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???

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?

Hope this is the right place for this....
I cooked & downloaded 3.17.03 (from Jeffs Kitchen) and have two problems:
1. When I go into Excell or Word now, I can't see any files that are loaded on the memory card. I have to use File Manager and double click the file I want. I can't find any way to inform Excell where to look either.
2. I also can't find anyway to add programs to the quick launch program (tdLaunch). I went to the authors homepage and dowloaded the PPC 2002 cab file but this won't run on my XDA. Curious that the author doesn't cover this most basic need in the README file. (I can't find any Help file for this even tho' I selected Help Files with all programs I chose to include.
Anyone know the answer to these problems?
A number of the attractive features mentioned in the ROM Kitchen announcement are not present on the version dloaded from Jeff. (Absence of tutorial at start-up, localisation to Central Europe etc, auto-config).
If any of the Developers see this, could they please comment why this is? (other than Jeff is not using the Developers ROM enhancements??)
Many thanks.

Tap "start",...tap "settings".....tap "today"...... at base of screen tap "items"......tap "tdlaunch".........tap "options" you can add, delete, etc from there. Hope this what you are wanting.

Try opening word or excel, at the base of screen tap "tools".....tap "options", take a look in there for the defaults for saving and viewing files. Might help.

No dice on that one unfortunately. Even tho' i tell it i want to save to Storage Card 1 it won't look in there.
It's not this "ignore my doc" file is it? I used ot have one but now I can't see one in the root dir of the card.
:?
Did you try reformatting the card, after backing up the files of course. Also have you actually saved a file to the sd card since your upgrade?

No, I havn't tried reformatting it. (After all its the ROM that was changed not the location of the data). And I just tried saving new files- They ARE written to the SD folder "My Documents".
But the XDA still doesn't see any files in the other folders on the card...
you have to save those files in the My Document directory on the SD Card. thats how MS did it.
Hi.
Actually, I dimly recalled that the file ignore_my_docs IS necessary for the OS to 'see' files on the Memory cards which are outside of My Documents.
I located a backup and found the ignore_my_docs file, transferred it over to the XDA and my problem was solved.
Not actually sure how the original was deleted. :?
Thanks for the feedback anyway.
Cheers
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!

Good suggestion.
Thankx
Hi,just setting up my M700 and need to transfer my themes over.Usually do this by just restoring from sprite backup. However this time I did a complete clean install. Problem is I cant find the normally present themes folder so as for them to appear in the today menu. Usually its in the windows folder but I cant find it.Where can I put them oe where is it located (the're a lot of them in a folder I created called themes) so as to be visable to the device ie usable/selectable as today backscreens? Thanx all.
The .tsk files should be stored in \windows
When you say that you can't see it, do you mean that you can't see \windows in the explorer on your PC when the phone is connected via ActiveSync?
If this is the case, then it might be due to the fact that the \windows folder is hidden and the explorer on your PC is not showing hidden files and folders.
Try also in My Documents.
Thanx for the reply,unfortunately didnt work
@Its : I can see the windows folder in both my trinity and pc
@MacGuy2006 : Have looked in my documents to no avail
Perhaps another way of posing the question would be how or where do I put additional themes so i can use them. I would rather not have them just put in like that in the windows or whatever folder as I'd like to keep them tidy and organised in their own sub-folder called themes.That way I can edit/remove/add them easily. What pathway or tweak if possible could I use to run them off the storage card to save on space?
Thanx again.

You can put the tsk files in the ROOT directory "/" of your miniSD card and WM5 will find them. I do this to save storage on my phone.

ok thanx matterhorn. May have to do that as its proving a pain.Just that I have more than enough space on the trinity itself.just cant get them to be seen
I download the zipped up tsk file to the storage card.
When I upzip it (by double clicking on the new icon shown in my storage card it gives the options of where you want to send it). I send it to the "my dococuments" on my phone. Then when you go into "settings", then "today" screen you'll have a choice of all your new tsk files added to the original ones.

Hi,
does anyone know how to change the default TF3D wallpaper folder or at least, how to create a shortcut in this folder that link my pics folder in Memory Card ?
i had looked for many post but found nothing ...
if someone know how to do that, he will be my god
Thank in advance.
Someone can help ?
I don't understand why you'd need it??
My pics are in my memory card and each time i want to change the wallpaper i have to browse to this folder ...
If i could change the default folder to my folder in memory card, it will more easy and faster.
Anyone got any ideas on this? I can understand the requirement.
I would just make a standard folder shortcut from the SD card to My Pictures.
I got the same problem and what I did was make a "\Storage card\DCIM\Wallpaper" folder. Put all my wallpapers there and when in TF3D I go to settings->wallpaper, I only need to change to storage card from the dropdown menu, and then I got listed all my folders with my pictures.I Just click on "wallpapers" and choose one
