all, I have googled to my hearts content and I am unsucessful. I have seen and used applications to add mp3's as ringtones on my 8125. But they have always been cooked into the rom by various people. I am playing with the WM6 rom, I have started clean and am adding the items which I want/need to make my phone useable for me. Can someone please point me in the right direction for this application, or an application like it?
Thanks
Not sure if i understood you correctly, but i am guessing you just want to use an mp3 as your ringtone.
If this is correct, connect your device to your computer using Activesync, and then navigate to: \Windows\Rings and then place your mp3 files in that folder.
Once you've done this you will now be able to use that mp3 as your ringtone by going to Settings ~ Phone ~And where it says Ring Tone[\b] select the ring tone you just added to your phone.
Hope that's what you needed help with.
I put all my ringtones in \Storage Card\My Documents.
When you put it in there, no need for copying it to \Windows\Rings.

I understood about adding them to the folder. I have seen apps in some of the cooked roms that facilitate this. They show a list of all the mp3's and wav's and then it moves them for you. That is what I was looking for. I moved a couple of mp3's manually, but I was looking for an application to do it for me.
I'm new to the Wizard 8125 and i'm trying to figure out how to use ringers besides the ones that come on the phone. Can i upload songs or download of the internet?
any song. mp3 or wma
if you have a sd card . just tap and hold the mp3 or wma file song you want . and tap ( set as ringtone ) in the window
this will automatically add the song to your ringtones Folder in the main memory of your phone
good luck.
yes, but that only works for ringtones
not for notices such as incomming messages, or missed call notifications....etc
on a fluke however, i have a wav file (of homer simpson screaming woohoo) that DID end up in the menu for incomming messages notifications and such... so my question is, is there a certain criteria for custom soundfiles to work as something other than a ringtone?
anyone? anyone at all?
I use PhoneAlarm to do this. I am not sure how to do this through registry or know of a freeware app but I do know phoneAlarm does a very good job of this.

The way i do is copy the sound from you mc card use file explorer then go into windows on your phone scroll to the bottom of the folder then press with the styles then paste then it will be there when you set the alarm hope that helps
Ringers-alarms-n text,emails-ext
Yes the ringer 4 the cell does work on mem crd by tap hold n set as ringer as far as alarms n text n blah blah the have to b WAV files or u can copy n paste it under windows to the main phone mem. n that will work !!!
PERFECT
you just need to copy the file under the windows folder... thank you!
Hi,
Is there anyway I can change the alarm tone to something of my own i.e. mp3 one?
thanks
Hi,
For me, I just convert the format of mp3 or wma (whatever format) to .wav format.
After that, just paste it into the windows folder.
Your song should then appear in the alarm menu.
Hope this helps
Hi,
thanks for the reply.
I have converted the file and placed in the hidden windows folder on the X1, do i need to rename the file same as the alarm file? as i don't see an option to select a different alarm tone on the X1.

Tap the "bell" icon on the alarm page to change the tones.

Copy mp3-music file to the phone or memory card--> Use File Explorer to locate the musicfile-->Press _long_ on the file --> Select "Set as ringtone".
Edit: My bad. You were talkin' about the notification alarm...
just to let everyone know that you will have to convert the mp3 it to windows pcm wav for it work.
Could anyone just check this out?
The X1 stock roms come with a few different alarm sounds Alarm1,2,3,4,5 - 2 and 5 are .wav's but 1,3,4 are .wma's. In the alarms where you can choose the sound you should be able to choose any of those 1-5, as im using a custom rom, I can only choose the 2 and 5 which are .wav's.
Would anyone mind checking this? It would be appreciated.
I made a tutorial.
Here I will show you how to make a custom alarm (for the wakeup alarm). Note that this is not the same as a ringtone (Normal ringtones can be MP3, alarms cannot.)
1) Get Audacity: Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
2) Open your favorite sound/song with Audacity.
3) Set Project Rate to 11025 kHz (at the bottom)
4) Select (mark) the section you want as an alarm with the marker tool (default tool).
5) Choose Edit->Trim
6) Choose Mix -> Split Stereo tracks (the dropdown in the box)
7) Choose Mix1->Mono
8) Choose Mix2->Mono
9) Choose Track->Resample->11025kHz
10) Choose Track->Mix and Render
11) Choose File->Export Selection
12) Type in a filename (.wav) and then OK, OK.
13) Copy the file the Windows/ on your phone and select it in the alarms screen. It works for me.
Notes:
*) Alarms have to be in the following format:
- 32bit floating point WAV
- 11025kHz
- Mono
**) Alarms have to be in the Windows/ folder.
****) You do ABSOLUTLY NOT want the whole song as an alarm! The filesize is huge (~20MB for one song in alarm format, as it is uncompressed. And because the Windows folder is on the device, you can't put it on the memory card.
*****) You can preview the selection if you click play. there are also useful tools such as Zoom in for more detail, fade effects etc. Just be bold and experiment a bit. Fade out for example will take your selection and fade it.
Greetings.
I was seriously disapointed when I found out that my new (first of mine) SMARTphone couldn't do several things that were absoutely elemtary with all my old SILLYphones. Why the hell can't I use the .mp3 as wake up alarm why the do I have to mess around with those .wav files?!
And when I've found a sutable alarm tone then when it rings the snooze options for 5, 10, 15 min are sooo small that it is rather impossible to hit the right one with fuzzy head at morning. I have to admit I've overslept twise because of that.
Luckily it's a SMARTphone and we don't have to stick with the "great" development work from M$ - thees guys probably never have to wake up because they are always at work
So I downloaded an app caled g-alarm that adds a funn element to the waiking process - you have to complete a maze to snooze the alarm.
I thing better idea is to instal g-alarm. It's free, you can set mp3 as alarm tone and it has lots of other functions. Stock alarm sucks in fact, even in new manila where it has more friendly interface.
Weird

My dear fellow from Switzerland, I just downloaded the Audacity, and, no more 11025 Khz, just 8000, 16000, 22500, and the usual 44100, mind you when I do work with wav files with Samplitude I use the format 48000......But, I found it.....thanks Audacity is improving a lot.... have a nice....
Got audacity is great on music,only on moviesound it stalls.
Mediacoder is a great alternative though.
It has transcode features for i phone and PSP (and 3GP mob phone edition for most other phones)
With Mediacoder(free),i rip the sound out of movie files into WAV.,
and trim them with audacity.
When i receive sms it's Arnold saying 'I'll be back'.
It's only few kb and you can make all ringtones/smstones yourself.
Ringtones should not be longer than 30 sec,wich is the max time my provider gives me until voicemail,so all over 30 secs is waste of space.
I use the stock alarm app. It is simple and functional .
Where are the alarms

how to paste .wav file in windows folder?
This is weird! I created my .wav file and uploaded it to my phone.
Then tried copying and pasting it to windows folder. First I just right clicked on the windows folder but there is no paste option. Then I opened the windows folder and tried pasting in there but whenever I try right clicking inside the windows folder it automatically selects a file within the folder and does not let me paste the new file.
Is their something I missing? How do I paste this file in windows folder??
Please let me know.
Thanks.
To edit your Windows Folder, you have to use a 3rd-party app like Resco File Explorer or Total Comamnder. The standard WM file explorer won't let you change anything in that folder (or edit read-only files, change ROM files, etc.)
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
So, any .mp3 can be copied to the Windows/Rings directory and be used as a ringtone, but using a full song is most likely too long and takes up too much storage.
The first thing you’ll want to do to create a ringtone out of one of your favorite songs is to truncate just that part you want as your ringtone. First, go here to download Audacity (free) off of sourceforge:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Once you’ve downloaded and installed Audacity, you’ll need a copy of lame_enc.dll to encode your own MP3s. You can find lame_enc.dll (free) here:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?lame_enc
I've attached a copy of the .dll, but I wasn't sure of the posting rules for attachments so I'll also provided a URL to d/l from. Maybe I should read the xda-developers forum rules...
Put the .dll file somewhere unobtrusive, but also somewhere you’ll remember it as Audacity will prompt you to specify the location of lame_enc.dll when you attempt to encode an MP3.
Next, launch Audacity, click on File -> Open, and open up the MP3 you want to create a ringtone out of. The interface is fairly intuitive, and the only advice I can give here is to click on View -> Zoom In multiple times in order to see the part of the song you want to clip out paying attention to the time markers for the beginning and ending of your clip. You should shoot for a clip that's about 15-20 seconds long. Anything shorter will repeat (not necessary a bad thing depending on the clip), and anything longer just wastes precious, precious main memory storage.
Now, swipe the song between the two time markers. Next, click on Edit -> Copy (if you’re sure what you swiped is what you want, alternatively you can click on File -> Export Selection As MP3).
Finally, click on File -> New, then click on Edit -> Paste, and click on File -> Export As MP3. You will now be prompted for the location for lame_enc.dll, and after you provide that your .mp3 will be created.
Next, sync up your Fuze/Diamond/HTC “whatever” and copy your .mp3 to Windows/Rings. Now you can go into Contacts and in the All People view you can click on Edit to specify your new song ringtone for individual people, or go to Settings/Personal/Sounds & Notifications to set your song ringtone as a default ringtone for all calls.
This thread is pretty useful, though sounds a bit complicated, but thank you anyways
You can put your *.mp3 ringtones here:
\Internal Storage\My Documents
You will be able, to assign ringtones to your contacts, too.
