Hi,
The way I do it is as follows:
1. Make sure your phone is unlocked (Chevron unlocker)
2. Choose your tone and convert it to WMA format and rename it Alert-01
3. Use Chevron ringtone installer to convert it to a xap file and then install it
either with the microsoft tools or Tom Xap installer.
4. Install Touchexplorer xap to your phone.
5. Now when you go into the menus you will see Chevron ringtones, click on this
and it will show the ringtones installed, your will show here.
6. Go into Touchexplorer and navigate to "My Documents" and then MyRingtones"
7. Copy these files and navigate back to the "Windows" folder (takes a short while
to open)
8. When it opens paste the files in the folder, it will ask to overwrite the
existing one,but as you don't like them it won't make any difference.
9. Now when you go to "Settings" you will be able to choose the alert you
installed, just remember what number you gave it.
The same method can be done for Alarms.
This has been posted before but I can't remember exactly where in the threads as it took me a while to find it, but thanks to the original poster (you know who you are)
Hope this helps, and I have got the details right.

Hey guys, does anyone know how to set the sms into my own sounds for P3300? I try many times but still do not know how to save the file under which directory.....help please...
you have to change the extension of the file and then should put in windows folder to access that file for sms
Thanks for replying, dude.
What should I change on the extention if it is a MP3 format? And where should I copy to?
Thanks.....
SMS tones need to have a .wav extension if I remember correctly, and placed directly in the windows folder.

Ok, so I have a sound I want to hear when an sms message arrives, and I converted it to *.wav and put it in the Windows directory. How do I replace this sound with the original sms sound?
edit:
I think I already know. Once you've put in the windows folder it automaticly is shown in the list where you can change you ringtone sound, incoming mail sound, etc.
Maybe this is a better way
Just install this application and you have done it
I want to take 1 Alert tone from the Dopod C730, and install them in my S630. Can this be done? The alerts says, You have a message. Attached is the file, it is labeled play list 2. It was the only way that I could copy them from the C730, but although it says it is a WM file, I can't get it to play.
Thanks for your help.
try to go to \application data\sound on your dopod c730 and here you can find all the tones used for allerts not for calls.. there should be one called SMS copy it into your sd and than in your pc..

No thank you I love having the ringers and sms tones
thank you for sharing the sounds. Working great on the t-mobile shadow.
I have a Tilt 2 running 6.5 with the new ROM. I have added new ringtones to the 'My Documents/My Ringtones' and those work great.
However, I am at a lack to figure out how to add new tones for the Reminders. It appears it uses a completely different set of tones and I don't like any of them or they are too soft. I want to add my own Reminder tones.
Is there a way to do this?
How are these tones installed into the phone?
Thank you,
Exlorador of file, my tones of stamp, you choose the one that you like, to edit, to copy, folder windows, to edit, to stick and I list. You can add all those that you should love. I you hope to have helped in something.
I appologize, but your post doesn't mean very much to me.
You seem to indicate you have tones, but you don't provide a link to where they are. I do not need new tones.
I did discover that the "Reminder" tones are in the "Windows" folder, but none of the tools I have allow access to the "Windows" folder.
Does anyone have any tools that will allow transfering files into the Windows folder?
Thanks

Use Total Commander. Works great and it's free...
We are talking about the "Windows" folder on the Tilt 2 phone correct?
Because when I installed the Total Commander on my PC it didn't even see the phone, let alone see the "Windows" folder on the phone.
With Vista, even the default Windows Explorer shows the phone and subfolders, but it does not show the "Windows" folder, which is what I am attempting to gain access to.
Thanks,
Richard..

Yes... the Windows folder on the phone...
Don't use the PC version of Total Commander. That won't help you. You need to install Total Commander on your phone. There is a PPC version on that site. Install it, then copy files you want to transfer to your somewhere on your phone (your Storage Card would be best), then copy to your device's Windows folder using Total Commander on your phone.
I hope this helps...
Also, I believe you can change the folder settings on your PC to allow you to see the Windows folder, but it still may not let you copy system files there. Total Commander always lets you do that.
Hello there,
just for your info - maybe it helps somebody:
after some days of trying i found the shortmessages (with tel-number etc.) and some other stuff in a file:
1. Explore your phone with Windows Phone Device Manager
2. goto \Application Data\
3. Add "\Microsoft" to the path (under the file-explorer logo)
4. goto Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore
5. Rename "store.vol" to something like "store.vol.txt" (it is mandatory to rename this file - without this step the file is in use by outlook)
6. extract it (drag n drop)
7. run perl script (#perl test.pl store.vol.txt)
8. See output
Maybe one of you could build a backup application or something like that!
Link to perl script:
http://uploaded.to/file/he26q0d2
Original source of script:
http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/pocketpc-dev/21040/Reading-pim-vol-EDB-File-on-a-PC
Edit:
Don't know if you've seen it:
\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore\data
ALL emails and other messages + contact-pictures + signature (three sizes) (just edit the file extension to .html or .jpeg - hex edit helps to find what is right )
\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
-> TabsStorage.bin: Opened tabs from internet explorer (where are the cookies?! )
\Applications\Data\82A23635-5BD9-DF11-A844-00237DE2DB9E\Data\IsolatedStore
ALL Facebook-Information (if app is installed), including messages, pictures, notifications etc. etc.
\Application Data\Location\Cache
Wifi & GSM Data when features is enabled in WP7-preferences (encrypted?! don't know..)
Much more to come...
greets

Thanks! Looks interesting, I might try that!
Hey just wondering but does syncing with outlook have the option to sync texts? Only reason I wonder is because you said that file was in use by outlook....

Hey,
i just THINK it's in use
If you look at this file without renaming it's at 0,00 KB and you can't extract it. Maybe the contacts-tile or something else is using it
Hi Endeffekt,
thank you for this great hint!
But one more question before I try. Is it possible, to rename the file after the procedure back to "store.vol" without losing the messages on the phone?

WP7 creates a copy of this file (automatic), so no problemo sir
Great! Alle messages are there. But the script doesnt work for me.
Now we need a smart developer who can make a viewer for it.
Is there a way to copy the vol file back to the phone? Or is the file always locked? For restore reasons...
I think this is very interesting (possibility to backup/restore SMS), so probably we should keep it on the front page so the devs could notice it.
Has anybody tried to restore that store.vol into the device after a reset? I mean rename the current store.vol to any filename, then copy the backed up store.vol to the phone and restart.
I'd like to try but i need to get hold all my current sms!

SMS retreival on Windows phone 7 using device manager
Hey all.
I have an Samsung Omnia phone 7. Dev unlocked. Running 7.0.7004.0
Anyone any idea how to view the file in question? I need to download this file, and save the SMS entries to my PC.
When I use device manager, I cant see a folder called
\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore
I mean, when I copy and paste the above text into the path, its just beeps and doesnt show anything.
On the root under file explorer, I have
My Documents (which is empty)
Windows (lots of files in it)
-ActiveSync
-Application Data
--KeyStorage
-AppMgr
-ColdInit
-eventlog
and a few others
When I open the Application Data folder, I only have a 'Key Storage' (certainly no Microsoft folder, and I tried typing it incase it was hidden or something , but just a ping sound and no refresh of the file list)
and when I open Key Storage, I have no files.
Any help working out why I cant see these folders / store.vol file would be very much appreciated
Does Windows Phone Device Manager not support this functionality on the Omnia?
Thanks
this should be a sticky, and testers needed
Using the diagnosis code 5**6244*3
I was able to open the Apps Launcher and Shortcuts Menu and can confirm that the path \Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore exists on my Focus.
In that folder, I have:
temp
0
4
6
3
19
8
Each of these folders has a list of single alpha named folders (a, b, c, d, e, etc...)
Each of these alpha folders has a single .dat file
I haven't tried to extract those files to try to play with them. I don't know how I would with the Focus... But just confirming the path exists on my Focus and has the .dat files
thank you munkeyphyst, still waiting for endeffekt

Thanx for your hard work... Any success???? i'm intrested in the extraction of sms in the form which can b read on computer. i tried as you said renamed and copied to computer but i can not read that in computer... is it encrypted ?? Any help in that is appreciated.......
I've checked out all the EDB recovery/readers on teh net and cannot open one of these "edb" files from the phone.
if anyone knows the architecture of the file, I can parse it and have a program ready quickly.
some talk about EDB
What you need:
1) a DEV Unlocked WP7.5 device via Chevron Labs or PreMango Unlock or the Windowbreak unlock
2) ChevronWP7 Ringtone manager
3) WP7 SDK for App Deployment install of XAPs
4) WP7RooTools
5) 2 WMA (not MP3) ringtones, 1 the length/edit of a song you want and 1 the 39sec cut of the song you want, NAME THEM EXACTLY THE SAME
Steps:
1) Create and install the custom ringtones you want with the Ringtone manager and execute the APP on you phone
2) install the 39sec version via ZUNE
3) Run WP7RootTools
4) go to the My Documents Folder, 2 folders are created 1 named My Ringtones where the Chevron7 Ringtones are and 1 named Ringtones where the Custom Mango Ringtone is saved, and as you see the file has been RANDOMLY renamed
5) go to the Chevron7 Ringtone and rename it exactly the same as the Custom Mango Ringtone
6) Copy the one you renamed
7) Paste and Replace the Custom Mango Ringtone with the one you renamed
8) press home
9) go to Settings>ringtones+sounds
10) play the ringtone and it should be the the longer/editted version you wanted and not the 39 sec Mango Ringtone
HOPEFULLY someone can make a Custom App we can XAP install and do all this for use
will test it out now and repot back
if this thing realy works, then we might have a solution
Seems overly complicated, especially considering that another way to do the same thing, plus more (also alarms and alerts), but easier, was already posted on the first page of this forum before your post!
