HELP Need a registry hack to removing camera sound - HD2 General

I have a HD2 with a official telstra customized ROM which doesn't have the option to turn off the camera shutter sound. Is there a registry hack to remove/disable this sound?

It is not needed. The camera app itself has this feature. Check the advanced options section 3

I don't know the details of Telstra ROM, but maybe you can overwrite the shutter sound file (By using Resco Explorer) with a silent one with the same name. Just a thought..

It's worth a try. I have replaced the ShutterSound.wav file with a silent file with the same name but it still makes the shutter noise when taking pictures. Why?

soft reset?

hmm, a quick search for 'shutter' in ceregistryeditor (i recommend it) turns up a few keys in
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\sytem\pictures\camera\oem
entries like forceshuttersound, and shuttersoundvolume look interesting, try fiddling with them.

Check TG01 threads
I used to have a TG01 and there was no option to remove the shutter sound but through replacing the shuttersound audio file the problem was solved. There are a couple of ways to do it and I do not remember the exact way. Try checking the TG01 forum here or check http://www.modaco.com/content/toshiba-tg01-tg01-modaco-com/291997/remove-shutter-sound/ they were the first ones to support the TG01 and all hacks that go along with it.

I have replaced both values with 0. But still no luck, I also noticed that the shuttersound in the registry is linked to /windows/shuttersound.wav which I have already replaced with a silent file. So how is it possible for it to still make the noise?

Why would they take that sound option out of the rom???? Just flash another normal rom on....

It is a legal requirement in more than a few countries that there had to be a sound when taking pictures. It's so you can't take sneaky pictures without someone's permissions, ie changing rooms...

GPS Photo/Footprint

After owning my Jade for 4 months I've just found the GPS Photo feature!
I tried using it and after the GPS receiver switched on, I took a couple of photos. I can't see any difference to the regular pics. I see that a new folder called My POI has been created within My Documents on the SD card and the pictures are there but they are just JPEG files, without any GPS information that I can see. If I open the photo and click Properties it just gives the usual info Size, Date etc.
Am I missing something and how different is this to the Footprint app now available elsewhere on the forum?
Thanks,
Woolly.

It´s a tweak that enable the camera to take geotaged photos.
There are many posts on the Forum about it but in the Jade SubForum you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498238 (post 2).
Actualy in my jade only work's if I launch a GPS program before starting the camera.

This registry setting work ok on my Jade!
If I select this camera mode gps stars quickly (10 sec) and can take photos that is saved at My documents/My POI
This photos are like normal photos but have geotag inside file. Now at PC (I think have installed PhotoME program too) I can right-click mouse on file photo and have an option to open google maps at point where photo was taken!
Wonderfull!

In deed! It's an art, but if you read my last post, you would found that your comment is outdated...
Sorry for that.
Well, try to soft reset and then go to camera, press the touchscreen, choose the camera icon in the middle of the buttom. then a 6 buttons menu comes up, the 3rd one in the 2nd row should me "more" or something like that. and then you you will reach the gps picture option.
sorry, i cant provide you screenshots, as i am waiting for my new memory card (which is in the post already, but as tomorrow its a national holiday.... argh!)
enjoy!
That's ok
Now I have the GPS Photo option.
I'm going to the outside to test it, in the house I can't get GPS signal.
Thanks

Ok
It's working, but first I need to start myu GPS program. Without this step the camera stops waiting for GPS signal.
I don't know if waiting more time it will work, but with GPS program everything is more quick.
Withe PhotoMe, you can go directly to the photo spot in Google Maps.
myu GPS? Is the QuickGPS-Data up2date? This might help...

Well...for my experience you could wait...and wait...and wait because nothing happens, the camera stops in the starting GPS screen. My theory is that with some ROM languages it doesn't work, but I would like to know why.

Maybe you have another GPS-prog installed? If so, check if the GPS-settings in this program are on "use windows config" or "manual". Would recommend "use windows config", so the settings dont get messed up...

Disable wake up on new SMS

Is it possible to disable phone wake up when a new message comes in? I want wake up to be enabled when a call is coming, but not for text messages. I think there are some "scripts" in the registry to control the ringing-behaviour and these involve wake up. Is it possible to modify this setting specifically for SMS/MMS?

How to disable hd2 bootup sound

Hi .. bro
How to disable hd2 bootup sound in new rom 1.66
thank you...
Please change the terrible title of this thread to something appropriate. When you edit, you need to "go advanced".
Attached is a cab that removes the hideous HTC bootup sound
Thanks to Shawn_230 for the original version that I simply modified with a streamlined wave file.
thanks a lot for this helpful file
can we make it with CeRegEditor ?
Yes, but it leaves the wav file on the device, which takes up space. Just use the cab, or delete the file.
oki john !
thx

Interesting.
You could always set the registry value to that of a file that you do want to play at startup. That should do the trick.
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\StartupWav

Just a word of advice... You'll need quotes around the filename, if it has any spaces in it, or it won't work.
\Storage card\StartupSound.wav will read as \Storage and stop at the space.
You'd need "\Storage card\StartupSound.wav"

no luck so far but i missed out the first \ so maybe thats the reason lol

It probably does. And I'd imagine it probably has to be the correct format of wav file (sample rate, bit depth, channels).
Can you post the original one here for me? I've deleted it with my cab, so I can't have a look at it. Actually, can you do that and the transformers sound you want to use?
ok i've managed to change the .gif on startup
cant seem to get the original sound off my device
edit http://www.moviesoundclips.net/sound.php?id=111
thats the transformers sound clip (its 7th from the bottom.)

Ah don't worry about it. It was just a thought. It would be nice to be able to implement some kind of software changer for this new "feature" they've added. I don't think it's that wise though since the thing stutters anyway!
Sorry mate. I've had a play about and can get wav files to play at startup, but they all sound really bad. The stutter in playback makes all of them useless, and you need to leave a gap at the beginning or it misses the first part of the sound, and it just stops abruptly so you've only got a set amount of time for anything to play.
The whole bootup sound thing just isn't working right. It's not worth persuing until HTC sort it (if they bother).
I've attached the transformers sound you linked, so you can try it yourself, but I doubt you'll like the result.
Thank you..
Transformer sound bite, they missed the best one:
"Hey! That Hurt!"
"It's supposed to hurt! It's an ass kicking!"

Disable startup sound in new roms?

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?
thanks in advance!

Cheers John.
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

Enabling N

So, ROM 2.10 allowed for the following tweak:

2.13 has locked this in the registry! Any thoughts? I want this back!!!

Still exists in the latest build in 2.13 that I have, but I am running a custom ROM....
Yeah, the key still exists for me too, but it states that I do not have rights to change the parameter! Is that possible or do I need a new regedititor?
I am using "Mobileregistryeditor."
Have you tried just using BSB Tweaks, that allows you to turn on N.
To be honest with you (and this may sound crazy here), but I am always leery of installing Cabs. I would rather know the registry tweak and do it manually so I can undo it later if I don't like it!

Here's a tip: you can always see the registry edit and and any other changes a cab is going to make, before you install/run it.
Just put a copy of the cab file on your PC desktop, then click to open it, it will open just like a .zip file. Inside you will see a file called "setup.xml", drag that to your desktop and click to open it. It will pull up a browser window/tab, and show you the full set of instructions in that cab, including names and locations of file installs, as well as reg key changes.

To the poster who noted faster drain, everything I have read states that it actually drains less for some reason when this is enabled.
Why? I dunno!
