Ringtones for certain emails

[curve13]

Does anyone know how I can have a ringtone for emails from ONE contact only and the rest silent? I think I can set ALL emails to beep, but I don't want this. Thanks. (I have a Curve 8520.)

Set up a Contact Alert for that person/email address. Set the volume in the Contact Alert to something other than Active Profile.

Set everything else in the Active Profile to Silent.

I don't know how to set up a "Contact Alert".

[Motorcycle Mama]

Go to the Profiles icon (it looks like a speaker). Click on it. Scroll to "Set Contact Alerts".

Alternately, go to the Contact, press the menu button, select "Edit", scroll to "Custom Ring Tones/Alerts", click on "Messages".

Doesn't work on mine. I have OS 4. When I try to upgrade it it says there are no updates!

Update your device OS to 5.0.

What is the vendor.xml file and where can it be found?

File that must be deleted on your PC.

Wow.

Ok. From the VERY FIRST POST IN that thread ...........

'Step Zero' : Synchronize your BlackBerry with your PC to update all of your contacts and calendars in Outlook. This provides another "safety blanket" in case the backup/restore procedure skips over something...

1. Backup your device with Desktop Manager (Download from HERE)
2. Backup your third party applications (http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/how-...cations-53201/)
3. Download the desired device OS (from whatever your source may be and make sure the OS is for your specific device!)
4. Uninstall all prior OSes from your PC (Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Uninstall Prior OS versions!)
When downgrading you need to make sure all OSes newer than the one you are rolling back to are removed
5. Install the OS to your PC (run the .exe file)
6. Delete the vendor.xml file (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader)
7. Wipe your handheld HowTo Wipe with JL_cmdr or use CrackMem (See footnote warning)
8. Optimize the OS to your liking (Memory Optimization Procedure or CrackMem)
9. Load the OS with AppLoader (using DesktopManager) (Usually takes anywhere between 30min - 1hr)
10. Restore Third Party Apps (http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/how-...cations-53201/)
11. Restore from Backup in Step 1
