How do I choose an MP3/WAV file for Incoming SMS alert?

I guess the title pretty much sums up my question but just to let you know what I've done so far I'll explain fully.
I've been dropping my audio files into the 'Rings' directory for my ringtones without problem. I can then assign these with Start-->Settings-->Phone.
However my dilemma arises when I wish to use a personal audio file as my incoming SMS tone. I've tried copying these to both 'Rings' and also to 'My Music' (although anywhere would be ok I'm sure?). When I try to select an audio file from Start-->Sounds & Notifications-->Notifications I can't see any of my audio files in the 'Event' list to choose for 'Messagin: New Text Message'.
Can you help? Thx in advance.
ROM : 1.40.00 WWE
Radio : 1.12.00
EXT : 1.40.176 WWE

Try reading the instruction manual..
Start\Sounds & Notifications\Notifications Tab\
User drop down menu to get to Messaging: New Next Message.. Make sure the 'Tick Box' is filled in and use drop down menu to change sound.
If you desire a custom sound, put custom .wma sound into "Windows" on PPC.
Hope this helps..?
Cheers!

After searching for the present notification samples (namely Alarm1, Alarm2 etc...) and finding these within the windows directory of the handset I simply decided I'd store my audio files in the 'Windows' directory to see if they appeared in the 'Event' list.
Tada! I now have funky audio files for my incoming SMS tone. Hope this helps anyone else having difficulty with this problem.

Try reading my post j/k
As I mentioned I can change the Event sound for Windows actions but I want a personal audio file to be used instead. I since worked it out but you managed to get your reply in before I posted mine
I haven't got a manual btw it was an eBay PDA2K purchase and came with no manual a little annoying being a PPC noob but easy enough to use anyway. Just need to find some regedit tools now and see what's really under the bonnet!

It's not got everything but try here.. It's on the T-Mobile UK site..
http://www.manuals.t-mobile.co.uk/start.asp?manual=844

The online manual is VERY HANDY, thanks for that link *bookmarked*
I'll probably d/l the pages and reference images to use offline incase T-Mobile suddenly decide to remove the pages one day (knowing my luck this week).
I'm actually unable to register fully with http://www.clubimate.com as the PDA2K is pre-owned and consequently I need to pay $59.99 to get access to updates and downloads. Which unfortunately for me includes manuals and ROM upgrades. So again I can't thank you enough for the MDAIII link
You are a star!

I wouldn't worry about the clubimate registration as, if required, an i-mate ROM update would proabably be posted in here..
Regarding the Manual, it's probably best to made it usable off-line as I'm not too sure how long the On-line manual will be available.. They've recently stopped selling the MDA3, you know!
Enjoy the BA!

suggestion to the users: please make sure that you're either using 1.14 or 1.15 radio with this ROM in order to avoid the 'notification' problem
If you like my work, do consider donating me It took many working hours of mine

Looks very nice. I'm using the WM6 roms but if I happen to consider rolling back to WM5 I'll definitely try this one.
Question: Do sim contacts appear as regular contacts in this rom? I had a problem with the latest O2 rom that I could only access sim contacts through the sim manager.

How about video call???

About the black theme. Could you be so kind as to look into the following registry and let us know the DECIMAL VALUE you used to make it so black. Please.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\"BaseHue" (Decimal Value)

very nice WM5 rom~
i can tell, this is the best rom i hv ever seen
bt sound quality can be perfectly compare with WM6
but if u can restore those icon like the battery status,comm manager, screen rotation, that will be more convenient for me
anyway , perfect roms, thanks !

i use KDSkamal WM6 Beautifull Edition. It is pure perfection !!!
there are some minore problems with the secured wi-fi, bluetooth headsets, but i love it and i will stick to it.
this WM5 should have everything working, right?
we should be able to use video call, add new email account, browse secured wi-fi, use bluetooth hendsfree, use voice dial etc, right?
is it 100% working, just like an official WM5 upgrade?

Restoring them is very easy. If you do a simple reading at the universal wiki, you may be able to find that out by simply changing some values in the registry.

please help

Change standard alarm sound

Hi there,
I can't figure out how to change the regular/standard alarm sound to one of my own. I did manage to change the SMS sound to one of my own, so I thought that the procedure would be the same. Putting the mp3 in the \Windows directory, but that doesn't work.
I did see that all the alarm sounds are either .WMA or .WAV, so I changed my alarm sound to a .WMA and put it again in the \Windows directory, doesn't work either!!!
I have this personal wake up sound with my name in it and I'd like that to be my alarm sound, does anyone know how I can do that?
Where do I have to put the audio file?
Any help is much appreciated!
Rgds,
Albert
Edit: I just tried adding the .WAV audio and now I can see it in the alarm sounds, but when I chose my sound it just jumps back to the default sound, not letting me chose my personal sound. Oh this is so frustrating........I hope someone can help me......

you can try Pocket Wakeup... with it you can use mp3 files... it's so cool!

Your file can only be so long, not sure what the link is but shorten it, that should fix your problem

...or pTravelAlarm!

Thanks for the replies.
I'll give those 2 programs a try since I don't want to shorten my audio file......
It's 6-7 seconds long (don't really remember) and basicly it's a tune that says my name and tells me that's it's time to wake up.....hehe...
I'll let you guys know if I managed to fix my prob.....
Edit: Ok I just installed pTravelAlarm v2.7.3 and [MOD EDIT: Don't Mention WAREZ]
Now I've my mp3 file as my alarm......perfect!!
I couldn't find the pocket wakeup to download........I got this french site and it didn't work.....
but don't need it anymore........pTravelAlarm works great and I like the fact that it uses
big number and the stop and snooze buttons are big enough to push with the finger.
Thanks Athanaso77

So here is the keygen for v2.7.3, just download it and use this keygen.

Increase Incall Volume for Tilt2???

Attached below are all files/cabs ive tried and none doing any better then the other. Sure the bluetooth volume is increased as well as the speaker on the back of the phone, but looking to also have the small speaker (that you normally use to listen to the other person, one on the front of the phone) to increase since its still low even at the max level! Any ideas? Ive tried installing the full audio boost cab, then the tilt2 specific cab (anyone know what the difference is here?), then copied and overwrote the audiopara3 file in windows, soft reset, even tried a soft reset inbetween each process and still no good. Any ideas?

Try the files I attached, and then reset the phone before attempting, also make sure the volume is all the way up before testing incalls.
Files included are:
AudioPara3_AttMax (Directly into Windows folder)
Bluetooth Line Speed.cereg (Import to Phone Registry. I used CE RegEditor)
Modified Incall Loud Settings (2 Locations)
Ring Setting
I take no credit for the Mods.
Reboot and try it out.
Works on an ATT Tilt 2 with EU Rom Stock. (USA)

These actually do work quite well! I think better then all the above i posted! Anyway to get this in cab form? Kind of a hassle each time i flash a new rom to have to use the desktop ce reg program to import these values each time. Cab would be much nicer if at all possible? Thank you

Made a cab of his settings for anyone that wants to try it ..
Increase Volume.cab
Also here is one that seems to work for me ..
Audio_FINAL1.0_PRO2.cab

Warlock, U beat me to it, but I looked at your file, and seems you made some changes, which aren't my settings, probably to make it work with yours, but I appreciate you making one. I've upped mine as well, which is exactly the same thing as the zip folder just in cab form as requested.

So which ones do what?
This is getting confusing. We now have all these CABS. Much appreciated but which ones do what? Is there just ONE that will increase the speaker volume and earpiece volume and do they also affect the ring-tone volume? I don't know how to compare them all. Can you help clarify please?

Download the files attached to my first post if you dont mind editing the registry. And add the CSV file into the windows folder. If you do not like to mess with the registry, then download my cab file attached to my post and it will install and if you dont like it you can uninstall it from remove programs.
Warlock as nice enough made a cab file, but looking at it seems to have changes in his, so as not to confuse anyone my set of files work. But remember you must install the AudioPara3_ATTMax in the windows folder of the phone.

hey angeldeath, i modified your cab file to include the audiopara file as well.
look on next page for volume cab

Thanks xredjokerx I didnt know how to do that LOL (Aint that sad?)

Thank you everyone, awesome work! Love it when great minds come together. Ill try this one first since these files are the ones that did the trick for me the first time. Any ideas on if i installed this cab, then installed warlock's second cab he posted? I think his first cab is just a mix of these files but his second cab is said to be different. Any ideas on that?

This cab doesnt seem to work. Just took a nap and woke up 20min late cus my device had no sound! I installed this cab, soft reset, now phone has zero sound when u adjust the volume with side hard keys in volume control, alarm clock, stuff like that theres zero sound!

Winner!

tried the increase volume cab, soft reset, checked all sounds on device and all working perfect and much louder! Im not hard of hearing, just my work environment can be very loud at times and moving around a lot i dont always feel my phone vibrate so i need a loud ringer and very loud earpiece as well!
I also installed the second cab (audio_final), soft reset, tested all sounds and all working fine.
To warlock, whats the difference between the first cab u put together and the second cab? Is it best to install both as i did or use one or the other?

I would use just one ..
try it .. if it works great .. if not uninstall it.
try the other ..
if it works great .. if not uninstall it.

Sounds good. Was just curious if one did something the other cab didnt and if it would be better to install both to get the best of both worlds? Either way, greatly appreciate the work!

still confused!
I installed marcini.thinkblu-tilt2 vol increase.cab because it reduces the bassiness heard when the headset is connected as well as increasing the headset volume. But what exactly do these other CABS do? There's the handset earpiece volume, the speaker volume, the headset volume and the ringtone volume. What does what? And as one CAB posted here appears not to work, can someone produce an alternative or one CAB that does everything? Thanks for all your input. This is a necessary adjustment to an expensive phone that we can't hear.

The Cab warlock put up after me isnt my file, the reason is cause if you install his cab his cab points to a file that doesnt exist, thats why you would get no sound. My files (In my posts) will, cause the file name it refers to is also attached to my post. So I suggest you dont mix and match or your going to have many sound problems.
These files do the following (Under my posts)
Increase the Ear piece, increase the bluetooth earpiece and sound quality, and increase the ringer of the phone to better hear in a loud enviroment.

oof sorry, i changed the directory of where the file was installed to \Windows instead of %windows% and now all is fixed. sorry about your nap! RE-UPPED
also, beware of any damages that may occur if you raise the volume of any speaker. This is a disclaimer protecting myself, angeldeath and warlockw from any liability in case of any speaker damage. use at your own risk xD

Ringtones and sounds

Hello dear XDA
Well after finding a Lockscreen and a HTC Hub modifiing thread, i think we need a ringtone and sound thread as well to place all important info, sounds and ringers.
If there is already one, which i haven't found yet, mods, please merge.
Here are some Notification sounds i would like to share.
Big respect and thanx go to Tomal and eelco_akker for making them availiable.
Before coming to WP7, i was still using my trusty rusty HTC Universal. Thanx to the fantastic work of Tomal and friends, It was still very usable with Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5.
great device!
Now with chevron 7 ringtone manager we can customize sounds as well as ringtones on Windows Phone 7.
Just name the Alarm sound of your choise to Alarm-01 though Alarm-10 depending on which one you would like to replace (more here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106)
for SMS and Email notifications its Alert-01 through Alert-10.
Just remember, its not possible as of yet to add sounds and notifications. Its possible however to replace existing ones!
Be sure to replace the ones you really don't want! Alternatively, after finding the ones you would like to replace in Windows dir., copy them to my documents/ringtones.
that way you can keep them, and copy them back to Windows dir if needed.
I have tested all this with attached Notification sounds, and it works great.
Importante Note! Alert and Alarm files MUST be converted to .wma format as requested by Chevron Ringtone Manager!
Ringtones work as mp3 apparently.
Try it out and post yours

thanks i can get some inspiration from it

does anybody have the wp7 lock screen and unlock sounds?
thanks
