Any info on my alarm thing???

You need to use Rings Extended to choose other files as ringtones UNLESS you use the correct directory structure and manually copy ringtones, notification tones and alarm tones for each type in their own folders.

EG:

SD Card Root
audio / ringtones / stalkingyourmom.mp3
audio / ringtones / somecrappopmusictune.mp3
audio / alarms / somecrappopmusictune.mp3
audio / notifications / awesomebleepityboop.mp3

I'll do the latter. I saw the "notifcations" folder when I moved all my music yesterday

Django x2 · 27 May 2010 at 12:45

Ok, I created an "alarms" folder under the "audio" folder and moved my song to it.

Doesnt appear when I go to the alarm and try to choose the tone.

I fail

Indeed!

or try putting Alarm_name.mp3 as the name.

Had to dump Helix 2, it kept messing up the icon labels in the app drawer, shame

Just installed the latest Launcher Pro beta, looks identical to the old version, no custom dock, do I need to uninstall the old version prior to slapping the new one on?

Edit: ignore me, I'm stupid, just had to press/hold the current dock icons.

awesome, downloading the launcher pro update now :cool:

Edit, updated and now set my custom dock, awesome.

I think you may actually need to reboot the phone for it to pick it up. Thats what I needed when I added my notifications/tones folders.

Yep down for me also on a Stock Desire

griffo_001 · 27 May 2010 at 14:17

Down on the Nexus as well. I blame Facebook

Can I live in hope that this means there's a MAJOR app update coming? I sure needs one

Robbo · 27 May 2010 at 14:46

I was hoping the new LauncherPro would add the 3D App Draw and the Glass Effect around the shortcuts at the bottom

I have added the guy to Twitter (decided to use it even though most people on there are spanners

) and I will hound him to add those two things in

hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows on average how much data you use per month on your current apps. the vodafone upgrade i'm looking at only seems to include 500mb data

Don't go with Vodafone, you're entering into a world of trouble.
