Ringtone randomisation! Each profile comes with a list of ringtones, not just one, and I assign a probability to each one to set how often it's played (or I can press the 'equalise' button to make them properly random. Of course, if I have a ringtone associated with a contact, that would override the randomisation. But then, maybe that contact has it's own 'ringtone playlist' associated with it, not just one tone. When I say 'Ringtone', I also mean 'message tone', 'calendar event tone', 'alarm clock tone', 'friend is nearby tone', 'dog is chewing freerunner tone', etc... :) -Dale _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
