I am new to this world, buy 710 to my girl as a gift. Now she wants a specific ringtone. But need Zune (it refuse to install) Windows Embedded S 7, downloaded 2 times and always get error.
So I was wondering if is there a way to set the ringtone on the go, for example in Android that is the world I know the most, you can set it, just need a file explorer then copy the file to the folder Ringtone in your SD Card, and viola you got to ringtones and there is the file you just copied. Any similar in Windows 7.8?.
Thanks for any help you can bring me. :good:

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
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.
Thanks Dingo, but why cant i do it like I used to, by right click ??????

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.
The files in the attachment are OGG file types ... and the hero does not recognize them .. how can we get these sounds compatible on the Hero?

What do you mean, the Hero doesn't recognize them? Where did you copy them exactly? Do you mean they don't show up when you go to select your ringtone? If so, you need to make sure the ogg files are in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ (or /system/media/audio/notifications/ depending on what files you're dealing with.) You can put them there with
Code:
adb push file.ogg /system/media/audio/ringtones/
or is it a different problem? If the ogg's are on your SD card, can you play them in the Music app? Are there any error messages you can share with us?
i placed the files in their necessary folders, ringers/alarms/notificatios
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
if i open on sdcard and play on phone.. they play fine ... but when i go to a contact and go to select a ringtone .. the file is not showing ... but other ringtones i put in that folder show ....

I've got them up and running, did you already resolve this, itouch?
No, they still don't show up when I try I'm pick ringtones for someone yet they play when I am listening to music on my phone , so phone recognizes them at that time but not when o am looking for them. And I know if I pit a "." In front of folder name it will hide the music player from playing them but it also hides from everything on phone.
Odd, I put the same files in the same folders and it works fine here. The Audio Manager ignores those folders, so it shouldn't be necessary to hide them.
Regarding wallpapers, they should be placed in sdcard/media/resources/wallpapers
i am running fresh ROM .7 ... not sure if that has something to do with it
but my media player is playing the ogg files ... and they are not showing up when i want to pick one of them for ringtones.. it is like it is setup backwards...
from what u are saying is that the media player should be ignoring those files automatically and they should show up when i pick alarm/notification and ringtone
**********************************************************************************************************
would u believe what the problem was
my folders had capital letters ... Ringtones instead of ringtones...
dam i didnt know it was case sensitive ...
thanks guys for assisting on this ...
Haha, it's always the smallest little detail Glad you got it working.
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
