The Alarms and Ringtones of Windows Phone 7

Here are the alarms and ringtones from Windows Phone 7 from the latest emulator build. They were created by taking Long Zheng's video, extracting the sound and cutting it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzrgGWYYZwU&feature=player_embedded)
Thanks to Anudeep for helping out!

Microsoft need to put many other style (no?). Because it's near to be all same sound!

I would be shocked if they don't. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if none of these are even in the final build. This is a beta emulator. Content like ring tones and alarms are extremely easy to add at the last second and often is so that they can keep it close to the vest.

Yes sure, i know but i was surprised when i heard these ringtones so i underline it

They're all from the same instrument.
I think these are just here for demonstration purposes. MS should know the deep hole the need to climb out of, and how important that each element of their new platform need to be, down to the most insignificant alarm sound.

Two Step is my current ringtone. That one actually isn't too bad

Yeah, upon hearing all of the ring tones, Two Step was the only one that actually sounded different... and good! Wouldn't be surprised if it makes the final cut

i took alarm 12 cut it in half and amplified it to use as my text ringtone

thx,but it sounds all the same.haha

Nice post

lol, it sounded like 4 keys of the piano just played in different orders. In that case, we'd have 24 alerts/ringtones.

Windows Phone 7 Key press sounds
I'm for the windows phone 7 oryginal keypress sounds. I use HD2 and i want to replace it for WP7 sound.
Could make a pack of these files for me?
Be very grateful

Request for update - can somebody gather all ringtones and alarm sounds form latest Tango ROM/emulator and if possible also custom NOkia/HTC/Samsung ringtones and alarm sounds and make them downloadable? Thanks

Thank you so much

can anyone tell me where the ringtones are in sys inside roms?
also how i might beable to set registry for default boot up sound?

windows phone
htc
in ringtone list i would like to add another catagory
oddly the nokia package installs its ringtomnes in the htc catagory!
i would like to orgnize and make nokia catagory as well!

Custom ring tone?

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.

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.

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.

What does that first part mean? I mean beyond the glaring error of the plural pronoun with a singular antecedent, what are you trying to say with the whole "burn their head" thing?

Bye Android fanboy, you wont be missed.
If you like the phone fine but these type of comments...just go away
May I make a suggestion for you ? Go to your local craigslist, list your phone for sale or trade, get a Android phone and stop trolling the WIndows Phone 7 areas...

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

[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!
http://www.xda-developers.com/windows_phone/randomize-ringtones-on-wp7/
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!

[XAP] MyRingtone2SMS (0.1.1 - May 28, 2012)

Hello xda-developers community
It's my first homebrew app, so be lenient, plz
What is MyRingtone2SMS?
It's very simple app, but quite useful
As we know it, Mango update added, among other things, possibility to add our ringtone, but only to incoming phone call.
MyRingtone2SMS just adds missing feature - change SMS/Email/Voicemail alert tone
How it works?
If you are using e.g. Free Ringtones app, it has ability to save ringtone ("Save Ringtone" window).
Window Phone OS, store this files (ringtones) in "\My Documents\My Ringtones\".
So, MyRingtone2SMS shows files (ringtones) from "\My Documents\My Ringtones\" and when you check the item, it appears in SMS/Email/Voicemail alert tone (in Settings).
Thats all! Now it's easy to set our favorite sms alert tone (e.g. "Power Rangers" )
MyRingtone2SMS 0.1.1
begin
New 0.1.1 version adds new features like changing alert characteristics! Now with MyRingtone2SMS u can change in SMS/Email/Voicemail:
- ringtone length
- ringtone volume
- vibration length
- vibration "position"
- breaks
This options are available in basic and advanced mode. In basic mode you just choose few options from menu or fill in textboxes. Advanced mode gives simple and powerful tool to customize your alert, like in Windows Mobile:
cX- set volume to X in percentage max volume,
pX- play ringtone for X seconds,
vX- vibrate for X seconds,
wX- wait for X seconds.
And also in 0.1.1: new WP7 Root Tools, new UI, check root access on startup, gives information about selected alert (small icons near ringtone name). More in changelog.
end
If u have any questions, suggestions, complaints, please write THX

I'll test it soon. Nice app

The app doesn't show any ringtones for me on my LG Quantum, I believe this is because the custom ringtone get saved to My Documents\Ringtones on the LG's or at least my phone for some reason rather than My Documents\My Ringtones. I hope you can add the My Documents\Ringtones file path in your next version

It's not so easy. Becouse files in \My Documents\My Ringtones\ don't have oryginal names but some kind of GUID. So, I take values from registry: \ControlPanel\Sounds\CustomProtectedRingtones and compare with files in that folder.

Ok
I have a suggestion ...
In next version, can you make a possible function to delete the keys in the list ??
In fact, i have download a ringtones in My Ringtones folder and it show in the list ! After, i have deleted this ringtones with WP7 Root Tools explorer and when i run MyRingtones2SMS, the ringtones is constantly in the list !!! If i click on, your app crash and closed ! ...
It is possible to delete the registry key and the ringtone directly with MyRingtones2SMS ??

Good job, THX

Just got it working and works well, thanks.

Looks like a cool and nice app.
Just wondering, is this also working for mail and voicemail or only IM/sms? Would be nice to also change these other two (allthough i think most people don't use voicemail so mail would be nice).
Personally i think the alert sounds are too loud so i want to change them to sounds with less volume but currently i cannot do this without going into regeditors and copy files into folders i shouldn't be using

My phone is interop unlocked, ROM unlocked (Tango) and also WP7 Root Tools but I can't view any fies or folders. It doesn't work at all. I am using an HTC Trophy CMDA (Spark_W).

Scratch that, a simple un-install and re-install did the trick; I can confirm that it is working like a charm. : )

I know they say "just use the thanks button" for these types of things, but I have to thank you with words. Mostly because I have a ton of WP7-toting friends, and we'd all reach for our phones when one of them went off due to the limited sound set. I've mostly averted it by sticking to the Nokia sounds that come with the Lumia 900, but they're upgrading to Lumias now, so it's not going to work for much longer.
Just have to wait for an interop unlock now (and I'm pretty sure it'll happen since the Lumia is a pretty popular phone it seems)

Nice One!
