1) get some new wavs
2) get a trial of resco explorer(great if you already own one)
3) rename the wavs as ..
*0_in.wav & 0_out.wav
4) over-write the Existing 0_in.wav & 0_out.wav present in windows directory

Win Mobile Start Up Sound Question...?

I Have A Tmobile Wing, I Have Already Changed The Splash Screen But I Know It Has To Be A Way To Change The Startup Sound Just Like I Changed The Splash Screen. What File Format Does It Have To Be In And What Do I Call It? Also If There A Size Limit On The Sound Byte?

anybody??

look for a sound called startup or some thing like this in \windows folder..or u can use Audio Boot ( a s/w)

Change Start-up Sound
First you have to have a Registry program like Resco.
Find or create a .wav file and copy it into your windows directory with whatever name you want, just remember exactly what you called it.
Open your Registry program and got to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
HTC
Startup Animation
The bottom two should be Volumn and WAVfile
If there is already something there just change the string to your file name. If nothing there you will have to add as follows.
Choose WAVfile Name = Wavfile and string = \Windows\yourfilenamehere.wav
Choose Volumen Dword data =4555 and Base= dec
Click Done and Exit Perform soft reset and watch and listen. I'm no Pro, but that should be correct. Let me know.
Edit- I double checked the setup in my device TILT and this is what I had.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"Volumn"=dword:000003E8
"WAVFile"="\Windows\YourFileNameHere.wav"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"GIFFile"="\Windows\animated.gif"
"Priority"=dword:000000C8

worked great, thanks. also i say the tmobile startup wall paper, i can change that the same exact way i changed my splash screen and just edit the registry value correct?

T-Mobile Start screen
If you are refering to the very first Boot screen then NO. You have to flash that with RUU like you do a ROM. The animated.gif file and the
welcomehead.96.png are easily done. You just have to name them as above and use Resco File Explorer to drop into Windows directory and overwrite the original file. If you want to keep the old file and not overwrite just rename it by adding a "2" after the file name that way you know which one is which. That way you can just rename it again to the original if you want to put it back. Glad to actually help someone, Kevin

Been experimenting a bit with this as well...
Works all fine but I just don't understand the "Volumn" registry value. On my Hermes, it was set to 9 by default, giving a pretty loud startup sound. On my Kaiser I set it to 4555 now before I could even hear it, and still it's pretty silent. Both are running WM 6.1.
Any logic behind this? (except maybe that a Kaiser isn't a Hermes )

You can use Schap's adv config, didn't work for me on my Touch, maybe it will work for you. But, I manually changed the sound. It's either startup.wav or silent.wav.

Works half now
Some sounds are played okay, but I tried the Diamond startup sound and that one just makes a strange noise instead of the real sound... Works fine when playing it in Media Player
I'll just keep messing with it some more

HTC TOUCH change lowbatt sound

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

I can do better than that. I can point you to the cab I made of the relevant changes so all you need to do is install this one file!

Great job, but do tell if the video call button would come back or not if I uninstall the Cab file.
If not how can we bring it back if and when I want to

This freeware program is a great alternative. Includes a reset to default command.

i got a kinda similiar problem..except i wanna change my left soft key which now says TODAY SCREEN to watever da the default was..i think it was PHONE on my tf3d home screen..the reason it says TODAY SCREEN was after i uninstalled the phone alarm cab i was left wit dat..now i cant figure out how to change it back..i tried da fantasticbytes softkey manager didnt change anything..so if anyone can help or point me to right link link..really appreciate it..thanx

Can someone give me the registry path, so I can choose witch programma I like to map?
I have the new 2.03 ROM installed but want to change the dailer softkeys.
Thanks

You would have to find out a way to edit the DLL from post #4.
Unlike the softkeys from the homescreen the softkey on the dialer work totally different.

I didn't realise we were talking about the dialer when I posted above!
You can change the Left Softkey to the default contacts application (iContact BE on my phone) by setting the following registry DWORD to 1:
HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\LSKContact
Cab file attached (my first ever)

Also, you can drop this file in your Windows dir. Just overwrite the original with Total Commander or Resco.

What does this DLL do?
Now I have standard Windows Contacts or Pocket Informant, but I want iContact set as default contact button. This because in the phonepad I can't switch to second phone number when using smartdail...

That registry key is allready set to 1, but I can't get iContact to start...
What does your cab file do?

It just sets that one registry value, changing the left soft key of the dialer to "Contacts".
This launches the default contacts application - normally pOutlook but it should be iContact if you have installed it.

I installed the new iContact 0.9 and now it is default contact manager
Thanks

tp2 slider sound

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?
