I'm facing a bit of a snag here.
I have been trying to set up a new uncompressed WAV file as an alarm. I think I've done almost everything, such as:
(1) Installing WakupTweak;
(2) Moving the WAV file to the Windows directory;
(3) Making sure the wave file is uncompressed.
The file name has successfully appeared on the list of alarm files, but everytime I choose the filename, it keeps changing back to "Default" instead of the new alarm tone.
Could somebody help?

I've got a strange problem here. Just now, after I backed up the system with resco backup, played around with the system txt size. I noticed that my stock ringtone, "windows mobile" has been changed to "dome" automatically. I took a look at the ringtone settings and noticed that "windows mobile" was displayed as "windows mobile.wma" along with a few other stock ringtone files with exact same symptom. When I clicked the play button, a window popped out saying the file was not available or corrputed. On the other hand, the rest of the stock ringtones which still seems normal (i.e. "dome" is good to be set as ringtone, and it shows as "dome" instead of "dome.wma")
However, when I traced back all the ringtone files to Windows folder, and use WMP to play them, every single file is good to play, not corrupted at all.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is? TIA
PS: I notices that there was a space added (and I can't delete it) after the file name for those "corrupted" tones. For example, Ring-Vison .wma compared with a normal ringtone: Ring-waterfall.wma. I use Totalcommand to access the file but cannot rename it or change the "read only" property.
ok try this.
1) If when you view the file properties in total commander you see a (gryed out) check in "In rom" then
1. Copie the file right in your windows folder
2.you should then be able to remove the read only flag and rename it.
Or if you don't see a grey out check in "In rom"
just try to remove the read only flag and rename. hope this helps you.
i had this same issue with .brn files i was playing around with and it sounds like the same thing. somehow the files where removed from your device so it is now using the files right from the rom...it might not be the case but see what happens.
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!
I am trying to change the notificantion sound of recieving new text-msg.
I putted the mp3 file into ringtone folder which is in the device, but I cant see it on the list.
just reboot pnone (soft reset)
put your mp3 in windows folder
i am trying to send a sound file to my mate via sms and when i click attach>sound i cant seem to find where it is pulling these files from so i cant put my custom sound file in the folder.
/windows is the location you should drop your .wav files.
in earlier days the .wav should be in pcm format - to be hones I'm not sure if .m4a/.wav (any format)/.mp3 all are working now.
But if you have issues on all other formats then try .wav pcm-format. it does work.
Kindly

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!
