hey guys i am rooted with s-on and hboot 1.58 with digital highs miui 2.9.21 and i seem to have trouble finding a way to change the sound that triggers when the screen is touched i went to system/media/audio/ui and i changed the effecttick.ogg to an mp3 and then i changed the file extension to ogg and when i click on the file it plays .. but when i reboot. it has no sound at all .. any help?

Try converting the MP3 to an OGG, otherwise you'd have to change an xml to call to the MP3, because it looks for the OGG. Changing a file extension doesn't always change the file type

ok i changed it and it WORKS!!!!!!!!! just remember to change permissions with root explorer or "explorer" AHHHHHHH imma change EVERYTHING!!!

Now you can use your mp3 as ring tonr just install the cab file in your xda and from the explorer long press in the mp3 tone and choose it as ringtone i hope you like it.
.
where's the file broad??
,
it's okay now..sorry
not working
it is not working, after install the file, i still cannot select the mp3 as rington in settings, even put in the ring folder still not shown in phone rings
tried it too but it didn't work... maybe OS thing?
No, it works only on Windows Media 10. If you Upgrade to 2.20 CHS Rom you'll have it!
Thanks eFiend
it works for me; doesn't use / need wmp10. what you do is go to file explorer, if the mp3 file you want is in the storage card then go there. once you see the file; put your stylus on it for like 2-3 seconds. a small menu should appear; the last option in the menu says "set as ringtone" or something like that. if you click on this option; wait for like 3-5 seconds as the app copies the mp3 file and puts it on the rings folder in windows. from there; if you go to phone settings you'll see that the mp3 file you wanted is now the ringtone for the phone.
the only disadvantage i see is that if you have a nice mp3 file that's more than 3mb in size; then that's the same file which will appear in your rings folder. this could eat up some memory. and since you'll eventually answer the phone (and not wait for the whole song to finish) then you may want to consider converting the bitrate of the mp3 file to be lower. i use fernanda porto's tudo de bom (from chill brazil...awesome!) and it's 4.5mb in size...the same size is in my rings folder...
ITS DOESNT WORK...!
I HAVE INSTALLED THE FILE CAB IN MY DEVICE BUT I GOT NOTHING MENU FOR SET MP3 RING TONE IN PROGRAMS MENU...
CAN ANY BODY HELP ME ...?

Been waiting for this...!!!
Neat and Cool....
Else all my ringtones are wave files.. it is eating a huge chunk of space...
Thanks for sharing!
Tried that - still don't work..
Hi there,
I tried holding the stylus on the mp3 file, but it does not give "set as ringtone" menu. On a WAV file, however, it does.
Does this program require WM2003SE?
mp3 as ringtone
Hi!
I managed to install the cab and also choose an mp3 song as tone, in the context menu there is "set as ringtone", however, it didn't trigger the mp3 song that i picked, does this happen to you?

I realised it doesn't work !
coz i forgotten to remove the wave file... now i re-set the mp3 as ringtone upon holding the stylus for 2-3 seconds... i called my number.. it defaulted to bass(comes with set).Tried other mp3... still the same..
Hi Maxtro.. Nice to see you're on same country / network as me! too bad the app doesn't work. :?
hmmmm, that's strange. maybe it depends on the rom versions? anyway; i'm sending you some screen shots just to show you how it goes. just follow screens1-5..as you can see the last option allows you to use the mp3 file as a ringtone...
Not working mate ... set as ring tone menu is available but don't change anything ... mp3 file is not being copied to windows/rings/ folder ... and not shown @ the ring tones set up ...
yeah man,nice prog !!!!it works on my xda2
I tried everything i could think off but i coldnt set mp3 for alarm

You don't need 3rd party software for this. The native alarm app will play your mp3 files.
There is a file-size restriction, but I don't know what it is. I remember getting a file of mine to below 3MB before it would list it. Try that.
They need to be in the windows folder on your phone. You do not have a windows folder on the storage card (you certainly shouldn't have, anyway!)
Alarm Rings
johncmolyneux,
Tried your suggestion but it did'nt work. Brought the file down to 186 kb but did'nt show up.
anymore?
gr fred
Must admit I'm interested in this too and have been working away for the past few days trying to find a solution.
So far all the files I have are converted to wma, have been reduced in size to match some of the other ringtone files in windows, have been named using the same naming convention as the windows mobile ringtones, have been checked to make sure that the properties of the files are identical, have been copied into the windows folder and /or the ringtones folder and.......
Still can't get this to work.
If anyone has been successful doing this please share your method exactly with us.
Cheers

For alarms, it has to be a WAV file, in the Windows folder of device memory (not storage card).
Very detrimental to the memory space, I know....so I only have 1 custom alarm tone. Size wise I have a 3.5mb file, and it works fine. No need to care about naming conventions.
This is old...but still relevant. Iirc mp3 doesn't work as alarm file.
All you need to do is copy the mp3 file to your Windows folder and then set that as your reminder. Set your alarm sound as something short and the reminder will play as your alarm.
you need to convert ur mp3 to wav n place them in the /windows folder of ur phone memory....i didnt get any size of length specific issues, but hey i wasnt specifically looking for one.
I didn't need to convert it, I just copied the mp3 to the windows folder and it worked no problem.

Yes...this is a workaround, and saves putting a WAV file into Windows directory.
so far i tried:
1. putting mp3 in windows directory - didnt work
2. renaming mp3 to wav - didn't work
3. converting the mp3 from 192kbps to 128kbps - didn't work
4. converting mp3 to wav - works but file is huge
5. converting mp3 to wma - didn't work
6. renaming wma to wav - works like a charm
so conclusion - convert your mp3 to wma, rename to wav and put in windows directory.

i'm guessing there is a way to make mp3s work maybe a specific format bitrate etc. but since it's not determined yet mp3>>wma>>wav is as easier a solution as any
Converted mp3 to wma. File size 681KB. Renamed to wav and copied it into the Windows directory (not the "Rings" subfolder but the Windows root folder) and finally showed in the alarm sounds list but I'm unable to select it it choose "default" sound then. May be its too large.
I have no problems using any MP3/WMA ringtone by putting them in \My Documents\My Ringtones.
And if that matters, I always use mono instead of stereo (2 channels aren't exactly useful for one speaker).
EDIT: Just confirming WMA works in the My Ringtones folder here; wasn't sure about this. I use a 243 KB file of about 40 seconds (ring is 30 seconds anyway).
If you want to use a custom sound, i.e for SMS/Email received, connection established or any other notification, you'll need to make a WMA or WAV file and drop it in \Windows\.
EDIT2: ...and I'm using Dutty's rom (WM 6.5).
The HTC alarm aplication(cover up the ugly windows version thingy) doesnt allow you to select MP3s. not sure why.
Open the windows mobile alarm app and you can select mp3s if they are in your my documents folder . Might need WM 6.5.3 though.
Wierdly when you select it in the windows alarm app, it shows the file in the HTC app.
Again, all my custom sounds are in mp3 format dropped into \Windows\ and I have no problems applying them. I'm just using the standard ROM Version 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE.

Because you're using the reminder workaround, not actually changing the alarm sound.....it's different from what the rest are trying to do.
I see what you're saying, but it's not just the alarm. All my sounds, ringtone/sms/email are all in mp3 format.
Finally after converting it to wav (not just renaming wma to wav) and placing it in windows folder it worked. Unfortunately the file is 2.8MB, no matter it's a mono
Can some one kindly explain tome how to get my music file
associations back to standard please.
After downloading Coreplayer I noticed all my music files
had converted to Coreplayer association with the corresponding
CP icons in my file explorer,I would like to change this back.
Cheers for any help you can offer....
Open up core player, hit the menu or options button and you can get to tools then pages and you can find file associations just uncheck mp3, not the best description because i dont use it any more sorry, but its something like that

Cheers bud,I've done that,unchecked a few things and it seems the
WMA files I've got have reverted back OK to
Windows Media Player and have the right icon,but all my MP3's have the
Windows icon you usually get with programs and aren't selectable to play
from File explorer,if I select a track it just drops back to the home screen.
Music tracks are still selectable from HTC Player....
I'm at a brick wall at the moment,don't know what to try next ?
have you tried a soft reset?? and all so tried opening a track through windows media player that way it might pick them up
Yep tried that and updating my WM library,everything plays OK
but I still have this strange icon issue in File Explorer and
of course I can't select them to play from within there...
Seems like I will have to delete all the music and re-load them again,
all my ringtones and notification tones have stopped working.
Strange that they will all still play in hTC music player,but
are not selectable via File Explorer.
I would have liked a definitive answer to how to cure this,but
hey ho something to do on a rainy Sunday removing all my music files.
I ditched Coreplayer,not only did it cause this issue by associating all my
MP3's to itself,I found it quite irritating to use.
Well...deleted everything and uploaded all music files from my laptop again,
still no joy,I really need some more advice...
All my music files are still showing as Windows files with no music association...
please someone help !!
I can't get any of my music files to select as a ringtone,I missed several calls,texts and emails...
for the ringtone try dropping it into device-app data-sounds, i have no music on my phone, but i put ringtones there cause ms instructed me to do so, only problem is ringtone showed up in player and is ur music in ms format - wma i believe - i do not use i got 1.5 gb songs ipod format hope it helps
i decided to try and answer here instead of hd2 place
I have replied to your issue in another forum. Try using Resco File Explorer or Total Commander to set the file association back to wmplayer.exe.
Thanx Web,
but the issue isnt where the files are stored,they do already show up in my
selection of available ringtones and notification sounds (I had already been using them,so they are correctly placed in the phones folders.
The problem is if I click on one to hear it before deciding to select it for
shall we say my main ringtone nothing happens due to it
not having the correct file type....
I have selected 'Opens with' as WMP and they will open up from File Explorer
and play perfectly OK
and also in HTC player,but the file type is showing as 'unknown type'
instead of the generic HTC music icon it should have....
Hope that makes it clearer ?
OK I tried your suggestion Web and ringtones work now... thank fook for that cheers...
although they appear as more than one copy of each in the
selection folder now,this isnt a problem as I know to select the top
version of each to my alotted ring tones and can just delete the
other copies from where I have them stored.
So everything plays as it should now,it's just the icons that
are wrong.
thanks markt77 - appreciate the input - i try - and i am learning good knowledge from u and the other folks over there - boy it is sometimes really hard to get a response at xda when u request answers
but
it's the most innovative forum on the planet
Anyone knows what ogg sound is this?
I found it at Korean drama, Love Rain (starring SNSD Yoona & Jang Geun Seuk).. I know their phones isn't SGS2 (seems like Galaxy Note to me), but I want to use the touch sound for my SGS2.. I can't find the original ogg sound

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!

Thats strange, but hey if it worked then all good
I renamed PowerOn.ogg in system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg and added my own PowerOn.ogg and set permissions
it flat out ignored it and played the old sound file anyway. so I am guessing there is "another" set of sound files somewhere else and its not using the defaults in system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg
where might I find them?
OK I found it.
its the PowerOn.ogg in system/media/audio/ui/XAS
replace that one and your good to go Don't forget to set permissions.
PowerOff.ogg is just in system/media/audio/ui/
I am converting my sound files to 160kbps mono 44khz ogg and it seems to like that just fine.
I have attached the files if anyone wants to use them. it won't let me attach ogg files so I rar'd them up.
