Help Can someone please post the default ringtones and notifications for download

I heard someone else here in the office that had a great ringtone on her HTC incredible. It sounded like Chinese wind chimes. When I asked, she said it was one of the default tones. Any chance of someone posting the pre loaded tones for the Incredible?

Never mind, I just found the tone in the pack already linked in this thread! Thanks.

I've been searching the forum but nobody seems to know the answer, so let me try to ask it a different way:

Does anybody know, in taking an EVO out of the box, where are the ringtones stored by default? Without having to create this here and move this there. :thinking:
They are stored in

/system/media/audio

However an out of box EVO doesn't have permissions to write there if that's what you're trying to do.

I am an HTC Incredible user but would like to compare or see if the HTC Evo has different default ringtones and notifications. Can someone with an Evo please post them for download? Thanks in advance.

I know the name of one site that has good collection of wind chimes sound. Trust me, the wind chimes sound is gentler as well as soothing to the ears and also providing a peaceful background sound while working or playing. You can search these types of ringtone on YouTube. YouTube have good collection of different types of wind chimes sound.

Is the above ONLY for rooted phones? please clarify as i cannot access those via USB on my DroidX .

Yes the above path can only be accessed with a rooted device. You can save any notification sound or ringtone to your sd card and the phone can use it. Create a folder tree like this:
Media / Audio / Notifications Ringtones (2 seperate folders).

Place the files in the appropriate folder and the phone will show them. :)

You can also download the stock rooted Rom, then open the zip file with 7zip and navigate to the folder shown in the path above, then simply drag and drop the files or the entire folder to your desktop to get the stock ringtones and notification sounds. ;)

Thank you so much for trying to help me! I wish that was it --- I had found that one but this was a very short (very similar to above) alert that I used as a text notification. It was distinctive and I thought it was called "Riff" ... can't find it ANYWHERE! I do know it was on my Evo --- and actually thought it was on Android prior to that but I can't remember the name of that phone.
