[updated 07-mar] Random Ringtones - nebohodimo Call Surprise

[Koterpillar]

The only solution for a random ringtone now is Random Ringtones, MortScript by oblyvaeon. I made a simple application to do just that - randomize your ringtone. It scans your storage card (or any other location you specify) for music files and every time after an incoming call your ringtone will become one of those. Unlike the mentioned script, it does not require to be running all the time, so there is zero CPU and memory usage.
Features of version 1.2.1:

• Select many folders to get ringtones from
• Exclude some ringtones you don't like in those folders

Download
The program requires Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5. If your device is complaining about wrong .NET version or missing assemblies, [re]install it first. Install only from the site mentioned above, because other packages have been reported as broken.
If something doesn't work, install the test version first and report what happens.
The program is licensed as GNU GPL v3 (free as in freedom), source code is available.

Seems a good idea; in effect what we have here is a ringtone randomiser.

Will try it out and give you some feedback.

This is what I was looking for... in two ways.

a) For a long time I wanted a random ringtone.
b) And recently I want to know how to make apps for WM5 or 6. I know basic programming and i learn easily, i'm interested in making some apps, but how? what tools do you use? Could you explain? Could yoy PM me or email me? or here?

Regards.

.NET and C# is it, and the APIs used are Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status (for monitoring incoming calls) and basic registry manipulation. I can release the source excerpts or the whole code later, once I clean everything up.

That's all I need thanks.

Well while i'm here, do you know a site or thread which has basic instructions about making a "hello world" app for PPC? Just to get me started.

I don't want to mess your thread, I'll post a new one for this.

Thanks!
