Just found something and thought I can share fellow Omnia-eans out there. After some trial and error, I finally got it working!

You can change the location where Omnia will look for ringtones by editing the following registry entry.

1) Navigate to HKey_Current_User > ControlPanel > Sounds > RingTone0
2) Change "SavedSound" value to your desired directory.
3) Exit registry editor and soft-reset. You are done

For step 2, I'd think that the natural choice for most of us will be the 16G "My Storage". I m no different. However it seems that you can only put it in the root directory. That means if you put your ringtones in a sub-folder under My Storage, even though you specified in the registry, it somehow will not work. In the end, I have no choice to move my ringtones (mp3 and wma) to My Storage.

Now you can spare some MUCH needed memory
Enjoy my fellow Omnia-eans!

thx for the tips~~ i was trying to change it to MyStorge/RINTONES/

now it works in root

Thanks pal for the tips! I was really looking for a solution to this!!

hmmm... actually, i believe ringtones placed in \My Storage\My Ringtones can be detected without a need for any registry tweak...

i am able to assign individual contact ringtones in this way in my Omnia...

check it out

Hooray Bro! Thats was a good one!

Brothers out there, just create the folder and your files will show in the Notification Settings!! No hassle!

it is working. well done.

but what about the tones (mp3 or wav) for sms notification? can we move to my storage too?

I have not tried on it, but i suppose it should comes from the same folder too.

i tried but not working if you put it in the same folder but tried to put in the storage not in any of the folder (is it called root directory) and guess what? it is working and detected in the setting for notification

how do i get to HKey_Current_User

You must first download a registry editor, PHM registry edit is a good choice :

Follow the link HERE and just select Pocket PC 2003,2003 (ARM/PXA) and install via Activesync using the CAB file that you have downloaded, transfer the whole CAB file that you have downloaded to your device and launch to install to your main memory, soft reset.

You need a registry editor. Search for it in the main omnia thread.

I created a My Documents folder in My Storage, put in all my ringtones and it is able to detect automatically without changing anything in Registry. Even SMS tones.
