downloads for XDAII

how do i get new wallpapers and ringtones etc etc for my XDA other than the ones they already provide?

as to ring tones then what you are really asking is
where can i get .wav .mp3 and .mid files
because you can use them all
so use google
about wallpapir then all pictures that the xda can display will do
more to the point then i feel you may be looking for skins for the today screen
which are called .tsk
here are some
http://www.free-computer-wallpapers.com/pocket-pc.htm
here is how you find some more

do i open download it on my computer then sync it onto my XDA or download it straight to my XDA?

for tsk files, you need to use activesync and save the file directly to your unit's"my documents" folder. for pics, the xda2 allows you use the picture software to set any pic you want as the wallpaper.
for wavs used as ringtones, you can save them direct to your unit's "windows" folder. you then need to use the "add ringtone" app to be able to use the wav file as a ringtone. or simply use them for notification sounds, alarms, etc. again, tyhrough activesync.
or if you have an sd-card reader you can simply save the files to the card, insert it back to the ppc and then save them in the designated folders described above.

the numbers are called a dialpad this goes both for xda, cellphones and normal phones and all other devices which have some sort of dial like function and some sort of pad like area to operate it

[GUIDE] Fixing music player splitting up Albums

When you put music on your phone the music player sometimes splits up the albums like this: (not my screenshot, credit to styckx)

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am not responsible for anything this may do to your phone, or your music (although nothing should happen to it)
This is how to fix it, simply without having to edit song on PC:
1. Go to settings > applications > media storage and tap "Clear Data"
2. Install ZduneX25's epic port of the Honeycomb music player (may work with Gingerbread player, not tried, can someone try and skip this step) from here:
On ZDuneX25's deviantART (install by replacing Music.apk in /system/app with it with root explorer, changing its permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooting.
3. Open the music app and it should be sorted (worked for me)
Done!
If you want the CM7 music app's apk to copy back to /system/app as above you can download it here

If this is happening it is because the id3 tags are different somehow. You are better off just using a program to fix it.

They're exactly the same and this process sorts it. Also, a program takes ages!

I just use mp3tag on the PC. The ui is a little confusing but you can actually match the songs with the tags from amazon including embedded album art. Takes some time but my music is now perfect on every device I put it on. I have noticed Google music loses some of the metadata when uploading for some reason. I have to always re-enter the album artist for some reason.

FINALLY Easy Method for CUSTOM Ringtone in HTC HD7 !!!!!!!

Making your own tones
But we know many of you have a particular ringtone in mind—or sound files already on your PC that you’d like to turn into one. In Mango, we give you the flexibility to do this yourself—with some important caveats. To qualify as a ringtone, a sound file must be:
1. 39 seconds or shorter
2. smaller than 1 megabyte (MB)
3. saved in MP3 or WMA format
4. not copy-protected (i.e. DRM free)
In short, custom ringtones can be installed using the Zune software on your PC. Once you’ve created an audio file that meets the ringtone requirements, find it in your Zune music collection, right-click the file, and change the Genre field to Ringtone. Then just sync the file to your phone like you would any music track.

Don’t worry: items marked Ringtone won’t show up in your phone’s music collection—so there’s no need to fear that during a workout you’ll suddenly hear your dog barking or other homemade ring. Instead, you’ll see them in Ringtones + Sounds in Settings, under a new Custom category we’ve created.

god very nice solution, thank youuuu. it s better short way to make your own ringtones.

This trick was posted in WP7 forum at begining of September. Can be used only on Zune 4.8 final.

you can use any MP3 editor to change the Genre to ringtone as well...
I use MP3Tag

very good these tips parabens.

Does this work on alerts as well? I.e. Change the genre to ALERT?

what about alerts guys i love here you have mail then a plan tone !!!!

Glitch for Changing Artist Name on HTC Sense Music Player?

I have two songs that I want to change the artist name to reflect a change in letter casing. At first, I had these two songs downloaded from the gtunes music downloader app, but after discovering that the files were 128kbps, I had deleted them, although I did change the file name a day or two before deleting it. I imported these songs later on, but with a higher bit rate. The album art, song title, and album title were tagged on each song, but the artist name did not change (All the changes just involved capitalizing the artist and song tile). The file name, however, is the same as it was when I deleted it. Since noticing this problem, I have used multiple tag editing apps from the Play Store, but the HTC Sense music player does not reflect the change, nor does other local music playback apps like doubleTwist.

I hope the image helps....just hoping to capitalize that first letter of the artist on the music player lol

Is one of the apps you've tried iTag? It almost always works for me.

I used iTag, DroID3Tagger, and AudioTagger (correct me on the name if I'm wrong). In all those apps, it appears capitalized. Even when I view the two files in Windows Explorer, it's how I want it to be. Still, it doesn't match up on the music player.

Try clearing the cache and data (unless you have playlists) of the music player. It's a long shot, but perhaps the changes you've made haven't come into effect yet?

I tried those options, but there's no luck. Still the same typing on both artists...my best hypothesis on this music player right now is that it
must have some kind of cache deep in the storage that won't let me change it

Notification Sound?

This may be a stupid question, but on the M8 I could add sounds into the notification folder to use for texts and such. Now, the 10 is not allowing it "read only" it says.
Also, no addition button similar to the ringtones.
Is there something I'm overlooking? Or for a simple sound file move am I going to have to root?
Sent from my HTC6545LVW using XDA-Developers mobile app

Create a folder anywhere (internal or external) named Notifications, and reboot.
To be clear, you don't have to reboot, but that's the fastest way for the phone to repopulate the notification list with the new sounds.

Wow that was simple. Thank you very much! I've always just put the file in system/media/audio/notificatons and it's worked before. Not this time.
Appreciate it!
Sent from my HTC6545LVW using XDA-Developers mobile app

I had no problems without root setting up custom notifications on the 10. just copied them over to the folder like you said. don't know why says read only, did you set it by accident in a explorer app?

Peace....
it still doesnt work for me....am I missing something?

No it surprised me too. I'm not sure what was going on. I did the recommendation above but dropped the file in the default Notifications folder instead of making a new one. Worked just fine then.

Thanks for the answer to my issue also. I found a few notification sounds and ringtones from days gone by and wanted to use them. All the best.
