OEM supplied by Schaps. This version already integrated in his last ROM.
Not like previous version, this version Profile Tab already work correctly. No need to do anything. I have use it for several days and I dont notice any notifications queue issue or wild vibrate at all.
But I do change the following:
-Installation directory change to \HTCHome instead of \Windows
-To get Brightness shortcut working, the same patch as previous version applied.
-The same patch applied to enable the Tab Setting through registry.
Other than that Nothing. Much better version than v1.5
Color version uploaded!!!!
If you are ROMcooker, download the htchome.dll for rom cooker .
Install sdkcert.cab if you have not done so.
There are about 100 pages of discussion about v1.5. Lets not repeat what have been discussed over there like: Clicking left most mail icon will take you to MMS, how to change music tab tolaunch HTC Audio Manager, and so on and so on. I dont plan to follow up closely on these thread as I think this version is very good already. Should there be any fix, change, etc please refer to the respective post.
Enjoy
Is this better than the one you had released with your kaiser skin?
Currently i am using that, is it worth me updating?
Thanks
Bennec, the one you are using is v1.5.xxxx. Very earlier and uncomplete version that has been tweaked to make it reliable enough to be used. This version is a new build with the profile tab working and additional features in the contact tab thatenable you to select what number ina contact for the speed dial. Definately worthed.
Can you post a version where the files do go in the windows directory? I want to cook this in, but not have duplicates.

you can, just use windiff on the SYS and OEM folders of your kitchen, the dump folder is created by processing these 2 folders, so any file dups will be in there BEFORE you run buildos.exe.
add you package, then run windiff ont he SYS and OEM folders, it will find the file duplicates, and delete the ones that ARE NOT from your new package!!

Maybe I should have been more clear.
When creating a rom, all files will be placed in the windows directory, if you need files in a different directory like the cab posted above you will have to use initflashfiles which just copy the files to a new folder, then you will have duplicates. I just don't want 2megs of photos in two spots.
Garphical Anomolies
@schen you need to swap some of the icons for my fixed ones!!
please Download this Original Icons Fix and add it to you package. 2 of the black and white icons (Music and People) dont react properly when you select them.
that link fixes them!! (it is not just yours, it is a common problem with all htc home plugins!!!)

Your question makes no sense then!
When you COOK this in obviously you would remove the version you already have in the ROM therefore you would not have the duplicates.
Also if you just created an package out of the cab above you will get NO initflashfiles therefore the package will install to the windows directory!!!

You still don't understand. My problem is NOT buildos failures. I don't want duplicates when the rom is complete. Any time you use a initflashfile you will have duplicates in the finished rom. That is what they are for. Again the problem is not with duplicates in the OEM and SYS. If you go back and check my posts you will see I helped you with this exact problem. I know how to create a rom!!!! What I don't know how to do is edit the dll file to redirect it to look in the windows directory for the png files. Hence why I'm posting.

Yes you do get a initflashfile that copies all the png files to HTCHome. See attached.
schen, installed & everything working fine, except for one, am unable to use the hardware navigational pad when accessing music tab, from there u can't proceed to go up, go to ff, rw or play button.
Touchscreen function (for all of the above ff, rw & play tabs) in music tab is working though.
thanks anyway.

Well then my answer to your question would be to remove the initflashfile, then everything would get installed to the windows directory and since you have no need for shortcuts, this would be fine!!!
been using this for a while and saw the new version a while ago. has option of more when u go to the 4 day detail in weather. fonts seem nicer and all. looks like a good upgrade to 1.5 Bennec83 irc bro

Just tried that. It doesn't work without the png files in the HTCHome directory. I guess we can't have everything.
The special dll for installing n Windows directory uploaded. Use that dll.
On the subject of weather plugin.
I am not sure why is there a need for a pre-configured xml file. Anyway, you need a gui to choose the city. Why not have a gui where you could enter the data which is stored on xml file. I suppose rather than sending an entire xml line when communicating with xml service, build an xml file base on the data entered via gui.
As I understand it, the DLL was just edited using a hex editor as \HTCHome and \Windows has the same number of characters, it sounds like it wasn't a decompile thing or something like that.
I'm not at home at the mo so I can't check but if you load the DLL up into a hex editor (winhex?) then replace all the \HTCHome text with \Windows, you should be good to go.
This is just my uderstanding though of what I've read in the previous....saga
Smiffy.

Hi all,
I have had a couple of questions on how to change the globe on the internet tab from the globe to a pic of your choosing.
I have attached the files you need. All you need to do is Create 2 png pictures that are 512x256 and name them the same as in the files.
Once you have done this copy them onto your device,turn off touchflo and drop them along with the mainla file into your windows directory using total commander (or similar) and restart touchflo and hey presto your very own internet icon.
Have fun
works great!!
I made a nice Opera logo, maybe someone likes to use it.
Can't find a good screen capture program, just try it.
You have to copy all three files to the windows directory using total commander or other.
EDIT: found screen capture program, so now included
very nice
Hope to see a few more of these on here. People have been looking but no one has replied.

Hi , sorry to trouble you but could you or anyone please upload the stock 'Internet tab Globe' icon for me ? My operator decided to use its own logo for the Launch Browser icon and it looks quite terrible

Unfortunately this does not work on my German O2 stock rom.
They probably use another manila file for selecting the image on the internet tab.
I have to investigate further...
Here try this Cab File.
I finally solved it, thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2861249
I have to edit a file in \Application Data\Manila which holds the information about banner and operator links.
Thanks anyway for the information in this thread
BTW: You can add a property Text to the Banner node to display a heading under the banner icon
Many thanks to David. I've customised my Internet globe.
I 'emptied' the Youtube text as well as picture reference fields in your attached XML. So nothing shows. Hmm, now I am wondering how I can incorporate another program icon to be exact ...
remove the globe
Thanks for the tutorial, but to me the globe is useless, i would like to start at the tab with only my favorites and no globe at all; so is it possible to fully remove the globe?
I dont know. It might be possible but due to way TF3D uses the Mainla files you would have to modify it in such a way that it doesn't know there should be anything there and that it going waaay above my head.
It's not as simple as deleting the file you might actually have to change the more progamming but i'm sure someone could help

You just need to delete the "Banner" node (i.e. everything between and including "<Banner [...] />", without the quotes.).

Just played around and found I could remove youtube icon. All I did was to delete the everything within <OperatorLinks>.
Dear friend, after i have copied the 2 png pictures to the manila file, turn off and restart the TFL3D, the globe ico remain unchange. Would you give me more detail on how to fix it. By the way, there are two files named InternetPortal and InternetPortal-zh-CN, anything i need to do about that? thanks.

Would help if I could find the folder \Application Data\Manila\ , let alone the file InternetPortal-en-gb.xml. It is most vexing!

I am using Total Commander on an OrangeUK 1.14 ROM Touch HD

Nevermind, I did a bit more forum searching and found the right file to edit.
It is 27c65cbd_manila in \windows\ (for me anyway)

Changelog:
14.04.2009:
- added a Hint-List about the Titanium-Plugin which will be updated if necessary.
- the titanium plugin changed from 3.a to 3.b (Temperature units Option Fix, minor cosmetic change).
- choose between standard & manila-style (link below)
- in the meanwhile the 320x320cpr-file is finalized to fit better in 96dpi
- added Needfull-Things4w6.5
15.04.2009:
- added Germanization (for the german community)
- updated Needfull-Things4w6.5 (WEB-links)
- added 2be?olved
update (!!!new!!!):
The weather-bug is solved!!! Now every i780-user could use weather information in the "windows-default"/"Titanium" plugin in. Remember, it only works with wm6.5. The problem was the resolution in the used cpr-file. i modified the Titanium_320x320.cpr and now the weather plugin runs!
Just follow the steps, and you will have a really nice weather plugin in the standard wm6.5 today panel:
1. flash a wm6.5 rom on your i780
2. be sure to be able to use wifi or grps, because the weather plugin needs data from the net
3. Disable Titanium (windows default plugin) in Settings -> Today -> Items
3. Install Showaco's Titanium Weather - QVGA Version - by mnemonique v3.a (link below)
4. overwrite the existing Titanium_320x320.cpr (\windows) with my modified file (link below)
5. soft reset the device.
6. enable the Titanium
7. Scroll up to titanium weather v3 in Today's Panel and on the panel to start Setup or
8. Select/Click Setup in right soft key.
9. Highlight 3) Configure Forecast Options/Setup, Click OK
10. Configure Zip or Location Code | Temperature Units
info: find your location code in the txt-file below, f.e.:
City Name = "Bremen, DE" Location = "EUR|DE|GM005|BREMEN" Country = "Germany"
then the location code to be entered is: EUR|DE|GM005|BREMEN
11. after you've configure the settings, Select Cancel in right soft key to display Main Menu
12. Highlight 2) Run Full Update and exit
have fun, regards dennito
2be?olved:
Here i´ll place community questions about the Titanium-Plugin (especially i780 related), which you post me and couldn´t be answered yet - may be you know the solution? I´ll post the solution and the publisher name after you post me the answer via PM.
1. everytime i got a voicemail-notification (via sms from my mailbox), the voicemail-panel doesn´t show anything, still "no new voicemails", what to do? (asked by dennito)
Hint-list:
1. Wrong picture-Path:
there is no registry part editable but a very simple way to make your pictures on the storage card visible in the today panel.
solution: just rename your existing folder on the storagecard where the fotos are in f.e.: from "my pictures" to "pictures" - or create a new folder "pictures" on the storage card and put your picture files in there. that´s all - now all your photos will be shown in the today panel - have fun!
Needfull-Things4W6.5:
I think it´s time to expand this thread, i offer a small bundle (see zip file below) of needfull things to make the daily usage with the wm6.5 rom´s a little bit more easy/comfortable. The offered programs i am using day4day are:
1. autolock: this tool locks the todayscreen automatically if you press the power-button once
2. a jpg-file in 320x320 realllllly nice for the daily background (thx mascian)
3. comm manager: the ported htc-comm manager to expand the (bad) build in connection manager
4. honeycomb startmenue: the selection style in the start menue will look a bit smarter (thx mascian)
5. ibattery: a really nice battery indicator
6. soft-reset: just a small tool to make a reset without anything more
7. SRS-WOWHD: amazing tool (wm6.5 modified), which will really upgrade your sound-quality! important to know:first install the cab, second you have to install the driver with f.e. resco file explorer, the standard file explorer from windows won´t allow the registry installation - after install, reset, then modify it as you like it in start->settings->system!
8. resco file explorer (trial): very good (touchable) file explorer
9. FingerSuite: very usefull app which replaces standard menu and messagebox for our windows mobile devices - top! link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459125
10. Titanium Customizer: simple but usefull app to arrange the panels in the wm6.5-today-plug; link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497232
have fun!

As reported by pocketnow.com, you can always count on xda developers.
Note that this only allow you to add remove item, not customized the picture album folder and weather etc.
Continuing our reports of the "Windows Mobile 6.5 isn't even out yet but..." XDA Developers wrote an application called Titanizer, based on early leaks, that will allow users to customize the Home Screen of the upcoming Operating System, called Titanium.
Titanizer requires Flash 7 installed and once executed (needs no installation) can be used to disable or move around tabs in the Titanium interface the same way it was possible to customize TouchFLO 3D tabs.
1. post updated
would be nice to get some feedback, how it´ll work for everyone
Dear dennito,
for me the weather update works after following your description. I'm using krizky82's WM 6.5 ROM. Just installed the weather plugin, so will report back later if I can see any bug.
Thanks for your fix on titanium weather,

This is 96dpi right? Is it possible to have a 128dpi WM6.5 ROM for i780?
Try this (as attached), it looks much better on 96dpi, just replace this file in "\Windows" directory

the windows build in explorer won´t overwrite system datas, you need sbp explorer or wincommander to overwrite the file.

UPDATE: 11-1-09
-Added dotFred's Taskmanager EXT package which is REQUIRED package. Sorry I thought that it was included in my FlashBack package. This will fix issue with no reg keys being made.
-Updating cab with dotFred's taskmanager as well.

I have been working on this little mortscript for a while now, constantly updating as I find more things to add. It has been one of my most valuable and timesaving tools which I cook into all of my ROMs. It allows a user to backup many items which you would have to input and change manually upon first boot. This saves me a LOT of time as I flash a new ROM just about daily. It also has the ability to autorestore all items if cooked into the ROM. I am not a programmer, so if anyone is interested in turning this into an actual program rather than mortscript please let me know Also, I am no mortscript wizard, so if anyone would like to have at the original to make it better go for it This software will create a folder in root of Storage Card named "Phone Backup", so it may not work if you do not have a Storage Card (does not support localization currently). Also, take note that although I use this quite frequently I do not guarantee it to work fully for you. I will try to work with you to find solutions when possible.
Without the help of Noonski, and many others this script could not exist. So thank you very much
You might be thinking "What do I need this for if I can use SASHIMI or UC or any of the other available autoconfig programs?". This app is not meant to be a replacement for any of these programs, rather it will work hand-in-hand with most of these to backup and restore items easily that you might not think about. It will also autoload manila in 6.5 ROMs and load your prefered wallpaper, weather, program tab preferences, and much more.
Original thread can be found HERE. I have started this new thread in attempt to reorganize and provide easy access to more information. Note to mods: please close previous thread.

-Added program tab backup and autorestore
-Added MySpace profile(Microsoft MySpace)
-Added some more Game and Software items
-Added Zensor autorestore and autoload(autoload still needs some work)
UPDATE: 8-27-09 FlashBack 0.5
Uploading latest package from my kitchen. I will put together a cab soon, but for now you can use the flashback script from the package and overwrite original
Changelog:
Made some minor modifications as well as some optimization to reduce errors when restoring.
-Added Wifi Locations backup under software
-Added double check for manila autorestore. This way if you have non manila ROM It will not try to load manila.
For this to work correctly you need to add the following lines to your manila app.reg:
Code:
;FlashBack support
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FlashBack]
"ManilaExists"=dword:1
NOTE: Make sure to disable weather restore or delete the database when switching manila builds
Still taking further requests and hoping for some help from the real mort pros
UPDATE: 8-3-09
-Some fixes for missed lines
-Fixed G-Alarm(misspelled something causing no backup)
-added Facebook backup(not fully tested)
-added world clock cities
-Changed backup of manila files to use INI
-If you have cooked an older version into your ROM, be sure to use the newest FlashBack to backup Manila data again. The new AutoRestore script relies on the new INI files.
-Any more software requests?
UPDATE: Huge update.
Added:
-more personal settings(Buttons)
-Tools*
-Manila Wallpaper and Weather(tested .png and .jpg wallpapers)
-Made a package which will restore all saved settings when cooked into ROM.
-Added option to Auto restore. Auto is enabled by default. Look under tools.
-Added support for some builds of Opera
-Added option to Auto load Manila after Flash as oposed to "Windows Default" AKA Titanium. I prefer Manila, so if you enable the option and its cooked in you can have it right after flash.
-Prepared for adding program registrations
Check it out and let me know if it is all working for you. Please note that I will not be held responsible for any loss of data(should that somehow occur, but dont know how it would). Attaching Visual Package and cab. Legacy package will come soon. Edit: Legacy is here, but not sure if it works as I dont use legacy. Please report back for others.

EDIT: The "RestoreAll" mortscrpt in packages has an extra quotation mark on line 29. Remove the first one before cooking. Should look like this:
Code:
regwritedword("HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
as opposed to this:
Code:
regwritedword([B]"[/B]"HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
This is not a needed step, but it is to double check that Restoreall does not run more than once. There is provision in the script for it to delete the link from startup as well.
Another note: Some features still need some more work to function properly. This is all trial and error as I have to find all the appropriate keys for each item. Some have more than one key which needs backed up. Thanks for trying FlashBack
UPDATE: 7-27-09
After some more work with mortscript(and some help from Noonski, thanks bud) I have put together another backup script which backs up personal info such as :
-Bluetooth Partners
-Wifi Networks
-Owner Info
-Volume
-Rings and Alerts
-Backlight settings
It is still a work in progress, but figured I would put it out there for testing and also feedback on what else to add. Noonski showed me the command lines needed to export and import reg, so now it is just a matter of adding the correct keys. I am learning as I go, so bear with me here. Feel free to test this script and add feedback here. If you are skilled with mortscript feel free to take what I have and make it better. Here is the zip with a cab(which has the script, an exe with icon and dotfred's taskmanager to import the keys). I also included the script and exe to make it easier for others to add or change things. Thanks for trying it By the way I call it Flash Back because I flash so manyt ROMs and I just want my info back in an easy way
Information for cooks (required reading)
Sorry I dont have time right now to add all info, but I will try to add the most important stuff real quick.
-The OEM package will install all files to \Windows folder.
-If you use DotFred taskmanager(known as FDCTaskmanager as well) you will want to have a closer look at this package because the .exe file is already included but renamed to df_taskmgr.exe. You can just edit the app.dat file to add your own shortcut to start menu.
-You can also edit the location of FlashBack shortcut in the app.dat. All updates are taken directly from my kitchen, and I install my shortcut to start menu\programs\Tools\Backup.
-There will be a shortcut created in startup folder during cooking
-Autorestore will only run on BootCount=2(to avoid issues with initial customization) and will do a check of reg to make sure it has not already run. There is also a line to delete the shortcut from startup when complete.
-Basically all you need to do as a cook is to include the package that I have provided. I used to have a double check to ensure that manila was present using additional reg key(you will see above in changelog), but have removed the line from the script so it should not be needed. It will check for existence of manila.exe instead.
Known bugs and issues:
Has Email been incorporated into this, or planned for a future release? I'm addicted to flashing, but I need email access, and it's rather annoying to set up 3 accounts every week. Thanks in advance, this sounds like a very useful program.
Nice job!
great, thank you! that is what i was waiting for!
will test it asap and report my opinion.
It's nice to have this application.
can educate on how to correctly install?
I got the error message below
There is no application associated with "FlashBack". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application

Install to device. What language is the ROM? Currently only works on WWE.
re: Email~ I hope to use an xml writer like Makisu(comes w/ SASHIMI). Will be looking into it when I get some time. Same will be needed for Wifi I think.
Until now, i've been SASHIMI-ING everything including reg keys. this is definately a wonderful addition to SASHIMI.
one problem tho... I just tried to backup some settings and it didn't put anything in the Phone Backup dir (working with a Blackstone on Topix 3.1.1 ROM).

i'm using tess v3.6 topaz wwe...
HAving an error after installing... Says it's unable to create the director "/Storage Card/Phone"
Thats prob because my "Storage Card" is named "Internal Storage"
Is there a way to correct this on my end or is it something you have to change in the script?
UPDATE**
Hope this is ok with the dev, if not - my appologies.
I edited the script myself to make it work with "Internal Storage" as opposed to "Storage Card"
If anyone else has this issue just install from the cab as normal, then copy the Flashback.MSCR file from the attached .zip in this post to your device Windows directory and select yes when prompted to replace the existing file. Should work after that.

Definitely ok. This is as open source as open source can be. There is a lot to be done still, so any help is gladly taken
I will try to get into the details this weekend for cooks and enthusiastic folks who would like to add/change things. Does anyone know of an easy way to add localization? ie if storage card is named as something else, I know some things can use code like %Storage% or something. I would have added something so you could select directories, but the AutoRestore relies on using Storage Card for now. Maybe as I figure mnore out I will do a rewrite and clean it up. There is a lot of repeated entries that I should be able to eliminate with variables. I also still need to add xml restore son nI can get more included.
Well, it created the directory by itself, and it also backed up some files.. like the wallpaper and such, but it didn't post reg keys for some reason. that's the only problem i can see right now.
other than that, wonderful idea, wonderful mechanism. thank you so much

it uses .ini for some manila settings rather than exporting entire reg key (taskmanager wont export value or I cant figure it out)

Well, same problem on my phone it creats folders "phone backup/reg keys" but doesn';t save anything in them and I only tried to backup owner info, rings and alerts and also thumbcal & resco settings. I'm running the latest ver. of MortScript I think it's v. 4.3 b. maybe your scripts were written for the last stable version 4.2.

I have updated first post with Taskmanager package. I had thought it was included in the original package, but after downloading it myself and looking I see its not there. df_taskmgr.exe is a required file and I have added the package to post 1. Have also updated the cab file.
Thanks for the feedback, otherwise I would not have found it.

Thanks Jmckeerjr.
Backup function works flawlessly now. This is really useful app.
I wanted my custom Alert tones on my Mozart DFT 7714 but couldn't install Touch Explorer, today i finally got them into the windows folder using On-Device ProvXML Maker/Deployer [MANGO] - v0.84 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519)
This tutorial is only HTC compatable as it requires HTC Connection Setup.
Credits and thanks to Marvin_S and Contable for making this possible.
Heres how to do it-
1 Create your tone as an .wma and name it Alert-01.wma.
2 Load onto your Unlocked phone using Chevron Ringtone app.
3 Install On-Device ProvXML Maker/Deployer [MANGO] - v0.84 by Marvin S & Contable.
4 Open Connection Setup then open DiagProvXML and go to file operations.
5 Select copy file.
6 In source path box put-/My Documents/My Ringtones
7 In source file box put-Alert-01.wma
8 In destination path box put- /Windows.
9 In Destination file box put-Alert-01.wma(or rename to your language)
10 then click the + softkey at the bottom.
11 Repeat steps 6-10 to add other tones(they have to be Alert-01 to Alert 10 as they overwrite the original files in windows).
12 Once happy flick back to the ProvXML tab in DiagProvXML-All your tones should be there with the header Copy File.
13 Tap on the soft key at the bottom to add the ProvXML file.
14 Run HTC Connection Setup.
15 Goto settings and set the sms/email/voicemail tones.
Have attached my tones, just rename the file to .xap and deploy. They are the old HTC you got mail and you got message tones...sad but i like them!!!
Glad to hear that you like the app.
For changing the alert sound files you don´t need the ringtone deployer.
You can do it directly from your desktop if you´re connected to the Isolated Storage of the DiagProvXML app or any other sideloaded app.
Visit my initial Samsung provxml thread for more information:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226030
Regards
contable
maybe for clarity you should mention in the subject title that it only works with HTC (at least for now). I opened your post with excitement only to find out that I am out of luck.
thanks for the great work though. cheers
Hi!
Not working for me:
- tried your method 2 times= no success
- tried changing:
6 In source path box put-My Documents/My Ringtones
7 In source file box put-Alert-01.wma
8 In destination path box put- /Windows
9 In Destination file box put-Alert-01.wma
Click to expand...

for put my language 0409 FRA for exemple
"Alert-01" is "alerte 1" in french
"My Documents/My Ringtones" is (maybe) "Mes Documents/Mes Sonneries" (can't verify)
So i think it not working for auther language. (need to be confirmed)
Will try multi test with some caracter changes for put FRA language.
PS: i think it's the language because your ringtones xap is deploy successfully but not changing the alerte 1 and 2 (with soft reset).
Also does it need a "/" before My Documents like this "/My documents..." ?
Sry for my english

well the app auto corrects trailing slashes. Also it should work on samsungs and Lgs as well right?

Yes to the forward slash
Try Alerte-01...with the dash, or maybe as the files on xap are Alert-01.wma and Alert-02.wma when deployed, try copying in DiagProvXML/file operations and rename to Alerte-01.wma in the destination file box as it needs to overwrite the exsisting wma.

because running the htc connection setup is not needed as far as i know. We just call it directly from the app. So on samsung devices we use the app launcher to call a provxml configurator, on lg we call the mfg app dll, on htc we call the connection setup dll.
The only thing is that nobody has yet tested it on an LG and we did not receive any feedback from LG owners, nor do I have an LG device so I can not guarantee that it works on LG. But in theory it should work, not sure if there are bugs (we had one report it did not work on LG, we have to investigate).
I dont want to hijack your thread sorry.
But it is confirmed it works on Samsung devices also

ok, will give this a try and report back.
edit: OK, I have just tried this on LG Quantum (7720.68) with no luck.
the chevronwp7rintone app shows Ringtones added
the DiagProvXML does everything as listed, no errors. at the final stage when I tap the floppy drive it executes and exits.
The alert sound did not change though.

I had to run connection setup to run the provxxml, then i could pick my alert tones, just using DiagProv alone didnt do it.
Sent from my 7 Mozart T8698 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
omg!
With connection setup running before DiagProv it work!
No probleme of language, that's just 1st app running before 2nd...
Thank you so mutch
But maybe change the point 14, it must be 4 on the 1st post.

I know how to change ringtones. I am trying to change alert sounds. Apparently the provxml app is not able to use the LG MFG tool to change this at this point. Marvin tried but with no luck so far.
I dont get it... why would msft let us set custom ringtone and leave out the custom sms?!?
that's pretty common sense.. those of us who want to set custom ringtone is most likely gonna want to set custom sms/email tones...
