Thnks for the time that you take to help...

Oh alright. WAV files in windows directory.

Instead of spending time on sarcastic remarks, why don't you get up butt up and put some real effort in.
Anyway, if you really must

Found "maybe' New PPC Free Softwares Site in Cab/Zip formats

Hi all,
i don't know if this has been made known before but anyway here is a link http://www.freecabs.de/ to a site that serves to provide ppc users a place to find free/commercial softwares/games in cab file-ready format and zip. just to mention a few like Pocket Rar, PPC Skype, Mem Release, VLC Media Player (that can stream video), Virtual Earth Mobile, UI tweaker etc. As for version compatibility, as most is not mentioned, i guess it's up to the user to find out.
I've tried to look for the proprietor's name of this website but could not find any so i could not pay any tribute directly as yet but anyway if he/she reads this, "A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU" so if any of you guys do find his/her name please mention it here. he/she did tho' include his/her e-mail "[email protected]". I think he/she deserves our thank you.
Cheers. (P.S as the url suggest softwares are free but i could not confirm this as i don't use much of them only those that i need)

The site is by Holger Schmidt
Danke Holger

Yes, i'm sorry. it's listed just below the title. Thanks.
And thank you again, Holger Schmidt.

Freecabs - Metro City Navigation
Métro Ver. 5.4.4 is cool. 350 cities.. and it's free!
If you have ever been lost in Munich, you know what I'm talking about.

well freecabs is great. But the site is really a portal for OTA downloads. All apps belong to their seperate owners.

Now the website is temporarily unhosted and perhaps discontinued in eight to ten months. This because the webmaster owner has a new carreer waiting ..
He will evaluate in 8 months if upholding the site is possible..

New Place to Upload Your Files

Hey guys (and gals)
I made an Upload file manager for us here at XDA-Developers.
For those of you who hate rapidshare or megaupload like I do, I'm donating some of my 3terrabyte bandwidth to you all. No pop-ups or advertising either..
You are able to Upload almost anything that you would like. (Roms, images, cab files...ect)
Maximum of 100MB (if you need more, please send me an email or PM)
Very easy to use and navigate
I will support hot-linking (only from XDA-Developers)
All phones listed
Uploader does NOT have a progress bar during upload, just be patient.
To get started :
Follow this link
http://envmyz.com/xda
Read the rules and conditions
Click on Shares near the top.
Select your phone.
List will be displayed, from here you can upload, sort, view, and display file information.
Clicking on the file will display file infornation on the side bar, you can right click copy download link to paste it into your post if you would like.
I started some files in the Wizard section.
Hope this goes over well.
email is [email protected] if you have any questions. Enoy
*Moderators - If you want to make this a sticky, feel free too. Post it in other forums as well.

I just read your rules and it made me laugh.
Code:
No files with illegal content, for example pornography, child pornography, racist material and/or unauthorized copies of copyrighted material. This statement of categories is not the completed list.
All of the OS version violate this first rule. So, are you saying that you only want programs and such uploaded, no OS's. Thats the reason that XDA had to stop hosting these also.

They are there to cover my ass, feel free to upload anything you want

even pornography( smile ) ?

Maybe because of the unfreezing process you have no inner monologue

As many have learned, there are no CYA procedures that will get you away from M$ lawyers. You are taking on a big thing here. Good luck if you continue to allow this.

maybe you can create some folder for us
like
ROM, OEM PACK, Programs
btw! very cool site!!

indeed, it could prevent confusion - i uploaded small oempack with clear name , though... but it may be not rule for others...
thanks for that place.
---------
upd: erm.. file WF2.6 in wizard section may be ROM, that i made - Wayfarer 2.6 final...i don't know who uploaded it there, i did not...I will UL readme soon, if i may..

very nice interface.....
excellent!!!
thanks

For some reason, adding sub-directories cant be done, only new shares can be added. So untill I can figure out how to do sub-directories.. the folders are staying as they are.

Its great, except this is the questions and answers section, saying google it (without even a proper answer in the list) doesn't necessarily get the job done.
"set ringtone ppc" does the job proper. Everyone knows where google is, they probably used it to find this site. The Purpose of the q&a section is not to promote google traffic. If you are going to refer someone somewhere, please make sure you refering them to exactly the right place.

I wasn't planning on using it in the Q&A Section of course -
Being a team player!
But it will be fun to use in other cases sometimes. I will of course change the auto google search to be relavant to the topic of discussion and make sure that it directs to helpful links. All in fun

I know with my device - Audio Manager has the feature to set MP3 as ringtone.
You can follwo advice above also - . I suggest using a trimmer program to cut the MP3 to save space on your device though.
Another cool app you might want to take a look at for MP3 ring tones is the mp3 ringtone randomizer found at this link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370527
just direct the program to the specified folder with your mp3 ringtones and it will automatically randomize your ringtone for each call. I love this.

Sorry, just trying to be funny, but the first link in the list tells him how to set an MP3 as a ring tone, and the second link in the list tells them how to set a message alert. First two links answered both his questions. What could be better than that ?
This is question and answers, but even so, come on . That is Cell phone 101 , read the manual, do a site search ( I have seen that question a hundred times ) make an effort. In some countries they prohibit you from ever owning a PDA again, for those questions.
Just , seriously, for clarification, are those the types of questions that Q & A forum is for ?

Yup - Any and every member needs to feel that they can ask any question - no matter what - even extreem "Noob" questions in the Q&A section without being flammed. It is asked that every member respect this and if answering a question in the Q&A Section that you don't just say "Search" or "Read the WIKI" but at least provide links to WIKI if you are referring to this. I personally don't see the harm in the link you provided "although funny" serves two purposes. You didn't flame the OP for asking silly question but provided a useful (and funny) link that pointed him in the right direction to answer his question and aslo made a statement that a simple search would have answered the question. I see no harm in that either as there are a lot of people who do not take the time to search for themselves or they just don't know what keywords to use in the search field. (You also provided hints on what kind of search words to use) When I answer questions in the Q&A Section, I Provide links to where they can find their answer to their question or just sometimes answer it right there it it is an easy question; however, after answering I sometimes point out that searching using certain keywords would have yielded results (I like your way better) There are a lot of questions asked that seem rather simple and "Noobish" to us, but to beginner's they need to be shown how to properly use this forum sometimes and I think that the Q&A section is a wonderful thing for everyone because, there is so much to learn and it can be very overwhelming especially for new commers.

This should work for you...

Following the raptious support and humiliation ive suffered, i guess i can only blame myself for not only including what phone i have (htc touch hd) but more so not taking the time to research such questions properly!
Unfortunately i havent had 5 mins to myself to play with all areas of the phone, but now ive managed to sort the ringtone situation out, aided by the mp3 trimmer!
I guess its easy for those high up on knowledge to look down and laugh when you dont know jack, but hey done now, although saying that, i cant find where i can possibly delete some of the ringtones/beeps that come as standard, maybe someone could help me out there? again would be appreciated.

Firstly, have a sense of humor dude, or you won't last very long here
Secondly, find those files in your ringtone folder with file explorer, or in your windows folder, file explorer>my device>windows your files will be in there.

I did laugh at some of the replies mate dont worry, and thank you for your help though, i did try deleting the tones but kept coming up "error deleting file" so i cant delete anyway but thanx

The " base " ringtones that come with the rom, are written into the rom and cannot be deleted. All other tone and notifications can be added and deleted anytime.

alright cheers, but i set couple songs to be ringtones, ive since deleted them from windows media library and on file explorer on the phone, but still they show up as available to choose as a tone????

Yes but did you delete them from the /windows folder, that is where they are played from.
Then Soft reset.

yep i did that, and still there available to choose as tones!

[Q] Icon Download?

Hi,
I put this question up at android.net but that doesn’t seem to be a developer forum, one of the guys said I should try here.
I’ve built an icon and I want people to be able to download onto their mobile phone that then sits in the applications, right next to angry birds metaphorically, that is then a simple a link to my mobile website. Is there a tutorial for that anywhere?
I will want to be able to do that for at least iPhone and Andrioid.
Cheers,
Mike.

Anyone have any ideas, I don’t want to have to try another forum!

Thanks for your help XDA Developer…lol.
Thanks for your help XDA Developer…lol.
I got to the bottom of the icon thing, that’s the easy part, in fact when it comes to programming the app part is the easiest part.
I now have a working model with a PC based administration section linked to a database communicating via a web service to iPhone, Windows Phone and Android. I can CRUD from both the phones and PC. It’s a beautiful package if I may say so myself. Now its built world is my oyster.
You may as well delete me from this forum, as you people don’t seem to share I’m not going to either and I won’t be coming back!
Good luck and good bye!
Mike.
