What Ringdroid is

Ringdroid is a free Android app for recording and editing sounds directly on a handset, including ringtone creation. Its editor displays a scrollable waveform at five zoom levels. Users set start and end points to select a clip, play it, and save the result as Music, Ringtone, Alarm, or Notification audio. New recordings can be made on the handset and edited, and a ringtone can be assigned directly to a contact. The project lists MP3, AAC/MP4, WAV, 3GPP/AMR, and OGG formats. Ringdroid can open in response to another app’s audio GET_CONTENT request so that app can use it to choose an audio file. The FAQ says it searches the device’s SD card and does not edit WMA. Permissions cover contacts, system settings, external storage, and the microphone. The official open-source distribution contains no advertisements, while the GitHub repository is archived and read-only.
