Is it possible to use my own MP3's as a ringtone/alarm?
Tried copying them into all kinds of directories and didn't get to choose them in TF3D
create a folder on your storage card called my ringtones (same name as the folder on the phone) put them in there and they will appear in the ringtone list
Thanks that worked for the ringtones.
Now only the alarm isnt cooperating. Any ideas?
try to copy the mp3 to your \Windows Folder
I think it has to be a Wav file, and I think there is a maximum file size too, but I am not 100% sure.
Well thats a step back... my S710 could do MP3's no problem :-/

Oh well at least on the kaiser I think it does have to be WAV, and they are both wm 6.1, maybe it is because the S710 runs wm standard, or maybe th touch pro 2 does play MP3, but then again I did say I wasn't completely sure....
Have a google for KaiSoft MP3Alarm, it will do the trick for you, and allows you to browse to any file.

I got myself Klaxon
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-klaxon.html
Supports MP3's FULLY integrated in TF3D. And has some bonus abilities like shaking the phone=off, snooze = turn phone over (each with feedback via vibra) etc
Its even "thumbflick friendly"
I believe the development of Klaxon has been cut off. I think you would be better off with G-Alarm (though, that too has turned to payware recently, but you can still get the free 1.5.1 version that works perfectly - at least it does for me) which has all the same functionality as Klaxon and then some.

To change the ringtone you just have to put your favourite mp3 in windows/rings (on a German phone). Doesn't work for text messages though. On other windows mobile phones, you had to convert the mp3 in wav or wma, put it in the same place and they would show up in the text message alert list (I've done it myself and it worked). Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work for my tp2 right now. Any ideas, especially for individual text message alerts?

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

Can you upload pTravelAlarm?

Thanks for the file!!
I tried to upload the cab file but I keep getting an error........I tried to compress (rar) the cab + keygen into 1 file but it says incorrect file or something like that.....
So here is the keygen for v2.7.3, just download it and use this keygen.

I dont know if you can use .wma's for that, you may nee to convert them to .mp3 or .wav,,,,You may try and drop them in the \application data\sounds folder.
Thanks Pudge! Got it by dropping em in App Data\Sounds
I wonder if there's a master table somewhere of where sounds for various things need to go. I know some sounds can be in My Documents, others in Windows, etc. Add to that that you can't use certain formats for certain events and it gets downright confusing.
all i know is if you drop your sound files in the application data/sounds folder
any customization of sounds can be done if they are in that folder. As far as the types of audio file formats you can use, i really dont know the extent of what you can and cant use. Although it seems that .mp3's, .wav's and .wma's work when editing your profiles, other restrictions are true when editing other things, such as startup-shutdown tones (.wav only) as well as other restrictions that i can't think of off the top of my head.

I liked the ones in the rose rom but had to flash back to kavanas because of my weak little battery. Ill go back as soon as I can get a 12 volt car battery wired up to it.
ive been searching for months and still havnt found any decent programs, the software wiki is useless as it doesnt even tell you what half the programs are or do! ive been waiting since duttys 2.6 to ask these questions so i didint just throw 1 in here and there.. i hope you guys can help.
how about i ask:
whats is the best navigation system for the touch hd? ive used tomtom6 but it doesnt work too well best ive been able to use is google navigator however it doesnt have many features pretty much just what the dot move is where you are.
is it possible to have custom alarm clock tones? or custome msg tones? i cant seem to figure out how to change them to my own, ive even tried moving the file to the tones folder on the device but it wont let me.
i know it has wifi, but how do i know if its using my wireless networks internet and not the 3g data connection on the handset? can it even use the wifi for internet access?
using duttys 2.6 i can no longer change my background on the today screen anyone know why?
ive looked around but cant find how to set my device to view my hotmail account? any answers?
ive got a bunch of avi files on my computer which are mainly movies and music video clips, but they wont play using the windows media playeror divx player
i tried core as well but it didnt seem to work, i must be doing something wrong?
i love the keyboad but its too small for my fat fingers, can i make the keys bigger? they dont seem to get bigger even in landscape?
can i have more things on the today screen? like text msgs and stuff? when i click the sms tab i have to scroll through each individual text msg? is there a new page i can look at them all?
are there any modifications to make the sms page better?
what other modifications are there to make it more user friendly and can i modify the files in the device at all? get rid of any? add more?
programs im after:
a good media player for avi files
a good music player
some good games that use the graphics like teeter? some games like on iphone such as idracular? possible?

IGO8 - without a doubt. Excellent performance, looks gorgeously on big Touch HD screen, great visual style, lots of cool features! Overall, I found IGO8 to be much better then TomTom, Ndrive or Garmin.

Yes it is. You need to convert your files to .wav format and copy them into Windows folder. After that, they will be available to pick when selecting ring tones for any event.

I believe you can set this up in dialing rules. Also, I think by default the device will always prefer connecting through WiLan if it's available and hooked up.

Best performance for divx files can be achieved by using Core player. If you feel like recoding, it's recommended to use FLV container, with xvid codec. This seems to get best results. Depending on the movie, it's also possible to enjoy standard torrent divx rips directly via Core player, without recoding.

Touch Flo 3D Today screen is rather stiff. You can have more appointments by sliding the clock upwards, to make it smaller. However, there's no way to get messages display there. However, recently there has been some development here on XDA, allowing users to have a special tab for standard Windows Mobile Home screen - and you can install bunch of other apps for this, so you might find what you want after all.

Better in what way? As far as I know, you can only change text size, and that's only when you open up the message. Also, if you click on the message body when previewed in Messages tab, it will open up new Rhodium style messaging (not the default WinMo, like when you click on "All messages").

Standard HTC album seems to be best for normal AVI, since it uses hardware acceleration. You need to check your avi files, they're probably not properly coded.

hello, i got my Touch HD (Yay) and im loving it, but i have some questions that i hope some of you may be able to answer:
1. the sound volume for ring tones and message tones even when on loudest is quite quiet - is there anyway to boost the sound
2. where do songs that i want for my message tone go? ive found where ring tone ones go
3. is it possible to set a ring tone specific to a person?
4. as above but for message tones
5. i have some apps and games that i have downloaded (fingerboard is one of them) but when i try to install them i get the opera icon and it tries to access the internet instead of installing the app - i extracted them before putting on memory was that wrong?
6. where can i download Pac Man and Space invaders - i just love these games
i think thats it for now, i may find more questions that i might need answering
1- Is the Volume to 100%? You could try some different ringtones: I have volume to 80% because it too high when ring
2- Windows folder: if it's like past WM version the sms sound must be short, the device will ring to end of file else (I don't use personalized sound for sms).
3- Yes, I'm using Yota Contacts but it's possible (or you could install Yota Contacts cab)
4- I don't but I don't think possible (maybe some app do it)
5- Copy *.cab on SD and tap over it without unzip it (if *.exe sync the device with PC then 2click on PC)
6- Google

1 i remastered the mp3 tones with louder presets in external program
2 i set it to storage card root seems that Touch hd looks for all music files on the rom and card
3 yes (speaking about Miri rom and WM 6.5 - dont know if in other ) wneh you edit contact you should see "ringtone" option between "email" and Adress options ( manila 2.1)
4 not possible ;/
5 be sure that its for pda touch hd (and in .cab format)
6 pacman ? http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1339
space invaders ? http://www.google.pl/search?q=space...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
google game name + PPC should return something
okay thanx, i will ahve to try seeing if other ringtones make it louder, as i have it 100% but it still seems a bit quite could someone also direct me to what software they use to make songs louder for their phone?
as for the programs that display opera - most of them were programs that i got from this site ! these are as follows:
1. Rhodium RSDialer
2. Fingerkeyboard (version 2 i think)
3. a dark looking taskbar (cant remember what its called - but i know i got it from here)
so what am i doing wrong? or did i download the wrong links or something?
would installing this Yota contacts would it overwrite the Spb Mobile Shell 3 contacts as i like that as i can have images for the people i have on my phone (well i havent added them all but dont see why i couldnt)
thanx for all the help though
HD Tweak should be one of the first things you install, amongst tons of things there's also an option to remove the 100db volume limit
here are FKB and HD Tweak, download directly to storage card or copy from pc, open File Explorer, find files and tap them, they should start installation and ask where to, FKB to Device, Tweak as you like

thank you SO much, where can i get it?
on here? - ill have a look
i've added it to the post
HTCaddicts cleanRAM is another option
also, make sure u read installation guides to all things, some, like taskbars, require this file i attached, you install it only once and then you're good to go....until you hard reset or flash, then you need it again of course
okay thanx. i have HDTweak i havent installed it yet, will get that file you added as well
also i seem to get a couple of messages saying that my network hasnt been found or something,
i know its got to do with the internet but i dont need it (i think) as i will be using WIFI how do i stop the message appearing.
i also get a message thing about a dialer thing but im not too sure what that one is about, any ideas?
also my screen doesnt turn on its side when i rotate thew phone - is this normal as i thought the phone could do that
3. is it possible to set a ring tone specific to a person?
4. as above but for message tone
Use Ringo software.
...also my screen doesnt turn on its side when i rotate thew phone - is this normal as i thought the phone could do that
Use Gsen or Changescreen
okay thanx for the tips, i will have a look at them -ive seen the screen changer thing but i thought the phone could do that automatically - i guess not
also something a bit strange - i keep get messages either sms/mms or email though they are to someone with a different number then mine - any ideas?
Hello all -for all interested then trythis it worked for me--
riht click in your mp3
pick "properties"
change genre to "Ringtone"
then transfer normal with zune
go to settings and change the tone
it showed up on my phone under "custom"
like i saId -worked for me
Just out of curiosity was your file longer than the 40 second and 1 meg limits?
It doesn't work on my focus unless the file meets the limitations.... which is weird because in NODO you can have any file as a ringtone.
