mute startup sound - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I am looking to mute the excessively loud sound upon startup on my Cingular 8525 - it seems louder with the latest wm5 rom update.
I am a newbie here...I have tried searching but I am not finding the right results. Perhaps I am not using the search feature correctly?
If it requires a registry hack, I will need step-by-step instructions on how to do so. I have no idea how to even see the registry on my 8525! I am not completely computer dumb, just new to pocket pc's and their workings.
Mr. Vanx has great how-to's, Shogun seems to always have an answer, and in general this board is very helpful!

note to self . . .
search by POSTS, not threads and you will get better results!

Disable auto-start of bluetooth

When I first got my XDA I did many tweaks, including (I think) a reg hack to stop bluetooth from automatically starting and displaying the icon in the bottom right.
I've just done a hard-reset to clean out my machine, and while I've got a mountain of hacks and tweaks documented, I obviously missed doing this one and I haven't been able to find any reference to it again. Anyone here know what it is?
I think this will help you

Thanks. Interesting looking app, but not exactly what I'm looking for. After a bit more searching however I have found what I wanted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9584&highlight=bluetooth+system+tray+icon
Good search and happy for u..

After upgrading to WM6 the ringtone volume is too low

Hi,
Under 2003SE the ringtone was loud enough for me.
After installing WM6, the ringtone, when setup for the loudest possible, is still barely hearable.
Is there any fix for it?
Thanks,
vma
You might wanna check the forum first before you post several requests for this already, believe the best answer is put in

Greetings...
Thanks for the link.
I did obviously do a search, however I thought it was a BA/WM6 specific problem, so I did not search the other sections.
Will try this out this evening.
Cheers,
vma
EDIT: I read all 20 pages, but did not get a valid clue, which registry setting to change in order to increase the ring tone on a BA. Also, I don't seem to be the only victim of this annoyance.
Why do some people have this issues, while others don't? Flashing the complete WM6 ROM should reset everything - right?

[Q] Everlasting Questions

As many of you will have seen I've been quite active on this forum from the moment I joined. I want to figure everything out for myself as much as possible, but it's just not possible to look up (and find!) everything. Thus, here are the questions that I can't find an answer for myself:
1) How do I change the standard SW keyboard, without it resetting after a soft reset? (E.g. to blackstone keyboard)
2) How do I change a registry value, without it resetting after a soft reset, when it normally does? (For instance the value whether your headset is plugged in, I want it to be default ON.)
3) How can I extract a cab file from a ROM? I would like to get WLive messenger from the stock ROM, but I just can't find a guide anywhere!
4) Is there a way to fix the problem that occurs with the HW keyboard when Blackstone SW keyboard is installed? The problem is the first keytap not being registered correctly, so the first letter ends up being the second or later. Call it input lag.
I intend to add the found answers to this post, as well as add other hard to answer questions others may have. That is, if an answer exists. Thanks in advance for those who try to help.

1) How do I change the standard SW keyboard, without it resetting after a soft reset? (E.g. to blackstone keyboard)
Use either Sktools to set it as default (it then uses a small program that starts up in startup folder) or Sipchange http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008 (not certain if this one works anymore)
2) How do I change a registry value, without it resetting after a soft reset, when it normally does? (For instance the value whether your headset is plugged in, I want it to be default ON.)
the headset is a tricky one, one way would be to run a script (mortscript maybe) to change the reg entry at startup, but I don't know how often the headset is polled (if at all) to check whether it's in or not).
3) How can I extract a cab file from a ROM? I would like to get WLive messenger from the stock ROM, but I just can't find a guide anywhere!
depends on whether it's a cab or not, unlikely. First you need to extract the rom, there are plenty of threads on this. but's it's obvious if you've tried a rom kitchen, you bung the ruu-signed.nbh in the baserom folder, start the kitchen.cmd and follow the instructions.
Then pour over all the folders and see if there's a cab. If there isn't you need to build one.
search for quickcab as a start (although that one doesn't allow you to import reg files (or *.rgu as they come out in the roms) so you have to do it manually.
4) Is there a way to fix the problem that occurs with the HW keyboard when Blackstone SW keyboard is installed? The problem is the first keytap not being registered correctly, so the first letter ends up being the second or later. Call it input lag.
use a different keyboard, I've not had this issue, but then I prefer the raphael one. There's plenty of other free keyboards about, lifes too short to work out why the software keyboard off one piece of hardware doesn't work with another.. ;P

Haha, I'm afraid you're right on that one fards.
Thanks for your replies, can you give me a link to the raphael keyboard? I'd like to check it out.
Also, I've got tools to create a cab, but extracting a ROM the way you proposed will probably prove difficult, I'll look into it.
The headset value is polled by for instance the FM radio and audiobooster from HTC.

I can't even remember where I got teh keyboard cab from, I'll post it when I get the phone working again!
extracting the rom really is easy, the kitchens make it simple..
that new rom kitchen I linked to makes it even easier, but I still prefer the out and out gui pleasantness that's Pofs Linux rom kitchen
I don't mind answering your's and gtrabs questions, they seem to be the right questions !
just noticed I'm rapidly approaching a kilo posts, must make sure it's not a grumpy post that one...
I managed to miss some text out, but basically when you find the folder containing your desired files take the files out of the folder you want, including the corresponding 409 (or whatever language) folder and stick 'em in the cab software pretty easy to do .
Sometimes it doesn't work so try changing something or try to see if there's a dependency that's missing.
it's really not as secret or hard to do as it's sometimes is made out to be. The hard work has been done by the genius who write the software to let us do this.
turns out it's Smabergs keyboard I use..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2966597
Ah, very nice. Thanks. I've tried smabergs, it has some bugs (landscape mode broken) and it doesn't seem to be supported anymore. Will tinker around with it a bit, as it's good for portrait mode. (Blackstone, but then without the bugs!)
Of course you can find the anwsers to the blackstone cabs, if you would search them all individuality.
I found numerous people asking this question. Call them lazy, but this forum does not make it easier to find information in a convenient way. All i want is to make a nice overview of what all the cabs do and what they look like.
Member Norti has done the same with all the programs/tweaks. If you continue your statement you might also think that topic is unnecessary. I think this forum is very unorganized. Do you think its strange that people keep asking the same questions? I think the problem here is not in the hands of the people asking, but in the forums way of storing data. The search function is not a great tool to search with. Does anyone have some input so we kan make it better?
Maybe this is the wrong topic to post this in, but i thought it was a question many would like to have answered...

Fair enough. Do me a favor and move that post to a seperate topic, it's quite long.

Volume Fade-In

I've been asking around on the MoDaCo forum to see if anyone has found a potential "fix" for the fade in on sound. I was hoping someone around on these forums may know of a way to get rid of the fade-in, or shorten it perhaps. not being an expert in how the audio stack on android devices work, I don't know if it would be as simple as changing a hidden settings file, or if it's at driver/kernel level.
ยป Post on MoDaCo in case anyone's interested...
Its most annoying, as by the time the fade-in has occurred, the notification tone may have finished, so you don't hear it. I hope it can be corrected by someone at some point...
Hi,
You're absolutely right. I was used to symbian calendar notifications, that were SOOOO PERSISTENT: no way to pass unnoticed
Now i hear the sms or calendar sounds 1 out of 5 times.
For the rest, i love this phone.
Bye

Would appreciate Higher Speaker Sound

Ok, here goes. I have searched the forum, came up with a bunch of threads disussing the same or similar, but with no profit in the end.
I would like to know how to boost up a bit the speakrphone sound on my Leo. I have just updated from a Rhodium, for which i had found an audiopara3 file that did exactly that and a member had even post a cab which boosted up the sound. Sadly, the above don't work on Leo (i couldnt even find the audiopara3 file in the windows directory so as to replace it, only some audiopara3_Max/_Min which obviously are not the same).
So, has anyone got something relevant? Or if anyone with a High Sound device could share their above files (in case it's Rom dependant issue)?
Thanks in advance...
do a search in the themes and apps section on xda hd2 forum for srs wow (thread created by sector)... this will help.
Great mate! Thanks for tracking it down, apparently I was searching with the wrong keywords
Anyhow, I'm giving it a try and hopefully it'll do the trick (it work for the other members in that thread so I'm being possitive ) Thanks again.
