I hope someone can help, as I haven't been able to find the answer yet (I can imagine it may be somewhere here on xda-developers.com, just CAN'T seem to find it ;-)
How do you rename a file AND its extension.
I have quite a bit of software installed, but still nothing seems to solve this little problem. There are some cases where I think it may help (certain word files, media files are not recognized in WM2003?!) and it would be nice if you could manually set a file's extension.
Anyone posting a link or an answer would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe some software that does this?
Thanks.

Resco Explorer can
i could not navigate my pda without getting grey hair did i not use
total commander it renames just a charm and pretty much act like it's windows sister version which again act pretty much like good old
norton commander from the dos days
Thanks guys. I'll give them both a try, yet I recall that I found something about resco products (durring install?) that I didn't particularly like. Maybe just my imagination :?
But, I'll try them both out... as I found I really need to rename files 'on-the-fly' from time to time.
Regards :wink:
well i use total commander all the time renaming my sheep p0rn collection mpg's to .tsk all the time so people who mess around with my pda think they are damaged today screen themes to hide my terrorble secret
2 ways to do it single tap a file and it goes into rename mode where the extention is changed by changing the last 3 letters after the .
or hold down the pen givng a menu which include rename

so i see that there is a blue angel rom with "true" crossbow sound theme.. im wondering if neone has these files id like to use them on the wizard. dont care so much bout the icons but want the sounds!
Can't remember which thread this was posted in, but here it is again.
thats only the ringtone......im looking for the system sounds and such
The ringtone file is the only thing I've seen posted in the forums.
After the mess with Palm over posting the PhotoDialer .cab and with Apple over the iPhone mock-up screen, if there ever WAS a posted file with the other system sounds it's probably had to be removed now too. But, if it WAS ever posted, I never did see it -- and I scour these forums every day.
This is the soundpack I have - I have it and have no idea where/when I got it. It has the same name as the zip posted here and has the same file plus a whole lot more. I think it's standard with the AKU 3.2.

thank you thank you
Anyone have any ideas on using the new sounds. I can't replace the files in \Windows, and cannot alter there attributes. I'm assuming you must build a ROM to use them.
I have a sounds folder in "My Documents" on my PPC and there is already a sounds folder in Application Data. Put them there and the system will recognize them. No need to replace the other ones...
-Mc
None of those work. The system still uses the files in \windows.
Try using Total commander to overwrite the files.
i used windows exploere and overwrote off the pc
You cannot just change the sounds i'm afraid, that's not worked since back in WM2002, you have to change the registry entries related to the sounds...
I reccomend a nice little commercial app (no links) called "Soundz Cool". It's a Windows based application that runs on your PC, which connects to any WM powered PDA, and pulls the sound settings from the registry. you can then edit them, and copy them back to your PDA with your own custom sound effects. Soundz Cool will even remove unused files it's copied across before to kepp your PDA clean.
Hope this helps you all, coz it took me ages to find such an application...
Hello and good day everyone....
I was wondering and hoping there is an option to change the sound of the screen tap option on the Sprint Touch or any PPC for that matter.
Maybe like a bursting bubble noise or gun shot even? Does anyone have a way to change the OEM click sound, or better yet have a .Cab file (noob here) that would make it so I can change the "click"?
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to see what any of you come up with.
P.S. I would like to thank the members of this site for making me "love" my phone or any smartphone again for that matter. What has been developed thus far has made my use of the phone a BREEZE! Thank you!!!!
To the top....
I also want to know!
I was trying to find if there is a .wav or that makes the default tap sound, but there is no file like that in /windows. If anyone find a way to change, plz post how to do it. Thanks in advance.
hwandsw.wav in \windows\ - also possible to change others there.

But how can we replace that file with our own customized one ? It prompts "access denied, file may already be in use"
...Hmmm
I actually used Resco and was able to replace that file with one of my own....., however I'm still getting the default screen tap sound.
Use WA2 or 3

Yeah, even i used Resco Explorer to replace the file, it gives warning initially, but then does the job. About replacin' the "screen tap sound" you gotta replace one more file in Windows:\ the filename is 'MenuPop'
Replace this file as well, with your own customized one, it'll get goin'
Adieu..

Nope... will not work. That's not the right files...
The hwandsw.wav and menupop.wav are the click and clucks you hear when tapping.
You might even try unchecking the screen taps under settings - sounds and notifications to disable the sounds.

Have someone found a solution on how to change the screen tap sound on Touch?
I have changed the files mentioned above, but same sound when tapping screen.
I have a HTC Touch, slow device, i think a shorter sound with lower bitrate would make the tapping more responsive.
Turn off tap and button sounds on the device.
Soft reset the device.
Go and replace both files with the new ones.
Soft reset again.
Enable the tap and button sounds again. See if new ones are playing.
If not try soft reset once more and recheck.
unfortunately it doesn't work, have tried several times now, same sound
I confirm, if you try to play hwandsw.wav, you'll see that this one is not the screen tap. tried to play another files on windows dir, but havent found the tap sound.. could the file location and name be found on some key like screentap on registry?
Cook a new rom
hey just do these with the resco registry editor
get in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\control panel\sounds\
in that u will have registry for aqll the sounds and the path..........
just change the path to your wish......
but caution just changing hex values wrongly may damage your phone seriously!!
I looked at this some time ago, even if you replace the files in the Windows directory it doesn't change the sounds as it will use what is cooked into the ROM - to get around this you'd need to do as xd1936 suggested and cook a new ROM with the WAV files you want.
Alternatively:
I came across this thread on PPC Geeks some time ago and gave it a go: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49455
It involves some fiddling around with registry settings and from memory I did get it to change screen tap sounds but it changed other sounds too (I might have been in hasty in typing out the entries)
Hope that helps you.
(Full credit to signal34on PPC Geeks for this)
Doesn't the software "Toonality" change this? I mean you can change it though that program. Search for it.
Hi,
Got rather a big problem. I installed Resto Explorer and was using it quite happily until the trial period lapsed. I did purchase the program as I liked it but got the wrong license generated and still waiting to hear from their support on getting it fixed. In the mean time I was unable to edit or do anything of substance.
So in my wisdom I decided to remove it for now. Big mistake! I am now unable to explore my phone as I cannot find the default explorer. I think I may have removed that from the start menu. OCD cleanliness you understand!!
So I cannot explore at all and thus cannot install anything to replace it.
Anyone know how I might recover from this one?
Cheers.
try installing total commander
Ok panic over. I used pcsync to copy a shortcut of fexplore.exe to start menu. Phew!
What someone mind posting the registy location and values of the default file explorer please so I can fully recover as it was and this time keep it there!!
Thanks.

Not quite sure what you expect to be stored in the registry for the file explorer. I've had a brief look and can't see anything in there. Just using it will set up any data storage that it uses. AFAIK it only needs to remember the last location it was in - nothing more.
Well at the mo all I have in the start menu now is "Shortcut to fexplore.exe". I woudl like to clean that up as far as possible to be what it it supposed to be.

Open file explorer and go to windows\start menu\programs and find the shortcut. Just rename it in there.
Incidentally, if you select an application, anywhere on your phone and do "Copy", you can then go to the above mentioned programs folder and do "Paste Shortuct". Just in case you lose any more shortcuts
My standard file explorer takes MINUTES to load from a fresh soft reset. I deleted something on the startup folder with some *.lnk which probably had some stuff to do with it. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks and Merry X'Mas to everyone!
Tell me the name of the ink and tomorrow I will try to find it and post it here
Hey thanks!
It was poutlook (i don't use any email programs except webbased from Opera), and some clear WMPlog file or something (don't remember). Also PG.lnk i've removed. Merry X'mas and thanks for your help in advance!
did you try and install the fileexplorer addon that gives you the extra menus, it makes it slow and crappy in alot of WM6.5 roms, including the ones that come with the leo.
hi thanks for the response again but no i didn't install anything for file explorer (next to total commander as i just couldn't stand it anymore). It seems as if you are RESORTING the order of the file names (eg, date, type, etc). It's just under /windows directory.
Check to see if your files are sorted by name. Sorting by something else might be the culprit.
i had the same issue but it was the storage card, that was defect. I bought a new one and all worked fast again!
I've searched and searched and searched. But yet to find anything working well.
I'm trying to find a customizable soundboard app. There's so many sounds ide use (Dave Chappelles Rick James, Mr T, Anchorman... I could seriously go on forever)
If there's nothing out there you guys and gals could suggest for me, is there any devs out there that could point me in the right direction on how to write this app.
Cheers peeps
use this program http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wdaft-for-wqvga-vga-qvga-and-square-mobile.html as a base. in the explorer, you can switch the sounds and graphics to what you like. p.s. this program friggin rocks!
Dude, your gonna get busted posting warez here.
Dude, your cant post warez here. read the rules
how is it a ware? it says its beta and its listed as freeware on that site.
Sorry dude. Didn't actually read it. saw the site 'ppcwarez' and though it was
my bad
Nice lil app. but how would one change the sound s and such?
its all good. i installed to my sd. i go to my device/sd card/program files/godaft. in the two folders are the images and sounds. you can make your own images or go to iconspedia.com and grab some free icons and replace them with the originals. then you can grab the sound files you want to use and replace them with the ones in there. i dont know what format it is either .wav or .mp3, but you can grab an mp3 converter freeware app from somewhere to change it. the only thing you gotta do is make sure you rename the file you put in with the one you take out.
Sweet,
Ive managed to change the header and sounds to dave chappelle's rick james.
There's only one problem. The buttons still read 'harder, better, faster, stronger'
I cant find anything related to these in the skin folder.
Any ideas?
ok i just checked and there is no button associated with the words. my advice is to just reverse-engineer the app until you find the text written into it. try using a .cab decompiler/extractor or visual studio. if you dont know how to do this then maybe look around on here for people who deconstruct files. i would look and try to write you a new board but i dont have the time and resources right now. you might also wat to try to find another sound board like the fart app. not all of them have all images cooked into it.
Dude,... this is THE BEST app ever invented. Work has never been that easy,... I put "shut up", "go away", "bring me coffee" and "cu tomorrow" in the app and I never ever have to open my mouth again

Post your sound board once you finish

I didn't actually edit the program itself. I just created the 4 sound files (*.wav) I wanted and named them L1.wav, L2.wav, L3.wav and L4.wav
Then I replaced the original sound files in the Godaft/Sounds folder with my own ones and now the first 4 buttons play my sounds. The buttons are still called "work it", "make it", etc., but they play my sounds. So if I would add more sounds, it might become hard to remember, which sound is on which button,... but the 4 I have are all I need and easy to remember

Thanks buddy.
I used 7-zip to extract the cab file and got loads of files. Extensions are .001 all the way to .052 (I'm guessing these are the resouces) and an XML file (used to install)
I've looked through the XML in notepad and cant find anything there.
So its in the resource files somewhere. How do i open these files?
Ive checked out Visual Studio, but not sure which version I'm after as don't know which language this apps written in.
I'll grab the all-in-one package though

If you mean the Rick James soundboard I'll post it when its done. But I'm quite new to all this. Never written an app before. So might be a while lol

it sometimes sucks that you have to use multiple extractors to dig out one simple image. i still got an eye out for another soundboard for you that is much simpler to edit to your liking. there was also a guitar app i seen that was crazy simple to switch...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482726. there is only 6 sound options and you have to skin the buttons the same as guitar strings.
