I had my own call tone to sms and mail, but when my phone restarted (I had to because it needed it, it was so slow) everything was gone on my phone. I can't remember where I have to copy my sound files, so the phone can get them and use them in sms and mail tones. I hope someone out here can help me. I can't remeber where I had them.
I wonder also In Windows 7 can the backround on the desktop switch every 5. minutes if I want, is this possible in htc hd2 I have many backgrounds I want to use.
When you say 'restarted' it, you mean you wiped the phone back to factory default?
Yes I have.
Sorry I missread your first question. You can put them in Device\Windows\Rings and it will work like a charm.
*Edit* Or Device\My Documents\My Ringtones.

You will need to insert your custom ringtones into these folders. The second may well be a hidden folder, I use Resco Explorer so I see all hidden files and folders.
Resco file explorer can't find these files in rings folder. How can I copy these files in it? My computer can't find any folder called windows, but resco explorer on my phone, it finds windows folder.

Open Resco File Explorer go to menu, options, general and then the browser tab, uncheck all of the boxes and you will see all hidden files and folders.
I got it now, I used file explorer. I Marked the files, got in to Send To, Add/Delete and made a new folder with name Rings and the files have now being copyed in there. Now it's working. Thank you

on my qtek9100 there are a couple of sounds that i would like te change, ie. the click sound when opening start in the Today screen. These sounds however are sytemfiles. I tried changing the names, deleting, moving. Everything. But it's not possible for me to change the sounds. Does anyone have a good tip on how it is possible to change /delete/ update the systemfiles of the Qtek9100?

Any files in the rom cannot be deleted but they can be overwritten (the file is still there in the rom under the file you just placed on it). It cannot be done with the stock file explorer, use gsfinder (my personal fav) http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1203 or total commander 2
I tried it with TC and tested it by trying to delete a file called Aloutte.mid in the windows dir.
This is a file that's anoying me from the go since it's a music file that I would like removed from my phone. But even TC responded with a message that 1 file could not be removed. As it's a system file. If I want to change the clicksound from start, are you saying I should rename the files first and then copy the desired sound (using the name that the original soundfile uses) to the windows directory? Is that the way to overwrite the systemsounds?

Yes that is the correct way. The only way to silence aloutte.mid is to overwrite it with a silent mid file.

Uploading to Rapidshare and Mediafire as we speak. Something I'd like would be to implement the Diamond Sound Scheme into our current devices; I vaguely remember being able to change the sound files in the registry... Maybe someone could go through it?

Sorry for the Mediafire link, for some reason, the file got messed up. Rar extensions removed, added, everything's compressed.... ah it's a mess. i'm removing the link.

Settings for ring tones are stored under:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories]
E.G.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"InitVol"=dword:5
"Speaker"=dword:1
"Directory"="\\Windows\\"
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"DefaultSound"="Ring-WindowsMobile.wma"
You can just copy the files to your windows folder and select whatever you want in sounds/notifications. No need to change the registry.
I have this ringtones already in my Cruise, and my question is how can i degrease the volume?? even when u set the tone volume at "0" it still sound? and if u have 2-3 the volume is very loud, how came? any solution for that?
i copied the sounds folder to the root of windows, but havent found a way to use them from sound notifications

That is strange. Once in the Windows directory, you should just be able to go to Settings>Personal>Sounds and Notifications.
Select the 2nd tab on bottom. For each item (e.g., Incoming email..) you can select a sound from the pull down. All sounds from the Windows directory should be listed there. If not, maybe it is a format issue (e.g., wma vs wav vs mp3).
maybe i need to rename the folder? i copied the folder, should i copy the rings directly to the win directory not in a folder?
for incoming call ringtone the file should be in wmv format and can be everywhere even in storage card..
for other tones the file should be in wav format and be directly in windows folder

Check the registry ...and sometimes it looks into my documents/my ringtones folder might work for some registry setting
Put only the wav sound in windows root then u can see them in notification settings. wma files u can put in windows rings folder or, device->my documents->my ringtone
alright thanks all, its working
You have to extract the sound files from the folder and copy them to your windows root folder.
cool... now i got a sms alert tone
I'm not able to set the volume of .wma Diamond's ringtones in my Touch Cruise...
How can i do?
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
The most weird thing i ever encountered today with my HTC Pro2.
I renamed the folder "Beauties" to "Beauties." with Resco File explorer 2008 (note there is a dot after Beauties).
The Original path is" Storage card/Pictures/Personal pictures/secret/Beauties".
After existing Resco Explorer,I went back to see the folder again,jesus christ, the folder has gone! just disappeared without a trace.
I tried all means,soft reset,Resco Explorer,show all the files and folders, Resco photo viewer, connected with PC etc etc,all of them cannot find this "Beauties." folder.
Inside this Beauties folder,there are many pictures that I collected over years,no no I dont want to lose them.
Is this bug?
Am I being cursed? (lots of porn pictures in this folder as well)
How to get my folder back??? please help,help,help!!!!!!!!!
If there is a way to get the folder back,maybe we will have a best way to enscrypt folders?
Why don't you sync with your computer and use the MS ActiveSync to explore your phone? It is much easier on the eyes to look for a file on your computer screen than on your phone.

thanks for suggestion,As I said,I tried all means,including your suggestion. Got nothing.
no idea what could have happened.
folders with a period show up fine on my tp2, both in explorer and commander, never used resco though.
ne how, before you do anything else, do the following
remove the sd card,
plug it into a pc,
run a data recovery program on it.
tried everything,no cure for it.
My conclusion is that after you add period(dot) at the end of the name of the folder,this folder is deleted forever.
A bloody lesson.
Bye bye pictures,bye bye ladies.
Hmm . Files may be gone..
but I'd try another file explorer app if I was you
Total Commander --> http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
You sure you renamed it xxxxx. and it took? Perhaps you did a typo (accidentally touch the touchscreen thereafter and it's called something else your not expecting?)
this just happened to me today using resco file explorer!!! dot on the end of a folder bam!!! all folder is gone!
bring it back
if you ever do this again press ctrl+z to get back the folder, it happened with me so being a photoshop freak instantly went for the keys and thankfully got the folder back with the old name, still cant understand what's happens when you put a dot (.) at the end of a folder name.
Ps. this will only work for a few mins after the rename before any other changes are made after which it is useless

1. On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor
2. Save the blank file as “.nomedia”
Make sure that the Save as type is set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”
3. Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing audio files you don’t want to show up.
(Example: If you want to block CoPilot sound files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/copilot folder)
4. Reboot your phone and the files should no longer be viewable

absolutely brilliant, I've been looking for this answer for ages!
However, there is one thing it doesn't stop for me: I have a folder called Android/cache which is autocreated on reboot (I'm assuming), and my .nomedia file get's deleted with each reboot from that folder. This folder holds all the notifications/ringtones etc that come from HTC Hub. Anyone else experiencing this? Obviously this only really applies to the Desire HD builds.
It works also with graphic files. Great!!!
Now does that .nomedia file need to be placed in the particular folder the image is in or does it work by plaing in the parent folder. I ask because my album art shows up in the gallery and I have roughly 1000 songs, it would be way too much to have to place in each song folder lol

yeah, it needs to be in every folder you want to "hide" it doesn't affect child folders.

Put one in the Android/root/cache folder, and it'll get copied back on reboot.
Dang, is there an option to copy one file to all folders? lol

I had that idea already lol, for some reason after a reboot tho the file disappears and the cache folder get's emptied then refilled with my notifications but no .nomedia (like a complete refresh but without the file I put in). not a major problem just a bit annoying.
Worked like a charm. Thanks Much Sk0o.
