I took them out from a ROM dump and put them into my wizard. The cool Treo sounds are not playing either in my PC of on my phone. Does anyone know why?
whats their format ?
what pc program do you try to play them with?
The ringtones are in midi and waw formats. Please, see attached.
Well, I'm not much of a help here, but I confirmed that some (not all) of the files are reportedly 'corrupted'. E.g. the Ringer .wav file has the relative 19.4k file size, it played (but reported as corrupted) in WMPlayer (PC) and SoundRecorder refuse to open it. Same for some of the mid files.
You want to extract them again?
... if it is possible. I would love to have Treo ringtones. I've used the dump from 750 found here on ftp.
May be someone can redo the dump?
if this is a Treo with pocketpc software cant you just browse from activesync on the pc and copy the files out that way ?
I have a Wizard, not a Treo.
Heh. looks like the job of extracting usefull things from Treo ROM dump is too difficult for my skill level. The only feature I was able to extract is the Web search plugin. Is there any conventional methodology people use to extract appliaction from a dump?
There is the default one here. Probably you can ask for more?

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

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.
Enjoy !

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.

Hi
Since I use my S110 one thing annoys me to deat. I use Wisbar and this closes programs instead of minimizing them. Now, when I click on a *.mid or *.wav that sluggish album program needs to start up and that takes ages. On my old iPAQ (that lacked that album) those files where played by the explorer directly (maybe a small dll, don't know) and that was way faster, there was no delay whatsoever and the album takes its sweet time to come up.
So I'd like to know if there is a way to change the fily type association for the audio files from the album to that smaller player (that is included in WM2003, just don't know the name)?
Please help.
there is a little program called myExtensions available for free, and lets you choose the whatever program you wish for a certain extension..
http://www.badschwii.com/
you can also use Resco File Explorer... use ( open with ) ..
if both combined together.. you'll get very good results :wink:
cheers
Ok thanks, that looks promising. I'll check that out asap.
Ok, that tool worked perfectly. All set and done. Nice, thanks again.
Glad I helped
Inside the windows directory are the usual menu noices, like one is called menupop.wav. These files are inside the ROM, but without flashing the entire ROM, is there a way i can edit the sound files, so that i don't hear the normal cilck that windows mobile gives you.
I want to replace them with some softer vista sound effects. Is this possible??
Thanks in advance.
right click on it remove the read only and try to copy a file with the same name over it, not sure if it will work but it should.
there are 3'rd party plugins that let you choose your own sounds for windows.
Can you please tell me what these plugins are called? I would also like to mess with the windows sounds...
I use a program called cool edit pro. Its not to expensive, but you can edit just about anything but AMR. But what I do for that is use nokia converter. You can convert wav to amr files. With those two peices you can edit any sound file on our beloved devices. One thing I can say, some of the are read/write protected, yes. But when you veiw the files on your computer via active sync, you can modify the permissions.. Hope that helps. Nokia converter is a free program, but Nokia discontinued it about 4 years ago. I can give a link to it and the key (the only reason I offer here is because it is free!!!)
Well guys,
I did it!.
At last my Eten M700 is running all the above said apps peacefully.
No Problems, I will post screenshots later once i get my camera.
I don't know how to pack them all to a cab hence cannot post the items.
Just a hint -- PE-Explorer! does it all.
1. Find dependency
2. Find hard coded strings for bmp and folders.
3. create corresponding folders and copy the required dependent dll files from proper ROM and extended rom.
well done u got it.
Only one thing is SMS plus will not work.
On Clicking Edit.exe it opens camera app.
Equalizer UI works but effects not tested.
mediaplus works and Fmradio will not work even if u stick in the stereo cable.
Folder "_QHiddenPartition" plays an important role.
It contains all the image and skin files for the Mediaplus.exe file.
thanks for the startup I got from here team.

Shreedhara
Does anyone know if it is possible/how to create longer boot up audio as a device starts (after HR/SR)? I'm familiar with creating custom boot screens but I thought it would be cool to have some custom audio (in my case the Descent by Dieselboy) play during device startup, any and all feed back would be appreciated.

Ummmmm, how does a little exe that plays an mp3 sound? You just need to place the exe along with the mp3 in the startup folder. Would you like me to write a little app that does this? Just let me know, it shouldn't take me more than a few minutes to chalk up .

Wow, it's great if you do that, thanks in advance. Waiting for that program. But it should close automatically after boot finished so it couldn't use any RAM in running background

I'm about to goto bed, so I'll do it tomorrow (Unless another developer beats me to it, cuz it really is a simple app). And yes, as soon as the file plays out, the application will close itself, and free up your precious memory, not a problem.
I still wish the animated gif app played sound on the titan like it does on the kaiser. I havent really looked into why it doesnt in depth, but it would be nice.
Thundershadow, when would your app play these sounds? right now the animated gif app should/does play them before the welcomehead screen and after the second splash. If you could cue your app to play then, it would be great. Especially with the longer boot times of WM6 and BigStorage roms.
AudioBoot 0.1
AudioBoot 0.1.
Simply plays "startup.mp3" (which MUST be located in your devices root) when your device starts and kills itself when the mp3 reaches it's end. The application itself is only 5kb, but im using fmod to play the mp3, and that dll is quite large. I could use playsound, but you'd be limited to wav sounds, and mp3's only work with playsound if you're using WM6. So I guess I'll release a WM6 version, which will be roughly 5 kb, and any device prior to WM6 will use fmod.
Installation/Usage:
1)Extract to your device
2)Rename any mp3 "startup.mp3" and place it in your devices root.
3)Place the shortcut in the zip file in Windows\Startup
4)Soft reset and the mp3 should play on boot.
Took me like 5 mins to write, so let me know if it works .
Edit: Just added the source for anyone who wants to improve .
WOW!
You're Good!!!
Waiting for the WM6 version!
Very nice little add-on... could you maybe sign it, or whatever it takes there, to remove the "Unknown Publisher" warning? Having to click "Yes, I trust you" to play a startup noise isn't very fun
I can use it with my Hx4700 WM6 kozhura ROM.
Thanks.

Is i'nt it little too heavy? Can we not cut the flab with small foot print. Play any of the wave file staying inside the \Windows folder?
thanks thundershadow, it works on my Atom, but please make it use "startup.mp3" in /Windows, as I want to build it into my ROM.
AudioBoot 0.1 Wav Only!
Hey guys,
Here's a wav only version of AudioBoot 0.1. Do the same thing, except, put startup.wav in your windows or root directory. I've got the WM5 SDK, so I'll be Downloading the WM6 SDK to make use of the mp3 playing options of playsound. As you can see, it's MUCH MUCH MUCH smaller . If you've got a short startup sound, it's better to use the wav format anyway, you'll end up with a smaller file size.
Here you go .

thank you so much
OK!
I made the following steps on my ETEN X500+ WM6 and it worked
-Made a new folder and put the AdioBoot.exe in it
Root/Program Files/AdioBoot
-Placed an startup.mp3 in the device root
-Added by SKTools a new "startup application"
-Soft Reset the device
WORKING!
Thanx a lot!

Thanks, I'm currently working on another project so I don't have much time to devote to something else, just trying to help as many people as possible . I'll look at getting alternative ways to play mp3 files for devices that are < WM6, since fmod is REALLY BLOATED for such a simple job.
Thank you. works great on my HTC Excalibur WM6
