Help how do i install custom ringtones

welll this is my issue im trying to put a ringtone on huaweii its 30 seconds long but it appears on my music folder when im playing music ...is there a way how to keep your ringtone with out being on your music playlist like making a folder in a certain way

On your sd card make a folder structure like this:

media\audio\ringtones

put your ringtone files in there and they will show as options in your contacts.

I tried that and it didnt work.. the way I did it was I stuck the SD card from the phone to my computer, opened to view folders, and I tired creating a folder in this order media\audio\ringtones and the coputer said I cant use those charactors "\".. what is it that im doing wrong here? lol also could I assign ringtones for certain notifications, such as face book, e-mail and such individually or no? thank you for your help :) I greatly appreciate it.

When you put the sd card in your computer and open the base folder, right click open space of the window (not over a file or folder name) and from the flyout menu choose new>folder. Name it media. Then double click on the media folder and right click in blank folder and repeat the process ... right-click new>folder and this time name it audio. One more time, double click on the audio folder you just created and right-click new>folder ringtones. Open this folder and put your ringtones there.

lol also could I assign ringtones for certain notifications, such as face book, e-mail and such individually or no? thank you for your help :) I greatly appreciate it.

If you want specific sounds to be treated as notifications rather than ringtones, in the folder on the sd card called audio that you created above, create a folder called notifications and place those sounds there.

You should see the following structure if the drive letter of your sd card is "E:"

Code:
E:\ --
       |
       |
        --media
              |
              |
               --audio
                    |
                    |
                     --notifications
                    |
                    |
                     --ringtones
