Hi everyone. I finished reinstalling all my apps and games for the 10th time today, after the obligatory hard reset.
While i was doing this i was wondering if it's possible to put a custom sound file for the error message. I have a really cool one on the PC and i want to put it on the x1. Is it possible? I used the search but didn't find anything relevant.
I think its a wav file in the windows directory. Try replacing it...what cool sound do you have?
Hehe 10x. It's difficult to explain to english speakers, because it's a part of a song and it's really hard to translate it. Basically it's a guy saying something like "What are you trying to do?" but with 3 words and a lot funnier .
Seems i was wrong..cant find that sound as wav in windows.
I didn't find it either. Someone must know the answer....HEEEEELP !!!!
Hidden bump???

Is there anyway to have a custom text message ring or a custom alarm ring?

um...for what/where?

PS Generic answer: sure!
Yes. But first, a suggestion (actually two):
You'll get a much better/faster response if you make your thread title more descriptive... "T-Mobile MDA" could mean anything! And in a forum dedicated to this device, it's sort of redundant.
And for the second suggestion... well, not to give you grief, but your question is *very* basic. You could probably figure it out by reading the manual, or poking around on your MDA. Not a subject really worthy of its own thread.
That said, here's the answer:
Go into Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications. There are two tabs; play around with what you see there. You can set sounds to most things that you do or that happen on your MDA. If you have a custom or special sound that you want, copy the sound file into the My Documents folder on your MDA; and then you will be able to select it in the Play Sound selection box on the Notifications tab.
Okay, sorry about the title, newbie issue.
But please don't assume that I haven't read the manual. Yes I have already done numberous times what you have suggested, I have plenty of files, but for some reason custom files are only compatible for ring tones. So unless you can provide me new information without being condescending as to the simplicity of the question, then don't provide anything.
Sorry for my tone, it just goes back to the saying about assuming.
New sms Tones
What you need to do is to put the sound you are after, in the form of a wav file into the windows folder on your device. It then appears in the drop down list in "Sounds & Notifications".
You can get some good tones from http://www.spbclub.com/index.php . You will need to register but they also have some great tips there to.
Hope this is of use.
OK, sorry... I really didn't mean to condescend or patronize.
Ixtana's post was good: Have you tried WAV files instead of MP3s?
Hi,
How can i replace the sound when message comes with an mp3 ? It only accepts midi i think.
Thanks
Put the tone in /windows/rings folder or root of storage card.
Buy an iPhone. Thats the only way for people like you.
If u r usin WM then copy .wav file in the windows folder and then change the notification sound from notifications.

The guy asked a question, don't be a such ****.
Message sounds can also be selected if the .WAV is stored in /Storage Card/My Documents too. This folder works for incoming call alerts and other alerts too (except Alarm tones, they have to be n /Windows for some reason!).
With my tones in my card's My Documents, and my .tsk homescreens in my card's root directory, no need to copy files after a ROM flash!

So let me guess - when you got your first HTC device you were a genius from the outset????? I think not Einstein, cut the person some slack and help - if you can that is!!! Otherwise, hold your tongue / fingers otherwise you may learn that there are others within these forums that can be equally smarmy!!!
To answer the question - you can look at asim.khans response, it is the same way that I managed to do this very thing.
Good luck.
thanks guys,
I'm sorry I couldnt reply instantly. I didnt know a wav file can be selected for a message ringtone. I wanted to select an mp3 file to be a message ringtone, I was just wondering maybe an application might change the settings and make it possible.
For the IPhone isseu, I dont think it's good for me because I love my HTC and I dont prefer iPhone, I used an iPhone for a couple days (I'm kinda nerd) and I prefer installing and uninstalling applications, trying new things, writing some little applications for my phone. It's the fun part, not playing with your fingers
Thanks for the replies
feeble minded...

Word! Couldn't agree more.
As the title says - is it somehow possible?
Thanks in advance
What the heck is wrong with you guys?
Every single thread I start gets viewed quite often but nobody wants to reply...
Just a ****ing Yes possible/ No not possible would be enough.... BUT NO ...
Damn I'm so ****ing pissed of this ****ing community....
dude, you gotta chill. it can be very frustrating in these forums but usually the answer is located in a post somewhere. i dont have the answer myself but i do know you can control media player.
take a deep breath and be prepared to read for hours because sometimes thats what it takes. the good news is that eventually you will either find the answer or somone will help. there are a lot of really great people on this site.
good luck, stay loose
Such an angry person for 13 posts..
I have not had any luck getting this to work, not to say its not possible, just didn't work for me.
same issue
I have the same problem, I've tried tweaking the .mp3 file format to default to HTC's Audio Manager, but no luck. When I tell Microsoft Voice Command to "Play Artist M.I.A." It always opens it in Windows Media Player.
Dude, I just got it to work. It opens up in WMP but it's better than nothing, right? Just say "Play Artist", then she'll name off a butt-load of things. When she's done, say which one you want to hear. Worked fine for me. Good luck. Make sure there's no background noise. That messes with me all the time.
hi friends this is my first post i wonder if there´s anyway to get the message tone to end when i read the message? like a normal phone i mean (no winmo)
i have a moto a3100 Winmo 6.1
sorry 4 my english im from venezuela
my samsung omnia behaves the same way. It seems caused by Winmo (mine is WM6.5.3). A little annoying!
yes it is seems like nobody is interested
bump it im interesed :C i want this :C
i´m still intereted so up!
bump it again xD
same here any body knows how to do it?
i think it can be stopped although im not sure how. my htc ozone's message tone stops whenever i press any key
im not sure if there is such a way..
but as of now the only way is probably to cut the mp3 file maybe?
say to play for abt 10 sec? personally ive been using vito ringtone editor..
its been around in the forum if im not mistaken..
if u want it, i'll attached it here..
NOTE: crck not done by me..
I've searched and searched and searched. But yet to find anything working well.
I'm trying to find a customizable soundboard app. There's so many sounds ide use (Dave Chappelles Rick James, Mr T, Anchorman... I could seriously go on forever)
If there's nothing out there you guys and gals could suggest for me, is there any devs out there that could point me in the right direction on how to write this app.
Cheers peeps
use this program http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wdaft-for-wqvga-vga-qvga-and-square-mobile.html as a base. in the explorer, you can switch the sounds and graphics to what you like. p.s. this program friggin rocks!
Dude, your gonna get busted posting warez here.
Dude, your cant post warez here. read the rules
how is it a ware? it says its beta and its listed as freeware on that site.
Sorry dude. Didn't actually read it. saw the site 'ppcwarez' and though it was
my bad
Nice lil app. but how would one change the sound s and such?
its all good. i installed to my sd. i go to my device/sd card/program files/godaft. in the two folders are the images and sounds. you can make your own images or go to iconspedia.com and grab some free icons and replace them with the originals. then you can grab the sound files you want to use and replace them with the ones in there. i dont know what format it is either .wav or .mp3, but you can grab an mp3 converter freeware app from somewhere to change it. the only thing you gotta do is make sure you rename the file you put in with the one you take out.
Sweet,
Ive managed to change the header and sounds to dave chappelle's rick james.
There's only one problem. The buttons still read 'harder, better, faster, stronger'
I cant find anything related to these in the skin folder.
Any ideas?
ok i just checked and there is no button associated with the words. my advice is to just reverse-engineer the app until you find the text written into it. try using a .cab decompiler/extractor or visual studio. if you dont know how to do this then maybe look around on here for people who deconstruct files. i would look and try to write you a new board but i dont have the time and resources right now. you might also wat to try to find another sound board like the fart app. not all of them have all images cooked into it.
Dude,... this is THE BEST app ever invented. Work has never been that easy,... I put "shut up", "go away", "bring me coffee" and "cu tomorrow" in the app and I never ever have to open my mouth again

Post your sound board once you finish

I didn't actually edit the program itself. I just created the 4 sound files (*.wav) I wanted and named them L1.wav, L2.wav, L3.wav and L4.wav
Then I replaced the original sound files in the Godaft/Sounds folder with my own ones and now the first 4 buttons play my sounds. The buttons are still called "work it", "make it", etc., but they play my sounds. So if I would add more sounds, it might become hard to remember, which sound is on which button,... but the 4 I have are all I need and easy to remember

Thanks buddy.
I used 7-zip to extract the cab file and got loads of files. Extensions are .001 all the way to .052 (I'm guessing these are the resouces) and an XML file (used to install)
I've looked through the XML in notepad and cant find anything there.
So its in the resource files somewhere. How do i open these files?
Ive checked out Visual Studio, but not sure which version I'm after as don't know which language this apps written in.
I'll grab the all-in-one package though

If you mean the Rick James soundboard I'll post it when its done. But I'm quite new to all this. Never written an app before. So might be a while lol

it sometimes sucks that you have to use multiple extractors to dig out one simple image. i still got an eye out for another soundboard for you that is much simpler to edit to your liking. there was also a guitar app i seen that was crazy simple to switch...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482726. there is only 6 sound options and you have to skin the buttons the same as guitar strings.
