New Tytn Owner: some question

Hi everyone,
last week i got my new Tytn (italian version).
I'm not new in WM5 devices, my last device was a K-jam.
Now i can't remember some things that was very usefull with my K-jam, like:
1. where i can get the cab file that enables the BT icon in today(in the bottom)?
2. How i can use Mp3 as ringtone?
3. Where i can find the registry mods to enable the vibraton phone pad?
4. and also where i can get a freeware registry util?
Thanks everyone

well, I can answer a few for you:
BT Icon in Today?

go here
free registry editor?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
google "phm regedit" or install the free taskmgr located on buzzdev.net. It has a very good registry editor plus a whole lot more functionality

3. Where i can find the registry mods to enable the vibraton phone pad?

This might work...

i've downloaded the related .cab file, soft reset but nothing changed.
it doesn't work.
I also remeber that there is a third part software that also enable the vibratign pad, can someone remeber the name?

There's an application mentioned in the post I linked to above.
Check the first reply.
EDIT: Here it is... http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/d9.shtml

Yes, thanks for the link.
but i don't like the graphic of the pad. i'd like a plug-in for the existing pad or maybe something graphically better that the existing one.
thanks

BTW, did you check from the Today menu if that item was actually installed and is present, but not checked?

2. How i can use Mp3 as ringtone?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Very easy to do - slightly undocumented feature
Navigate into the \Application Data\Sounds\ folder on your phone and drop the MP3 there - it will then show up in your ringtone list
I tend to edit the mp3's down to about 30 seconds of the song I want and save them as mono and at a low bitrate so they don't take up a lot of space on the phone but you don't have to do this - just realize that if you put a bunch of MP3's on there, you'll fill up your internal storage pretty quickly if you don't, but if you just want one there it shouldn't be a big deal.

yes i know this feature.... but how i can do it to use an MP3 as SMS allert?
thanks

i have found some sounds i like now i just need to kno how to put them in the folder for sliding sounds

heres a cab that i found in a transformers sliding sound forum. just install the cab and reset. then you can just copy whatever wav file into the windows directory that you want for the sliding sounds. you just have to name them custom-in and custom-out. its real easy and you dont have to touch the registry.

ok..and what about the default sounds? i tried the slidesound app.and it played the default sound and the one that i wanted

If someone could still help me find the reg edit folder or method of "changing my own oil". There is a little pride I get from plyaing around in the reg edit especially there is the element of risk when working in it.
Thanks for the help

you'll need a registry editor, like phm, total commander, or resco, before you can do anything at all

Hey, check out the post I did a little while back. It may help...

thanks that helped

thanks that helped

Hey, Do you have to use a Registry Editor in order to change the slider sound? Or is there another option? I would also like to know if anyone here could possibly walk me through the steps. Thank You

Disable WM6 Startup Sound

I auto-soft reset my Touch at 2 am.
When the title screen for WM comes up that music wakes me up...
How do I disable the WM6 Startup Sound?
Thanks!

I found the culprit = PhoneOn.wav.
I tried deleting the Key for the .wav in HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation
but did not work.
I also tried to delete PhoneOn.wav with Total Commander but its protected from deletion in some way....aaaaargh!
Please help

I would like to no how to. I do the same thing.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled
Set it to 0 for off, 1 for on.

Are the registry edits you making actually getting written? Are you powering off the device after making the edits or just soft resetting?
Verify that the changes are made after booting by reviewing the entries again.

Slim,
I rebooted and the entry is getting written. I then soft reset and that darn music is still playing -- are you on a Touch (Vogue)??
thanks

This worked for me
This is what I just did, seems to work fine.
1) Use Total Commander to search for the registry key which contains sound_on.
or browse to
\HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA\FlightModeOnOff\Sound_on
2) Change the content of that key from "SoundOn.wav" to "silence.wav"
3) Done.
I now get a nice and quiet soft reset. I'm using the HTC Touch / Vogue.
Leon.

Sorry dude, I am using a Tilt. I pulled the reg keys from the ROM kitchen I use to build my ROM; however, I HATE the stupid startup animation and sound, so I never cook it in to my builds.
The calls for your startup animation must be somewhere else.
Try ibloo's solution...I will look around a bit and see if I can find out why those reg edits I suggested don't work for you.

This is HTC related man! Hacking and developing. Not for i200!

FOR HTC PURE,
Here is how to replace the annoying AT&T startup noise with any sound file of your own choice:
Edit the registry at following location:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
Change StartupWav to any other wav files.

Remember..
When you are making changes to the registry...
-exit the registry editor
-give it a good 10 seconds or so, then hit the power button (to blank the screen). This allows the registry settings to bake/get applied.
-Then, do a soft reset.
Else.. if you do it too quick, the changes may not apply/stick.

Hi Chemist
Found this one but what I really want is NO sound at all. How do I achieve that? Can I just remove the reference to the existing .WAV file or do I have to replace it with a .WAV that is empty, ie, no sound? If that is the case do you know where I can get hold of one or how I could make one?
Thanks in advance.

Here you go. Use this cab and it will give you no sound. For those that want to do it without a cab
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
"StartupWav"="\\Windows\\none"

How to increase earpiece sound via registry???

I have tried to search but no avail, Can someone PLEASE guide me / Navigate me about how can I increase the earpiece sound.
I am using VOIP on my Diamond, the problem is that I have to plug the earpiece to listen the next person, even though the incoming voice is still soo low, I have read some time ago on this same forum that you can increase the earpiece sound strength through the registry, BUT HOW (what key, where).
I have tried the buit-in equalizer software but that seems to only work with songs not for telephone conversation.
Any help please
Regards
Sid

hi sidd u need to go to HKCU-control panel-sound categories- in call. set initial volume to 4.......

Hi there,
I would also like to have higher volume using earpiece - although up to now I thought pressing VolUp while in call was the max one could get...
Do you have more infos about these reg-settings? In SoundCategories I have:
InCall -> InitVol = 2
InCall2 -> InitVol = 5
InCall3 -> InitVol = 4
thx

hey let those values stay the same just change in call.... dont forget to soft reset....

Is there a special version of this lite csv for diamond, or is it cross compatible with all recent devices? I'm new to Diamond.

for some reason wheni installed that audiopara file my sound went way down. i could hear on the phone ok but anything else that used the speaker wouldnt work (ie: wmplayer) i have the htc touch pro from alltel

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
