New version – please READ FIRST – delete fixed too!

- Jun 23
NOTE: Delete has been FIXED! If you click the link again it will overwrite your existing program and then you can delete it! Sorry for the wait! I’m an idiot and had a typo….. AARGH! Make sure you reset your tones back to default before you delete or you’re stuck with them (unless you reinstall the app). Don’t worry – it’ll delete again. We did it over, and over, and over, and over………
OK – now on to more app building!
SPECIAL NOTE! So I stop getting tons of emails.
When you click the link in your email, it will HIGHLIGHT for about a second or two. THEN —- NOTHING! But the app will be installed. There is NO “Do you want to proceed” or anything. It’s quiet and sneaky – ninja like as pointed out before. That’s too funny.
We have changed the app to allow you te reset your tones to the default ones. There is a toggle switch at the top. For now, you will have no reason to delete because you can switch back and forth. If you don’t want custom tones, switch the toggle to on and you’ll default to the stock Pre tones.
Baby's first update 
New App
Sorry for the bugs – we missed those. No excuses.
To download, use the link below to send the app to your Pre.
Click on the link in your email (on your phone).
If you have the app, it will be updated.
If you don’t, you will have it.
REMEMBER! Notifications and Alerts are NOT ringtones – use short WAV files!
Click the Send to My Pre link aboce and an email will be sent to you OR
copy/paste the link below into an email and email it to yourself.

Sorry – took my kids out to a carnival and my Pre had hundreds of emails coming in.

About Me
We're here to pimp out your Palm Pre with new applications and up to date news and announcements! Read more
hey..I tried it n triend..to get the link And I never get the e-mail..in my inbox../I’m sad
Same here. I never get the email.
There isn’t any way to silence the alerts or notifications. They have to run their course. Good thing you added the switch back to default option.
Same. How do I get the link to the application?
Nevermind. Found it in the email.
“REMEMBER! Notifications and Alerts are NOT ringtones – use short WAV files!” How did I miss that?
EXCELLENT WORK AROUND!!! fyi…mp3s work also.
Alerts:txt
Notifications: attaching charger.
thanks again…it took minute to hit my email.
Great APP, thank you guys.
Can you make it where the connection sound is different from the notification sounds. It sounds weird when you hook up your phone to power and it sounds the notification sound that you want for your messages etc.
Just downloaded the app and it works like a champ. Thanks for your hard work fellas. Can’t wait for more apps.
What triggers an alert vs. what triggers a notification?
Is there no way to set individual sounds for email, sms, voicemail?
Phenomenal… Great work! Thanks.
having trouble clicking on link, just opens up a bunch of new cards, but none of them fully load. Don’t know what the issue could be.
You have to click the link in your email inbox. Clicking from a text message or web browser will cause the multiple card thing to happen.

WOW .ITS F!@^&* WORKING..”THANKS GUYS”
I keep sending this to my phone and it sends fine but when I open it it just says retrieving email text then it times out. I’ve tried 5 times now. Any ideas?
Nope – that’s a new one.
Anyone else get this?
Just tried again,what it says exactly is download of the message body timed out. The system will retry soon.
Are you retrieving other email ok?
Yes no problems at all. I’ve even tried resetting my phone.
Just tried again no luck. Its driving me insane,lol. I’m dying to try you guys great work. All it shows when I open the email is a round “loading” circle, then that message about it timed out shows up.
Can someone try the link right now and see if it goes through ok,maybe something happen and its not working right right now
aaron130 – glad me emailing you the link directly worked. Must be a problem with Comcast and the email script. If anyone else from Comcast has proplems, just email support@pimpmypre.com and we’ll email you the link tomorrow. I’m off to bed for the night.
Mitch
Please help.
Alert = ?
Notification = ?
Thanks!
I clicked on the link and a bunch of cards kept coming up.
How does this install and how do you find it once it installs
MUST be via email – no text links.
helppp meee how or where can i get ring tones for my pre
Again, no way to set different tones for email, txt, etc? Still leaves the problem that I’m not sure, when I hear the tone, whether it’s worth taking it out of my pocket or not.
I agree with dochouse. Shouldn’t SMS text and e-mail have different sounds. Can that be done or is that a limitation of the pre? I see notification is for e-mail/SMS. What does alert sound play for? Otherwise great start! At least I don’t have to return my pre to the store now because there is light at the end of the tunnel!! Thank You.
I am able to delete the APP without a problem, and installed it right back, works awesome for first app without SDK to lead the way.
Thank guys great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huh? Anyone else able to delete the app?
Big round circle…why does that remind me of windows ie 8? Email isn’t coming through for me yet either…
I just emailed you the link
Ty…I got it now… it’s a ninja install! lol!
So I got the link, but my pre won’t open from the email!
Ahh…my notification is now the beam in sound from Ster Trek Next Gen. So, I plug in to charge, or texts coming in gets that. Now, what was the alert for? I’m sleepy & not figuring it out…
Cool sound!
Only time my alert went off was for a calendar notification.
So, notification = plug in, text, or call ended…weird. Oh, that’s what I couldn’t remember, calendar alerts…hmmm…ideas I might have…sorry for that Yoda syntax.
Here’s a good one…food replicator from Star Trek. That might be better for notification sounds.
LOL
Probably just make me hungry in the future
da dum
LOL
Great App!! Thanks for all the hard work!!
where do you get the sounds from
I found them on a site that had a lot of ST sounds…so long ago though. You will have to google. Although you might find some in ths site: http://www.trekconnection.com/sounds/wave/
Try google..that’s got some that are better.
I TRIED TO DOWNLOAD THIS PIMP MY PRE but it keeps opening page after page like 20 blank pages then asks if i wanna stoe unopened pages to my unused memory
dwight – do not download it.
Click the link and send yourself the email, then click on the link in the email.
ive sent it to my e-mail on the pc.when i try to go to that same place with my phone it wont get it,how can i send it straight to my pre?
register with the email you use on your pre, or email me from your email on your pre and I’ll send you the link.
It would be better to register with us using the email you use on your Pre so you can get future apps and updates.
I am not able to click on the link in my email..the first time or this time around
ive tried to use the same identical e-mail address as i was used to on my pre,do i need a new address for the pre?
it is sending it to my yahoo mail address but not to my phone?
I set a tone and now it just rings that tone, no matter what I do. I cannot get it to stop…
Thank you guys..!!! GOOOOOD JOB..!!!!!!!!!!!
Just like the default notification tone – it goes off for everything. We’re not hacking Palm’s apps, just giving you the ability to change the sound.
So are you guys gonna post short wav files that we can downloae for our alert n notification tones
I don’t care what they say this is a GREAT start! I know the more you work with the OS you will get even better. I look forward to seen what you come up with next. Keep it up.
Admin, can someone send me the link like you did last night? I’m having the exact problem I send it and it just times out. I don’t understand why its doing that.
Wow i tried it and thats so cool I like it. Thanx Pimp my pre!
This is a nice app -Glad someone figured out how to do it.
Is it possible to have one sound for an SMS, another for Email,and another for when you plug in the device or put it on the touchstone charger?
Thank you for spending the time to do this.
I click on the link in the email and nothing happens….hmmmm
I just saved it to my pc and then dragged it over into my phone, all good.
Yeah, I’m not getting the email and I’m about to scream!
admin, I also need the link. I registered and it keeps telling to register.
Ok, I found the email in my junk box, so when i went to click on it it times out. Please help.
Same as JacobM513..
time out ftl :/
I realize i’m stating the obvious but you can use short mp3 sounds vs short wav files!
Figured I’d come back and share the workaround I just found for anyone else who is getting the timeout error on their Pre where they can’t open the email sent directly from Pimp My Pre..
The link/email is fine.. it’s just something with opening it on the Pre. All I had to do was go into my email from a computer, copy/paste the link into a new email, and send it to myself again (although I did send to a different email account.. but I doubt that matters). Then I opened the new email on my Pre, the link came up, and I was able to click and install.
…just my $0.02
I’m still not completely clear on Alerts vs Notifications. I’ve figured out that it’s the notification tone that sounds when I get a text or when I plug the pnoe into the charger. I don’t think I get any kind of audio notification at all when emails come in. Is that because it’s just getting the emails that go to my personal email account, and not to some special Sprint or Pre account?
Overall, I like the program, and I know there will be enhancements to come. I use a .wav from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, “FFFFT! Message for you, sir!”
Okay….call me stupid…but where in the hell is the link? I dont see a link. I just see something on my pc that says “send to my pre” Is that the link I need to email to myself???? Because I am getting the timed out message on my pre as well.
For those asking, there are oodles of .wav sounds available for download all over the place. I downloaded a .wav from the University of Tennessee’s official website of their band playing “Rocky Top” which I’ve been using as my primary ringtone for years, on several different phones.
It’s also really easy to make your own. Audacity is a free software download. It’s a sound editing program that’s quite easy to use. You can open your favorite mp3 with it, cut it down to just the part you want to use, then export it as a .wav file directly to your pre’s ringtone folder. I’ve used it to make plenty of sound files for my family’s phones. I made one a couple of years ago, specially for the Halloween season, by downloading about a dozen .wav files of screams, and pasting them together with Audacity. Every year I make it my ringer for that season. It’s about 20-25 seconds of blood-curtling screams. I get a lot of comments on that one….some good….some not. I don’t care. I like it. One of my co-workers made one from a file of a cricket chirping, so he doesn’t have to worry when he’s hunting. If his phone rings, the critters he’s hunting don’t get spooked. It’s just a cricket.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!! i GOT IT!
Love the app. Only problem is the tone plays when your on a phone call which is very irratating. Any way to fix that?
[...] So if/when I want to revert back to them they would be there. I’m wondering this as well. The other ringtone app has the option to revert to defaults. Personally I like yours more. But want to be able to default [...]
There’s a bug in the sound selector. Many of my slots are blank. The sound plays if I tap there, but the name is blank. If I select that sound then it shows blank on the main PMS screen.
Can’t take a screen shot in the “sound selection list” because as soon as I hold down the Orange key and SYM key the screen goes blank.
How many files are in the folder? What type of sound files? I know that the ringtone folder has problems with more than 50 sounds. Are the names extremely long? If you use your Palm Pre sounds app and look at them, do they display?
When I open my email on my phone and click on the link nothing happens, I tried sending it to a different email address but nothing happens either HELP PLEASE
Downloaded yesterday and works great. Looking forward to upgrades to seperate Text from Email, etc. Hope your going to do that for us on call folks that need loud text sound but not on email too.
Anyway, great Job……….TAKE NOTE PALM !!
I was finally able to install on phone. When I turn the switch “on” for defaukt sounds it doesn’t stay, always goes back to “off” any ideas why?
Because it sets them and then it completes. I probably should have changed the wording. It goes back to off an waits for you to reset them, does what it needs to do, and goes back to a waiting status (off).
But the new notification is not saving, still has the same sound
nevermind it worked but now the notifications still goes on even after I open and check the new message. How short does the .wav file have to be? I used the “discrete” one from the pre-loaded sounds
I sent it to my email, I figured out that the link wasnt showing up bc I had to allow links from sender on my pc.
Now I see the link, I click on it… but nothing happens.
what do I do?
I am having the same problem I cant get the link to open from my email I am so upset
I found out it did download all you have to do is click the link and then check in your menu and it should be there
i’ve tried to do it from my email and only blank pages come up
Any idea when you guys may have an update to be able to set different ringers for “unknown caller” “email” “sms” notification and what not??? Love the app you have btw and hope to see the alerts for different apps mentioned above.
Thanks ALL!!!
downloaded the app – installed instantly…thanks!
I am also gettin the timeout message when I send it to my email address…
Cant get App to install from email. Highlights ok, but app never shows up.
Any help?
can someone please help me.. I send the link to my email and once i try to open it on my pre it wont do it… and when i type it on the URL it makes my pre pop blank windows non-stop..
please help?
I sent the link to my email, and i opened the message from my phone then tapped the link and I’m not getting anything. Any idea’s anyone?
Palm pushed out an update to everyone’s phones that plugs the hole we were using for installation. You can only install if your phone hasn’t been updated to WebOS 1.0.4
when i click on the link in my email nothing happends and its not installed. am i sopposed to restart my pre after i click on the link?
I have sent the link to my email and clicked on it several times it highlights gray and then does nothing, then I am going to my sound notifications and seeing that nothing has changed is the app installed? where do i find it?
If your Pre has been upgraded to version 1.0.4 then you cannot install it. We’re working on a way around this without some long complicated procedure and also working on other apps. The idea is that we’ll have a lot of things to throw at you at once instead of one small app. Keep checking back, or register and we’ll email you when we have something for you.
helloi tried copy and pasting the link for the pimp my pre but nothing. then i read that if the phone has been updated it would not work please email when you have a new version
i cant get it to work. please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I click the link and it wont work
