Registry Searching --> Developers or People With Registry

Hello,
I have a question. Maybe someone knows on this forum???
Where can I find the keys which change the speaker icon in the taskbar? Next tot the phone signal there is a speaker icon. It changes to vibrate and silence when selected. Which keys in the registry do this? How is this icon changed?
I kow it is possible, because some apps support this, but I can't find how to do!
Thanx for anyones help!

No one knows? Anyone should......
Where is this one switched in the registry? Which value changes???
Hope some can help!
Phone Profiles from JGUI can do.... So someone should know about this...

Help would be really appreciated, then developing can go on!!! With I hope an excellent product for everyone!

what makes you think that those programs use the registry to change icons or what ever it is you are talking about

Sorry, don't get your point exactly! I try to let the icon (volume icon) get changed programmaticaly, like it changes when changing the volume to vibrate or off.
I suspect that it is done bu the registry! Any other ideas? Anyone knows how this is done? Someone should know....

Are you actually wanting to mute the volume aswell ?
Try looking in HKey_Current_user\Control Panel\Volume (don't have a PPC here atm, so can't check)
Otherwise, I would export your registry, change the setting to vibrate manually, then export again. Copy both these to your PC and compare them.. there are many programs that can do this for you to make life easy

well maybe it's a function in the api / sdk / framework of the pocketpc phone edition
whats make you think it's set in the registry?

Well, that was the first thing that came to me. I saw it in the application of JGUI I stated above and though that it should be a registry value. I couldn't think of any SDK / Framework / API, because that would make it almost impossible to implement it like this.
The volume can be muted as well, but for now the muting volume and vibration is done already, but I am still looking for how to change the picture of the volume icon.
Rudegar, do you have any idea then???

The key you gave me indeed changes when setting some different volume settings. But I didn't find any key yet in that place which changes the picture I mentioned. Anyone?

Why could no one tell me about this? No developer has ever tried to hack this picture? Any ideas are welcome!

may lightning strike me down for posting a microsoft link here
but maybe the today screen is what you need to be able to edit to get what you want.
I'm not 100% sure, but it may point you in the right direction.

the registry has nothing to do with what you want to do.

What is doing the trick then? Why can't I manage to change these icons until now? Anyone??

those icons are located in one of the OS dlls. I believe that it's in the mfce300.dll Maybe you can change it creating a .mui for that dll but I'm not sure.

AWESOME: Vibrate feedback on phone key press

faysel, over at the modaco forum has come up with this awesome cab that lets you get vibrating feedback everytime you press one of the number buttons in the phone. The vibration lasts as long (or as short!) as you press the button.
Great cab, very useful for knowing whether you have indeed pressed the key.

This is great, thank you. I used to use Redial with vibrating effect on my PDA2k (WM2003SE) but this is even better

don't expect a long battery life with that! :wink:

Are you kidding me? I mean what kind of a battery effect you think it will have? Its such a small vibe that I don't expect to have ANY noticable effect on battery life. First it vibes only when you dial phone numbers (how many a day? 5? 6? even 20? Its still nothing. Second, receiving a phone call, that is the vibration during it, probably uses more power than this addition will use in 20 calls...
I really disagree... :wink:

This is a great little program!

I don't like it because if you tap fast, it wont vibrate. In addition to this, there is a serious problem with the dialer after you uninstall it.
So I had to reinstall it and now i'm stuck with it
My rating : 0 (ZERO)

@Andrew_sh: use the attached cab to get the keytones back, then uncheck from the sounds and notifications settings to get a working silent dialer back.

@Koksie
Thanks for trying but unfortunately it won't fix it.
When I press the button , the tone will sound but if I press it again shortly after, it lags and makes a higher pitched tone.

Sorry to hear it didn't work Andrew, I have no idea how to fix this. I use the vibrate and am happy with it, on my Magician going back with this cab worked fine, I have no idea what is causing this in your Prophet. I hope you can figure it out and correct it, good luck with that.

Try this, it's a saved registry string of the original keys that the .cab modified. Hopefully i'll work for you without messing up anything else.
I had to rename the file vibrate off.reg.exe to ba able to attach it. Just delete the .exe part ie. vibrate off.reg

this is a technical forum
can someone paste here the registry keys which are being modified by this vibrate utility?
thanks

Using a registry editor navigate to the following keys and follow the directions. Do this for each of the listed registy keys
1. Rename Standard DWORD parameter "Sound" to "Sound1"
2. Create new String Parameter "Sound"
3. Assign value *vibrate* to this new parameter.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf#
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf*
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf3
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf4
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf5
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf6
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf7
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf8
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf9

this mod doesn't work fine for me, I noticed the vibrate a few time but it's not working everytime I tap on the Keypad...
Strange :?

Although the mod works fine, I had big troubles removing it again.
After removing the mod with the supplied cab file any keys pressed in the dialer would lag and emmit a short beep.
i finally succeeded in removing it manually:
First reinstall the vibrate mod again so that the keys vibrated again when pressed.
Then go into the registery keys posted above, deleted the parameter "Sound" and then rename the parameter "Sound1" back to "Sound".
Do this for all Dtmf keys.
Thats all

its true if you tap fast it wont vibrate at all.. very annoying. is there a way to make it vibrate for a set lenght.. much like the dtmf tones used to be.. no matter how long or short i press..
that would be very useful.
regards,
tom

I used this mod until I found out that I couldn't turn off vibrate on incoming calls anymore. I can't be sure that they are related, but the timing was right. The next time I did a ROM upgrade I didn't install it again. I use speed dial with Photo Contacts Pro anyway.

Never mind - problem fixed

Not installing on Tytn / Black2.5
"Installation unsuccesfull, Not meant for this device"
Did anybody have more luck? How?

I don't like this
...the vibrate just doesn't trigger some of the time, which means you can't rely on tactile feedback on dialling, which makes it fairly useless. Sorry...

buhahahaha
*buzz* *buzz* *buzz*
works fine on my Jamin. Great app

Sound when you change your volume

Maybe it's just me but the sound when i change the volume of the diamond freaks me out... especially when i'm listening music with earplugs and i just wanna do it a little more louder it disturbs me.
Is there a way to make them go away? Maybe just erase the soundfiles? If yes, can somebody please tell me where i can find them?
pls help me

You can disable the 'sound beeps while changing volume' by using Diamond Tweak.

Thanks a lot for helping me fixing my problem...
I installed diamond tweak already but i did not find a tweak for fixing my prob.
I have Installed the 0.5 version is there a newer one? I couldn't find one in the internet so far...

Tweak # 1.5 in Diamond Tweak.
But it is only for in call beeps as the description says. Still you can try it. Sorry if it doesnt help.

still have this issue on Wm6.5 energyrom phoenix 2
I cannot disable the volume change sound.
Tried looking for wav files, tried using advancedtweak (And other tweak programs).
I can only get them to shut off when in a call. I want them to be disabled forever. Any solution ideas

Same here. I have looked in the registry and I can't find anything about the volume beep not incall.

i was looking for the same thing and the only solution i found was to install another volume control app
S2U2 includes a silent volume control that works perfectly

Hi,
When browsing the HD2 forums (I'm gonna get one in a few days, yay!) I found this:
75. Disable Beeps When Altering Volume
When you press the volume key you getting annoying beeps. This tweak allows to change the volume silently without the beeps.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\Mute Change from 3 to 1.
It worked on my TP so I assume it'll work on you Diamond to.
Cheers,
/Cacti

Just tested on Topaz and it works like a charm
So simple
Cheers for that mate
Take care

actually tested it and it's wrong
what it does is disables events, reminders and sets notifications to silent
maybe it works on Leo but not on Topaz

How do I change to the default WM volume control?

The HTC volume control is sexy and everything but it's not as usable for me as the default Windows Mobile volume bubble that I've been using for years.
When I press the hardware volume buttons I want to set the volume for the whole device (SMS & email notifications, music playback etc) but the HTC screen always defaults to the ring volume (which I never need to adjust).
The WM volume bubble on my Elf was always focussed on the System slider and I'd like to drop the HTC screen in favour of it, assuming it works the same way. Anybody know of a way of doing this?

Its al over this forum
Try searching the forum next time!
But for now, change the following registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ HTC \ VolumeOverlay \
change "DefaultPage" to 0

Oops Sorry
I've been reading the Blackstone forum for a few months and didn't notice any threads on this.
I'll try your solution. Thanks.

Hmm. I've changed that reg. value and it hasn't made any difference. Is that a Blackstone-specific solution or is it from the Diamond or Pro forums?
I've checked the reg. value after a soft-reset and it's still set to zero but the HTC volume screen still takes over.

I'm also pissed off the HTC customizations. I want a WM6.1 Professional, not any customizations at all.
Is there a way to disable them all?

There is a way, try this CAB
If you don't like just unistall! Using it for myself.

That's excellent - it has disabled the HTC volume control on my HD. Thank you very much.

Good, but you lose the 10 step control over volume (was only available on the system volume anyway).

Nice one!
HTC volume control is not my cup of tea.

This seemed to be working fine until a soft reset when the device reverted back to the HD volume slider. Also the CAB doesn't seem to actually install anywhere. It doesn't show up in the remove programs list.

@Koffein Schluck: Thank you for this nice cab-file! I also dislike the new HTC volume control.
@Anfloyd: I don't have these problems. The cab appears in the remove programs list and I have the classic volume control after a soft reset.

works for me on the HD without problems, even after Soft Reset....

a good one
here is a good one with ring and system just installed on the latest flash touch-it 5.1
ftp://ftp.minftp.myftp.org/XperiaX1i/Touch-IT_Blackstone/Touch-IT_Blackstone_volumecontrol.cab

yet another one
This shareware app enables the WM volume and yet it extends it to be finger friendly, plus other innovative features.
Cheers

louder ring sound on internal speaker

Is there some registery tweak to make the ring sound louder ?

A few opportunities.......try Diamond tweak cab or HD tweak cab in there you find sound settings. Also Advanced configuration tools 3.3 give you these options.

Thanks Frank, I have all ready tried the Advanced configuration tools 3.3 but thats effect only on the headphones not on the internal speaker for the ringtones

Well there are two options left..... ....I definitely notice a difference...when using the Diamond or HD cabs. Unfortunately some settings disappear after a soft reset and you have to change them again......
succes

Thanks, the Diamond tweak cab works but the HD tweaks give an error.
