Before I got an ipod I had this mp4 player that looked like an ipod and there was a file someone had made that made the computer recognize the mp4 player as ex: "black mypod" instead of removable disk so I was wondering if someone could make it for the G1 with a black, white, or bronze Icon it was just a text file and then an icon file but I can't remember what it said exactly.
or if someone could tell me how to do it I could make it.
it's autorun.inf if i remember correctly. Get a cd you have with a custom icon and look for a file named like that, modify it to your needs and copy it to the root of your G1. But it will only work when you choose "mount USB" not when phone is connected but not "mounted".
I use this one from jklong03. I assume it is easy to change

Is there any way (via the registry or whatever) that the system sounds, such as the stylus tap sound and start menu sounds etc can be changed on windows mobile 2003? i know there is a program called SoundZ cool but i dont see the point in paying for an app if its possible to do it yourself
They are all sounds in the windows directory.
Some you can choose in Settings/sounds & notifications
Other you can overwrite the files with another with the same name.
Probably you could change it somewhere in the registry, but don't know exactly where.
funnily enough, i havent tried replacing them as i thought they may be in rom :? ill have a go now cheers m8
nah, just as i thought - the files are stored in ROM rather than RAM so you cant just replace them. It looks like either a registry change or cooking a new rom coz the default sounds on pocket pc are rubbish! if anyone has any information on whereabouts in the registry i could change these sounds please say so! ive looked through it and cant find anything really
You are correct, the .wav files for all the events are stored in ROM, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can't change them.
You can replace them for any sounds you like as long as you named them the same.
Here you have the ones I use. Just unzip and copy to your /windows/ folder on the Pocket PC and make sure you answer YES to the overwrite requestor. You are not actually overwriting anything, in fact, if you ever want to go back to your old sounds, just delete them from the /windows/ folder and SOFT-RESET.
**NOTE** I just couldn't attach the .ZIP file with the sounds, if you like to have them please email me at rayan(at)sonyericssonfans.com
Regards,
Sergio
That's correct, you can change virtually every sound provided you know what the names are of the .wav in \Windows.
I myself substituted all the default ones for those in WinXP and it sounds a lot better. I never liked the old xda sounds and so ever since having the first XDA I changed them.
I just wish I could figure out a way of letting the phone play .mid files as message alert tones...I know you can convert them but they don't sound the same.
Cheers
Anthony
why does my fone say "unable to access the file" when i click replace?? is there a way to get around this??
Thanks!!
I actually changed the "select" and the "menu command" wav files to those of my liking. Thru some explorer app. such as "Total Command" I copied those two files available under Windows to some other folder and changed the attributes of the "Rom", "ReadOnly" & "System" to be "Archive".
Returned them back to Windows with the same attrib.
Overwritten them with ones of my choice such as "Spece MenuPop.wav"...
Mind you that you need to rename them exactly the original way and case sensetive.
Some how limitations are limited!! 8)
Cool.. great tutorial...

replace all 3 sounds
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a zip file to replace all 3 default sounds on your wing. Just unzip, copy and paste these into the window directory on your phone thru ActiveSync and replace the default sounds.
You can rename all three
HKLM\Software\HTC\SlidingSound......
0 = change to "Star Trek Door"
1 = change to "Whistle"
2 = change to "Transformers"
Enjoy !!!!!!
hi i tried this and its giving me an error saying make sure u have enough memory or its not overwrite protection or something like? iam not sure wat iam doin wrong can u help please
not sure
I tested these sounds on my phone. Just unzip, copy, then paste them into your windows directory on your wing. It should just ask you if you want to overwrite the ones already there.
If you are having Memory problems maybe you change your Pagepool size to 6.
Memmaid is also a really good program to free up memory or manage your memory.
try this
Try to copy and paste each sound into windows one at a time instead of all 3.

if it's an issue of write protection try using a different file explorer like TC to change the permissions of that file. Then rename it so the file names are the same and it should allow you to replace the one in the windows folder with this edited one.
I'm not sure about you guys but I can't stand the sliding sounds... this is the first thing I turn off everytime I do a reset...but hey thats just me

There should be a box you uncheck in settings/sliding keyboard.
Found this new one -- made it my third one
This one is really cool. When you open your keyboard you hear a lock and load of a gun. Close it and it fires a gunshot. Its funny.
I've found the way to add the sounds instead of overwrite them. Here the registry changes:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound]
"ActiveSlidingSound"=dword:00000003
"SlidingSoundEffect"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\4]
"out"="Tr_out.wav"
"in"="Tr_in.wav"
@="Transformers"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\3]
"out"="Slider0_out.wav"
"in"="Slider0_in.wav"
@="Star Trek"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\2]
@="Xylophone"
"out"="2_out.wav"
"in"="2_in.wav"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\1]
@="Piano"
"out"="1_out.wav"
"in"="1_in.wav"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\0]
@="Wind Chimes"
"out"="0_out.wav"
"in"="0_in.wav"
0,1 and 2 were the original sounds. I added 3 and 4...
This works on a Herald with Touch IT...
Gentlemen,
I was successful at tweaking the registry and adding a folder to use the transformer sound but when I add my own wav sound, it does not work. Any info ????

Are you using Windows Vista to Sync Up to your phone?
(Vista hides the windows folder on your phone)
No im using Xp with SP2. I know reading the manual would have prolly helped in all this, but for now Im just concerned with the slider sounds. So if anyone has the time and patience to give me a bit of a dumbed down short walk thru to either sync the wavs for the slider sound, or to copy the files into the phone from SD card that would be great.
Thanks for the reply and any other help I can get.

Did you download ActiveSync 4.5 from Microsoft?
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/4/6/5467c040-a935-4987-aa30-5dcbc36a57db/setup.msi
First, you need to install Activesync to your PC, then sync up your phone to where it says connected.
I have the Wing with Touch 2.3 and I looked everywhere for the sliding keyboard setting. I looked under my settings tab but cant seem to find the setting plz help

So with this new activesync are there just more options for the sync? Does it open up a sounds, or slider sounds file? I also keep gettin an error msg when try to download it. It is supost to be run on my pc and not the wing correct? Isnt there an easier way to copy the modified sounds from my SD card straight to a folder? And where is the directory....I cant seem to find it.
Thanks

Also, I think I may have already had 4.5 on my pc which is where the error msg was coming from. I uninstalled and then reinstalled. Im gonna get into that fat wing user manual and try to learn more about active sync. in the mean time if there is anyway to copy it from my SD to a folder that would be a big help.
Thanks again

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'

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.
I'm trying to replace my stock blue tooth icons with a couple cools ones I found here but when I try to add the new bt on mode bmp file to windows it says it already exists, would i like to replace. When i click yes, it says I can't replace the original file. I know there is a way around this or an application that lets you overwrite. Can someone please help me out?
Thanks!
p.s.
Did a search and found everything but what I'm looking for.:
Use TotalCommander (free - available here: http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm) or Resco Explorer (not free) which allow overwriting files in the Windows directory. I did the same for replacing the BT icons with coloured ones.
Hope this helps,
Martin
Where do you find those color icons you are using instead of the original ones? Does anybody have a full set of color icons to share?

I'm not sure what you mean... There is a TotalCommander CAB file available from that link. Install it directly on the phone.
(Depending on what phone you have, you almost certainly want the first one in the table for ARM and XSCALE CPU's.)

pull /system/app/Launcher.apk
Unzip it. Yes, apk is a zip file.
Look for your wallpaper file.
more details...
after getting the apk file just append a .zip at the end of the file name, might help

"open with" doesn't come into the picture.
The file type is determined by the data within the file and the permission bits, not the file extension.
And what is this "windoze" you mention? Seems like something you put in your WALL in order to see outside.

no i'm not talking about this windows, i'm talking about windows as in M$ windows the OS which is something like...
1 - this free linux thing laying around with people using it and calling them self gurus coz they got to open termainl and hit a ls command or got see a gut of the xorg file...
2- this mac os which is stuck between no gaming support or real work abilites but rather a really fancy dock bar and an illuminated logo ...
so M$ windoze or widows what ever you wanna call is another OS that
1- Cost money "for who ever have it"
2- an OS with gaming and working abilities "including development"
...
there is a free app called Wallpaper Set and Save.
