change system sounds without modify rom?

hi,
i´d like to change the system sounds of my niki (running niki project v2) like the ones you hear if you see a warning, tip, etc ( which is alarm2.wav in rom) , without affecting the rom. is that possible? with what software?
thx

can't you just adjust the sounds the normal way?
settings > personal > sounds and alerts
(translated from dutch version)

well, yes but i can only choose the preinstalled ones i cant add them by myself and i cant change the sounds from popups

add the mp3/wav files to \My device\My documents\My ringtones\
(if it doesn't exist, use browser and click on it long.. so a menu pops up and click "use as ringtone")
and then you can select it at "sounds and alerts"
sorry for the terrible explanation .. but i'm just crap at explaining on paper ;D

your explanation is ok but i cant make it the sound for the popups. i dont find an option for that

Name all your personal sounds with the same names as the originals in the /windows folder and overwrite the originals by dragging your personal sounds into the /windows folder. you will be better off doing this via your pc when your pda is connected up as it wont allow you to overwrite the files from the pda's file explorer. back up your original sounds in case you want to restore them later.

yep, that 'lld do the trick too. You can change everysingle sound on your wm phone the.
hooah!

well that was the problem, i couldnt... ill try again asap

I have convert a MP3 to Wav.
O my case the file has the name notify.wav
When I put the new file in the Windows directory, my Prophet say's that it is write prtected, or it is in Use, so I can't overwrite it ore move it to another location.

SMS and Mail ound files

I wonder where the sound files that can be selected for SMS and Mail sound are located. There are a lot in the list but can't find them in any folder.
I want to add new sounds and need to know where to place them. Thanx.

Ringtones go in /my documents/my ringtones
SMS and mail go in /windows, you probably can't find any 'cos you're using the in built and very bad file explorer.
Try total commander (lots of cabs and a website so search for it) it's freeware and superb to let you really see what's on your device..

I placed both of mine in My Documents and they work fine...

Thanks for the information.
I installed TC and now I see Windows folder.
I have TC on PC (Windows Visat) too and it doesn't show the phone at all. But I see limited folders on Windows Explorer. Is there any setting or another program to use on PC to see ALL folders. Thanks.

In windows explorer:
Tools > Folder options > make sure to check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "hide protected files"
you'll be able to acces the phone's windows folder in your windows explorer

[Q] Notifications tones on HD2-WP7

Where do i go to add Notifications tones on HD2-WP7
PLZ help

Im trying to edit the registry to enable custom sms tones etc. right now... I think this is the only way to do it currently.

Using the registry editor I found HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LocalizedNameMap
this is where all the alerts and alarms are set up. However the reg edit doesnt allow to change value name which points to the file name...

Got to http://touchxperience.com/ and there is a few tools you can download, but i use there advanced config tool. Have a look and see.

I read somewhere that you could sync files to the device using Zune and then move them using touchxplorer. I believe that you have to rename wma files and then overwrite the existing notification sounds in windows directory.

[Q] q- how can i change sms ring tones

q- how can i change sms ring tones "special"

Open the app, go into settings, change the notification tone
(Should be in Q&A)

i see but i can't select my special ring tones. How can i use my ring tones

Hi,
Create a folder named Notifications, in /sdcard/Notfications (from a file explorer or from a PC just create the folder at the root of the sdcard) and put your sound inside it. It's the same thing for Alarms and Ringtones.
Or if you are rooted you can also go to /system/media/audio/notifications and put your soud here, don't forget to set the corect permissions for the new files. But here it's less easy.

If you want to give certain contacts a specific ringtone you can download Handscent from the Playstore which allows you to apply ringtones to individual contacts
