Copy your ringtones files to the PhoneMemory at
\system\media\audio\ringtones

These files should now be listed in your list of ringtones.

Other than these, you may try installing some market app and set them as alert tones.

How can I navigate to Phone Memory.. When i click My Files .. I am able to c only SD card option... plz help...

Use root explorer to navigate phone memory

Swift-R

Whenever I try to paste an mp3 file in that ringtones directory using root explorer, it gives me a message saying the file (folder) is read only.

Sargun

Before pasting the mp3 file,mount ringtone directory as r/w mode (read and writable) by pressing the button on the right corner on the screen.

I rooted my phone with Superoneclick.. Pasted the mp3 file in the \system\media\audio\ringtones........... But no use..
I am not able to view the mp3 file from settings for selecting the tone...

Follow this procedure... Its working

Create a new folder in /sdcard/Media as 'Notifications' paste the mp3 file in this...

Reboot your mobile... remove the battery and keep aside for few seconds.. and switch it on...

You will now see the MP3 file in Message Tones..

Manual Trick

1. Open My Files menu on your android phone
2. Create new folder on SD Card root and rename to " Notifications "
3. Open Mp3 file and move to folder " Notifications "
4. Check on the Notifications tone Setting, your own Mp3 will appear.

No need to root your phone. You just have to have the specific folder for each type of sound.

Go to "Menu",click on "My files", and within the sdcard, create a folder named "Sounds"

/sdcard/Sounds

1. For Alarms, create a folder named "Alarms" within that directory. Copy/move here the sounds you want as your alarm.
2. Likewise for Ringtones, create a folder named 'Ringtones", and copy/move here your preferred music
3. Lastly, for Notifications, create a folder named "Notifications", and copy/move here your preferred notification sound

So, basically, within your sdcard, you have these directories:

sdcard/Sounds/Alarms
sdcard/Sounds/Ringtones
sdcard/Sounds/Notifications

When you choose ringtone for phone/notifications in your Settings, the music you included in those directories should appear.

For Alarms, go to Clock, Add alarm, and then there's an option to change the alarm Ringtone there.
