Rings Extended

Install

Replaces the standard ringtone picker with a new one that makes it easy to select from installed music tracks & other sounds. Just go to Settings or an application’s settings for a ringtone & you will be prompted to use Rings Extended.

AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:

Rings Extended is a superior replacement to the default Ringtone selection system. Rings Extended can be launched from any Android App where you can add/change a sound or ringtone. By default, when you install it, the Android OS will prompt you which sound selection app to use, since Rings Extended allows you to pick system sounds, ringtones and more, it’s OK to set this app as the default (so you wont be asked again).

: Rings Extended Choice from Other Apps

: Rings Extended Menu

: Rings Extended Default System Ringtones

: Rings Extended Launching Sound Recorder

Rings Extended is very useful and its greatest benefit allows you to select MP3 ringtones (even those created in RingDroid).

Gripe Alert: An app like this should have been standard in the Android operating system and not an additional app… But that’s the beauty of Open Source Development!

Should you Download Rings Extended? Yes… Almost Mandatory, Replace the Default!

Doesn’t seem to be available for the Tattoo – is this a “Marketplace” issue or is the app not compatible.

cheers

  Have you tried on computer scanning the QR Code on your monitor with Bar Code Scanner for direct link in the Market. Or try browsing this page from your phone and tapp the QR Code for direct link in the Market.

Looks like doesn’t work on HTC Hero after install.
“By default, when you install it, the Android OS will prompt you which sound selection app to use” doesn’t appear. Any suggestion?

I downloaded on my Droid and it worked for a while, then it stopped working when I go to set up a ringtone or notification tone only the default Droid app comes up.

      Curious. When it was working, was this before the Motorola DROID got the update to 2.1 or after?

        Just to let you know, I had to do a hard reboot, and all is well now.

Will this application be applicable for SMS and MMS contact specific?

  Yes. When you want to use a ringtone, you will be presented with option for default Android or Rings Extended if installed.

No me sale ningún menú de selección, me manda a “configuración de sonido y de pantalla” y tampoco puedo poner Rings Extended como aplicacion predeterminada.

¿Alguien podría ayudarme por favor?.

Un saludo .

Very nice app, would be even greater if there would be the option to change the vibration patterns.
