After this, the selected ringtone will be set as the standard one and will be played when there is an incoming call.
If you are not satisfied with standard ringtones and want to use your own melody, then this melody must first be loaded into the device memory and placed in the /media/audio/ringtones/ folder.

Articles and Lifehacks
Modern mobile devices equipped with flash cards delight their owners with the opportunity to significantly expand the memory capacity, including for downloading and listening to music. In addition, many users, especially those who have completed, are interested in how to remove native ringtones from your cellular device.
The possibility of expanding the memory depends on which particular phone model we use, since they are all designed for various cards memory.
Well, what should we do if our mobile device and doesn't support memory cards at all? In this case, the issue of finding additional megabytes becomes quite pressing, and deleting standard ringtones and gaming applications will come in handy.
As you know, there is never too much memory on a mobile device. Its owner regularly faces the question of what else to remove. Unfortunately, getting rid of standard ringtones is not so easy. How to do this?
Instructions for deleting native phone ringtones
First, go to the menu, look for a section with standard melodies and sound signals, and then try to delete them in the usual way. Unfortunately, not all models of mobile devices allow this.
If you cannot delete the standard melody on our device in the usual way, proceed to the following steps. We look for USB drivers included with the phone and install them on the computer. There may also be programs for synchronization; Let's install them too.
If installation disk and data cable are missing, we purchase them separately and perform the indicated actions.
We connect the mobile device to the PC via a USB cable, as when using pictures from, and perform synchronization. Launch the installed software and open with desktop computer menu with standard melodies. We remove them directly from there.
Some models of cellular devices do not allow you to delete native ringtones using a PC, but they allow you to replace them with smaller files. We create files and rename them in the same way as standard ringtones are called (not forgetting the extension). We copy them, replacing the original melodies.
But how to remove native melodies if all the described methods turned out to be useless? As a last resort, you can try to re-flash your mobile device.
Phone firmware to remove native ringtones
Obviously, it is best to entrust this operation to professionals and contact service center.
However, provided you have certain skills, you can do this yourself - however, there will still be a risk of causing irreparable damage to your mobile device.
Today on the Internet you can find any firmware we need without standard pictures, melodies and gaming applications. At the same time, we check that it matches our phone model.
Special software is used for firmware. If you still have even the slightest doubt about your own abilities, it is better not to take risks and do as described above - contact a specialist who will perform the necessary manipulations for a very reasonable amount.
Android is so customizable operating system, that you can even change the standard sounds in it to any others. You can cut or record sounds yourself, or download them somewhere. The procedure for replacing sounds is quite simple, but you will need a smartphone or tablet with root rights and custom recovery.
You can download libraries with sounds, for example, on the page d-h.st/users/justen7723. There are cuts of sound effects from popular films, games and standard sounds from some smartphone models (LG G2, HTC One and Oppo N1).
1. Download any set of sounds and copy the zip file, without unpacking, to the device memory. Remember where this file is located.
2. Install Root Explorer or another file manager with access to system directories, launch it, go to the system/media/audio/ui folder and copy its contents to a safe place. It stores the system sounds of your device. Suddenly you want to restore them.
3. Turn off your smartphone or tablet and start it in recovery mode. Among the options offered, select installing a zip file from a memory card or from the internal memory of the device (depending on where the library with new sounds was copied).
4. Find the zip file you downloaded earlier, flash it and restart your device.
That's it, new sounds should now begin to sound. If you don't like them, you can install a different sound library or restore your previous audio files. To restore, use the file manager: go to the system/media/audio/ui folder and copy the previously saved files into it. After copying is complete, make sure that the permissions on the sound folder are rw-r--r--. This is necessary to prevent some application from accidentally erasing these files.
