Remove clicking sounds

wm2005 is really a big step forward. However, I have a big problem with the clicking sounds when you choose a menu or an application. I wanted to remove those 2 sounds, but that's impossible since these are in Rom.
I can't find anything how to remove this hoorible clicks. I hope that someone has a suggestion.
thx

Why don't you just uncheck sounds fo "Events (warnings, system events) from the Sounds and Notifications in the Personal Settings?

I'm wondering if it's possible to change that clicking sound to another sound of my choice . . . Can any of the Tech Guru's Please Help ?

There is a way, you would have to search your device for the original sounds, back them up and override them with your own.

as long as you know the name of the sound you want to change; it's possible. for me, i changed the normal beep sound when the "G" icon comes up after a soft reset (GPRS). the name of that sound is "default". what i did was took a wav file i wanted to use, from my laptop i renamed it to "default", copied and pasted it to the windows folder of my unit. there will be a menu pop-up question saying something like "the file "default" already exists, do you want to replace it?" click ok and there you go; the default sound is different. the other built in sounds can be seen when you go to your sounds and notifications folder. example; the activesync sound can be changed by choosing from the drop down menu. these are the built in sounds; you can change the actual wav file by putting in a sound with the same name (like the one i did for the default sound). i think what you can't do is change the name of the built in sound...
hope that helps.

Yes , thank-you guys it works Gr8 . Only thing is that you need to use another file explorer like Resco etc etc if you want to replace the system sound cuz the built in Explorer won't allow it .

Sliding keyboard sound?

Is there a way to ad more sounds to "sliding keyboard open and close" sound
and if there are were to put them?

Well, the default sounds are located in \Windows and called 0_in, 0_out, etc. Dunno how to identify them or if there are any specifics needed for these files, but why not try making a new set of in/out-files in that dir?

There's also a set of registry keys & values under HKLM\Software\HTC\SlidingSound. You can add other subkeys to expand the droplist, so you don't have to modify existing entries.
Just create a new subkey and set string values:
Default -- set this to the name you want to show up in the droplist
in -- set this to the name of the wav file you want to play when closing the slider
out -- set this to the name of the wav file you want to play when opening the slider.
Once you've made these reg entries, copy the wav files to the Windows directory & cycle power to ensure the reg entries get flushed. When you power back on, you should have the new entries in the drop list and all should be well.

This is GREAT! Thanks!

Mods Can we please close this redundant thread. Thank you!

Custom Program Folders

Does anyone know of an easy way to create custom Program folders and then move applications to those folders? I want to clean up the Programs group and would prefer not to have to build me own ROM.
Thanks in advance.

total commander works fine and its free.

Thanks for the info. TotalCommander works great.

NP. Glad to help.

Hi, Is there a way in totalcommander to change the folder icon to a "fancy" one such as a "multimedia" folder with different icon?

Not easily. If the folder contains a file called "icon.lnk" that points to a particular icon within a DLL, then WM will display that icon rather than the "normal" folder icon under Start > Programs.
I've stolen the icons from Dutty's excellent ROMs, and cooked them into my little one. I've just tried to convert that into a cab that will install the icons into the Multimedia, Tools, and Apps folders under Start > Programs. I haven't tested it, and I think you'll end up with blank folders if you don't have Multimedia, Tools and Apps, but it should work!
Dutty - I know I haven't asked your permission to use your icons, so if you would rather I didn't, then please let me know and I'll delete this post and the attachment immediately. Thanks.

C'mon, man...
It's actually easier than people make it sound. All you need is a resource editor. You create your own .dll library or edit an existing one, I like to use Gconvert.
You will notice that any of the programs or folders that have "Custom Icons" have a specified path to the .exe usually followed by something like this: ?resource.dll -1001
This tells the system what library holds trhe icon & it's position within that library. You can modify existing libraries or create your own.
Just look for GConvert & PHMicon.dll (To use as a base)

I'll have to have a play around with that. I love this forum - you learn something new every day.

FUZE Ring Tone Program?

Is there a program that will allow ring tones to be used for other events? My wife can use all her ringtones to change every last person to a different tone! (not that that is TOO annoying!) but she can only use the standard tones for all the other events. Is there a program that will make them show up in the drop down menu? An I allopogize if there is some kind of term that this is all called and I did not use it to search. The searches I did use didnt show anything for this...Thank You!

yes, you can do it. you do not need any extra software to do this.
move the media (.mp3 or .wav) files to this directory and they will appear in the drop down menu:
application data\sounds
the drop down menu is the settings --> sounds menu --> notifications
it is also possible to edit the registry to have it point to a different folder when i looks for your 'tones'

You can also just copy them to \Windows\.

Lock sounds

I have been able to customize every sound for my phone except the sound when my phone locks or unlock. Has anyone found the file that needs to be modified in order to change that? I have tried to use many of the lockscreen replacement apps, but none habe satisfied what I'm looking for. TIA.

replace the unlock.ogg with whatever .ogg file you want to use inside the system/media/audio/ui folder. I used my droid.ogg for each time i unlocked the screen, but make sure its the same file name as the one your replacing or it won't work.
edit: I uploaded the droid.ogg file, just rename it to Unlock.ogg before you paste it into the system/media/audio/ui folder.
Hope this helps
be sure to unzip it first lol

I have tried to change these files with no success. What exactly is a .ogg file? Will any media file work if I change the extension to .ogg? ie: .mp3 to .ogg? Thanks

you need to convert not rename the audio files to .ogg for the phone to play specific unlock/lock sounds.
I have mine set to Ep2 Lightsaber open/close

the .ogg file is inside the .zip i attached, i just can't attach it as an actual file since XDA doesn't allow that format unless its zipped
rename droid.ogg to unlock.ogg
i've done this many times before with all the ROMs i've used and it works as long as its a Froyo rom since it was added in 2.2 for the Incredible.
.ogg is a format thats open source, playable on WinAMP, VLC, and GOM player.
if you need to convert a file that you don't have in .ogg format, use this link to upload it and convert it online.
http://media.io/
it will ask you to browse for the file you want converted, then it will ask you what format you want to convert it to
Hope that helps, if so, please click "Thanks"

I know I posted this in the other lock sounds thread, but I thought I would post it here to for those that may be watching this thread for an answer.
SUCCESS! I was actually able to use a different site using my phone. http://www.online-convert.com/
I then used root explorer to rename and copy the file into the correct system folder. Works great now. My only complaint is that it seems I can't control the volume of the lock/unlock sounds I chose using any of the volume settings. It's always on full blast unless I set to silent or vibrate. Any ideas? Thanks.

I dont think you can adjust the volume of the unlock UI notification within of the basic controls of the volume (RT/Media/Alarm). Only thing i can think of is editing the sound file to a lower volume you can use most audio editors/mixers to do that. Then convert/overwrite
2cents

SUCCESS AGAIN!! I did some research and found out you can change the system volume, which controls the lock sounds, via an app called Audio Manager. I just used the free widget version and lowered my system volume by one or two. Works great. I don't personally use the widget portion of the app. Thanks for everyone's help on this. Hope my trials help someone else find the answers they need.
