hi there guys....does any one out here know how to setup xda II to play a video tone...and from where to get a video tone ?
thanks..
anyone ??
a little help would be appreciated..
no one ?????? hellllllo plz help ?
I have never heard of a video tone. so far as I know, it will only recognise .mid, .wav and .mp3 files
well...its very famous in India.....I have seen the advertisments on few Indian T.V Channels as well they,re providing it for Nokia Cell Phones...if it can be done on Nokia then certainly it can be done on our PPC's as well....
try googling it.....search for video tones...you will come to know what Im talkin bout

1. which software is needed for .avi to .gif conversion ? (tried few conversion softwares but wasnt able to convert .avi to .gif :roll: )
2. after conversion where do you copy the gif ?
3. and other stuff as well ?
come on guys....keep posting, in order for us to end up with a successful wm2003se video tone....
How about this
U can use burst mode to take pictures of your friends/girlfriend/wife/etc. then combine them using software like ulead gif animator here

avi to gif converter search string
guess it comes down to if the 3th party program which show pictures when the phone rings support animated gif's which again i dont believe support sound
in which case a 3th party program to play the sound part pr. contact
would be required
would be hard to get it sync though
if the program is to support some nokia format insted of animated gifs i guess somebody would have to develop a new 3th party contact spc ringtone/video viewer which supported the format
that is if nokia use an open format
or the developers would have to reverse engineer the format
guess could be a big job so it's supply and demand which set the pace really
Hi Rudegear,
This feature is only for Nokia series 60 phones...and there's 3rd party software viz Video Tones/Watchtones etc..
What they do is these Run in the background and as per the settings done earlier by user, it loads a 3GPP/MPEG-4 video(No AVI)..
So if we can make a programme viz... Photocontacts which RUN in the system tray and load a video when there is a call...and I think Buzz,Vijay or may be u can easily make it.

Hi!!!!
This works only in 2003/2003SE
1) Get hold on a convertor which will convert AVI/MPEGs to GIF...or as a trial u can use any GIF file(Animation).
2) From yr Photocontacts App...select a contact and assign that newly made GIF Animation.
3) U can then check with the Preview option available and confirm the PhotoCaller ID.
I hope this is helpful
Does anyone know a way to view video file icons by their thumbnail outside of the picture/video view and not in wmv format?
I want to use something like winterface as video launcher for my movies/tv shows, and maybe music, but don't want the stupid windows-flag icon that is used for my avi files. Does anyone know of an explore plugin that would generate thumbnails for the icons?
I'm interested in any solutions, even if i have to do something on my computer before putting the videos on the sd card.
TIA
WTF? was i spam replied?
ok, in the meantime i found s-k-tools icon changer, but i'd like something a little better than just a generic icon for all my AVIs. Maybe there is no way to do this because winmo just don't quite got what it takes?
hopefully i can find a way to do this soon enough. I'd eventually like to get something like boxee running on a winmo phone, with plugins for wikilyrics and everything. I'll probably have to wait for fennec to come out (and buy a better phone than a herald) but that's the dream anyways.
i'd like to hear any advice or comments if you've got any.

anyone have any ideas?

1. You posted in the wrong section, this should have been in General.
2. To change the startup sound, it needs to be PowerOn.wav. Also, if you just changed the file extension from mp3 to wav, it also won't work. You would need to re-encode the file from MP3 to WAV.
Hey, sorry for the noob question, probably going to get flamed for it but eh.
I was wonding if anyone else has this happening to them? When ever I get a video sent to me by mms the Sensation splits the sound and the video up so they're two different parts? And if even converts the video with no sound to a gif file? Can someone help me change this or something? even my old Samsung A411 can play video files set to it via mms.
Really starting to annoy me, having a high tech phone that can't play a mms like my old crappy phone.
If anyone needs a video of it or pics just ask and I'll take one and post them.
Thanks.
Anyone know how to add thumbnails for movies you put in the gallery? I used DVD Catalyst to convert some movies (awesome application by the way totally worth it if youre looking for how to put movies on virtually any device). Only problem is unless I use THEIR gallery and add a picture with same name as the movie, it wont display a thumbnail - using their gallery clogs my own gallery with pictures and movies that are black, and they leave a border around the movie that isnt black - annoying. *sigh*
Anyone else have luck?

Hi Spartacus,
Thank you for using DVD Catalyst,
I created the player-app because there wasn't anything else out there that would let you use your own cover images for your video files. Before the 3.1 update on HC, you could create a folder, put a video file in it and then an image file, and it would display it in the Gallery app, but Google broke that with the 3.1 update, so I made the app. I still haven't seen anything else that works in a similar way.
I have been working on an update for it all week, and after I read your post, I did make some changes regarding the images, so the next update will have them not show up in Gallery.

Thanks, looking forward to the update. I know myself and a lot of others still want a way to add thumbnails for movies in the gallery.

Same here, but with that being a gripe since the beginning of Android, I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. Because the idea behind it is so simple and obvious, I was expecting someone to come up with it, but since that never happened, I figured I'd give it a shot.
