Hey,
is there any chance to change the ringe tone directory? I already read some threads. But changing directory in regedit HKCU\controlpanel\soundcategories\ring did not work
I aslo read that i might not be possible to change rings directory to SD-Card because of insufficient access speed to card... Is that right?
Thanks for update...
Anybody?
Thx...

What's the purpose of changing the default ringtones directory? You can still put your ringtones wherever you like and select them with File Explorer....
I have set in registry to point to my storage card.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring
Directory = \Storage Card\Rings
where "Rings" is a sub folder inside my Storage Card.

yes,he can do this by file explorer, but when i select an mp3(for ex.) it copy that to rom of device, (without MMC it will work)...this will populate the memory
Well, it seems that WM6 can see ringtones in root of storage card so there's no need for any registry tricks (it doesn't work either) just copy all your ringtones there and select it from Sound&Notification option in Settings...
I'd advise not putting ringtones into a Storage Card. Most of the time it will be OK, but sometimes, the initialisation time of the card will mean the phone won't ring till after the call gets transferred to VM.
MP3 and WMA ringtones need the initialise the WMP kernel to play, which adds to the time taken to activate.
Just copy the ringtone you need to \Storage Card\My Documents
works fine to my wm6.
thanks.
You can also create a folder on the storage card called 'My Ringtones' and it works
10X maxxtech,
its work!
The other trick is to shorten the mp3 down to about 15 to 20 seconds of the actual part of the song etc you want.
This keeps the file size right down.
sorry to bring back a really old thread, but i figured its better than creating a new one...
I havea question, I added ringers of *.wma's to my \windows directory, but when I go to Sounds & Notifications, I dont see any of my added ringtones, am I doing something wrong here?
In the Registry, the location for rings states the "\Windows\" directory...
nobody!?!?!
sorry, double post!

Beware!...cause if U have changed to SD card...it stop responding after a while and it makes back to default windows folder!...I suggest to use the Storage folder for ringtones...not the SD card.
For the reminder...I don`t know the answer sorry... :roll:

Primoz
What's awhile???
i have been using it for AWHILE!

Don`t know mate...but I have to change it every day...cause it always change it to a default directory... :roll: Look at the thread about it...which ROM version do u use?
Regards,
Primoz
p.s. I was using it with Caller ID...
I have Untouched ROM 1.03.00WWE
When i choose a file and press "set as a ringtone" it SAYS " Copied to \windows\rings\****
But when i check the rings Folder it never does...i don't know
But it is working perfectly even when it wakes up from suspend state or after a SR.
I read the thread about...
Now i wanna know if i can do the same to Themes and alarms
AFAIK for themes you can do it. just place the themes on an SD card or Storage and copy ignore_my_docs to the root and they should appear on your selection screen. As for reminders I haven't seen anything on that yet.
Thank you, worked like a charm.....
Now any1 knows about the reminders?
your welcome been looking around the registry and I've found only one entry for it.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Notifications\Reminders\
doesn't seem to be a directory entry like in rings though.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Notifications\Reminders\
I have seen that before tried to make some changes, but nothing happened.
i appreciate the help
Still looking for a definite answer to whether if it is possible or not?
I've seen discussions about changing the ringtone folder, but none that tell how to change the folder the alarm clock looks for .wav files. It's /windows by default, but if it could be on the storage card, it would save space... any ideas?
thanks.

REGISTRY settings:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Clock
Try to change the AlarmSnd under subkey 0 to a wav file on your SD card (type the whole path in that one) maybe it works ...
problem is that when in off mode the sd interface is shut down and is not enabled to play the sound when phone ring or alarm sound

Uploading to Rapidshare and Mediafire as we speak. Something I'd like would be to implement the Diamond Sound Scheme into our current devices; I vaguely remember being able to change the sound files in the registry... Maybe someone could go through it?

Sorry for the Mediafire link, for some reason, the file got messed up. Rar extensions removed, added, everything's compressed.... ah it's a mess. i'm removing the link.

Settings for ring tones are stored under:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories]
E.G.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"InitVol"=dword:5
"Speaker"=dword:1
"Directory"="\\Windows\\"
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"DefaultSound"="Ring-WindowsMobile.wma"
You can just copy the files to your windows folder and select whatever you want in sounds/notifications. No need to change the registry.
I have this ringtones already in my Cruise, and my question is how can i degrease the volume?? even when u set the tone volume at "0" it still sound? and if u have 2-3 the volume is very loud, how came? any solution for that?
i copied the sounds folder to the root of windows, but havent found a way to use them from sound notifications

That is strange. Once in the Windows directory, you should just be able to go to Settings>Personal>Sounds and Notifications.
Select the 2nd tab on bottom. For each item (e.g., Incoming email..) you can select a sound from the pull down. All sounds from the Windows directory should be listed there. If not, maybe it is a format issue (e.g., wma vs wav vs mp3).
maybe i need to rename the folder? i copied the folder, should i copy the rings directly to the win directory not in a folder?
for incoming call ringtone the file should be in wmv format and can be everywhere even in storage card..
for other tones the file should be in wav format and be directly in windows folder

Check the registry ...and sometimes it looks into my documents/my ringtones folder might work for some registry setting
Put only the wav sound in windows root then u can see them in notification settings. wma files u can put in windows rings folder or, device->my documents->my ringtone
alright thanks all, its working
You have to extract the sound files from the folder and copy them to your windows root folder.
cool... now i got a sms alert tone
I'm not able to set the volume of .wma Diamond's ringtones in my Touch Cruise...
How can i do?
I tried to add a ringtone from Start - Settings - Sounds - Add Ringtone; but I don't see any music files in the list and there is no option to browse. Only a dropdown folder list is there.
Please guide.
Thanks.
Tap and hold music file in file explorer, choose "set as" (not sure about translation) and choose what event you want to assign it to.
Or you may copy the ringtone files into the folder \My Documents on the storage card. Then they will be found.

For the life of me i cant figure how to install ringtones! can anyone help me please?
create a folder, named 'Ringtones', in your microSD card, and put your music files in there.
The phone only read and extract ringtones from that particular folder =D

what about alarm clock ringtones
can i do the same or shall i create another folder?!
You can also set them through Mediascape. Just press options once a track OS selected and you will now have the option to set as ringtone.

Yep, once you set as a ringtone it will always be available on your list after that so you can switch back and forth without having to open the folder again.
P.S. you can put them in any folder you want to, you don't have to name it "ringtones"
