CUSTOM RINGTONES FOR CONTACTS OFF SD CARD

EDIT Warning awarner

One important thing to be careful of though, If you removed the SD card and the phone was to ring and it needs the tone it may well crash.

Worse case senario is the phone may need a Hard Reset to recover.

EDIT Warning By Midnight

This tweak was found over 6 months ago, and was found to be severely flawed, the main flaw being that if you go into sounds after doing this tweak the phone locked up, and it was common for the phone to hard reset itself, and was the reason it hasnt been mentioned since.

Oh, and another thing, with the original tweak contacts dont have to be on the SIM card. I had this reset my phone several times in testing.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

I HAVE FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.

01. FIRST CREATE A FOLDER ON THE SD CARD NAMED SOUNDS

02. COPY ALL THE SOUNDS FROM WINDOWS TO THIS FOLDER (FOR YOUR ALARM SETTINGS AND SYSTEM SOUNDS)

03. PLACE YOU CUSTOM RINGTONES IN THIS FOLDER

04. OPEN YOUR REGISTRY EDITOR, GO TO CURRENT USER CONTROL PANEL SOUND CATEGORIES

05. HERE YOU NEED TO CHANGE ALL THE DIRECTORY VALUES FROM WINDOWS TO STORAGE CARDSOUNDS

06. NEXT YOU MUST COPY ALL CONTACTS YOU WANT TO HAVE A CUSTOM RING TO YOUR SIM CARD.

07. SELECT CUSTOM RINGTONES FOR CONTACTS AND BA-DA-BING BA-DA-BOOM!

PRETTY GOOD FOR A FIRST POST BY AN AMERICAN NEWBIE

Not a bad effort for a first post, for your second and subsequent ones though can you try it with the CAPSLOCK off :D It really pisses off some people here, including a moderator who will remain unnamed. (unless he jumps in a gives you a warning :) )

jawane nice guide :D

It's an old fix but will make this a sticky for this section.

One inportant thing to be careful of though, on the SPV etc if you removed the SD card and the phone was to ring and need the tone it may well crash.

And shuflie members are asked not to shout, but they are not given a warning for it unless they don't listen :)

So the whole objective is not to remove the sd/mmc card while the fone is on. and as well not to on the phone without the same sd/mmc card inside.

another simple way for those who have more than 1 sd/mmc. u can still put the same tones in both mmc/sd? then no matter what the connection for the tones will always be there. and u wont have to worry abt phone crashing?

only make a folder on the storage card called "My Documents" copy your ringtones on this folder, that's it...

no reg. edit...

That does not work for custom ringtones.

Actually yes, placing your custom midi/wav ringtones in the My Documents folder in the memory storage does work. When you place the wav files in there, then they appear as options when you go to settings/sounds, and select which sounds you want to assign for misc. functions.

Yes, it's common knowledge you can do this with standard sounds, but this thread is about custom ring tones - individual, contact by contact ring tones that you can assign in the contact details and you then get when that person rings. When choosing these you do NOT get presented with the sounds you have stored on the SD card.

when i put the wavs in it & select then as tones they just beep and dont

The files you are selecting are not compatable, hence the beep.

WAVs need be formatted PCM 22,050 Hz, 8 Bit, Mono Windows Sound Recorder can convert to this for you.

How come when I try to use a .wma as a personal ringtone it says "This ring tone is not working properly? You may want to choose a different one to use." Any body come across this?
