Bit the Bullet..

Thank you.. I did find that and was wondering why people don't seem to use it much.

OK.. one very basic question... how do I set individual ring tones for people and can I use mp3 ring tones from my datacard?

I haven't figured that one out yet.

There are lots of apps in the Market that can do that (for free). You may have to install a custom SMS app to do the custom ringtones... I've never once use the stock one, so I don't know if it supports that. Some common (and good) SMS apps are GO SMS and Handcent.

I found where to apply custom ring tones, just have to figure out how to get my mp3 ones into the list. I'm sure there is a folder somewhere I have to copy them to

Forgive the noobishness here but where is the task killer u are talking about

I found where to load my tones. I had to copy them into two folders. Notifications for txt tones and ringtones for calls.

The task manager is what is native on the phone for your task killer

I was looking for this elusive "ringtones" folder, but my phone doesn't even have it. Mine has on the internal sdcard: media/audio/notifications but no ringtones folder. Also there is only one file in the notifications folder. Do I make another folder called "ringtones" or is there somewhere else I need to navigate to?

edit:
My phone isn't rooted and won't be, if that makes a difference.

I put a folder on my data card
/media/audio/ringtones
/notifications

Then move your tones into those folders.
Ringtones for caller tones
Notification for txt and msg tones

Reboot the phone and it should start to find them.

Just silly to me though that it had to be two folders.

*my phone isn't rooted either. No custom launchers either.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for getting this thread off track.

I wound up just making a folder on my ext sdcard called ringtones and when I disconnected my phone from my pc and went to the sounds settings, the ringtones I downloaded were all there, without a reboot. Was really surprised the phone found them immediately.
