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

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.

thanks ill google it right now

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

Hi,
New to this forum - hello everyone.
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about and I'm sure it's been tackled before on the Diamond forum - but search isn't helping me out here.
Basically i'm reffering to the issue where I get no SMS tone when the phone turns off the screen (powersaving/standby) - only the ring of light flashes.
Is there a know solution? I've already edited the registry (disablewakeon something??), and sms notifcation on screen! No luck!
Any help would be appreciated.

have you tried Start->settings->Sounds&Notification->Notifications and then from drop down choose new SMS and set accordingly
i think you want to say that there is no notification on screen when the ph is in standby mode,but when u wake up ur ph or recieve a call then it shows the sms notification.....if thats ur problem then try downloading tweak pack available in the forum.....in that tweak pack there is an option to show notification whenever u recieve a sms,no matter if the ph is in stndby mode
Tried setting a ringtone to a waveform file (for example WAV, WMA or MP3)?
My TD refuses to work with MIDI so I just replaced them with WMAs.

yeah - that what i was trying to say ... i've re-read my original post - not so clear was it!?
so tweak pack you say ... i'll look for that (link would be nice thou') - cheers
EDIT: are you reffering to the "Advanced Configuration Tool"? If so what setting am I looking for? If not - link to the tweak pack please?

i'm actually playing a midi (the nokia sms tune) but it works fine when not in standby .... did yours do that too? (i.e. work when not it standby and vice versa!?)
I've also tried the registry fix:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
This didn't really do much apart from truning the screen on - still no sms tone if the phone was on standby on recieving the sms.
If there's a specific know fix for this issue your help would be appreciated as would a link to it!.
Cheers!
i have a similar prob, i get no vibration if device is set to "vibrate" by recieving new sms. if i check "vibrate" in settings - sounds - notifications then it vibrates properly in vibration mode, but then it vibrates also in normal sound mode.. rom is stock 2.03 rom
Bump
Bumping,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
Worked like a charm for me!
Changed the value and restarted the device.

hi
is possible to have the standard ringtone not continuous because when i select the standard ring (1,2,3,4)is without pause.
my rom android is:Mdeejay FroYo Sense Matted v.1.4 [Kernel: MDJ S6.1] on hd2
thanks
anyone know this problem?
I'm struggling to understand what you mean here mate?
when phone ringing(with standard ring 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 ) the sound is continuous.
it's possible change this!
Hi!
I have the same problem... anyone knows of a solution?
Ok, to be more specific...
When you select one of the standard ringtones 1, 2, 3 or 4... normally it should ring like this: riiiing, pause, riiiing, pause, riiing, pause... etc.
Right now mine is ringing like this: riiiing riiiiing riiiing riiiing ... its really annoying sometimes
Thanks in advance!
I am also getting this.. the pause bet rings is not long enough. I m not sure if this an HTC sense or andoid fix but I managed to fix it via a workaround by editing the ringtone itself. mine is an mp3 ringtone so I downloaded a freebie software for editing mp3 and added blank or silent sound at the end just to serve as a pause.
hi
yep... sounds like a great idea, i didnt think of that, thank you very much!
Lucky i`m only using one ringtone... i`ll check to see if the standard one is .mp3
normal ring ring tone
Hi
excuse my poor english
try this its very simple and it will work the way you want
all you have to do about the ringtone is to edit it with audacity application by adding a silence space after or before the selected ringtone with the length of tow seconds then save it to you desktop then coonect your device by usb cable and send the new ringtone to your device inside a folder you created earlier in sd card named ringtone choose the new rintone from sound settings as a default ringtone
good luck
hi guys .
i create XAP Ringtone by " ChevronWP7.RingtoneInstaller " . install xap Ringtone But when change the ringtone for NEW SMS by Advanced Config , in the setting for NEW SMS , show the None !!!
help ...
No answer ?!!!
actually same thing happened to me, there isn't anything there, and im also wondering how to make it appear in there. if there is a specific folder we need to add it to or something :/
so in the mean time i just went ahead and did it the other "hard" way went into the windows folder and got my sms ringtone i wanted and renamed it to one of the sms tones i didn't care too much for and replaced it, too bad it basically is the same name and i can't change it to something else.
I think it has something to do with registry values maybe? i don't know but you should try this in the mean time since im not sure of anything else. if anyone else can help it would be apreciated. in the mean time, i hope i helped for now
Hi guys.I see many threads about my question but i cant find any answer to this.I run in my XPERIA X1 a custom 826x rom that have winmo 6.5.3 .All i whant to ask if anyone know is how can i change this default sound of windows? ( see attach pic).This sound is OH MAN i better dont tel.ty in advance guys.
That screen just enable/disable this function.
You'll need to convert the audio files into WAV e put them on \Windows folder (internal memory, not SD!), then go to NOTIFICATION Pannel and change the sounds as u want!
Is that what u want?!?
well not exacly this.for example when you turn off the phone there is a system masage that say for unsaved data and something like that.when this masage appears there is a sound.THAT sound whant to change.
