The majority of my ringtones are listed twice, they are too quiet when turned all the way up and there are no ringtones appropriate for somebody who is not a soccer mom or in junior school...am i missing something? like maybe ringtones that are not entire original instrumental songs? I use a song from my music but id like a standard ringtone...otherwise Im loving the phone (except for the notification light that seems to only work for some text messages) thank you

Search google for a mp3-wav converter, cant remember which one i use but will update post when i get home and check.
Remember also a mp3 song converted to wav form will be a very BIG file, better to sample just a small ( very small ) section of the track and then use this for sms notifications.
There is a program called phonealarm that you can use, you can choose any sound you like for SMS.
First post....hello everybody.

I use Audacity (free) to edit MP3 first by selecting the part of the song or clip I want to use as a alert. Then you can remove one channel (right or left) which cuts down the size quite a bit. As far as I know all PPC speakers are MONO so there is no need for a stereo ring-tone or SMS alert. You can also change the bit rate but don't go to low or your sound will be distorted. Audacity also allows you to adjust the volume of the output alert so you can have a nice loud sound and attract allot of attention when you pull your phone out. LOL.
Also Remember that a SMS alert is (I think) shorter than a ring tone alert. (ring tone alert is between 30 and 35 seconds) I wont get my 8525 till Monday but I have a E-TEN M600 and I believe the length of the SMS is the same as the 8525/Tytn.
One thing to note: you can mute a ring-tone when someone calls but I have not found a way to mute or stop a SMS alert when it comes in.
After you have the perfect RT/SMS alert as a MP3 find a free app out there that will convert it to a .wav. I use a app that came with Nero.
You can also try Ringo. This is a app that will allow you to assign a different sound to any incoming sms message.
ie. I get a traffic update via SMS everyday before I go to work and I assigned the sound of tires screeching and horns blowing impatiently as my SMS traffic alert.
I am looking for some new ringtones, something simple but unique. I dont like music ringtones or theme songs, etc. One of my main ringtones is the one from the movie "Crank". I attached that ringtone to this thread.
Anyone else have any simple, cool ringtones?

This is my favorite ringtone ever. It's the martians from Sesame Street (the Yip Yips) finding a telephone.
@nolageek,
that’s cool, i remember them from childhood. I found some variations of the ringtone here

I've seen questions on this subject arise on several occasions. I've got a few myself (have used the stock sounds until now), as this is the next thing that I'd like to tweak!
Now, I'm trying to find the proper registry keys that set which sound is used for what. I know I can config it all through the settings window, but I want to be able to shove it in my settings xml (I flash a lot). I've been looking everywhere, but can't find the keys! Who can guide me?
Next, does anyone have a good (free) source for ringtones (not music, ringtones) and other sounds that can be used? Something simple as a ringtone is not something I wish to pay money for, and I don't like using music so much. What does everyone else use?
I make my own. If you already have music you want to have as a ringtone, you can use a music editing app (I use fruity loops as a musician, but there are some free ones out there) to cut to the part of the song you want as a ringtone, and compress it to a small enough file (although as technology has advanced the need for compression isnt such a requirement anymore).
Not sure how far the law goes as to how small a piece of music has to be before it becomes a legal loyalty free "clip", and what XDA-Dev would alow, but if someone could clear it up, ill happily turn tracks into ringtones, if I have them in my library and someone requests it. (depends on the legality though!)
ringtones
as explained elsewhere on sms tones.
audacity is a great trim tool.
sms tones have to be WAV,and pasted into windows folder on device
ringtones can be mp3 and placed on card or device.

Apologies if this has been asked but I've not found a thread so far for this problem.
I am using rom 1.61 and recently decided to add different ringtones to my most common contacts. The ringtones are just normal MP3 files, eg some are songs, some are stuff like TV theme tunes etc. They all play perfectly in any of the media players like coreplayer etc.
But when any person with a personalised ringtone calls me, I get no ringtone at all. The phone vibrates, and the speaker is on & volume turned up, but no sound plays.
Anyone know if this is a fault, or is there a setting I have missed or something?
Thanks
Jim
i had this problem with the same rom but i found that setting the ringtone through file explorer seemed to sort it out
Don't think that will help will it mate?
You can only set the current overall ringtone like that, and the problem I've got is that ringtones set that are different for various people do not play.
Actually, I just found something out, that when I've set these personalised ones for different people it has set itself as a default tone just to vibrate.
I've changed it to a proper ringtone now, but I'll have to get a friend to call me to see if this works now. I have a suspicion there's more to it than this......
Bump! Anyone?
In the root of your SD card create the following folders
Notifications
Ringtones
Alarms
In these folders put your favourite MP3 files. You can now use these MP3 files as per the topic.
Notifications - Message tones and Notification tones
Ringtones - Your phone ringtones
Alarms - Your alarm mp3s
Using these folders there is no need to play the MP3 files first in Music Player.
Hope this is useful for other newbies like myself.
Thanks for your info.
It will help for newbies.
Is there a way to delete the ringtones converted with the audioplayer. I guess they are copied to the internal memory of the phone, aren't they?
Thanks mobisat, it's useful
