Hi everybody !
Does anybody knows whether it is possible to use an MP3 files as a reminders sound files instead of those boring sounds ?
Or i need to store a big WAV file in /My Music folder ?
I hardly beleive that there is no registry hack for this.
Thank for the answer,
Baudy.
Not out-of-the-box, no.
The reason a registry hack won't work is that the built-in engine that plays the mp3s doesn't support anything but WAV.
The only reason the phone app supports additional file types is because its specifically written to make use of libraries written for that (I believe its using the newer Media Player libraries, but I could be wrong).

Why don't you convert them to wav? If you choose the right settings you'll have a really descent file playable in your device.

if you're talking about simple reminders (and not ringtones) they cannot be that large in size. How much are they? 100KB? 200KB? 500KB each?
That's why I mentioned the right settings. They're not MP3 of course... but you'll be able to enjoy them if during the conversion you select the right settings...
Anyway...

Hi everyone,
last week i got my new Tytn (italian version).
I'm not new in WM5 devices, my last device was a K-jam.
Now i can't remember some things that was very usefull with my K-jam, like:
1. where i can get the cab file that enables the BT icon in today(in the bottom)?
2. How i can use Mp3 as ringtone?
3. Where i can find the registry mods to enable the vibraton phone pad?
4. and also where i can get a freeware registry util?
Thanks everyone

google "phm regedit" or install the free taskmgr located on buzzdev.net. It has a very good registry editor plus a whole lot more functionality
3. Where i can find the registry mods to enable the vibraton phone pad?

This might work...

i've downloaded the related .cab file, soft reset but nothing changed.
it doesn't work.
I also remeber that there is a third part software that also enable the vibratign pad, can someone remeber the name?
thnaks
There's an application mentioned in the post I linked to above.
Check the first reply.
EDIT: Here it is... http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/d9.shtml
Yes, thanks for the link.
but i don't like the graphic of the pad. i'd like a plug-in for the existing pad or maybe something graphically better that the existing one.
thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Very easy to do - slightly undocumented feature
Navigate into the \Application Data\Sounds\ folder on your phone and drop the MP3 there - it will then show up in your ringtone list
I tend to edit the mp3's down to about 30 seconds of the song I want and save them as mono and at a low bitrate so they don't take up a lot of space on the phone but you don't have to do this - just realize that if you put a bunch of MP3's on there, you'll fill up your internal storage pretty quickly if you don't, but if you just want one there it shouldn't be a big deal.
yes i know this feature.... but how i can do it to use an MP3 as SMS allert?
thanks

you can use literally any mp3 (and other formats) of your choice as a ring tone (btw, nice choice on the Hives.) you must put your audio file one folder away from root, meaning the path has to be something like
/Storage Card/*.mp3
/Program Files/*.mp3
/My Documents/*.mp3
etc etc

Your gonna have to be a tad more specific!
At a guess you want to progromatically play a click sound ???
Code:
//NOTE: This is untested & converted from a working VB.NET3.5 app -
System.Media.SoundPlayer myPlayer = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
myPlayer.SoundLocation = @"click.wav";
myPlayer.Play();
Alternatively, I have used this code in the past...

and when i click on a pad I want it to play the sound..... (ie. hit the snare and snare.wmv) plays....

Erm, not one to discourage people but man, if your stumped at that then - you have a way to go!
Ensure a file called click.wav actually exists where the executable goes. If you want to be absolutely certain (though its not really a good idea), try using full path to a wav file you know for sure exists.
e.g. Say your app "\Program files\Drums\drums.exe" then make sure you have a "\Program files\Drums\click.wav".
Hi .. bro
How to disable hd2 bootup sound in new rom 1.66
thank you...
Please change the terrible title of this thread to something appropriate. When you edit, you need to "go advanced".
Attached is a cab that removes the hideous HTC bootup sound
Thanks to Shawn_230 for the original version that I simply modified with a streamlined wave file.
thanks a lot for this helpful file
can we make it with CeRegEditor ?
Yes, but it leaves the wav file on the device, which takes up space. Just use the cab, or delete the file.
oki john !
thx

Interesting.
You could always set the registry value to that of a file that you do want to play at startup. That should do the trick.
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\StartupWav
Let us know how you get on

Just a word of advice... You'll need quotes around the filename, if it has any spaces in it, or it won't work.
\Storage card\StartupSound.wav will read as \Storage and stop at the space.
You'd need "\Storage card\StartupSound.wav"

no luck so far but i missed out the first \ so maybe thats the reason lol
edit nah still not working...maybe it has to be under a certain timelimit (the transform sound is 6 seconds...)

It probably does. And I'd imagine it probably has to be the correct format of wav file (sample rate, bit depth, channels).
Can you post the original one here for me? I've deleted it with my cab, so I can't have a look at it. Actually, can you do that and the transformers sound you want to use?
ok i've managed to change the .gif on startup
cant seem to get the original sound off my device
edit http://www.moviesoundclips.net/sound.php?id=111
thats the transformers sound clip (its 7th from the bottom.)

Ah don't worry about it. It was just a thought. It would be nice to be able to implement some kind of software changer for this new "feature" they've added. I don't think it's that wise though since the thing stutters anyway!
Sorry mate. I've had a play about and can get wav files to play at startup, but they all sound really bad. The stutter in playback makes all of them useless, and you need to leave a gap at the beginning or it misses the first part of the sound, and it just stops abruptly so you've only got a set amount of time for anything to play.
The whole bootup sound thing just isn't working right. It's not worth persuing until HTC sort it (if they bother).
I've attached the transformers sound you linked, so you can try it yourself, but I doubt you'll like the result.
Thank you..
Transformer sound bite, they missed the best one:
"Hey! That Hurt!"
"It's supposed to hurt! It's an ass kicking!"
is there a way to edit a .mp3 file in WM? i haven't used WM in a while and i know that i have edited a.mp3 album name b4 i just forgot how to.

I think maybe you two are talking about different things here:
zellbz, you want to edit the ID3 tags on the mp3's, so the correct info shows for album, artist, etc, right? If so, then THIS is the only one I've found. It's a playlist maker, but it also has the ability to edit ID3 v1.1 tags, can't do v2 yet.
jayvo, it sounds like you want to trim MP3's so you can use them that way, yes? If so you can try the attached cab...I know it works on the TP2 and many other recent HTC winmo phones, you're welcome to give it a try on your HD2
yes i want to change the id3, if you where trying to post a link it didn'twork so can you do it again or tell me the name of the .cab.
