Hi all,
I've upgraded my O2 XDA II ROM to T-MOBILE 1.60.36 WWE.
In the control panel, I am able to see the "Add Ring Tone" applet, which copies midi files to the \windows\rings directory. However I am unable to see the list of MIDI in the "sounds & notifications" dialog for the Phone: Incoming call event
Only WAV and WMA files are listed. I am able to play the MIDI files from the "Add Ring Tone" applet, but they somehow don't appear in the list as a ringtone selection.
the extended ROM that I used has the file MIDI56.sa.CAB. I have tried to overwrite this with the original O2 Extended ROM midi plug-in (i.e. MIDI.sa.CAB). Both sounded a little different. MIDI56sa.CAB is softer, after overwriting it with the existing O2 one: MIDI.sa.CAB, it sounded louder. But still, I was unable to see the MIDI files in the list to select from.
I took a look around in the CAB files and saw that there is a file RTPlugIn.dll which is installed to \windows. Does anyone know how does the WM2003 Sounds&Notifications applet interface the RTPlugIn.dll to enable MIDI files to be selected?
Thanks
I just found out that, if I move the midi files from \windows\ringtones to \windows, it will appear, anybody knows why? Before the uprgade, it will list the midi files from \windows\ringtones.
Secondly is that if I were to play/preview the midi ringtone, it will play at maximum volume regardless of my ringer volume settings. This does not happen to WAV/WMA ringtones.
I just copied the MID files to the windows/rings folder.
Works fine.
BUT indeed the volume of the ringer does not not affect the volume to be played for MIDis . . .
I am not sure whether the MDAII uses the maximum volume, or just the volume setting from the MIDi file. I gues its the latter.
I will try to figure this out . . .
can the message tone be change to other than the few orinigal one??
can it change to other midi or wav or wma??
you can use wavs for incoming message alert
Use *wav file. Place it in windows folder.
If u want to change ur msg tone:
1. start, settings, tab sounds¬if
2. tab notif, selecet event: inbox, new sms msg
3. play sound :change to the file that u want
guys,
i have this same problem as well; when i first got my unit it was loaded with 1.66WWE and had no problem select WAV file as incoming sms tone. But after i upgraded it to Waxx's 1.72, i notice it no longer works; not only my customized WAV can't be set but even the preloaded WAV which you can use as ringtone can't be used as incoming msg alert.
and i just upgraded my unit to the latest 02 rom 1.72.187 to find the same problem.
I also am having difficulty in changing the incoming msg alert.
I have placed both a wav and wma of the tone in the phone under rings however I cannot find it on the Event Notification to actually use it.
Could any shed some light on this Rom version 1.72.00WWE
Thank you
Hi,
Is it possible to get mp3s as ringtones to MDA2? For midis, it's only a little plugin, isn't there same kind of plugin for mp3?
edit: Subject updated
ms like to push their WMA so thats the easiest thing to use
you can use a program like CDex which is free to convert mp3 to
wma
Well that might be the easiest way. Anyone have an idea why wma is allowed only as ringtone? It can't be assigned as alarm for example...
yeah it's odd guess they made the addon for rings because people wanted to have odd phone ringtones
and maybe the demand was not big on normal notifications so they dident bother
maybe it'll be in CE 2005 if it's not already supported in 2003SE
It's not supported in 2003 SE, I have installed it on my pda. I was hoping that more formats would be supported but no.. :?
You ca use MP3 for ring tones but you need WM10, In WM2003SE just ver 2.20 have WM10 .
wm10
i have xdaIIi which i was pleasently suprised to find has wm10 - however i can't find a way to use mp3 as ringtone - how is this done?
mp3 set as ring tone
this cab file let you set the mp3 tone as ring tone in your xda just install in your xda and choose your mp3 from the explorer and press with hold you will see in the drop menu set as ring tone.
With the Himalaya device?
Regardless of OS version?
I use caller id version 1.20 (build 18567)... i can assign mp3 ringtone for my contact... but i don't know whether this is because i use wm2003se ver. 2.20 chs or just because of the caller id.
anyone else want to try?
mp3 as ringtone
you can download audacity software, you can edit your favorite mp3 files and set the same as your ringtone....
Can anyone advise?
I've installed EnglishMP3SetRingtone.CAB as recommended on another topic here but am having no luck adding ring tones.
Viewing mp3s stored on my storage card I don't get the option to install as a ringtone by holding down over it.
If I look in the phone settings under system, I can see all the mp3s I have placed in Windows/Rings but if I select one & then press play no sound is heard. The only tone that does work is the default tone? Even stranger the other default tones that were installed on the phone such as bass, old phone & 02 tone are still listed but in the actual win/rings folder have disappeared.
If I go into Phone Contacts & try to assign ringtones for individuals it won't display any mp3s. Is the EnglishMP3SetRingtone.CAB meant to enable this to display MP3s?
This is all happening on an XDA 2i running Win 2nd Edition version 4.21.
Any advice gratefully appreciated.

i cant set mp3 as ringtone
i have execute cab file and add registry to wm registry
can u explaint how to install it ?

O2XDAII
Rom XDA2JoJo+Sim Merged
The problem as I found is to do with either Pocket TV or pocket Divx. Can't remember which but if one of these is installed it stops MP3 as ringtones being displayed once you've installed the .cab.
Other than a hard reset I couldn't find away around it.
Where do I change the SMS tone in WM6, the "You've got message" from PDAViet is starting to annoy me
Thanks in advance
that is a good question
i would like to know that aswel my girlfriend is starting to lol everytime my phone goes off. if any one can help use please let me us know thanks

Ok works, thanks alot!!
i want to know if there is anyway that you can put a mp3 as ringtone or a wav file or something plaese help thanks
i use ringo mobile for that. wav, mp3, aac, ogg, wma ... no problem for ringo making as ringtone or sms... i manage my ringtone groups with ringo. thats more comfortable =)
just copy any mp3,wma in the windows directory and then select it from settings>>sounds and notifications>>notifications, then choose event and assign a sound

If I am not mistaken, I think that only wav works for SMS. mp3 or wma works for incoming calls only
Here are mine if you are looking for some "inspirations"
well if you ever saw the movie eurotrip, you may enjoy this .wav/.mp3 file
enjoy lol
EDIT: I have a .wav for an alert tone, and .mp3 for my ringtone (not this mp3 but something else)...and everything is on my SD card (in the root directory, never tried hiding it in a folder)
EDIT SQUARED: I uploaded another .zip file, it has two mp3 ringtones that i use, my email notification noise, and two other .wav files (the old and new SNCF tone)
Hi!
The HTC S740 manual says that you can use mp3 as ringtone, but not as SMS, alert or else. How can that be real? If a phone can use mp3 as ringtone, it can not be an issue to use it as sms or alert. Any workarounds for this?
Thanks
Chris
I solved the problem myself. You have to put the mp3 on the root folder on the phone or SD card, then you can choose it as sms or alert.
