PLAY MIDI ON UR XDA WITH FULL INSTRUMENTS

Now you can play the Polyphonic Ringtones on your XDA-I,Qtek1010,Siemens SX56,MDA-1 and T-Mobile with full instruments just by installing this file into your device :twisted: :
- MIDI56.sa.CAB
How to:
1- Copy the MIDI56.sa.CAB into your xda to any place you want then open the Explorer from your XDA,goto the folder you pasted the file in then click on the file after that get a *.mid file paste it into the \WINDOWS\RINGS,
Open the Phone from Settings and select the midi file you want it to be as your ringtone.
2- For whom the ringtone still doesn't work at all you just neet to extract the file >>CameraRC132_WWE_1.5.sa.zip<< and copy the cab file to your device and install it. Get the file from :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6337&highlight=
Ps: My O/S is WM2003. I didn't test it on WM2002 if someone will just post here the result.
Enjoy my friends

We need to see the code can you pleas give use the code

I don't have the code that you're asking about bcz I didn't write it! I took this cab file from the Newest Himalaya's Extended-Rom :wink:

Your MIDI56.sa.cab has problems
Not that it matters that much to some folks...but in case you have an XDA-1 /MDA/PPC Phone Edition....I can confirm the following:
1. With WM2003, you will definitely need the Camera------.cab file installed, plus the MIDI56.sa. Mind you, you will have to install the MIDI56.sa file first, and then install the Camera------.cab
2. It will use up about 600+ K of needless memory on your XDA-1 because obviously, we don't have camera's. So.....what're you to do ? Well, go to
\WINDOWS
and look for Camera.EXE ( approx 500+ K )
Then, what you can do is launch Album, and look again at the \WINDOWS directory...and you will see a bunch of bitmaps obviously ( among other things ). Now..what you're looking for is files dated from 8/20/2003 ( that's 20/8/2003, for you folks EAST of the Atlantic ). Primarily they're bitmaps that were used by the Camera application. They add up to about 50-60 K. There's probably more files associated with the Camera.exe application that you won't need, plus any references in the PPC's registry will probably need to be ferreted out.
But...once you've done that, you've actually reclaimed approximately 800 K in space. Which on a 32MB unit, is a fair bit of memory.

Marcelo,
I updated the installation instructions,you needed more to read about it.
Mind you, it doesn't matter what you install first cos I had the camera and album files in ppc b4 the midi cab file so it's ok.
Actually it's taking more than you are claiming, since those files installed in the \WINDOWS you can move them to "\Storage card\Album\Album.exe" "\Storage card\Camera\Camera.exe" like I did and gain back the used space , there's also a help file related to the camera it's about 56 kb you could remove it from "\WINDOWS" plus the little bitmaps. Thus you can as well fix the path in the registry for the files associations + making new shortcuts for the Album.exe,Camera.exe and by replacing them on the old ones.

Excellent !!!
I have to remind people that you MUST be careful when deleting the little bitmaps...look at them inside of Album first before deleting anything.
I had to reinstall my GPRS Monitor application because I deleted one of it's bitmaps by mistake....word to the wise !!!
Also I found TONS for MIDI files ( amateur ones ) to use as ringtones....,now if there were a way to make the ringtone directory point to my storage card, that would be great !!

Marcelo,
Moving the ringtones to the Storage card that was my other issue since a long time. I managed a way to do that it. Well for the first try it was successful but when the ppc turns it self off and some one calls you you’d hear the "windows default" ring and it remains whether you selects another ringtone. I kept a backup up on my registry to restore it back to the last status.
So if you like to share me your assistance I'd be grateful.
I'll give you tips of doing that and the project from here it starts…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S: I recommend a backup on the registry b4 applying those tips
===============================================
1- (Looping Ringtones)
This tweak works perfectly you should apply it to your ppc's:
While playing a wav or midi or a wma as the ringtone the phone has a delay of 3 seconds before repeating, now this is really annoying if you've just created that great wav,wma ringtone, spent time making it loop properly in sound editor or whatever, and then the ppc does the silly delay, well, here’s the fix...
Open the registry editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Select 'Values'
And modify 'Script' by removing the w3 (eg. change 'av0pw3r' to 'av0pr')
"w3" stands for "Wait 3 seconds" you can make it "w1" or "w4" or remove to make the ringtone loops
===============================================
This tweak works for the first time you do it but when the ppc turn it self off the ringtone you selected won't play again :S be noticed.
2-Ringtones on SD/MMC Card
Open the registry editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Select 'Values'
Select 'Sound' and change the Value Data: \Storage Card\path to wav\wavname (eg. \Storage Card\Ringtones\mytone.wav)
We need here more try about this tweak and good ways to fix so ppl let’s do some tests
===============================================

This is the registry key where all ring tones s/w is playing whenever it comes to customizing a phone ring tone ... including PZP
and that's why all these s/w keeps a "live" component in the back ground to override what Windows is updating each time.
So, PZP was designed as today plugin, so Windows will force it to update the ring tones with each system referesh ... other s/w may keep a background process DLL running or to reconnect cprog.exe to their DLL ... or even to trap the system events to cprog.exe and redirect them to their handler.
So, I think (I might be wrong too ) the trick is to build a live demon to keep updating this registry key.

Necessary Files
I've been able to cut the necessary files for polyphonic ringtones down to ~570KB. Keep in mind I did this on a device with a ROM that was already cooked with supposed "support" for polyphonic ringtones, so there may be other files it is relying on. At any rate, the kitchens need to be updated with these files, because it doesn't work as-is.
There also may be ways to trim even more down, but this is what I have after many hard resets and adding/deleting files one by one. Hope it helps.

More Sounds. Any ideas?

I want more sounds on my device much like my PC.
I want a different sound for:
MSN contact online
MSN Paging Me
Calander reminders
Oulook eMail notification
XpressMail eMail notification
SMS Messages notification
And probably others later
Anyone have any ideas as to registry hacks to add sounds for items that use the default sounds and how to change them?
Raptor

you should store any sound media files in MyDocument folder and go directly to Setting-Personal-Sounds&Notifications to set them as you need.

Don't know if you have been to Sounds & Notifications lately, there is a very minimal selection of items to apply sounds too.

I use my SD card for all sounds.
First if you create a My Documents folder on the SD card and dump wav files in there, the Phone App will look in that directory on your SD card and you can choose ringtones without doing anything.
The only directory that I found that Sounds and Notifications picks up is Windows. You can dump WAV files in the Windows directory and it will pick them up under Sounds and Notifications.
For the sounds and notifications though it does not automatically pick up any directory except for Windows folder. (I think. I haven't found any other directories that it picks up. I tried putting WAVs everywhere and unlike for Ringtones the only directory that works is Windows)
Since I have a bunch of WAVs I just use my SD card and I would rather not clutter up my Windows directory or use up the space on my phone.
So what I have to is this.
First go to sounds and notifications and set your sounds and notifications. Just choose whatever sound is available. (Doesn't matter to what)
Then use a registry editor and go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
There are a bunch of subkeys and each pertain to an event. For each subkey look at the (Default) Value and that will tell you for which event that key is for. i.e. for new e-mail the value is "Messaging: New e-mail message"
Then just edit the "Wave" value and set it to your wav file. Do not use the extension though. If your wave file is example.wave then just put in example.
The path I use for my notifications is the following value:
\Storage Card\My Documents\example
Assuming that there is an example.wav in the above directory. Obviously just change the above path to wherever your wav file is. I have not tried using any other sounds other than wav files so I don't know if you can use mp3's or mid or other sound files.
This at least works for the default notifications. I don't know how to add new sound events for the examples you were giving.
NOTE
If you set these registry settings try not to go back to Sounds and Notifications or you will lose the settings. Then you have to set them again using the above steps. When you exit the Sounds and Notifications applet since it didn't recognize the paths you changed the wav files to, it will just put back the default like alarm1 or something so then you have to change them again.
Hope this helps

making custom ringers in sounds and notifications
wussup man.. maybe i can be of help.. i just got my vario a few days ago and ran into the same problem as you. i dont like the default sounds for the sounds and notifications too. what u need to do is if u wanna add sounds to any of those, u need to make sure that your sounds are in WAV format. then they will show up in the list.. hope this helps.. good luck kid

Am I speaking Greek? :-(
But Seriously, maybe I am not communication properly. I want to add sound events such as when a new contact somes online from MSN or any other IM product, I want a unique sound. This is not currently an option in sounds and notifications, I want to add my own if anyone has any ideas on how to do this.
Raptor

Found this on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...lui5/html/wce50conhidingsystemsoundevents.asp
I guess you would have to add the event directly into the registry. BTW, this is for CE5.0 not WM5.0 but should be something similar of which events might be available.
I found several notifications' keys in my registry that had no Default values (event name) nor Wave (name of sound file). For example when the battery is low it will play lowbatt.wav if it's available in Windows dir. But this low battery event does not show in Start>Settings>Personal tab>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications tab. To add it go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
Create a String value named "Default" and set the value to "Low battery warning". Then go to Start>Settings>Personal tab>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications tab, and there you'll be able to select "Low battery warning" and customize it.
Now if we could only find out what keys define the other extra events.

While we are at it, I found this. Apparently It is for changing the default tap click.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...tml/wce51conwaveformaudioregistrysettings.asp
And this:
Sounds (and soundevents) are all over the place.
So far as I know there are 4 places:
- 21 general sounds in HKLM\snd\ in a 21 line multiz string (possible to include paths) See previous post in thread.
- phone sound events in HKCU\Controlpanel\SoundCategories and Sounds
(don't have a phone so I cannot be for sure)
- System Notifications/warnings in HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications
- Screen Taps & Hardware buttons in WAPEAPI.DLL, WAVE\100 to 103
where HW buttons (Loud/Soft) = 100 and 101
Screen taps (Loud/Soft) = 102 and 103
(see attached image)
The latter have to be transplanted with Resource Hacker. Dunno if you can overwrite the WAVEAPI.DLL in de \Windows folder. But it is worth a try.
EDIT: the waveapi.dll.0409.mui is used on my system which is overwritable ;O)
UPDATE: Works splendid. Very nice sound effects (using all above together) Laughing
ps: don't forget to keep a modified copy on your Memory card. After a hard reset the default waveapi.dll.0409.mui will return from ROM.
(or make a proper backup everytime you change something like I do)
Tip: use sndrec32.exe to edit you wav file and do wav conversion
Tip: if you overwrite a \window system file you can always delete it again and do a soft reset to get the original back.

Hi All my sounds are wav, but they still don't wanna play. I put them in the windows folder, but they don't play. All are 22000Khz 16 bit stereo max 120kb files. So nothing big. But can't make them to play, even if there are selected.
What should I do?
Thanks

Cannot set my own melody for alarms under T-Mobile 2.26

Under my earlier ROMs worked everything well, but now when I try to set my own melody for alarms (those under Time controll panel) it does not work properly and the terrible T-Mobile's beeping is ringing instead. Can anybody help me?

Convert your files that you want as alarm tones, crop them so they aren't too big, and paste them in your windows directory

...missunderstanding: I have my melodies in Windows folder, they are visible and selectable under the controll panel, they are really selected as active (Nancy Sinatra Bang Bang at 7:20 a.m. and another melody for the launch time every working day), but ringing is another melody.

if the files are too big they won't work either, i've yet to figure out the specifics, but as long as it is small enough, and a wav, it should work. i'd try converting with different sample settings and what not, different bit rates and all that.

But the same sound files (exactly the same) worked for me under 2.24 Orange :shock:

Did you happen to install PocketMusic (or any other music/audio program for that matter)?
PocketMusic likes to take over the associations for certain files (say mp3s, etc.), which in turn doesn't allow the WM op. system from using them as ringtones, alarms, etc.
If that's the case, remove the file association from these programs to allow you to reassign the desired tones for your alarm.

No, this is not the case. I have installed Resco Audio Recorder, but this application havn't stolen the associations. And the custom melodies for my contacts work still perfectly, only for alarms and reminders is used T-Mobile's beeping instead of my melodies...

Problem seems to be solved. It was caused by Spb Pocket Plus. When I changed in the registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House\Pocket Plus\1\AlarmsEnabled (DWORD) from 1 to 0, my settings are now taken into the consideration by my Wizard. There is as weel the key (STRING) DefaultPlaySoundOptions and the value of this key was alarm2.wav and some strange figures. I really do not know where these settings borned, but I am happy to disable them...

Glad you figured it out, because I just about ran out of ideas since it works fine on mine. (Changing the codec for your .wav file to a more PCM friendly version was the next idea)...

Way to Listen Music via BT Earphone

I just figure out a way to listen to music via an BT earphone, no need to use BTAudioToggle or what so ever:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
--> Path = erase everthing
VoiceCmdDuration = 86400 (DEC) = 24 hours
Now, open your WMP, play the music and click the Answer Button on the BT and enjoy .
WARNING, this way will disable the voice dial via BT , so it's up to you to decide

c'mon guys, give some feedback, does this work for everybody?

I like voice dial AND my podcasts via BT on my 8525 and earpiece.

Hey guys, just wanted to give a post here. This setup works fine for me. I use both BlueMusic 2.0 and Cyberon Voice command with no problems. I used to do this with WM5, since I upgraded to WM6 I've had to make a couple of reg tweaks to get things to work properly but they work fine now. (I had to change the VoiceCmdDuration to 86400, and I also had to add in VCdialer.exe (or whatever its called) to the HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand settings ...)
To enable the sound I just hit the BlueMusic play button, and then hit the button on my headset. If I hit the button again, the sound comes out of the phone speaker, and if I turn BlueMusic off (stop button) I can use Cyberon Voice Dialer ... Perfect for me!

How do you access the registry on the 8525 to do this?

You get a registry editor... Such as total commandor (you can google it)

I followed your directions but you're not completely clear on the second part of your instructions.
Do we create a new registry entry? If so what type? There's a bunch different options. Since we're messing with the registry, I really don't want to mess it up.

this is how i got mine to work.

this works awesome

this works great on my Hermes /att 8525 running att rom 3.62.502.3

Here's my deal... If I make the registry edit, will the bluetooth continue to run, or toggle automatically? I'm thinking that if it's ALWAYS on, the battery would run down fairly quickly.
I'll not be using it for music (at least not most of the time), but for turn-by-turn directions with my GPS program.
I would love for the same ability as MS Voice Command (turn the device ON when it's ready to deliver information, then OFF again.)
Any help?

question
just want to say that this works fine and tranfers the music to the bt earpiece fine but after a few seconds it goes back to the phone. i think the problem is the VoiceCmdDuration entry. I assume this is a DWORD value?? do i put it in the same folder as the path entry that was deleted? would love for this to work properly so i dont hav eot buy a big headset to listen to music..
PLEASE POST BACK

I Tried on HTC Diamond Touch
I have a HTC Diamond Touch. Very happy with it.
-I downloaded the "Total Commander" cab file for "Pocket PC" to my PC.
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
(Select the CAB for arm/xscale/pxa)
-I installed Total Commander ( "TC" ) on the HTC Touch Diamond ;
Copied the cab file to HTC'sdirectory "My Documents" using the explorer in Active Sync,
then moving over to the HTC and started HTC's explorer,and finding the cab file,
and tapping on it...then its installed)
-Started "Total Commander" ("TC") on the HTC.
Yes, looks a bit like Norton Commander for Windows...
Then navigating in the TC address bar as follows;
-\\Plugins
then
\\registry
then the rest looks like folders, but is actually registry "levels" or "subkeys" (Scopes in xml ??) ;
->HKLM ( I guess this is short for HKEY Local Machine....????)
->Software
->OEM
Path = erase everthing
VoiceCmdDuration = 86400
(Path and VoiceCmdDuration was already there....just had to change the values)
Then I exited and Power Off->Power On
Then start Media Player
Tried to click on the buuton on the earpiece.
I have a "Plantronics Voyager 510S BlueTooth EarPiece".
But the music comes out on the HTC speaker....WAIT; Look at next post!

WAIT: HTC Touch Diamond WORKS!!!!
It works!!! I am now playing Audiobooks on mediaplayer, sound comes out
on Bluetooth EarPiece!!!!
I had turned off bluetooth......turned it on...all ok!!!!!:
Thank you! This means I dont need to buy an "A2D" earpiece....

All about Microsoft Voice Command (MSVC) on Topaz with WM6.5

I'll start this thread to share my knowledge aquired after many hours of testing regarding the registry settings of Microsoft Voice Command on Topaz with WM6.5 ROM from HTC although the settings may be applicable to other cooked ROM's and phone models.
First of all, I don't know why but different versions of MSVC are installed with different registry settings so I will only talk of the final result. These characters "" do not need to be completed.
Here comes the tricky part. To make MSVC work you need to alter the following registry settings:
HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand
Type: String
"Path" = "\Windows\VoiceCmd.exe"
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring
Type: Dword
(BE CAREFUL HERE, IF IT'S A STRING, YOU NEED TO FIRST DELETE THE STRING AND CREATE A DWORD WITH THE FOLLOWING VALUES)
"AttenuationCategory" = "2" (it's the setting I'm using)
(This value can be changed. It tells how much the ringtone is reduced for the voice to be heard)
The rest of the values here do not need to be altered.
Next is:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1
Type: Dword
(SAME HERE, IF IT'S A STRING, YOU NEED TO FIRST DELETE THE STRING AND CREATE A DWORD WITH THE FOLLOWING VALUES)
"AttenuationCategory" = "5" (it's the setting I'm using)
(This value can be changed. It tells how loud the voice in call announcements can be 1 TO 5 1=low 5=high)
The rest of the values here do not need to be altered.
Make sure that the following location's are set to:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Type:String
"Category" = "Ring"
and:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce
Type:String
"Category" = "VoiceCommand1"
Type: String
"Sound" = "\Application Data\Volatile\\TTSCallerID.wav
The rest of the values here do not need to be altered.
Do not forget to set your MSVC to announce incoming calls and to announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free if available.
If you want to assign the long call button from the phone to launch MSVC without a third party software then assign it from the personal folder in settings then edit the following registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C6
Type: String
"" = "\windows\voicecmd.exe\" (THE LAST SLASH IS CRITICAL, SO USE IT)
Leave the rest the way they are.
This are the settings for which dll should be used to initiate bluetooth communication: BTAGTEXT.DLL , VCBTHAG.DLL (it's installed by MSVC and this is the one you should use) and OEMAGW.DLL.
You should have something like this:
ex:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway
Type: String
"BTAGExtModule" = "\windows\vcbthag.dll"
If you want to use your wired headset to launch your MSVC then you need to long press the hang up button.
This setting were tested on the updated WM6.5 ROM from HTC website with MSVC version 1.6.21040 which works perfectly and 1.6.21725 which also works fine except for bluetooth voice command initialization from hands-free which does not work because I don't know why this version of MSVC closes the communication between phone and hands-free.
And last you should set you phone to not use single volume, if you do, the volume of the voice will be reduced with the ringtone, if you set them separately the voice will be spoken out loud even if you reduce the ringtone volume or system volume.
I hope this helps most of you out there who are desperatly trying to use MSVC and don't know how to set it to work the way it was supposed to.
P.S. For those who are trying to get the WWE eastern european 6.5 ROM (ex. Hungaria, Romania, etc), you can get it from HTC selecting in the country selection Ceska Republic. I don't know why but seems that other countries are not updated in the ROM section.

Hi,
I will add this to the MS Voice configger app i have set up.
Thanks for this!

You're welcome
It was my pleasure, I'm glad that someone will be able to use it and not to go through the same hardship as I did.

Dword v.s. String
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce
Type: Dword
"Category" = "VoiceCommand1"
In the HKCU key you mentoned above, My type in the phone showed a string, not Dword. And it seems I can't add new Dword "string" after deleting the string type.
Anything I missed?

Sorry, my mistake, I will edit it, it should be a string there.

Hi guys,
For the longest time after I upgraded my ROM, MSVC has stopped making incoming caller announcements. Everything else works, it just wouldn't make call announcement when a call comes in. Not on speaker, not on BT. I tried everything and it still didn't work.
I came across this thread and I tweaked the registry. As soon as I changed
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Category from "VoiceCommand1" to "Ring", then incoming call announcement worked for me!!
So i was pretty happy about it, except it only worked for a few days. The last couple days it's stopped working again.
Taking a closer look at the registry I realize what I have is identical to what's posted here, except for -
HKCY/Control Panel/Sounds/TTSAnnounce/Sound
Instead of "\Application data\Volatile\\TTSCallerID.wav" I have "\Internal Storage\Backup and Restore\Application data\Volatile\\TTSCallerID.wav"
I guess it's a case where my ROM moves all volatile files from main memory to internal storage (like a SD card ... I use TouchDiamond1 which uses internal storage instead of SD card).
When I look at that folder, a TTSCallerID.wav file IS indeed generated everytime I make a call to my phone! It is just for whatever reason it fails to play that file!!
Has anybody experienced this? Can anyone help?

Voice Command Problem
Do you use some tweaking programs which could move the temporary folders from the main memory to the storage card or a custom rom which could be tweaked that way? As long as I now, you cannot move the location in which voice command writes his voice file as it is generated within the program.

Strange enough, call announce works after I made the following changes:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category
Change from "VoiceCommand1" to "Ring"
That's different from what's reported on the 1st post, but it seems to work for my phone .... ??!?!
As for moving the volatile folder to internal storage ... it's a feature of my ROM (DiaDuit 1.6.7) ... the ROM automatically does that, even if I put files inside \Application\Volatile\ it moves them to the storage automatically. But everything seems to work fine, including MSVC after I made the above registry tweaks ... so I guess that wasn't the culprit.

Hi,
So I update the config app to version 1.2.
The above mentioned registry fix was already in the config app.
