XDA IIs - Customise Text Message / Ring Tone ? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hiya Guys
Newbie here, and I just got my first 02 XDA IIs PDA phone and I think its absolutlely awesome
I just have two small queries at this moment in time.
Q1. What are my options with regards ringtones, as it says it cant play mp3's as ringtones, is this true ? are there apps out there that allow this, if not will it play any other type of extension, i.e. *.wav, *.wmv ?
Q2. Also is there a way of changing the text sms message sound, again to play something different, ideally I would like this to be wav or mp3.
Many thanks and I hope to be able to contribute a lot as I learn.
All the best.
Matt

Hi Matt....
With all my respect bro,(and this is not only addressed to u),i ask every Newbie to this forum to read and search before posting....This topic was answered several times before(maybe more than 100!!!!),and a simple search for "mp3 as ringtone" will hit the bull in the eye... :wink: (search is on top of ur page).
Now regarding ur questions,here u go....

Put the .wav file u wish to assign as sms ringtone in the windows folder,then u can find it in settings/sounds and notifications under sms notification....(i haven't tried other extentions,but give em a shot if u like..)

Oh man I bet y'all sick of hearing this question eh ?
Really sorry dude, wrists slapped, and points noted
Many thanks for your advice though, really appreciate it and I shall certainly make use of the search function in future
I run my own web site and forum http://www.fzr1000.co.uk and what I tend to do is put 'sticky' topics for questions most answered, never really implemented the search function I shall have to look into this.
Thanks again for the advice mate, I shall browse all the search related topics
Cheers.

Never mind bro....Helping gentlemen like u will always be my pleasure..

Pls Pls Pls Someone Help Me!!!!!!

I've posted this before
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304936
but now I have another problem, no Ringtones whatsoever
I can play the ringtones on my WM Player, My Alarm works, System Notification noises work but when I receive a SMS or phone call NO SOUND
Pls Pls help me I'm really desperate, very desperates for any ideas, anything PLEASE!!!!
PS: I've attached some of my reg files if you need more infor pls do not hesitate to ask. Thanking you in advance
PPS: I'm using Wisbar Advance+Desktop, also Profile for Windows Mobile 2.2.0(Build 672)
which version OS are you using
Its in the sig.
I assume you have gone to sound and notifications, notifications tab and selected new sms or voice call and then made sure a sound is selected and that the appropriate tick boxes are ticked... and that the tones you want are the right type of file and placed in the right folders?
ppl ere won't help! why?
read this paricularly point 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221545
simplest way before begging, help urself. hard reset the bugger.
now do ur sounds work? then its the apps or u have done something to it
if it still doesn't work, send it back
if u want help, start by helping urself n change the f*#kin heading
sick to death of noobs crying n whinging n complaining with pls help... pls pls pls pls help
no amount of begging is going to help, be clear, be precise, be concise
oh yeah, rtfw or search the forums and stop begging, its sickening, annoying and frustrating
What an Arse Hole- 'SIMPLE SIMON'
You know Simon 'Simple Simon' you were once a newbie too so get off your high horse before you fall flat on you f***king face
What a jerk, I'm asking for Help, nicely because I thought this was a friendly forum that someone can help me. I did search but didn't find an answer, that what's new threads are for, you arse hole
Yes I've check the notification box, yes its the right type
It plays when I press the play button, but when I received a call or SMS, NO SOUND
Noone is asking you for your precious time if you dont want to damn well give it, bottom line is when you see a thread you don't like, see the door arse hole TAKE A HIKE
I agree the title is going to get peoples backs up considering its only a few sounds which do not work.
Do the sms files actually play manually in media player , are they corrupted?
Try selecting no sounds ok you way back out and then turn them all back on. (might reset any duff reg entries)
Failing that a hard reset will probably be quickest way to sort it?

Well to start with you can tell us what you have installed and have you chnaged any reg keys???
If you dont give information how the heck do you what help.
Please help my phone is broken
How many poeple are going to help me on that one!!! you get the hint! When you give no useful information, you get no useful replies!!!!
What The F**********
If you read my first post I told you what i've install and even uploaded some of my registery files
what else do you want from me!!!!!​
Problem that I see is that RickyJune has posted many My Phone won't work - here's no information but I want a psychic to fix it for me because I'm too lazy to research for my self threads.
Everytime I see a RickyJune thread I almost know the first response will be 'please give more information' or something of that nature.
That's so not f***king true

I did search, and if you do a search and come up with the answer I'll be f***king surprise
Secondly I did give you all the info, my signature tells you what phone and OS im using, I posted my registry file that I thought was useful and I told you what software I'm running. and said if you need more pls ask
ITS ALL THERE IN MY FIRST POST JERK FACE IF YOU CAN BE BOTHERED TO READ!!!!!
God you people are half-harden b*****ds
Yeah many people who could help have become hardened to the "Pls Help" posts.
If you search for a particular problem (BTW Use the Google search as well on this forum) and can't find any answers then it's most probable that the problem is just peculiar to yourself.
Have you done a hard reset and do you still have the problem on a 'clean' install?
Oh my God a decent human being
thank you Wam7,
I decided to Hard Reset tonite when I get home, but its the last resort I thought maybe someone had any ideas before I did that, I wish I didn't bothered asking now,

Well for starters you can quit with the triple posting of threads for the same problem... and then a better subject to the thread... And then smaller letters... If you dont recieve a lot of replies from ones with the right titles its because no one has your answer, as its more than likely 3rd party software causing your issue, this is why the hard reset corrected your problem... be more descriptive, im sure you have more than that piece of junk wisbar advance installed on your device.. If you want answers it helps to know everything, ALL software installed, etc....

Images and Video folders + streaming media

Good evening all of yours!
After many read threads, i make up my mind and start this new one cos i don t find find any good solution...
Is it possible via registry or an applicationto specify in the HTC launcher a particular folder for images and videos? I would like to open all the images and videos i record on storage card.
Then i found already things about the problem but no solutions really about the way to configure streaming media to open onlines videos like youtube and so on...
I had this configuration once after flashing rom and then i flashed again and i don t have it anymore!!

Firstly the second post from you is not a way to get attention, this is a forum and expecting an instant response is extremely arrogant.. please let people have a chance to see what your request is before coming back and wasting spacing on questioning why you were not answered. secondly i would hope that with your arrogance may come the miniscule amount of intelligence it takes to do a search.
So for the first part of your question
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"FileSyncPath"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents"
now all your images and videos will save to the storage card and will by default open from there. From here you should be able to figure out where you need to go in registry to tweak the default file locations.
AS for streaming I have no idea but I am sure that the internet connection you obviously have will yield a result thru some search engine...just like the 30 seconds I took out of my life to get the above result which you should have been doing yourself.
Hi Davidf!
Does your member status give you a bigger a.s than the other ones? cause my arrogance don t even deserve a good evening from you!!!!
I replied to my own post about 5 hours after because i m looking for a solution to this little problem since a while, and yes, was impatient to have a solution!
Thank you for your answer to my first question but you see, my post is not so useless as you are not even able to find a solution to the second one!!!!
And what do you reply to the new ones who keeps asking about the stuck with the bootloader after 1% doawnloaded??? do you shoot them up like you did to me??!!!!
Honestly i don t know who is the most arrogant beetwen us!! So i hoppe that you wont be bothered yourself one day with a little or big problem because if everyone starts to answer like you did, you wille be stucked a long time...
By the way, have a good night and take care
***Sorry for all the other persons who will read this but i think that there is perhaps a more gentle way to answer even if my questions were stupid!!!!***

Whilst I do agree with you that the search isn't always accurate, I hope you do understand that as a developers' forum, there are tons of both, technical and non-technical issues that have been brought up.
Hence, when members tell you to search it, chances are they have either participated in the individual threads of have stumbled across the threads of discussion and know for certain, of its existence. I would advise using the google search function instead of the built-in search function on the forum.
That said, I do have a version of WOW SRS (Version 1.2.10.0) on my Hermes and it works like a charm and does not reduce the volume of my ringtones in any way. On the contrary, my experiences with it have been delightful in providing quality audio both, for ringtones and listening thru A2DP and wired earplugs.
My two cents worth.
Unless you're Big on connecting with an earpeice, don't even bother with srs wow; it kills the sound quality of ext speaker notifications

Adding aditional features

MODS LOCK! Figured it out

I already have wm6.1 loaded on my 8525 but I would like to add features I had b4 like slide to unlock, sliding on the screen to get to music n pics and also the flash light
I am really confused as to what to do....can sum1 help me out ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The apps like slide 2 unlock and others which will add features can be found in the development and general sections of the forum, everything is easily found using the search function (both google and vbulletin versions).
There is tons of info and programs in this forum. You just need to take the time and read.
I downloaded them I just dont know how to load them to my 8525 so they work

Not saying you deserve it, just the way it is, they have a point though this forum is more for people willing to put in the time to read.

Just copy the file to your device or storage card, and click it from there! This is just basics of WM, but i remember feeling the same way when i first got a WM device!

Alphabet serch bar for Music?

Hi,
Does any one know if it is possible to add a search bar for music like the phone number one? Is it only, or when I wahnt to find a music/Album/artist and have to scroll up and down 1000 mp3's. For me this would very usefull.
Thanks
john_john
yep i agree with u
I googled all around and found it no where
so will any one plzzz help me to solve this problem out????????
+1
i Also Need It !
I can't believe this hasn't already been implemented, it was the same with the cities for the weather but that was sorted out pretty quick.
I also struggle finding specific music as most of my 16gb card contains mp3's.
I think that it isn't dificult for cooks, probably just get the bar and get it to search for the title/album or whatever. Mabe the problem is getting the media player to read the tag info from all the mp3s, so when you press the letter in the different tabs Artist/Album/Song it gets the right one. but if they apear alphabetacly already it shouldn't be difficult. but this is from a guy that depends on the good wil of others. but still, it would be nice.
Nice cooking,
I think this is a great suggestion.
Having the same layout as in the contact list (with search bar and alphabet list) would be a nice improvement to the music library.
And even better, would be check mark options under the search bar (or under Menu) to place check marks on what the search should include... artist, album, songs, etc.
Cmon Developers show urs xperience
