The only solution for a random ringtone now is Random Ringtones, MortScript by oblyvaeon. I made a simple application to do just that - randomize your ringtone. It scans your storage card (or any other location you specify) for music files and every time after an incoming call your ringtone will become one of those. Unlike the mentioned script, it does not require to be running all the time, so there is zero CPU and memory usage.
Features of version 1.2.1:
Select many folders to get ringtones from
Exclude some ringtones you don't like in those folders
Download
The program requires Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5. If your device is complaining about wrong .NET version or missing assemblies, [re]install it first. Install only from the site mentioned above, because other packages have been reported as broken.
If something doesn't work, install the test version first and report what happens.
The program is licensed as GNU GPL v3 (free as in freedom), source code is available.
Seems a good idea; in effect what we have here is a ringtone randomiser.
Will try it out and give you some feedback.

This is what I was looking for... in two ways.
a) For a long time I wanted a random ringtone.
b) And recently I want to know how to make apps for WM5 or 6. I know basic programming and i learn easily, i'm interested in making some apps, but how? what tools do you use? Could you explain? Could yoy PM me or email me? or here?
Regards.
.NET and C# is it, and the APIs used are Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status (for monitoring incoming calls) and basic registry manipulation. I can release the source excerpts or the whole code later, once I clean everything up.

That's all I need thanks.
Well while i'm here, do you know a site or thread which has basic instructions about making a "hello world" app for PPC? Just to get me started.
I don't want to mess your thread, I'll post a new one for this.
Thanks!
This works great, and its only 8kb! Thanks a lot, I've wanted something like this for a while.
Updated it, see first post.
not work
it's a great idea but not work. i reset my htc 3300, install compac netframewor 3.5 and then install the program. the first time, it work but when i change the path and i put autorun the program crash.
i apologise for my english
Can you please post the crash details? A screenshot, or just the error message text.
description
in my first configuration i put 2 songs in the folder "\Tarjeta de almacenamiento\songs\" of the system.
in my second configuration i put 2 songs in the folder "\temp\" of the system.
thanks
Hi, i installed to Storage Card, and got this error:
File or assembly name
'System.Windows.Forms,
Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=969DB8053D3322AC',
or one of its dependencies, was not
found.
Cheers
-edit- just tried installing to device instead, same error.
sigc, I will try myself and post back. But you must not select any other folder than WM sees already (SD root is OK, but not sub-folders).
mugglescuop, install NET CF 3.5. In the future, i might rewrite the program without that dependency, but right now it's like that.
Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but how hard would it be to make this program recoginze a subfolder on the storage card instead of just the root? There's already so many other things I must put in the root (all my themes and sms tones etc.) it would be ten times worse if I moved all my ringtones in here too. Especially since many of them have the same names as my SMS tones, just longer versions.

Agreed.
AthenaGirl, can you select those tones you have in a subfolder as your ringtone in Settings-Phone?

i have to have my ringtones in '//windows/rings' usually
To make it clear:
There are several folders Windows Mobile searches ringtones for in. These (usually) are:
\Windows\Rings
\Storage Card\
\Storage Card\My Documents\
Maybe I'm missing something.
As stated in the first post, the program does not copy any files. Therefore, do not put them where you don't see them yourself when selecting ringtone the usual way.
In the next version, you'll be just presented with a choice of where to choose random ringtones from.
oh right ok cheers
Still downloading NET CF 3.5... taking a while on a GRPS connection
sigc, your problem should be fixed now, download the new version.
I keep all mine in \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones and they show up in the settings. In playing with this just now I discovered my SMS tones still appear if I move them from the root of the card to My Documents. You all probably knew this already but I somehow missed it. This cleans up my root a good bit. Now if I could only move those tsk files...
Sorry if this was asked already, but was wondering if anyone knows how to put the nexus one sounds and notifications on the sprint hero. I'm looking to put notifications, alarms and ringtones from the nexus 1 on to the hero as I got acustom to them on the darchstar 2.1 ROM. Unfortunately I had to flash to a 1.5 custom ROM as I had a hard time dealing with the bugs in the 2.1 ROM.
If anyone could up load these files and post a tutorial on how and were to push them onto the phone would be greatly appreciated.

The sound files are inside the ROM zip itself. On you PC open the ROM > system > media > audio. In there you'll find notifications and ringtones folders, just unzip the ones you want and copy them to your phone.

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for.
Hi
I've been reading all that i've could find about no ringtones etc. when running android and it doesnt help copying in the media folder with the tones into the sd card or android root.
Ive tried 8 different android builds now and only one with working ringtones but then wifi, 3g and a lot of other stuff didnt work..
So - what can i try to do to get the tones to work?
Its a unbranded hd2 (danish) with Energy Cookie Rom (i'll try the latest energy rom now) and the radio is 2.50.12
Another thing ive thought about is, why can't i boot android when im using my "big" battery?
Hey man, i had the same issue, app store and download ringtones.
I also downloaded Notification sounds for email etc.

Tried that to, what did you download?
I had same issue.,I just downloaded android yesterday night.,.,went to Zedge (in marketplace) downloaded ringtones and sms/notification sounds to my phone.,.,after download you get the option to "set" it (while still in zedge)once you click on that you can send it to either be ringtone or notification sound. Hope this helps
All is very simply! Just copy folder named "media" from "Android" (with all included folders) to the SD card's root. Reboot. That is.
I tried bangsters 1.3 last night which has Zedge pre-installed - works .
Thanks for your inputs.
I did try copy in the media lib to root and reboot, didnt help anything.
Still can't figure out why i can't boot android when using 2600mAh..
ok i was able to get my Samsung Focus unlocked using Windowbreak i tried installing the old XAPs i used to have in the NoDo Dev unlocked state of my phone, ChevronWP7 Ringtone Manager installed but the Ringtones dont appear on the Settings>ringtones+sounds menu
so does the ringtone manager no longer work in WP7.5 and only the 40sec/1mb custom ringtone the only ones we can use?
Mango natively supports custom ringtones.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/start/whats-new-in-windows-phone.aspx
I just used the ringtone installer , so yes it still works 7720, however theres easier ways available now!
As the title says, I'd like to use my custom ringtones, but since the VZW Edge + hasn't been rooted yet my question is, can it be done?
I'd like to insert them (ringtones) into the system ringtones library.
Thanks for your help!
Ok for those interested, I found the answer on my own. By using RingDroid, I re-created my ringtones & notifications and they show up in the stock tones so all is good!
