gah! so there's nth that works like a normal hp function where you stop the sms tone by say, clicking a button or reading the sms?

ring tone randomizer

I was wondering if there is a program out there that would randomly select a new ring tone as calls come in, or if someone knows how to write one? I have alot of great rings but hate having indiviual rings for people or being stuck with one at a time. Thanks for the help

if you do a search through google you should be able to find it... one i had found is called "call surprise" see if that will work for you!

Thanks for the info, I am installing it know and will let you know.

I know this reply is long overdue but thats call suprise was exactly what I was looking 4

whats the name of the program?

I found the program but i can`t install it.
The hone says it can`t recognize the file

Are you running "Call Surprise.CAB" from your phone's file explorer? Make sure you downloaded the right file; it installed fine here.

idea
hi eckstei4
your query seems innovative in a way, but would not such programme confuse you... everytime you hear a ringtone you will think its you!! so maybe if some would write the programme could set a parameter for vibrate too in association with the programme... would that be a valid request.

The installation of call surpriser vent ok, But now i can`t start it because I need a newer version of .NET compact framework. but when i try to update windows it does not find any updates

text message custom tones?

hey all~
so this is my first post here, hope this is in the right thread (if not i apologize and ask the admins to plz move it?)
anyhows, i has a tytn2 (at&t tilt of course) its all upto date and all. i was wondering....i know i can set custom ring tones for contacts for when they call, is there any way (free way) to set custom tones for when somebody texts?
i had my old phone (motorolla rokr z6) set to do that and would like to have my new phone set that way too but i can't find how to or if its even possible anywhere....
thanks all

Ok, I think I got two questions out of that test. J/K
1. Edit: Sorry about that. I didn't read properly.
2. To assign notification sounds. Start>Settings>Personal>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications. Open the Event: drop down, find the event, Open the Ring tone: select the sound, turn on Play sound, finished.
Notification sounds reside in the \Windows\ root folder of the device. I like to put ring tones into the \Windows\Rings\ folder. They work in other folders but I find the Rings folder neater than the root for example and thats what the Rings folder is meant for anyway.
Hope that works for you.

U cant assign different ringtones for text messages to contacts. For that u will probably need some 3rd party application.

hey all~
hurm, okay well if i can't then does anyone know of any 3rd party app that can do it? i know pcm can NOT do it for text's (but they can for calls) . . .
thanks for the help guys and gals
~j

try mortring. you can personalize rings for calls and sms according to individual or category.
although it's been slightly buggy since i upgraded to 6.1, it still does the job well enough.

somynex~
thanks ill google it right now
~j

Try photo contacts. You can assign text tones to individuals on it

hey all~
so igrabed mortringand installedit buthad no luck with it working :-( so i guess ill look into that other suggested program....
like i said it's not a big deal, just something i would likes (it shouldn't surprise anyone as my screen name should imply i'm a linux guy [ubuntu is a linux distro.] and i love everythiing tweaked as much as possible lol)
~j

sorry to hear that mortring didn't work. in WM6 and before it seems to intercept the call and then change the ring.
But in WM6.1 it seems to have to change the ringtone for each contact/category according to the ring i set it to, which can take a long time. the first time after i set the rings, thought my phone froze up. but actually it was just taking its time setting the rings for each contact (and takes a long time when one has a lot of contacts/categories).
anyway after the first couple days of freezes, it seems to work fine now and hasn't froze up on me since.

somynex~
maybe i'll give it another go then....i tried with my brothers contact info. changed his txt tone then had him txt me....maybe i needed to let it sit for longer to 'finish the change' . . .
thanks for the extra info

No problem mate.

Here's a post of mine from almost 4 years ago that you can use with Mortring (free) to make custom notifications for your contacts.
Okay I figured out how to create a custom notification/ringer.
1: go to http://public.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
And type in what you'd like for the notification or ring to say and then
download it after picking a voice. (keep in mind sometimes you have to purposely
misspell certain word to get them to be pronounced correctly. For example for DJ
I had to spell it as d j).
2: rename that file you downloaded into something you'd like.
3: move that .wav file to your devices /windows directory.
4: go to start - settings - sounds & notifications - notifications (select the
event you'd like to change the ring for and select the respectable audio file).
If using Mortring in step 4 assign that .wav for your contact(s).

dj~
wow thanks, from 4 years ago...kewl that u looked it up fo rme i appreciate it and will be off to create
~j

Of course.. then there's always Electricpocket Ringo. It lets u assign ringtones and sms tones individually, or to groups. The best I've used so far.

Free? I tried Ringo over a year ago and it slowed down my phone a lot.

hey all~
i got mortRing working! seems pretty good, works for sure. one thing though...it seems that everytime i get a text from someone whos got a personalized tone, that wmp opens to try to play the wav file (and go figure, wav=windows audio video...wmp says it can't play wavs lol)
i think i may have fixedn it with a registry tweak, have to wait till someone with a custom tone texts me back lol
~j

hey all~
ok so this question is probably for those who have or have used mortRing....everytime a custom notification comes my media player opens :s
i went in the registry and undid the default wmp handling of wav files (as the ringtones...err text tones lol that mortRing recognizes are wav's) but then it opened a dialouge saying it didn't know how to handle the wav file (nvm it played lol) ii changed the default to mort player but it still opens whenever one of the custom contacts text me....at least mort closes quicker then wmp...but still would be nice to get it to stop...
so any ideas? a registry hack (i'm comforatable doing that, even though im a linux guy i work on peoples win-slows computers....a LOT) anything?
thanks
~j

I have an older version of Mortring that doesn't have that problem.

DJ~
do you happen to know what version number you have? thanks

thanks !!!!!

Not sure what your problem is as you just say it doesn't work, anyway open up AudioManager let your music library load if not already, Click on all songs and then on the song you want to use as your ringtone click and hold choose Set as Ring Tone\Set as Default Tone.

In 6.1, AT$T has limited the size of ringtones to 500Kb are your s larger ? If so trim them to work. I have also noticed that some files that my son had that were DRM protected would also not work.
I don't know if AT$T has put in a way to exclude DRM files.

Wow didn't know they had put a limit on the size of a ringtones, 500kb not big enough for any .MP3 ringtone.
Thanks for the info for future reference.

thanks a lot.. i'll see wat i can do...is there anyways that i could get rid of the the restriction? i guess at&t just wants us to buy ring tones.. lol.. well thanks for the help i appreciate it!!!!

Uhh...I don't believe MP3s are allowed as ringtones in WM6.1. I'm pretty sure it has to be a WMV.

I'm using an MP3 for a ringtone right now on my 6.1 Kaiser -- it just has to be in the right place. (and not too big, I guess)
/My Documents/My Ringtones

This .cab should fix the 500kb ringtone limit. I didn't make this by the way, it's all over the net.

Help! Ayuda! Ringtone

So i need some help. I have been trying to set a ringtone as a text notification but no luck! :[ I had no problem with this until after i deleted all that at&t junk. I've tried copy & paste into windows file and ringtone file. Someone anyone HELP ME! THANKS!

more info required
you would need to say what rom you are using?, what format the tones you are using are in ?, what exactly are you trying to put in the windows folder?
have you tried any other apps to achieve this.. which app were you using to do it before? what did you remove?
i use ringo (comercial software) but there are freeware options out there with a bit of searching... i seem to remember seeing a mortscript that was set up to do this somewhere on xda. which users seemed to report worked quite well.

I use the stock rom. I haven't upgraded to any other rom. I am trying to put a song into the windows file so i can change the text notification to the song of my choice. I have not tried any other apps only because i know of none. lol. I'm not sure what app i was using if any. But all i remember is i had absolutely no trouble with this until i deleted the at&t junk on the tilt. By the way i appreciate your help. My apologies for not responding sooner.

Oh, i forgot to mention the formats: mp3 and wmv. The ringtone that i want is set to mp3. It was mp3 the first time it worked and it still is mp3 and now it doesn't work.

All mp3's need to be associated with Media Player or else they will not play as ringtones. Perhaps you have installed another music player which has changed the file associations. You need to change it back to WM Player. Let us know if this is your problem.
Hasta luego,
MAC

Is the ringtone over 500KB? When I still used AT&T stock ROMs, I learned that files over 500KB would not work as ringtones unless I installed this fix. Hope that helps,
Dave
(And I assume you're putting the potential ringtones in \My Documents\Ringtones)

So i figured out how to put songs as a ringtone. So now i want a song as a text notification. And nothing seems to work. :[ Also i installed xda-team_manilla2d.cab and the weather isn't working it wont allow me to add a location and the settings sounds tab isn't working either. help?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, all other notifications need to be wav files.

Well thanks. So what about the weather problem and the settings sounds tab in manilla 2d? Why wont it allow me to add a location? And why wont it allow me to go to the sounds tab in settings when using the manilla touchflo thingy? lol
