    Notification Alert - Custom sound possible?

    I dragged some ringtones I had on my Tour onto my Droid. I am able to use them for the phone, but I am trying to customize the notification alerts and the only options that it's giving me are the ones that come with the phone. Any ideas how to change that?

    If I recall correctly you can select what you want to hear and long press or hit the menu then "Set as".

    That will put it as a ringtone, but I'm not able to get at them to use them for email or text notifications.

    Maybe they need to be in a different directory. Try creating a directory named notifications on your card and put them in there. Maybe that would work. I'll try playing around with it later when I get some time.

    Ring droid allows you to create notification sounds.

    That worked for me. So I have two folders (ringtones and notifications) with the same tunes in them, but it works.

    Go into whatever app you want to set a notification for and set it there from the menu option.. I have one for each e-mail account and for chat too (meebo) you can set them all different if you like.
