Hi I am having a problem using ringtones that I downloaded from the microsoft website (the free ringtone packages). I tried following the instructions (connecting the phone to ActiveSync dragging the .wma files over to /Windows/Rings/) I can see the files using file commander but in Add a Ringtone it won't show up and in the phone settings it doesn't show up either. Also I looked at one of the ringtones in the drop-down list if Add Ring Tone (RecEnd.wav) and I tried searching for it on the computer in My Windows Mobile Based device and I couldn't find the file anywhere on the phone! There might be like a hidden folder that I can't see or something where I'm supposed to put it. Anyways if you have any ideas please help me!! I don't want to be stuck with using the standard ringtones. Here's my phone info if it helps:

Whats the correct link to downloading windows media player for my XDA, PLEASE? I just recently successfully ran S E ROM I seemed to have lost it and I decided to totally erase it from my XDA and desktop. Though I have other media player progs like DivX now, I still want to have the windows media player too....
My device info:
-Version 3.0.12039 (Build 11178)
-ROM Version 3.17.03 ENG
-ROM Date 05/15/03
-Radio Version 6.18.00
-Protocol version 324e4
-Model No PW10A1
As always your help input is highly appreciated...Thanks!
as far as i know then it's in the rom and cant be installed
are you sure that when you mean deleted you dont mean that
the shortcut to the program is gon ?
if you have a file in your windows dir called wmplayer.exe then you just deleted the shortcut and can start that exe file or make a new shortcut yourself
Thanks, it worked. Now I'm still trying out how to open the files I want to listen to or watch. When I click settings, it takes me to 3 folders non of which is helpful:
-Local Content (which contains nothing)
-Web Favorites (also contains nothing)
-Organize Playlists ( New, Rename and Delete)
I usually store media files on my SD Card, but I cant seem to navigate/access them from WMP.
Also, how do I create a link or icon to either Programs or the Today screen?
Thanks once again.
I think media player likes files to be in my documents folder either on pda or sd card.
when i enter the play list and make a play list and want to add something i press the green +
and i get a list called all content
and it conclude every wma and mp3 file on my device then i add those i want on my play list and it play them
and yes all my media is also on the sdcard
of cause in general i dont use wmp at all
i use winipaq the winamp for pocketpc i like it much more then wmp
I now have a select few programs i use with my XDA II (sprite, Informant etc etc) which i would like to incorporate into a rom image for when i hard reset my XDA II. I also want to remove all the 02 stuff as i use the phone in Spain.
ER2003edit can do this from what i can see, but i would like to get the exact rom image of what i have already as it works fine.
any links much appreciated.
PS is there a program to make the files i want to auto install into cabs ?

You can get the original extended ROM (that is on your XDA at the moment) from http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/xda2_upgrade_download.html
Open it in ER2003Edit and remove everything apart from:
Broadcast_WWE.sa.CAB
CameraRC132_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
OEM_WWE_04021801.CAB (might not need this, not sure)
Version_AKU1.sa.CAB
Everything else you can get rid of if you want, things like TaoJava might be useful though.
As far as getting the CAB files for any apps you want to install, that's easy. First, install the app from your PC to your Pocket PC. Then on your PC go to c:\program files\Microsoft Activesync\ and there should be a folder for every app you've ever installed. Copy the CAB file (or the CAB file with ARM in the name if theres more than one) into the ROM.
Remember to update the Config.txt file in the ROM after you've done all this.
thanks for the detailed reply, everything seems clear enough.
The only problem though is the rom version i have is different to the one posted on the web site, and would really like to stick to this version as it runs flawlessly. the rom i need is :
1.66.00WWE
02/20/04
1.10.00
1337.18
1.66.181
thanks
Help! I've been trying to change the vendor on my XDA II. I've downloaded the RUU_V1.1.OrangeUK_V3.66.... upgrade, copied the HimGetDeviceData to my mobile but the program won't run! I can't get the device info to change the vendor to Orange. Can anyone advise please?

ROM version: 1.72.00WWE
ROM date: 03/15/04
Radio version: 1.17.00
Protocol version: 1337.28
ExtROM version: 1.72.181
I got this program "HimaGetDeviceData.exe" V1.2.0.0 in my XDAII. When I execute the program, it did not give any respond to me (It suppose to create a "DeviceDatat.txt")......
Any idea to overcome this problem and to get the device data of my XDAII????
Thanks in advance
DeviceDatat.txt is probably in the \windows directory and not in the directory where you've started it

4 Execute HimaGetDeviceData.exe on your device. There will be no visible indication that it has run, but it will produce a file called DeviceData.txt in the Windows folder of the device.

Copy the generated file to your PC (via ActiveSync) and open withnotepad. Toy will have to maximise the window to see the detail.

Thanks for all your helps..........

This is an old fashioned Problem with the PocketPC 2002 ROMs. There is an fix from Paragon Software. You can get it there for free....
OR it´s fixed in the WM2003 ROMs.
You can cook your own at http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/

Hang on though - you have rom 3.17 which should have that fix built in.
My guess is that your mobile numbers aren't stored in the mobile number field within Contacts. Cut and paste them over and all should be well.

You'll find the fix here:
http://www.yorch.net/apps.htm
Its called Paragon Software SMS Name Fix
Or download the file directly from here:
http://www.yorch.net/downloads/SMS fix.zip

Problem may be that mobile numbers in contacts have to start +44 (in the UK) and drop the leading zero.
May also need to load them into SIM using SIM manager (not sure on this point!).
Hi there- I inherited an SX56- but can't seem to download new proggies to it! Not too sure if it has PC2002 or 2003, but i can tell you it has:
ROM Version 3.17.03 ENG
Radio: A.20.10
I tried using installing ActiveSync- but I guess I need a serial key or something.
Since I couldn't find a post on how to build with current updates- can someone reply or re-direct to a post that lists what I need to make this baby current so I can install some of the cool utilities for this PDA?
Thanks again!
PS: Im running XDA-developers SW on this baby!
activesync can be freely downloaded from ms's site
and require not serial
if it ask for code when you connect your pda it's the pda's
user set code it wants
ok- got the latest active sync- 4.5 build. I still can't seem to successfully run .msi files or .cab files to and from the sx56. I tried dropping the .cab files to different directories- since its probably looking for PPC2002 files as well to run the program. I also downloaded CNET framework v2.0.2...still can't seem to install programs onto the pocket PC
any ideas?
Cheers!
i think msi files was ment to run from the pc not the ppc
