first version: the program ramdonised the ringtones of the path. ;) it´s a little bit dificult the instalation due to it's necesary install before net NETCFv35.

beta version: the program only randomises 3 horrorous ringtones. they are in "\my documents\". :(. it`s easy install it. it's a great idea If you want to leave a ringtone for some special contact but i don't get it yet.

i like much first version.

thanks Koterpillar for your effort.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Now that is strange. Where are the ringtones you want to be used, and can you select them in the standard phone settings dialog?

One more try at special ringtones explanation:

1. You set a song "Living next door to Alice" to a contact "Alice". You do that using Windows Mobile contacts application, not mine.

2. You hear "Living next door to Alice". Are you sure it's Alice?

2a. You add "Living next door to Alice" to exclusions. Now you're sure you'll only hear it when Alice calls.

Hi,

The program is good, but please leads version numbers.

Otherwise you confused and nobody knows what version he has.

The test program is not working at all for me on a Sprint Mogul.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
BenDStraw, the reason could be that your phone is CDMA. Care to help? Export your registry at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Phone] and post here.

Starbase64, sure.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sigc:
i,m sorry. I did not know that could put tones to contacts with windows mobile. before i do it winth a software for that. I always had my tones in a folder called "sonitonos" in the storage card. Windows mobile recognizes the mp3s that are "my documents" and "storage card (to my knowledge). Where can I change the registry with a registry editor in order to windows mobile search my tones in my folder of the storage card?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
I have checked with my PDA, and it turns out I've made an incorrect assumption that only default location tones will work. So, the test version doesn't look where Windows Mobile doesn't, so it would not recognize ringtones you have in the non-default locations.

I will update the program soon, but in the meanwhile, you can look at this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sigc:
i have looked the link but i can't do it. i'll hope your new version

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr.jcarter:
I felt that specifying a folder was a good thing. Now all my custom made tones will be played along with the default windows ones (which I don't want). I want it to only play ringtones I put in a certain folder. Any way to do this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Really Soon Now (tm).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Version 1.2

Now you can include as much folders as you wish.

Moreover, you can exclude just some files if you keep them in the same folder as ringtones.

If the program somewhy doesn't work for you, first download a TEST version and report what happens after a call (it will display the new ringtone set).

The program still requires .NET Framework 3.5, but doesn't require to be running all the time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rott3333:
Trying on a Pantech smart phone

The main program seems to only play one song. The test program will only play two different songs after calling about 10 times from a list of about 10 ringtones. It does prompted the song after the all. I am using the path "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones". That is the path that the phone can see and play ringtones.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Version 1.2.1

rott3333, which files are there the program won't play?

The program should now be more stable, and include MIDI ringtones which I forgot were available.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rott3333:
The ring tones are just mp3 files. The phone can play all the ring tones if I set the ring tone manually. Is there way in the test to show the list of ring tones? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rott3333:
I just tried to install this on my hermes running WM6, I first installed the .net 3.5 then installed the Call Suprise and got,

"Could not load type 'System.Func 2' from assembly 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture-neutral,PublicKeyToken=969DB8053D3322AC'
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
For the list of tones, try this version.

And for your Hermes, I blame the NET framework version you've installed - where from?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr.jcarter:
do we need to place a shortcut in the startup folder? i installed your latest cab and noticed it doesn't place anything in there..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
No, you don't have to place it into startup.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jamaljmys:
Thanks alot

working on my Kaisar very well

please Improve it more and more i think it will be a great app.

there is some slow when doing after call.

thank you again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rareness4:
I love this program. Nice work. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr.jcarter:
I agree. This program is great. Thanks and keep up the fantastic work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rott3333:
Here is where I download it from also it's the same version that I installed on the pantech that does not give that error,

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
rott3333,

All I can say is I run it on Hermes without troubles. What does \Windows\cgacutil.exe show?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rott3333:
I hard reset mine lastnight and reinstalled and it works great thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rott3333:
Ok so on the Pantech it get the list of all the songs, there are 9 listed. I call the phone let it ring then it comes back says "

CallSurpise.exe

FormatException

at System.Int32.Parse(String s,NumberStyles style, IFormatProvider provider)

at NeboHodimo.CallSurpise.MainForm.Main(String[] args)

Then it prompts with the next song.

Tone\Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones\MyWish.mp3 selected out of 9 total.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Glad it works on Hermes.

For Pantech: try to call a few more times, please. I hope the first error with FormatException will fix itself. If it does not, try clearing the checkbox in settings and then setting it again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sigc:
it work very fine.

thanks very much
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jkutan:
Great app. and i tried with error below:

CallSurprise.exe

IndexOutOfRangeException

at

NeboHodimo.CallSurprise.MainForm.SetRandomTone(String Notification, String[]tones)

and many more ......

can someone help??

TIA
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Thanks for the error report. Please install the test version and tell what happens.

Meanwhile, can you check there indeed are at least some ringtones in directories you've chosen? (Did you choose any?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jkutan:
Ok, tried TEST version and a Box showing what next will be running after one call...

and seem no error with the TEST version...

what should i do now??

EDITED::: I at last got it running, it was a setting error of myself...THANKs
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sigc:
i am using this program and it is fantastic. I use it in order to all my contacs without specific ringtones of one contact.

thanks Koterpillar Koterpillar!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wizzmaster:
Problem...

hi there, i have a JasJar and this program is not working...i have been trying to put ringtones in all possible folders you have claimed and nothing is found...

although i have installed .NET frameworkk 3.5 and i tried both versions (test and final) but still nothing is available...

well i love the idea of this program so help me make it work...

thanx in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
wizzmaster,

Have you entered the directory location in the "Search in folders" field in the program?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wizzmaster:
Well....

with the test version i specified two paths...

\Windows\Rings (where i have added some mp3's)

and

\Storage Card\rings (where i have 10 mp3 ringtones in it)

when clicking (OK) it showed a message saying the following ringtones found...etc

but i tried to call my number too many times...unfortunately the default windows ringtone keeped showing up...why is that I DONT KNOW...

any idea !!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] starbase64:
hi,

after incomming call, the program crashes.

error report:

CallSurprise.exe
FormatException

bei System.Int32.Parse(String s, NumberStyles style, IFormatProvider provider)
bei NeboHodimo.CallSurprise.MainForm.Main(String[] args)

I found the first version is the best.

Unfortunately, it has always forget where the tones are stored.

wfg

starbase64

@Koterpillar:

You can reprogram the first version?

Always ringtones from a fixed directory "\storage card\rings".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
wizzmaster:

Does the notification "some tone has been selected" pop up and did you (no offense, but things happen) check the "Randomize" check box?

starbase64:

Follow my last advice to rot3333, that is, un-check and then check "Randomize" check box.

To everyone:

I still plan to improve everything. The program now is slow a bit, and entering folder locations isn't straightforward. Hope you like the new version, if not, feel free to change it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wizzmaster:
thanx for your reply...

well...yes i checked Randomise check box...and i didnt remove the program i kept it all day and for every call i recieve the same BORING WM6 default ringtone shows up...and for your info i dont have any program that control the ringtone or changes it or whatever....

and one more thing...i removed the path of \windows \rings its now directed to my SD Card of which doesnt have that ringtone...

but its weird really
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
What do you mean by "kept"? Have it open? Don't do that, remember to press "OK".

Also, does the notification show up after the call?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wizzmaster:
i meant i didnt remove it...i didnt open it...i was waiting for any call to see what will happen and still... only the default ugly ringtone keeps playing for every incoming call...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
I admit I'm out of ideas (i hate hard reset). I'm developing the new version now, hopefully it will work for you too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ilordvader:
Hey guys

it did not work on my Tilt :(

says i dont have updated software

.Net Framework in my phone or something

So removed it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
ilordvader, do what it says: install .NET Framework 3.5.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ilordvader:
Thankyou :)

God Bless you

i use nebodimo call surprise and i am very happy with the program.

I have a Blackjack with WM6 and .Net Framework 3.5 installed and I am having trouble using the program. I used the test program and here is the error message:

Any help would be greatly appreciated; I would love to use this program. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Is "Blackjack" a smartphone, or a Pocket PC?

It seems to be a problem with your .Net installation. Reinstall the release version, if possible, after a hard reset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hakushox:
It's a smartphone
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] redsix:
dialog box

Awesome program, a must-have on my Mogul. Is there anyway to suppress the dialog box though? Can it randomize the ringtones without telling me whats coming next after a call?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
redsix, uninstall the TEST version and install the regular one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ebroder592:
Yes, the Blackjack II is a smartphone. Can anyone provide me help? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] redsix:
Regular version works perfect now. I had tried it before the test version, but it didn't work. I uninstalled/re-installed CF3.5 and that apparently fixed everything because it works like a charm now. Appreciate the help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Ebroder592, I suggest reinstalling .NET CF. And I'll soon release an updated version which will only requires .NET CF 2.0.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ebroder592:
I followed your advice by reinstalling Net CF3.5 and now it works beautifully! Thanks for the application and quick support!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
DRM is pure evil. However, Call Surprise will just tell Windows what to play, so if you can set anything as a ringtone with Windows Mobile interface, it will play just as fine when selected randomly in Call Surprise.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amsatnetg:
Koterpiller,

One heck of an idea. I will try it out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emailc:
I cannot make "random ringtone" by using mortscript. I would like to clarify do the belows matter..

- can the script recognize mp3 files with other non-English characters?

- does it fail to work while S2U2 is running?

Thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
This thread is not about using mortscript.

This program, however, recognizes all filenames, but I haven't tested it with S2U2.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jackuuuuu:
Thank you for this wonderful program :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] datruth:
Koterpillar

I love your app. I've been looking for a app like this for a long time. You take donations?

Any thought on setting multiple ringtones to one contact? ie. set 3 songs to my wife cell and they play randomly only when she calls?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DonTay89:
Great app :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
datruth, it is possible, but I haven't looked into it yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] skullxxx:
Hi author!

I also love the idea of your program, BUT it doesn't work on my ASUS P525 WM6 with CNF 3.5 installed.

Same error like someone mentioned above - "System.Func '3"

"System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0..."

Strange :(

BTW, I'm Russian too :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] skullxxx:
It's ok now - it was a clever decision to use non-Misrosoft framework package :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeromy.figueroa:
BLAH MY MOGUL SUCKS not just mad at it

ok i've read all ten pages of posts and no one seems to have my problem so i guess i suck. i just recently updated my HTC MOGUL to wm 6.1 and it says in the package that is comes with net cf 3.5 , so i tried using the app and no dice. it tells me

" this application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device."

so then i hit quit at the bottom of the scree and get this:

"the application failed to load required components/ If the .NET Compact Framework is installed on a storage card, please ensure that this card is in place and launch the application again. if this fails, a reinstallation of the .Net Compact Framework is recommended. Support info : -2147483643 (80000005)"

please some body help me i want random ringtones so bad lol, oo and on a second note, is there a limit to how many ringers it will register? i dont want to over load it.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Reinstall .NET Compact Framework 3.5. See the first post (updated) for a download link.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
And I believe the number of ringtones will not affect the program performance significantly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeromy.figueroa:
htc mogul net cf 3.5

when i try to install it , it tells me installation unsuccessful.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
If you have enough space left on device - that might be a reason of "unsuccessful" as well - I think you should try to back everything up, do a hard reset and try to install CF 3.5 right away.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sjeje:
Hi,

I have a diamond and I've installed the program. I've put my rings in "Internal Storage/rings" so i wrote that under " search in folders " but it keeps ringing the ring i've chosen in the windows settings. I don't know what I do wrong :'(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
sjeje, what does the test version report?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sjeje:
It says that it has found the rings, then when I call myself, it's the ring in windows settings that launches. Eventually, it says which ring the program has chosen but it's not the one I heard. Do I have to change something in windows settings ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Am I correct to assume you've called yourself another time, after the program has changed the ringtone?

If so, must be something pretty new in Diamond. I'll need your help with that: set some ringtone in Windows settings and find the place in registry where it's been stored (just use any registry editor with a search function to search for the name of ringtone). After that, post the key name here (all of them if you've got several).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sjeje:
Yeah I called myself multiple times :p Now it's working, I just put one of my random rings in the windows folder and chose it in windows settings. It seems It wasn't working if the tone in windows settings was not one of the random rings. Maybe it was obvious to do that in the first place ??? I dunno, anyway it works now, and it rocks :D I'm gonna made a little donation, little because I'm a student :cool:

Edit : Your paypal doesn't work ? It says the account isn't allowed to take my funds :'(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Koterpillar:
Glad you got it working, although I don't think it should be that way (one tone in \Windows), and works for me anyhow.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gagan_779:
