On the default WM2003 that came with the iMate, i used to copy any *.wma file to my pda, hold click in file explorer and set as ringtone, but after I did the upgrade to WM2003SE this option is gone. Any ideas how to put a wma music file as ringtone.
Thanks
Put it in the windows/rings directory.
Then just go to the normal sounds & Notifications section in settings. Have a look in there and you will see the option for incoming calls.

I've been trying to find a way of replacing the system sounds on the XDA.
I've looked around the registry but am unable to find any keys that look like they might help. Anyone any ideas :idea: After a while the start menu pops and clicks get a bit boring!!
take a look through the pocket pc's windows folder, I recently got fed up with the default sms recieved sound, and discovered that they are in there as wav files.
If you copy in a wav file into the relevant folder, it will become available from the "Sounds & Notification" list.
As you are wanting to change the system "pops" & clicks, in theory, you could just find the wav file, rename it to "popold.wav" and rename your desired new sound to the sound of the original.
Just an idea... let us know if it works
That almost worked, unfortunatly you can't rename system files held in the rom! Unless someone knows how?
You can't rename them, but you can replace them, when you delete the new file and reboot, your old (ROM stored) file should come back
At least this applied for iPAQ 5450... try first
Still no luck
I've changed every other sound on the system but those start menu ones just will not budge! There must be something, somewhere in the registry that can be altered, I'll keep bigging at it!
Maybe i can help here...
If you want to chance every sound file to your bidding without going trough any pocket pc menu's or wasting space, do the following
insert your xda, dont fill in anything with partnership from active sync (just leave it asking). Copy every wav file from the windows dir to your pc in a wav1 dir. make a wav2 dir with the ones you want to use.
now replace the wav's on your pc with the ones you like. Rename them exactly like they are. (best to do is selecting a wav, press f2(rename) and then ctrl+c) then select your new wav file from wav dir2 and f2(rename) and ctrl+v that file.
once you have done renaming to your likeness. (**tip** rename roaring gitar to a 1kb file, saves up 42kb
select all new renamed wav files with copy
and go to explorer and your pocketpc windows dir.
select past
and awnser yes to all
works for me
I have tried inserting my own file into the alerts/ringtone directory (Windows/rings) and they do not show up when I try to change it on my Sprint Touch Pro. I have tried wav, and wma as both file types are present in the directory. Any ideas?

Have you tried <My Documents\My Ringtones>? What about saving them as MP3? Stock ROM? How big are these files?
Copy them and then paste into the windows folder. Then they appear as the others do when you select a ringtone as normal. If you look through the windows folder you'll notice the factory ringtones.

That's just because everything goes to <\Windows> during a ROM flash. PROVXML's should move some of the Factory rings to <\Windows\Rings>, but it depends on provider and ROM version. Most custom ROMS have the ringtone packages move the main ringtones to the Rings folder.
WM should search all the mentioned folders for Tones:
<\Windows>
<\Windows\Rings>
<\My Documents\My Ringtones>
<\Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones>
There might be more, but I know for sure these 4 places work.
Thanks for the replies guys. The provider is sprint on a stock rom. Tried all 4 locations to no avail, the file is only 153K. Haven't tried it as mp3 yet gonna have to convert it. I don't know what the deal is I didn't have any problems on my last phone (elf) but my last phone didn't have the rings folder it just dumped everything into the windows folder.
Ok mp3 worked, weird. Anywho.... thanks guys appreciate the input.
hi all,
I would like to know to can I change the "system ringtone" ? I 've set to max. volume level in Settings\Sound\Volume, but it is still nothing being played. which ogg file is the default one? Is it the sherbet.ogg that i found in media/audio/notifications folder by using Root Explorer?
I want to know this because my GS2 re-boot occasionally. Most of cases are before it re-boot, I can hear the sherbet.ogg rings up periodically. After 2 or 3 times of the strange sound, my GS2 will be re-boot.
So, I want to change the "system ringtone" and record a log file by aLotcat if I hear it again.
Thanks for your help.
On your pc:
Make a system>media>audio>ringtones folder nest.
Copy whatever ringtone into the last folder.
Connect phone via USB.
Copy/paste onto sd card.
No idea about the log file.
I know how to associate ringtones with contacts.
I want to rename ringtones with the name of the contact so they are easier to find by file name.after flashing a ROM
The problem is that changing the file name doesn't always change the name of the ringtone. Or editing the title in the text file breaks the ringtone so it won't play.
For example:
"Orion" ring tone file can be renamed "Friend1", and will show up in file managers as Friend1. But under Sound/Select Ringtones, it will still show up as Orion. Opening the file in Text Editor and changing the title will break the ringtone.
Solution?
Are you renaming the file name through the phone or on a pc? Might make a difference. Not sure though.

I probably renamed them on a PC, then transferred the folder to the phone sdcard. My plan is to then replace the systen/media/audio/ringtones folder with one that avoids the ringtones I don't like, and only includes options I like.
That works, but doesn't allow my new names to show up under ringtone selection lists. The old name then appears, twice if I also keep the old file with the original ringtone name.
In a text editor, I can change the "title" inside the text of the file, but that breaks the ringtone.
2 Ringtones are exceptions, and don't include 'titles" in the text file. They don't revert, but show up as I have renamed them.

On a computer in a media player, you should be able to "edit tag info" or something similar. that is where you add in the track name, artist, album info and all of a MP3.
**EDIT**
Easier way, on a Windows machine you can just right click the file and select properties, then the details tab, change it there.
If the files are edited properly, they will work, and show up properly. The "text edit" method just broke the files so they wouldn't play. But an MP3 tag editor which can also handle .ogg files will allow the title to be changed and whatever else is needed in there to make it work.
So the solution for me is:
1. Copy the ringtone you want.
2. Rename the file with a R/W capable root explorer, or do it on a PC.
3. Retag with a tag editor to change the Title in the tag if needed, so it shows up properly in the Ringtone selection screens
4. Place the file in the right place with a root explorer, in the case of a Verizon Note 2, the system place is system/media/audio/ringtones
5. I also rename the original ringtones folder, and replace it with one that has all of the ringtones I want, without the ones I don't.
Just updated to EMUI 10. on my Honor 8X. I cant see the ringtones which I had on my sd card. I could use custom ring tones. I think the directory has changed. I have tried putting the ringtone folder into Sounds fiolder, no joy, I placed my ringtone folder into the music folder. My ring tones do not appear. How do I fix this? Same goes for notifications. Any help and advice with this will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Have you tried installing a 3rd party file manager like MiX Explorer or Solid Explorer? With one or more installed when I change a ringtone/notification tone I get a 'Choose an Action' dialogue from which I pick one of these apps then navigate to the ringtone/notification tone. Just a thought.
No, I want to be able to select ringtones straight from the setting menu. Think it's something to do with the directory folder.. Tried a few different folders but it's still the same
