I was wondering if there is any possible way to get ringtones set for your text messages & i was also wanted to know if you can set a lock for your pictures and texts. If you can help thatd b appriciated -]
you can download File Barricader for free and it will provide you the option of locking files and folders so your pics will be private. Haven't tried it on texts
Text and MMS messages only support WAV and MIDI files for sounds. You need to put them in the root of \Windows to be seen.
I use MP3 personalised text message sounds through Ringo (google Ringo Mobile). You have to pay for it but it's great - I have different sounds for the people who text me the most, and a generic one for everyone else.
Not sure about changing MMS to be personalised, but I also use an MP3 for my generic MMS sound.

does anyone have any program to convert mp3s to where u can use them as text alerts. i have a wing if it matters. Thanks in advance
I have the MP3's I want to use as ringtones in the main folder of my SD card and then the Wing automatically sees it and I just add it. Stock ROM, nothing different.
ya i can use them as ring tones for calls but not as incoming text messages
I have found that you can use mp3s as Text Message alerts if they are placed in the storage card\my documents folder rather than the storage card\my documents\my ringtones folder
I still have not been able to use them as alarm sounds without putting them as wav files in the main Windows folder which I don't care to do. But for system alert sounds, this seems to work
that worked thank u very much
Dont know why but i always put the wanted track in windows. not to smart huh? thanks for the easy fix!
All,
I have searched up and down using google and this forum, and all I have found is people with similar problems but no answers to these questions below:
1. Ring tones for contacts saved to the phone are easy, as is setting a single .mp3 to play for SMS messages, but all I really want is my default ring tones for contacts to play when they send me SMS messages. I know Ringo does this, but it crops my ring tones down. I don't want this. I want the full 3-8 minute song to play for a given contact whenever they send me an SMS message.
2. Why won't my current SMS ring tone stop playing on opening of a notification? No matter what it is, a stock 10 second clip or a 8 minute .mp3, it plays completely whether I have opened the phone or not. The equivalent of this would be you getting a call, answering the call, and as you are talking, your main ring tone is still playing. I don't know if this has to do with windows media player, which I have replaced with the audio manager, which is much better, but it is a huge hassle for the sms message ringer not stop once you've opened and are replying to an sms notification. I don't want to have to have my text messages just vibrate or have no sound at all. I want the whole .mp3 to play the ring tone for the specific contact unless I read or dismiss the notification.
I have looked into Ringo, Phonealarm, and Mobiedit, and none does want I want. Ringo crops my SMS alerts, but plays full .mp3s for incoming calls...It should be the other way around. Mobiedit wouldn't recognize any of my .mp3s. Phonealarm has a lot of nice features, but what I want is very specific.
Any registry hacks for this? Any cabs for this?
I want to thank you in advance for your answers and for all the wonderful information, tips & tricks, and downloads you offer.
Thank you,
Brian

Can anyone point me in the direction of another resource then?
PhoneAlarm WILL do this. You just have to set it up.
Really? Then I couldn't figure this out. Is there a difference between the trial version and the full version?
Thank you for your help and I will report back to see if I can get it to work.
phonealarm does indeed allow you to shut off the notification once you either dismiss or reply to it. I don't know if it is worth 30 bucks. Is there a way to get an 'answer on open' like function for sms?
It does not however, allow me to use my contacts ringers for their incoming text messages. Is there a registry tweak out there I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi.
I am a System Admin, as well as a member of a Rural Fire Brigade.
I need a way so that I can differenciate between different sources of SMS..
i.e. One contact is for missed pings to the servers - low priority, another is for servers down - higher priority, call out for the brigade - high priority and loud wake up tone
can anyone give me some advice on how to do this. I know I can do different ring tones for mobile calls but what about SMS contacts etc.
Many thanks for any help
Dave
I´ll need the same thing...
Once I used to have a sms chat software, but it corrupted messages often so I discontinued using it, I thing it was vito, but don´t remember
Well.. I don't know of any free solution for this.. but Electricpocket Ringo does this job very well.. it allows u to assing custom sms/ringtone to individual contacts and groups. No individual mms tone though..
maybe also magiccall will do what you are looking for
hey all~
i asked basically the same question recently. i was directed tot he freebie mortring, after fiddleing a lil (to make my own sounds work) i got it working pretty well
~j
hey all~
so i found what, in my opinion, is the best FREE text message (and call) custom tones program....
its called oist (google it as i don't have the link handy) and it allows you to set custom tones (wav format only) for:
calls
texts from unknown senders
texts from everyone
texts from specific numbers
sent text message tones
it can also forward sent notifications to another number
anyhows i tested a few different ones and this seems to work best!
~j
Still playing around with it, but I think oist will work.
Now I just have to make WAV files for everyone.
I found this also but does not work on my wm6.5 touch pro... I have version 1.4
am I doing something wrong?
When I go to the settings to change the incoming text message notification there's a list of sounds to choose from (like "alert1" "alertglass" stuff like that). I tried looking through the file explorer but couldn't find this folder, I was wondering if anyone knows where it is so I can put some of my own sounds in there to use as notifications? Thanks.
all the files are in \Windows. they are system files so you will need to tell explorer to show all files so you can see them. if you want to add more sounds just drop the file into \Windows.
they have to be wav format too don't believe mp3 works
i have been able to use wma and wav file for notification.
p.s. put ringtones in \My Documents\My Ringtones\
I managed to use my own sounds in the events and messages alerts, loading them in Application Data\Sounds
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone can please explain how to set an mp3 or any other custom audio file as the notification/sms alert tone?
Also... Is it possible to set custom SMS tones for each contact (in addition to the custom ringtone)?
Thanks for any help.

There are folders already on the phone for ringtones and you can set them via settings/sound/ringtone .. They show up there, at least they show fine for me.

What file format have you had success with? Any limit to file size or track length?

I use mp3, 320 kbps and the ones I use are about 30 seconds long, I have no idea though what other formats it recognises, or lengths ... Only my own experiences
Aweome, thanks for the help AllAboutTheCore, for some reason I could not get it to work at all last night, but I just tried again now and.. success.
Thanks again.
If you make a folder called Media and inside of it you place Notifications, Ringtones, Alarms, you will keep them apart. Male sure to initialize a Media rescan or reboot to get them to show in the system picker.

Hi altimax98,
Thanks for the reply. Currently I do have those folders (Alarms, Notifications, Ringtones) but they are all in the /sdcard/ directory. If I move those 3 folders into a "Media" folder... will the phone still be able to see them?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Creating an appropriate Notifications folder as suggested elsewhere is a good idea, then find the mp3 (for example if you've added it to the phone) in ES File Explorer, open the file you'd like (with the ES audio player), then tap the options button (3 dots along the title bar), and from there you can "Set ringtone" - you can choose to set it as ringtone (calls), notification (messages) or alarm.
Once you've done this, the tone will show up in the ringtones and message alert tones list to choose from in the usual way (settings).
As for individual contact tones, a ringtone can be assigned from the contacts (People) address book, but not SMS tones as far as I know. There's an app, GoSMS that looks good but I haven't used it so couldn't say for sure.
Hope this helps.
