Hi there,
From my Blackstone days I had a file and reg edit to create "multiple snooze" options for notifications.
So when your alarm or notification goes off, you could click the menu and choose to snooze in 5, 10, 15 etc minutes.
The only downside is that it removes the HTC big view of the notification, you get a Windows mobile default, which to be honest I prefer. This is only for notifications though, you know the message that appears on screen, nothing else, everything else stays the same.
I can make a cab which would make it totally installable / uninstallable if you like. Depends how many want it...
Excellent idea
Would these options be configurable? Would be much appreciated!
hi there,
no they would be the default Windows Mobile ones which the Htc Notifiations removes, think they are 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes.
I would be interested!
thank you
hi all, this has already been done. I've downloaded the cab already - couldn't find the thread, but it is on here.
I find the alarm on my HTC Pro 2 to be quite unreliable. The phone tends to crash for no apparent reason when sitting on the charger. I haven't fully investigated yet, but it seems to be often crashing at 1:55am whenever an alarm is specified the next morning :S
Having said that, I would like the option of having multiple snoozes to choose from. It's just so annoying my alarm clock crashes. Not good for waking up!
What I really need !!
I would be interested too! I miss this option very hard.
@martinjclarke: could you please look again or tell us the name of the cab-file to look for it
Thanks to all who help to solve this!

I've always wished the notifications COULD be tweaked - why in the world don't the Snooze options mirror those in Outlook? There are WAY too few options in Windows Mobile! How about 8 hours, for those things that might go off at 8am, and you would like to be reminded at the end of the workday?? Or many of the other options available on the Desktop version of Outlook...

I haven't seen this one before, but it may well be able. You usually find that things are duplicated in all forums as people create the same things as they have the same ideas.
I'll get it posted on here later then for people who want it.
it may have been this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3716251&postcount=2280
that's the name of the cab file I used anyway - and it works a treat. Can go back to constantly snoozing reminders by one hour and never getting any work done!
Works great except it didn't keep the HTC notification screen
Works great except it didn't keep the HTC notification screen, it's using the regular Windows one. Not a big deal, but doesn't look as slick. But thanks so much for the fix, HTC/TMobile missed that one big time. Nothing I dislike more than losing functionality when i upgrade.
hey,
anybody has additidonal wav sounds because the ones that come preloaded are not good. i tried a couple and put them in the sounds directory but they didnt show up in the change alarm ringtone.
thanks.
any help guys?
Frankly, I gave up on the stock alarm. I installed Klaxon, which is downloadable from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-klaxon.html#
See thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570876 for original recomendation poster
i've heard of it but isn't it unsupported?
As the title states I'm running dzo's latest with the 9-9-10 kernel. The issue is that when I get a call my phone rings once then just stays at the answer screen as though the phone should be ringing.
So has anyone had this issue with dzo's froyo, and if so what did you find to be the fix if u found one.

I am having the exact same issue, very annoying, no solution so far...
I'm unable to help factively, as I'm not running that build, but just to start troubleshooting... which kind of ringtone are you using?
Have you tried to use a different one (i.e: a song)
What's the result?
maybe this can help tracking the issue

It's a clean installation so no installed ring tones, only the once dzo included. I will try with some of the others to see if they all produce the same result.
Far from solving the issue, it may be a patch: having a song (obviously longer than a ringtone jingle) you'd hear it longer
Yes but if the filesize is too big then it will take a while to load the ringtone also which would mean you would miss the first dials and possibly altogether. This may be a dialer issue, I have noticed that android doesn't seems give the dialer a higher priority then the other active tasks for some reason. Does anyone know if we can set priority of activities in Android? If we can make the dialer the highest priority then your phone shouldn't have less issues.

Not only that, but a fix is what I'm after, not a workaround.
I've already posted a fix for this in dzo's original Fresh Froyo thread:

P.S. Have anyone noticed, that some ringtones (e.g. Digital Phone) ring only once? While still vibrating, and showing caller ID, the phone does not repeat the ringtone. I don't know, when it starts to happen, but it was in any ROM from July.

I had this problem as well, thought I'd share my finding and fix:
In OGG files I've found that there's an extra meta tag called ANDROID_LOOP which is set to 'true'. The Digital Phone ringtone doesn't have this tag, while others like the Classic Phone does (hence why the Classic ringtone repeats for incoming calls).
Here's what I did to fix this:
- Download and install Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net)
- Open the ringtone file in Audacity, note you can use mp3/wav files as well, Audacity can convert them into OGG.
- Select Open Metadata Editor for the File Menu
- Add a new tag called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to 'true'. (See screenshot here: g-sel.com/meta_editor.jpg (I can't post external links, so if a mod would like to edit this post and make them links, please feel free.))
- Click OK
- Select Export from the File Menu and select the Save As Type format as Ogg Vorbis Files.
- Click OK through File Save and Metadata dialogue window.
- Copy the new ringtone file onto your phone and enjoy
You can also copy the new file over the existing one as well:
- Open a terminal program (eg. Better Terminal from the marketplace) and run the following commands:
$su
#rwsystem
#cd /system/media/audio/ringtones
#cp <location of new ringtone> .
#chmod 644 <new ringtone filename>
#rosystem
#exit
- If you have added a new ringtone, ie. your own one not Android default, you will need to reboot the phone for the new ringtone to appear on the list.
Obviously change <location of new ringtone> and <new ringtone filename> to where you've saved the new file (eg. /sdcard/Ring_Digital_02.ogg and Ring_Digital_02.ogg).
PS. I don't think the CHMOD is really needed, but I like to keep things consistent so I do it anyway.

Indeed thanks to siwahem for a fix. And sorry ppelleg2003 if I came across short, I always appreciate input.
Forgot to mention that if you want to use your own sound for notifications then set the ANDROID_LOOP tag to false, otherwise the sound will keep looping non-stop. Only way to stop it, without killing the sound system, is to set the phone to silent mode, then back to normal profile.
Seems, this tag is ignored for alarm sounds though, non of the default alarm files have the tag, but I haven't tested it.
As for dialer priority issue, android actually uses a different process for phone calls. The dialer is part of the contacts app I believe.
Try Phone Prioritizer (it may be called Scheduled Scripting) app (here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558822). It runs periodically to set the main phone processes and launcher at higher priority. I've been using it and it works a charm, phone reacts, starts ringing and display the incoming call screen within the first ring.

This thread was about ring tones, your not likely to get much help with compcache, you might try the devs thread for the rom itself.
set vibrate to always fixed the problem for me.
I didnt see a thread so i just thought i would let people who did already know that ChevronWP7 released their Custom Ringtone Manager Today
you can Find It Here http://www.chevronwp7.com/
lol i was just coming on too see if anyone posted it, Just checked the site before bed randomly and saw that
Whay
Wow...it's a ghost town here. This is big news people!
That's gonna be really really amazing.
THX!
Tried it like 2 mins after they posted it up on twitter and it worked perfect. If there's any Fringe fans out there you may like the attached ringtone. I grabbed it from a rom I downloaded a while back and converted for use on WP7.
Oh my...I still wasn't able to unlock my Omnia7 with chevron-application. Always getting the USB error.
But I'd really like to have my custom ringtones
This works for me. Just dandy!!
For those who like Indiana Jones... 2 different tunes
Basic ringtone
Here is a basic ringtone. No Fur Elise, no Lady Gaga.... Just...
bleeleeleeleep .... bleeleeleeleep .... bleeleeleeleep ....
Was it sooooo much to ask for, that the phone come stock with an absolutely boring, non-personality ringtone?
Only problem I'm having is finding a converter to make them MWV
here you go , its 100% free and worked real well.
You can use (free) Microsoft Expression Encoder.

I tried this one but it isn't one for noob's ( I am that noob and I didn't understand a F*** of it )
Does the ringtone manager allow you to set your own alarm sounds / sms tones too?
No, only ringtones.
And you can only add new ringtones, not modify or delete existing.

Thx I'm gonna give it a try when I get home
Also, I think Microsoft Expression Encoder is free. You can convert.... almost anything to well... almost anything. Definitely to 48Khz WMA.
the ringtone it work.. well i added 5 personal ringtone
Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone that think otherwise...if you add 5 ringtones through the XAP and then reload an additional 5 ringtones it won't replace the ringtones, you'll get the other 5 (or more) in addition. Don't know if anyone was curious, but I was so I experimented with it.
Seeing how MS blocked/demanded they remove their other hacks, maybe someone should put a backup location for this app, just in case.

It doesn't have to be 48khz. I've loaded a few 44.1khz wmas and Chris Walsh himself acknowledged that 44.1 khz works as well in the comments.
i was suprised to see the ringtone size limitation(300kb) implemented on the newer androids. i didnt see any posts from the smarter folks on a work around or even trying to remove all together (like on froyo for example). is this only important to me? i understand how to recompress an mp3 file to achive required size or use 1 of the available market apps to accomplish the goal. i just thought it was nice to add any old song out of the library on a wim(i would change my wifes ring 2 or 3 times ina given day depending on how much she annoyed me)
guess im wondering if i bothers anyone else or if anyones working on a fix?

there are some (music) apps on the play store that can process ringtones.
I use PowerAmp (unfortunately it's a paid one) and use it to set ringtones. If you have GoSMS, that app also sets ringtones.....hopefully this one helps. If you are talking about "Assigning Tones" among contacts, it's quite challenging.
EDIT: oh...and just observed that .WAV files do good as tones...

Use Ringdroid - create your own ringtone from existing library songs, and cut them down to 30 seconds or less - if your phone rings longer, you get charged for the call

so its an carrier things not an andriod? its nice not to have to edit songs in ringdroid just add straight from your music dir. maybe if i load a rogers based rom....
Interesting that AT&T would do this but it makes good business sense.
Not many people know how to edit songs to make ring tones so rather then learn they will pay AT&T for there 2$+ ringtones.
Glad Rogers does not do that. I just find it's hard to find a good song that starts off relatively loud for a ringtone. This is why many people edit and grab the middle or the chorus of the song.
