Hi all. How do I select custom ringtones as reminder for the stock calendar? The only notification options I can find are notifications that I can't even find in a directory search (such as "peanut", tickety-tock" and "on time") - they don't show up on any search (with My Files and ES File Explorer).

Thank you.

The stock ones are probably in a system folder, which you won't be able to see with a file browser unless you are rooted.

In general with Android if you put custom notification tones in /sdcard/Notifications then the notification picker will find them there (same as custom ringtones go in /sdcard/Ringtones). Remember that the folder name is case-sensitive (Android is based on the Linux kernel, and Linux filenames are case-sensitive).

Aha! I just copied the sound I wanted into my notification folder and it showed up! Thank you so much!
