2. Notifications: Is there a way to get a custom ringtone as a notification so thats what I hear when I get a text for example? I figured out custom tones for Contacts but not notifications.
I've tried setting it as a contact ringtone first and that didn't work, and trying to move it from the sd card to system/audio/notifications didn't work either

thanks

I am using an app from Android Market called Rings Extended. I placed a folder on my storage card and named it Ring tones and when using rings extended it automatically recognizes that fold and lets me use those for all my notifications. I hope this helps.

As for your second question. If you don't already know there is an update for HTC sync. And it gives pretty good instructions to set up.

no i'm not worried about getting specific notifications per contact i just want to use a sound for notifications that isn't in HTC's list
