ADPCM Ringtones [True Audio Ringtones for 7100 handhelds] - NOT FOR 7100i
I'm starting a new thread since the last one, "ADPCM Ringtone Mystery Half Solved" doesn't do the situation justice. The mystery's at least 3/4 solved now ;).

You'll need a couple things to make an .adp ringtone that'll play on the 7100:
1) an audio editor (Cool Edit, etc) 2) a webserver 3) The Philips version of Mobile Phone Tools. Get it here: http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/c/c...p2_ics_eng.zip First edit your .wav or .mp3 down to about 15 seconds. We need to make sure that the final .adp file is under 120K, which seems to be the max file size the 7100 can handle. Save the file as an MS PCM wav. Next, install Mobile Phone Tools. Skip the part that asks for your Identifier, fax #, etc. Also, whenever you start the program it's gonna ask how your phone is connected to your PC. Since it only works with Philips phones, click cancel. Mobile Phone Tools can apparently be used to sync contacts, email, etc, but we have a Blackberry so we don't care about that functionality. All we need this program for is the Multimedia Center. Click the Menu button, then Tools, then Multimedia Center. Once this opens click on the button that says Melody Studio. Open your wav, click Save As, and select Oki ADPCM as the file type. Now upload this file to your web server. Before you can download to the 7100, you need to make sure that the correct MIME type has been set. MIME types tell a browser how to handle certain file extensions. You want to add the MIME type "audio/adpcm adp". The way to do this differs from server to server, so check your web server's documentation or speak w/ your hosting company. Once you've got the MIME type set, and the .adp file uploaded, open up the BB browser and navigate to the URL where your .adp is. It can take a few minutes for it to load, so don't panic. Once the Media Player has loaded and your ring tone is playing, click the scroll wheel and choose save. It'll ask for confirmation that you want to save it (you can also change the file name at this point). That's it. You've now got a ringtone infinitely better than midi on your 7100 ;) I'll be updating this as more information is known. There's still a few bugs to work out as far as the absolute max file size, etc. |

A good audio editor to use to shorten your tracks is Goldwave, there is a free trial that you can use from download.com. Direct link here: GoldWave 5.06
|
Actually, you can also use the melody studio to shorten your files without the use of another editor.
BTW, great info!! |

Oh nice, I didn't even realize that you could edit them from within that program. I'm thinking about setting up a site where people can upload their own ringers to download to their phone. I'm already working on the upload scripts but I'm thinking of maybe having a WAP interface for quick browsing. Anybody have any experience in this department that can point me in the right direction?

I succesfully create the file and i upload it to my yahoo brief case and it was uploaded fine. I can even download it off using my computer but when i use the BB browser to go on the same page, the file is not there. Any idea?
***Ok nvm i got it to show up on yahoo briefcase but when i tried to "get link" the file i get error "http error 406:Not acceptable- the page you are trying to load is not supported by the browser.Please try loading a different page." Right now i have two files on there, one end in .adp ext and the other one end in adpcm extension and both seem not to work. What did i do wrong guys BTW when i save the file as .adp ext it seem like its a Ms access project file. Is that right? |

What server do you use to upload Adp files then? |
Basically this is for people who are administrators of their own web server (or atleast have administrative rights to an apache or IIS server) and know how to configure MIME types. For instance, I configured our IIS server for this purpose (although after many failed previous attempts, I was told by RIM that this wasn't possible).
Thanks for the new info. I will test it out tomorrow. Very cool! |

Hope that may help. I don't see why it would need to be WAP/WML but rather stripped down HTML/PHP (and then supported by most updated BBs). :) |

You are the friggin MAN.... way to stay on top of it.... Did what you said and it worked like a charm..... gunna be up all night making ringtones.

simply uploading the .adp file to any ol' web server you have access to is not sufficient. you must have administrative privileges on the web server, so that you can set up the adpcm mime type correctly, in order for it to work. |
...Is that Led Zepplin 'Kasmir'? No no, that's just my phone ringing!!

I have a BB without a Data plan (for now), and I would like new ringtones...
How are the ringtones stored once on the blackberry? Are they .cod files that could be sent? Could anyone with an uploaded ringtones could check? ("javaloader -usb dir") I had a Sanyo SCP 6000 (Skinny) before, and it had a PERFECT classic phone ringtone, people were really thinking if was a real old phone :) The classic phone ringtone on the BB is utter crap compared. I'd be so happy if it could be extracted from the cell phone... And we could make easy the download ringtones, sparing Rogers users their precious "unlimited" bandwidth... |

You create a text file and write in it these following things: Options +Indexes addType audio/adpcm adp The first one allows you to browse the website folders contents and only that folder and the second one adds the mime types for adp simple as that. you can also add these two if you want to be able to upload Jar and Jad files to be able to do over the air downloads: AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad AddType application/java-archive jar HOPE THAT HELPS |
Hi,
Just wondering does anyone have a link to an example that I could download as I'm curious to hear the difference! :smile: |
