Each device running a particular operating system offers a standard set of melodies and ringtones that can be used to set a call or alert. Often, users want to go beyond the options presented and, fortunately, the Android OS allows you to do this in many ways. This function is implemented especially simply in Samsung devices from the top segment.
Regardless of whether the user knows what specific melody he wants to hear or simply wants to expand the choice, this task can be accomplished in very simple ways, which will be discussed below.
What do you need to set a Ringtone on an Honor Ring?
The instructions in this guide are known to work on Samsung, Xiaomi, Sony, Redmi, LG, Nokia and others running TouchWiz with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean or higher. The options presented above work with most Android devices and shells.
You don't need root access on your phone either. This guide will also be useful for those who have a rooted phone. Only provided that your smartphone runs at least Android 4.1 with standard TouchWiz. The procedures may be slightly different, especially if your phone has a memory card installed or is using a different version of Android.
You should also note in advance that the MP3 files you want to use should already be on your phone. There are many ways to copy MP3 files to your phone, one of them will be described in detail in the chapter “Method 5. Via Computer via USB”. We will also consider those methods where the user does not know what melody he wants to set and expects to find a suitable option in a special application.
In other words, here you can find a “from and to” guide to choosing, downloading and installing a custom ringtone on your smartphone. So let's get started.
Installing Ringtones on Huawei Through the “Settings” Section – Method #1
To set an MP3 file as a custom ringtone for Android system, you need to follow these steps:
- Copy MP3 files to your phone. The standard Samsung Music Player application should recognize and see the files. Check if the music tracks have appeared in the Music Player application;
- Go to Settings > Sound > Device Ringtone. You will see a list of default phone ringtones;
- Click the “Add” button to launch the media manager application. If you have multiple file and media management apps installed on your phone, select Music Player from the pop-up window;
- You will see a list of music files stored on your phone. Select the one you need and click Finish.
The MP3 ringtone you selected will now be set as your ringtone. Repeat the same process to add other tracks to the list of default ringtones.
Change notification tone in EMUI
Finally, sound customization options are also available for other system notifications. We can create a notification for everything that reaches us on the mobile phone, although later we can change the sound in Huawei to our liking individually. In this case, you need to tap the audio settings in your device's Notifications. This does not change from before because we can choose between the same message sound tones, although we recommend that you do not set the same ones so that they can be easily distinguished.
What we can also change to recognize this earlier is the vibration system and it must be taken into account that in this case we can only set new sounds as a warning and at the moment this does not work with video.
How to Install Music on Huawei in the Contacts Application - Method #2
Sometimes it becomes necessary to distinguish a certain contact from the rest by means of a special call, so that it is immediately clear who the call is coming from. Setting a ringtone for a specific contact is possible through the “Contacts” settings menu:
- Launch the Contacts application and open the contact information page;
- Scroll down until you see the Ringtones section. Click on it and a dialog box will appear with three options:
- Default – use the default melody;
- Ringtones – select a melody for a specific contact;
- Go to “My Files” to select a ringtone file;
- Select “Go to my files” and find the MP3 file you want;
- Select an MP3 file and tap Done.
Using Third Party Applications on Huawei for Ringtone – Method #3
Another way to set a specific sound for a call is to use third-party applications. This can be done through the ringtone manager or editor application.
Ringtone Maker
One such application is Ringtone Maker . This program allows you to trim a music file and set it as a ringtone or notification:
- Install the free ad-supported Ringtone Maker
- Run the downloaded file;
- All music files will be displayed in a list. You need to find the desired music file;
- Click on the green button next to the name of the file you want to edit. The settings menu will appear;
- Select Edit to edit the music file;
- On the next screen, move the sliders to determine the area to crop;
- You can also set fade-out effects or adjust the volume level. The app also allows you to paste the trimmed file into another MP3 track;
- When you are satisfied with the changes, click the Save button.
- Here you are asked to choose whether to save the file as a ringtone, notification, alarm, or simple track. Also give the new cut track a name;
- Click Save.
Developers offer a great variety of such applications, and the logic of each software’s actions is similar to that described above. However, using such a program is not always necessary; in some modern models, the user can select the moment to start playback directly through the settings menu. This feature is available on all Samsung models running Android 8 and higher.
Zedge
There are many sites and other resources where you can find ringtones, but the easiest and most common is Zedge. Zedge is a personalization app that lets you personalize your phone the way you want, including ringtones and wallpaper. Zedge even simplifies the process by allowing you to download and set a ringtone as part of using the app.

The use of the application is optimized so that any user can work with it, regardless of the level of gadget proficiency. If questions may arise with the application described above, then with Zedge everything is as simple and accessible as possible. The search here is carried out by category, you just need to type the desired value, for example, “ringing sound of an old phone” and all the tracks that fit this description will be displayed here.
Next you need to perform a few basic steps:
- In the middle of the screen, where the melody information is located, there is an “Install” button that you need to click.
- Next, the “Set ringtone” button will appear;
- Click “Allow” to allow Zedge to download the ringtone to your phone's memory;
- After that, go to “Settings” to allow Zedge to change system settings, including the ringtone.
At the bottom of the screen you will see a pop-up notification that the ringtone has been applied. If you want to set a ringtone for a specific contact or as a notification tone for messages, you can select these options all from the same settings menu.
A nice bonus is that this application also provides wallpapers for smartphones, so it will be useful not only for those who want to set a custom ringtone, but also background images for their device.
Popular apps for listening to music
The Google Play application is distinguished by a variety of add-ons and programs that are used to listen to and save tracks in good quality. The most popular of which are:
- In contact with.
Many programs and sites have been developed to download melodies from VK. One of which is downloadmusicvk.ru. This site allows the user to download their audio files without entering a login and password. All you need to do is log in to your page.
- Classmates.
To use this method of downloading files, you will need one of the special programs that can be downloaded from Google Play.
- Telegram.
When using the Telegram channel, music tracks are downloaded after clicking the icon located next to the selected track (arrow in a blue circle).
- Sound Cloud.
To download through this site, you will need the ru.savefrom.net add-on. To save melodies, copy the link to the track you like and press the Download button.
- Facebook.
When using this add-on, the ru.savefrom.net assistant is also required. The link to the melody is copied, then wait for the download to finish.
- Yandex.Music.

This add-on is also free. With it you can listen to and download the music you like. It also contains commercials and is designed in English. But the application is quite simple to use, and the controls are very easy to understand.
Install Ringtone on Huawei Using Music Player – Method #4
Sometimes Android allows you to install your favorite MP3 ringtone by using the Music Player application. This is done in the following way:
- Find and play your desired MP3 music file in Music Player app;
- While playing a file, press the “Menu” button to open “Options” (usually located at the top of the screen);
- Click on “Set as” and choose whether you want to set the track as a phone ringtone, ringtone for a specific caller, or alarm.
Some tracks can be used as an alert signal in the same way, but this function is not always available, because much depends on the file format, its weight, duration and capabilities of the smartphone OS itself.
Unlike ringtones, you can't always directly set an MP3 file as a notification through the Settings menu or the Music Player app. You must manually configure the music file to use it as a notification. Here's how to do it:
- Copy the required MP3 files to your phone;
- Launch a file manager application on your phone (for example, the My Files application, ES File Explorer, etc.);
- Find the MP3 file you want and copy it to the notifications directory in your phone's internal storage (usually /storage/sdcard0). If you don't find the notification directory, create it manually before copying the MP3 file into it;
- Return to the main screen and open the settings menu;
- Go to Sound > Device Notifications and select the recently added MP3 file from the list.
This rule is especially relevant for outdated versions of the Android OS; now developers are trying to move away from such difficulties, and therefore do not separate sound files into those that can be used as notifications or calls.
Can I put my own audio recording?
The capabilities of the smartphone allow you to set your own melody. This can be done using the Files section. Go through these steps:
- Enter the folder of the same name.
- Go to the Audio section.
- Find your own melody, for example, recorded on a voice recorder or downloaded from another source.
- Click on the melody on Honor and hold it until the menu appears at the bottom.
- Click on the three dots (More).
- Select Install as...
- Set - for SIM 1 / SIM 2 or notifications.
If we are talking about setting your own melody, you can use other methods that are discussed above. The main thing is that the file has the appropriate resolution and is in the smartphone folder.
