1. First connect your Android phone to the computer, via USB cable.

2. Mount your phone’s SD card to the computer.

3. Create a new folder call “alarms” (without the quotes) in the main directory of the SD card.

4. Copy all your favorite alarm clock ringtones to the folder.

5. Unmount the card.

6. Start the alarm clock app. You should now see your favorite ringtone in the selection field.

The same trick can also apply to the call ringtone and notification tone. Simply create two folders, “ringtones” and “notifications” and place the songs in them. They will appear in the respective settings of your phone.
