Custom ringtones do and do not appear? Help please.

[Dark_Forge99]

Hey, I recently got my Droid X and as I thought, this thing is a fantastic piece of equipment

HOWEVER, I'm having trouble with getting my custom ringtones to appear. They do, but not in all options I suppose. What I mean is, I can set my custom ringtones to play when X person calls, but I can't choose those same custom ringtones to play when I select which ringtone to play for incoming text messages.

Hopefully what I just said makes sense. I went into my microSD card, created the following path inside of Removable Storage -> /media/ringtones/. Correct me if I did anything wrong?

If the X is like the Droid1 you can't, by default, customize txt ringtones. Download handcent (full messaging app) or ringolite (ringtone customizer) to accomplish txt msg customization.

Edit: Comprehension fail. For txt messages, the sounds need to be in /media/notifications I believe.

Hm, I'm reading reviews on Ringolite and it seems to have mixed reviews. All of the bad reviews complain about lag, erasure of previous ringtones, and plays wrong ringtones/switches them up.

So I can access my custom ringtones through my phone. I can set them to contacts, but I can't set one for incoming text messages, so I need an application for this.


HHHMMMMMMMMMM...:dry:

Download ASTRO File Manager from the Android Marketplace and try to find the ringtone. From there you should be able to do whatever you need to.
