Is there a way to customize startup sounds or error sounds? I would like to change the sound of those, but can't seem to figure out how. Anyone help with that??
- Just copy any wma, mp3 or wav format file(s) into /windows/ directory.
- Select Settings/Sound/Advanced/Notifications
- Pick the Event you want and select the Ring tone from the drop-down menu
Enjoy~
Thats for the regular sounds....I am looking for a way to customize the STARTUP sound like when you turn the phone on and off and the error sounds. I appreciate the help but I am aware of how to change the regular sounds....just not sure if there is a way to change the start and error.

Jeez, i dont understand why they make it so complicated! Even WM 5.0 Smartphone edition was more fluent. I didnt have to move sound files all over the dam place just for specific events. Why in the hell cant it just let you Point to a file instead of stupidly being locked into one directly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is their a way to somehow change What directory its pointing to at least?
Guess i could just delete all the default sounds and put my own in their (if it will let me delete them)
Any Ideas? is their a way to have the sounds point to a custom location?
Again.. Can you change the pointed directory for event sounds out of the windows directory?
I've been lookin for the answer to this since my sprint mogul
I could be wrong but it sounds like you may need to look at flashing a custom splash screen. You can attach custom sounds to the splash screen to be whatever you want. I'm not to sure about the error sounds. I would assume you can associate an event to a sound file and call it a day.

Just tested this. It can change the general ring tone, but not for each person, and im not sure if i just dont know how to use it, but its realyl diffacult to goto other directory's to find new sounds.

I want to add more sounds to the notification set. I know i can add ringtones to the Windows/Rings folder for the phone butwhere do I add sounds for things like a new SMS?
as has been said many times, search search and search again. This is definitely alrady in the forums a dozen times
.wav and \windows folder. Im saying no more.
WAV files required
Put suitable WAV files into the windows folder and that did the trick. They are all available now as notification sounds
Thanks
Where are the sounds (for rintones, alarms, etc.) stored on a WM6 device?
I want to change the alarm sound on my phone and I don't like the built-in list of alarm sounds and want to add my own.
So, two questions:
1. where are the alarm sounds stored?
and
2. what format can you use for alarm sounds?
BTW I want to change my alarm to sound like a standard telephone ring so that I can set it to go off in the middle of meetings to pretend that someone is calling me to let me escape these ****ing wastes of time. It never fails.
In windows folder you will find another folder its name is Rings you can add your fav. files by copy and paste method then if u would like to change tones, you can do that by settings-> Personal -> Phone
oh I forgot!!!!
.wmv .mp3 .... are usually used format
I think for the alarm sounds, you're restricted to just wav (maybe wma but i've not confirmed that) but they have to be in the windows folder, not the rings as stated above.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
you are right Lordsmiff!!!
I am so sorry
I do not know why I chose tones option for alarm

To add further, alarm and notification tones are restricted to WAV format.
Put then in \windows\ folder.

Thanks for clarifying this.
Does anyone have any good WAV "alarms" that sound like telephone calls (ringtones)?
Cheers.

Does anyone know the location of or the name, of the sound files for 'sms sent' and 'delete confirmation', please?
There is no option to change these in Settings>Sounds & Notifications. The files don't appear to be located in the Windows folder either...
Anyone please help?
I'm just getting to grips with my new WM6 device
I know how to change the call progress background... but when someone calls me... a different image appears. I can't seem to find this image on the phone. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Phone Calls and SMS
* Change the Dial and In-Call Screen Background
1. Copy \Windows\BackgroundImage_Land.bmp and \Windows\_BackgroundImage_Land.bmp to your PC or a backup folder in case you want to restore these in the future.
2. Make images with dimensions of 320 x 186 with the same names as the files above above.
3. Copy the new images back to the \Windows\ folder and overwrite the old files.

In the latest HTC ROM, those files do not exist so HTC must have given them different names.
exactly... i've copied every image file out of the windows directory and don't find the call background image.
anyone else?
In case you haven't found it yet, in the latest HTC ROM you need to replace:
\windows\HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186.bmp
Cheers
i did everything as said...made a new pic...named it the same thing...tried to save over or or copy back over the old file and its saying i dont have access or the ability to change that file.
am i doing something wrong? im running wm6 and on a t-mobile locked dash.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
that's not the image... that image is for when you're actually on a call.
the image that displays when a call is coming in but you haven't yet answered the phone is different. i've checked every image in the windows directory and it isn't there so it must live someplace else.

you have to save the file into a temp dir on the phone and then use a program like total commander to copy it to the windows directory. it'll overwrite then.

I thought this would be an interesting customization as well maybe some of the more technically inclined members here could give us some insight.
I have already posted on this site how to change your background. Just use the search button at the top of your page on the right side.
Any other questions, just pm me. It's easier than going through this forum's threads,plus it keep these threads not so clogged with repeated questions.
Have Fun.
How can i change the color of in-call screen??
Also, is it possible to change the call-in font color? For whatever reason, it's black and all my other fonts are white, makes it hard to read. I'd like to keep the background as is. But I guess I could change the background image to something lighter so the black font will show up, but I searched around and I don't know how to do that either in Ricky's.
I too have this issue with the black font on the incoming call screen very hard to read. All my other font colors are white except the inoming call screnn. I posted in the alphanuma thread asking how to change it but have not gotten an answer. Hopefully someone will help us resolve this soon.
This color is located in your xml. It is the homehighlitetext and hometext colors
If you want to change these it will apply throughout your entire phone. It will do what you are talking about, but beware these will affect the entire phone, and this IS the only way. Worked with it long enough to know.

This can't be the case because I look at the theme xml file and the homehighlitetext and hometext are set to #ffffff and all the text on my phone is white except the incoming call text is black and no where in the xml file do I see font set to #000000 for black Im using alphanuma wonder if it has something to do with that but its odd because when I make an outgoing phone call the text is white just not the incoming very strange.
i have the same problem. is there an answer?
hi all
i will like to assign my own music as alarm tone, any1 knows how to do it?
and i like to use SE panel 02. just wondering can i change the background with my own picture instead of the colours scheme they offer?
recently i realise my phone ringtone keep jumping from vibrate and ring into ring only by itself. so fustrating. any suggestion?
thanks
For ingtones you can use any mp3s, for message tone you need to use a WMA or WAV. file which you have to put directly into the windows folder... for Alarm tone you can only use a WAV. file which also goes directly into the windows folder.....
Check your ringtone setting to see if you have set it to ring then vibrate...
To change the picture on the panel you need to get 2 pictures one vertical and another horizontal (you can use the same picture but you need 2 files) rename one to "00h" (horizontal) and one to "00v" for vertical. Then place them in program files, panels, sonyericsson panels, images folder. Notice theres alots of files with these kind of names you can replace any of them by renaming your file but this will over write the original colour backgrounds in the panel.
It is possible to use a MP3 file for message tone
No you would need to convert it to WMA or WAV

My text message tone is a MP3 file so it IS possible
I am curious if there is a way to add touch sounds to the system ui media file (system/media/audio/ui). I know how to add and change/replace alarms, ringtones, and notifications. And I know how to change/replace the touch ui sounds. What I want to figure out, is how to add ui sounds. I want to have a sound for whenever apps open. There will be the default touch sound, plus an additional one (like a warble or trill or whatever you want) as the app is opening. In all of my searching, i've yet to find anything on this. Thanks for any help!
EDIT:
sorry if this is in the wrong area. It's a question, but it's theme related so I figured this was the place to post. If not, i'm sure the mods will move it
i think you are answering your own question... or i dont get it
but u are on the right track
make a sound with .ogg extension and copy it to ui thats it
