Hello, does anyone knows how can we set different sound for sms?
Finally can we install games such as Tomb Raider to our Xperia?
Thank you.
Roughly translating from swedish interface now:
Start -> Settings -> Sounds and messages -> Messages (tab).
Select "Messages: new sms" and change tune.
About games, there's more info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459248
welcome!
So it's your first post eh?
Congrats!
By the way before posting it's usually advisable to do a bit of lurking first....that way you'd learn about the wonderful search facility that this forum posesses.
Neat huh!
Annnnywaaay....use total commander to drop a wav file of your music into the windows directory and then use start/settings/sound and notifications/notifications and change your sms message sound.
Don't know what Total commander is? (Hint:search!)
can i use an mp3 file? and do i drop it to the windows directory or there is a specific folder?
thank you

...search, or try. It doesn't hurt and it doesn't break your X1.
However, yes you can use an Mp3. And about the folder, THJahar has already answered you.
Thanks a lot!

no, they don't have to be wav. You can just put the .mp3 in you're windows dir and it will show up between all your sms tones in settings.
"Finally can we install games such as Tomb Raider to our Xperia?"
some you can
but many people complain that tomb raider require more hardkeys then most
devices have to work ok

Ok this may be some stupid questions (I have only had my XDA II a couple of hours)
1) How can I use a custom sms message tone?
2) Where can I get free software for my XDA II
3) Is it possible to get a new case for my XDA II as its a bit scratched?
Many Thanks
Hi Chris!
1) Go to Start -> Settings -> Sounds and Notification -> Notification
There you can set the sounds for any events.
If you have a sound you want to use as your SMS-Sound, but can't find it in the drop-down list you need to do the following: Copy the sound-file (no matter if it is a *.mp3 or *.wav) simply in the Windows-Folder. Any Sounds listed in there will appear in the drop-down list.
2) there are quite a few Websites you can visit. Try
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/
They have a lot of stuff.
3) I havn't heard of that. Maybe it is possible. But I don't know.
didn't think you could use mp3 files for ringtones. Don't you have to convert them to wav format?
On the MDA/XDA II you can use MP3 as ringtones. I have one myself. But I think with the former PDAs it was not possible.
on my himalaya i can use wma and mid and wav as ringtones
but the normal notifications like recieving sms can only be wav
thats using 2003

Excellent mate! Thankyou worked great
My first post in this incredible forum, I have all ready found so much help here and are most thankful, please keep it up.
Is it possible to make your own message sounds and use them when recieving text messages etc.
If possible at all what format should the file be in (mp3 wav)?
Tried with an mp3 placed in the windows folder it seems it cant find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
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.
cheers

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.

You might try Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
It's a free download. I use Sound Editor in Roxio's Media Creator 8 -- one of the MANY useful tools in that program.

YW -- (but I'm a GAL -- not a guy)!! LOL!! But, that's ok -- none of my friends can believe how "techy" I am, either. But, I'm the first one they come running to with a problem. Go Figger!!
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.

Thanks a lot Mikebj, it worked like a charm & without soft reset

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
TroLoo
I searched the registry, found nothing, searched through some folders and found nothing either.
So as the subject says, is it possible to change these types of sounds? I've got some great sounds in mind. E.g. the sonic the hedgehog ring, for this event in particular.
... For new text I have the sonic 2 - 1 up sound :lol:
If you could help that would be great!
Hay there, yep this can be done, thou first you need the new message or notifcation clip to be a .wav file type, so you need to convert the items to wav first.
Once you done that place the newly converted wav file into the windows folder, not into windows>rings like you would do for ringtones.
Then goto settings, and notifcation and sound menu and select the new one there.
Hope this helps.
Ooo
I've been trying to figure this out, how could I change the sound that plays in my ear for callwaiting? lol i feel stupid because I can't figure this out!!!
Thanks!
Yup, I am not too happy in this realm as well. My busy tone sounds like a Modem that is trying to handshake, and that is when it decides that it is going to alert me. I would really like to swap out some of that stuff.
I beleive my expertise will come in handy here
There are many sounds which can be changed which ARE NOT visible in the "Sounds And Notifications" control panel. They can be accessed by pointing your reg editor of choice to...
"HKey_Current_User\ControlPanel\Sounds"
We'll take the busy tone as an example...
Navigate to "HKey_Current_User\ControlPanel\Sounds\BusyTone"
In there you'll see:
(Default)..................(value not set)
Catagory..................InCall
Script.......................apr
Sound......................HTCBusy.wav
Change the sound one to any file on your pda. (Must be an mp3 or a wave file) (Include the full path if the sound file isn't in "/windows") The changes should take effect immediately, if they don't you've not done it correctly...
Hope this helps you all...
Note: To my knowledge, you can't change the message sent tone, sorry...

Hi How can I change the new Text Message sound? I tried diferent wav formats, small about 65 bit till 120kb, but non of them where working. I could select them from menu, but no sound preview.
Thanks
Rusty
Guys,
My apologies if this has been covered before.... Only I've had a really bad day in Theatre (I lost a loving, warm and friendly aged Lady earlier) and all I want to do now is pack up for today and go home.
So.... I have a few custom sounds in .wma format that I've placed into Windows/Rings and would like to use these for my Text Messages, Email Alerts etc.
Trouble is the Sounds & Notifications list does not show these in the drop down list of available sounds.
If I select Phone they do show but any of the others and they are not displayed.
Therefore, the question being ~ Is there any way to have these custom sounds displayed and readily available for my Phone?
Thanks in advance.
Ringtones need to be be in the Rings folder.
Don't know why but anything else needs to be in the Windows folder to appear.
Here is one from Python Holy Grail that I find good.

That is quite strange...... All my Ringtones are located in Windows/Rings.
I don't have a folder named Rings in the root.
Thanks for the Monty Python... appreciated.
Apologies, let me clarify.
Ringtones in Windows\Rings
All others Windows\
Hope thats clearer.
My Sounds and Notifications show all the wav files in the windows directory, plus any wav/mp3/wma in My Documents (device or storage card).

Yes thanks... Got it now.
I've moved them into the Windows folder and they now work.
It's quite confusing when we mention ring tones and basically the ones I will be using are a ring tone.
But now I can see what you mean.... The default ring tones are in the Windows/Rings.
All other ring tones are in the Windows main folder.
Thanks.

The iPhone sound is very nice when you tap the screen but the custom HTC one is awful

If you just mean the system default go to messaging, settings, select ringtone. If you want custom tones for individuals Ringo.

Cheers for that, but for a feature that is available on most devices, it's not something that I'm willing to pay extra for... I'm sure the developer has done a great job, but I don't need different ringtones for different contacts or any of the other features...
The Lite version doesn't seem to have this bit, atleast, not by it's description....
I guess I'll just have to make do with "Captains Log"... unless anyone else know's of any other methods or free market place applications..?

I've got a MP3 file I would like to use... can convert it to any other format, but that's the one I want... cheers though!!
If you create a directory 'notifications' on your sd card and drop the file in there it should appear on the list for selection when changing notifications.

By puting mp3 ringtones in a folder called 'ringtones' on the sd card, you can use mp3's with ringo lite

If you had read above, you'd know you don't need any other software for that....
-bZj
If you have root, you can also do this so that all of the notiications, ringtones, alarms etc ..... are moved from your phone to your SD card.
Code:
mount -oremount,rw /system/dev/mtdblock3 /system
cp -r /system/media/audio/ringtones /sdcard/
rm -R /system/media/audio/ringtones
obviously change it for notifications and alarms.
you can use any sound u like 4 any notification u like by simply dropping the file into the windows folder in the file explorer under my device works for me cheers guys
