XDA II: Assigning different ringtones to different contacts

Does anyone know if this can be done on the XDA II?

One of the third party software that I used for this purpose is MTUX RintoneX. Have a look at www.mtux.com

Like Chriswo I too use RingToneX to add that missing feature of user assignable ringtones to my XDA II. It's isn't freeware but it does work well and is easy to use.

Any sign of a freeware application to do this simple task alone anyone?

RinTonex
Dear Criswo and Ednap,
to use RinTonex did had to unistall the IA software or can you get the picture from the IA SW and the ring from RinTonex?
Thanks!
Chris
P.S.: also, have you tried other appications for this purpouse? Why do you think that RinTonex is better than the other available...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=522&highlight=

IA Caller ID doesn't need to be uninstall. RingtoneX can work on top of IA Caller ID after all, one sees the numbers and find the matching PHOTO, and the other sees the number and find the matching Ringtone. They can work together.

THANK YOU!!!
WOW!
This is what I wanted to hear!!! :lol:
I wasn't sure both SWs could see the caller at the same time!
I undestanding you have used this combination and it worked! :wink:
Thanks!
Chris

Exactly like chriswo says, they can work side by side and all OK

does ne 1 have the serial for ringtonex ???

plz don't post keygens & hacks on this forum.
There are other places for them, and nobody wants to risk the closing of this one.

Time and Place for everything. I am sure we all might know places to get keygens and hacks for various needs.
However, this forum is NOT the place for it. There are other places to post that.
A moderator should remove the postings as soon as possible.
There is no other place even remotely like XDA-Developers. To get it shut down because somebody has no class would be really pathetic.

Give Phonext a try, it is free and does what the OP wants: assign a ringtone to a contact. You'll find it here:

Ok, sorry

Phonext on my SX56
I can't run the "SetupPhonExt_PPC2002.exe" on my XDA. is it because its the ATT version? I unlocked it by switching to PPC2002 w/ the unlock in the ROm, then reflashing w/ WM2003. I copied the file over, and it can't install. Is there something i'm missing? It says it is not a valid application.

adding phone/email to existing contacts

Is there a easy way to add a phone number from received call list or an email from outlook email list to an existing contact? THe outlook gives an option to add the email address to contacts, but it makes a new contact. Its a pain to cut and paste the email address and then add it to the existing contact.
I am using a T-mobile MDA.

I'll bump this one back up - I find it very frustrating also.

I have not personally tried this, but it looks like it will do what you are looking for. Well, at least for the phone contact part of your post. Plus it's freeware.

Hope this helps.

Looks good But does not support WM5
Can anyone suggest something else?

New Threaded SMS on vodaphone Treo 750v

The new tro 750v has threaded sms. Any hope to have this program available for all wm5 devices?

although a little early (device is not out yet) I second for this request.
For those who don't know, SMS threading is a Palm thing done in their Palm OS. Recently it has been announced that it's in their 750 and eventually their 700w/wx series as well. Basically it's makes your SMS conversation look like an IM conversation making it easier to read:

It IS a seperate Messaging application that is NOT fully intergrated into Outlook (though I imagine it hooks into the system sounds). It also has a Today Plugin for SMS, which is very nice as well. So from the looks of it, it should be possible to extract from the system if anyone is up for it (when the device comes out)! :lol:

O2 SMS Plus does also handle SMS like a thread
A lot of people made request to extract parts from the Treo 700w ROM but to bad only a few parts were extracted.. ..hope they will take this SMS program from the 750v ROM

Yeah the O2 SMS Plus looks nice but from what I understand not many were able to get it to work on any non-O2 devices, or not work well.
Hopefully this will be easier. People did get that Speed Dial/Picture dial plugin afterall.

O2 Sms plus not the same thing
O2 sms plus does not save your chat messages once you exit the application. Furthermore it is not taking the messages from the default pocket outlook so you end up with the same message in two applications. In a thread I started in the Wizard forum an application called "SMS Threader" at trianglepowers.com was discovered. It is almost perfect except I couldn't get it working reliably. I believe it could be due to application conflicts but I will wait to see if the Treo application gets released before I try this again. Everyone should look into sms threader. And make sure you sign up to the forum for there are a few debuging tips mentioned.

WM5 AKU 3.0 features info

FYI Mobile Review from Russia features a informative introduction to WM 5 AKU 3 (Tytn has 2.3). I hope this update will make it into a future Tytn ROM. Interesting improvements: A2DP update, vCards via SMS, support for WPA2, and enabling your provider to include language packs to choose from only once at initial startup of machine. BTW Does anybody know what is the advantange of sending SMS via GPRS? Free on a flat rate then?

Coming from experience with the BA, don't expect updates, we need gurus like Mamaich and Helmi to start working on the TyTN to help innovate it the way microsoft and others can't.
Try taking a look at the Blue Angel forums and you will notice the great advances they have contributed to make the Blue Angel a great competitor at an age of over 2 years old.

How do you send sms via GPRS? with Web & Walk flat rate of course

Any release date?

can someone clarify this...
if i am on the W&W from t-mobile does it mean that i can send sms' through gprs...
now here come the annoying newbie questions
How and whats the set up...
any help would it be appreciated
regards

The sending SMS via GPRS comment is regards the way WM5 handles vCards at the moment. Whilst Nokia, et al can all send a business card via SMS, i.e. the sensible way the Hermes can only send a vCard as an MMS, i.e. with significantly higher cost to most people. In the AKU 3.0 update you will be able to send vCards via SMS. Its only taken, what, four or five years for MS to acknowledge that people really do want to text busniness numbers to each other.

Insert contact numbers when composing SMS messages.
I created this simple application because sometimes when i send contact details to other phones using vcard, they cannot seem to receive it. Also, it's very frustrating to copy/paste contact details from the contacts window to the new sms window.
I hope this will help other members too

great work..i some times have need for it

Hi Oldsap,
I appreciate the work. I actually use this old version from Ondrej at airfagev that was built for WM2003 I believe but works perfectly on WM 6.1. I like it because it adds an option in the main contacts area on the menu bar itself (not a separate application). Here's the description:
This free Contacts Add-On has been inspired by RJV SendContact. Since the SendContact has many drawbacks like you can't use T9 search from list of Contacts, etc., Ondrej has developed this and shared it to airfagev as a freeware.
After installing the app, you should see Send via email/SMS added to your contacts menu. This utility also allows you to select which contact info you want to send like Name, Mobile No., Work No., etc. Thanks to Ondrej.

hey oldsap, thanks muchly for the Insert Contacts app, it's certainly easier than faffing about trying to copy & paste!
gadgetshrink, i've installed the contacts menu app a few times on WM6 Touch but cannot find anyway to activate / use it on the phone...
any help? maybe i'm missing something?
