Ringtone Tools

Handspring Treo

Phones: unknown

Handspring Treo 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. Note: This was working with some older Treo, I'm not sure about the newer ones, so if you have trouble let me know and maybe I can adjust the code if needed.

Example:

ringtonetools -name custom_ring soundfile.midi soundfile.pdb

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 midi 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 yngwie_trilogy.rtttl yngwie.midi
ringtonetools -name yngwie_trilogy yngwie.midi yngwie.pdb

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

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