Hi Team,
I have some ringtones installed on the SD card from my old phone, but I don't seem to be able to select them from the ringtones menu. Just the ones that came with the phone. Do I need some software to change to a custom ringtone? Thanks!
tone picker is free and does the job
hi install a file explorer an make a folder on sdcard with name "media" in this folder you creat a folder with name "ringtones" put your ringtones in this folder and restart your phone...
the same with all other rings
media/alarms
media/notifications

Helpful first post
Yes, this is the preferred method as android can then separate your ringtones so they wont show up in your music player.
Got It!

That worked perfectly! Thanks for the help!
Thanks a lot It works perfectly.
Now scour the forums for all the other ROMS and rip the tones from them!

The 4 folders on your card should be
media/alarms
media/ringtones
media/notifications
media/ui
Obviously you can put any sounds you want in each one, although I wouldn't recommend an MP3 for a ui sound otherwise, each key stroke will take about 3 mins

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.

I have tried to make the change but it seems not to work.
Some suggestion?
Thanks
How do you change registry? Thanks.

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!

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?

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?
sorry i know this is a noob qns but i have been figuring out for quite some time and cant find the way to solve it...
i put all the mp3 into the windows/rings folder with all the stock alarm tone of our phone and when i went to the notification page to set the tone, i cant find my mp3??
please help me..thanks.. =)
You have to put your mp3 in Windows root folder, not in Rings subfolder. Cheers!
oh izzit..thanks..i will go and try now..thanks man!!!
hi sorry one more qns...
how to use our mp3 as the alarm tone??
i use ur method above and it works for the sms tone..but i cant see my mp3 in the alarm tone selection...
pls help again..thanks!!! =)
You have to convert that mp3 into a wav file.
hi, you can use mp3 as a ringtone or sms alert. but you have to unclock normal windows settings menu. in sound and notification menu ou can choose mp3 as alerts. i don't really remember if you have to put files in /windows or /application data/sounds folder. give it a try
when you just put a .mp3 file in the root of your storage card it will also work.

we don't need to put it in windows folder just put it to phone memory works i tried it my self yesterday
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

For the life of me i cant figure how to install ringtones! can anyone help me please?
create a folder, named 'Ringtones', in your microSD card, and put your music files in there.
The phone only read and extract ringtones from that particular folder =D

what about alarm clock ringtones
can i do the same or shall i create another folder?!
You can also set them through Mediascape. Just press options once a track OS selected and you will now have the option to set as ringtone.

Yep, once you set as a ringtone it will always be available on your list after that so you can switch back and forth without having to open the folder again.
P.S. you can put them in any folder you want to, you don't have to name it "ringtones"
