[Q] Custom Ringtones in Mango RTM - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Evening,
Just recently installed Mango RTM on my Omnia 7 and unsure how to set custom ringtones.
If I go into system, ringtones + sounds there only choices are the generic ringtones that came preloaded with the phone...
Anyone figured out how to set a MP3 as a ringtone.
Thanks,

On Mango you can do ringtones from *.mp3 and *.wma file by Zune, but you must first:
- take your sounds file for up to 39 seconds,
- this sound file may not occupy more than 1 mb,
- his format is only *.mp3 or *.wma,
- not copy-protected,
and now:
1. copy file to phone by Zune,
2. in collection in the Zune find this file and click him right mouse and click "Edit" - you see context menu same as in the screenshot but in your language,

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. in "Species" (on the screenshot it's "Gatunek") write from big letter "Ringtone" and click "Ok",
4. now only synchronize your phone with your computer and this file should be the first from the top in "Ringtones + sounds".

Modifying HTC Home plugin for today screen

Hello,
I'm currently using this layout for the HTC Home plugin:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can see a dark square on the selected tab. Is there any way to remove the dark square, so that youy cant see any difference between tabs ?
The following thing I tried don't work:
- remove from program files\htc home : HH_FW_selectedfill.png, HH_FW_selectedleft.png, HH_FW_selectedright.png, HH_BEZEL_fill.png (home plugin will load empty when doing this)
- put empty files in program files\htc home and renamed them to the ones above in this post (home plugin will load empty when doing this)
- resized the files to 1 pixel by 1 pixel (no difference in change at all)
Does anyone know how it can work ?
PS: the default files were already transparant so that's also not an option
try renaming the pressed button pics to the name of the unpressed.

}
The last one was really buggy for me; I hope the 4.4-4.5 compatibility fixes clear that up. I couldn't even use it. It wouldn't save any of my settings, and seemed to ignore my previous sk reg settings. E.g., it didn't recognize my list of favorite tools, and it wouldn't save things like excluded directories in the backup tool.
If you mean you lost all 4.4 settings, it´s ok because we use new settings storage system (SKTools 4.5.1.x).
If you have any other problem with your settings, please contact us.

[TUT] Custom Notification Sounds

Haven't seen any tip here so i just posted one. This is just a small tip how you can add customized Notification sounds on your phone if you are already boring to those default notification sound. This method is very simple and straight forward.
If you explore into your SDCARD you will see folder \media\audio\notifications. From here you can put any mp3 notification sounds, just make sure you have a tag in the mp3 so it will be ready by phone.

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download the attached sample file and put in \media\audio\notifications folder
When you go to Settings --> Sounds --> Notifications you should now see the Transformers sound. You can now set it also on SMS settings to change the notification sound.
If anyone find this as a dup, you are free to delete this thread.
great tips,man.
you can just create a folder "notifications" on sdcard, then put some custom notification sounds in it, then reboot, after that you can find your custom sounds when set notification sound.
and sounds on sdcard won't work when the phone is connected with PC and you choose "USB storage" mode......
so i always put my custom notification sounds and ringtones in the rom's zip. "/system/media/audio/ringtones/" & "/system/media/audio/notifications/"

[SM-J701M] Cannot Use Custom Notification Sounds

Hi!
I've been having a problem with my Samsung J701M in regards to Notification Sounds. I try to use a custom sound for my Notifications and Ringtone, and the phone doesn't recognize the files at all.
I copy the file to the Notifications and the Ringtones folders in my main storage, but it simply won't recognize the sounds. I tried MP3, OGG, WAV and even MIDI files, and they won't show up in the Sound and vibration section of the Settings.
The only way I've found to use custom sounds is using Zedge, and even then, I can only use sounds they have on their databases, and not in my SD card or main storage.
Is there I way I can make the phone to detect my sound files? Oddly enough, when I try to set the sound through FX File Explorer it shows me an error:
Cannot set alert: file not in media database.

How to stop Android from creating empty folders on OTG disk?

Every time I connect my SSD/ Flash Drive to my OnePlus 8T, I see anywhere between 12 to 15 folders added to the connected device. These are mostly empty and get created in every partition on the connected device. I will list them here:
1. Alarms
2. Android
3. Audiobooks
4. DCIM
5. Documents
6. Download
7. Movies
8. Music
9. Notifications
10. Pictures
11. Podcasts
12. Ringtones
13. System Volume Information
14. LOST.DIR

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Earlier, it would only be one or two folders from Android, LOST.DIR & System Volume Information. But now it is almost 15!
This is extremely annoying, and especially since they get created in every single partition.
1. Is there a way to block empty folder creation?
2. Is there a way to make the connected device READ ONLY? Please don't recommend buying one with a physical switch.
Thanks.
Bumping this post to see if there is a solution.
