Ringtone Tools

Kyocera PDA phones

Phones: 6035, maybe others

Kyocera 6035 phones can be loaded with ringtones in .pdb format. You simply need to install this file on your PalmOS desktop and then sync it to your PDA phone.

Example:

ringtonetools -name custom_ring soundfile.wav soundfile.pdb

Your wave file should be in 8 bit/mono mode. Also your sampling frequency (according to the docs I've read) needs to be 11025Hz or 16000Hz. I've only tried 11025Hz so I can't tell you if other sampling frequencies work. You should name your pdb file with the -name option. What you name the pdb will be what you see when you look at it in Palm deskop. You will never see "soundfile.pdb" anywhere in your PDA after this file is sync'd in.

Ringtone tools will only convert wav files to pdb at this time. If you'd like to convert an rtttl to pdb you have to do it in 2 steps:

ringtonetools -b 8 -f 11025 yngwie_trilogy.rtttl yngwie.wav
ringtonetools -name yngwie_trilogy yngwie.wav yngwie.pdb

This could change in future releases if I get any requests for it.

Note: Ringtone tools knows the input file is an rtttl by the inputfile extension .rtttl and knows the output file is pdb by the outputfile extension .pdb. For more info read the ringtonetools usage.
