does anyone no how to get the slider sound on my touch pro2
i think i do... :
on the homescreen.. go to the setting tab.. don't use that tab cuz it's **** but tap 'more' in lower left corner.. then you get all settings.. and then you must tap 'Personal'(it think.. in dutch it's called 'Persoonlijk') and there you have an icon about the slidersound where you can select one..
is this what you meant?
how do we get custom slider sounds?
my quick guess. Find the location those particular sound files are held, put the correct file type into that directory.
this is what i did on a stock tmo rom. create the sound files you want in .wav format. create one for in and one for out. rename them to whatever.xwav. open up a mobile reg editor on your pc. navigate to hkey_local_machine\software\htc\sliding sound. create a new reg key. under value data,name it whatever you want,preferably the name of your sound file , do not put the file extension. just name it like kbin1 or kbout1. now create a new string value for that key. under value data, you must name your sound file the same as your key. example,if i named the new regkey 4, in the new string, the value data would be 4_in.xwav. and the value name would be in. create a new string for the out sound and repeat the process.
sliding
i do believe the sliding sounds from the raphael work also. they have a couple of cabs over there. use the search
Why does it take so much freaking work to do simple changes? You would think adding custom slide sounds would be as simple as ploping the new sounds in a directory and selecting it!
Im not one to go mucking around in the registry myself.. guess ill have to do without.
dude just go to the settings tab in touch flo 3d, then click all settings then hit the personal tab and then hit the icon that says keyboard sliding sounds.
Anyone have any luck with this?
I am using the "transforming" sound from Transformers. I have it where I can at least hear it under the Keyboard Slide Sound settings if I select it and Preview it. But when actually opening/closing my keyboard, I dont hear the sound. Just a default quick beep sound.
* Nevermind. Needed to restart the phone. Now it works!
While it was nice to get it to work, now I get a cprog.exe error anytime I open or close the keyboard with my custom sound activated. Damn it. Why cant things just work!
Hi,
To my opinion (that's what I did), I have placed all my sounds on my storage card (mp3 files) then transformed them in .wav (in the Windows folder) and re-transformed them in .wma files (placed in the Windows/Rings folder).
This way all the sounds I have are available whichever soft or event I nedd them for...
Hope it will help you.

Thanks for this useful info. I used a desktop reg editor to navigate to the hive you specified, created key 5 and copied the contents of key 4 to it making the relevant changes to file names and names. Cracking job.
Where can I get "transforming" or other cool Slide sounds?
Can any one upload dem?

Hello!
Is there some way how to change sounds not listed in "Settings" at "Sounds & Notifications".
For example is it possible to change "low battery" warning sound? Or this "crack" when taping screen/menus.
Thanks
yes you can. example; when you send a text message or the "G" icon comes up (for GPRS); there's a short "blip" sound. the name of this file is "default". it's a wav file, normally you can't change this via the settings. what you do; if you have a wav file that you want to use...example, the file sounds like a dog barking, using your pc rename this file to "default". via activesync, copy and paste the wav file in the windows folder of your xda. there will be a window which pops up asking if you want to replace the existing file with the one you are putting in. simply click ok. so, the next time you send a text message or the gprs icon pops, the sound should be the one you replaced.
take note; if you upgraded to the wm2005 rom, you won't be able to change the sounds. it worked for me before when i was still in wm2003se; but when i switched to wm2005 i could no longer change the preset tones....not that i'm complaining mind you
doing a hard reset will simply revert the sound to the preset wav file the unit came with.
hope that helps
Thanks.
But seems it doesn't help for me. Because my device (HTC Wizard branded as O2 XDA mini S) is with preinstalled WM5 already.
Dose it means that it is impossible to change those sounds?
yeah chances are you won't be able to change the sounds. something like the rom being write-protected, bummer isn't it :?
You can change many of the sounds, actually...
Q. How do I disable the Start menu 'clicks' ?
A. Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications* > |Sounds| > [ ] Events (warnings, system events) i.e. uncheck this option
Q. How do I add a "Low Battery" option to Sounds & Notifications ?
A. Using a registry editor, set:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239c-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\Default = Low Battery (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
If that weird looking bit is confusing you, just click them all and look for the one with a value "Wave = Lowbatt"
Note that this should work for any of the other notifications that have no Sounds & Notifications entry, such as the "online" event.
Q. How do I -change- the Start menu 'clicks' ?
A.
1. Create these two wave files:
MenuPop.wav - This wave file will be played when a menu pops up, such as the Start menu.
hwandsw.wav - This wave file will be played when picking from a menu. For example, selecting an item in the Start menu, selecting a tap-and-hold item, etc.
2. Now copy these two files, via ActiveSync, to your device's "Temp" folder (or any other folder, but not to the Windows folder as it won't allow it.)
3. Now fire up File Explorer (or equivalent, such as Total Commander CE) on your device
4. go to the "Temp" folder, tap-and-hold one of the wav files and select "Copy".
5. go to the "Windows" folder (File Explorer will take its sweet time getting a list at this time. I recommend using Total Commander CE instead), tap-and-hold on an empty area, and choose "Paste". If it asks you if you wish to overwrite the existing file, choose "yes".
6. Do the same for the other wav file, if applicable
7. Turn your device off, then back on - or wait a a while (so that the files are properly squared away) and perform a soft-reset
8. Done
You should now get the sounds that you've made as the menu clicks.
Tested on: HTC Wizard::Qtek 9100 - ROM: 1.1.7.5, ExtROM: 1.1.7.105
Warning: only way to get the originals back is via a hard reset, or by replacing the wav files once more - this time with the original files.
Thanks ZeBoxx
It worked for me
Can you change the tap sound?
couldn't spot any wav/mid for the tap sound.. might be a registry entry related to it somewhere.. I saw a couple of accesses with ceregspy but nothing that would help immediately
Perhaps this thread can help you? It worked for me.
Cheers
tweakradje, could you elaborate on "it worked for me"?
Is it in reference to generally the sounds - e.g. adjusting the associated sound filename with the event?
Or is it in reference to changing the Screen Taps sound? The latter, as far as I could tell when I reviewed those documents, isn't covered. The volume is - but you can change that much through the Control Panel
Sounds (and soundevents) are all over the place.
So far as I know there are 4 places:
- 21 general sounds in HKLM\snd\ in a 21 line multiz string (possible to include paths) See previous post in thread.
- phone sound events in HKCU\Controlpanel\SoundCategories and Sounds
(don't have a phone so I cannot be for sure)
- System Notifications/warnings in HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications
- Screen Taps & Hardware buttons in WAPEAPI.DLL, WAVE\100 to 103
where HW buttons (Loud/Soft) = 100 and 101
Screen taps (Loud/Soft) = 102 and 103
(see attached image)
The latter have to be transplanted with Resource Hacker. Dunno if you can overwrite the WAVEAPI.DLL in de \Windows folder. But it is worth a try.
EDIT: the waveapi.dll.0409.mui is used on my system which is overwritable ;O)
UPDATE: Works splendid. Very nice sound effects (using all above together) :lol:
ps: don't forget to keep a modified copy on your Memory card. After a hard reset the default waveapi.dll.0409.mui will return from ROM.
(or make a proper backup everytime you change something like I do)
Tip: use sndrec32.exe to edit you wav file and do wav conversion
Tip: if you overwrite a \window system file you can always delete it again and do a soft reset to get the original back.
Cheers
nasty... resource hacking just to change that
for the ringtone,you just need to copy the mp3,wma or whatever you want to the root of storage card.The you can find it in the "Ring"
For those of you that are lazy (like me
Here are the "blank" sound files.
Enjoy,

Personal Ringtone
Hi,
I have a 'wizard' or 'imate' as is known in the UK.
I found that if you copy the mp3 you want to play to \Windows\Rings it will then appear as one of the available tones for your phone.

Disabling the Start Button sounds can be done by editing the registry at:
HKLM\Snd\Event\Curr0 and replacing "MenuPopUp" and "hwandsw" both with "Empty".
It's a quick way to return to the home screen, but my device beeps every time I press it. I have all the volumes turned down (the phone is on vibrate).
Cheers
i think it is a bug in the software, i have same problem
There's two sounds being played when you press that button. The first you can change using the following:
get a registry editor and change the following:
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ending\Sound = "Midi2Wave_079_4098.wav" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
You can't just remove the value, as it'll default to "dpadctl.mid". So what you'll want to do first is make a silent .wav file (I've attached one for your convenience), copy that to your device's "\Windows\" folder then change that value to point to it. E.g.
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ending\Sound = "silent.wav" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that this will affect the sound being played when you're in a phonecall, too - so you won't hear that you've pressed the button. At least, not with that sound.
That is the major sound being played. There is another sound being played, at a much lower volume, and you may be perfectly satisfied with the result so far.
If you want to get rid of the 'click' sound as well, you'll have to replace the file "\Windows\hwandsw.wav". You can do this by first copying "silence.wav" to "hwandsw.wav" on your desktop. Now copy this file to your PocketPC's "\Temp\" folder or so - you can't copy directly to the "\Windows\" folder. Now on your PocketPC itself, copy the file from "\Temp\" to "\Windows\", and tell it to overwrite the file.
Now when you press the end button, you should get no sound at all.
Unfortunately this, too, affects other things that would use that sound. Such as selecting from a pop-up menu such as the Start menu and context menus. As such, I recommend making a backup of the original "hwandsw.wav" file so that you can restore it should you decide that the lack of that particular sound in other places is worse than hearing it quietly when you press the End key.
Good luck
alternativly , goto settings>phone>
On first Tab,
Under "keypad" set it to "off". This will disable the sound for the button as well as the keypad. Everything will still work, even to those automatic system, just no audiable feedback.

Thank you so much that "click" when I hit the "end" button would drive me nuts...this worked perfect!!!
MenuPop
There is also a file (MenuPop.wav) that can be overwritten to get ride of the annoying click (pop) sounds when you tap the start menu.

Yep - just keep in mind that this, too, will affect other menus as well. Any pop-up menu, including context menus from tap-and-hold, will no longer 'pop' (not an issue to me, but hey)
The title says everything!! i was thinking the scratch sound the old moto V80 made, or maybe something else. If anyone knows how to change it please let me know!!
Thanks
I just turn the sound off, but I do remember reading somewhere about adding new sounds. I'll look around.
re
currently i have it off too but i would like to customize it!! anyone else have any thoughts??
My Herald came with a HTC app. preinstalled that enabled me to turn it off or specify another sound. It's in the registry somewhere if the app isn't installed btw.
Where can I put new sounds for the keyboard? I can only choose betwen 3 sounds. (I have the application installed)

think u have to put em in the windows folder, and they have to be *.wav
havnt tested myself but should work
Look for a key in the registry called "SlidingSound". It has 3 keys, "0", "1", and "2", each corresponding to the 3 sound options. Copy the .wav files you want into the windows directory. Choose any one of the 3 keys and change the "in" and "out" string values to the sounds you want. I tried this and it worked. I think I'll make my slide out sound like a cash register until it becomes more annoying than humorous.

where are you finding that in the registry? I found the slidingsound in the registry...but nothing where it shows the other tones or me having the ability to add mine...I'm using total commander
never mind...found the registry...but new problem is total commander won't let me copy and past the wav files that I want to use into the windows directory. it won't allow me to replace the other slider sounds also...what am I doing wrong?

I Have A Tmobile Wing, I Have Already Changed The Splash Screen But I Know It Has To Be A Way To Change The Startup Sound Just Like I Changed The Splash Screen. What File Format Does It Have To Be In And What Do I Call It? Also If There A Size Limit On The Sound Byte?
anybody??
look for a sound called startup or some thing like this in \windows folder..or u can use Audio Boot ( a s/w)
Change Start-up Sound
First you have to have a Registry program like Resco.
Find or create a .wav file and copy it into your windows directory with whatever name you want, just remember exactly what you called it.
Open your Registry program and got to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
HTC
Startup Animation
The bottom two should be Volumn and WAVfile
If there is already something there just change the string to your file name. If nothing there you will have to add as follows.
Choose WAVfile Name = Wavfile and string = \Windows\yourfilenamehere.wav
Choose Volumen Dword data =4555 and Base= dec
Click Done and Exit Perform soft reset and watch and listen. I'm no Pro, but that should be correct. Let me know.
Edit- I double checked the setup in my device TILT and this is what I had.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"Volumn"=dword:000003E8
"WAVFile"="\Windows\YourFileNameHere.wav"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"GIFFile"="\Windows\animated.gif"
"Priority"=dword:000000C8
worked great, thanks. also i say the tmobile startup wall paper, i can change that the same exact way i changed my splash screen and just edit the registry value correct?
T-Mobile Start screen
If you are refering to the very first Boot screen then NO. You have to flash that with RUU like you do a ROM. The animated.gif file and the
welcomehead.96.png are easily done. You just have to name them as above and use Resco File Explorer to drop into Windows directory and overwrite the original file. If you want to keep the old file and not overwrite just rename it by adding a "2" after the file name that way you know which one is which. That way you can just rename it again to the original if you want to put it back. Glad to actually help someone, Kevin
Been experimenting a bit with this as well...
Works all fine but I just don't understand the "Volumn" registry value. On my Hermes, it was set to 9 by default, giving a pretty loud startup sound. On my Kaiser I set it to 4555 now before I could even hear it, and still it's pretty silent. Both are running WM 6.1.
Any logic behind this? (except maybe that a Kaiser isn't a Hermes )
You can use Schap's adv config, didn't work for me on my Touch, maybe it will work for you. But, I manually changed the sound. It's either startup.wav or silent.wav.
Works half now
Some sounds are played okay, but I tried the Diamond startup sound and that one just makes a strange noise instead of the real sound... Works fine when playing it in Media Player
I'll just keep messing with it some more
I have looked on the following thread and it tries to explain how to change the programs that are listed on the soft keys.
http://translate.google.com/transla...icks-tweaks.html&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&sl=auto&tl=en
I can navigate to the files but don't know how to edit them.
Can someone help????
I am using PHM Registry Editor.
Also, is there a program to display emoticons in texts like this rather than the character version : )
There is an app called Touch HD Tweak. It has all the registry hacks for the HD preloaded, all you have to do is select which ones you want active.
You can also use Advance Config by Schaps; works great.
Oh yea, that too. It has a simpler GUI so its easier, I guess, for you to change things around.
I want to do it through the registry so that i can put my own programs there. i have tweak but you are restricted to a preset list.
What do you mean by "put your own programs there?" You can add any shortcut using Advance Config and name it the way you want.

You don't need to edit the files just know what they are called and the path where they are located so you can copy that into HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/ via the registry editor. So for example to make right soft key open up the camera go to HKLM/Software/HTC/manila - then type in HomeRSKPath: \Windows\Camera.exe
then type in HomeRSK Text "Camera".
Power off and on for it to take effect - but may work without.
Hope that makes sense.
Thats what i'm saying in my original question.
I can get to the manila folder and then click values to see the files HomeRSKPath etc.(they have an 'ab' icon in PHB editor).
I can't find how to change the text and paths for the file.
If i click edit it only gives me the ability to change theusual binary numbers and name of the file
Can anyone tell me how to edit the HomeRSKPath files?

Put your stylus on the icon of HomeRSKPath and you will get a window pop up where you can insert your new app and path for it.
Sorted it, i wasn't restarting the phone so the registry wasn't getting re-written. Long day!
Metalboz,
The settings are in the registry, not in files. You need a registry editor to acces those keys and modify the value.
can anyone tell me how to put comm manager on the left softkey. thanks in advance.
This is what i did using PHM Registry Editor -
Open PHM Registry Editor
Navigate to HKLM/Software/HTC/manila
Press values
Click on HomeLSKPath
Press Enter key
-Opens up screen with the following-
------------------------------------
Vaule Name:
HomeLSKPath
Value Data:
Value Type:
REG_SZ
------------------------------------
Insert the path to the program you want run eg-
------------------------------------
Value Data:
\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe
------------------------------------
Click done
Do the same for the HomeLSKText file but put the text that you want to show on the screen in the Value Data field.
Turn phone off and back on again.
Should be sorted for you.
