Beware!...cause if U have changed to SD card...it stop responding after a while and it makes back to default windows folder!...I suggest to use the Storage folder for ringtones...not the SD card.
For the reminder...I don`t know the answer sorry... :roll:

What's awhile???

Don`t know mate...but I have to change it every day...cause it always change it to a default directory... :roll: Look at the thread about it...which ROM version do u use?
Regards,
Primoz
p.s. I was using it with Caller ID...
I have Untouched ROM 1.03.00WWE
When i choose a file and press "set as a ringtone" it SAYS " Copied to \windows\rings\****
But when i check the rings Folder it never does...i don't know
But it is working perfectly even when it wakes up from suspend state or after a SR.
I read the thread about...
Now i wanna know if i can do the same to Themes and alarms
AFAIK for themes you can do it. just place the themes on an SD card or Storage and copy ignore_my_docs to the root and they should appear on your selection screen. As for reminders I haven't seen anything on that yet.
Thank you, worked like a charm.....
Now any1 knows about the reminders?
your welcome been looking around the registry and I've found only one entry for it.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Notifications\Reminders\
doesn't seem to be a directory entry like in rings though.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Notifications\Reminders\
I have seen that before tried to make some changes, but nothing happened.
i appreciate the help
Still looking for a definite answer to whether if it is possible or not?
Hey,
is there any chance to change the ringe tone directory? I already read some threads. But changing directory in regedit HKCU\controlpanel\soundcategories\ring did not work
I aslo read that i might not be possible to change rings directory to SD-Card because of insufficient access speed to card... Is that right?
Thanks for update...
Anybody?
Thx...

What's the purpose of changing the default ringtones directory? You can still put your ringtones wherever you like and select them with File Explorer....
I have set in registry to point to my storage card.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring
Directory = \Storage Card\Rings
where "Rings" is a sub folder inside my Storage Card.

yes,he can do this by file explorer, but when i select an mp3(for ex.) it copy that to rom of device, (without MMC it will work)...this will populate the memory
Well, it seems that WM6 can see ringtones in root of storage card so there's no need for any registry tricks (it doesn't work either) just copy all your ringtones there and select it from Sound&Notification option in Settings...
I'd advise not putting ringtones into a Storage Card. Most of the time it will be OK, but sometimes, the initialisation time of the card will mean the phone won't ring till after the call gets transferred to VM.
MP3 and WMA ringtones need the initialise the WMP kernel to play, which adds to the time taken to activate.
Just copy the ringtone you need to \Storage Card\My Documents
works fine to my wm6.
thanks.
You can also create a folder on the storage card called 'My Ringtones' and it works
10X maxxtech,
its work!
The other trick is to shorten the mp3 down to about 15 to 20 seconds of the actual part of the song etc you want.
This keeps the file size right down.
sorry to bring back a really old thread, but i figured its better than creating a new one...
I havea question, I added ringers of *.wma's to my \windows directory, but when I go to Sounds & Notifications, I dont see any of my added ringtones, am I doing something wrong here?
In the Registry, the location for rings states the "\Windows\" directory...
nobody!?!?!
sorry, double post!

Good suggestion.
Thankx
Alright well I have my micro sd card in my device, and all my music on the SD card in the My Music folder, but for some reason the device doesn't want to recognize the songs. I can play the songs by going to the file explorer, but it's a pain to do. I go to WMP and click menu > library > and only see my device, no storage card. I go to update library, it finds the 60+ files, but only adds the 2 stock audio files. Help is appreciated.
Anyone know whats going on? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Please use the search function, this issue has been discussed several times.
Anyway, delete the folder "MSMETADATA" on your card and try again....

scholbert
^^ There is no folder called "MSMETADATA." However there is a folder called "Data," should I delete that?

No this won't help i assume.
Please try again and use your host pc and a card reader.
Make sure that all files are shown in windows explorer, also hidden and system files.
MSMETADATA is a system folder, it is not visible in mobile file explorer.
Alternatively you may install total commander or resco file explorer on your device.
Have a look here or search the forum:

Thanks. Worked. Forgot to enable the view of hidden files like you said.

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
1) Just delete Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe files from Windows directory.
Both these files are copied during hard reset from the rom to the storage memory. As a result of that a functional copy of both files can be found in rom. The original files will be "activated" after deleting these files from the storage memory
2) Soft Reset
Opera will continue to work as previously
If you are unable to delete them, you can use Sktools and "Replaced Rom files" menu
Great tip, works a treat, thanks!
Very helpful, thanks!
Cheers always looking for more install space..

Tried to use Total commander but that didnt work. Is there any other way to delete those two files? Couldnt figure out "How to" with sktools.
Yes! Very good, thanks!

Open Sktools -> Click on Category -> Select Files -> Select Replaced ROM Files -> Check Opera9.exe & OperaL.exe -> Click Action -> Click Restore ROM file
I don't think that you can delete read only files that are included in the ROM.
Even if you delete those Opera files they will probably come back after a soft reset.

There is a double copy of these files, in rom and in storage memory. You delete the files in storage and continue to use the files in rom. Deleted files will be restored after hard reset, not soft reset.

Thanks for replying but when i follow your instruction, none of the opera files show up on the list. Using total commander, i can see both opera9 and operaL in the windows directory. i;m using sktools 4.4.7.9. Any further help will be much appreciated.

You have already deleted them (probably with Total commander)
Check your free storage memory

You're probably right! It's gone up by 4.5mb. Thanks for your help and support. Really appreciated!
You can delete it using Total Commander: First rename the 2 files like Opera.old and operaL.old.
Then delete the 2 files :*.old
Daniel
Still cannot delete those 2 files after renaming the extension in Total Commander
Can't find a way how to delete those 2 suckers. They are like trojans in my PC! HA HA can't rid 'em! I guess I'll have to try that SKTools thing!
The same for me.
Can't delete these 2 apps on windows directory.
Using SKTools 4.4.7.13
Thanks for this. I was staring to run a little low!
Nice tip! Thanks. I just renamed them in Resco and moved them to SD. No reset required. Immediately saw the increase in memory and Opera still worked. Of course, doing a reset is still recommended

Same thing here, not able to find Opera files.
Edit: Sorry it was because demo version
i have use sktools for opera and its very good tools
when i look for other possibility of soft i look for storage analyser and i found my document use a lot of storage memory when i look in the music repertorie have copy a part of my mp3 in the storage card of my phone.
perhaps this is the same sytem of album htc.
thank for your very good topic
Worked like a charm
Did that by renaming both files to *.old and then deleting the resulting renamed files using Total Commander. Finally a soft reset.
One of the best hints so far. Thank so much.
I think it should be added to "*Leo Hints & Tips* - Things you may not have known".
