Had Rhodium for a month, have a handful of questions

Hi, I came from the Wizard and am still learning my Rhodium, I have a few questions that will probably give me a "shoulda had a V8" moment once I hear the answers, but I will ask anyway...
1- how do I set speed dial?
On my wizard I was able to assign a button to a person and just press and hold.
2- is there any way/program to create a zoom function on the camera?
3- how do I make a tab/shortcut to NOTIFICATIONS?
4- I installed a Facebook app, other than putting it in the start menu or in the programs tab, is there a way I can create a dedicated tab (like people, calendar, messages, settings, etc) to go to Facebook?
5- where the heck do I put tunes I want to use as an alarm sound (not to be confused with ringtones)?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Here's me smacking my forhead...Shoulda had a V8!!

Voted.
I have tried dropping my sounds into the main windows directory, but when I go to set an alarm, it isn't reading my tunes. Perhaps there is a size limit or is it wav specific? I have even tried naming the file alarm-name as I have seen that in windows. I have tried resetting my device...nothing.
Do you have any idea what I may be doing wrong?
Again, thank you.

1. Go to the contact, hit the Menu softkey and "add to speed dial".
2. The zoom bar just below the TP2 screen zooms the camera.

I believe that alarm sounds must be in WAV format, or they won't be recognized.

Thank you, I didnt even know that, I should have RTFM LOL! but thank you!

It took me some time to figure out what the hell the zoom bar was, but now I think I have it.
I will try converting my files to wav format and maybe the alarms will work.
Setting a speed dial contact is next on my list.
Thank you for all the advice so far!!
Now does anyone have any idea if I can make a dedicated tab for Facebook, and also how to make a shortcut or tab for notifications?
Thanks in advance.

I am still trying to make more prominent/easier shortcuts or actual TF3 tabs for Facebook and notifications.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I do have the Facebook app loaded in the programs tab and in the start menu. What I'd like to do is have an actual TAB...like Home, Weather, Programs...Facebook.

As far as I know those are preset into the 3d software, so its either going to have to be an update or one of the gurus here will have to hack the system.
For alarms, I like to use spoon alarm, it seems to work much much better at finding songs to use as alarms (and its really easy to use). Only thing thats no good is that you can't set multiple alarms like the windows one. Plus every soft reset you will have to reload spoon alarm for it to go off, but you can play music

To get them to show up for notifications and events:
- WAV files go in \Windows.
- MP3 & WMA files can work too, but you have to put them into \Application Data\Sounds
This should be the same for the alarm sounds, but I haven't actually used the alarm on mine yet (had it about 2 weeks).

how to remove "s2u2 v.2.40 by A_C - ac-s2.com" message..??

I have the S2U2 program for Windows Mobile....and this message "s2u2 v.2.40 by A_C - ac-s2.com" displayed at the bottom of my screen that will completely delete it....???

Yeah, I'm wondering too

I don't know why but it went away when i changed the wallpaper and changed the text size to small, i didn't do anything else.

a way to get the code of the program and delete this line....??

Just ask the author...

hahaha......

Can't you live with that?
1) It's free software
2) It's only displayed for a few second, after that it scrolls to the left and gone.
3) I think one of the reason the author put that text was his experience when some people sell his free software. He almost stop the development further but fortunately he has big heart and continue. Just do a search in the this forum.
I'm very happy with S2U2 and S2P. They have good looks, stable & customizable. These are the very first few programs I always install after I got a new phone or install a new rom.

S2U2 - 1000 times to make a PAYMENT!!!!
many - [email protected] and keygεns but no slide messages..

So why don't you contact the developer

Only prob is that after I syn my i tunes playlist by "double twist"(only free software i found to synch i tunes to WM)it appears as name but is always empty...in other words what i mean is that the sych playlist is read by window media player in my HTC touch HD but this software does not read it...if that happenes this will be a perfect software comparable to I phone/touch.Other issue is that at songs level the names of songs are not as they are in i tunes but from album to artist level they appear as one has tagged them in I tunes.
any suggestions plz!

Just create this directory on the sdcard: /sdcard/media/notifications/ then put any music file you want in there and it'll be a notification tone. Same for ringtones, just make another folder called ringtones instead of notifcations. Also, download the app called ringdroid, and you can copy bits of a song as a tone.
[sig]I'm close to rooting, i have to see if its messed up first [sig]

Each email account, under settings just put in the notification sound. Do the same for everything that has notifications. You can pick phone sounds or ringrtones.

All notifications can be used with everything. The same tonesare available for text, emal, facebook, etc. Use a pc, or download astro file manager to create the directories

go to gmail or what ever email app you're using and go to the settings and select the ringtone you want.

I personaly use "ringtone maker mp3" from the market. It let's you load music files from ur SD card and edit them to ur liking and save them as either notification/ringtones. After u have saved some ringtones/notification tones, just go to ur contacts, chose a contact and under "edit" u should see a "set ringtone" botton to select a ringtone for that contact. Don't think u can adjust the volume for every custom set contact ringtone, it'll use ur default ringtone/notification volume level. Hope this helps somehow

Ringtones/Alarms

So can you not use a MP3 for a ringtone or a wake up alarm on this thing? Or is there an app for it?
Thanks.
BTW, 1st Windows Phone, just came over from Apple/Android, am liking the Nokia quite a bit. Great UI experience.
Thanks

Yes, you can create your own custom MP3 ringtones, but you can't add custom alarms/notification sounds. Do a search for the specifics, but basically the file needs to be less than 1MB and you have to change the Genre to RINGTONE when you edit the fine in Zune.
But a much easier method is to use easyRing&Music (free in Marketplace) to search for and download a ringtone of your choice. I have created some and downloaded a few. Both options are simple.

You can indeed use custom alarms, but not notifications.

I stand corrected. Never noticed that on my Surround, but all my custom ringtones do appear in the alarm selection screen. Thanks.

If a custom ringtone is already on your phone, simply select it off the list. If not, create one on your desktop (MP3, less than 1MB). Open Zune Desktop, find your ringtone, edit the Genre to RINGTONE (you have to type of in the first time, select off list later), sync with your phone. Ringtone is on your phone.
