Excellent!!! :D finallY!

Nifty little application that works in WM6 too! Definitely a keeper.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Xen:
Many thanks for that little jewel.

The simplicity of this solution is exactly I was looking for, it assigns ringtone to ringtone fileld in contact. No registry hacks, no monitorning incoming calls, it not resides in memory all the time, simply like that!

Problems I've found so far:

- ringtones must be copied to \Windows\Rings\ folder to be visible (at last on my WM6 TyTn). It think app shoud look for rings in \My Documents\, \My Documents\My Ringtones\ or maybe in custom defined folder?

Enhancements proposal:

- option to remove ring from group (to allow system global ringtone to be used)

- backup/restore. It will be helpful after OS upgrade because Outlook/ActiveSync ignores ringtone field in contact data. Simple text format of the file will be great i.e. to maually change ringtone location/name before restore.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jcespi2005:
Great app, good work on this.

I'm going to test instead of PhotoContacts (yes, i know about photos, but for me the most important thing is to assign different ringtones to different category).

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] carlosp_uk:
v3patel

This was a great little app - thank you loads!

I have developed the idea a stage further, inspired by this, and have made a new app called 'Tone Manager' which lets you do it "all in one sweep" if you see what I mean - basically, you assemble a list of categories / ringtones, order them by priority, and then it sweeps through your contacts and assigns ringtones.

Release thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=327254

Great Start

V3Patel, Outstanding!! I've been going crazy looking for an app like this one. :)

Tried it on my herald with WM6 and worked. If you don't mind, I found two bugs that could help you improve:

1. For some reason it didn't creat the shortcut needed for it to appear on the programs folder. Easy solution though.

2. It does support the storage card, but doesn't tell you it does. What I did was hit the search button beside the folder option, tap on any of my storage card .mp3 ringtones and voila... storage card appears as an option.

Thanks

Create a Shortcut

Your problem happened to many of us. Depending of where you chose to install it, say program memory or the storage card, go to the progam files folder within it. There you'll find a folder called VipRingCab... copy the application file inside it and then paste it as a shortcut in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs... And problem solved.

How about saving the selected ringtone for the categories in its own database (text file can do it). This way, we know which ringtone is assigned to which category.

Hi V3patel

I think I've found a flaw in the app. I use Pocket Mirror to synchronise multiple Outlook contacts folders into a single Contacts file on the PPC. Because of this almost all of my contacts have more than one category assigned (since PM assigns a category to identify which Outlook folder the contact came from.) It seems that VIP PIM RingTones will only work if a contact has only one category assigned to it.

Am I right or am I doing something wrong?

Is it possible that a future release could assign ringtones where the selected Category is one of those associated with the contact.

Cheers

Mark
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] v3patel:
For me it is working with Multiple Category for same contacts

For me it is working with Multiple Category for same contacts. Ie if I have contact "A" assigned to cat "X" and "Y" and contact "B" assign to category "Y" and "Z".

when I run vipringtone and assign ringtone "r1" to category y both contact A and B will have ringtone "r1" assigned.

Only one ringtone assigned to contact so after above step if you assigned ringtone "r2" to category "Z" contact "A" will have "r1" and contact "B" will have "r2" ringhtone.

HTH
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] phillim:
Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll give it another go.

FYI, I'm using the "official" TMob WM6 ROM.

The app can successfully assign ringtones to individual contacts but I have no sucess assigning to categories if there's more than 1 associated with the contact. FWIW, Pocket Mirror sets category names which end with an asterisk, would this have any effect?

<edit> I should also have said that it works fine when there is only 1 category (the PM category) associated with a contact.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] v3patel:
Program assign rintone to Contact not to category

FYI This Program assign rintone to Contact not to category. If you select Category it will assign selected ringtone to all contact in that category.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] phillim:
v3patel

Yes I understand that. I just meant that if I use the opening tab of the app to assign a ringtone to an individual contact, it works fine. It also works fine when I assign a ringtone to all contacts associated with a single category. I just can't get it to work at all for contacts which are tagged with more than one category.

I have tried creating some dummy contacts with single category associations - no problem, but as soon as I tag them with more than one category the app does nothing. Actually it goes through the motions of scanning the PIM database but makes no changes.

One further observation, the app only works after it has been freshly started. If I try to change the ringtone without restarting the app it fails to work even with only one category.

There's probably something missing from my setup which is required to make it work properly - any suggestions? (Don't say a competent user!! :D)

Probebaly one of the following issue.

1. You do not have any contacts in your PIM(PPC Contacts)

2. If you ahve Contacts they do not have Categories Assigned to it.

DO this.

Create two dummy contact one with Category="Cat1" and one with "cat2"

now start vipPimRIngTone and go to category tab

you should see all, cat1, cat2 in list.

if you can assign the ring tones from Storage card as ring tone manager do it, it will be so good as i keep all my ring tones in the storage card as i have a lot of categories on my contact and it's not healthy to the pocket pc to lose the space on windows folder by adding a lot of ring tones once you will fix this issue the program will be excellent

found a bug...

v3patel,

I definitely found a bug as I now have tested this on 4 different ROMs and two different Kaiser phones.

When your app runs and launches WMP to play a sound, WMP will hang the system if you wait more than a few seconds to close WMP. It is definitely your app as this does not occur if your app is not the one that launched WMP.

Suggestion to work-around the problem until you can find a fix... can you set s player to launch instead of WMP? like... "Storage Card\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe"

Also, if you can have the last settings saved as 'default' when you open the app that would be cool too!

thx!

I tested on Kaiser with Hyperdragon III pro rom and NATF2.1 rom it worked fine. So this is not this appliation issue.

But now in next version it is going to play those file based on what is your defaults so if your mp3 plays as default from WPM then it will play mp3's using WMP if wav is setup to play using TCPMP then it will play using TCPMP.
