Ringtones for Known and Unknown Callers

Also, did you ever get a reg dump from one of our fellow geekers from a Mogul? If not, I have a friend in Texas who can (and happliy will) get us one...

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

Above sets ringer for Known callers in your contact list that DO NOT already have a custom ringer

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RoamingRing0]
"Sound"="\Windows\Ring-Birds2.wma"
"Category"="Ring"
"Script"="apw3r"

Above sets ringer for calls receiver while roaming

Note: set up both keys the way you see it. change "Sound" to a different ringer file to change ring tone.

i wish i could get this to work with the "sounds and notifications" GUI

you may need to create the whole key or just some of the entries. also no space in KnownCallerRinger0. the forum just puts a space in there and i cannot stop it

Thanks Jug! You never said... so I need to get a hold of my buddy in Texas for a reg dump from a Mogul for you?

Any updates on this? I would love a custom Text notification sound.

im unsure what your asking for,

anyways i have Graciously asked ghettofreeryder for a hand since he has a device we can poke around on to steal these settings from.

im close but we just haven't had free time as of late to look into it.

dont worry i have not forgotten about this. just benched it for some time.

If I understand what you are asking for, this one is easy. Get a wav or wma file that you want for text messages. Put it on your phone in the "Windows" folder. Go to settings Sounds and notifications. Click on the notifications tab and select "message new text message" on the event tab. Go to the ring tone tab and select the sound you put in your Windows folder. If it doesn't work, it's most likely because the sound file is too big. Compress it to no more than 32 kbps. You can do that in moviemaker or some other program.

I've got a Monty Python sound for incoming text messages and a Star Trek sound for incoming email messages.

Hope I understood what your asking for so I don't get flamed.
