hey, my heartiest thanks and warm regards for this. especially where you prepended the type of file it is (e.g. "Notifier_..."), nice touch.

 

this is great how customizable this all is.

 

does anyone know why these ringtones (installed into a Ringtones directory on the droid) come up as selectable automagically in the "phone ringtone" pulldown but not the "notification ringtone" pulldown? the droid's notification tones kinda blow; the bb's are much better.

 

How can you set these to beep more than once though?

I am from the blackberry and am used to the sonar notifier, but, on my blackberry I could choose how often the sound was repeated. On the hero I cannot.

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you. I can always use more ringtones. Not that I ever actually answer my phone!

 

Thanks, glad to get the old BB notification tones

 

I don't have internet on my desktop. Is there a way to download this to my phone and transfer it to my desktop? When I try to download it I get a message saying its not a file type that can opened on this device

 

Download Astro from the App Market. That should enable you to download .zip files from your phone.

 

Use something like Audacity to copy and paste the tone repeatedly, however many times you want, till it is about 30 seconds long. Then export it as an mp3 file.

 

Since we are off-topic, those missing their BB profiles can use Quick Profiles to set-up BB-like profiles on their Droids.

I believe there are other profile apps available as well in the Marketplace.

 

Thanks for posting but Im curious, how do I get these onto my phone? I tried to dl them onto my phone directly but no success. Any suggestions.

 

1. go to Android Marketplace and download Astro File Manager
2. zip files into folders (i.e. all notifications to notifications and then zip that folder)
3. email zipped folders to yourself.
4. download
5. open zipped folder in Astro (you should see the "notifications" nonzipped foldeR)
6. long press --> edit --> copy
7. press "home"
8. long press --> edit --> paste

should work for you

Thanks for these, they rock! Anyone have the "Outlook" chime for email tho? My ex had this on her BB and I totally want it... Dont see it in the tones though.

 

This is great! Came off a BB Curve, and the Droid notification tones rather suck.

 

Double...

 

Ok- I'm having some problems here. I have downloaded the ZIP file to my computer and have copied it over to the SD card. I can't seem to figure out how to get the ring tones to load onto the phone. I don't see "notifications" folders that you guys are talking about. I'm on 2.1-update1. Any help would be GREAT.

 

We created the folders on the SD Card using Astro. Or, at least I did.

You have to make sure the folders are unzipped as well. As soon as they're unzipped and on your SD card, use the "Android Music System" to select your ringtone/notification/alarm and select one.

 

thanks.. only a few useful 2 me, but thanks
