why don't you share it then?
well i bluetoothed my track acrossed to the phone, then found the windows/rings file and copyied it acrossed, went to the ring settings and its magicly apeard in my list
use this file
It is working on my PDA2
thank me later
it is a cab file just run it in ur phone
Alternative Method:
Dock your PDA in it's cradle
Open "My Computer"
Open "Mobile Device"
Open "My Windows Mobile-Based Device"
Open "Windows"
Open "Rings"
drag & drop any tunes you want to use as ringtones and place them in there - I think it also accepts .wma files as well as mp3 ones

OK, this is a game you will recognise and was coded by an old workmate of mine a few years ago for my Ipaq (so you know HOW many years) at my wife's request as she preferred it to playing with me!!!
Dug it out of my old files as I found it works very well on the TyTynII.
Hope it works for all the other variants as its pretty addictive.
Enjoy.
Good deal, trying it out now.
To be honest I have not seen the guy for seven years but I think we all ought to prod him to re-start fognoft software.
He has a talent that blows my mind...
looks promising just one thing, where does it go? its got no installer and the instructions just say cpy to your windows ce machine its an exe so im thinking program folder or start menu folder in windows/start menu/programs?
OOps, sorry. It's before we had .cab installers!!
DOH! (shows how old it is..)
Unzip the files on your PC then copy the folder on to your phone using the Mobile Device link when connected via USB cable and Activesync.
Copy it into 'Mobile device' 'My windows Mobile-Based Device' 'Program files' ... whilst this is open, enter the ICBM-PocketPC-ARM directory that you have just copied and right-click and copy the main .exe file. Then go to the Windows directory of your phone (still on the PC!), 'Start Menu' 'Programs' 'Games' folder, right click your mouse and paste the shortcut (rename it how you want) the icon will appear in you programs menu!
Awesome. Shall we post high scores? first try 25,270. Who can beat it?
Hate the supplied ones ! and have one in mind.... how can i get it to add to the list of Alarm sounds ?
thanks
Put .wav files in the Windows directory to use them.
Copy the WAV file into the Windows Directory on your device.
Then go into the alarm setup & it will be in the list.
James
at the moment its in the "File explorer" under my ring tones
where is this "windows Directory"
thanks

Take them out of there... do the following:
1. Highlight the .wav files you want, Right hand and click Copy.
2. Connect your phone to PC and ActiveSync should start automatically.
3. Click Tools, Explore Pocket PC, open your device.
4. You should see "Windows". click it... It will take about a minute to open.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and right hand click and choose paste.
6. close and click the Time then choose the Alarm tab.
7. Click on the Bell icon and from the drop down window you should see all those .wav files you copied.
is this simple enough for you..?
Enjoy..

Just to add to the above - when looking for the Pocket PC Windows folder via ActiveSync, I found you have to set the PC folder options to display Hidden and System folders.

When I select the sound after step 7 it goes to "default" sound, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks
same here (HTC polaris, wm6),.. not the problem with copying etc but when I try to select the sound it jumps back to default,.. i managed to shrink the wav file with Audacity and Lame to 1.4Mb, i used just part of the song, w settings: 11025 Hz, 16 bit, mono (as low as the settings go, if I type custom Hz, eg 8000 the size stays the same).. i guess this has sth to do with the size of the file, i noticed someone talking about it being less than 600kb big,.. but have no clue how to make it even smaller (there's only 30 secs of song left).. any ideas
reflashed to the latest version and went to setup my alarm/textmessage sounds and none of the alarm wavs were there. bad flash? or just not included in the updated version?
Does the size of the file matter? I have the HTC touch with windows 6.1 and unfortunately the converted wave files show up but much like what other people have said once I go to set it as an alarm it doesnt work it just sets it to default. Ringtones work fine but alarm doesnt
Use the HTC Audio Manager
I was struggling with this and then I came across the Audio Manager.
If you load MP3 file to your phone ( I loaded mine into then the audio manager will find these and there is an option to make any of the files found the default ringtone or store it as a ringtone. These are then selectable using the normal Windows Sounds & Notifications in Settings.
No expert, but hope this assists.
does anybody have 2 good sounding sounds (lol) that i could use for when i open and close my tilt?
3 keys on a piano up...and 3 keys down would be nice.
Here you go...
Install CAB and then just rename any two files EXACTLY as follows and drop them in the device/windows directory:
custom-in (Sound when you close keyboard)
custom-out (sound when you open keyboard)
There are two sets in the rar archive, viz. LS is Light Sabre as in Star Wars-This is the one I use. ST is Siege Tank as in Starcraft game. Both are cool.
Basically you can use any two wav files and rename them as mentioned.
ENJOY!!!

thanks for the cab....but does anybody have a simple piano sound?
here is a bunch i have collected sorry no cabs though there are sonic,mario,halo,startrekand scarface again i did not make these i just found them
where r they?
I'm on a AT&T Tilt and I don't see the windows directory when I browse my smartphone. Am I doing somethin wrong or do I need a special program to be loaded to reach windows????
if you're browsing via ActiveSync from your desktop computer, maybe you'll have to edit the folder-view to show system files (extras - folder options - view)
WICKED!!! This rocks!!!

Sorry, I don't have any piano wavs, but if you do a google for piano wav sounds you should find what you are looking for. That's what I did when I was looking for certain notification sounds.
Good luck!!!
Anyone have a machine gun sound??

So do I just drop the entire zip file into the Windows directory? I tried to drop unzip and put in the wav files themself, but they didn't show up in the keyboard sound drop down.

the sounds go in the windows directory then you need to opena reg editor and go hklm/software/htc/slidingsounds and edit the registry to either add to the existing sounds or editing the exisisting ones. to add more sounds you simply need to copy and paste one of the other folder and change the names and numbers to match your new sound for example to add a fourth sound you would need to pick the sound you want and make i 3_in.wav and 3_out.wav
you wil also need to go into the folder and edit the default to change the name. or if we are really luck someone will cab this up for us.for better instructions go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356400

I recently upgraded my tilt to Windows 6.1. (I got the copy made for cingular phones here (sorry dont have a link)) I put songs on my storage card and my phone recgonizes them but when I try to select one of them for my ringtone then ringtone selection doesnt recgonize them.
Is this a 6.1 problem or am I just retarded?

If you copy them to \windows\rings can you see and select them?

And the answer to my question is I am a retard. I dont know why I didnt think to do this in the first place. Its even in my manual! Thanks though for real
For some reason, phone wouldn't recognize any songs I set as ringtones-then I used MP3 trimmer and cut the files down to under 600k-then they worked.
Easier to right-click on any mp3 song and select to use as ringtone, its one of those windows UI secrets.

how do you right-click a stylus ?
LOL...I think he meant holding the stylus over the file...then you'll get the option to set as a ringtone if it is a music file. As I stated before, I tried that (selecting a full song as my ringtone) but the phone wouldn't recognize it--it was only until after I cut the file down below 700K (with MP3 trimmer) that it would work.
i can not figure out how to get a mp3 ringtone that i downloaded to work when i get a text. the tone shows up in the new text thing to select which tone u want but it doesnt ring when i get a text? my ringotne from a incoming call works. but not the text
thanks chris
I got the same problem. anyone can help?
are you sure the text tone does not work at all? I am running WM6.1 stock on AT&T Tilt which I purchased a couple of days ago. Today, I did not notice when I received the text. I thought I was probably away from the phone. But when I read your post, I doubt that the same thing is happening here as well?
hmm.. experts?
maybe not an expert, but afaik You cannot use mp3 as a message tone. it's got to be .wav
br
bro
[EDIT]
...and I believe You need to drop it in windows folder
You can use a mp3...you just have to copy it to the windows folder.
do u put it in windows folder in sync or on the phone?
i use resco file explorer to transfer it. You can use the default file explorer. Just do it on your phone. I keep them saved on my card because I flash so often that i just copy them from my card to the windows folder.
mp3's will work as message alert tones. Just make sure you drop it in the windows root directory.
If your particular mp3 file doesn't work try another one.

Easiest way is to use MP3Trimmer.
"Assigning Ringtones" problem for TILT phone...
I'm having the same trouble with assigning ringtones/mp3 files as text alerts, alarm clock tones. I installed the .cab file (ringtone manager) mentioned earlier in the thread, and I have all ringtone files in my WINDOWS folder. Howerver, when I use the installed "Ringtone Manager" program and explore my files...my mp3 files do not show up w/in the "Ringtone Manager" program. Any suggestions? I'm relatively new to all of this...please dumb it down for me.

I don't know from where you got the ringtone manager app. I don't see it anywhere in this thread. Maybe that application doesn't support mp3 files as text msg alerts or something.
I always place my mp3 files in the first screen after you've clicked 'Explore' in ActiveSync. I believe it's called "Mobile Device Center". Afterwards, it should allow you to select the file for texts. Try that. It should work.
I put all tones that i plan on using in the root of my storage card... no problems.
