new sms sound

hello! how can i import wav file to be my new sms file. i can change ring tone but can't seem to know where to put the file for the os to make it into the list for new sms message tone. unless we can't.
terence

well so far i've found no way to add new sounds to the normal pda nonSpc phone sounds and notification
not sure why that is

new sms sound is possible
I have stated elsewhere on this forum that I've used a Butler style voice saying 'There's a message for you' (halmsg)
I have also changed my general notifications to a sexy girl's voice saying 'Open your eyes! (open your eyes)
& here's a cool ring tone (Pearl & Dean)

but how do you make them apear on the list ? in sounds and notifications ?
i tried looking for every post you ever made in your profile to find the post but found only a post where you said you changed it not how

I like the pearl and dean sound - can you make it available for download please - thanks

anything you have in your browser window (well most things anyway)
are first transfered to your pc
look in
dokuments & settings\[Name]\local settings\Temporary Internet Files\
the wma file should be in one of those dirs in temp internet files
along with all the gif's and jpg's and such that www pages have on them

1. For a wav/wma file to appear as ring tone, PASTE the file into your RINGS folder under WINDOWS on your device.
2. For the file to appear as SMS sound notification, PASTE the file into the WINDOWS folder on your device.
3. To achieve change other notofication not included in the notification list, use any registry editor and change the SOUNDS entry in your registry to point exactly what you want to be played.

Assigning own .wav file for new text messages

Hi - i can assign custom ringtones for incoming calls.. but not for text messages.
Anyone know how i can change this?
Thanks guys.
(Running on XDA mini S with ROM: 2.16.9.1 WWE)

Place the wav/mp3 etc you want assigning to an SMS tone in the Windows directory, these will then appear in the list for assigning to SMS/Alarms etc

i have tons of wavs in that directory that do not show up when i try to change the notification in Sound Notifications. Anyone know what im missing?

have u tried place the wav to \windows\rings\ ?
PS:the wav files should be within certain bitrates.

yup... if u do that it will work for incoming calls... but NOT FOR TEXT MESSAGES... still haven't figured out how to for texts

I've placed some MP3s in the Windows directory on the device and it works for SMS's. Not sure about wav files though.

how are you assigning the sms sounds? through "sounds and notifications"? cause if i place an mp3 in the windows directory, it does not show up as a selection. i assume it can only read .wav

how to set mp3 sms tone by code?

Several Programs can set mp3 as sms tones, such as photoalarm, ringo mobile, etc...
Could someone tell me how can I do it with my own code? My machine is a WM5 one.
Thanks.

one thing you can use is http://www.fmod.org/

Just Copy the Ringtone/SMS-tone in "My Dokuments", so you can use it as Ringtone and SMS-Tone.

text messaging alert sound

Is there a way to change the text messaging alert sound to something i make up? From my computer,
1. does it have to be mp3 or midi or wav?
2. where do i save the file so it will show up as one of my audio options....
Thanks in advance

Put a sound file into your \windows directory, go into settings/personal/sounds & notifications, I'll assume you can figure it out from there.

Device\Application Data\Sounds
That is where you are to place custom ringtones, and i believe that they appear for Text Messages too...just not for Alarms

Does anyone know if you can change the text message sent notification??

for it to work it has to be a .wav

ringtone per contact

Hi
Is that possible to assign different ringtone to each contact?
There's an option to assign a ringtone inside a contact person page, however when that person calls, the ringtone that rings is not that specific ringtone I assigned to that person, but it's the ringtone that I set in the Sound setting rings instead.
Is there a way to make that works?
thanks

If you use a contact manager like resco contact manager it will work.
