How to set individual contact ringtones? - HTC Excalibur

I'm using the Kavana 6.1 ROM, and of course, I love it. However, one problem I've run into, is I can't seem to find a way to set contact-specific ringtones. Wondering if it's possible in this rom.
Also, does the rom support 8gb sd cards? I've googled the subject quite a bit and found mixed answers.

just go to your contact name then edit it scroll down and look for the custom ringtone assignment. hope this help.

They have to be in the Phone memory and not on the sim, same goes for attaching pics to contacts

No. After installing Kavana's 6.1 ROM, I no longer have that option in contact setting. Only name, number, and number type.

They have to be in the Phone memory and not on the sim
thats odd, because i've flash my dash from rom of one version to another but i dont have that problem.

Yah that is true, I have noticed that it is pretty much the same initial rom with added on programs...

Bump. Still haven't found a solution.

copy your sim contacts to your phone

thanks a lot, that's exactly the answer i was looking for.
now, is there any way to have them saved in the phone in order to have individal ringtones while also having it in the simply as a backup without seeing duplicate contacts in the contacts screen?

It looks as if the shortcuts do not relate to an executable (ie when you deinstall something or move the programfolder). Is this the case? The programs that you use, i use too, so it seems its not related to that software.
What happens if you reinstall the programs? BTW are they on you storagecard? If so, can you access the storagecard at all?
I had the same problem, but found a solution.
A small "program" called refreshstartmenu.exe, works for me!

Good tip, Ive never had the problem ever though, i guess my microsd is fast enough for a correct boot/set the correct icons.

Caller Name display with Rogers on HTC S620

Ok guys, i need help.... I saw a LOT of threads regarding this issue, but I think i'm blonde, because i can't seem to make it work.... :-/
I'm with Rogers Canada and I just bought a HTC S620 unlocked with windows moble 6.... I see the number of the person calling, but not his name (and I do pay to get this service)
I know I can make it work by changing the values of the registry key, as I have read a couple of times in other forums, but... this is where i'm totally lost....
I'm on MAC, so I use Missing Sync to synchronize my phone, not Active Sync.... I tried downloading Mobie Registry Editor, as well as PHM Reistry Editor, but it does not seem to work (or i'm not doing the right thing...!)
Can anybody please tell me what i need to do (with a LOT of details LOL)
thanks a lot

Did you imported the contacts from your simcard to the contacts in the phone ?
I think that will help.
Yeah, the name display appears when one of my contact is calling, that's not a problem, but I want to have the name displayed when it's someboby OUTSIDE my contact list who's calling.... The number of the person appears, not his / her name (i do pay for this service and the name did appear with my old phone).... :-/

Your service might not support that so your name will not show up. It only shows up if it is in your contact... Many cell phone providers do not have this option....
Mine does I am 100% sure... and i have read on many forums that since this phone is unlocked and not "officially" supported by Rogers, I need to modify the registry in order for the name to be displayed....
check this thread....http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-367381.html
i just can's seem to figure out how to edit the registry, especially since i'm on mac...

The reg edits you pointed to seems as if no one got it to work anyway from what just read and i did read every link off and more.
This quote seems to make sense:
NotATreoFan:
If it works on the stock Rogers ROM, but not any others, one can conclude Rogers has some special software baked into their OEM ROM.

Actually Stylez I am using Ricky and your Rose 1.5 ROM and Rogers Name Display seems to be working with this version. I was never able to get it to work with the orginal WM 6.1 ROMs but it tis working in the Rose ROM.
For those who don't know Rogers Name Display is basically Caller ID for your cell. It will display the name of the caller even if they are not one of your contacts as long as the Rogers network can figure out who the caller is.

Rose is an s740 to which now has it's ROM ported to the s620, Rose can be found im my sig, also NRG has the original available.
The guide to flashing is in sig too, also sorry about the confusion over gender
would by any chance have the link to the Rose ROW, the one I found and downloaded gives me an error message saying that a file is corrupted and it stopped the upgrade at 4% (thank god the phone still works....!) thanks a lot

Can't download SDA_ApplicationUnlock ????

Hi all, just got my second dash, and wanna flash to wm6.1. Main reason, I want threaded SMS, that's really all I want out of it. I will mainly be using my phone as an mp3 player (with a2dp headphones), for texting, email, internet surfing, and gaming (pocketNester )
I was trying to follow the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225 But the following link won't let me download the sim application unlocker, it keeps saying page not found
http://www.mediafire.com/?egm0z1vnbh0
Any ideas? My phone is a Rogers locked s621, not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I know there are the main 4 6.1 Roms, I read what they offered, and they all seemed like they would work for me. One I saw had an app in it for overclocking, which may be nice to speed up my phone for pocketnester, but from what I can recall, this app can be installed to any ROM.
From the pics, the Rose rom by Ricky and Stylez seems the coolest looking, I guess because of the chrome theme. Anyways, any suggestions as to my rom choice are greatly appreciated, and a solution for the app unlocker. I would go with what ever rom was easiest, as this will be my first time doing this. Hope to be able to do this by tomorrow evenign, thanks a lot everyone

T-Mobile Dash

I am buying a T-Mobile dash off ebay that has been flashed with Windows Mobile 6.1 from this forum. I use Myfaves to keep my cell bill low and I guess the version of 6.1 on this phone doesn't have it. Is there a version of WM6.1 that has myfaves that I can get a hold of or am I just going to have to downgrade it to WM6.0. Thanks for your help.

which goes to a non-working "solution" and a dead-link.
joshua couple things to know about myfavs u do not have to have the user interface for myfavs on your phone to be able to get the calls to those numbers free. those can be managed from the tmo site and as long as they are entered when the number is called or they call you it is free. secoundly the user interface is really just a fancy speed dial for those contacts anyhow and there are a few roms and apps that can duplicate what the myfavs UI does. Good luck.

Did you see this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2050951&postcount=20
Another solution is just to make a panel with my faves no.'s
As someone noted above, you don't need to have the myFaves interface on your phone in order to use it. I have 3 phones under my T-Mobile Account, and only my son's has the phone interface. You only need to make sure that it shows your selected myFave numbers on your account at http://mytmobile.com . This is where you can manage your myFave contacts instead of through your phone as well.
Thank you,

Yes, but it's not T-Mo's MyFaves application. It's just a panel where you can put ANY of your contacts as a "Fav".
As others have said... you don't need a MyFaves app on your phone to make free calls to the numbers you've selected as your Faves.

I was searching for this solution a while back. Just follow this link and install. Go to the TMO website and update your Faves and push back to your phone. As others have noted... the app is just a fancy speed dialer. Goodluck!
