[Q] Where is this ringtone file located?

[alrit]

Recorded file of the ringtone I asked is attached.
It's in Messaging / Gmail / Email -Settings-Notification settings-Select ringtone-scroll up2top
u will probably see a "Default Ringtone". -- which is not listed in system settings-sounds-notifications.

A friend of mine asked me to send this ringtone to him, but rookie like me cannot find where the ringtone file actually is. ..... already tried /system/media/
well it may be stupid but can someone help me find it?

Seems that both froyo & gb roms contain this ringtone. Searched several pages for it but still got no answer.

From your home screen:

1. Press the Menu Button
2. Select Settings
3. Select Sound
4. Select Notification Ringtone

This is your Default Notification Sound. If you want your messages to make a different sound than the default notification that it uses for everything else (email, updates, etc.) you would change it in the menu you listed. The "Default Ringtone" is simply a pointer.

Thanks for reply but afraid it's not what I need. I know I can change it to everything else .
My point is to get this exact ringtone file --which sounds a little boring . /_\

The default ringtone is not a certain file. It is whatever your ringtone that you set through the menu steps I wrote.

Dude you are completely missing the question.


OP
I just looked in /system/media/sounds/ringtones
And notifications, I didn't find it either, but I don't have a "default ringtone" option at the top either...


But why do you need to extract it? You have the sound right there in your first post? Just convert it to .ogg format and drop it in your friend's phone where it should go...

that's a recorded one not a lossless one as he requests..
sounds silly but I also like to find out.

I tried Serendipity_6.4 & continuum 5.41 they both have this default ringtone (difference is S has it as phone Ringtones, C has it as notification sound.
).
There are some posts here about people had set to another ringtone but sometime still heard this default one ringing , in lately builds of roms.

I notice the /system/build.prop does specify ro.config.ringtone and ro.config.notification_sound. Perhaps this would be the file name you're looking for.

checked , negative >"<

Here is another twist for you. On Cog 4.4.2 my default notification is NOTHING. It doesn't make any sound at all.

All I can say at this point is to play every notification/ringtone file on your phone and see if you can find it.

Listening to the sample I believe this is the one you're looking for.

If it's not then let me know and I'll find the right one.

I'm not sure if it varies by ROM but that specific one that I found was in "framework-res\res\raw\fallbackring.ogg".
