Is it possible to have a voice saying like "You have received a new message!" when I receive an sms? Where can I find such a sound file and how (and where) to install it? Or should I install a theme including this? Which one?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Conrad,
I'm attaching a .wav file that should suit your need. Copy and save this file to your Ringtones folder and then assign it under Notifications for a incoming SMS.
Cheers!

Try these , they are .wav files. Put them in your /windows folder and they will appear in your sounds and not.

They can just be on the root of your storage card too, also just as reference ringtones can go in Storage Card\My Ringtones "anything to save space"

I'm trying to change the sound WM uses for the pop-up dialogue (for instance, you install a program and a dialogue pops up and says you have to restart... that sound). I've gone through every option available in Settings/Sounds & Notifications, but there's no entry for it. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

This is what I did (altho the results of the following steps are entirely YOUR responsibility):
1. MAKE BACKUPS! From Activesync, "Explore" the phone. i.e. in a Windows Explorer window.
2. Dbl-click "My Windows Mobile Device". Dbl click the "Window" subdirectory.
3. Sort by filetype.
4. Navigate to where ".wav" files are.
5. Select all the ".wav" files and copy them all en masse to a separate directory on your PC. (all the hidden system wav files should also have been copied in the process).
6. play all the wav files until you find the one that irritated you the first time.
7. open a registry editor of your choice on your WM device. (I use SKTools)
8. search for the file name from step 6.
9. Try the full name plus extension first. If no result, then try the name without the extension.
10. Replace instances of the filename with the wav filename of your choice (I assume you have one). If there was an extension in the first place, include the extension as well.
The outcome of all the above is your responsibility. The steps worked for me, and if you are familiar with how to edit WM registry items, the steps should work for you as well.
good luck.
Thanks for the reply skenobi. Reading your response, it occured to me that once I find the wav files WM is using, I could probably just replace the sound I don't like with a renamed copy of the one I do (i.e., replace Alarm2 with a copy of Alarm4, renamed to Alarm2). I think I'll try this out first, before I buy a registry editor.
Thanks again!

That might work, altho (if I'm not mistaken) some wav files are in ROM, i.e. you can't rename/replace it.
Your mileage may vary, as they say.
Good luck.
Hello,
is any change I can change content of Windows foleder files? I mean change for ex. SMS WAW file to my file ...
All this files are System file and I could not change them.
Any help<
Thanks a lot
you dont have to overwrite them. as long as the tone your importing into the folder is in the correct format (if its sms tone your after in this case i believe it does need to be a .wav file) then once file is in folder just go into your ringtone personalisation settings and select the new tone
Hi,
ringtone personalisation settings - does not offer SMS ring tone settings.
Any way, it is more tasks I would like to do, but I do not how to change Win /folder/ files.
Does anybody know any tool how to do it?
Thank you.
settings >>> sounds and notifications >>> notifications >>> in the event drop down box select Messaging:New text message then select the previous .wav file you put into the windows folder
silly me - thanks - I have got it.
Thanks again

Hello everyone,
Posting this for my wife,
I've got some problems with her phone...
It's sound related, I don't know how and even why, but her notification sounds, alarm sounds et ringtone sound are always reverting to default ones a few time after setting them to which one she wants.
Sound are on SD card, she doesn't unmount her sd card or something like that.
I even created a sound profile but it changed sound again :'(
Phone is Stock, unrooted, etc. It does the same in gingerbread, and now in ics.
If anyone can help me it would be much much appreciated
Thank you.

Just take a file browser on your phone (Solid Explorer is a really great one) and then just copy & paste Best would be to copy them in /system/media/audio/ and than choose the right folder for your file from /alarms, /notifications or /ringtones

Ok I looked my setup up again and files are still on SD-card Maan this is awkward...
Copy your files to /SD-card/media/audio/ and than choose right folder from /ringtones, /notifications and /alarms
This should definitiely work as it worked for me too
I used to place my own rintones and notifications in a map ringtones and in a map notifications and was able to select the ringtone i want. Since last update i can only select the default ringtones and mp3 from the music list. I dont want my ringtones in my music list. What must i do to get it as it was ?
What do you mean by map ringtones and map notifications?
You must put them on /sdcard/Ringtones and /sdcard/Notifications, but if you don't want them to show in your music app, the only way I know is to put them in /system/media/audio, root needed of course.
Yes i know and i tried it. As mp3 and as ogg file but they dont play or show up in my list of ringtones.
Before the update to v20c i was able to place mp3 files in a map ringtones on my sd card and files would show up in ringtone list, not in music list.
Somehow the update has blocked this option. Only solution now is placing files in music dir on sd card.
Hoped that someone has a better solution
Of course you've restarted the device after copying the files? And I am not sure if it works in the external SD, I know it works in /sdcard.
Ofcourse...

well it depends on what type of music/songs you are placing on the media folders:btw you have to set permissions for each ringtone to r-w-r-r or to 6.4.4 so yeah meaby is just permissions or unsuported file format

Well the ringtone is in mp3, tried also ogg. Files can be played with the default music player, so an issue with file association cant be the issue. Will try setting rights..
But the strange thing is with v20b it still worked, i didnt change anything on the mp3... after the update to v20c the files dont show up in the ringtone list...
Oké, issue solved. Was indeed rights issue. Reset whole dir to 644 and reboted.

Hi,
I'm trying to install sound package which has ringtones and notifications. The files are ogg format.
I figured out how to install notifications. I have to use the built-in Samsung My Files to copy them into the Notifications folder. Then it will be picked up by the phone and I can see them in Settings notification list
However, I can't get the ringtones to show up in Settings ringtone list. I can use the plus button to choose, which shows all notifications as well.
What's the trick to install ringtones on S10?
Thanks

Just copy ringtones into the folder Ringtones! If the folder doesn't exists, make it!

I already did it twice, once with My Files. However, they don't show up in Settings -> Sound -> Ringtones. Instead, I'd have to click on + sign at the top and choose folder.
Does it require a folder structure inside Ringtones folder?
Thanks
Unfortunately, it happens to me all the times I've manually placed files into the Ringtones folder, even on internal storage not external SD. What I found worked reboot many times or use media scanner to refresh
How do I trigger media scanner?
Thanks
