phoneExt

[TomTom]

Hello:

Thank you for this site. I am new to all this. I am not yet ready to use a special edition rom, but I was interested in one of the programs, phoneExt. In fact, I'm mainly interested in distinct ringtones. I installed it on my pocketpc 2002 and it worked except for the distinct ringtones. Then I upgraded to PPC 2003. I installed phoneExt and same thing.

Can anyone help out or point me to another product that allows distinct ringtones per caller?

Thanks in advance.

RingtoneX from MTUX is a good software

if you go from 2003 to the special edition rom then you are downgrading
heck my xda1 came with a newer rom that special edition did

Thank you for the replies. I've heard about RingtoneX, but I liked the fact that phoneEXT is freeware. I decided to give it one more try on 2003 (since it was recommended not to downgrade). So I installed it, put a shortcut in the startup, did a soft-reset, assigned a ringtone to my contact (from the windows/rings directory), and it still didn't work. Any ideas? Or do I really have to remove this and use RingtoneX?

Thanks again.

I have the same problem on my i-mate (ppc 2003). Other folks have it work perfectly. There is an other thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8788&highlight=

i m using phonExt for long now formerely on my XDA1 and now on my XDA2 both with ppc 2003 and i have no problem playin specific ringtones for every user in my contacts.

just have to put the rings in /windows/rings must be a .wav file

and i define them from the contact list by a long click and the function assign ring tone.

i ve heard many people complaining about phoneext on XDA2 (with ppc 2003).
And i do not understand really, i did nothing specific, just installed the soft and made a shortcut of the exec in the startmenu.
i used in in the extendded personalised rom made with the rom kitchen when i had my XDA1.

well do i have a magic XDA2 or a magic ppc2003 .... i doubt.

I too doubt that you have a magic XDA, but I did all of that. Perhaps my version of the software is older or has bugs. Can you tell me where you got yours or give me a copy (afterall it is freeware)?

Can it be related to the way that phone numbers are in the contacts? For example mine are generally of the format # (###) ###-####, but when I get a call, it does show the contact's name...
