For example, when I select an option for a menu, or open a menu, to make it make a sound? I have these Metal Gear Solid audio files, for menu opening, menu 1, 2, 3, and I'd love to be able to incorporate them. I just feel like it'd be a really cool thing to have, kind of like different menu transition animations.

Try adb pull /system/app/soundback.apk
Then decompile this apk with apkmanager, and replace the .ogg audio files in /res/raw/ with your own sounds, converted to .ogg format, making sure you first optimise them with apkmanager.
Then recompile the apk, push it back to /system/app/ and on your phone, go to settings-> accessibility and enable soundback
I haven't tested that, but I see no reason at all why it wouldn't work. Enjoy!

Awesome, I'll give it a shot! This is going to be so awesome if it works!
Is it possible to just install the apk? Like I would any other apk? Or do I have to adb push? Root explorer? (I pulled soundback.apk with root explorer. Can I push it back with it too?)
Edit: Okay, so I tried it. It doesn't work. Just force closes on me. I converted .wav to .ogg, made sure they were 2 channel, about the same file size, and 44100 just like the ones in the regular soundback.apk. But still problems. Any ideas? Do I need to sign it?
Strange, as I said, cant see much reason why they wouldn't work. You could upload the sounds and I'll have a look myself, see If I can do anything.

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?

Does anyone know the registry setting that initiates this? I am trying to get it to work for Hermes and have the Sliding Sound application installed.. and it recognizes my sounds, but it doesn't initialize when i open up the keyboard or close it.. any help would be appreciated
i LOVE the transformer sound for sliding the keyboard out! and your device IS ACTUALLY transforming!!!
anyone know if this is possible in the 8525 with wm5 on it.I have the new rom update to 2.15.502.3, but i still dont see the option am i missing it? I am not sure which file its using and I am growing tired of the ding-dong. thanks in advance guys

At the screen where you set the alarm, poke the 'bell' icon on the right, it will give you a few more options, which you can get to choose your tone.
thanks i never found the drop down menu..I looked all over..!
now is it possible to add additional sounds if needed/wanted. theres only a few alarm choices and they're all not very loud to wake up to. a song would be nice maybe. any suggestions?
im curious too. can't seem to find out how to change them on my htc touch.
but of course you can add additional files, just choose the file you want and save it inside the "windows" folder, use file explorer or total commander, then check the file in the program/settings/clock & alarms settings, click the "bell" icon enjoy

Sir, I have a WM6 OS on my Wizard.
The options you specified does not exist on my unit. I just copied the wav file to the Windows folder, and awaiting advise.
Is there any torch / flashlight app where it turns the screen completely white with max backlight settings? Something like NiceLight for S60.
I've found one but it doesn't alter the screen brightness.
Many thanks
This works on the HD (but I don't use the torch much): pda.jasnapaka.com/plamp/
tried this one, and i like it, but it seems not to install. i can run it from the file, but i cant make a shortcut bescause it doesnt come up in the programs list. Anyone experience the same?
I have tried this too but the brightness intensity doesn't seem to work with the HD.

You can create a shortcut by using file explorer. Copy and then Paste shortcut into windows/start menu/programs
(please note when pasting it's easier to use "menu>edit>paste shortcut" located bottom-right)
Now you have the app in your program list to do whatever you want with it.
wired, there are to programs witch I cannot add, and both are in the filder you tell me to add to. if i put them in the programs folder-my unit programs-were other programs are, they still wont show on the list so i have to run them from file xplorer. beats me
I'm trying to understand what you're saying...
Make sure you've actually created a shortcut and not the program itself e.g. "shortcut to pLamp" and not pLamp.
Soft reset may help.
understanding now, i moved the programe. But i can only cut it and copy in that menu, it doesnt say copy shortcut, so den i cant paste the shortcut?
Probably me beeing noob so thanks for trying to help
Got it, found another folder called programs, then it worked
thank you very mutch
The "add folder" feature is quite a useful way of grouping and tydying up apps onthe home screens but, whilst it is possible to cahnge the name to say "Games" is there any options to cahnge the look away from the plain folder. In the Market there a few apps that go beyond that but I am looking to keep it simple.
I know you want to keep it simple but Folder Organizer sounds like the EXACT thing you need. I couldn't live without it now!

yes you can, open the folder you want to rename and long press on the name. and there you go.
The downside of the default folders is that you cannot modify or change the layout of the stuff inside them like folderorganize
I think I have found the solution in Apps Organisers. Allows you to add new folded with a choice icons - not just the plain folder
I found it quite difficult to live with default WinMO 6.5.3 save as/open dialog. They are too simple allowing just to acces my documents and folders one level deeper. I've found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513465, but compatible list at http://tillanosoft.com/ce/tgetfile.html doesn't include many apps I use.
I'd be able to write my own dialog, but I don't know how to hack windows, if possible, to use it instead of built-in one. So if someone know how to do it or has the solution right by hand I'd be glad.
Thanks
Edit: I've found this changer http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-file-dialog-changer-v1-66.html , but couldn't get it working also. Looks like it's for earlier version only...

it should work, when set properly.
and it works beautifully.
This is the one that I use. I think it's the same as the file dialogue changer 1.66 (Edit: it is). It's really simple to use. All it is is a control panel item. Open it up in Settings/System/File Dialogue Changer, check the box, and you're done. It was written by Houming, who also did the File Explorer Extension, that is really popular.
What means set properly? I installed it and soft reset but nothing happend. There's a shortcut to options, but I got checked button to use this dialog and no exceptions added. Still my Diamond 2 refuses to use it..
Is there a shortcut for it in the \windows\startup folder? That's all that you need. When you open it and make the selection, it creates that selection and it should work.

cpl makes shortcut in startup indeed, it's contents:
24#"ctlpnl.exe" filedlgchg 1
but it should be activated by tick in cpl..make it manually to test, if it works.
