Hi there!
I got a question:
id like to change the sound when i recieve a sms with a custom one on my o2 xda neo but when i copy a wav file to the my documents directory the file only appears in the ringtone menue for incoming calls. so my plan was to replace one of the default sound files in the windows dir wich is shown in the menue for incoming sms sound eg alarm1.wav. the problem is that those files are write protected. is the any way to get write acces to this directory? or is there an other way to change the sound for an incoming sms to a custom sound file?
1. You can use Total Commander to overwrite the write access. It works for most of the write protected files. Not sure about the WAV.
2. You can just copy your WAV into the \Windows directory. The \Windows is not write protected. Your WAV file should shown in your SMS noti sound after you copied it into \Windows
thank you!!! your second advice worked!

Can the Universal Play mp3 or wma files as ringtones thru the standard contacts application? I see where to assign ringtone but my wma tones are not shown. I placed them in a folder in the mydocuments folder in the internal memory. Do they need to go into a different folder? Or do I have to use a third party application?
Also, in WM5 I dont see a Windows folder when I select Explore thru active synch. In WM2003 inside of the Windows folder I had a Favorites folder. I am looking for this folder to copy and paste a few links I saved on my PC from my Jam.
Thank you for your help!

Sorry, I figured it out. Ill leave the post just in case someone else runs into this problem. I had my file settings to not show hidden files. Changing that to show all files I now have the Windows folder. The ringtones go into the windows\rings folder and under windows there is the folder for favorites.

If you have MP3 or WMV files go to the option of the file u we be able to set that file as ring tone... Windows automatically copy that file in to Ring folder and shows u in ring tone list for u from Phone.
how to put in new tones for sms...ive tried to put them but it wouldnt pick it up for sms.....how to do it??
try to put them to root folder on your SD-Card oder to Windows folder on your Prophet, but with wm5 you can't use mp3 as ringtones for sms
hello guys and girls
budy i think its work with wav extension for sms and make it mono 16 /8
and put it in windows file
u must put wav in windows folder that's all
Or you can change the registry to read from Storage card folder, but the fastest way is in window/root folder.
Or you can use soft for assigning tone to sms

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?
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!
