Is it possible to assign a seperate ringtone for certain contacts? I have trawled through the user manual trying to find anything at on this but it shows nothing. I dont know whether this would require additional software to be installed or not so am looking for any pointers on this. I have tried to search on this subject but each time the results that come back are totally varied and dont mention this issue. Any help much appreciated

if you dont want extra software:
in the contact details, there is a field under mobile tel that says ringtone.
sadly you cant mute or set to vibrate only
but i think there is a prog (iirc phonealarm? someone verify on this please) that will do exactly that.
Yes. Phone alarm will do that. Doesn't do black list yet, but can also do separate tones for contacts SMS's..
Other alternatives....... Photo Contacts Pro (PocketX). Smartfilter Pro (Novosec),
But, as mentioned above, you can assign ringtones to specific contacts.
Hi Toufas, tha's exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks, if thats in the user guide, I must need better specs
i assigned specific ringtones to some of my contacts but its this morning did i realize that the default ringtone still applies whenever those people call.
i have a 6.1 rom. do you guys think this is the problem??
I can recommend Ringo. You can set ringtones to your categories if syncing with outlook, set up specific message tones and customise with your own mp3, wavs etc...
So does "Ringo" or any similar software allow us to create a category of contacts (personal, business) and assign each category a ringtone?
Also, I have recently switched to PocketPCs. I have a Tilt phone running 6.1 cooked ROM. I should say, Nokia phones give a much better profile and call management options than these phones, hands down! Nokia gave me a silent button I could use to mute the ringtone but let the call continue. This is very helpful in case you forgot to switch it to silent and the phone suddenly ring. You don't always have to ignore the call. Can HTC Tilt do something like this?
Also, one more thing I miss is the vibrate + distinct beep sound Nokia phones have. That beep is heard even when you are considerably away from the phone, very nice sound. So I want to create a vibrate profile on HTC Tilt with a sharp beep sound. Can this be done?
Sorry for so many questions in this thread, but simply did not want to create a new one.

My TyTN II used to have a Silence button when I was running Garmin's DK.3 rom... I do not know about his new roms, but since I've started running AthineOS, I have lost the silence button... dont know yet if I personally miss it, but it means that it does exist...
ok, yes I do know I'll probably be flames for making this topic. I did do searching and I do know this is a wide spread issue that has more fixes than I can count. however I haven't been able to find a solution that works on my tilt. here is thr issue:
I just installed ms voice command and I cannot get announcements to work on my bluetooth headset nor will my commands run through my mic (I thought they were earlier but apparently not). I did try the fix that was listed here on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309822 but that didn't work. and I did a soft reset as well.
plz help. what is the latest way to do this??
I believe the very latest version of VC works out of the box with no issue.
You can check your version in the VC screen... latest is 1.6.19209
Technically i don't know if this has been release to market yet but it is available in the latest AT&T test ROM and has been incorporated into Dutty's 6.1.
Now I haven't tested it yet...BT is next on my list of things to set up on my phone....but apparently everything works.
If you don't want to flash to AT&T Test ROM or Dutty's (based off same ROM) you can look around to see if you can find a release version of 1.6.19209.
Again, i can't confirm 100% that this works, but from other posts I have seen VC works fully on the above.
crap I have 1.6.17913 (the latest I could find) I went through 2 more processes on 2 more topics and they didn't work. I looked for the version you mentioned and couldn't find it. I had used one of dutty's ROM's before but hspda didn't work like the one I have now. but it looks like I might have to switch over.
ok I have the new rom and it's still not working. do I need to init. it from the headset?? if I do then I probably need a reg. hack to make it so my headset doesn't redial when I hold down the button. Also I noticed if I send all audio to my headset (via the control panel's option) the voice from voice command still comes through the handset.....
Apologies if you've already tried this, but I remember from the Hermes Wiki there was a piece about getting VC to work off the bluetooth headset button. It was basically:
- Create a new entry of \Windows\voicecmd.exe in \hkey_local_machine\Software\Oem\VoiceCommand\Path
- Amend the entry in \hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGExtModule to read vcbthag.dll
Obviously, if your Voice Command is installed via cab rather than baked in, the first entry would be \Program Files\Micorsoft Voice Command\voicecmd.exe (might have to search on your phone for it, I've always used cooked in)
It worked on one my little ROM when one of the beta-testers ran up against the same thing.
I did kinda do that on a wim (not knowing fully what I was doing) I made the change so both items in my audio gateway are "vcbthag.dll" but I folowed the rest of you advice aftefr I saw the post. but it didn't work.
my vox 340 still performs the redial function when I hold down the call button. should I run a search through my registry to see if my bt is using another section I don't know about?? and if I should what is the redial command in the registry?? I would be content with at least finding that at the moment.
On a side not....the new dutty rom doesn't have touchflow??
As an update I did try Jetware at: http://www.jetwaremobile.com/install.htm and it didn't work.
I really am starting to think that the problem is that I need to initialize the voice command through my headset but nothing I do changes the headset command from redial.
So if the announcements seem to come and go with VC, I have seen this "symptom". What I am discovering is that the "ringer" volume level matters as to whether you get announcements or not and the headset in the mix seems to complicate that.
I haven't mapped it out completely yet, I confess. I noted that what you say to VC for ringer level (loud/medium/soft/vibrate) doesn't seem to affect the phone but the phone's volume/vibrate setting does appear to affect annoucements I get. Oh and the pattern isn't the same for calendar announcements getting through versus call announcements.
If anyone out there has already mapped out what VC volume and phone volume settings deliver what announcements, that would be a useful table to look at...
Oh and last bit of potentially useful info -- I have v1.6.17913 and incoming call announcements did NOT work for me out of the box...I had to copy four "update" files onto my device and then it worked just fine. There's a thread on this forum that has a link for those files that you can search for I think.

I know about the file issue and I did try that and it didn't work. Also I updated to dutty's more recent ROM that has 1.6.19209 and it was supposed to work out of the box......but doesn't..... Even when I set it to be the stereo BT I only get the audio from VC if audio was already playing
Hi all,
After a lot of lost time trying to record my calls I said maybe someone already know the answer.
I have installed on TP: ROMeOS 1.70.3 and RADIO 1.02.25.28...very happy with them. I checked the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457808&page=1 and I installed on my TP next programs for call recording:
- ICR, made by HTC. Works, but, like the next programs, doesn't record the voice of the other person (only your voice)
- VITO Audio Notes 4.51. The same like ICR (only your voice) but i like it more as he can automatic record the call. You just have to select that on menu . Also he write file name with the name of the contact that you talked, the date and hour
- Resco Audio Recorder 1.37. Same like Vito, but the file name is different and i didn't know how to make it right for me
I changed the RADIO (i thought can change something) to version 1.08.25.20M1, but no change: I can only record my voice.... I know, if i set up "Speakerphone" option i will have both, but this is not the normal way meaning this will activate the speakerphone and everyone will hear your conversation and the recording is using only the microphone anyway...
Any ideea?
P.S. If you want i can post the soft above
I would post this in the ROMEOS thread for your version. Someone there is much more likely to help you. Plus, you don't want to get yelled at by the mods for starting a new thread when it should have been posted somewhere else.

BIG thanks to Shmilson and rr69 for their work!!!
There's a new kid on the block, rr69's modded cab without the new drivers... I'd try this first (read his post to understand why):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3511566&postcount=128
rr69's lite cab, just the driver, no graphics:

Shmilsons QVGA skinned cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=162900&d=1236070663
Check out mskips thread with a alternative solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493118
Here's how to set up ICR on your Kaiser :
1. Install the cab of your choice (Shmilsons for QVGA skinned version or rr69 if you are happy with your current skin).
2. Install Vito Audio Notes or any recording software of your choice (I'm using Vito Audio Notes for touch 1.02)
3. Soft reset
4. Make a call, when your'e connected use the menu (bottom left corner) and choose start recording. Wait a couple of seconds, then hang up.
5. Start your recording software and put it to automatic record calls
6. DONE!
If it's not working for you, you could try this:
1. Install .NET compact framework: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en
2. If the "Start Recording" doesn't appear, try to uninstall your dialer skinn (or turn it off), soft reset. Try to record a call again, if it works you can reinstall your skinn.
People are looking for the reason why it's working for some and just not at all for others. As soon we have a clue I'll post it here.
Notes:
I don't have to do anything after a soft reset, Vito records everything by default.
Vito records all calls WITH BOTH YOUR OWN AND THE CALLERS VOICE, Vito will name the files according to your contacts (or info in google maps if your'e using any numbers from google).
Now you can record your calls and listen to both parties without any annoying hassle like using the speakerphone!!!
There's no beeps or any other way the caller can hear that your'e recording with this setup... Illegal in some countries, it's your responsibility! =)
Below: Picture shows Vito Audio Notes Touch interface...
no go
Unfortunately my Kaiser says that ICR in not valid windows application on matter what I do. It seem the problem is in ICR.exe because other components install just fine. And of course Vito records only me speaking.
Anyway the fact that it is possible to record both parties makes me optimistic. Maybe the day will come that I will have my advanced, expensive WMphone do what every cheap simple eric or nokia can do for over 5 years
I run stock Orange rom 6.0 (maybe that's a problem)
It say's that for me too... Ignore it, you don't need to open the app, it's just for settings anyways. Just follow the steps and use Vito (or resco or what you prefer).
It still mess up your graphics though.
do you have a screenshot of ICR?
I have been using Vito AudioNotes (on my Kaiser) for months now and when i want to record a call i must have it on Speakerphone, but i simply cover the speaker phone with my finger to reduce the volume so others dont listen in on the conversation.
pls show me what the ICR graphic is?
Thanks

I don't have a clue what it looks like, can't open it. The phone just use the drivers from the cab, I'm using Vito Audio Notes and it works like a charm. Callers and my own voice crystal clear. Had some minor glitches on some calls during the day but overall fantastic!
Any developers reading this? would be nice with a clean cab for kaiser! =)
Since I haven't come up with a solution to the graphic problem I simple disabled caller skin with Advanced Config and using Windows ugly thing for the time beeing... AT least it works, recording calls are more important (for me anyways).
I'm confused, what's this doing that Vito doesn't do? Is it going between the two? I know on the Kaiser most other recording software can't record the outgoing conversation, so no question there, just wondering how this enables it to work.
And is it progressing? No messing with the phone? And does it stay forever, or do you have to do this each reset? Each call?
roomy and i editing icr program stuff to work on kaiser so hang tight
Whoooopieee! Thanks a million!

Yes, this goes in between... There was an old audio driver for windows called virtual audio cable, it catched the sound (data) before it reached the audiocard and then you could route it to where ever you liked. This is pretty much the same thing.
So you can use Vito or any other app. The ICR just reroute the audio so that it ends up in the right place.
You have to use 'start recording' from the dialer menu after every soft reset but just for the first call. After that the 'driver' is activated and Vito will recieve audio for both parties of a conversation.

Hopefully it can be worked out so this is not a battery drain, and can be automated.
I wonder why Vito etc don't do this themselves?

I haven't noticed any battery drain and Iv'e set up Vito to record every call for the last 3 days so it looks promising.
Vito and/or Resco probably would if they could, this driver comes from HTC and I guess it's easier for the hardware vendor to create this than for a software developer. HTC don't need to make it work for any other brand or model, just for the device they choose. That's why... I guess... But what do I know, I'm nothing but a sound engineer...

Great find! This program does exactly what I need it to do, and with Audio Notes, I can maintain a record of all conversations. Very useful indeed! It's already saved me a couple of times by recording conversations where someone told me a phone number that I had to remember because I didn't have any way to write it down while driving.
I tried installing MBarvian's Opal Phone Canvas, and that seems to fix the graphics problem. The recording still works as before. Also, I can run the ICR executable, and it seems to be very similar to Audio Notes, although the vga graphics don't display correctly on my tilt...

How to uninstall IRC?
How can i revert back, my battery status and caller skin?
Hi All,
*** STRIPPED ICR CAB ***
Started off by downloading the cab mentioned in the starting post. Then i removed all the skin and other irrelevant file and registry entries in the cabfile. Which left me with a working ICR "lite" cabfile.
Just follow the same procedure described in the start post but instead use this cab.
It won't ruin the phoneskin because it has been stripped.
No guarantees, but this cab works fine for me..

RR69

I tested that, and it does automaticly work after a soft reset. Here's what i did until now.
(The Sashimi part and hard reset is optional)
I installed the cabfile (ICRKaiser.cab) and Vito audionotes 1.37 on my tytnII. Started audionotes, and edited the settings so the app automaticly records calls on my stroragecard in low quality mp3 format. Did a soft reset, and made the first call and selected "Start Recording" from the menu in the "normal" phone app. (Ended the call after a few seconds)
All the calls after that ar automaticly recorded by audionotes even after a softreset. Both sides are recorded... (You dont have to use "Start Recording" from the phone app. Vito does it all automaticly.)
--------------------
Sashimi automation! (see: http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4)
copied:
"\Program Files\VITO\Audionotes\settings.ini" to
"Storage Card\SASHIMI\AUTO\Root\Program Files\VITO\Audionotes\settings.ini"
Copied
"ICRKaiser.cab" and "VitoAudioNotes.cab" to
"Storage Card\SASHIMI\AUTO\CAB\ICRKaiser.cab"
"Storage Card\SASHIMI\AUTO\CAB\VitoAudioNotes.cab"
------------------------
So when i do a hard reset, and Sashimi has installed the cabfiles and copied the ini file, every works right away. and survives softresets
B.t.w. if you dont want the automatic call recording function you can skip the Vito Audionotes installation. The recording option in the Phone menu also works for two side call recording. It saves the recording in: "\My Documents\Recording\"

I've updated the "lite" CAB mentioned above with the ICR applet that was originally on the CAB floating around and skinned it to QVGA. Only for portrait nowbut I'll try to update it once more if I have the time. I've also overwrote the BEEP and BEEPBEEP sounds with silent WAV files, so no sound is made when starting/stopping recordings.
The applet let's user set format of recording (AMR or WAV) and if to save them on memory or card. It then shows a list of recorded conversations that can be played on the app itself.
It can be used stand-alone if one wants to manually start recording selected conversations or with the procedure on the first post of this thread for the automatic mode.
And as RR69 said here: "No guarantees, but this cab works fine for me..
"
And to think about a few months ago, no one could believe we could do ICR on HTC devices! Ha!
shmilson
Cool,
I just stripped the whole vga ICR application out of the cabfile. Nice to see that someone took the time to reskin it to qvga.
The only thing i would like to find out if the volume of the recordings can be set to be a bit louder.
Regards RR69
A lot of people have commented that the Raphael doesn’t announce the caller ID in blue tooth headsets. Some carriers have bundled the MS Voice Command application into the stock ROM with values that give you ring tone in blue tooth headset but no caller ID (this is true for the Verizon 6850 version, for example).
Here’s a quick and easy registry edit I found looking for a solution to this at PPC Geeks. I’ve tested it and it works like a charm.
This was the original text:
------------------------------
With this fix - the ring tone will play for a second and then be cut off by the call announcement. The announcement will be at a lower volume. The announcement will repeat - the ring tone will not be played again.
NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD ATTEMPT THIS FIX ONLY IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN UPDATING YOUR REGISTRY.
Change the following registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category
change from VoiceCommand1 to Ring
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Script
change from as5p to v0p (that's v-zero-p) - for vibrate & ring, or p (ring only)
The above fix seems to get the announcements reliably, and doesn't break the set vibrate/set ringer features in the TF3D interface.
Hopefully we can find a better solution - that will restore the full functionality of Voice Command incoming call announcements - and not need this hack.
Another option is to manually overwrite the ringtone file name:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Sound
change to \Application Data\Volatile\TTSCallerID.wav
This fix replaces the ringtone with the call announcement - and at full volume.
BUT this solution has several problems, including breaking the set vibrate/set ringer feature in TF3D.
Tried the first one, works as posted. Fuze, at&t test rom.
Thanks!
Sure
My pleasure--it was really annoying not to know was calling me when I'm walking around or driving.
Same here. I have a personal reason for wanting the call announcement in the blue tooth, rather than the speaker. I don't like blasting out who's calling me, or annoying ringtones to everyone else...LOL...kind of a pet peeve of mine.
I have a "borg implant" stuck in my ear 8-10 hours a day, and it is nice, when I'm working, NOT to have to pull the phone out of its case to see who's calling.
You would think that MS, HTC, or who ever is at fault for this "bug" can't fix it without someone having to hack the registry to get it to work like it is suppose to.
Once again, thanks!
