Does anyone know if it is possible to put the sounds and ringtones for WM6 into WM5??
If so, can someone provide a link where to get them. I have tried to google for it but found nothing..

Has already been posted a while a go.
Have just got my hands on an XDA 11i and I'm disappointed I don't seem to be able to use my own choice of ringtone for message alerts, or maybe I can and I'm just too stupid to work it out ! I think its called 'old dude syndrome' Can anybody help ?
Haven't been able to test this but if its the same as my Trinity they need to be wav files and in the windows folder.

Try this cab. Hope will help you. but< this is only for phone ring tone> for message you have to convert from mp3 TO WAVE file. and you need to put in the windows folders.
is there any possibility to have, near missed sms/mail/call icons, also a "sign" that something is happening in windows live? (I mean, a message is arrived)
thx in advance!!!

in one simple answer...no
Anyone know the filename and loacation of the SMS sent notification sound, Iv had the same sound for the last 3 phone's and I think its time for a change!
Can it be changed?
where is its location?
do I have to do anything to the registery or just change the filename?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
I just figured out how to change the notification sound for the people who get it!
First download totalcmd "this allows you to replace files in use in the windows dir"
get your .wav or .wma file.. call it notify.wav (sometimes notify.wma)
Use totalcmd to replace the one in the windows directory with the one you created!
Cant belive it was that simple

Sorry misread your problem......
All you have to do is copy and paste the sound file you want into your windows folder (root) on you internal storage then go settings>sounds click notifications then hit drop down box until sms received etc then click on sound drop down find your sound file and click whatever you want it to do vibrate flash etc the click ok.......and as Gordon Ramsey says done
thx I was wondering why it didn't show my music files when I changed the sms sound. any restrictions to the format (mp3, wma, ...)?
So doesnt anyone know how to do this?
They are in the Windows folder, restricted to wma.

You have missread like eveyone else! im looking for the tone that plays when you SEND an SMS not when you get an sms
Mine doesn't make any sound when I send an SMS.
I wish it did, or at least give some notification that the message has been sent.
My TyTNII made a sound and displayed an on screen notification. The Leo seems to do neither.

I get both and I like having the notification I just want to change the sound because after 4 years of a really loud "duduling" it gets a little annoying
I did have a rom once on my Kaiser that had a diffrent sound but cant find how to change it anywhere!!!
Did you do anything to set up these notifications, or was it like that 'out of the box'?
I would really like to get them working on mine but failed so far. I've tried Advanced config and managed to get one notification, but since then nothing
Cheers
You get a sound when you SEND a SMS??
As above I get nothing what so ever, when I first got the phone I sent the same message 3 time before I realised it had actually sent!! lol
Another annoying 'feature'......

Does your Leo have an O2 branded ROM?
I wonder if they tweaked the notification bit before they released it.
I got mine SIM free, so it's a vanilla HTC ROM.
Mines unbranded SIM free, so shouldnt be tampered with!

I'll have a dig around the registry and see if I can find anything relevant.
Also trying to create a new folder in SMS. Again easy on my TyTNII but not so easy on the Leo.
I'm not so keen on the HTC messaging app so far.
If you want a delivery report...
Go into ALL MESSAGES when on the SMS tab , then MENU > SETTINGS > OPTIONS and check the box "Request Delivery Report".
Yeah but then every other message in your inbox is a DR!!!
We want a sent confirmation sound/pop up, and I want DR's that dont require opening, and have their own folder........... like a Nokia for example.
Wasn't this a Registry hack on the other WM phones. I remember having to check a box in a config app to get my HD to do this.

Yeah it was a registry setting.
If I remember correctly it was;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg
I have that set, but the Leo uses the HTC messaging app, so it doesn't work...
it works however if you disable htc messaging app. thanks for the tip.
i tried copying the mp3 file to the rings folder in windows. it worked for the phone ring signal but it doesn't seem to for the sms alerts. it just doesn't show up in the menu in sense ui to change it. any ideas on how i could implement this? is there a winmo setting or reg hack? this is my first winmo phone so i don't have very deep knowledge base of the os. any help?

I use mp3 for ringtones and notification sounds with no problem, but I put mine on the device in the My Documents folder. I don't know if that will help, but it's worked for me on my last 3 WM devices.

It'll show up if you dump it straight into the windows folder, not the rings folder, just the root windows folder
