Buy or Download Ringo Pro or Lite, I use it for my SMS tones so i know if its worth goin to my phone or not haha.
Add a 'notifications' folder to your memory card.
Copy the tones you want to the folder.
They should then be visible in email, calendar, sms tone settings.
@CodeMonkey
at first i put 'Notifications' but didn't worked out, LOL i thought my magic wont have any problems recognizing 'Notifications' and 'notifications'
it needed to be all small letters to work AND ALSO the 'notifications' folder must be inside the 'Music' folder of your card.
Thanks alot CodeMonkey you ARE my HERO =p
btw i can't forward messages sent to me to my other friends,
also there is no inbox, outbox,sent messages etc.
SMS in magic is like a chat...
Thanks heaps, was just trying to figure out how to do this!! Didn;t need to put notifications in music though, just straight on the sdcard and it worked a charm.
Thanks!

Open your message and do a long press, this will bring up the menu to forward your messages. This applies to the stock Message app and chompSMS.
@aniriand
my bad dude, yes you it also works even if the folder is not inside the 'Music' folder
@BigRD
Thanks dude for that one oh men im really loving this phone
Note that you can do the same for alarm tones with a folder called alarms (on the root of the card) and ringtones (with a folder called ringtones).
download rings extended from the market... it easy to use
@whitechocolate
i dont have android market on my phone, just slideme
and i think making folders is better than installing apps
@CodeMonkey thanks for that another useful info ^_^
were not allowed to post warez on here but hopefully i can do this...

hey everyone
i'm new to this forum, have read around and found alot of useful info about the tytn.
but there are two issues i havent seen anyone talk about on this or may be its just me.
first, i cant seem to find an option to text message contacts that are saved in my SIM. Can you not message contacts in your SIM? or am i doing something wrong here?
Secondly, how do i set my ringtone as the alarm tone as well? because the sounds for alarm are too short and i need someting that will play for a while.
can anyone help me out with these ? any help will be appreciated. Thank You in advance
For the alarm tone, you need to copy a .wav file to the WINDOWS folder of you device. It should then show up in the drop down menu on the alarm page.
Unfortunately, you can only use .wav files and not .mp3. I've also noticed that files larger than 30kb wont play which means the tones would be short.
oh ok.. i tried to put .mp3 file in the windows because i noticed the alarm tones are there but i did not see it when i was setting the alarm so i guess it should be .wav and no more than 30kb i guess?
thanx alot.. going to try that
is there a way set different tones for receiving a text message and different tone for receiving a call? i did not see an option for that
also about text messaging.. i cant see an option of texting a contact if they're saved in my sim.. is there a way around it?
thank you for your help
anyone....?

when you open contacts and select a sim contact it asks you do either to make a call or send a text

thanx for the info.. i put a .wav file into windows folder and the size was 798kb and it worked
figured out everythin except messaging sim contacts..
i go in contacts.. there are no contacts so i go into menu .. sim manager.. and go into menu .. no option of text messaging.. i even keep the scroll wheel pressed on a contact and only options are to edit, delete or call.. etc but no text messaging.. so i'm guessing the contacts have to saved on the phone !?
You're not the only one, I had the same Issue with my SIM contacts and text messaging also
Spent HOURS on the phone arguing with the iMate Support Helpdesk guys who all use the same stock-standard response "Have you soft-reset? Try a hard reset? I know you say you've done it but do it now while Im on the phone? Didnt work? I dont know then?"
Problem no longer exists with WM6, I also made a thread on a local forum:
http://pressf1.co.nz/showthread.php?t=86250
Unfortunately I dont think they're about to start patching WM5 for us, so I figured it was time to go back to WM6 again (Using Schaps 4.30 this time), and so far so good... pics up my SIM contacts fine in messagins now!
thats a releif .. thanx!!
so i guess i'l b upgrading to a different rom soon enough

Ringtones are generally .mp3 format whilst alarms are wav. format
Create a copy of ringtone you want to use and change it to .wav and you'll be able to use this for sms
do a search for a small program called ringo moibile, that will let you asign any ringtone for any function in your pnoe
thanks for the help..i have converted the mp3 to wav .
and placed it in the ringtones folder.
but it still can not see it .. to use it as incoming text message ....?
i have looked for ringo mobile...but says its not compatable with my phone...

.wav files don't go into ringtones folder to be picked up, they generally go into /windows along with all the other .wav files
I believe there are other apps out there if you search which can also do this. Go to the apps forum and try searching there.
ok thanks again...
is there an app that will allow me to look into the windows folder or how to access it on my phone..
sorry about all this..im new to the htc phones.
that is what i am using with the htc hd ( blackstone) and it works no prblem at all

hi ..
just want to say thanks guys for the info and help..
ive mostly got it sorted.....lol
im just playing about with it now ..
i think its miles better than an i-phone.
once again thanks for the help.
Hi all,
I've looked through both this board and the one for the G1 but can't find answer yet, which surprised me. Anyway, quick question.
I want to use an mp3 for my sms tone/notification! This should be easy but HTC seem to have made it difficult again. I know on old phones like the touch you had to put the file on the phone, in the sounds folder in system directory. Then you could pick it from standard list. Painful, but not a problem.
Unfortunately on my magic, I am unable to copy the file into the standard notifications folder as (when looked at using filedroid) the folder is shown as write only.
Thought I'd be able to remove the write only by plugging into computer, but that only seems to give me access to the sd card.
I have downloaded some applications that manage it, but it's all a bit of a faf. Is there a way to put it somewhere, or get phone to look at folder on sd card?
Bit long winded, sorry.
Thanks for any help.
Steve
Create a folder on your sdcard called "notifications" - any mp3s in there should then show up for selection.
Likewise "alarms" for custom alarm tones and "ringtones" for custom ringtones.
Nope. Tried that to no avail. It's really weird. I have since found an application called Rings Extended that seems to manage it without any real messing around. So I guess I will just have to carry on using that for now.
Sorry Codemonkey, please scratch my last comment. Although the rings extended works well, you appear to be correct in your response. Unfortunately I didn't realise the need to reboot the phone after creating the folder, and after each subsequent addition of tracks/sounds etc. It only seems to update when phone turns back on.
Thanks for your response.
As you've been so helpful, I wonder if you can help out on something else.
I now have my notifications set up the way I want, with the exception of email. At present it puts a notification icon up, which is fine and dandy. But it also sends out a noise, seemingly the same notification used for SMS. Is there a way to disable the noise, just for email?

For both GMail and e-mail when in the app press Menu -> Select ringtone -> Silent
Why thank you very much. You are a treasure.

Helpful people, please help again. The email notification (now thankfully silent) is set to show in the status bar.....perfect. But....it also flashes the LED, can I turn off the flashing just for email. I like having the visual status bar, so when I have unread email I know it, but as emails are always popping in, the phone is nearly always constantly flashing. Really annoying. I don't mind it flashing for SMS, but sometimes you just want to ignore email
I know it can be done on th Hero. Thanks in advance.
I wanna change the sound, informing when SMS/MMS comes in.
What should I do for this?
+1 for this. I tried dropping mp3 and WAVs into the Rings folder but they don't appear for message notifications just ringtones.
I haven't tried this, but could you rename your own .wav file to the name of one of the pre-set alarm tones that you don't use, then select it for your SMS alert?
MP3s go in the root Windows directory, they then appear in the SMS list...I have a movie sample as my SMS tone
Brilliant....thanks a lot. Works a treat!
You can also place sound files in the my documents root folder on your sd card. That helps to keep more space free on your phone. This took me quite a while to figure, too. Because I also started experimenting with the windows/rings folder without success
Regards,
Lars
I've just read this thread as I wondered also how to use my personal SMS tones and couldn't figure a way.
I was initially going to put it in Windows root as a PP suggested but followed the advice of another PP who suggested My Documents root on the Storage Card.
Well... originally I had a choice of 7 message tones and after I plonked my chosen tone in the My Documents root, I went back to the message tones to select it and... as well as mine, loads more appeared that weren't there before! Like my doing there seemed to unlock/release more to choose from.
Hey, I'm not grumbling, I'm just like How did that happen?
Hopefully this won't turn out to be a bad thing
Ive figured out how..but..
ok thanks for the root insight. I was curious though if there is a way to keep them in a folder and not just in the root folder. I like to keep my sd cards clean and organized.
Hmmm I also have had problems with this, i have my text message alert i want to use and have dropped it into the my document folder on the storage card, but still can't see it to set it!!!
Any ideas please?
Ahhh it's OK, unplugged the phone, went back to main menu then tried it...I see it now
Thanks
I want to set my own tone for my messages. I have had the mobile just and a week and I am to tired to sit and find it myself, I have tried but just end with a migraine...........
I am also wondering what the term "rooting" means? PLEASE EXPLAIN....
only way to set a tone for messages is to download a ringtone client from the market or when your connected to computer is to manuelly put music tracks in the defualt message tone folder, there is a app called "ringtone" that you can load your mp3 track in to and cut down to use the part of the tone you want to use,
