My first post in this incredible forum, I have all ready found so much help here and are most thankful, please keep it up.
Is it possible to make your own message sounds and use them when recieving text messages etc.
If possible at all what format should the file be in (mp3 wav)?
Tried with an mp3 placed in the windows folder it seems it cant find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not an expert so hopefully one will reply, but I think they have to be .wav and I think they have to go in the \windows\rings folder.
cheers

Actually, you are 1/2 right, they need to be wavs, but they go directly into windows, not in the rings folder.
Steve
Yep steve is correct the sound file will need to be a .wav and place into the windows folder, ring tones can be mid,wav and so on and they are placed into the rings folder within windows.
Sound file converter???
Morning all,
My first posting also and yes this has to be the mecca for knwledge of all Wizard related things. My question:
Does anyone know of any software downloads which can convert .wma, mp3 or similar files into .wav??? I'm a complete novice at this sort of stuff but the array of ringtones and message alert tones is rubbish on my K-jam. Thanks for any replies.

You might try Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
It's a free download. I use Sound Editor in Roxio's Media Creator 8 -- one of the MANY useful tools in that program.

YW -- (but I'm a GAL -- not a guy)!! LOL!! But, that's ok -- none of my friends can believe how "techy" I am, either. But, I'm the first one they come running to with a problem. Go Figger!!
Cheers all,
You keep refering to ring sounds, I am looking for Sounds for alarms and recieved messages, and alerts in general.
But I will try it now with wav files in stead of mp3.
Manindesert,
I'm using Sound Forge 7, but then again I really need it for all my music stuff, so give Audacity a shot.
Update Works fine with alarm and message sounds, thank you all.
Is there any way, hack or otherwise, that will allow you to point your rings/sounds to your SD card? Thought it would be nice to free some space and stop having to move files on and off the card. I change my ring tone with my mood
Javahater,
I've been loking for a hack/program/setting that will do that, but no luck so far.
Unfortunately, all SMS & ring tones must be located in main memory!
But there's a possibility to create a program that will browse a folder of ring tones on SD card & once u select a tone, it will be copied to main memory (and of course erase the old default tone from main memory) & will set this new file as the default ring tone for the phone.
Javahater and Ezzkht,
Maybe you should look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks scroll down to this "ANY FOLDER RING TONES"
You will need a Registry Editor like Total Commander 2 or PHM Regedit
Hope this helps
Javahater,
Have been trying above solution for about an hour, seems that this solution doesn't work under WM5, or at least it doesn't make any difference if you change the folder or not (it only points to windows not windows\rings)
Will have to keep looking.

Thanks a lot Mikebj, it worked like a charm & without soft reset
I just copied all my favourite ring tones to the Storage ROM & it works 100%

AGREED !! I've got WM2003SE tried the steps mentioned http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks no use.......it still picks up the default folder from \windows\rings, where as I am pointing it towards \Storage Card\Sound\ not working
ok just double checked.....in sounds and notifications options it goes to \windows\rings folder.....but I have o2 plus installed as well...and in o2 plus sounds and notifications options it points me to \Storage Card\Sound any ideas ?
Ezzkht,
Happy t worked for you, can't say the same for me.
Well it is getting more and more weird, when I look in my registry it only points to \windows\ not even \windows\rings\, despite this it still manages to pick up ringtones/sounds in the rings directory, and all sound files placed in the root of the SD Card(go figure).
I'm out of ideas right now, but am still looking for a solution and will be back if I find one.
I just used Resco Explorer with the registry editor add-in.
It worked with me without a soft-reset!
What device do you have, Mike?
Maybe some nice sounds
Hello everyone!
It's a little bit off topic, a little bit not
My advice: SD card is not really a good place for sounds, at least in my case. Why? Sometimes it happened that when I got a phone call, instead of my nice ringtone I've heard the standard one. I think it has sth to do with powering up SD card while changing from standby mode. It's just my impression.
Secondly: I'm looking for some nice SMS ringtones, not the funky ones... I'm getting a lot of messages and it's really boring if you hear "Heeeeellooooo! Your message is coooooomingggg!" every now and then. I will appreciate if you could share your ringtone with me

Hi!
I've been reading a lot of these forums about activating A2DP with a mono-bluetooth headsets, and found (in different places) some different ways, (change a couple of registry settings and with some pocket pc/headset one had to change a file called BTAGExt.dll)
I have made a CAB file for these hacks and also included the file "BTAGExt_new.dll" I call it _new because I change the registry to locate this new file instead of the old, that way one doesn't have to overwrite the dll file and can, if problems occur, change in the registry instead. The file is needed for some (me included) that are having trouble with music playing in the headset for about 10seconds.
Anyway, i have made a self-installing cab file for this, so that other people may use it easily, without need of hacking the registry, one does not need to use btaudioon and similar program to make this work,
EDIT: AS many people pointed out, here are the instructions to USE this , sorry for that:

It is nice to see my little hack being used
BE AWARE:
*VoiceCommand DOESN'T WORK!! (since my cab disables it in favour of all-sound in headset)
*I take NO RESPONSIBILITY if this crashes your phone or anything else, USE IT AT OWN RISK!
* It only changes this things:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll"
Then do a soft-reset and voila, the sound should work.!
This worked great with my X01HT and Motorola HS850.
I used this too with my Sony HBH-60 bluetooth mono headset and it worked perfectly for me too .
Much better for listening to podcasts while in bed!
(no more strangling myself with earphone wires! )

I am not sure, but I belive that if you uninstall it it should go "back" to normal.
otherwise, the "normal" would be
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000001
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a (this setting just changes the soundquality)
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050 (this too delete if not wanted)
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e (and this, delete if not wanted)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c (delete if not wanted, better quality)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1 (KEEP!)
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180 (change to 30seconds or whatever, dword:30)
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have) (delete this file!)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll" (change to BTAGExt.dll)

Thank you very much.
I use the audio to bluetooth feature with skype as it would otherwise send the sound to the loudspeaker, which, in a public place is not really convenient.
Now, with the code to "on" the sound and the code to"off" it, maybe there would be a simple way to create an app which would toggle from one state to the other? would you know how to do that ? alternatively, is there some kind of scripting tool for the ppc that I could use ?
thanks in advance,
papex

Interestingly, this makes A2DP to transfer everytig in mono on my other MS BT stack-based devices, as has also been pointed out in my related article - are you sure this is the original value?

I believe that it is, at least on my device, but I may be wrong, it was long since I did my cab file. so not 100% sure no,
I was as curios as you, could it be that it uses mono to save bandwith? and thereby increase the range of the bluetooth?
but hey, I am no expert, I roughly took reghacks from around this forum and put together a cab file, I tried to make the cab to produce the best sound availible to a monoheadset, and nothing more, nothing less.
as it were a couple of weeks ago I since I did this i don't really remember every detail of it, but I believe most of this is stated in the hermes_wiki

Mic on bluetooth headset
I wanna know if I installed this file to use something like Skype, can I not only hear the sound from my Bluetooth headset but also speak through the headset too?
How do I get back to normal?
Hoping someone could help me out. I tried installing the file above. The installation process went well, but immediately following the soft reset, I noticed that my phone screens and response to menu picks was considerably slower. My phone locks up all of the time, and I am unable to toggle the bluetooth on and off. I tried to uninstall the application, but I get a message at the end saying that it was unable to completely remove the program. Wondering if anyone could help me to get to the registry and change the settings back to normal. HELP!!!!

Thank you for the cab/hacks. None of the other alternatives worked on my 8525. Now if someone could incorporate this into someway to switch between modes, that would be great. Right now, I install and uninstall the cab several times a day! I get nervous that the registry will get corrupt from all of the install/uninstalls.
Thank you very much!
Hi!
thanks for all the appreciation about my cab! I am happy to see that others are using it and are happy about it
I also noticed that some people has problems with it,
dhenry88: Try and install it again, otherwise, try and revert the setting yourself, I posted the "original" settings a some time ago in this thread, so go get a reg-editor and hack it
because that is all the cab-file does, changes registry (and copies a file to /windows/system32
however, this file is not important for the os itself (because I change the registry to find the changed file, not changing the file and overwriting the original.
but sorry to hear that it had such bad performance on your phone, it shouldn't do anything like that, but hey, every phone is different.

Indeed this is a great little program and I'm very thankful for it. Like lantern, I think it would be great if someone could figure out a way to switch modes easily as I'm unable to initiate a voice call through my Bluetooth headset with this program installed. I too have to install/uninstall the cab many times each day. I’m certainly not complaining, just expressing a wish.
There are some CAB. files for your Herald. They work on other devices and on Herald also!!! You should know what they are for when seeing their names!
The CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix: After installing this, you can switch your Herald into Vibration Mode by Comm.button (press an hold in 3 seconds)
Dateandtime.cab: Date and time will be displayed both on the taskbar but depend on you, you want them to be shown all the time or only on Today screen.(settings=> system=> clock & alarm=> more...)
WM VI Batti: Your battery life is displayed on the top of taskbar. Very nice!
HTC_X-Button: Is this the same function as whats included in the HTC roms. Same but more functions! This is new version!
Soft Key Applet: this allow to change the softkeys.
Have fun!
Nice dial skin!
This is a very nice dial skin. Please try and enjoy!

Dont ask, just try!
HTC Audio Manager

thanks for this, i dont know what some of the things in the first one do, i have the tmobile wing
but i got some htc audio booster and the dialpad and the audio manager
with the 10 button com thing, is the color going to be pink or does it match with the theme?
edit: nvm, the audio boost matched the theme so I guess that answers my question, thanks for the post!

First and formost thanks for posting all these great files. I hope this thread continues to grow. I really like the audio manager cab; it is much improved over the audio manager that came with my herald. However I have a few questions on the files included by the OP.
The CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix: What exactly does it fix? My function seems to work perfectly.
Dateandtime.cab: I am assuming this is the date and time on the task bar all the time?
WM VI Batti: I have no idea what this is for
HTC_X-Button: Is this the same function as whats included in the HTC roms?
Soft Key Applet: I assume this allows one to change the softkeys.
Could someone please elaborate on these cabs?

After installing this, at first you tip on the small frame 'Equalizer' than you choose the type of equalizer (classic, normal, bass Booter...) on the under frame and than the frme on the right. it allows you to change and activate the equalizer!

Seems to work fine on mine. As to your earlier post answering my questions about the cab files. My 4350 has always went into vibrate mode when pressing the comm button. Perhaps earlier roms didn't.

Sorry but it still doesn't work. The box next to the equalizer cannot be checked and furthermore, when the settings are changed on the equalizer, the sound does not change. My gut feeling is that some registry settings are missing, but I don't have a Herald, so I have no idea if this is device specific or not.

Convert your tone/tune to .wav and place it in the windows folder.
If you can't convert it to a wav then upload it here and i will for you.
can someone tell me which program i can use to convert it, preferably a program i will already have or something i can downlaod
ta
Gaz
Usually you'd need to pay for one, which is why I offered to convert some for you. Audio editor gold is a good program.
i wasnt turnin my nose up at your offer lol, was just hoping to be prepped to be able to do it in the future
ill have a look for that program on google
To save me searching through the device does anyone know which sound to replace with silence to get rid of the new startup sound in new roms?
or even a reg tweak to disable it?

I prefer not to use cabs though as i like to know exactly what i am doing when tweaking and would prefer not to decompile the cab to see exactly wtf is going on!
I take it that cab replaces the wav file all together?
If you didnt want to do this you can simply go to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\StartupWav
and edit the name of the wav file in that key ( i added a character to its file name so it would be easy to change back if needed.)
was just looking for your post! does it work properly? the stuttering tone at the mo is a tad annoying!!

Yeah, tell me about it! What's the point of putting a startup sound if it stutters? It makes the whole device look cheap right from its first powerup.
All my cab does is replace the wav file with a tiny silent one, therefore saving precious ROM space. It works fine for me, and I've not had any complaints so far.
Where is startup tone located?
Hi
Could someone tell me which folder the startup tone is located? I wanted to replace it with my own wav.
Thanks
