XDA IIs - Customise Text Message / Ring Tone ?

Hiya Guys
Newbie here, and I just got my first 02 XDA IIs PDA phone and I think its absolutlely awesome
I just have two small queries at this moment in time.
Q1. What are my options with regards ringtones, as it says it cant play mp3's as ringtones, is this true ? are there apps out there that allow this, if not will it play any other type of extension, i.e. *.wav, *.wmv ?
Q2. Also is there a way of changing the text sms message sound, again to play something different, ideally I would like this to be wav or mp3.
Many thanks and I hope to be able to contribute a lot as I learn.
All the best.
Matt

Hi Matt....
With all my respect bro,(and this is not only addressed to u),i ask every Newbie to this forum to read and search before posting....This topic was answered several times before(maybe more than 100!!!!),and a simple search for "mp3 as ringtone" will hit the bull in the eye... :wink: (search is on top of ur page).
Now regarding ur questions,here u go....

Put the .wav file u wish to assign as sms ringtone in the windows folder,then u can find it in settings/sounds and notifications under sms notification....(i haven't tried other extentions,but give em a shot if u like..)

Oh man I bet y'all sick of hearing this question eh ?
Really sorry dude, wrists slapped, and points noted
Many thanks for your advice though, really appreciate it and I shall certainly make use of the search function in future
I run my own web site and forum http://www.fzr1000.co.uk and what I tend to do is put 'sticky' topics for questions most answered, never really implemented the search function I shall have to look into this.
Thanks again for the advice mate, I shall browse all the search related topics
Cheers.
Matt

Never mind bro....Helping gentlemen like u will always be my pleasure..

Official 'Lets find some decent sounds' Thread

Ok, i dont know about anyone else but im getting fed up with the standard ringtones, message tones, notifications etc etc.
This can be the thread where we all contribute to getting everyone some decent sounds on there Hermes!
Feel free to add any sounds for any purpose, im sure someone will appriciate yours!

LoL.. I see you hooked up on rings..
Well.. here I will share mine.. I got a lot more but those can`t be shared since they are commercial..
But the free ones I collected are here..
There is a folder named "Made by Shamanix".. in there are rings that I`ve made out of couple of songs that I like very much ( music that I personally listen to )
They are kinda little too big ( only 2 of them ), but I am not in the mood to edit them now..
Tell me what you think

Enjoy..

Theres some good ones in there matey! The msg one is good but a bit long lol.
Started the thread well!

nice thread... err... i will find some nice ones too and post it here

Here's a little something...
...I put together a while back. It is also a bit large, but it works as a ringtone, and also as an alarm from within PhoneAlarm (where I use it to let me know when my train has arrived at my station).
It is a small clip from the Dark Side of the Moon Album by Pink Floyd ... many of you might remember the bells/clocks sequence just before the song "Time".
That album was always one of my favs, and as such, I clipped this out to use as an alarm.
Hopefully, I'm not breaking any copyright laws by posting it here. If I am, PLEASE Mods, go ahead and delete it.
-pvs

I like the Nokia dead one.
But does anyone have the same concept but for a regular old school telephone ring?

Anybody back up their WM5 rings?
I'm missing some of the stock WM5 rings (like "fantasy" which I used for phone calls). Maybe someone out there backed up their WM5 files? Or can somehow upload some of the stock from their prior build?

The Windows Mobile Extras site has some free ones that are alright. I use the Halo theme from there. It's much fun.

here some i made for me and the wifey..about 30 of them. Also included 2 message tones: Homer "mail call" and star trek's "incoming transmission

Rename to .wma for the 24 CTU ringtone

Warez aren't allowed here bud. Try reading the rules before trying to help out.

i use mobile9.com alot. they have alot of good stuff.

@16oz
The Mods are gonna smack fire out of you for posting that stuff.

I just use Audacity, it's freeware and pretty easy...

Here's my contribution. There over a hundred so there should be something for everyone! Enjoy!!

When I get around to it I'll stick some up that I've found....
Such as R2D2? Robin Williams GMV holler, some of the simpsons and that sort of stuff
But I could do with some basic rings too

Phone call / Contact picture Bigger??

Hey,
You know when youre on the phone or the call is incoming you see a photo selected for that particular contact. Well it is kind of small ...
Any way to see a bigger portrait picture on the phone call screen?

If you get photo contacts pro then you can set them up to show in full Screen. check my signature for it.

Why is there a black dude giving me a disapproving look in my Walkman?

This guy popped out in my Walkman "my music" page, and I have no idea who he is or why does he have that look of disapproval on his face.
Joking aside, why did he appear and how do I get him off my Walkman? Also, I don't have any black artist's music in my music library, and I never ran that awful "download music info" thing.

he is an artist i guess
seem to have seen somewhere...cant recall thgh.... frgt it.
so i guess that there somethng wrng wid ur settings
frst untick settings like
download when connected to wifi/net
untick download id3 tags/albumart or anythng that sounds like it
then download quick pic (im telling this because its will be easy to list all of ur pics down ) tap menu and show hiddeb images ..browse evry folder and delete the file if u find any
but maybe this method could work .Am not sure thgh -settings-apps-mange apps-find ur music player-clear data and cache

lol :laugh: i think that's nate dogg

It's a Google+ update. Looks like a load of nonsense, especially if you don't use Google+...

Holy sh*t. Your being haunted by the ghost of Nate Dogg!

I fixed it. Looks like it was something that was downloaded at some point by the download music info thingy, I guess. Most probably one of my recordings that got misnamed by the download music info I must have ran at some point without realizing it.
In the SD, go to android->data->com.sonyericsson.mediaextra->artistimage, in there you will find some files named only by numbers with no extension, those are artist images that appear in some places in the walkman. You can rename them to give them a .jpg extension and then you can open them. I deleted them all, and now I don't have any weird guy popping up when I browse my music.
So yeah, you can do this to remove or possibly replace artist images in the walkman.

[Star Wars] Droid R2D2 Sound Pack

Been using these for a couple years now, simply a compilation of sounds from our favorite "droid" =)

Let me know if the link expires (don't think it will).
Enjoy!

firefox firus warning.. mp3 after unzip dosnt work.. mybe Avast dosnt like it.. or is corrupted?

False negative? Unless you have some other service intercepting the file.
Hmm, the original link is bad, I had to restructure my copy.com folder locally.
I'm reuploading a new file with several more notifs.https://copy.com/MkMNOPc9FFxoSMat

I know this is an old thread, but copy.com does not allow downloads since May 2016.
Any chance of a re-up?
Thanks!

Received the same error and could not download. I can see the files and try to click the blue download button in the topright corner but always some error typically that copy.com is not working since...blah blah. I will look for replacement since I love r2d2 and would love my phone to be that smart (someday).
