Suggestion 2

Whenever I try to change the picture of icon of smileys...it asks me every time-" Read user data" whenever I move from one folder to another, very annoying, it should ask just one time only when you are selecting whether to choose picture from memory card or phone memory..

Suggestion 3

Try to include many more smileys like angry, hug, kiss, bye bye atleast 20-30 sound would make the application great....n interesting.

Thank you for the comment.
Is the phone asking you permission to read the "user data" or is the message displayed while the phone is looking into the memory?

User data

The phone asks my permission to read user data everytime I tried to find a image file whether it is stored on memory card or the phone memory. I switched between different folders, everytime it asks my permission " Read User Data?"

Set as ringtone

My dad has fallen in love with the app and is especially loving the sounds of wolf and the heart. He suggested me to set the the heart sound as ringtone. I said I cann't. He suggested me to record the sound through recorder of other phones. I said instead of this whole mess, I can surely suggest this to betalabs team. Here is my suggestion:
Give us an option to set the sound as our message, mail or ringing tone from the app itself and not searching the file from file manager and then set this as ringing tone. Through this the originality of the sounds of audio smiley can be preserved and no one can transfer the sounds to another phone via bluetooth or infrared. It will be great fun to set the sounds like that of wolf as the ringing tone.

My sister was asking about having the app on her S40 while I was introducing the app to my dad. So why not try to play the sounds via bluetooth or infrared on others mobile phones and give us a chance to play the sounds and share them with our friends. Also introduce the app for S40 devices like you have done with Contacts On Ovi application

I wasn't able to hear sounds

I wasn't able to hear sounds while the phone was in silent mode. The app should be able to play audio smileys while the phone is in silent mode, If not then you could certainly allow to play sounds but on minimum volume.

@ vishesh, Thank you for

@ vishesh,
Thank you for your comments.

1- Phone asking you to "Read User Data", have you checked that you downloaded and saved both the .jad and .jar files into your mobile?
Once those files are saved on your mobile phone, you should start the installation by using the .jad file.

2. Set as Ringing tone option, this could be added as an option in a future release. Remember that you can record your own sounds using the "Recorder" application of your phone.

3- An S40 version is available at the same location as the S60 version. Your sister can use it on her mobile too. :-)

4- About Silent mode. The sound of all applications are switched off when you are in Silent mode.
Audio Smileys is considered as any other applications. Switching its sound "On" might be difficult as it certainly violates other rules of the SW.

Suggestions of an audio engineer

Some suggestions to make it even better (1-6 are my favourites, the rest would be nice to have):

1. As I have noticed it can play different sounds at the same time (depending on the processor of the mobile), it would be great to have different play modes for each key:
a) one shot (the sample ist played once from beginnig to end)
b) note (the sample plays as long as you press the button, like on a synthesizer)
c) toggle (first press starts the sample, second press stops it)

2. Aditionally it could have a "loop"-function, which starts the sample again when reaching the end in playmode b) and c)

(1+2 could be done with checkboxes at each button setting - one selectable out of five)

3. Save the settings of all buttons as different named and loadable preset-files would be very usefull.

4. when setting a sound for a button, there should be a extra button for playing/stoping the selected sound (actually it allways plays the whole soundfile, thats anoying if the soundfile has a long duration)

5. Instead of pictures (or alternative) I would prefer fextfields (i.e. to enter numbers or 5-6 characters for each button)

6. I would apreciate an adaption for my 5500 Sport-Display (208x208)

7. Groupable buttons so only one sound of a group can play. Explanation: A variable (one cachacter) could be set for each button. If a sound is triggered during a sound with the same variable is still playing, the first sound stopps. The button "0" could be used as a general stopper without a sound (but with setable variable)

8. adjustment of the volume of each button to let different sounds fit better together.

9. special effects for the buttons like:
a) reverse play of the soundfile
b) time stretch (for adapting tempo of music)
c) pitch shift (for adapting pitch of music or sounds)

Thanks again for this great tool!
