the calender alarm tone is located in /usr/SYSqtapp/phone/Calendar_Event.mid
you need to modify the rootfs in order to change sound.

Thanks a lot, now the Calendar is not anymore so painfull!

I am trying to get rid of "the noise". I am not that familiar with Linux, but here is what I am trying:

cp -a /usr/SYSqtapp/phone /tmp
mount --bind /tmp/phone /usr/SYSqtapp/phone
rm /tmp/phone/Calendar_Event.mid
cp /tmp/phone/Alert_1.mid /tmp/phone/Calendar_Event.mid

I want to make the phone use the Alert_1 (for example) rather than the ding dong. But it doesn't work!!

Am I off on the wrong track?

so is there any easy way to actually overwrite that file?

[NetNut404]

OK, I am lost.. I copied down the root filesystem.. replaced the Calendar_even.mid file with a sym link to /mmc/mmca1/MyAudio/Calendar_event.mid so that I could replace the sound as much as I want.. then I remade the cramfs.. used a hex editor to pad the end of the file so it was the same bytes, and still I get that annoying acousitca sound.. what do I need to do!?!?!?! Is it different on the european /german / (gps included) phones?

PLease help a guy out I wasted alot of time on this...

Thanks..

are you sure that works on all the a780's I replaced that file with a sym link to /mmc/mmca1/MyAudio/Calendar_Event.mid, (so I could change it any time), and it didn't make any difference after I flashed back the modified rootfs.. Some other pointer you can give?

Thanks for the help.. I am a little frustrated by that Acoustica sound...

I have a German A780 and my standard event alarm sound is
/usr/language/ringtone/Notification_4.mid
which doesn't exists and Acoustica.mid (first file in this directory) is played instead.

I find this sound quite anoying.
And I have written a small script to replace the apropriate setting in configuration files.

Requirements: LinLoader installed and working

Usage:
- unzip the two files
- you can rename set_RemindersSound_A780.sh (i.e. with .lin suffix ) but NOT EventAlarmFilePath.txt
- Put them on your A780 (or transflash), both in same directory
- then edit the txt-file with the phone built in editor (just tap on the file)
- this is the file where the script reads the full path to your prefered soundfile from and it can be everywhere on the phone.
It should only contain one single line.
Please make sure that the path starts with
/diska/ for a soundfile on the phone, and with
/mmc/mmca1/ for a soundfile on transflash

for example
/diska/MyAudio/Coo-coo.mp3

If you made a typo, the new sound file for event alarm will be set to
/usr/language/ringtone/Sky_Blue.mid
which is at least less bad than Acoustica.

Then execute set_RemindersSound_A780.sh (or whatever you named it) with
LinLoader
There wont be any visible change, but hopefully some audible at next calender event ...

It works well on my A780.

And dont edit (save) the script (sh-) file with the phones editor.
This makes it un-executable ...
