Screen Taps Hack? Pref. A .Cab Maybe?!?!?

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.

Doesn't the software "Toonality" change this? I mean you can change it though that program. Search for it.

slider sounds

im looking for app that let me change my slider sound on my tilt? i tried using app called slidesound but it dont work that well

Here's two That I have:
Do you how to in stall them using reg. edit...pm me if you don't and I'll step you though.

i have found some sounds i like now i just need to kno how to put them in the folder for sliding sounds

heres a cab that i found in a transformers sliding sound forum. just install the cab and reset. then you can just copy whatever wav file into the windows directory that you want for the sliding sounds. you just have to name them custom-in and custom-out. its real easy and you dont have to touch the registry.

ok..and what about the default sounds? i tried the slidesound app.and it played the default sound and the one that i wanted

If someone could still help me find the reg edit folder or method of "changing my own oil". There is a little pride I get from plyaing around in the reg edit especially there is the element of risk when working in it.
Thanks for the help

you'll need a registry editor, like phm, total commander, or resco, before you can do anything at all

Hey, Do you have to use a Registry Editor in order to change the slider sound? Or is there another option? I would also like to know if anyone here could possibly walk me through the steps. Thank You

Disable WM6 Startup Sound

I auto-soft reset my Touch at 2 am.
When the title screen for WM comes up that music wakes me up...
How do I disable the WM6 Startup Sound?
Thanks!

I found the culprit = PhoneOn.wav.
I tried deleting the Key for the .wav in HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation
but did not work.
I also tried to delete PhoneOn.wav with Total Commander but its protected from deletion in some way....aaaaargh!
Please help

I would like to no how to. I do the same thing.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled
Set it to 0 for off, 1 for on.

Are the registry edits you making actually getting written? Are you powering off the device after making the edits or just soft resetting?
Verify that the changes are made after booting by reviewing the entries again.

Slim,
I rebooted and the entry is getting written. I then soft reset and that darn music is still playing -- are you on a Touch (Vogue)??
thanks

This worked for me
This is what I just did, seems to work fine.
1) Use Total Commander to search for the registry key which contains sound_on.
or browse to
\HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA\FlightModeOnOff\Sound_on
2) Change the content of that key from "SoundOn.wav" to "silence.wav"
3) Done.
I now get a nice and quiet soft reset. I'm using the HTC Touch / Vogue.
Leon.

Sorry dude, I am using a Tilt. I pulled the reg keys from the ROM kitchen I use to build my ROM; however, I HATE the stupid startup animation and sound, so I never cook it in to my builds.
The calls for your startup animation must be somewhere else.
Try ibloo's solution...I will look around a bit and see if I can find out why those reg edits I suggested don't work for you.

This is HTC related man! Hacking and developing. Not for i200!

FOR HTC PURE,
Here is how to replace the annoying AT&T startup noise with any sound file of your own choice:
Edit the registry at following location:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
Change StartupWav to any other wav files.

Remember..
When you are making changes to the registry...
-exit the registry editor
-give it a good 10 seconds or so, then hit the power button (to blank the screen). This allows the registry settings to bake/get applied.
-Then, do a soft reset.
Else.. if you do it too quick, the changes may not apply/stick.

Hi Chemist
Found this one but what I really want is NO sound at all. How do I achieve that? Can I just remove the reference to the existing .WAV file or do I have to replace it with a .WAV that is empty, ie, no sound? If that is the case do you know where I can get hold of one or how I could make one?
Thanks in advance.

Here you go. Use this cab and it will give you no sound. For those that want to do it without a cab
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
"StartupWav"="\\Windows\\none"

[ How to ] : Turn off your Touch HD without pushing the power button!

Hi guys,
I'm fairly new here, but I thought that I should join in on the contributions and give back to the community, because I've already had countless hours of help just by searching through the knowledge (mostly garbage though..) that can be found through the search engine! Anyhow, after through much sifting, I managed to create a nifty little tool to help you turn off your Touch HD via software. What's the purpose of this? It is simply to preserve the lifespan of your power button. For some reason, the powerbutton and volume buttons just don't seem too solid to me (mainly the powerbutton).
Enough wish-wash, let's get down to it!
What you need:
1) HTC Touch HD (It may work on any phone with a 480 x 800 layout, I'm not sure, I only had enough money to buy a single phone)
2) If you don't already have it, get Mortscript and install it onto your phone.
3) Now, download the tiny attachment and extract the "Auto Shutdown.mscr" file within it. Place this anywhere you'd like, on your Desktop for example.
Baby-Step-by-Step instructions:
1) Connect your phone to the computer. Mine is set via USB only, no active Sync. Copy/Cut the "Auto Shutdown.mscr" file to any location on the phone's storage.
2) Disconnect USB, and unplug the cable.
3) Go to File Explorer, and look for your "Auto Shutdown.mscr", wherever you placed it earlier and copy/cut the file.
4) Navigate your way to the phone's storage via File Explorer, and go to Windows > Start Menu > Programs > MortScript >
5) Paste the "Auto Shutdown.mscr" there.
6) Soft-reset.
And, that's it! I asked you to place the .mscr file inside the MortScript folder because this prevents you from accidentally pressing the file when viewing the Programs menu. If you're going to add the .mscr file to the TouchFLO shortcut list, I strongly suggest you put it all the way to the bottom to prevent accidentally presses as well. After all, upon pressing, your phone will shutdown.
Having said that, you can also now use this with Cyberon Voice Commander or Microsoft Voice Commander, so it's really quite awesome in my opinion.
If someone has already posted something like this (I don't remember seeing any when I searched though...), feel free to ignore this entire post of blabber and move along already, I can't believe you had the patience to read till this last word!
Enjoy! I know I am!
Cheers.
EDIT: I've uploaded a new file down below. Download that file instead. This will now work with any phone running WM 6.1 and higher. I am not certain if this will work on WM 6.5 based cores as I am not sure how the Shutdown process works.

I can't imagine that the power button (nor the volume buttons) will take any damage by simply pressing them. I'm doing so for five months now (pressing them often during the day) and haven't noticed any damage.
The only think to consider is the fact, that you have to press the power button on the left side. You don't need to press it hard then.
Anyway I think there are enough exe files, which will shutdown your device, so writing a MortScript isn't neccessary at all.

John,
Thanks for the input. See, I thought my power button was funky when it was only more responsive on the left side, at least now I know that the phone was made that way. To each his own I guess (I am very compulsive when it comes to the care of a new gadget, sometimes a little insane), I just got the phone like 2 days ago, so I'm still just finding my own balance on what is comfortable and preferable for me. I just thought I'd share it with you guys, that's all .
My philosophy when it comes to doing things is to do things with the least amount of resources, in this case, installing the least amount of programs. I see MortScript being very useful for me in the future in doing certain things without having to install more .exe files.
Cheers!

Using your tool might help to use the power button 10 years or more. I bought my device in Germany. Here we have 2 years of warranty and I don´t plan to use my Blackstone very much longer.

Matt,
I honestly cannot tell if you're trying to be condescending, patronizing or what have you. If you honestly don't want to use the script, simply don't, I'm not begging you to use it. It's really that simple. If you must go out of your way to put other people down for things they've shared, then I simply feel sorry for you.
But okay, thanks for the response.
Cheers.

Thanks for sharing!!!

Guys,
I've actually tweaked it a little bit. I am currently using the attached version. The attached version will work with any phone of any resolution (I think it has to be WM6.1 and above).
Still reading up on the Mortscript language, very nifty, I must say! Enjoy!
Cheers.

I used my last phone (XDA) for five years. The power button went after a couple of years. Ok it really got smashed in as it fell off a two story scaffold on a construction site so I might just bookmark this page for later use.

can we just put the .msr into the programs folder and without installing the mortscript, will it work?

Bigdeal88,
No, you need mortscript because it is the parser. Mortscript is the program that reads and processes/parses the .mscr files. It is essentially a simple script reader.
Why do you ask? Are you not able to use Mortscript?
Cheers.

hi,
this application is just too great to be missed. its just that i am lazy to try mortscript.. would be wonderful if there is a cab file. nonetheless, am dnloading mortscipt now to give this prog a try.
thanks alot!

Hi, i followed the instructions, installed mortscript and copy the file, reset phone. When i click the file "shutdown process.mscr" i get a warning.
Window "Warning" could not be found.
Line 2 (\windows\start menu\programs\mortscript\shutdown process.mscr):waitforactive("warning", 10)

Ruguk,
Are you using WM 6.1? The script assumes that you have the "PowerOffWarning.exe" available in your Windows folder. I would assume that all WM 6.1 would have this file.
@Zolom,
You're welcome.
Cheers.

Hi, my version is just 6. So i guess thats why i don't have PowerOffWarning.exe in windows folder. Maybe its time to upgrade my phone or search more for a full shutdown soft.
Thanks.

Ruguk,
There is no need to mate. Go to your windows folder and browse the contents. I assure you, you will find something along the lines of PoweroffWarning.exe. Just keep looking. When you think you've found the right file, just try pressing on it and see if the warning window pops up. If that's the one, then you've got the right file. All you do then is open the .mscr file with notepad and modify the PowerOffWarning.exe name to the name of whatever it is that you found. It is important that you leave the formatting exactly the same as it was.
Cheers.

You need to use the toshiba settings not the HTC one in comm manager, or try this:
Go to key in registy "HKLM\Software\Drivers\WLAN" and copy the value from 'AdapterName" string. Now go to key in registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN" and edit "DeviceName" string. You see there value like this: "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511". Delete the last part of this value ("TNETW12511") and past the value "AdapterName" which you copy at end. Make soft reset and that is all. Now Wifi button on your device should work properly.
You should search this site as you will find the answer to most questions here. YouTube won't be much help for something this specialist.
