Alarm Clock Customized Ringtones???

[joe00]

Hi,

I have tried almost every way possible to add my own ringtones to the Alarm Clock but can't. My custmoized ringtones show up for the Reminders, Text, Missed Calls etc. but not in the Clock options.

Have tried both WAV and MP3 files. Nothing works! Help Please!!!

Where are you putting these custom ringtone files?

Have tried every location I can think of. Both on device and card. It seems the Ringtones for Alarm Clock are hard coded. Searched for them in Registry as well. Also Tried to rename Alarm-Classic to something else and tried renaming mine to it and still doesn't work!

I think you need to put files inside "/windows" directory and also need to be .wav format.

Yep, if you go in to the root of the Windows directory and look for the alarms that exist, just match their WAV properties, and you should be good to go on your customized alarms.

I tried putting in root of windows directory. What do you mean matching the wav properties? Will mp3 format work? Has any one been able to install their own ringtones for Alarm Clock? Any help appreciated!

I would save my slef the headache and get G-Alarm. I am not sure why MS/HTC can't put a usable alarm clock on the phones.

I know if you search hard enough there is a free version floating around too. i think V1.5 is free to use and newer versions cost about $7 U.S. but well worth it

Works!!!! Only with wav files! Tried a 40mb file with no problems! Thanks!!!!!

Right. You can't simply rename the extension of a MP3 file to WAV and expect Windows Mobile to work with it. It has to be a true, uncompressed sound file (WAV) in order for it to recognize it in the alarms list.

btw, I tried using a shortcut with the "Alarm-Myname.wav" naming convention but that wont work. Tried to do this to save space on device.
