q- how can i change sms ring tones "special"
Open the app, go into settings, change the notification tone
(Should be in Q&A)
i see but i can't select my special ring tones. How can i use my ring tones
Hi,
Create a folder named Notifications, in /sdcard/Notfications (from a file explorer or from a PC just create the folder at the root of the sdcard) and put your sound inside it. It's the same thing for Alarms and Ringtones.
Or if you are rooted you can also go to /system/media/audio/notifications and put your soud here, don't forget to set the corect permissions for the new files. But here it's less easy.

If you want to give certain contacts a specific ringtone you can download Handscent from the Playstore which allows you to apply ringtones to individual contacts

You have to put your mp3 in Windows root folder, not in Rings subfolder. Cheers!

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 use to use root explorer to move special ringtones into the notification sounds. Since we don't have a sticky recovery the ringtones are not staying in that folder after a restart, is there anyway to push ringtone files through adb into specific folders that are read only?
I can't help with commands to force it into that folder, but I do know a way you can get them to show up as options for the notifications sound.
Create a folder named "media" on the root directory of the SD card. Inside of that folder, create one named "audio". Create a folder inside of audio, named "notifications". Place any mp3 files you want to use as notification sounds in this folder, and they will appear as options.
So thats:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications/song.mp3
Hope this helps!

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"
i was wondering is it possible to do so because ihavent been able to find away to do it noir have i found anything on google that talks about it been trying get help with this all night someone plzzzzzz HELP! i dont want to go back to winmo just because i cant have text msg ringtones....
What I did to change mine was,
1 convert the file to .wma format
2 rename the file to Alert-05 (or 01 ,02 etc) (it needs to be Alert-## otherwise it won't be found it settings)
3 copy it to the windows directory using touchXplorer
4 select it using settings ...
there must be a better way but it worked for me, hope it works for you.
As neilarmes said.
Think that this is the only way to get custom alert tones and does work for custom ringtones as well. You have to bear in mind that when you rename the .wma file and move it using touchXplorer, it will overwrite an existing WP7 alert tone as you I don't think you can add extra tones.
Using the above method you can however add mp3 files to your ringtones folder to have custom ringtones. Would just advise not to have too much music synced to your device as the file names in the Zune folder don't immediately lead you to the file you're after.

Note about ringtones...all ended up doing is copying my custom ring tones (in mp3 format) using Zune as if they were music transfers. After syncing, go into the My Documents\Zune folder, I believe, and using TouchXplorer copy your ringtones to the My Documents\My Ringtones folder. After some lag in time, your customer ringtones will appear in your selection list. No conversion to WMA needed for ringtones.
As for the SMS sounds, I was about to try converting my mp3 notification files into WMA then renaming it Alert-11 through whatever, the copying it to the \Windows directory. Alert-01 thru 10 are already present. Going to see if naming the file other than Alert-xx.wma will work as well.
How do make the tones useable on the text messages and other notifications. Thanks

I jsut tried "Alert-VM" and "Alert-TXT" but no dice. Also tried Alert-11 and Alert-12 to no avail. Time to rename the default guys and overwrite w/ the new ones!
Where do i go to add Notifications tones on HD2-WP7
PLZ help
Im trying to edit the registry to enable custom sms tones etc. right now... I think this is the only way to do it currently.
Using the registry editor I found HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LocalizedNameMap
this is where all the alerts and alarms are set up. However the reg edit doesnt allow to change value name which points to the file name...
Got to http://touchxperience.com/ and there is a few tools you can download, but i use there advanced config tool. Have a look and see.
I read somewhere that you could sync files to the device using Zune and then move them using touchxplorer. I believe that you have to rename wma files and then overwrite the existing notification sounds in windows directory.
