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,

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".
hi guys
i have a annoying problem. i cannot choose any of my mp3s as my ringtone. they are saved under /memorycard/music and on my blackstone under /my documents/ but they dont appear in the drop-down-menu (tf3d settings -> sound -> advanced -> notification)
Try the Explorer to got to the folder where your Ringtone is. Press long on the ringtone-file and there will appear a menu. In this menu it will say something like "Set as Ringtone". Select this.
(it could be that it says something else, I got the Dutch Version of the HD/BlackStone)
thx ... it worked. actually the file was just copied to "my documents/ringtones"
obviously the songs need to be stored on the phone itself ...
too bad that it doesnt work directly with sound files on the memory card
how can i set my songs in the music library as ringtones.... i cant see any option to do so.... and even in sound and display settings there is no option to set ur own song as a ringtone... can somebody tell me how to do this?
use file explorer
what you need to do is open up file explorer from your start-menu, browse the track that your after press and hold on it until the menu appears and select 'set as ringtone'
jobdone u
So I tried to make a sound file from my computer a text notification sound...
I dropped into the "Rings" folder in windows, it was a MP3 file, it showed up there and played. I went to go select it from the "Notification Sounds" but it wouldn't show up.
I later noticed all of the files were WMA, so I converted it did the same procedure and it still wouldn't show up for selection in there...
So idk what to do, I'm trying to basically make a custom text notification sound but its not showing as a selection once I drop it into the folder where the Alarm/Alert/ and Ringers are found... HELP!
I have my ringtones and notifications sounds on my sd card. I use phonealarm to select my profiles and sounds. Works great.
where'd u get the phonealarm app?
Its still on my device, if I were to put it all on my SD card would it work then? I'd rather just drop the file in there and select it from the Notification's selection, I'm just really annoyed with it right now been working at it for a while and nothing is coming up... I just want it to work finally lol.
I know it's a really late response, but if you want to change your sms alert tone, just copy the .mp3 into your 'Windows' folder on the device.
You should then be able to select it in the settings.
put them in application data\sounds folder and they will show up. thats how I have mine and it works fine.
I have all my sounds in the root of my SD card.
Figured out on the Touch HD that SMS/Reminders sounds needed to be .wav and not .mp3
Try to convert to .wav and drop it again.

Have you tried to just copy and paste it into the "Windows" folder? Not any of the sub-folders...
I have migrated from Samsung,where I could set any sound of my choice as ring alarm and msg tones.But now only ring and msg tones can be set from media folder of external sd card.There is no option to set custom tones for alarms.Can anybody guide me in this regard?
Install ES file explorer and then you can select any audio file through it, just go in the usual sound settings and click on ES file when prompted
Can't you create a folder called Alarms on phone memory and put them in there?

hi
i have es file explorer installed (and also solid for a try) but when i try to set custom i can't select the file explorer like i can when i want to set the ringtone or notify instead!
i create alarms dir, but no canche!
i also check the permission for clock app and seems ok.
with the previous moto x play (that is broken now) i'm able to select es file explore and set my song, but not now.
do you have any other solutions?? i hate oxygen tone!
tanks!

Go to settings > apps > show system (three dots in top right corner) > media storage > open by default > clear defaults.
Looks like if you dump it under [internal storage]/media/audio/alarms (an old-shool location from before Android 4.0), and then rescan storage (e.g. with the help of the SD Scanner app), the Clock app will pick up on alarms stored there. (Tried with my Moto X Style, which should be similar enough software wise.) You might note that the Facebook Messenger app drops its Silent tone next to this folder, under [internal storage]/media/audio/ringtones.
An alternative is to open the file in ES File Explorer (or the Pro version), open the file in ES Media Player (or the Pro version), and then from the three-dot menu, choose "Set ringtone", then "Set alarm". Someone made a video on YouTube of this technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9L2ArNuTRk
(I preferred the former, as it let me set alarm tones for multiple alarms differently, and preserves the standard user experience.)

This didn't work for me on Android 6.0.1. Looks like the Clock app may not use the standard intent to pick tones.
Simply install ringtone maker apk from play store
ringdroid or zedge app.with zedge i set a nokia 3310 ringtone and i am very happy of this!
