files.

hope it's somewhat usefull

You can actually put them in any partition, even on the memory card, you don't have to root so long as you put them in the correct folder:

Ringtones
/media/audio/ringtones/
Alarms
/media/audio/alarms/
Notifications
/media/audio/notifications/

I believe that any audio format that the phone can support may be used

You don't even need the media/audio/ folders.

My sd card just has the last folder name, and any files in there show up in the relevant selection menus.
