I have stupid question how can I change alarm tones ?
I using WM 6
Thanks
Ya, that took me a while to figure out too. Apparently, you can use any midi file. Just drop it into /My Device/Windows/ folder and restart the Alarm application. You should see it in the list to choose from.
Personally, I stopped using the windows alarm because I have Pocket Music Bundle 5.0.1 installed. It's awesome as an MP3 player and on top of that it has a built in alarm. So I just set it to whatever time and my favorite MP3 just plays. You can also incorporate various special effects like fade in when the song starts so you don't get a heart attack at 6am!

Hi!
I'm looking for some ringtones for windows mobile 6. Where every I search I find only song-like ringtones. I just want some ringers. Not symphonies or rock songs. Do you know where I can find some simple ring tones?
Here's a good collection :

Perhaps you haven't read my message. I'm not looking for songs to use for ringtones. I'm just looking for plain ring-tones. Something like 'ring-ring' or 'beep-beep-beep' or nokia tune etc. I'm not looking for songs that were converted to ring tones.
I have some mp3s songs that I want to use as my alarm tone? How can I go about accomplishing this? Thanks!
i've got an htc touch diamond and the only way that i got it right was to copy tones to the device windows root folder in a .wav format.alarm tones won't work with mp3 unless you use klaxon
I use the alarm from SPB Time - you can choose mp3 as your alarm tone and it can be located anywhere in the device (main memory, storage card...)
Just love SPB time. all the timers and alarms get me hot!
I was dumping them in the /windows directory then I realized that the phone was finding them in the main memory card directory too.
Hey,
I just can't manage custom alarm tones to work. No matter where I put them (Windows dir, Windows/Rings, My docs./My Rings) and no matter what format I use (mp3, midi, wav, wma) they just won't work. When I click the clock (M2D) -> Alarms -> and then click that small belt my sounds cannot be found in that dropdown menu.
Any ideas are highly appreciated!
Cheers
alarms are put in the /windows folder.
you can also use this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370481
and try this app..
I already tried putting them into Windows directory. I tried mp3, midi, wav and wma.. None of these worked actually. It's just not listed in that dropdown menu. Pretty annoying.
Cheers
i suggest you try what i offered..
the file i posted works perfectly on my Wizard...
I don't like to use 3rd party app for a thing that should work normally.
Cheers
first of all, the only alarms (wake up alarm, that is..) WM reads is wav.. by default
if you open clock.exe and check alarm sounds you will only see wav formats.
and they are found in the windows dir.
i'm not sure about M2D but i suggest you add a wave file called test.wav to your windows dir and check if it appears in the default alarm app of windows.
if it doesn't... I'd suggest either using 3rd party/a hardreset, or if the rom is problematic.. switch for one that doesn't have that problem.
i just tried putting a wav in my windows folder and it appears in the list.
I put a wav file in the windows folder, it showed up in the list, but windows wouldn't let me select it, when I select it, it will automatically just to Default Alarm Tone ! I have cool edit in my PC, I was wondering, if the file needs to be in a specific format (i.e. bit rate)? Any ideas? And there are a whole lot of types of wavs, adpcm, pcm, raw ...
EDIT:
Found it, here :

btw, I suggest using G-alarm.. besides the fact that it's very useful you can also use mp3s and waves.. create playlists for alarms...
I am wondering how to choose a song from your album to be the alarm in Sense 2.1? When I am setting up a new alarm I can only choose from boring little sounds, I see no way of getting my music set as alarm.
i think you have to copy the songs you want to /windows. This could work...
download klaxon alarm.
it totally rocks for me and you cn choose songs.
Is anyone working on a S2P type audio player for Android? One reason that I regret going to Android is the lack of any good audio players. Using Nemoplayer and it is alright...but I want my S2P!
Until then, can anyone recommend an audio player that DOES NOT scan then entire SD card for audio files? As much as I like my 1 second audio clip for notifications, I don't want it to be included in my playlist.
S2P was ideal because all music needed to be in the /music directory. Thanks ahead of time!
You can put an empty file named .nomedia (the dot is important!) in the directories you don't want scanned.
You have just made my day! Thanks very much.
Well, that fixed my audio player issue, but now that essentially is preventing android from seeing my ringtones. So now I can either have my ringtones or an audio player that will not play my ringtones. Any way of having both?
My ringtones don't show up in the Music application, are you doing something differently?
Try Mortplayer. You can even find info about it in this forum. It doesn't use the Android media database. It scans only the folder and subfolders you designate.
guags99, mortplayer is exactly what I am talking about. Thanks for the information!
For all those who prefer other players, try to put a file named .nomedia in the directories you don't like to have scanned for Android's media library.
MortPlayer doesn't handle that file since I think it's enough to point it to the correct main folder, so you could even use .nomedia to omit audio books from your favorite tag based media player and play them with MortPlayer Audio Books.
(Of course I hope many like MortPlayer, but of course folder based navigation isn't for everybody. And I didn't like to code the 5,000,000th iTunes clone...)
Edit: Oops, skipped an important post... I think ringtones in /media/audio/ringtones (resp. .../notifications or .../alarms for those) should be regarded even with .nomedia.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Mine don't either. Maybe it's a difference between different versions of Android?
Careful
Hey guys - be careful with .nomedia - you can loose all your media files due to a silly bug in Android...

I quite like btunes. You can specify which folders for it to look into. Ive just got all my mp3s in my music folder.
Audiobooks ive got in another folder and use an audio book reader for them so btunes works pretty well for me. Also like the interface.
The key to keeping ring, notification,and alarm tones from showing up in the media player is to have them in the correct folders. And there is where the "why didn't I think of that" comes into play.
At the root of your sd card:
alarm tones go in the "alarms" folder
notification tones go in the "notifications" folder
ring tones go in the "ringtones" folder
Now your phone will be able to see the tones and use them properly, but they will not show up as media files in any media player unless you tell it to look for them (some players, such as Meridian for example, allow you to exclude folders in the application setting).
Android Delight has a great comparison between Cubed and DoubleTwist. (can't post links yet)
Those are my two favorite music apps. Cubed was my fav but for reasons in the article (syncing, ease, etc.) DoubleTwist is taking over.
I'm using btunes right now. You select the folder with your music manually. I used to use Meridian where you also selected the folders. I changed because of a bug after an update, but that might have been fixed now. I like them both becaus you can skip, fast forward by swyping (best on meridian)
one of the best audio player is deadbeef. simply to use, GUI is perfect, sound is clear.
