Default WinMo 6.5 - Can't change ringtone?

I recently flashed my Topaz to a 6.5 ROM, and I'm loving it. It's slick, smooth abnd fast. My only gripe is that no matter where I seem to put an MP3, I never have the option of choosing anything but one of the three default rings as a ringtone:

Ring01 - WindowsPhone
Ring02 - Velvet
Ring03 - Flame

They're all the same!!
Surely Microsoft hasn't locked this down?

"oh listen! someone's got a Windows phone! let's point and laugh and joke at them with their gay ringtone that can't be changed!"

Theres two ways you can set the ringtone.

First you can select the mp3 file and from the menu select "Set as Ringtone"
or
Copy the mp3 file to /my documents/my ringtones and then select it from the ringtone list as normal

I don't have the option on right click menu to 'Set as Ringtone'
Placing MP3 in that location does not show it in the list.

Could this be a Cooked ROM issue?

I am using TOM Topaz from here:

use file explorer, select and hold on the mp3 file, u will se options such as copy, paste and set as ringtones.


by the way " /my documents/my ringtones " this is the location in the device, not in SD card

Do you have a "/my documents/my ringtones" folder? What's in it? If you don't, create one and see if it makes a difference. Oh and "", to those who seem to think cooked roms are great and stable..

I've a similar issue... Rom in signature.
I've set a .mid file as ring. Anyway it's present in \my documents\suonerie. But it doesn't work. When I call it uses a different ring. And if I go into sound and notification settings I can't play that .mid for a preview, but it's playable with wmp...wazzup??

HTC Sensation - Rom: ViperS 1.6.3 - Kernel: Faux 010b2

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 GT-P7310 - StockRom_PRO V7.0 ICS

same problem with me I've made a folder on the sd card on my experia x2 named My Ringtones(this helped to put my mp3's there and the phone to recognize them as a ringtones) and when I enter my sounds and notifications it shows all the mp3 files I've put there and use as personalized rings and they work but sometimes when somebody call me my phone start ringing with some strange win mo default melodie(ugly SE melody) and I have to change it again with some of my own's but as u can guess it lasts just a few days and than the old story repeats........
any suggestions.....

Exclamation Can't set ring tone for incomming calls

I loaded WM6.5 ROM on my Treo 750.
Everything is great except one issue...
... I cannot set the Incoming Call Ring Tone.
When I go into the options of the phone, it is set to "none".
I set it to "Vibrate and Ring", then set a ring tone.
When I save/exit, it reverts back to "none".
I tried mid ring tones, wma, and mp3.
I tried ring tone only and vibrate only also...
... But no matter what I set it to, it keeps reverting back to none.
It WILL NOT ring or vibrate on incoming calls.
The SMS, Voice Mail, Missed Call, and email notifications all work fine.

Oddly, when I go into settings, sound options, then notifications, the incomming call ring tone is set.
I can change it and it saves. But it has no affect.
And the options in the phone dialer still has "none" selected.

ANY Help would be great!

Thanks
