Ok, now a solution to my problem in the post above:

I set the register to point to Windows as the default folder, went to that folder in File Explorer, tapped the ringtone I wanted and selected "Set as Ringtone" in the pop-up menu. It worked, the ringtone was copied to the Windows/Rings folder and actually worked. However, the default in the register still points to Windows as default folder, thereby causing the ringtone list in the phone app to point only to the files in the Windows folder. Strange thing is that the file that was copied to the Windows/Rings folder acted as a ringtone, even though the default folder in the register points to the Windows folder, not the Windows/Rings folder...

I then changed the registry to Windows/Rings. That disabled the ringtone and brought back the horrible Windows Default ringtone, which is logical, since I forgot the / at the end. Then I went to the register again, changed the register to point to Windows/Rings/. I then went to the Windows folder, tapped the ringtone of my choice and selected "set as ringtone". The file was copied to the Rings folder, and now works again, with the Phone app looking in the right folder for ringtones. However, in the list in the Phone App, there are numerous ringtones mentioned that are not in that folder at all, but in the Wondows folder, not the Windows/Rings!

It is all very strange indeed, but fortunately everything works again and I can once again select the ringtone I want.

So this trick don`t work? :roll: ...I have the same problem, but If I edit one by one the ringtones in Photo contacts it work...no metter where is the *.mp3 or *.wma file....I want to set one *.mp3 or *.wma as a default ring tone from the SD card....and not from the phone memory!....any suggestions?!

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Pc78:
Sorry this was me above...I noticeted that even with the reg file edited when I tap and hold on the file...to set as a ring tone it say that the file was succesfully copied to the windows\... directory.... :cry:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] frewys:
Works really great for me.thanks!

But can only use .WMA files. anyone else with Qtek?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Pc78:
...strange...now is working fine for me 2 :P ....I have made wma files instead of mp3 and set the ringtone again....but it does work only in the original PPC Filemanager!...

Thx mate, great tip :wink:

The settings In reply to all.

Use the staps i discribed on top of this topic. Don't forget the slashes at the beginning and end( \Storage Card\....\). And if you are using a mp3 player don't forget to associate mp3's and midi files with Windows media player. If you use PocketMusic go to Player options File Types and select none. This wil do. No you can play mp3's from your storage card.

I made a dir on my storage card called it Ringtones. So in the registry i change the line to

\Storage Card\Ringtones\

This must work.

:lol:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Pc78:
I have made the same as U describe...and when I tap on the song...stored on my SD card to set it as a ring ton always the same msg...that it was saved to the \Windows\Rings\ directory.... :roll:

Regards,

Primoz
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sdamion:
How come

This wil only let you set a default ringtone stored on your storage card to mp3 midi or wma. You don't need to kopie the file any were only in te folder on your storage card. You can use file explorer. Or a card reader in your computer.

If you want to use it for contacts then you need too use photo contact

Now i see go to settings > phone> and then you can select a ringtone from the drop down list.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Pc78:
OK done...I hope it will work now...thx mate! :wink:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kitarolivier:
I've found that the SD cart is not immediately recognized by the system after a suspend/sleep mode. Applications that are stored on the SD card and that are called by a hardware button generally don't work when pressing in sleep mode (program not found).

So I suppose that when the phone wakes up when a call is received, the system tries to load the sound on the SD, but the card is not 'mounted' yet and the default windows ringtone is played.

Hope this will help.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Pc78:
Yes U R wright!...the same problem with some applications...like GPRS Monitor installed on the SD card...at soft reset, it gives me an error, so I have to manually start the program. The same is with the ringtones... :roll: So it doesn`t work everytime... :cry:

Hm .. should be working .. in some day to ;) .. as I put the files in "Storage" and not at the SD card.. had same problem U have with Photo Contact ringtones if I used the SD to store them .. so I just have the Storage for User tones and User pics nowadays :)

Hope Ur wrong .. time will tell .. ;)

Carlis
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carlis:
The fix is to reassign MP3 to Win Media Player..

Either by select none in PocketMusic file types settings

or by Pocket Tweak (freeware)

or .. Ur choice of file associate program ;)

Then it works again .. :)

Mp3 as Ringones and as Photo Contacts tones..

Carlis
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Pc78:
Thx for the tip :wink: ....if I put the ringtone in the storage...does it take me some RAM or this is not the same...I`m new in the I-mate JAM comunity :roll:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carlis:
The Storage is a "safe" memory .. part of rom .. so if U dont charge it and let it dry out of juice .. or do a hard reset.. data is still there ..

So its not the same as the RAM .. its around 7mb extra storage card .. always inserted.. :)

To install PHM RegEdit on the Jam, don't use the activesync/PC version. Go to his programs list and select the Pocket PC 2002,2003 for ARM. Download that file to your jam and run it directly from the jam file explorer.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Geitenbreier:
Ok nice add-on for the ringtone guru's here. I got a problem with photo contacts that when adding a ringtone and picture to a person...when added it works and then it sometimes resets to default. When checking the added ringtone is gone and so is the added picture.

Haven been adding ringtone and picture several times and works for some days and then the problem occures. Next to this problem I allways add my country code to the number +31.. sometime when a person calls which is in mij contacts it lists as unknown because country code is not broadcasted....but then again when checking call history it list the person as listed in contacts....anyone with the same thing?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ddrddr:
i have this same problem

no matter if i soft reset, or re-insert the sd card and wait, still same problem

it sometimes works when I reassign the person to the picture/ringtones again... etc

the pictures are fine, it's the ringtones that are a problem
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] snorlax:
does anyone know how to order the programs launched by the \windows\startup folder because when a remove IA_caller_ID.lnk from it and when I launch it manually after everythnig has restarted (after my soft reset), Photo Contact works perfectly... It the same thing with OzBT (for those who know it)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Fuad:
I used the Storage insted of the card. Storage is built in RAM and it is faster and I have 7m free. it is working.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ddrddr:
gd that it works for you

technically it should work because it's build in the machine

but i've even tried a different directory on the machine and it still reverts back to the default ringtones

i have to agree that storage works, but it only worked on occasions for me

i put it back to windows/rings already, can't stand that default tone >.<

WE CANNOT RUN MP3 AS RINGTONE DIRECTLY FROM SDCARD

this has been discussed many times. SD is too slow. when the phone received an incoming call, it will try to find a ringtone. even we pointing to sd card, but because it is too slow, our device will use the default ringtone (in windows directory)

solution: put in \storage\, not in \storage card\

ofcoz this will take some memory, but use BIGSTORAGE HACK then you will be fine.

Not working

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I was searching for a way to change the directory on my phone to the storage card for my ring tones for my Windows Smartphone.

I did as instructed, and went into the registry and located HKE_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring

I changed it from \Windows\ to \Storage Card\

Now when I go to change my ring tones, its not showing the storage card, but instead still showing the list of my old ring tones, but I am getting an error when selecting them (obviously because the registry is pointing in the wrong place), and it is not showing the music on my storage card to be used as a ring tone..

One thing I have to mention though, is the ring tones I have on my storage card are in .mp3 format.

This didn't seem to be an issue with my old smartphone (Audiovox SMT 5600), and I never had to edit the registry for it, but for some reason with my new phone (Samsung Blackjack with WM5), it is not reading them.

Any help would be appreciated.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Omni4:
Also note, the file itself is saved in the root directory on the Storage Card (ie: \Storage Card\ and not \Storage Card\Ringtones\)

I am not using any other 3rd party mp3 players. Just Windows Media Player 10 that came with WM5

Workaround

Someone has found a not so pretty Workaround, but it works!:)

http://www.htcwizardweb.net/node/1030​

Move Your files from Rings (or at least the largest ones) to

\Storage Card\My Documents​

And NO you CAN NOT have a separate folder. The workaround is that windows looks both places.

So if someone with insight in WM6 could find WHERE it's stored that it should look in

\windows\rings​

AND

My douments​

then it could be possible to add a more sensible path....:rolleyes:

Q: How do save my MP3 ringtone to Storage card?

A: You've got some MP3 files that you want to set as ringtones but you don't want to save them to your device memory for obvious reasons. The easiest way to do it is just save them to the root of your Storage card, or to the My Documents folder of the storage card. So simple.

Incredible script, thank you very much, quick question, I'm trying the create a folder to then upload a file into that folder on the fly ,any better way to do the following?

#!/bin/bash

date=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`

Thank You.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GermainZ:
Looks good, although you always want to quote your variables when using them. Also, using $() instead of `` is clearer.

#!/bin/bash

date=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)

uploadto="$(devhost -u username -p password folder-create "$date" -f 22655 | grep Id: | cut -d: -f2)"

[MENTION=4775688]GermainZ[/MENTION]: Can you put something like folder-enter [folder name]. and multiple actions?

I.E: devhost -u user -p userpass folder-create rom; folder-enter rom; upload rom.zip? Something like that? (PS: Just giving suggestions :D )
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GermainZ:
I suppose I could offer some switch to save the token and/or reuse an existing token. So basically, you could do this instead of logging in each time:

devhost -u user -p userpass --save-token folder-create rom //since the ID is returned here, you can get it yourself to use it next, either manually or with a simple shell script
devhost --use-token upload -f <ID>

I don't think it's possible to support multiple commands without writing my own parser from scratch, but I'll take a quick look. Don't hold your breath, tho.

great work with this script!

I had a request, is it possible to modify the script to take backup of my entire account? i am planning to migrate to different server so want to backup all files from my dev-host account
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GermainZ:
You can write a script that uses this one as a library to do that. A simple example to print a tree of your files/folders (python3):

http://ix.io/89W

Place it in the same directory devhost.py is in (or copy devhost.py to a new directory and place this with it). Replace "username" and "password" (line 5) by your username/password, and run it.

If it works fine for you, I can modify it to download the files/create folders as well.
