anyway to use mp3 files as ring tones?

[jedi-knight83]

i have just changed to an XDA IIs from my k750i and so far i have found londs of things the XDA wont do that the K750i could to..

like play mp3 files as ring tones for instance. i transfered them all across and the XDA wont find them as ringtones.

anyway around this apart from converting the files!?

thanks in advance

They just need to be in the \Windows folder.

Edit: OK, just tried it. You could try converting to WMA format.

just copy your ring tones to windows/rings and you'll be able to see them in phone settings...

however, there is a registry hack to change rings path to Storage instead of RAM.. it works fine with me ( Magician )

Cheers :wink:

could u please post the registry hack here...would love to have my sd card songs all as ringtones :D ......also is there a reg hack to play .mp3 as a ringtone instead of converting it to .wma and then play as a ringtone...its quite annoying to convert them first and etc etc.....

I'm guessing from owning an iRiver iHP-140 Personal Media Player that the MP3s Bitrate will have a bearing on the battery power usage. Going on other Forums tests 128 kbps mono/stereo 44khz will be the best bitrates for battery consumption. look forward to reg hack as well, upgrading rom to PDA2K 140.0 iMate ROM for my o2 UK xda2s, wonder if this makes a difference, will report if it dose.

if you have wm10 you get mp3 as ring tones

and to get wm10 you need a rom which include it

wm2005 does
2003SE chinese version does

Well i got this file and installed it onto my xda iis and it works. It adds a set as ringtone option in the menu that shows when u hold ur stylus on the mp3.

Place your *.mp3 file to \storage card\My Documents. You can choose that *.mp3 file as ringtone. The more free space on your storage card, the more mp3 ringtones. Cheers.

But when you right click the mp3 and 'set as ringtone', it still gets copied to \windows\rings :?

[zyxer_raffy]

Select it (*.mp3) the usual way, i.e., Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications. There you will see the mp3 file you placed in \Storage Card\My Documents\. Also applicable for *.wmv files.

[zyxer_raffy]

Correction: Applicable to *.wma files too.

Doesn't work on the XDA Exec :cry:
