Ringtones for Known and Unknown Callers

[Mr. X]

i cannot get it to call the correct ringer. i NEED a HKCU reg dump from an htc device that suppirs these ringer types guys... some one save the day!!

Does this help:

At the w06 registry, at HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/RingTone0/ you can
set the default phone ringtone.
At the HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/KnownCallerRing0/ you can set the
ringtone for your contacts.

So, by default, the "sounds and notifications" control panel is just setting up "RingTone0"
Go there, set the ringer up the way you want it for Known callers (callers in your contacts list without caller-specific ringtones) and then, in a registry editor, copy all the stuff in RingTone0 into KnownCallerRing0. Now go back into the sounds and notifications CP, and change the ringer to something else. That will be used for *unknown* calls, while the other ringer (the one you set first) will be used for known calls, unless the contact has a ringer, in which case *that* ringer will be used.

Make sense? It has to, it's from Microsoft

yes! i will try that.

i was trying to get the "roaming" ringer going too

I think this mentions the same thing, just worded a bit different. But I have no clue, just trying to help...

"Here are the registry settings for UNKNOWN callers.

Set your normal ringtone from the Sounds panel, browse to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\KnownCallerRing0 and make sure your Sound string points to the file you want. Now go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtone0 and change Sound to point to a different file. Wait 10 seconds, soft reset et voila.

To test it, I removed my home number and called my device, rings with the unknown caller. Re-add your number and it will ring with the known tone."

Does HTC even make a device that does it?

Either way, nice work all of you so far...

i was under the understanding that the mogul was able to do this

[rainfreak]

I don't remember anymore. Would be nice if it did and one of our fellow geekers with a Mogul hooked us up with a reg dump though

[Mr. X]

i asked in the mogul section

on a side note. i found a bunch of cool notification settings you can tweak. like the duration of the led flashing

[rainfreak]

Cool.. I assume that you will be sharing those?
