I'm confused on this one. Today I went to change my ringtone for my text messages and to my surprise I have 2 ringtones for each type. They both work and are both the exact same as the other with its name. Recently I flashed a new bootscreen and the only thing I could think of is this contained media files which flashed as well. But then I am confused why they didn't simply overwrite. I went into my file explorer and navigated to system/media to see if potentially I had two ringtone folders in there, or maybe even just duplicates of each one, but no dice. Its not a huge issue, as I'm sure even if they are doubled up in my memory it can't take up that much space, however knowing they are there is bothering me and I dont wanna start over just because of this lol
I am debating trying to delete the system/media/ringtones folder through adb and seeing what happens. Is there another place a second copy of these bad boys might be hiding out? Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks
EDIT: I just double checked my bootscreen which I flashed and it doesn't contain any of those files. (Didn't think it would, but I'm outta ideas)
EDIT2: Ah HA! Thought I would post that I have found a solution for anyone else who might be interested.. I simply pulled all the notifications/ringtones.. deleted them off the phone.. rebooted.. repushed.. bingo.

I slept through all 3 of the useless sounding alarms id set on my kaiser this morning and iv finally had enough. iv done a search for this and i know i need to convert the sound (song in this case) and put it in the windows directory. I have done this but when i go to the alarm, click on the little bell and scroll down to it, it wont let me select the song/sound i want. Each time i try to select it, it just changes to default and plays the 'ding'.
is there any way round this? (i dont want to pay for any alarm software)
thanks
edit:excuse the spelling in the title
A) What file format are you dropping in the \Windows directory?
B) How big is the file? Stock AT&T ROMs have size limits defined in the registry for ringtones and other sounds.
thanks for the response.
The file is a .wav file and it is around 38.1mb in size. Think that might be my problem, never realised the file was so big!

That is a little big . I would try cropping it down to 3MB or less and trying again.
hey guys.
Just a simple request to those who you have the time to do so.
I recently installed Gtrab's W4X WM6.5 Cooked Rom but didn't realise it had a lot of the ringtones included with the xperia missing.
I've searched the forums and found the odd file containing ringtones taken from handsets but they are different tones.
Could you please copy and zip all the ringtones from the Windows folder from a default Xperia rom and upload it to the internet for me please
Cheers,
Hyped
I need them too. can somebody please post them?
Thank you
Press me softly....
Thank you for your help, however, unfortunately, these are not the ringtones I need.
I'm not sure where they're saved but there are some ringtones called like Alarm1, Alarm2, Alarm3 and such. And it's in this location I need the ringtones. I think they are scattered throughout the Windows folder admist the system files.
So, could you possible collect and zip these please

but, yes, since I installed the news version, no more ringtone from the first Xperia, and, one I miss dearly

but, I saw your file and nice, it is here...For me, seems you posted the softly good one..
Big thanks, but, now, the next step...I think, we need to open the registry somehow, to insert the ring tone we really crave for it, and I think it must be a post somewhere, but, where....

Extract the rar file on your computer, connect device via active sync, once syncing click "explore" and your my documents folder should be visible, move the extracted mp3 ringtones to this folder. Hope that helps
Thx
But does anybody have also the ringtones for sms ?
There is one ringtone, i really miss on the ROM´s, but i do not remember the name
Its gonna be difficult if you don't have the name. I used dreamland on the stock rom.
the ringtones used by the sms tone are stored in the windows root folder, can u upload them ?

I flashed energy rom so i don't have the stock ones at hand
There is a thread or two around here somewhere with a link to all the OEM ringtones / sounds etc. I'm not sure what it was titled though.
It was a rar file and nearly 38mB in size.
:edit Found it. I used the top secret 'Search' button. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526164
thx guys
Btw. the rington was Meadow
Beat me to it Steve_TLS
sweet. thx for the help here. not that ringtones are hard to come by but there was a ringtone i really liked to use and now im used to itl lol. when there is a different tone ringing i dont always notice its MY phone hahah.
so I forgot how to set up the folders in my SD card to make my own notification/ringtones/alarm rings. does anyone remember? thanks!
I'm pretty sure that if you run a search you'll find it...
However you just need to make a "media" folder on the root of your SD Card, then an "audio" one. Then you can dump the rest of your files there in folders, like alarms, notifications etc.
EDIT: If this answers your question could you please put in [SOLVED] in the title of the post so people know/it can be closed. Thanks.

yup. i remember when all i had to do was just create a folder in the root of sd and would show up...but i guess now i have to do media -> audio ->notification/ring tone. thaank you.
No worries. I remember when I first got my G1 I was wondering why it wasn't working as well, all before the craze of rooting and that was available. I think even in the G1 manual it states that you needed to create folders for it to pick up. Its a long time ago though since I last looked at it!
Like the title says. I put them in a couple places already. But still can't get them to work. Last i tryed I put them in, ADWLauncher>res>mdpi
Thanks
would also be interested in this... i like the wallpaper gallery for choosing the ... choices.
I suppose if i knew what folder contained them I could just move them?
well to get ringtones on the phone you put them in media/audio/ringtones. So the wallpaper gallery might go into /media/pictures/wallpaper(s) or /media/wallpaper(s). That would be my guess
that would be great, if those folders existed, but they dont.
I know there must be some place the WPs that came with this ROM are stored, not on the SD card... the wallpaper gallery is accessing something... somewhere...
but i'll be ****ed if I can find it.
probably total obvious n00b mistake, i'm sure, but I am stumped.
I had to make the media folder for the ringtones. Search how to put custom ringtones on android. My guess is the wallpaper gallery would be done in the same fashion
Sorry to tell you guys you are wrong. I know for a fact it has to be in the Launcher.apk (or what ever launcher you are useing.
If you put it in there and rename the image to one of the other images in there it will work. kinda a work around.
Does anyone have one of these, and if so, how far have you gotten in building new personalities? I would love to be able to edit the text files to control the sprites, but don't know how. Last I heard several years ago android78 was working on an editor to do this, but has since disappeared. I know how to change the mp3's, and rebuild the .vivo file, that's not the hard part. Those dang text files are. I am not even sure what they are written in. To me it doesn't even resemble any languages I have come across. Anyone out there? This thing would be bad to the bone with completely new personalities since Wowwee gave up on it too soon!
I just picked one up @ goodwill and agree it would be super cool. Unfortunately, mine has no files on it at all (the drive is blank when I plug in the USB cable) so it stays at "loading" with the progress bar at 0 even with a fresh vivo file in there. Does yours load a personality? If so, do you mind letting me know if there are more files in there besides the vivo?
If I can get mine to work I bet I could get some of the dev's at work to figure out the text file.
Thanks.
The original file was called Max_Simon.vivo. If yours has no files, try getting the Mr. Personality software from the Wowwee website, and then the original file and push it back onto him via USB and the software. I looked and all I could see are the .vivo files. The .vivo files can easily be seen if you rename it to a .zip and extract it. Before loading though it needs to be changed back. That's how I was able to work with the .mp3 files, but it does take the software to push it back onto him and then go into settings to pick a personality to load. If it is the only personality it should load automatically if the file is original and not corrupted. If you need either of the files, let me know and I will post them for you. That would be awesome to get someone to take a look at these files and let us know what we need to do. I know there are a lot of people out there with these sitting in closets because of the great support they threw and it, not. It's up to us now!

Holy crap, I thought I was the only one who had this issue! Mine's been down for nearly 5 years by now; I happened to shut Mr. P off in the middle of recording a voice memo, and when I turned him back on he had the exact same symptoms with the loading screen as you mentioned. Now I made a topic on Robocommunity shortly after but all that was suggested in that thread didn't work at all. I don't know if I was doing anything wrong but after all this time it still doesn't work. It really disappoints me because this is actually a really cool robot that I always wanted to load up with my own personalities... and then it conks out.
If anyone could help figure out how to get this guy working, I'd be really grateful.
I know this is an old thread, but would appreciate anybody leading me to the Mr Personality software and the default voices for Max and Simon, as wowwee no longer lists these on their site. Thanks!
I got one and connect to my pc.There are some files of Max and Simon.I try to find some more personality files online,but failed. Is there anyone have them?Thanks.my email is mrmm[email protected]
