Please excuse me if Im the only one who does'nt know.....
Place you MP3 ringtones or music in SDCard/My Documents folder and then select them in Sounds and Notifications! no tweaks, no third party apps!
After yrs I just discovered this!

So? You not share the information..
Homer is the first one who post this information here..
And for me that's what I call fantastic and I must say thanks for his sharing..
No hurt feeling dude..
Yup, so simple.
On my previous handset (iPAQ 6365), i have to put mp3 ringtone files in Storage Card \Rings then change the string value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ControlPanel \SoundCategories \Rings to \Storage Card\Rings\
On atom it's so easy, just put mp3 files in the ROOT of Memory Card (you don't have to create My Documents folder if you don't want to), and voila! The files are automatically shown in sound setting.
What I do is create folder \My Ringtones and put every mp3 that I what to set to ring tones and works like wonder =)
No third party apps or tweaks needed aswell...

I'm using Atom Black too, and put all my ringtones on root.
Maybe it's because mine still use the official WM5 ROM from seeO2

Still adjusting myself, cause I'm used to WM2003 on large screen. I even have to install 3rd party keyboard software to cope with unfamiliar (and such small buttons ) keyboard.
Anyway, back to topic, does anyone ever have problem with delayed reaction? On my previous PPC, sometimes the memory card is too slow to load. When that happens, on incoming call instead of custom mp3 ringtone (which I put on memory card), sometimes the ringtone is back to Windows Default

hehehehehe same here.... after using WM2003 for almost 6 months in my xda mini (which is sooo sad no updates for WM5!) I upgraded to atom.... it's impresive! have just used it for a week then upgrade to WM6. I can say it's much better than WM5. (Sorry OT again)
Anyweiz, I would encounter delay(slugish) in opening memory card contents in my mini before when there are too many apps loaded. In Atom (using WM5 1G miniSD) I never encountered that prob same goes now, wherein im using WM6 AKU 0.7a 6PP @ 2Gb mini sd. free storage is only 600MB left, RAM is around 20-25 free.
Regarding change in ringtone, yes I did encountered that when I tried installing 3rd party apps like phone alarm. It messed up all my configuration when I uninstall it. I need to make a hard reset coz tones(ringtone/sms/alarms et. al) where greyed out is unchangeable.

I just wondering if you guys has the similar problems with me or not ....
I've done registry hack for changing the default storage of rings to \storage card\rings, occasionally the ringtones will automatically change back to "windows default". I've check that my O2 mini able to play the selected tones. After a while, when i suspend it or soft reset, it will change back to "windows default".
Does anyone has this problems ? Is this because of my SD card speed ? I got a 256mb Kingston SD which is included from the package.
Your help and comment are appreciated.
Thanks :wink:
Ringtone back to default
If you installed pocket player.. try to uninstall it...
Hi,
You dont need to uninstall pocket player. Just go to pocket player options and remove the file association. This should solve your problem.
Regards,
Vishal
hi... i dont have or ever installed pocket player but hansip's problem is happend to me aswell... anymore idea how to use our own ringtones without have to copy them to the windows folder?? thank you
I had the same problem...
and the solution was not to change the path to \storage card\rings...
instead.. you have to make it \storage\....\Rings and this will certainly work :wink: .....
I believe there is some sort of conflict when you choose Storage Card
I know you won't be able to use all of your music... but at least you'll free up some memory from the RAM..
and if you have the BigStorage trick.. you'll be just Fine..
I have three ring tones in my Rings folder.. and I think that's enough for me.... 8)
cheers
After coming out of suspend mode or after a soft reset, the Magician needs some time to initialize the SD card. Since the programs, including the phone settings, are run before the SD is initialized, the Magician cannot find the ringtone on the SD card and therefore resets it to windows default. It does not matter wether or not you have a fast SD card, it is a flaw in the operating system. That is also the reason why today plug-ins are better run from main mem or internal storage than from SD card. Try putting the ringtone in your internal storage, you'll see the difference.

just hold the stylus on the music file you wish to make as a ringtone, until you get the pop-up menu, then choose Set as Ringtone

Not really. First of all you need a special .cab file for that, which you can find attached at the end of my post.
Second, that just copies the ringtone in Windows/rings, thereby taking up valuable RAM, which he wants to evade.

Thanks for the input guys .... I solved this problem by changing it into \storage\rings instead of put in on \storage card ..... Well I guess, the reasonable explanation for this is because when the phone rings, the device is trying to access the rings into the location that we specified in the registry and i guess the process get too fast .... So the device having a difficulty reading the \storage card ... and that's why it straight goes to "windows default" cause of course that's ring store in internal memory :wink:
By the way I'm just curious what's cab file does Koksie provide us ? Could you please explain more on this cab files ? What it actually does for our Mini ?
Thanks again guys for the input..... :wink:
I am having this problem after swtching directories too but it is not fixed after changing the registry to /storage/rings, /storage/.../rings or even windows/rings. They all go back to the default ring!!!

The cab file will enable you to set mp3 as ringtone when you hold to the file.

What software do you have eg.. phonealarm, spb, etc, it may cause the error
The .cab I posted enables an extra option in the pop-up menu when you tap-and-hold on a mp3 files. Use the build-in file explorer, go to the folder where your ringtones are stored, tap-and-hold on a ringtone and in the pop-up menu you will see an option "set as ringtone". tap on it and the ringtone will be copied to windows/rings and set as your default ringtone in the phone options. Only drawback: the ringtone will be copied into main mem, taking up a lot of space if you have a full sized mp3. If you shorten it to 10 seconds and decrease th quality, it should take up less space. I have no idea if hacking the registry to make storage/rings the default ringtone location will work with this .cab. Maybe the .cab only looks at the registry for the default location and copy it there, maybe it just always copy the file to windows/rings.
I have all the sbp software- pocket plus, weather, gprs moniter etc.. also all the PHM software- but this wasn't happening when I instaalled that stuff- it happened after I changed the ring directory-
I have tried chaging it to everything- and it still goes to the default ring!!
thanks,
Daniel
Not only that-
The defaultt ringtone seems to play thru the speaker regardless of whether or not the headphones are plugged in- please tell me I don't need to hard reset!!
Having the same problem here. I have changed the ringtone directory to be
"\My Documents\My Music\Poly" (the same registry hack).
Now, whenever I change the default ringtone to something else, it is done. But when an incoming call is received, the old windows default ringtone is assigned as the ringtone.
HEEELP...
I did a hard reset and it fixed the problem of switching back to the default- I recomend tht anyone who tries this registry hack make a register backup to revert to- soething went wrong-
anyway- I am still having the problem of the rington laying out load when I have the headphones plugged in- is this a standard flaw??
I don't remember having this issue when I first got my Magician...is there a setting to change???
Thanks,
Daniel
I'm also experiencing problems with this but was bale to move the things to the Storage. However, during my experimentation in Photo Contacts, when I do a preview, the default ring tone does not play.
not possible!
hi... according to some ppl that replied to my question (exatcly same with this tread), the answer is WE CAN NOT put ringtones files in SDcard and use them from there.. even we edit the registry.. it works when we preview them, yes.,
BUT
during standby mode, and some1 call us, the window cant find the ringtone fast enough (coz they are in SDcard, access is slow!) so they use the default one..
try to edit the registry to /storage (instead of storage card) then it works. but ofcoz, u must copy all ur ringtone to /storage, now u r using xda memori, not sdcard
dont try to buy faster sdcard, i dont think that will work.. the fastest sdcard is still far to slow for xda... but i any1 success, let me know like you, i have hundreds of ringtones and i dont want to put them in storage...
I found another solution for the problem
I haven't tested the suggested solution while i am writing thsi post (too excited)

Selecting Ring Tones from your Storage Card instead of \Windows\Rings\
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moving Ring tones to your Storage Card.
Ring tones are choosen from \windows\Rings\.
However, you have to copy your ring tone files there and that takes up
valuable RAM Memory.
Wouldnt it be better to choose your ring tones from your Storage Card, better
still you can place hundreds of ring tones on your storage card without taking
any RAM at all.
Here is how you can do it.
You will need a good file explorer software like "Total Commander"
from http://www.ghisler.com/
1. Run Total commander
2. go to \\ (at the very top)
3. open \\\registry\HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring \Directory
4. Change the content of this file from
\Windows\Rings to \Storage Card\Rings\
Note: \Storage Card\Rings\ is the directory I created on my storage Card to store my personal Ring Tones.
To select a new ringtone, Start->Settings->Phone.
The Ring tone are now selected from \Storage Card\Rings\
and Best of all, your ring tones doesnt take up any valuable RAM Space.
I hope this helps
Merry Xmas all,

Tried with an mp3 placed in the windows folder it seems it cant find it.

I'm not an expert so hopefully one will reply, but I think they have to be .wav and I think they have to go in the \windows\rings folder.

Actually, you are 1/2 right, they need to be wavs, but they go directly into windows, not in the rings folder.
Steve
Yep steve is correct the sound file will need to be a .wav and place into the windows folder, ring tones can be mid,wav and so on and they are placed into the rings folder within windows.
Sound file converter???
Morning all,
My first posting also and yes this has to be the mecca for knwledge of all Wizard related things. My question:
Does anyone know of any software downloads which can convert .wma, mp3 or similar files into .wav??? I'm a complete novice at this sort of stuff but the array of ringtones and message alert tones is rubbish on my K-jam. Thanks for any replies.

Cheers all,
You keep refering to ring sounds, I am looking for Sounds for alarms and recieved messages, and alerts in general.
But I will try it now with wav files in stead of mp3.
Manindesert,
I'm using Sound Forge 7, but then again I really need it for all my music stuff, so give Audacity a shot.
Update Works fine with alarm and message sounds, thank you all.
Is there any way, hack or otherwise, that will allow you to point your rings/sounds to your SD card? Thought it would be nice to free some space and stop having to move files on and off the card. I change my ring tone with my mood
Javahater,
I've been loking for a hack/program/setting that will do that, but no luck so far.
Unfortunately, all SMS & ring tones must be located in main memory!
But there's a possibility to create a program that will browse a folder of ring tones on SD card & once u select a tone, it will be copied to main memory (and of course erase the old default tone from main memory) & will set this new file as the default ring tone for the phone.
Javahater and Ezzkht,
Maybe you should look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks scroll down to this "ANY FOLDER RING TONES"
You will need a Registry Editor like Total Commander 2 or PHM Regedit
Hope this helps
Javahater,
Have been trying above solution for about an hour, seems that this solution doesn't work under WM5, or at least it doesn't make any difference if you change the folder or not (it only points to windows not windows\rings)
Will have to keep looking.

AGREED !! I've got WM2003SE tried the steps mentioned http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks no use.......it still picks up the default folder from \windows\rings, where as I am pointing it towards \Storage Card\Sound\ not working
ok just double checked.....in sounds and notifications options it goes to \windows\rings folder.....but I have o2 plus installed as well...and in o2 plus sounds and notifications options it points me to \Storage Card\Sound any ideas ?
Ezzkht,
Happy t worked for you, can't say the same for me.
Well it is getting more and more weird, when I look in my registry it only points to \windows\ not even \windows\rings\, despite this it still manages to pick up ringtones/sounds in the rings directory, and all sound files placed in the root of the SD Card(go figure).
I'm out of ideas right now, but am still looking for a solution and will be back if I find one.
I just used Resco Explorer with the registry editor add-in.
It worked with me without a soft-reset!
What device do you have, Mike?
Maybe some nice sounds
Hello everyone!
It's a little bit off topic, a little bit not
My advice: SD card is not really a good place for sounds, at least in my case. Why? Sometimes it happened that when I got a phone call, instead of my nice ringtone I've heard the standard one. I think it has sth to do with powering up SD card while changing from standby mode. It's just my impression.
Secondly: I'm looking for some nice SMS ringtones, not the funky ones... I'm getting a lot of messages and it's really boring if you hear "Heeeeellooooo! Your message is coooooomingggg!" every now and then. I will appreciate if you could share your ringtone with me

So this is a popular program for the Palm OS: NotifyMe! which basically is a little configurable application that would play a sound and/or vibrate if your SD card ejected.
I know a lot of people who "accidently" shoot their card out when pulling their device from a holster.
If it could have the features of "NotifyMe!" and be WM5 compatible it could be a very popular program.
TIA

Hi,
I saw your request 2 days ago, and I said why not! I checked the GUI of the NotifyMe application for Palm and I decided to make one for PPC.
Installation:
1) just unrar the file and copy the exe on your ppc (it may be installed on the sd card and launched from there, it works when sd card is removed, but don't select a music file from the sd card, no sound will be played of course):wink:
2) launch the exe. The first time it will install the config control panel applet and launch it.
3) just configure the notif application and start it.
Useful infos:
This program has been tested on my ppc (see signature), on WM2005 ppc emulators and WM2003SE emulators.
There is no builtin sounds as the one for the Palm, but it can play different music type files like midi, wave, mp3 and wma files.
The app has been UPXed, so it is very small.
The notification stops either by pushing on the stop button or by putting the sd card back into its slot.
Enjoy,
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: feedback appreciated...
Here is the app and some screenshots:

I've tried it.
It works.
If I choose "Show message and Vibrate and Play sound", it doesn't vibrate and play wav as I choose.
I choose Alarm1.wav which is in ROM.
It only pops up sound and shows message on the today screen, no vibration and no sound.
But if I choose "Show message and Play sound" or "Show message and vibrate",it works fine.
I use BA WM5 AKU3.2 ROM(Helmi 1.3.2)

btw, just for info purposes:
- How would one remove the entry from the Settings tab to configure the program?
- I don't think this is working as it should on the Treo 700wx, but that is probably due to Palm's modifications of the OS. Basically, it only works when the device is powered on. If the device is in standby it doesn't "wakeup the device".

- it is possible, but tricky.
The control panel applet shown on the Settings/Personal Tab can be found in /windows/NotifyMeCpl.cpl. The trick would be to change the extension .cpl by .dll then open the notifyme.exe in an hex editor and replace notifymecpl.cpl by notifymecpl.dll.
To configure the program, you will need then to launch /windows/ctlpnl.exe notifymecpl.dll
I hope it's clear. :roll:
- I don't know how it works on a Treo, but I just use the standard notification api... On my ppc, whenever I pull the SD card out of its slot, the device wakes up... If you want I can try to add this functionality but I'm not sure if it will work. Maybe the program won't receive the notification that the sd card was retrieved.

dotfred,
Actually, I just meant how to remove the control panel applet (my sentence was a bit garbled!) e.g. if I just wanted to remove the program from my device.
In that case, is it just a matter of deleting /windows/NotifyMeCpl.cpl ?
As far as the Treo, don't worry about it for now. Palm did lots of trickery (for the better actually) such as changing registry entries so most "tricks" don't work now.
Once the 750v comes out for you GSM users, I'm sure more about how the OS is orientaited and organized will come out. Then it might be easier for us to nail down the problem (I unforutnately don't know enough to be of much help!) :lol:
very sweet, however i just tried out the program and am having a small issue. after i ejected my SD card the alarm worked as it should, i turned it off and reinserted my SD card and now i have a new "Storage Card2" on my device all my programs are on "Storage Card2" instead of my original "Storage Card" can't rename the file either??? anybody with a suggestion would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
1. delete "Storage card"
2. rename "Storage Card2" to "Storage Card" on pdaphone, if it doesnt work, try to activesync with PC and rename it on pc

If you just want to remove thr program from the device, just delete the /windows/notifymecpl.cpl and delete the notifyme.exe whereever you put it on the pda.
If you want to clean the registry as well, delete the entries under
-HKCU/Software/FdcSoft/NotifyMe
-HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/NotifyMeCat
-HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/NotifyMeSound
Cheers,

Try using the memory card reader.
I have instaleld crossbow and love the new OS. However this early version comes with very few sounds. The ringtones are rubbish and the notifications are all very quiet.
Can someone post
Old phone / ring ring - ring tone
A decent incoming message sound - something simple, but loud.
Many thanks
Ashby
Did you just put in on an miniSD card and run the exe? I'll post oldphone later today.

You have to run it through Active sync.
After the install, you need to install activesync 4.5 (currently beta) from M$
I've posted what should be the stock WM5 sounds at this URL:
http://bryanbilocura.com/wm_sounds
(I just uploaded all audio files in the \Windows\ and \Windows\Rings directories that had the system flag set. Let me know if I missed any or if something isn't stock.)
Many thanks NetHead.
I kept missing calls with the default WM6 sounds. I now feel like I have my baby back.
Cheers
