Question

How do I extend the length of a ring tone?

Community Answer

Load the sound into a sound editor (Audacity, Sound Forge, etc), select the whole sound, Ctrl+C to copy, go to the end of the soundwave, and Ctrl+V as many times as you want it to repeat. Save it with a different name and copy it back to your device. Select the new sound in your device. Done!

Question

How do I make up words for a ring tone?

Community Answer

You can use Audacity (free for both Linux and Windows), and then record the words yourself, or let someone else do it. Export the file as an MP3 and copy it over to the Android. The Ringdroid app will find it, if it is for a specific contact.
