Re: Ringtones for Known and Unknown Callers
Ok, Update and this is where i stand

Ive added the key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Known Caller]
@="Phone: Known Caller"
"Options"=dword:80000000
"Wave"="\Windows\Ring-WindowsMobile.wma"
"DisplayOrder"=dword:00000002
"Duration"=dword:00000001

This shows in the Sounds and Notifications settings as Known Caller

Ive changed

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone]
"DisplayOrder"=dword:00000002 <------ default was "1"
@="Phone: Unknown Caller" <----- Default was "Incomming Call"
"Options"=dword:80000000
"Wave"="\\Windows\\Ring-Innovation.wma"
"Duration"=dword:00000001

these both show in the Sounds and Notifications.

then i navigated too:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\KnownCallerR ing0]

this key allows you to set a ringer for Known Callers that do not have a custom ringer set already in yoru contacts. it was empty so p populated it like this

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\KnownCallerR ing0]
"Sound"="\Windows\Ring-WindowsMobile.wma"
"Category"="Ring"
"Script"="apw3r"

The "Unknown Caller" ringer ringer settings are located here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\RingTone0]
"Sound"="\Windows\Ring-Birds2.wma"
"Category"="Ring"
"Script"="apw3r"

So the problem is. under "Sounds and Notifications" if i change the ringer in one they both change ( both known and unknown callers are still pointing to RingTone0)

now i know that KnownCallersRing0 sets the ring for people in your contacts because i have tested it and it does work. the issue is that i cannot get the Notification "Key" to map back to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\KnownCallerR ing0] rather then
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\RingTone0].

(in simple terms, Known caller and unknown caller map back to the same ringer style and sounds and they shouldn't be. i cannot get the "know Caller" setting to go to KnownCallerRinger0 Via "sounds and Notifications" even though this working you have to change your ringer via reg edit and i want to be able to do it in "sounds and Notifications")

Any one have some insight?
