ChevronWP7 custom ringtone manager screen

We now have the first WP7 homebrew application taking advantage of unlocked phones - a Windows Phone 7 custom ringtone manager.

The applications has two components

• Desktop application - used to build a custom XAP package with 5 custom ringtones you select from your computer (Requires .NET 4.0 Framework)
• XAP application - to be deployed to your WP7 to install custom ringtones to the system

Notes

• Ringtones have to be in the WMA format at 48KHz as required by the OS. We recommend using Expression Encoder 4 (free) to transcode any MP3s.
• Currently, to deploy the XAP you will have to use the Microsoft “Application Deployment” tool with the Windows Phone 7 Developer SDK. In the future, we hope to make available a standalone deployment solution for homebrew apps.
• U need to unlock your phone to Deployment Phone first by using MFG tools, before u can deploy the ringtone using Windows Phone 7 Developer Software.
