WM6 Ringtones/Sounds

I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to copy the Ringtones/Soundfiles from any WM6 rom please.
I bought a Hermes off ebay but found out it was blocked and stolen, so its now with the police and i liked the ringtones more than the ones on my 2003SE phone.
Thanks.

If you'll search through the forums for "WM6 Sounds", you'll find where someone has already posted a zip file with the WM6 sounds and ringtones.

I think the biggest problem with the n00bs trying to find things in the Forum 'Search' is ridiculously hard. IMHO, we need to figure out how to replace the Search (in the menu bar) to the Search XDA using Google...
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
That would allow the n00bs to fish for themselves.

Maybe that's because 95% of noobs on forums are simply on to get free and "cool" stuff for their phones and don't put in a lick of effort to get it. A person who asks for ringtones and says "i did search" when someone else found it is obviously lying or they would have found it don't ya think???

Changing Duttys picture on boot?

I have searched splash screen on forums and really haven't come up with much. Is their a way to change the screen that dutty uses for his own picture with his name on it?

change your desired picture name to welcomehead.96 and drag it into the Windows folder on your phone.
make sure its 240X320

Hey let me know when you make a ROM so I can rip the S*%T out of it OK.
If you don't like change to another one...there are numerous other ones to try...ain't nobody holding a gun to your head.
...and to critique a welcome screen which is probably one the easiest things to change show's real lack of knowledge and plain stupidity on your part.
So please keep your lame opinions to yourself....

It shows amatuerism on his part to not have the welcome screen corrected, I am using his new 6.1 version from feb 20th, it has white dot upper left hand corner that I had to take MY time and fix. I took the time to download his ROM I expect something perfect.

LOL you amuse me.
Umm...did you pay for this ROM?
Did you have a special request for this ROM. Nobody else seems to have this problem with there phone as there are over 320 page with no issues like this. Maybe check your own phone and make sure there is nothing wrong with it. I'm sorry you had to waste YOUR worthless time to fix this insignificant problem. You probably see the welcome screen for what like 30 seconds...I didn't know you were that critical of such a small thing.
You're beyond helping.
Just please next time post this in Dutty's thread...that was all I was trying to say in first place. I wipe my hand of this.
Oh and BTW Dutty didn't make the welcome screen somebody else did...so make sure you know what your talking about before you criticize somebody. Amateur. Oh btw amatuerism is spelled amateurism.

Dutty takes his personal time to package together an operating system and standard package of software that is well integrated and operates considerably better than the standard package provided with the phone, and you have the gall to say this s**t?
Since you obviously don't have a clue, this one is on me -- No non-trivial software is free of bugs. Dutty does this by himself, and he will make mistakes. Pay attention to the things that work so much better than what you had instead of nit-picking.
To paraphrase ATW- Put up, or shut up. Let's see what you have to offer to the community other than non-constructive criticism.

I don't know why you are attacking me guys I am just pointing out some constructive thing for Dutty to replace, nothing is wrong with my screen, I have installed it and hard reset, their is a white dot on his welcome screen that I fixed with putting a black small square over and looks perfect now. Maybe everyone was busy kissing his ass in the thread and not telling him what need corrected so his ROM could be perfect.
His ROM works very fast and I like it, I am not critizising the OS or anything like that.
jt

I don't know about any "ass kissing" in Dutty's thread because I see well deserved compliments on his hard work that he shares with the community. I do see an ass in this thread and it's not Dutty's. To criticize Dutty for not being professional for an insignificant white dot on a screen he didn't make is beyond asinine. Offer constructive critique but don't be a jackass about trivial matters when he provides us with great ROMs he makes on his free time.

Build WM Themes On Your Phone!

not sure if anyone has posted this or is aware of it for that matter, but as i was looking around for themes on the net i found that u can actually use any jpeg graphic and make it a theme with this website i found..it actually creates a .tsk file for u.. cant get much easier!
so basically what u do is:
1. find ur graphic ( i use alot of iphone sites or create my own using photoshop )
2. save it to ur desktop or wherever..as long as u can find it!
3. go to this site:http://www.mperfect.net/tskTSK/
4. click create theme
5. save it to your desktop or wherever as i mentioned earlier.
6. drag it over to ur phone or simply save it on ur phone, in the correct folder,
and your good to go!

There are theme generator programs that do this very easily as well, I don't see what part is so impressive.

Couple of Questions before I flash

Hi guys,
I'm finally getting around to flashing my stock Vario III after loads of hemming and hawing, but before I do; I have a question or two for you.
1) If I go to WM6.1, can I use my Sprite Backup files to restore my installed apps? I've heard I can't, but would like to confirm.
2) As there are so many ROMs to choose from, are there any for WM6.1 that are as close as possibly to the official T-Mobile ROM my phone shipped with? My primary requirement in a new ROM is stability and usability, but I'd like it to be as fast as possible too.
3) Which pagepool size renders the best performance?
My thanks to those that may answer, and a big wet raspberry to anyone that tell me to search the forum! (I did!)

1. No. Only if you use the same rom. Use UC to install your apps. Its real easy.
2. Cant tell you that. It's a personal preference thing. Only you can answer that.
3. I like 18.

Thanks. I know 2 is mainly a personal preference thing, but I'd rather find one that's as similar to the shipped rom as I can, without all the extra trimmings that people add. Hence I was asking if there were any like that, beyond that NoFrills one.
Oh, BTW.. What's UC? Could you expand the abbreviation please?

UC us User Customization. It was developed on this site to allow people to 1-tap install all of their applications after flashing a new ROM. It works the same way as carrier customization after a hard reset.
The NoThrills ROM floating around here is quite good for someone looking for a very basic ROM so there are no unused/wasted applications on your phone. Until the Apr 09 Dutty ROM came around, I was running NoThrills since the day it came out, and was very satisfied with it.

P1Tater, i so agree to that ... I have flashed so many roms since i have joined xda that my wife is at the brink of taking my phone away from me... lol :-D.
But to be honest FloatingFatMan it really is dependent on your taste for me i can't get away from Dutty's roms as they are very nicely put together (although am patiently waiting for final release of xda live 2.0).

I really do think the Wiki's and FAQ's have a lot to offer. That is how I learned to flash and customize. It seems like the hardest part(insert joke) is the first time set up stuff like Hard SPL, Jump SPL, etc. But after that you start to tweak your device more, it gets easier. Sprinkle in a little UC(User Customizations) and then your hooked. You'll start looking for and trying any and every ROM out there. I know people get annoyed when all of us say to read but it's the only way to learn and understand the stuff. It's all laid out for you, you just have to use it and soak it all in. And if you have really read and made an honest effort to learn on your own(and we can tell) lots of people here are more than willing to help, we've all been there. It's just when we read all the redundant questions that have already been answered that some get their blow torches out.

no doubt, after all the tytn II is an expensive toy and u would have a hard time justifying it to urself if u bricked it on ur first atempt. but honestly its fairly ez first u need to get hardspl and after that flash any rom for kaiser u like. i have xp so not sure about issues w/vista but if u pm me i can tell u how i did it and hopefully that will help.
also read the first sticky, everything in it, in the Kaiser rom development form it should clear up alot of hesitations.
p.s. can't include links to threads as i am at work on my tilt

hey buddy, honestly there is nothing hard about flashing with vista, just to be safe i downloaded everything to make my comp more like xp, but i used a friends and only installed WMDC, winrar, and the ROM. i love flashing and so long as you have HardSPL on your kaiser then everything will go just fine. any questions feel free to pm me and i'll do my best to answer within an hour, i basically live on this site

Oh I've flashed my old Magician a few times... I'm not the slightest bit worried about bricking my devices either. I've read everything and am pretty confident.
No, my reason for hesitation is that I'm basically a lazy bugger and the thought of reinstalling all my apps is irritating. Besides.. With so many ROMs, it's hard to choose the one I want!

@futbolkeeper, thesire and tubaking182,
Thank you very much for the advice and support, appreciated. My idea of first-time flashing is:
Step 1. HardSPL (after data backup)
Step 2. Flash new ROM
Step 3. Flash new Radio.
Step 4. Restore data
Step 5. Install any new apps, if necessary...
Am I right here? I may do this in a short while!

ahahah.
I would be a trifle peery of your 4th bullet. You do not mean to restore data from a preexisting backup, do you? Even if you partially succeed, you can make one big mess of your "new" Kaiser. Nothing an HR could not put straight, but that defeats the purpose of restoring data in the first place, now doesn't it. (and yes, I went through that myself. Lost an hour or so for exactly zero gain)
If, however, you only mean things that PIM Backup can store, go ahead by all means! Contacts, agenda, tasks, texts - NP here.
And yes, you will end up (re)installing extra apps - if only because no-one but you can judge what is key for you. And because if you use your Kaiser as a gaming platform or a mobile library, no-one has quite the same taste as you.
Ah, and yes, your suggested order is quite correct

Thank you wyrm. That's absolutely clear, and by 'restore data' I meant PIM backup, so no problems here.
As I am typing this, I have already done the first three steps above, everything is perfect and am restoring with PIMbackup now... It has been a great experience, and am very excited...
EDIT: PIM data restored and all's well. Hope all my previous programs work well with this ROM too.
BTW, This ROM (Dutty's WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2) has a radio also inbuilt, so step 3 was redundant
Entire process took about 20 minutes flat...

I've flash so many times already, reading all about ROMs out there really convincing. So I flash and flashed on my Hermes, HP and Kaiser then only realize bugs one after another. No big deal. And it's not going to stop too.

ALWAYS HARD RESET AFTER YOU FLASH!!
i know it seems like a waste of time but you need to do it in order to make sure that everything from the last ROM is deleted

Thanks! Fortunately, I remembered immediately after flashing and did it... otherwise, I would have had to do so now and lose all the newly installed apps
