How to use Ringdroid

We need volunteers to help write this page. Please email ringdroid-support@google.com if you can help!

Put songs on your SD card

The first step is to copy songs onto your SD card. Connect your handset to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Your handset will now appear on your computer just like a disk, CD-ROM, flash drive, or external disk would. Copy MP3 files and other audio files to your SD card, and then unmount the drive and disconnect the USB cable.

Download songs from the Amazon MP3 store

Use the Amazon MP3 application to purchase music. Any MP3 purchased via Amazon can be edited using Ringdroid.

Edit songs using Ringdroid

After you've copied songs to your handset, you can edit them using Ringdroid. Open Ringdroid, and the first screen

Save your edited sound

Set your default ringtone

Set the ringtone for a contact

Set an alarm sound

Set a notification sound

Record new sounds

Is there a way to delete a ringtone directly from your phone without using the usb cable?

Comment by pflory, Oct 28, 2008

You can delete mp3 files from the built-in Music app. Is that what you're looking for?

Comment by gdub.com, Oct 31, 2008

Every time I try to start using this app I click on a song and it just says: The Ringdroid (process com.ringdroid has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Then I get prompted to do a force close. Is this happening to any one else?

Comment by Deaden1, Nov 14, 2008

Ringdroid only allows me to edit songs downloaded from Android Market. How do i access my mp3 on the SD card?

Comment by txchag69, Nov 28, 2008

Comment by jodijo187, Dec 23, 2008

I still cannot get all my songs in ringdroid, anyone else having this problem? If you can help me let me know. jodijo187

Comment by john.p.germann, Jan 11, 2009

"ERROR WRITING FILE" - Solution - Use Audacity (or whatever) to convert your file to 44100Hz Mp3. Using Audacity, I downloaded LAME v 3.98 ("lame_enc.dll") then pointed Audacity to the .dll through the File Format preferences and then manually change the project rate to 44100Hz (lower left corner of Audacity). When you drop your audio files into Audacity, just Export Multiple as MP3s and your good. I hope that makes sense and works for everyone else. I'm having no trouble making ringtones with RingDroid? now.

Comment by jcrowe1947, Jan 28, 2009

I cannot figure out how to save part of a song as a ringtone. I have followed the directions as closely as I can but I'm not doing something right because its not working. Can you help me?

Comment by fresh2death1015, Jan 28, 2009

WHY DOES THAT "ERROR WRITING FILE" MESSAGE KEEPS COMING ON. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE APP EVERYTHING WAS FINE BUT AFTER I SAVED THREE RINGTONES THAT MESSAGE KEPT COMING ON..WHAT DO I DO?

Comment by juliehberry, Feb 02, 2009

Comment by BRazYEBAGz, Mar 02, 2009

HOW COME ALL MA SONGS I DOWNLOAD DON'T SHOW UP IN RINGDROID

Comment by aaronj808, Mar 09, 2009

How do u delete ringtones u don't want anymore?

Comment by tompolley, Mar 17, 2009

This will be a great program when it's out of the rough draft phase, but until then, it's just taking up space. Error messages on save, force quits, doesn't find all my mp3s, and worst of all, it cuts off the first and last few seconds of every mp3. I'll definitely use this when it's fully baked, but until then, thanks but no thanks.

Comment by shiadalu, Mar 21, 2009

Yeah dude this thing must not read .wav like it says it does cause it doesn't see any thing on my sd. All I see is a search bar and a record button. Then when I type in the search bar there's no launch button so it just sit there...... is this a kereoke ring tone maker?

Comment by blehmann1319, Mar 25, 2009

this app won't recognize any songs on my SD card, and the only available actions are "Record New" and the "About" menu, what am I doing wrong?

Comment by letthelarksingfreely, May 24, 2009

so i load music to the phone but i cant cut and edit the music that i load myself. i have to use another app to load music to my phone and then cut it. lame.

Comment by n04betty, May 27, 2009

everytime a try to make a ringtone it says erroe writting file & some songs i uploaded to my phone did not show up on my ringdriod application how do i get them to pop up?

Comment by roxx214, Jun 15, 2009

i have no problems creating ringtones using the songs i have saved to my sd card, however, not all my songs are available on ringdroid. how can i view all my music using this app?

Comment by sarahweirdntall, Jun 15, 2009

I really don't understand why Ringdroid isn't finding my 6 songs on my sd card... has ANYONE had Ringdroid find their wav file songs? it simply isn't working for me...

Comment by dwnt...@hotmail.com, Jun 29, 2009

This app is bullshit. If it doesn't work, free doesn't matter. What the fuck is with this thing?

Comment by j.cabato408, Aug 07, 2009

Works great for me. Awesome app to make your own ringtones.

Comment by j.cabato408, Aug 07, 2009

Another thing. To delete the song you don't want anymore all you gotta do is LONG PRESS ON THE SONG YOU DON'T WANT..

Comment by scott.joshua714, Sep 06, 2009

Yeah all I get is error and all of my music is mp3

Comment by rivera.elysia, Sep 15, 2009

Comment by q2mobile, Sep 22, 2009

Since I created a file using Ringdroid, then saving it as a Notification tone, after selecting Set as Default, in system settings, under Notification settings, I can no longer change any of the settings, its stuck at the ring I created using Ringdroid, PLEASE HELP.

Ringdroid has a problem in reading Traditional Chinese file name (but ending with extension.mp3). Could this language support feature be added in future release? Thanks!
