Assigning own music to sms message

Hi
How do I assign my own music to an sms text alert? on my TyTN 11

copy and paste the tones you would like to use into the My Documents folder or Windows folder on your phone.
you'll find all the notification tones in settings>sounds & notifications>notifications. Select from the drop down menu and change The tone.

WTF?! When syncing to laptop or desktop, choose storage card preferably and put anything you wish in the ''My Documents'' folder. You might have to create this new folder if it's not present. Try googling your question next time finished with "xda"

Thanks Teh Reaper but I have done as you said and in sounds and notifications it still only allows the sounds that came with the phone

forget the copy n paste method, you have to be very exact where you paste it to, just put your audio or even video files in the My Documents folder from your pc

I had this problem as well when I got my Kaiser. Put the files into the Windows folder. This did the trick for me.
MyDocuments does NOT work for SMS or other notifications. Only regular ringtones work there.
Most likely you have to convert your SMS tones to wma before you are able to use them. SMS sounds didn't work as mp3 for me. There are lots of converters available on the web. Simply choose one.

No no no, you don't need any converters as long as they are mp3 or even m4 format, it'll read under settings from My Documents folder

For me, this doesn't work, as you described it. I tried this. My method works for me! It is just a suggestion.

My documents works for Every type of notification!!! Make sure its My documents from the storage card though

For some reason My documents from the device do not relate to sounds and notifications, again, try My Documents folder from storage card. I'm currently using a customized message for Every notification

Thank you
Thanks for your help in resolving issue.Works a treat.
1st time on thread for me,so thanks.

Corrupted ring tone error message

Can anyone please help me with a serious problem that has reared its ugly head. I am currently running ROMeOS v4.6.0 but I have had this problem is other ROMS before so I'm posting this cry for help here. I keep losing my notifications sounds ie when I get a text message no alert sounds and there is no vibration despite the fact that I have selected that both should occur in Sounds & Notifications. In the Sounds and Notifications page if I select an alert from the drop down box for, say, "New text message" I cannot preview the sound when I click the sound preview button and when I select "ok" I get the error "This ring tone file is corrupted or unavailable. Please choose a different ring tone" This happens for every alert sound listed.
The bizarre thing is sometimes the notifications and vibrate works but usually doesn't. A soft reset can fix the problem temporarily but I have no idea when the problem will re occur.
I will mention that I had previously saved a few Diamond alerts and ring tones in /Windows and Windows/Rings respectively but I have now deleted them in case it was this that was causing the problem. I'm have now just selected the alerts that came in the original ROM but I'm getting this error message again and again and missing my SMS's due to no alerts/vibrate.
Does anyone have thefaintest idea what could be causing this strange behavior? I have searched but despite a few references to this error no cure is mentioned. Can anyone help with this?

Solution to the problem "This ring tone file is corrupted or unavailable..."
Hi everybody!
I used to have the same problem. When I tried to set an mp3 ring tone for incoming calls or when I tried to set an alarm with mp3 sound, a box appeared saying "This ring tone file is corrupted or unavailable. Please choose a different ring tone." The ring tone defaulted to Ring-WindowsMobile. I use Samsung SGH-i780 PPC with Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional. The problem occurred after installation of .NET compact framework 3.5 or after installation or deinstallation of NoteM 1.21 voice recording software. I have read many posts and come to the conclusion that apart from hard reset of my PPC there is no other useful suggestion on the web So I had to figure it out myself and I did
First thing I have noticed is that I could use *.wma ring tone and alarm sound. So i used Free Mp3 Wma Converter 1.8.0 on my laptop to convert two mp3 files, meant to be used as a ring tone and alarm sound, to WMA format and then I put them it into /My Documents folder, using ActiveSync. Then I could select these two wma files as my ring tone and alarm sound. Good start.
Then I realized that when I clicked on any mp3 file in file explorer, this file did not opened in my Windows Media Player Mobile 10. So I used my Total Commander for Windows Mobile (Total Commander/CE V. 2.51), which by the way is a great stuff, to set default application for opening mp3 files. After "right-clicking" (i.e., holding down the stylus/mouse until a context menu appears) on any mp3 file you can select Properties. Then choose second tab - Open with. Here you should have an antry ".mp3 -> mp3file". If you do not have one, you can add it by clicking on the Open with button and typing: Command: wmplayer.exe (this application is in \Windows folder, so you do not need full path), Parameters: "%1", Icon file: \Windows\wmplayer.exe, Index: 0. Last two options are not essential. Note that %1 must be quoted! Ok, after accepting these settings, you should be able to open your mp3 files with Windows Media Player. Not bad, right?
The second step involves editing your registry. I am going to describe how to do this with the aforementioned Total Commander, which fits this task very well. You should go to the root of your directory tree: \. Then choose \\Plugins\registry\HKCR. First, go to .mp3 folder (you can just start typing letters - Total Commander will navigate you to the proper folder) and enter it. Click on Default - you should see mp3file. Yes, this is one of the results of setting WMP as a default application to handle mp3 files.
Now, the most important part comes! Navigate to another folder in HKCR, called mp3file and enter it. In my case, I had only two subfolders here: DefaultIcon and Shell. By the way, you can see that subfolder Shell\Open\Command contains a key Default with value wmplayer.exe "%1". This is the second of the results of setting WMP as a default application to handle mp3 files. So, coming back to the point - we are in mp3file folder. Now, you should set a correct event sound handler for mp3 files by adding the following folders: Shellex\EventSoundHandlers\{245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893} (i.e., you have to add Shellex subfolder, then enter it and add EventSoundHandlers subfolder and then enter this subfolder and add next subfolder called {245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893}). Note braces in the last subfolder name! Ok, once you are in the subfolder {245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893}, add a new DEFAULT key by hitting New value, then ticking default check box and pressing the OK button. When asked for the value of the new default key, type XME EventSound Player and accept. Now, you should be able to set mp3 ring tones as well as set mp3 alarm sound. At least I was able
Two more notes:
1) The name of the subfolder created in HKCR\mp3file\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers should be identical to the name of the subfolder in HKCR\WMAFile\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers (it seems that wma and mp3 files are handled by the same event sound handler). If you have different subfolder name in HKCR\WMAFile\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers, and your wma files can be set as a ring tone and alarm sound, use your folder name instead of mine ({245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893}).
2) You can reenable an option of setting mp3 file as a ring tone from the context menu. To achieve this, you need HKCR\mp3file\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{...} folder. In this folder add default key with value Set As Ringtone. Check what should be placed inside braces (instead of ...) by checking the name of the folder found in HKCR\WMAFile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers. My value is E88B4A18-6F77-4bb6-8E0D-DCD4B1F8F1DA.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Ringtones

I have the emobile touch diamond, Japanese version. I cannot figure out how to set my mp3s as a ringtone. It will only let me make .wma format into a ringtone. Can anyone help?

The easiest way to set an mp3 as your ringtone would be to do it from within HTC audio manager. Play your mp3 file in audio manager, click on menu-->Set as ringtone. Trim your file to play not more than 40-45 seconds since most carriers cant play a ringtone longer than that. After you trim it, select set as default ring tone.

Even if I play the track in the HTC audio manager the menu does not show "set ring tone" only allows me to add to playlist, properties, ect.

Hmm......ok. Do this, take your mp3 file...and save it in the following location. Using file explorer go to my documents-->my ringtones. Save your file here. Now go to start-->settings-->personal-->sounds and notifications-->notifications-->incoming call. You should be able to see your mp3 file in the drop down.
Good Luck.

that works.. but if you hooking your phone to the computer using activesyne.. they have an option when you first sync it to see if you want to sync music as well...
if you did that.. your Phone My Document folder will show up on the desktop.. and you should be able to see a folder name My Ringtones there.. copy and paste the ringtons you want in there..
and now just go back to your phone.. under Notification.. you should be able to see your ringtones under the drop down like syedimran said

Ya, something is different because it is a Japanese rom. It does have a ringtone folder, but the name is in Japanese. Even if I put files in there they do not show up in setting/personal/sounds and notifications/notifications/incoming calls drop down menu. It is very strange.

Might I suggest flashing a nice clean english rom then. Its gonna save you a lot of rework and its easier this way. Ofcourse the choice is all yours.

How would I go about flashing the rom? Would everything else work ok?

Flashing a new ROM would cause everything other than the stuff in your internal storage deleted.
You can backup call history, sms, e-mails, contacts using this program call PIM Backup (search it on the forum you will see it, or go under the ROM development section click on the Dutty 3.5b Final post and in the first page he has a link to PIM Backup)
Just follow the instruction from the Dutty 3.5b Final post and you will know how to flash a new ROM
of course you can also choose other ROMs of you choice but the same instruction applies to all ROM

YOu can also use MP3. No problem. Put it in /Windows/Rings/ Folder and then you can select it.

Or in your \My Documents or \Storage Card\My Documents

just drop it in the /windows folder and it will work, I just figured how to do this yesterday, dont put it in a 'rings' folder

yeah it works great..thanks man!

it has to be WAV and copy paste to windows folder on the phone not the card.
>and not in ringtones.
Ringtones can be mp3 on any location just tabhold and choose use as ringtone.<
Then go to settings<sounds and notification(or so)<tab notifications(bottom tab)<in dropdownmenu action choose messages new text message<then it should be in the dropdown menu.
Carefull WAV is big on Kb.

I had to refresh this info because it was very useful to me and this solution was simpliest I found.
No need to convert Mp3 to WMA and it works. I use storage card method.

i cannot find my window folder so where can i put...

All my ringtones are in "Application Data\Sounds" and it works flawlessly. I can assign any tone to any type of notification.

Ringtones not working in certain roms ?

Ever wonder why ringtones aren't working in certain ROMS? Well I know I do. I have quite a few custom ringtones that I have set for certain contacts. In some ROMS the ringtones don't work. After quite a bit of research I have figured out why. Some ROMS don't support .mp3 files. The alternative is .m4a (iTunes). iTunes doesn't make it easy to make a ringtone but here is how to do it.
1. Pick the song you want to make a ringtone out of and select about a 30 second time frame to do so, it would be a good idea to write down the time ( 29sec - 59 sec).
2. Once you have that right click on the song and go to get info.
3. On the options tab there is a place that you can put a start and stop time. In those boxes put the beginning part of the ringtone and in the stop put the last part (here is why you needed the times in step 1) Then hit ok.
4. Next right click on the song that you just edited and hit create aac version. This will create a "new song" that is 30 seconds long and this is what we will use for the ringtone.
5. Right click on that 30 second song and click get info. At the bottom it will tell you what directory it is located in. Example: c:\users\username\music\itunes\itunes music\music\whateverband\whateveralbum\songname.m4a
6. Go to that directory and cut or copy the song and place it on your sd card int he corresponding ringtones folder.
There you go... A ringtone that will work with a ROM where .mp3 tones do not.
