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 to all,
I am trying to replace the file "lowbatt.wma" in the /windows folder, in order to have a different low battery sound, but the system does not permit me, neither to overwrite the file. Is there a way to do this action?
Thanks
Check this
I guess the phone wont allow you to overwrite or replace the default lowbatt alarm...since its on the ROM. If your trying to use a customized sound file....make sure its a wav file. Have you tried to just drop that file under the windows directory and then selecting it from under sounds and alerts? I believe this should work.
Good Luck.
Thank you.
The fact is that I do not find the option to change the sound of alarm low battery in the "alert/sound" menu. Where is it? I found only the one to change sound of incoming calls, incoming messages, ecc ecc.

If your using a stock phone you wouldn't be allowed to make this modification from the sounds and notifications option. What you can do then is to add this entry into the sounds and notifications drop down menu. To do tht:
1. Your going to need a registry editing software.
2. Back up your registry before proceeding ( if you havn't already done so)
3. Before you go into the registry, make sure the wav file tht you want to use as your preferred low battery alarm is placed under the windows directory.
3. Navigate to the location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
4. Create a new string value here and call it Default.
5. Set its value to Low battery warning
6. Now go sounds and notifications and under the notifcations drop down you should see the low battery warning option.
7. Select it and assign your customized wav file to the entry.
And your set! Try it out.
Good luck.
Many Thanks, worked a treat!
this might sound late, but use total commander portable

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?
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 just went back to a stock based ROM after trying out lineage OS. One of the things I miss the most is being able to browse the file system to choose a ringtone. Why does lineage OS allow me to use a file browsing app to pick a ringtone and stock does not?
The problem is that I have made a collection of sound bites. Each sound bites has three different edits depending on what the purpose is. I differentiated each edit by storing them in different folders. The file names are all the same. using an LG V20 and it just gives me a gigantic list of sound files. Cirtain file system apps allow you to do this however their functionality is limited. For example they Wouldn't let you set notification sound or ringtones for specific numbers.
actually you can select any ringtone you wanted from your file system. Only issue is u can't see the folder structure.
Go to Settings > Sound > SM1 ringtone > (or just ringtone in case if ur phone is single sim). there you will see the list of available ringtones. Yeah, u can't see ur files there. but on top right, there are 2 buttons for add and delete ringtones. When u click (+) button, it will list out all the audible files on your phone. select the file u want and set it as your ringtone.
