Video Tones as "ringtone" ?

Hello,
does any one know an application that can enable videos to be set as ringtones for incoming calls? So far I have found 'Vringo' as a solution but using it didn't allow you to add different videos to different people from the contacts. It allows you to choose only one video.
Thank you in advance.
there should be mivtones (www.mivtones.com) . Never tried it though
Thank you for the tip. i installed it, however the programm is not working properly on my HTC Desire. When i enable it the phone is ringging with the standart ring tone and once i decline the call the video starts playing. I had some issues with the vringo application as well, but it's working fine as long as you don't turn the vibration on.
i had this app on my iphone and its great it will probably be a few updates to work out the bugs but otherwise there support section is good about getting out the best product possible

Unaudible "Second incoming call" notification

Hi everyone,
I've been running FroyoStone on my HD2 since a while, but I've just noticed this morning that my "Second incoming call notification sound" is unaudible !
To be clear : supposing X is calling me while I'm already online with Y, the screen displays the X caller ID (if the screen is on - for example when I use loudspeaker), but I cannot hear any notification sound...
Would you have a solution to this issue because I've missed many calls recently with that (and my darling is mad to me now although I swore to her I had really not noticed her calls !!! ).
Thanks XDA.
Did you recently mute any application? (e.g. motonav, google navigation)
Try unmuting these applications while they are running and check settings - sound to see if any of the sliders are muted.
Also try unmuting while browser is playing sound from some website.
One of these should fix your problem.
Please give feedback.
Hi and thank-you for your reply.
I've never muted any apps, but tried anyway your tricks. It is still not working.
My phone rings when I receive a "first call" but a second call, while already online, is never notified...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
weird, I get proper notification with second incoming call.
I would only suggest you the obivious: Backup your current Android folder and temprorarily try another build to see if you get the sound. Thus you can find out if it is build related. Also, do you get notification with winmo?
I've tried to call myself while already online at a moment where everything is very quiet... and I can hear a notification ! Very very tiny one, almost unaudible but it's there !
Would you know a way to make it loudder ?

[Q] About Dorimanx ROM

i cant ask it on his thread so ill ask it here..
1.I switched by mistake to the front camera on the android cam app,and now i cant enter to it because it just close the app with an error,what should i do?
2.I want the ringtone to be one of my songs (they're on SD-CARD and on the phone),how can i do this?
1 - have you already tried to reboot the phone? It should reset the camera app.
2 - dunno about dorimanx rom but the default gingerbread music player should have an option to set a mp3 as ringtone if i remember well.

Go to manage applications>camera>clear data, should work although you may have to reset a few settings if you had any (i.e. saturation, contrast, sharpness) but that doesn't take long.

On the market there are loads of apps which can convert MP3s to ringtones, and as the earlier post said in the stock CM7 music player that is also an option (go to the 'Now playing' screen by pressing the box at the bottom with the song in it, then menu>use as ringtone).
Again on the market there are tons of task killers and stuff, or you could use GO Launcher which is IMO the best launcher and comes with a task killer built into the launcher (in the app drawer there is a 'running' apps section which you can use to kill stuff).

[Q] Low ringtone volume, no SMS notification

Hi All!
I've flashed a [JB] [4.1.2] Pixeldroid Jelly Bean V2.4[AOKP] rom to my HD2, almost everything is good,
but one problem makes me crazy.
The ringtone volume is very low. Interesting is, that if I choose rintone in settings its "preview" volume is great, but if real person calls me it is very quiet.
I read a lot about common Android problem and tried a number of volume boost apps with no result. I read also, that on Jelly Bean these all apps don't work with external speaker.
I read the whole ROM developer thread, and nobody mentioned about low volume problem. Do I have just no luck?
Before I had Windows Phone and volume was OK. And as I said, also it's loud enough playing music to an external speaker or selecting ringtone. Only if somebody calls me it's quiet.
Another problem, that was mentioned in the developer thread is no notification tone receving SMS, at all! just vibration.
Please help.

MusicFX does not help to me What I did an mp3 little bit louder but with disorting, helps but not so much.
With SMS vibration first I had also no vibration, it is switched off by default. In SMS window press HD2 middle "windows" button, choose Settings, and somewhere there is Vibration in menu, set to "Always".

New version 3.0 is online. Did anyone test it?
Question: (I'm new with Android) how do I store/restore my applications? For example, I have already Navigon with hundred MB maps on SD Card, should I install all of them again?
I heard "Titanium Backup" - helps this?

Pixeldroid ROM, look at first post. I think the low ringtone volume problem is general Jelly Bean problem, I read a lot about Nexus Phones, that was upgraded to Jelly Bean and have low ringtone volume.
But maybe custom-ROM developers has an idea how to fix this?
Well I'm going crazy, or Adnroid is the system from the Future, which heart my wishes and corrects itself
Yesterday I had no tone receiving SMS, and ringtone volume was very low. Yes, yesterday I definitly received SMS and calls.
Today the volume is good and SMS tone also
I did nothing - I'm still on Pixeldroid 2.4, no apps installed - nothing. One thing I can remember - It hanged yesterday as I wanted to run Angry Birds Start Wars for my son, and I pulled out the batterie, and boot it again. Two days ago I played with and set Musik Effects to "Musik FX", but without any changes.
May be this is it: set to Musik FX and reboot?

try this if you want to ..its what i did
copy the attached musicFX apk to your sdcard then with esfile explorer or root explorer copy it from your sdcard to system/app then paste and overwrite the existing one then reboot
it helped me with low volume and ringtones
i noticed my 'dspmanager' quits alot on me. i will be listening to pandora or something, pck up the phone to adjust volume and get a message 'dspmanager has stopped working' or something to that effect. maybe that's the root issue to the volume problem.
in fact, just came across this on another link. i'll give that a try.
This is not fix, but you can turn off DSP...Go to DSPManger> uncheck Enable for each configuration (Heaset, Phone speaker, and Bluetooth device).

nevermind, no love. seems the dspmanager version baked into the JB ROM doesn't provide the ability to disable it for those settings.

same problem with ringtone and sms tone
I am having the same problem, but this problem only started when I changed my sim card
to a new one as my old sim card would not receive a signal.
I was running my HD2 with a jellybean rom for months without this low volume on ringtone problem.
As soon as I inserted a new sim card , the phone now has the low volume problem.
I have tried to re-flash the rom , it works but only for a few hours.
The ringtone and sms tone will be loud for up to 1 day , and then it suddenly goes low on the ringtone,
and does not work at all for sms.
Anyone with a fix ?
Why does it work for 1 day and then go like this ?

Any idea what happens just before the volume changes? A particular sound played, app ran or ?

If you have a 50% chance of being right, you will be wrong 90% of the time...

This is just a shot in the dark and is probably useless..
Are you using MP3, WAV or some other sound format in some cases and OGG in some others? In other words, let's say your ringtone is OGG but the notification is MP3 or the other way around? If yes, try to change *ALL* sounds to OGG and see if that helps.
Thanks for your help, but it did not work.
The funny thing is , when you select a ringtone from settings/sound it plays
back loud, also if i try to adjust the volume from low to full it also plays back loud.
Only when i get an incoming call or sms , thats when its low, too low . I often miss the call
as i do not hear it.
I tried re-flashing the rom, it worked but only for 1 day, then suddenly switched.
No obvious reason or installation.
What bothers me is that the HD2 did not have this low volume problem before
I changed my sim card.

Unfortunately I have seen this issue reported in various devices and ROMs.
My guess would be it is something on the Android / Google level though I cannot say what.

Check my thread, the last post. Download the file, unpack it and copy mp3 to sd card/audio/notifications or sd card/amedia/notifications. If such folders don't exist, create them. I'm not shure which od these two paths will work, try both.
Then go to the settings, sound>system>notification sound and choose silent mp3, it should be there. If not, add it with the + sign in the upper right corner.
You can also find silent ring.ogg file and copy it to the sd card if above method with mp3 doesn't work.
Hey thanks for your reply . But didnt solve anything , this made notifications silent for everything (ex whatsapp) while also still playing the "life is good" for ussd notifications :banghead:
