and yes I've search, and it seems to apply to OTHER phone other than HD2, but if I've missed it, pls accept my apologies.
ok HKCU in the control panel, in the sound category
is the reg for where the ring tone is.
can i change this to point towards my storage card
I have a pocketAlarm that wakes me in the morning and it had no trouble finding the storage card, but I have PhoneAlarm that does

first is there a way to store ringtones on the storage card... when you assign a ringtone the file is copied to a directory on the main memory, I'm sure there's a registry hack to change this.
second is there a way to add any prog shortcut to the today screen?
I searched before I posted and didn't come up with anything.
The first:
Use Total Commander to navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\
Open Directory, a new window should pop up now, containing the current location for ringtones
Change the value to wherever you want to store your ringtones, for example \Storage Card\
Soft reset your device by holding the Power button for 5 seconds.
(from www.htcwizardweb.net)
P.S. I'm not suceeded to replace Rings folder. Maybe you will.
The second:
Install the application like iLauncher or for example O2 Plus plug-in to add shortcuts on to today.
thanks for the reply, It looks like ilauncher is worth $10. and I'll also try that reg hack later. I appreciate your help thank you.
check out PHM tray launch. Its free and will let you add program icons to teh system tray at teh bottom of teh today screen. Its on here somewhere.

Place the ringtones in storage card\my documents then they will be displayed in phone\sounds\ringtone list.
The reg hack quoted does not work.
Use claunch - its free, for shortcut icons to programs etc... http://home.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html
cool the ringtone thing worked, and i'll check out claunch, thank you very much.

Found the Sounds from Diamond on this thread. Post nr 4!!

Nice, thanks!
Sweet! I was looking for a simple download of sounds only. Thanks for the heads up!
Where should I put the audio files? In \Windows or \Windows\Rings directory? I noticed that all files in \Windows\Rings are duplicated in \Windows. Can I delete them in one of 2 locations to save space?
place the files where you like to.
ring-files in windows\rings can be deleted.
ringfiles in windows\ must be replaced with zero bit files to "delete" them.
But if I delete the files from both locations then I will not be able to use them. What I'm asking is in which folder I should put the files so that I can select them as ringtones
I put the tones i want as ringtone in My Device->Windows->Rings
Is it possible to adjust the volume of Diamond's ringtones from my TC?

Yes, I know... But even if the volume control is set to zero or 1 (or 2,3...), volume of Diamond's Ringtone is/will be the same (very high).
Probably is the .wma format???
Hmm.. yes you are right about that! Have someone a solution for that?? why its behave like this
wrong post

I don't know what i can do...
Ringtones go automatically to \My Documents\Rings folder
Something in the registry?
Sorry, i have this problem: i can't adjust ringtone's volume of an incoming call.
Volume of other notifying sounds (sms, appointments etc.) and music work properly.
Even if i set 0,1,2... or max volume level, it's the same (very high).
I've installed 2 third party softwares: pTravelAlarm and mccMobilFinder (that increase the volume even if it is set to zero); i've uninstalled them, but the situation is the same.
Probably some issue in the registry? Wich are the registry keys involved?
Can you help me please?
Thank you!
I noticed the same problem with volume, cant say why it is so. Its very stange..
I was setting things in the registry yesterday (On my Cingular-branded 8125, aka the Wizard/HTC P4300), and my BT stopped working. And it wouldn't connect via IR, USB, or anything else, either. So I cleared the storage and installed everything back, and put everything back where it was. Then, I app unlocked it and changed five other registry keys (To make it keep CABs after installing, remove the SMS sent notification, change my ringtone directory from \windows\ to \Windows\Rings\ [which worked before], to change my camera sound to \windows\Canon EF Shutter Sound.wav, and to reassign the Contacts softkey to PocketCM). Now, it shows two copies of all of the default ringtones in Start > Settings > Sounds & Alerts and Start > Settings > Phone. Also, when I go to File Explorer and go to \Windows\Rings\ to set an .mp3 file as my ringtone, it says that it was copied to \Windows\Rings\ and set as my ringtone. But when my phone actually rings, it plays the wrong file. So what registry keys or files do I need to move/copy/edit/delete/create to fix this? The police siren it set itself to is starting to get annoying...
*Pasted from this thread over at Brighthand.
ok, this may be a dumb question, but did you go in under settings, and set it to the ringtone that you want?
Yup. I set it in Sounds & Alerts and under Phone in the Start > Settings menu. Then I also tried setting HKCU>ControlPanel>Sounds>RingTone0>SavedSound to "\Windows\Rings\[name of my ringtone, ends in .mp3]" Without the quotes and a real file in place of the statement enclosed in brackets. I also set the same value to "">Sound. And it still plays a random ringtone from \Windows\. If I use File Explorer to set my ringtone from \Windows\Rings\, it sets the same value for the same file, but for some strange reason it plays an entirely different .mp3 (also in \Windows\Rings\) when it actually rings. So what the crap is up with my ringtones?!? It's weird.
It's fixed! I had to delete HKCU>Control Panel>Sounds>Sound, restart, delete every ringtone that appeared in Start > Settings > Phone, change the ringtone directory in the registry, then restart. Now it shows all of the sound files in the root of my card. I'll have to remember this for the next time my ringtones mess up.
registry problem
Here I have a good recommend for you: Tuneup360 and Norton system work, but the latter one is a little bit difficult. For the beginners, Tuneup360 is a good choice.
Hi to all,
I am trying to replace the file "lowbatt.wma" in the /windows folder, in order to have a different low battery sound, but the system does not permit me, neither to overwrite the file. Is there a way to do this action?
Thanks
Check this
I guess the phone wont allow you to overwrite or replace the default lowbatt alarm...since its on the ROM. If your trying to use a customized sound file....make sure its a wav file. Have you tried to just drop that file under the windows directory and then selecting it from under sounds and alerts? I believe this should work.
Good Luck.
Thank you.
The fact is that I do not find the option to change the sound of alarm low battery in the "alert/sound" menu. Where is it? I found only the one to change sound of incoming calls, incoming messages, ecc ecc.

If your using a stock phone you wouldn't be allowed to make this modification from the sounds and notifications option. What you can do then is to add this entry into the sounds and notifications drop down menu. To do tht:
1. Your going to need a registry editing software.
2. Back up your registry before proceeding ( if you havn't already done so)
3. Before you go into the registry, make sure the wav file tht you want to use as your preferred low battery alarm is placed under the windows directory.
3. Navigate to the location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
4. Create a new string value here and call it Default.
5. Set its value to Low battery warning
6. Now go sounds and notifications and under the notifcations drop down you should see the low battery warning option.
7. Select it and assign your customized wav file to the entry.
And your set! Try it out.
Good luck.
Many Thanks, worked a treat!
this might sound late, but use total commander portable

search for application: Tonality
it's the best, and it's free
I'd like to have an mp3 as my morning wake up call instead of the default alarm tones. Is it a massive issue to do this? I can't seem to find an easy way to do it. I'm assuming i'm gonna have to edit the length of the file, convert it and then save it to the /windows/rings folder?
Does this sound right?
The easy way is "Klaxon", an amazing freeware application to manage alarms with mp3 song.
Another applications is G-Alarm but I have read about some problem with HD2 and is not freeware.
In my HD2 now I use Klaxon and I like it very much.
Bye
Erik
in file manager save the mp3 as a ringtone,should show up in alarms then too (although I haven't tried)
Saving as a ringtone will not add it to the alarms list, I've tried it. I used mp3splitter to chop an mp3 up, then converted it to a wav on my PC (sorry can't remember the name of the freeware that does this, something obvious like mp3towav anyways). Once converted drop the wav into the Windows folder, it will now show up in the alarm tones list (note there is a filesize restriction, I have a file just over 4MB in size, however when I tried a longer tone that came to 8MB it didn't show).
Klaxon sounds like an easier alternative to all that though!
RE: Klaxon - does it replace the inbuilt alarms UI? By that I mean when you press the alarms button on the homescreen, does it take you to Klaxon? Can you post a link to the version of Klaxon you are using on your HD2? Thanks!
Put 'em into the root directory of the MicroSD
I have an MP3 ringtone for calls and another one for reminders... worked straight out of the box without any messing around - from the Settings tab to "Sounds & Display" to "Notification sounds".
On mine, it's able to automatically access anything that's in the root directory of the Storage Card.
Is it possible to have the alarm on continuous ring? On default the alarm rings once, stops for 10-15 seconds then rings again.
