i will have to wait until i get mine in the mail tomorrow from cnet but there are many apps that deal with the ringtones in the android section... once you get to the 80 post rank you will have access to the android apps which are in the thousands when including games :)

or do it , the traditional way to what i did is in your sd card create a folder like" My Ringtone" and put your favorite ring-tone in that folder and in settings you can retrieve it from there.Also the same in notification.

word and the cool thing with the eris as you know our version of the hero is that i comes with a 16 gig card which is going to be bad ass.... do you happen to know if the hero root process is the same for the droid eris?

i am trying to do this now. i did the whole folder thing. brought the mp3 file i had sent to my phone from a website. and it doesn't show up. hmmm.

okay so i figured it out. i had to put the file in the already existing media folder/audio. and it worked that way. but the new folder ringtone did not work for me.

correction upon moving it to that folder (the media folder) i can now choice the ring tone for text messages. but it doesn't play. it plays the default sound when i have my ringtone checked.

okay when i set the tone to notifications it only goes off for voicemails. that is what i've figured out so far. i will try changing it to .mov later this week and see what happens.

aight let us know if you would, i havent had the time to check and the stockers are good for me right now.... i like the simple and normal ones because face it, you odnt want a song, or unprofessional mms, sms, ringtone, voicemail tone etc going off at work or in a certain situation that could be emabarasing.
