[RELEASE] Tone Manager v0.2 - Set Ringtones based on categories, in priority order

---

Hi there,

I was looking around for an app to let you choose different ringtones for contacts on a priority basis.

I found something similar by v3patel, but it didn't allow me to prioritise, e.g. a 'personal' ringtone to take precedence over a 'business' ringrone when a contact is in both categories.

....so I made this app. I hope that it might be useful for others too, do as ever let me know of any bug reports or feature requests.

EDIT: If you were testing v0.1, please upgrade to v0.2 for an important bugfix!


Download Link Here - v0.2
This app requires the .net compact framework on your device. For WM6 this comes pre-installed in ROM, others need to download here

Instructions
============
1. Choose a category and a ringtone.
2. Click 'Add to list' to add it to the priority list.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you've chosen all your desired categories and ringtones.
4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to order your list into priority; categories at the top take precedence over categories below them.
5. Click 'Set Now' to make the changes.


Troubleshooting
===============
The app assumes that the ringtones are stored in \Windows\Rings. If this is NOT the case, go to the menu and choose 'Set Folder' to point it to a different location. This setting is currently NOT stored (sorry!) but will be in a future release if I get time!

Hey, great work and a good idea...
will try it also (it's too late to tell someone to call me )
Maybe it could be possible to listen to the ringtones before adding in a future release ? Just as input for you....

what does it mean "choice currently not stored" ? Will the changes be made to the categories, but when you restart your app, you can't see it anymore ? I think it is this way, but i'm not really sure....

Anyway, i like it !

Cheers, Peter

No, it just means that your preferences aren't stored, including where you tell the app to look for the ringtones. Your contacts will be set to the new ringtones you ask for and will stay this way, even after a reset.

nice work. will try today. thx

Sorry, I forget to mention that the app requires the .net compact framework 2.0 to be installed, perhaps this is giving you the error. Download link added to first post.

wm6 should have 2.0 by default. at least on official rom. I believe the bape rom should also have it. Anyway, I will try 2.0 out tonite and report later.

has anyone tried this on a WM Treo?
