I know you can change ringtones in Mango, but I'm confused if there is a way to create custom alerts as well.
Is this a feature that just isn't implemented yet?
Thanks!

Use the forums search feature, there's a few threads already that explain how to do this.

I did search, and found the only options were linked to Alarm tones.
Maybe you could be so kind as to link a thread/post that goes into Alerts?

Wish people would give the links out and not say "search for it, its out there". I searched google and asked twice on the forum, nothing. If it can't be done fine, but if it can people need to show others.
Also still wondering if this is possible..
Use any music editing software(audacity etc) or Myxer.com and create an .mp3(I think .wav too, I'm not sure) file of the part of the song that u want as a ringtone. It has to be less than 39secs and less than 1MB. Then save the file anywhere on your computer(I save mine where I have my other music). Go to Zune software and locate the file that you made, right click it and change the genre to Ringtone(I had to type mine out) then then sync it to your device and you should be able to set it as a ringtone.

The problem is you expect others to do the work for you. Searching before posting a duplicate thread is part of the XDA ToS.

I can tell you what I did. I followed the instructions in the Mango Tips & Tricks thread. First you need to make sure your intended is less than 40 seconds long & less than 1 MB in size. Also, make sure it's a MP3 or WMA. To do this, used a audio editing software. I used AVS Audio Converter6 (Paid for app). Than load it into Zune by putting it in a folder being monitored by Zune for music. You can check in Zune settings which folders are watched & add or remove folders as needed. Now in the Zune software, find the file & right click on it. Click on Edit, than click the Genre field & type in Ringtone. Than just drag it to the WP7 icon at the buttom of Zune. On your WP7 device, go to the ringtones settings & it'll show up at the top of the list under "Custom". It'll be named by filename btw.

Custom Ringtones
1. Copy MP3 or WMA to Zune Collection. Choose Edit, and type in manually under Genre "Ringtone". The song must be less than 40 seconds and smaller than 1MB.
2. Go to Settings -> Ringtones + Sounds, tap Ringtone. Your custom ringtone will appear under a new tree called "Custom", above "Windows Phone"
Note that it is identified by the filename, rather than the track title.
Also, you can tap and HOLD a ringtone, and Delete will be offered (but only on the Custom ones; preloaded ones grey out delete).

I can see and empathise with TooSlo's frustration here - he's asking if its possible to create alert tones and folks are beating him up for it and sending him info on how to create ring tones. Unfortunately, you can't use ringtones for the various alert tones.
I suppose a hack is possible. It may be as easy as finding the appropriate category and editing the metadata (like you do with Ringtones).
same problem ive had searching for custom alerts.. nobody understands the question.
is there any way to make the question clearer for people to understand what were after? i say that in a non-sarcastic manner truly

I can't find any information that allows for custom alerts. I've been looking for this as well.
Not tried in latest Mango but I did in 7712
Sideload Touch Explorer and send yourself the tone you want but rename as ALERT 10 etc (we have to overwrite one of the built in ones)
Open the email and download the attachment then using Touch Ecplorer look in the volatile folders and you will see your file then copy and paste to the windows folder.
You may have to open the email and open attachment a few times before it shows in volatile but you will find it eventually
Hope this helps
That's more or less the same thing you have to do in Mango, but with provxmls. Follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519
You can try this: Advanced Configuration Tool 1.3.0.0 beta available - for Mango only
That app have this option.
Just to let everyone know I have just reflashed my HD2 to Mango 7720, and used the email, copy and paste to windows folder and it still works
To be more precise email yourself a wma file and call it something like Alert-10.wma the open your email and download then play the attachment.
Then press home key and open touch explorer and navigate to APPLICATION DATA then VOLATILE and then EMAILATTACHMENTS and look in any folders you find here then using touch explorer copy and paste the file to the WINDOWS folder and overwrite.
Then set alert 10 as your chosen tone (or whatever number you used) and hey presto
looks like us without htc have to find an alternative to modify the filesystem? it seems touch explorer only works on htc devices for the time being. I did test out the advanced config tool, but it doesnt seem to have privs to modify much of anything yet
anyone else have luck on LG?

The problem here is that you and many others who have posted how to make ringtones haven't bothered to understand what the original post was asking. This is what is wrong with forums these days. You do a google search and you get a question asked in a forum and instead of any good info, you get a senior member "beating up" some guy for arriving at their site. If you do not want to answer questions then don't post. These types of forums are meant to be a help, so be HELPFUL. At least post a link that answers the question, not a google search that will bring them right back to their question.
The original post WAS NOT asking how to make ringtones; we all knew how to do that before Mango was released. The question was the ALERTS that WP7 uses for SMS, MMS, email and alarms. I too was doing my own footwork when I came upon this question. And of course like many other responses to my google search, they all talk about RINGTONES. I did however find on this forum a post that might answer this one's question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368361
The answerer mentions using something called touchxperience/touchxplorer, but does not go into any detail as to how he was able to accomplish this.
I can imagine I'll go to that post and reply as to how he did it and some senior member will beat me up and say something about how I should do my own research.
BE HELPFUL!! Please.

i had used heathcliff's file deployer and deployed to /my documents/my ringtones (i think it was a .wma)
then changed the registry path for sms ringtones to point to the file. i think i used wp root tools to change the registry entry since it was easier than finding it in the registry.
that should work for LG phones also

I tried it last month and all of the filesystem tools I had attempted were unable to make modifications. I tried Advanced explorer, diagprovxml(I think this was for maybe getting the wifi tether working..), and another one that I cannot recall at the moment. None of these were able to successfully modify the files properly.
LG still no go for me, unless someone else has gotten it to work since I last tried?

That is out dated information neither Touch experince nor Touch explorer are currently working on Mango. Supposedly there is a beta version that works on Mango but you have to donate and ask the dev to be a beta tester and wait and see if he actually responds. Well I'm waiting of a straight forward way.
Trying to open an MP3 link within Google Reader using CM9 and get the message "No applications can perform this action."
I've tried downloading a different media player (PowerAmp) - doesn't fix the issue.
Any ideas?
this probably isnt the problem but its the only thing i can think. The mp3 file could be possibly be corrupted. :laugh:

maybe you didnt mean to come across like that...but it seemed like it...hate those short [email protected]@ short like anwsers my self...but imho
or maybe reply with something like this...
thanks for your post, from what I have seem and identified the file doesnt seem to be corrupt...I know this because I have done ...XXXX and XXXX
see my point...
thx
Point taken. Definitely didn't mean it like that. Should have included an emotion, I suppose. I took his response as a little funny and generally expect others on technical forums not to read emotion from plain speech...
Files aren't corrupt. All mp3 links from within Google Reader app result in the same message. Same app and links worked prior to move to ICS.
Others on Google+ with CM9 on non-Infuse report the same issue, so perhaps it is ICS specific.
Could be that the mime type reported by the server for the files does not have a handler. Mp3 files work fine when stored locally on the device, though.
HELLO

In instances like this, it's friendly to post what the problem was and how you fixed it.
That's so when someone googles this exact same problem and they find this thread, they will also find a sollution and not just the question. See the cartoon in my signature line for an amusing view of why this is important. :good:
Hello everyone
I searched the web and somehow it looks like nobody else tried it before. Weird.
Anyway, after long time I've decided to backup my whatsapp photos and move them to the computer. There are a lot of images from many different people, and I want to organize the photos in different directories according to the different contacts. I can't do it one by one, and unsuccessfully tried to find an automatic tool/app for that.
It must be possible to do, since when I enter a contact there an option to see the media only with that person, but I don't even know at which file that information should be.
Does someone know or have a solution for me?
Thanks as lot:angel:

Hi everybody.
I made my own solution a few months ago. It works pretty well, but it was not a phone app, and it requires some technical skills: https://peremolto.net/projects/whatsapp-organizer-script/README.txt
Seems to be a wanted tool, so I am also currently developing it as an Android native application.

Hi guys. I have no setting in my settings to activate the function of letting the soundvolume follow the speed.
I found this setting, which should do the trick? Do I need to use "0" or "1" ?
My HU is a Joying 11.6" UIS7862, 8 GB ram/ 128GB rom and the firmware (System) is 2022-08-15
If, am I right that I put two files on a fat32 usb with a config.txt as one, which has
ro.syu.env_voloffset_level=0 (or 1)
And the file:
lsec6315update
from my current firmware.
This will only update the system with the new setting and nothing else?
Thanks in advance

Tried, without luck. It doesn't seem to work when I drive and there is no new setiing in Settings-menu.
I asked Joyforwa (Amazon) - (Joying I think). They say it's not possible.. Hmmm.
Just thinking. Can it be because I don't have a CANbus. (It's installed in a Land Rover from 1972 )

Which value for the setting did you use?
1 to set speed dependent volume
0 to disable speed dependent volume.
And also check what the property is right now.
Either use my HWGetInfo.apk to check on the properties (and the rest)
or, from a terminal, issue the command
Code:
getprop > /storage/sdcard1/properties.txt
and check the "ro.syu.env_voloffset_level=" in the created txt file.
I do not know whether it is dependent on the CANbus, but I don't think so. I think it is determined by the GPS module. It was in the Sofia 3GR and FYT never changes a working functionality.
But the best way is to ask Joying directly.
Edit: Do you really not have in your Settings -> Sound ->
Speed Compensated Volume
The last option in Sound, in whatever translation the Chinese make of this. This should set the sound volume depending on the actual speed

Thanks again. I looked in an old HWGetinfo-file (after I made the update with the config.txt) and I see it wasn't in the old file at all. As I wrote, Joying (or who they might be) said it couldn't be done. I have now set it to "1" and will try and see if it made a difference. I have also tried with some apps that claims to change volume against speed, but without luck..
I tried with a value of "1", without any luck. I also tried several app's that are supposed to turn the volume up and down, depending on speed, but again with no luck. Can the "system" somehow be "locked" for app's to control the volume?
It would be rally nice to have this function, as my Land Rover makes a lot of "good " noise, with increasing speed..
Can someone here show me a picture of the soundsettings, where "Speed Compensated Volume" is - and if, which HU it's from. As you can see from the picture of the soundsettings in my earlier post, the setting is not to be found anywhere in my HU. I have tried to download several different firmwares for the uis7862, but cannot find any reference to ro.syu.env_voloffset_level=
I don't really know what to look for, perhaps a missing app for the function?. I really miss the feature.
Thanks again.
edit: in the "properties"file, there is a line with: [ro.syu.env_voloffset_level]: [1]

I don’t quite understand. What would a picture of the screen showing that setting be any different to what has just posted above?
Perhaps I'm not good at explaining myself. Curiosity - I have not seen an actual screenshot, where the settings are. And to confirm that my HU are different from the rest ;-) As far as I can read, all uis7862 should be the same, so I'm looking for a solution to my problem - no "speed compensated volume" setting.

I have it on my Teyes cc3 and also had it on my EKIY t900. I’ll do a pic next time I’m at the car of my cc3
I had to get something out of the car, so here are 2 bad images of the Setting.
Device -> Sound -> Speed Compensated Volume.
Note that the setting is done in animated text. It moves from left to right.
Thanks a lot, much appeciated, both of you. Now I have seen it live ;-) Now I just have to figure out to get the setting. Maybe an update of the firmware....
The below:
ro.syu.env_ voloffset _niveau 190000000_com.syu.ms
What do you think - has the line anything to do with my problem? Is it an app, an argument or a reference to something? Can it maybe be needed for the function. I saw it at the 4pda-forum. I'm a beginner.....

I don't think so. I did set the "Speed Compensated Volume" to off/low/medium/high, but did not see any change in properties.
And where does that line come from?
Note also that you started with "ro.syu.env_voloffset_level". Now you mention "ro.syu.env_ voloffset _niveau".
I know that you found that "ro.syu.env_voloffset_level" from a post from tyuktha on 4pda, but where is this coming from?
I made a search for something with voloffset in it and ran into this on 4pda. I have no idea if it has anything to do with it....
