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..

Hi. Welcome to XDA When I first signed up to xda I had no idea what I was looking for or what I even wanted to do to my phone. Being familiar to the whole forum edict rather than asking questions that have already been answered a million times over I noticed the handy dandy search function.
An example: Regarding you above question I searched, "rhodium custom sms tones for contacts" and was quickly presented with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407933
I have no personal experience with this program but I imagine that you are not the first person to request such a thing so there are probably plenty of options out there Youtube is also a good reference source since you can search your phone and see custom things people have done to it. Check out the rom section for an all over makeover for you phone.
Xda's database is intimidating to say the least but sorting through what you need is pretty simplistic Good luck pimping you phone
I want to do this things:when the call is active, vibrator to remind me.
but I can't find the apk, and only find these: blurphone.apk, PhoneAddons.apk
Somebody help me~~ and thanks all.

If I understand you properly, you want that your phone vibrate when the outgoing call connected.
In this case find the following free app in the Market:
Extra Phone Settings
PS: I you have any more similar question, please post it into the Defy General topic. Thanks.
Hi,
I think there is a very useful app needed in all smartphone...and specially in the fantastic galaxy s2: the offline voicecommands.
People, like me, that have not the possibility to get always connected to the net, need the offline voicecommands like the mororola smartphones. We just need a porting of that app as the vivaldi 4season team did, but working for all the roms and in particular that app have to work...
Who is the dev that can do this for the "disconnected" community? He will help the people that need to call someone whilst is driving a car... No accidents trying to do a call whilst driving car, no money spent in a special contract to be always connected.
We need a hero!

Dont we have that already with the Built in Samsung Voice actions powered by Vlingo which also has a drive/car mode
Vlimgo requires Internet and to be honest is not greatest when dialing contacts especially if they are not typical English names.
Just do what I do as soon as I install rom, delete vlingo and put original android voicedialer.apk in system (note: not voice search) app from nexus s gingerbread or cyanogen rom. Works offline and much better for contacts recognition. Responds fine to bluetooth dial as well.

Could you post that apk please?
Here you go!
Remember put this in system/app folder with root explorer (do not install as regular apk) and remember to delete vlingo voice to go apk from there cause it will clash on bluetooth dial.
Istituto tris app multilanguage?
Is this only for dialing or sms too?

It's name is voice dialer! Ask me again if this is for dictating sms!
Or are you asking if you can start text message with this?
There's voice actions for that or vlingo or whatever but they all need to be connected to the net.
With this you can basically start any app installed on the phone with command open * (open MESSAGING or open OPERA MOBILE) or dial contacts on the PHONE or command redial.
You can not say 'send text to "contact name"'. If you want deeper than that then use online ones I mentioned.
Iono if it's multilanguage? I why don't you try it then tell us? What I do know is that I have plenty non English contacts and it dials them correctly even though it repeats them weird with English phonetics. It is able to learn as well so if it's confused between 2 contacts, manually selecting correct one, will not prompt again with same pronunciation. I have had few names that I had to gradually train like that going from English phonetics to native tongue pronunciation and now it's perfect.
I save data with titanium so don't have to train it again between flashing.

Calm down. If you insist, so i ask you again: is it for dictating sms?
A forum need people able to talk gently with others and if they can and want, to answer to the question, and not to be arrogant.
If you are nervous go to sleep.
So Dumb
So Dumb to not understand plain English.
Lol! Yeah all we need in forum are lazy people that post request in wrong section and won't do **** for themselves even when the help and explanation is being offered several times, but are easy to offend!
This was a waste of fingers. I'm off to sleep as you suggested and you wait for another soft spoken fellow or a gall.
But I'll throw you another bone. None of the solutions to date offer offline dictation on any smartphone platform and you ponder...

Stupid as usual. Nothing better to expect from you and useless people thinking like you. Enjoy you and your friends with the bones by yourself.
Poor you...find a girl and be less nervous, and maybe a mother so serious you will be polite.
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
Lolz! And this is how needy but polite people become not so polite but still lazy.
Point being: instead of finding ways of being offended maybe you should have read more carefully and see I and others had tried to help you throughout this topic. You have 4 posts and look what they are.
Anyways ill stop now and leave your thread alone.

Hi everyone!
I recently installed LiquidSmooth on my ROM, and I absolutely love the feature of being able to modify texts directly from notification center (Reply/Mark As Read/etc.). Unfortunately it doesn't support personalized notifications, though, for people [certain text sounds/LED colors for specific contacts], or call blocking.. I was wondering if anyone has discovered an alternative text messaging application which may allow this, or whether it's only available through native .. ): ..
I was also wondering if there is an alternative dialer that supports the Google Voicemail integration.. I've been using ExContacts, but it doesn't seem like they do.. [I like it for its swipe left/right for text/call]. I was going to just use ExContacts as my contacts manager and the native call log, but just wondering if there exists another call log application that supports Google VM?
[For LiquidSmooth Users -->] .. since I'm asking a gazillion questions as is.. wondering if anyone knows how to modify the strength of the vibrate? I see a "Vibrate Multiplier" option, but it doesn't modify all of my notifications [I noticed some apps have the option of modifying the strength, but others do not] .. Also, I know some people have been asking this, but have people discovered a way to lower the LED brightness for notifications?
(And I did do my best to Google/search forums/read threads, but I couldn't find answers to these questions.. ;-; .. I was going to post in the developer thread, but I realized I didn't have enough posts ^^;; .. but I will be trying to be more active so hopefully I can get there too so that I can post in the arguably more suitable sections :3)
Thanks so much for anyone who has thoughts/ideas! ^^ .. This forum has been very helpful and able to answer all my other questions so .. win! ^^
