Does anyone know where I can find some custom lock/unlock sounds? I want to use them with Widgetlocker, since the stock sounds suck...but I just don't know where I can find some solid sounds for this. I found some .ogg files, but I couldn't preview them on my computer, and my phone randomly won't play them either...
Dude, use a audio converter and VLC to preview them. I had to manually convert Metal Gear Solid sounds from wav to ogg
Well either way, I got those sounds to work but I didn't like them anyway. I just don't know where to look to get more sounds to choose from

hello all i got my phone today.
How can i put my own ringtones on it.
I am not sure of the file types i need or anything. I dont even know where to go to select what tone i want. please help
if you want to use ringtones for specific contacts (e.g. a sound will play and when you hear it you'll know it's from your friend joe) then you'll need third party software such as ringtonex (mtux). ain't free though; i forgot how much i paid for it but i've been using the app back when i started with my xda1. still using it up to now. like the ringtone i use for my boss is the pacman sound when he dies...
for ringtone types; wav files are the ones you need...however you can also use midi and wma if i remember. if your unit is on activesync with your pc; simply copy and paste the wav file you want into the xda's windows folder. this will allow the ringtone to be used by other apps such as alarms or sms notification. or you can also paste it in the window's "rings" folder where the phone will automatically recognize the file as being a ring tone option. then just go to settings for the phone and click on that file you want to use.
hope that helps.
thanx a million worked like a charm
hey its not finding wma files though
i read somewhere in the forum that you can use wma files as ringtones...just don't know how to do them and never really tried. not sure about this but most wma files i know are associated with mp3s as well. wma is a lower quality sound alternative to mp3s; i have wma files for songs and they range from 800-900kb as oposed to 3+ meg mp3 song files. so the way i see it (and i could be wrong about this) to use a wma file the xda would have to be able to get it from the memory or the storage card (?). but that would mean having a wma ring tone which is around 900kb in size...something that you don't really need coz eventually you will answer the phone after like 10 seconds. so no point in having the whole song as a ringtone really since you won't get to hear it to the end. that is if the other chaps in the forum are doing something different that is wayyyy easier than i really think it is
what i did was record bits of a song i have on storage; then use that as my ringtone. example; i have an mp3 of fernanda porto and i like the opening sequence. what i did was use my notes app; ran the song through media player and when the part i liked came i then recorded it. the file is in wav so it was easy to use it as a ringtone....
cheers
it need to be 2003 before it can use wma
they need to be put in windows\rings
you then add them with the program called add ringtones
in settings
ahh i dont have 2003, i was told 2003 is better not to have cause it messes up alot or something i dunno.
whats the best way to get ringtones that sound good. im using and mp3 for ringtone and wav for sms, but they both dont sound so great, how can i get one that sounds better like the ones the phone comes with, like edit them to make them louder/smaller size etc...?
save it in WMA format. You will get less of a delay with the phone. Also, just start out with a good quality file and clip it to suit your needs.

i use the vzw site for ringtones, if you have firefox you can search their ringtones, and download the actual "listen now" mp3 for free

right click, view source, find the actual .mp3 location and copy paste it into a browser?
myxertones.com from PIE is a very solid source. Nothing like 325kbps, but still decent.
You can always just put some mp3's on your phone and use HTC Audio Manager to make ringtones. In Audio Manager start to play the song you want to use and then left soft key then click use as ringtone (or something like that) then press trim and trim the song where you want. Then you have the option to save as default or to the ringtones folder.
Also something i found out messing with ringtones a while ago, if you get a program that changes the gain on mp3/wav files you can make the ringtones ALOT louder. You just have to find the right spot where the song will not distort.
I see when I open up TI that their is a ringtone trimmer, I have searched for it and it doesnt come up. I have tried accessing it and no dice, right now I have TI trying to "convert to user app" whatever that means. Has anyone found a way to use this, and why would htc/verizon put it on there and not have a way for us to access it?
The ringtone trimmer option is available under the stock music player, don't think it's accessible on it's own

Hmmm, how exactly do you access it there?
You can set a song as a ringtone, but can not cut it where you want it from there...
Through the music player:
Find the song/audio file you want, long press it, choose Set as Ringtone, and then (if the option appears) Trim Ringtone.
It looks like it will only give you the option to trim if the song is over a certain length. A 20 sec file didn't give me the option.
Currently rocking out to the sound of "Dovahkin! Dovahkin!" whenever my phone rings.

I do that, and only get the option of phone ringtone or contact ringtone.
Worked for me today. Didn't know it existed until I read this thread so thank you.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
BVK's instructions got me to it. Very cool feature, actually. I had seen the service a couple times when poking around but was wondering where it was hidden.
This must be an example of the things people like about sense!
The built in music player that opens up in the center of the screen when you click a random music file.. I haven't the slightest idea what the name of that app is. It displays one of my personal images on the left side of the player. Does anyone know if this player has some sort of settings menu or if there is a way to change that image on the left? Thanks in advance. I appreciate it.
Hmm nobody knows this? lol
I'm pretty sure you're unable to change any settings via the "Music" that comes with the Rezound. It already has implemented the Beats Audio Equalizer that they think is best. If you want to adjust the settings to your own sound, you can always get winamp or poweramp.
Ok. Thanks man. What about that pic that it uses? It was using one of my random photos in my. Downloads folder. The photo never seems to change and really, id like to see something else besides that photo lol.. I know i can delete it.. But thats besides the point. Perhaps ill just look for another music app.

I ported a lot of music from my iTunes library to this phone, and used to have a lot of artist where I would just have one song, and so the album would be called Other. Noticed this phone hates that and that I had to go rename all those songs to a different album cause it would just start putting random pictures with random songs.

Just search on the play store for ogg converter and u can convert any sounds u want to ogg
I don't know if this is the correct way but when I was playing around with boot up sounds on my S2 I had a load of MP3s I wanted to try out as boot sounds so I just used a file explorer (root explorer on my phone, selected the MP3 and renamed it, replacing .MP3 with .OGG, simple!
I didn't use any convertor or anything and the phone recognized it as a .OGG sound file
I now have the Playstation 2 start up sound when my phone boots, pure awesomeness!
