Hi guys,
Some time ago, when I used a stock ROM and older cooked ones, I could just copy WMA files to Windows directory and they were visible in Alarm manager. I.e. those files were displayed in a list of all available alarm sounds and I could select them.
Now this way doesn't work (at least in some ROMs I tried). Only ROM's preloaded alarms can be used.
There is no such a problem with other rings (they can be copied either to Windows or My Ringtones and it works fine).
So, the question is how to do it.
Can anybody assist me in that?
Thanks in advance.
use .wav version of your sound file.

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?
Hello,
I own a HTC Touc HD since a few days, I use L26_TOUCH HD VERSION.9.0_WWE_ULTIMATE [RHODIUM BASED] ROM.
I tried to change the ringtone but it does not work. When I choose another audio file than those who where originally installed it just won't change, it changes back to the one before.
I tried different folders, Windows/Rings and My Ringtones, I tried mp3, wav, wma, and I tried different audio files, it won't even work with the Dogbark.wav file!
Am I doing something wrong, or forgetting something?
Could you please help me?
Regards
Dave
What you need to do is copy and paste the ringtone file in: My Device/Windows folder. It should then appear in the ringtone options to select
I already tried this, but same problem. It appears, I can play it and select it, but when I click OK it changes back to the previous one.
Any other suggestions?
just change the properties on the file to system
Thank you, it works!
Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is a way to put back the original jade notification tones. I'm currently using one of Ironeagle's featherlite roms and it removed a lot of the original sounds.
The main one I need is the notice sound after the other party hands up or the call disconnects. Currently when the call disconnects or other party hangs up, it just has a "static" type of sound and I'm assuming it is suppose to be the short notification clip.
If any of you have the file and know where to replace it in the phone, please help me
Thanks!
For the call disconnection sound, I think you're looking for the file CALLDROP.MID found in the Windows folder...
Try downloading the Jade_Kitchen... It will have all the files of a stock ROM in the OEM or SYS folder... Just copy them over to your phone...
HTH!
thank you! I downloaded the file, but don't even know where to find it or how to insert it back into the phone

easy way.. download the file again. This time remember, write down the file name. Copy the file to \windows folder in your phone. I assume you know how to sync your phone to your PC.

Thanks, but I'm really having trouble finding the sound file in the "KITCHEN" files There are so many different folders
Try searching your PC for calldrop.mid...
sorry i know this is a noob qns but i have been figuring out for quite some time and cant find the way to solve it...
i put all the mp3 into the windows/rings folder with all the stock alarm tone of our phone and when i went to the notification page to set the tone, i cant find my mp3??
please help me..thanks.. =)
You have to put your mp3 in Windows root folder, not in Rings subfolder. Cheers!
oh izzit..thanks..i will go and try now..thanks man!!!
hi sorry one more qns...
how to use our mp3 as the alarm tone??
i use ur method above and it works for the sms tone..but i cant see my mp3 in the alarm tone selection...
pls help again..thanks!!! =)
You have to convert that mp3 into a wav file.
hi, you can use mp3 as a ringtone or sms alert. but you have to unclock normal windows settings menu. in sound and notification menu ou can choose mp3 as alerts. i don't really remember if you have to put files in /windows or /application data/sounds folder. give it a try
when you just put a .mp3 file in the root of your storage card it will also work.

we don't need to put it in windows folder just put it to phone memory works i tried it my self yesterday
i was wondering is it possible to do so because ihavent been able to find away to do it noir have i found anything on google that talks about it been trying get help with this all night someone plzzzzzz HELP! i dont want to go back to winmo just because i cant have text msg ringtones....
What I did to change mine was,
1 convert the file to .wma format
2 rename the file to Alert-05 (or 01 ,02 etc) (it needs to be Alert-## otherwise it won't be found it settings)
3 copy it to the windows directory using touchXplorer
4 select it using settings ...
there must be a better way but it worked for me, hope it works for you.
As neilarmes said.
Think that this is the only way to get custom alert tones and does work for custom ringtones as well. You have to bear in mind that when you rename the .wma file and move it using touchXplorer, it will overwrite an existing WP7 alert tone as you I don't think you can add extra tones.
Using the above method you can however add mp3 files to your ringtones folder to have custom ringtones. Would just advise not to have too much music synced to your device as the file names in the Zune folder don't immediately lead you to the file you're after.

Note about ringtones...all ended up doing is copying my custom ring tones (in mp3 format) using Zune as if they were music transfers. After syncing, go into the My Documents\Zune folder, I believe, and using TouchXplorer copy your ringtones to the My Documents\My Ringtones folder. After some lag in time, your customer ringtones will appear in your selection list. No conversion to WMA needed for ringtones.
As for the SMS sounds, I was about to try converting my mp3 notification files into WMA then renaming it Alert-11 through whatever, the copying it to the \Windows directory. Alert-01 thru 10 are already present. Going to see if naming the file other than Alert-xx.wma will work as well.
How do make the tones useable on the text messages and other notifications. Thanks

I jsut tried "Alert-VM" and "Alert-TXT" but no dice. Also tried Alert-11 and Alert-12 to no avail. Time to rename the default guys and overwrite w/ the new ones!
