I dont really know where to put this thread. So mods feel free to move it.

I didnt really care for any of the stock ring tones on the N9, and I had a ring tone on my N97 that was the sound played on Star Trek TNG when the shuttle bay doors would start to open. The problem here is the N9 only lets you shop for new tones, or pull them out of your music.

I had put up with this on my N97, occasionally hearing this tone while listening to music because I had searched high and low how to put this tone and not have it imported into the music library.

Is there anyway to put this Mp3 file on my N9 so that it will see it in the Ringtones list, but not end up in the Music player?

Thanks a ton

I used Filebox and allowed root files to be seen and hidden files, then found my way to home/user/ring-tones (not the folder with ringtones without the dash) and those sound files don't ever show up in my Music app. Hope that helps dude

/usr/share/sounds/ring-tones/

thanks guys. So if you drop a mp3 file there it will show up in the list in the sounds and vibration?

Thanks

i tried to drop it there, but it said

"You don't have permission to proceed"

Does anybody know how to get permission? will going into developer mode solve this?

copy them via terminal w/root

use cp command

I'd recommend putting them in /home/user/.ring-tones and not in /usr/share/sounds/ring-tones
