Custom ring tone? - Windows Phone 7 General

Any chance WP7 will be modified to allow MP3 ring tones and alerts any time soon?
The sounds on there are alright, but I sorely miss my old tones.

Na, man, we are all waiting on that first update, which is speculated to fix stuff like that. Look around in January.

Thought i saw a tweet the WP7 chevron team are working on it already.
ether way it will be out quicker than MS intended it seems

.....See, turns out it's tomorrow now... lol

Windows Phone 7–Custom ringtones
http://blog.walshie.me/

But to install it you have to be a little resourceful now -- since they took chevronwp7 offline (and the certificate that you need to install on the phone, too).
So the steps now are:
1. get the certificate, email it to yourself & install
2. install wp7 developer tools or add registry manually
3. run chevronwp7 & unlock
4. run app loader program from developer tools & upload xap
in step 2, you might as well install the developer tools.. you need it to sideload the xap anyhow... ChevronWP7 doesn't actually sideload; it only unlocks.

Damn... I have the app... should have downloaded the certificate as well

There is a thread offering both, the needed Unlocker exe file plus the .cert file.

[Q] adding alarm and alert tones

Hi everyone
i've had nothing but good things happen so far with the threads on doing custom ringtones, but on the same token, i was wondering if it was possible to do the same thing to the alarms and alerts,
say what you will about the factory alarm tones, nothing is more effective in the morning than Time by Pink Floyd

already, that's fantastic, a big thanks on behalf of everyone!
Items required:
Unlocked (with ChevronWP7 or Developer unlocked) WP7 device
ChevronWP7 Ringtone Installer
MS Expression Encoder or other audio conversion software
XAP Installer (Tom XAP or WP7 SDK Application Deployment)
TouchXplorer: http://forum.touchxperience.com/download/file.php?id=44&sid=5129675be033d863b931bdc3bee51b36
1. Choose files to use as alert/alarm sounds. If in WMA format already skip to step 3.
2. Using MS Expression or equivalent, convert files to WMA.
3. Rename desired alert tones to Alert-01.WMA (you can subsitute the number based on what sound you'd like to replace, because we will be overwriting the corresponding sound) or for alarms it'd be Alarm-01.WMA (or corresponding). NOTE: You will be overwriting the sounds so make sure you review all sounds and make sure you don't mind not having them anymore if you're overwriting them.
4. Using ChevronWP7 Ringtone Installer deploy these files to your device through an XAP Installer.
5. Install TouchXplorer by deploying XAP to device.
6. Using TouchXplorer navigate to My Documents>My Ringtones and highlight desired alert/alarm sound. Bring up the menu and copy it. Navigate back to root menu and go into Windows. Paste alert/alarm sound; it will ask if you wish to overwrite, click yes. Done. Repeat for all other alert or alarm sounds.
NOTE : I believe this will only work on HTC phones ATM, since TouchXplorer only works on HTC devices for now.
Why cant I just use the windows deployment tool (on focus) , renaming the files , I tried installing an alert using the chevron and it sent it to the ringtone folder , I made the alert, Alert-11 since they were all in sequence, but I'll try just renaming the files , if I have to use Toms Ill try that, but I cant use the touchexpress (and theres no equivelent that i know of for samsung,yet)
It does allow me to install touchexpress , but all I is the "My Device" search , not sure if it works or needs certain parameters to use to find anything, also I dont know the file structure in this phone anyway, it does have all menu items but grayed out, so it might get an update later on and work
I guess Microsoft doesnt want this on the device !
" TouchXplorer has been Revoked by Microsoft , you'll have to re-install it, but it just stays on for a minute before getting revoked again!
Download the alarm clock w/ weather app...lets you assign any song you have in Zune as an alarm tone (touchxplorer only works with htc devices)...plus it acts as a nice bedside clock with weather information
it might be worth getting the app just to see how they import the songs!

Hack my ringtones is succesfull, tomorrow i will try to rewrite some alert tones.
@eternalemb - thanks for the tip! i successfully added my rooster alarm and much louder txt msg and email tones!
I did it too
R2D2 as my text tone
Thanks for your time and good work!!!
Anyone figure out how to do it without an HTC Device. I have the DVP and the alarms that come with the device are no way near loud enough to wake me up. My old alarm was set to Chop Suey by System of a Down! WAKE UP!!!! I have a developer account as well if that will help.

Unlike for ringtones, there's no function for adding them in the OS (ringtones use Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended I think) other than using file manipulation, or registry tweaks, both of which can only be done on HTC devices at the moment.
This is great!!! Worked a treat for the alerts. Just need to do the alarms now.
Just one question..... There seems to be a limit on the number of alerts. Has anyone else come across this? Originally there are 10 alerts so I created an 11th but this doesn't seem to get picked up at all.

The alerts are listed in the registry by name, you're replacing one of the built in ones, so no changes are needed there, adding an extra alert will only work if you can edit the registry.

Custom ringtones on Mango WITHOUT dev-unlock

Hey all, I saw a couple threads on this, but I found this and thought that it would clear up some of the confusion for making custom ringtones on a NON-Dev unlocked version of Mango.
http://windowsphonesecrets.com/2011/06/28/custom-ringtone-support-in-mango-explained/
I used Audacity and the lame_enc.dll file to make a short ringtone mp3 and then moved it to my phone in the newer version of Zune. After that, I right-clicked on the file and went to edit and manually changed the genre to "Ringtone" (yes, with a capital 'R'). From that point, it did NOT show up in my music on my phone but appeared under the word "Custom" in my ringtone selection. This was actually relatively painless and pretty cool. Hope this tutorial helps people using the Non-Dev Unlocked Mango.
Red.
Samsung Focus
Mango Beta2 Non Dev Unlocked
All thanks to XDA as usual.
A perhaps easier way than using some software to cut the MP3 would be to simply use a webbased service like http://cutmp3.net/
Most people won't need the additional capabilities of audacity and for a few files this non-install version will do.

Create ringtones on Mango:
Create your own ringtones so you can match your jingle to your mood, or match just the right tune to your contacts. Just make sure the audio file is:
• In MP3 or WMA format.
• Less than 40 seconds.
• Less than 1 MB.
To make any file that fits these criteria into a ringtone on a PC, all you have to do is assign it the genre of "ringtone" in the Zune software. If you don't have the Zune software on your computer, see Install the Zune software.
To create a ringtone using the Zune software
1 Open the Zune software and find the file you want to turn into a ringtone.
2 Right-click the file, and then click Edit.
3 In the GENRE list, click or type Ringtone, then click OK.
4 Connect your phone to your computer using a cable, and then sync the file to your phone
Wish Microsoft would have added custom ringtones when they first released the OS. Simple mishaps like this has caused major blows to this platform in my point of view. I like the fluidity and overall look of WP7 but its lacking essential features. So I bound to head back to android or WM6.5.
That capability existed in the original release of software - it was briefly documented on the earliest versions of the Windows Phone manual posted on the AT&T site, however, for whatever reason it was not available to users in the released version of the phones. No info whether that was due to Microsoft changing their mind, or the carriers optioning that feature out.
...and I clearly need to change my .sig - it is soooo out of date!
I Wonder if there is a way to use builtin ringtones as Textmessage tone - i would like to use the Sound 'portal'...

Builtin as ringtones, MAY be possible but they have to be in WMA format. You'll have to create a WMA, copy it to the ISOStore of one of the apps on the phone using Windows Phone Power Tools then use WP7 Root Tools 0.7 to copy it to the \Windows directory. From there you'll have to rename one of the Alert-xx.wma files to something else and rename your wma to Alert-xx.wma. It should work. I changed my Alert-06 for my e-mail to be the old "You've Got mail" sound from AOL
Alternatively, use the Advanced Config for WP7 Mango tool (on TouchXperience). Requires interop-unlock, of course, but provides a nice interface that lets you set the registry keys controlling various sounds to whatever sound files you have installed.
The only catch is that if you open the Sound control panel, it'll reset to some default. If you rename an alert file and then copy the file that you want to use into the name of the renamed file (using WP7 Root Tools, TouchXplorer, or a provxml file) then you can use the control panel directly.
That one didn't work for me (HTC Trophy) - The Text Message Sound is then Set to "None" and I dont get any Sound
Did you open the control panel after running Advanced Config, like I specifically said not to do lest your changes be reset to defaults?
No, there wasn't any tone before I went to the controlpanel. That was the reason why I went there later

My Focus and I are running back to NoDo as fast as possible..

..unless there's a working registry solution for Samsung devices in Mango. I suppose I thought fast app switching was developer code independent, but it seems I need to apply the dehydration hack to achieve the results I want.
Here's some background in case anyone can help me load a registry editor on here or revert to NoDo, apply the tweak, and then upgrade back again:
1. I have no idea where my backup actually saved to, but I know it's there. Does anyone know what the known locations are? The actual file extension?
2. I used the cracked tool to upgrade to Mango. I'm a dev but I'm stuck in GeoTrust verification which won't let me dev unlock (or upgrade using the official tool) until that process is complete.
3. Are there any other tweaks I should apply while in NoDo land?
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update
Fast task switching is developer-code independent, but third-party apps written using the pre-Mango SDK will have their Activate (rehydrate) function called when you switch to them. In many cases, this will cause the app to waste some time. Even in Mango, non-foreground apps aren't actually running - they're just suspended (in RAM but inactive). Resume *can* be instant, but it requires that the app be aware of suspend/resume, which requires that it be a Mango app.
Registry tweaks made while in NoDo should carry over to Mango. My phone carried its custom accent color and a few other changes across the update just fine.

FYI, I was stuck there as well. As it turned out, I didn't submit the required icon images and screenshot. It sat in a waiting for GeoTrust verification without telling me my submission was incomplete.
Not sure if this helps but I figured I may as well pass along my experience.
I also I put a .99 price on the shell app I submitted. I obtained my dev account via DreamSpark and I remember reading that you will waste one of your 5 free apps if you don't put a price on the verification app.

The free apps limit has been raised to a hundred. So that's not really relevant anymore.
You could also do it the way I did - actually write a basic application and submit it when you've got the core functionality done. Then keep working on it and as soon as it's published, submit an update that actually just finishes the app.

How do I create custom Accent themes?

The 10 colors on WP7 Mango just aren't doing it for me. I'm pretty new so could anyone give me a few pointers on how to change these colors to ones of my own liking?
My info:
HTC Trophy
Verizon Wireless
Mango 7712
Edit: I probably should have posted this in Q&A I'm sorry!
If you are unlocked and running anything other than Mango 7661 than you want to install Advanced Config. This allows you to set custom themes, custom ring tones, etc.
I'm trying to unlock my device, but I'm finding it impossible since I can't send an .exe file to my phone via any email service and you cannot unzip on WP7 so how do I go about doing this?
the exe is run from the computer
read the guide before you start
the .cer is run from the phone

Actually this was also the case for me, however after flashing with Ansar's 5.01 Trophy ROM, Advanced Config no longer do the trick for me.. Also Registry Editor no longer changes anything. But I've got IS working, so I'll live without Accent Color changing for a while until a new ROM gets released (DFT v2).
@Seed 2.0: You're instructing the owner of an HTC phone to use a tool that only runs on Samsung phones. Think about that one for a sec.
@e_rl: The Chevron Labs unlock will let you sideload "most" apps to your phone, but doesn't allow apps that can access high permissions (ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES). This includes anything like Advanced Config. For that you need "interop-unlock" which is difficult to get on HTC phones - you pretty much have to roll back to NoDo to get it right now (yes, it's a pain). You also need to have the Connection Setup app from HTC's marketplace, so don't bother rolling back if you don't. Then look up the threads on "U2M7720". It will also get you on the release build, which is a good thing - still running 7712 by now is just pointless.
Oh, by the way, the color shown in the ads is actually on the phone already, or t least on all the ones I've seen so far. It used to be called "orange" and was renamed to "mango" for this version release. Still, it's nice to be able to use truly custom colors.

Hey man i see you mention HTC phones rolling back to NODO to get interop unlocked . I was under the impression that you would have to be Pre nodo , which is impossible on the Verizon Trophy .. i think . I was led to believe that Interop unlock on the Verizon trophy at all is impossible ... are you saying that it is ? Because i still have a nodo backup and have no issue with going back to it if it means interop .
Or maybe i am misunderstanding you .. thanks for any light you can shed on the situation !
No, you only have to roll back to *some* pre-Mango build (7403, the intermediate build between NoDo and Mango, even works; it doesn't have interop-lock).
The reason for rolling back to pre-NoDo is if you needed to use the original ChevronWP7 Unlocker, which doesn't work on NoDo or newer. If you have a developer (AppHub) account, or if you use the new ChevronWP7 Labs unlocker, you can dev-unlock the phone on NoDo and then install U2M7720.
Sorry for being a pain , but im relatively new to WP7 and you just made my entire week by saying interop is possible . Could you maybe lay out a step by step ? I am currently unlocked via Chevronlabs (new one) .
Word around the Trophy section is grim and this would bring some excitement to everyone if it works .
I do not have HTC connection settings in my HTC market ... does that mean its no good now ?
Yeah, sorry - if you don't have Connection Setup then you won't be able to interop-unlock on Mango right now. It's possible another app can be used the same way, but that will require more investigation. To be honest, I've not actually used U2M7720 myself - I interop-unlocked my HD7 by upgrading to Mango during its pre-release period, and using Connection Setup - but there have been multiple reports of it working.
The trick is that Connection Setup is an interopservices app that can be run on Mango anyhow, because it's marketplace signed, but it reads a file on the device that can contain additional operations to perform while setting up your connection (the \Windows\CustClear.provxml file). Prior to Mango, you use an interop app to place that file there (numerous apps exist, U2M7720 is one such but hardly the only - you can even do it manually using TouchXplorer). Then after upgrading, you run Connection Setup and it processes the registry change instructions in the provxml file for you. This makes the required changes to interop-unlock your phone.
The catch is that the official upgrade straight from NoDo to Mango also installs an HTC update that breaks the ability of Connection Setup to use the CustClear.provxml file. U2M7720 works around this by using the beta-upgrade path, putting your phone on retail Mango but without the HTC update (it can still be installed, but installs separately). Because I upgraded my phone from the pre-release anyhow, I didn't need U2M7720. Connection Setup isn't optional, though.
EDIT: Connection Setup is now back in the Marketplace! Much rejoicing to be had.
hmmm .. so would it work if you (or some other fine xda member) uploaded the xap for connection setup? Also , I upgraded to mango during the beta prerelease as well , but then did the official update .
So even if i roll back to NODO , since i did the official update , it will still be broken ? Thats terribly disappointing .
I guess it is impossible after all .

umm.... Advanced Config originally started on HTC devices am i wrong? Samsung Focus has some mishandled exception error when launching.
@goldenpipes: It's totally possible that it did. This fact is even remotely relevant why? It's been available for, and functional on, HTC, Samsung, and LG phones for many months now, since well before Mango.

Unfortunately, after the Win32Exception error, the apps UI works, but in terms of functionality it doesnt (for me at least), it throws a whole bunch of error codes at me when I try to apply the custom accent changes...

[XAP][0.3] RandomRingtone - Updated 10/07/2012

Shalom to you all!
I've developed a small application I've always wanted - RandomRingtone.
When I owned a Symbian-based phone, I had this little app that changed my ringtone after each call.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to know if you've just finished a call or not, so I had to use a background agent instead.
This app will select a random ringtone from your Custom ringtones, and set it as your ringtone. This will happen once every thirty minutes or so.
Version history:
0.1 - 13/04/2012
Initial app release
0.2 - 20/04/2012
Added option to set Toast notification
Revamped UI
0.3 - 10/7/2012
Upgraded Root Tools version to 0.2.1.0
Added ability to Randomize SMS Tone
Bugs squashed
Future updates:
Ability to randomize from built-in ringtones as well
Release of source code(It currently looks like a mess, I'll probably make it pretty and release it soon)
New Icon
Choose which Ringtones to randomize from Ringtones list
Currently tested on:
Omnia 7
HD7
Focus
I really hope this works on other devices, but since I have no way of checking, I'd be more than happy for your feedback if this worked on your device.
This app uses the Root Tools SDK developed by Heathcliff74, and I thank him for that.
This also means you need install Root Tools SDK and give this app permission, or use a full rooted ROM.
Enjoy!
Shalom
Cool app, appears to work great on my HD7.
Thanks
great!
Thanks for this...
I have a suggestion... Is there a way to allo0w the app to update daily instead of every 1/2 hr?
again thanks man... Bout 2 start using... jejeje
will give it a shot

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll consider it for a future version.
If I will add this, you won't be able to select a specific time. You'll have the ability to select a timespan in which the ringtone will be updated.
On Samsung Focus it seems to have an issue. It selects the same selected ringtone every time.
I have 8107 with WP7 Root Tools.
When you open the app and click "Randomize", does the program select the same ringtone as well every time?
Yup the same ringtone.
Since I don't have Focus, I'll need you to check something.
Go to WP7 Root Tools and open these two folders:
Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds\CustomProtectedRingtones
Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds\CustomRingtones
and check which ringtones you have there.
Screenshot could be even better
Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds\CustomRingtones is empty and screenshot attached for Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds\CustomProtectedRingtones
That's... a bit odd. are you sure the windows phone settings page displays all the other custom ringtones you added to it?
Two more tests:
1) open WP7 Root Tools again, but this time go to "explorer" and check these folders:
My Documents > Ringtones
My Documents > My Ringtones
2) Go to the Settings on your Windows phone, and select a custom ringtone which was not displayed in the registry test.
Now open WP7 Root Tools and navigate to this registry entry:
Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
and paste here the value of the "Sound" entry.
Ok Figured it out. I had only one custom ringtone. Added few more and now its fine. Cheers!!!
Hey there
I'm usually on the Android side of things, but I really want WP7 to be a bigger success here on XDA and I thought your app here was goofy and fun...so I wrote about it!

I hope you enjoy my little write up keep up the good work. If I had a WP7, I'd definitely have this installed.
Thanks for this Post!
I definitely hope it'll make awareness for Windows Phone. It's a pretty sleek thing, and a fine alternative to iPhone.
BTW, you forgot to mention this in your post - This app is only available to interop-unlocked phones, meaning ones which you can use functions that Microsoft don't usually allow.
Plus, it needs root access to the phone which is done through a little tool called "Root Tools".
People should know the homebrew community in WP7 is gaining speed these days!
New version released, some bugs squashed,
Hope you'll enjoy this a bit more now!
