I have performed BigStorage and would like to know the reg hack to change the location for ringtones from \windows\rings to \Storage\Rings. I have tried but failed and searching this site has proved fruitless. I sure it can be done and have seen one forum which mentioned doing but not how!!!
here you are DMan
Hkey_current_user\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring
change the Directory from \windows\Rings to \Storage\Rings
Thanks Shams99 but that is the one I thought it was when looking so have changed that but when I then try to add a music file by "right click" and select "set as ring tone" it copies this file to the default \windows\rings. Am I being stupid? please tell me I am so there is a simple answer :lol: but include instructions :wink:
I also set this and soft reset just incase!
Can't move rings to storage
I'm having trouble pointing to \Storage Card\Rings as well. I have windows mobile 5.0 k-jam. I modified the registry setting for
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring and changed the directory from \Windows to \Storage Card. I've confirmed that a Rings folder exists in \Storage Card. When I go in to phone options and try to change the ring tone, it's still looking in to \Windows\Rings for ring tones and not \Storage Card\Rings.
Does anyone know what could be the problem here?
Thanks!
It works for me, did you soft-reset after the registry change?
oltp,
Yes i did a soft reset. I've also verified after the reset the settings in the registry. The changes indeed are there. However, the phone application doesn't show the contents of \Storage Card\Rings\. Instead it still shows the contents of \Windows\Rings\.
Very strange, what's your rom version?
no problem on mine.
dude,u can never set the ring path to your sd card 'cause when you turn off your phone,the electricity supply of SD card will be cut off.So every time it rings,windows is unable to read the ringtone file.
so just copy the ringtone to your storage,never be on sd.
cheers

Well, after trying this tweak for almost a week now....I have discovered something VERY interesting....I have a Dopod 818Pro (HTC Prophet) running WM5. I tried like hell to get this tweak to work for almost a straight week now and it just WOULD NOT work. Well, quite by accident I realized that I had copies of my ringtones on the SD card to begin with and lo' and behold, it works on it's own!!!! I'm not sure if this is something to do with WM5 or the way Dopod conditioned the OS for their use, but it does work all on its own WITHOUT doing a reg tweak. I now have all my ringtones stored on the SD Card (not in a folder) and several contacts have their own ringtone assigned and each and every time I get a call from one of those contacts (whether the phone is on or not), the phone rings with that contacts ringtone!!!! VERY Cool!!!
BTW my registry string looks like this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound Categories\Ring\Directory\Windows\
Just thought I would share!!

It is said to be very important to add the trailing "\" to the registry value. So change the value to "\Storage Card\Rings\" or whatever it is you want. But just as said before, it is a bad idea to store Ringtones on Storage Card. Just donate a few kbytes of your BigStorage and you will be fine. You can also convert your mp3 to wma which takes even less space and the audio quality is almost the same (at least on the small speaker we are talking about). If you need Hi-Fidelity ringing from your phone, pay the London Symphonic orchestra to follow oyu arond
how you change the registri?
Hi how you change the reg. i didnt test it on wm5 thanks a lot guys
1.Hkey_current_user\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring
change the Directory from \windows\Rings to \Storage\Rings
2.Hkey_current_user\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall
change the Directory from \windows\ to \Storage\
javascript:emoticon('')
After doing the reg tweak, when u ppl do the "set as ringtone" thing, it displays something like: copied ringtone to \windows\rings. Right....
Well its a bug in the program....the program actually copies it to the location specified in the registry, but displays a default msg which must have been preset by the programmer...must say bad programming...
but anyway useful program....
try it out....apply the reg tweak....the set a file as ringtone...and go to the directory u entered in the registry...and presto...
faysalshoaib you indeed are right, as you say dont worry about the message, this is red herring. I was doing the classic mistake of believing the message, doh.... it work as you say. Thanks for replies and effort.

Yup this works for me too. Simply put the ringtone into the directory \Storage\ and viola, you can select the ringtone from the pulldown menu of ringtones within the "Sounds and Notifications" application.
No need to perform any registry hack. This is on a JAMin.
Ringtones on the Storage Card without any tweaks
in WM5, if you put your MID or MP3 files on the root of the storage card or in if you create a folder on your storage card called My Documents and put the MID and MP3 files there, then they will automatically be found by the OS as available ringtones. This worked in pre 2.x and post 2.x builds.
No Reg Tweaking necessary.
There is a simple solution
1) One can use Photo Contacts so that one can store Rings on one's SD card any folder.
2) One can keep the mp3 and mid files open on SD card(Not in any folder) these are well recognised in the Ringtone selection box of the phone settings.
Change ringtones to Storage?
There is simple way!! Down RESCO FILE EXPLORER to your Magician. WM2003 is not registtry available. You can do it so easy!!
its "Storage Card" and not "\Storage Card\" on my device.

Hi,
I have just installed tomtom 5 on my pda. looks good. I have changed my home location and added some favourites and changed some POI. if i exit out of tomtom and then go back in, all my changes are lost.
Does anyone know why and if there is a way to get round this??
Thanks in advance
H
thats weird, i have no problem with my tom tom and its cracked, are you using a legit one? and how have you installed the files, did you put the files on the defult directory being your mmc and not in folders?? if you are not using legit one you might have to download another one else where or download it again.

You do exit in the correct way dont you?
Make sure all the files are not 'read only'...
yes I exit the correct way. how do I check if the files are read only?? and if they are, how do I change them??

hamzar,
Make sure your SD card is not locked, and delete the (map_name).cfg file in the map folder. Next time you start tomtom, the file is recreated. Should sort it, jobs a good'un, etc.

Hello,
This has got me pulling my hair out of my already balding head !.
I have TomTom Nav 6 on an old Pocket PC (HP 2210), and the full 7-digit postcode search works perfectly on it.
I loaded the very same software onto my Himalaya and i cannot for the life of me get the full 7-digit postcode search !. It defaults to 3/4 figure postcode (e.g. DH8).
I have searched through various forums and have even installed a fullpostcode.cab (for the UK) file and it still doesn't work !!.
I also put an empty "Tomtom" folder in the navigator folder (as suggested on various forums), this again didn't work !
I know if i install TomTom Nav 6 on the Himalaya's main memory then this would probably solve the problem, but i cannot as i don't have enough room on the Himalaya (i have tried deleting other progs, but it doesn't free up enough space !). I threrfore have to install it on the 1GB SD card (but this is EXACTLY the same setup as on my HP Ipaq 2210, and it works great on there !!!)
The 7-digit postcode feature DID work for a while a few nights back, but then stopped working the day after! (so i know it IS possible for it to work properly on there!).
Can anyone please suggest what i could do because the 7-digit postcode lookup feature is much more useful since i prefer searching using the full postcode facility.
Best Regards,
Andrew
what version of tomtom 6 is it, you are running. Have you tried the latest version http://rapidshare.com/files/91182629/ttn_6_032_8351.cab
try that and see if it fixes your problem
Cheers for the quick reply, it's version 6.000. Thing is i have the very same version of Tomtom on my Ipaq2210, installed on a SD card etc, and it works perfectly on there, so cannot figure out why it's not working on the Himalaya. Also the fact that the full postcode search worked fine the other night, then just stopped working makes me wonder !
Regards,
Andrew
do you have the zip folder on the card the postcode data is in that folder ?
yeah, the zip is in the SD folder where all the other files are, as is the "Tomtom" empty folder (which was suggested by some people). The same structure as what's on the Ipaq2210 (whick works fine !!)
Regards
Andrew
try the new version i posted and see if that works, i have the full postcode working fine on the sd card
Hello, the version you uploaded won't work for me. It produces the error "Unable to start, an exception occurred: memory Access Violation" after running it upon installation !
Best Regards
Andrew
well i would assume that ,that is the problem, memory restrictions, as you dont have enough ram available and that is why it is only allowing you 5 postcodes instead of 7. As i have said i have it working fine on an xda 2. Using that cab i posted
i can remember people having this postcode file on their SD card and working fine tho !, just don't know why it doesn't work with mine, or why it worked one night on it then from then on it hasn't !!
Cheers,
Andy
Don't know if you have sorted this out but - The zip file normaly has to be placed in the same folder as the program file, but it will work if it is left on the SD card with a shortcut back to the program folder. This gives you a bit more room in the PDA memory.
I forgot to mention that the tomtom cab i posted is only for WM5
For Clarity on this one...
I had exactly same problem on Kaiser, postcode and voices worked one minute, then not the next.
To get it working I moved the voices folder to the PDA itself (Navigator Folder) not a size issue for me as i only moved 'Jane' data05.vif and chk
I then deleted the configuration file (collected.ini) in the voices folder, this means you then have to reselect voice in preferences.
Also moved the 'zip' folder to Navigator folder on the Kaiser.
All ok now.. HTH

Hello together!
After installing TomTom on my HD2 the internal Bluetooth-function doesn´t work...as far as I know it is recommended to rename/delete the following files to fix this issue:
BTTrayCE.exe, BtSdkCE30.dll and BtCoreIf.dll
But in fact I can´t rename/delete any of these files...tried with windows explorer, TotalCommander and the HD2 Explorer (I don´t know if they are in use?! according to the task mangager they aren´t)
So could anybody please upload these 3 files from a working HD2 Device?
I renamed BtSdkCE30.dll and deleted BtCoreIf.dll.
For some reason BtSdkCE30.dll was in use, but I was able to rename it.
As far as I know you leave BTTrayCE.exe the way it is.
Done with Total Commander btw.
Maybe restart your HD2 if you can't even rename them, then try again before doing anything else.
Tomtom doesn't list the software as compatible with the HD2...
So i can imagine none of you did buy it and all use a not compatible cracked version. tttttttttttttttt
So now enjoy the dark side !!!!!!

this works with almost any problem situation with tomtom...
preferable, install to memorycard on another device, then run tomtom from card without installing it, cause you put all the files on memorycard already... yes i did buy it for my touch pro...
If you are installing with a cab file,
Install in your storage card and hard reset.
Now, don't install again.Copy tomtomnavigator.exe from program folder in storage card and place a shorcut in windows programs folder.

It's working well on my HD2 without issues.
Hey there!! First, thank you for your answers!
Well, i really don´t want to make a hard reset!! TomTom itself runs very well on the device (and it runs on my device too), my only problem is that the bluetooth will not work as long as these three files have not been deleted or rather been exchanged with the untouched files .
Let me explain that: If files have been deleted, the HD2 will restore them from the rom automaticly after a reboot and everything is fine. Most people who had to handle with the same problem (TomTom vs. Bluetooth) had success with this method, but a few devices deny the access on these files, so they can´t be deleted or renamed. So is mine.
And for this reason I asked for the original files from a working rom! It would make it possible for me to replace my corrupt files...
Has anybody of you guys a few minutes of time an wants to upload the three files please?
It would really make my day!!

If device deny access to files, they cannot be renamed or deleted, you cannot replace them with other files too... (do you tried Resco Explorer?)
I have made a personalized cab of TomTom Navigator which doesn't install the bluetooth-specific files. If needed I can upload it somewhere and give you the link via PM

You mean the device ID?
You can open the ttnavigator.bif with notepad in your PC for the device details.
How I fixed the problem
I had the same problem, so I deleted the three files with resco. Two of the files will "appear" not to be deleted because they are ROM files. The important thing is that you need to have a shortcut to BTTrayCE.exe in \Windows\Startup.
Thanks for the posts!
As I said, it´s not possible to delete the files in my case...thats why i want some original files to exchange them.
...Is nobody out there how wants to upload these three little files for me? ...
I had this, All I did was launch TC, goto \windows do a select bt* delete all files, and it fails to delete most of them, but soon as I did that BT came back to life....
I can't help with the missing files as my device has still to arrive but I read that installing version 7.915.9196 VGA from HTC Iolite works without the bluetooth problem.
hey guys i could really use that bluetooth file.. i sorta messed it up too with the tom tom...
Hey Londontownguy:
Thanks for your suggestion! But as i said above, i really don´t want to hard reset. And the 7.915.9196 VGA from HTC Iolite doesn´t contain the "healthy" files, so an installation without hardreset doesn´t fix the problem.
Now we are two people including phatjesus81...andagain:
...Is nobody out there how wants to upload these three little files?...
myeah..
i cant start my bluetooth anymore because last week after installing tomtom7 i got the error and baleeted BTTrayCE.exe somewhere , even though it is in my \windows\ folder together with the btcore and btsdkce50 dlls.. cant remove those..
so BBTrayCE.exe is in my windows folder right now , and bluetooth wont start.. does that have anything to do with the other two dll's still being there or am i a booboo?
i mean, i totally removed ttn..
so now i'm totally stuck..
Hello All,
I have recently got TomTom Navigator and I have the North American map loaded up nicely, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the voices loaded.
I downloaded the Ozzy Swearing voice, and got the 3 necessary files I need, but I put them in every damn folder that has to do with TomTom and still no available voices show up in the application?
First, I created a folder called "Voices" on the root of the storage card, as I was instructed to do, but that didn't work.
Second, I went to Storage Card-->Program Files-->Navigator-->Sounds, and put the 3 files there. Still nothing.
Third, I found "TomTom" folder at My Device-->TomTom. I didn't create this folder, so i assume the app created it on the install. Anyways I put the 3 files there and again nothing.
Fourth, I went to My Device-->My Documents and created "TomTom" folder and dumped the 3 files in that folder. One forum said this might work, and it didn't unfortunately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the current version and map pack I am using on my HTC HD2.
TomTom Navigator v7.910.9185
TomTom Maps of North America v8.45.2647
you have to put a \navigator\voices into the dir.
you download for ex voices from here laurusbuth.nl/tomtom up you go
ps: after hours of looking and searching and trying, i've managed to get these to work
google for : TTN7.916.9192_VGA_Black (cab) and Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB_840_2563

Hey the original didn't have a voice folder by default. The voice folder is created after adding your first voice. Just thought you should know.
Buy the original software from tomtom website and you'll see the difference ...You said :"The voice folder is created after adding your first voice" . So where is the problem in fact because you said "First, I created a folder called "Voices" on the root of the storage card, as I was instructed to do, but that didn't work." So folder is created after install in the right place,not necessary to create it manually ...
maps
Hi,
thank you for the tips!
Now I still can't figure out how to load the maps.
I have a file called "France" that I tried to place everywhere, but I can't find a place where it works (tomtom tells me that I don't have any map).
Should I create a new folder like for the voices?
I tried to create a "CurrentMap.dat" (real dat, no txt) file set to "& \Carte Stockage\France\" that I put in "HTC HD_mini_T5555\Carte Stockage\My Documents\TomTom", but not result.
Any idea why it still says that I have no map?
Thank you.
It has to be activated first. You can do that on the TomTom site
Hi,
a problem is that I can't use "active sync" on my computer, nor any program that require windows update to get installed, because windows update is not working (don't know why, it's a real version). Anyway... no active sync for me.
That's why I can't load the first free map too.
