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!

This is a cab i made... all you have to do is place custom-in and custom-out.wav in the /windows folder for your own custom sounds..

works great took some time but it worked.
if your still lost i can try to help you out mind you i have the at&t tilt don't know if its different directory between phones...

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

sliding sound

hi,
i've just recently purchased the S710. I have been playing around with it to see if i could customize it. I've been trying to change one specific thing and have had no success.
Could anyone tell me how to change the sound for the slider to a specific mp3 file? or even wave! i've went into the phones folders and couldn't seem to find the location. I've found the ringtones but no success for the sliding sounds!
Thanks in advance!!!
Fab

Look in to \Windows in hidden files for
1_in.xxx
1_out.xxx
2_in.xxx
2_out.xxx
3_in.xxx
3_out.xxx
where .xxx is a extension I don`t remember (maybe .mp3 or .wav)
That`s your sliding sounds. Just overwrite 2 of this and you will hear changes in Sound Settings.
Good luck.

You can also always play around with the registry using a software such as
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
and modify the location of the Sliding* registry values (located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Sounds) to point to the correct sound file you want.

Thanks!
Just wanted to say thanks!
If anyone else is looking into this, i haven't tried replacing the files!
all i've done is to mimic the files that they had for sliding and used the registry editor to select these files!
in other words,
i made 3 different instances of the same file, renamed them as follows:
21.wav
21_in.wav
21_out.wav
(.mp3 didn't seem to work for me)
once that was done i went into the registry location pointed in the previous post, entered the file name. Exit regedit.
From that point everything worked out great!

volume Control skin

Hi,
I've been working on changeing the colors to the Volume Crontrols, but with a bad result!
Can anyone please upload the original "HTCVolumeControl.png" from the Windows folder.
No funny comments please ;-)
Or does anyoune have a nice set of colors to the volume Controls? I can only finde it for the THD, but not for the TD2 in VGA.
Thanks...

Here you go the original file...

Thanks a lot ;-)

These work on my Diamond 2. Credit to the person who created them (I can't remember).

Thanks again - it's guys like you that keeps this site alive!

Ignore the language, that is not set in the download but from your system.

Shout!
I realy made a total mess of my volume control when i tried to put some color on it. Now it looks like the attached screenshot - very small, and i can't get i back to normal.
Any ideas about what to do?

perhaps you have change a dll or something from a smaller unit (QVGA?)
I've themed mine without any problem. What I do is just use Fireworks... cut out whatever button I want to edit, paste it into a new image, edit it, cut/paste it over the original.
With the small size I think a setting was off or again, a dll file was replaced.

Okay, i got i fixed now ;-)
The problem was the the skin files was for QVGA and not VGA - as "Player911" mentioned.
So i changed the porpotion of the 3 files som they matched the VGA resolution.
To change the S2U2 volume controls:
1) Close S2U2 using the "iLock2" app
2) Unzip the attached files
3) Copy them to Progam Files\S2U2\gfx and overwrite
Now you have green Wolume Control's if you use S2U2 volume control.

[TUTORIAL] Making and using your own analogue clocks for Co0kie’s HT (pre v2.0)

Creating your clock image
Step one:
Creating your image
Using Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks, or a similar image editing application, create your clock.
Your image must be:
• PNG file type;
• 256 x 256 pixels; and
• have a transparent background
Step two:
Converting your image into a QTC manila file
Download Mode9 Editor from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464984
When you open Mode9 Editor for the first time, you will be asked to enter the directory you will have specific files in. Use the help guide/manual that comes with the download to help you through this step.
Once you have Mode9Editor open, click on the ‘open’ icon (top left toolbar) and open your clock PNG image.
Now click on the little icon, above the image preview, that looks like a little disk with a ‘Q’ in it.
Save the new file as:
20F62884_manila
Copy your new clock file to your phone or storage card.
How to use your new clock image
Step one:
Backup, backup, backup
Using Resco Explorer, Total Commander or something similar, go to (on your phone):
Device – Windows
Copy the following file:
20F62884_manila
Save a copy of this file somewhere safe.
This is your backup in the event that you wish to return to Co0kie’s original analogue clock.
Step two:
Installing your new clock
Copy your new clock file:
20F62884_manila
Using Resco Explorer, Total Commander or something similar, paste the new clock file to:
Device – Windows
You will be prompted to overwrite the original file. Say ‘yes’ (don’t panic, remember, you have a backup)
Step three:
Restart Sense
A soft reset of the device is not necessary; however this will refresh Sense if this is your preferred method.
Alternatively, you can turn Sense off by going to:
Settings (tab) – Menu – All settings – Today – Items (tab) - untick ‘HTC Sense’ - ok
Then, restart Sense by going to:
Today – Items (tab) - tick ‘HTC Sense’ – ok
OR
Another way to restart Sense is to do as follows:
• Open CHTEditor
• Make a minor setting change
• Go menu - apply changes
• DO NOT EXIT
• No go and undo the change you just applied (unless you want to keep it )
• Go menu - apply changes
• Exit
Sense will restart.

Great job....
Thanks for your sharing.....

You're welcome.
I hope it is clear enough. Be sure to let me know if I have missed something out or could change something to make it clearer.

I have also found it to be quicker to restart sense by going into the Cookie Home Tab Editor and applying a new lockscreen (select apply changes) and then reverting (without exiting, and again applying changes), and then exit the editor. This will restart sense without you having to wait for it to turn off, and then waiting again for it to turn back on. Without a tool that does it automatically, this is the fastest method I have found for restarting sense (and I use it all the time for applying analog clocks in particular).

Another good option.
I like this one. In fact it should work with any change made in CHTEditor. Just make the chang, apply it, undo the change, apply and exit.
Thanks for the feedback. I shall add the option to the first post

And yeah - I should've mentioned you could do it with just about any setting. Some of them though can have unintended consequences. For example, changing the number of quick link screens and then changing them back seems to rearrange quicklinks.

How bout the hands? When you mentioned saving the image as png I was thinking you are referring to just the clock face right?

Click to expand...

Yes indeedy. The instructions above are for the clockface only; however, if you would like to have a go at making the hands, it is much the same process. The files you need to make, and their respective sizes are as follows:
HTML:
20F62884_manila - background - 256x256
0AB9C3F4_manila - hour hand - 16x256
4BDFBA48_manila - minute hand - 16x256
2A87D392_manila - second hand - 16x256
7126E342_manila - clock dot - 32x32

My fastest way for Sense reset - RestartManila.exe. I found this exe somewhere in this forum - thanks to the unknown creator. The cab will create a shortcut in windows/start menu. I made then a quicklink.

Hello
So i test it to make a own clock with some templates found on the Forum.
But after i copied the file in my Windows folder and restart manila i can only see the hands and second hand.
What did i wrong.
My way.
Open mod9--->open my png clock (256x256 and transperent)--->Save it as manila file--->Copie to my storage card--->copie with total commander in my Windows folder and overwrite the one that exist--->Softreset.
Pls help.

How can I make files for hands wider than 16 x 256, so for instance 32 x 256 or 128 x 256?

Make a png picture with the width of your choice (f.e. 32 x 256 or 128 x 256). For the correct rotation point you have to place the hand in the same way in the middle like in a 16x256 file. Then import this picture in the right manila file (I use CFC Gui). This will automatically change the picture in the manila file to the new size.
For other settings in 7c60907d_manila see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6368698&postcount=32

By my take on the above process you have done everything correctly.
I am, of course, assuming that you have Co0kies HTC installed!
The only thing I can think of is that you may have misnamed the manila file. Double check and ensure that the clockface file name is 20F62884_manila

Resizing clocks
is there an easy way to increase the size of one of the clocks I downloaded here? From the links in your clock list thread I found lechux's Hero clock. I really like the HTC one but it's too small! How can I resize it up by 25%?

The only way really is to recreate the clock.
You could try converting the manila file back to PNG, then increasing the image and seeing if you lose much resolution. If you get a reasonable result, then it's a matter of saving the new PNG and converting back into manila.
Of course, if you do all this you should credit the original developer.
Also keep in mind that if you create a bigger clockface, and the one you're interested in comes with hands, then the hands will need to be recreated to fit the new size.

Customization for Endkey Basic8
Here are the steps to make your own Endkey Basic8
1- Download "Basic8 Cutomization Kit"
DOWNLOAD BASIC8 CUSTOMIZATION KIT​2- In the end you will need 10 icons and 4 background images. These are the axis points (refers to upper left hand corner) and sizes of each icon that I used for this. Follow these exactly and your skin will be perfect!
Code:
x0, y0 0,41 w, h 240, 144
x1, y1 240,41 w, h 240, 144
x2, y2 0,185 w, 480, h 144
x3, y3 0, 329 w, h 240, 144
x4, y4 240, 329 w, h 240, 144
x5, y5 0, 473 w, 480, h 144
x6, y6 0, 617 w, h 240, 144
x7, y7 240, 617 w, h 240, 144
You will end up with the following "icons"(as brn files):
Code:
x0 = wifi.brn
x1 = shutdown.brn
x2 = reboot.brn
x3 = comm.brn
x4 = sense.brn
x5 = lock.brn AND vibrate.brn
x6 = boot.brn
x7 - nodata.brn AND phone.brn
You will also need the following "backgrounds":
Code:
lock_nodata.brn
lock_phone.brn
vibrate_nodata.brn
vibrate_phone.brn
3- See below for more specifics on how to make changes for your theme.
4- Copy your new theme to anywhere on your phone/ storage card. Tap upper right corner and go through the prompts (just make sure to find your new .zip!) If you care to share your theme, I will post it for others to use.

Editing your EndKey- the Fundamentals​-------------------------------
Introduction:
If you like the above mod/ skin but want to put your own twist on it, this is a simple process - but it takes a little work. Below are the following instructions (written out in looooong detail.) Note: these instructions are not unique to my modification, rather they work on any endkey / action screen.
-------------------------------
Overview:
To edit the endkey, whether changing a program or changing the background, will require 1) edit some graphics and 2) edit the registry (and 3- make a .cab if you want to share! But that is another conversation...)
-------------------------------
Prep Work- Tools:
1- You need a graphics editor - (photoshop, gimp, etc.)
--> I use paint.net (all of my examples are in .pdn files from paint.net)
2- You need a registry editor (either on your phone and your computer - but both is best!)
--> Phone: I use Total Commander
--> Computer: I use CeRegEditor
(3- You will need a simple .cab maker --> I use QuickCab 2.0 - as it is free!)
-------------------------------
Back-up :
Before you begin, backup your registry in case you need it later.
1- Install CeRegEditor to your computer
2- Connect phone via usb and activesync
3- Open CeRegEditor (as administrator)
4- Navigate to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\EndKeyScreen]
5- Go to "Edit" -> Export and export all (keep somewhere safe!)
(if you screw up the registry, you can import this and be back to normal!)
-------------------------------
Editing the Graphics:
Goal: Say you want to change the background or the icon in you EndKey. Unfortunately, if you change one you need to change both! (You'll see what I mean...)
Prep Work:
For this section you will need:
1- Your graphics editor
2- brnconverter.exe (in the attached kit below)
1- Designing the Background
This is the fun part. Figure out how you want it to look. The background image is what you see when you hold down the EndKey. It contains the background image with all of your "icons" on it. This is one image.
--> For my project I started with an idea and a blank "canvas" of 480x800 pix. Then I started adding color, etc. It can look like anything. This is my background (all 1 bmp):
--> Note: Simply lay out the icons that you will "press" in an organized fashion. Keep in mind where they are located and keep them lined up the way you want.
--> When you are done with your design (save often) you need to have a final copy in .bmp format.
--> I have included my raw background (basic5.pdn) in the kit below so you can see how I laid out everything.
2- Designing the Icons
This is what you press to get your desired program to launch. This is a tad trickier.
2a- Taking your background image, "cut out" a piece of it that you want to be "active" (the entire area will start your program when you press it.) The larger the icon, the easier to push. However, the icons cannot overlap. For example, say I cut out the following chunk for my wifi:
Now, this entire area will startup my desired program when I hit it. Here is a colored "map" of what my icons look like when I cut them out - I used bold colors so you could see all the different "pieces" on one canvas. Each piece, when pressed, will launch its respective program.
NOTE: Very important-- you need to write down a couple of things:
X-axis- you need the x-axis point of the upper left corner
y-axis- you need the y-axis point of the upper left corner
width- you need the exact width
height- you need the exact height
--> you will input these data later. If you are off, when you "click" on the icon, the icon will shift and not line up as you wish.
2b- Edit the image when you tap this area you know you hit it. What I did was add in a second layer and fade it out so the overall product looks darker than what is seen on the background image. You can do anything (heck, change colors, add stars, give a thumbs-up sign...)
--> Again, for the final product, you will need a .bmp file.
--> I included my settingsbasic.pdn in addition to all my bmps in the kit so you can see how I did this.
3- Converting bmp to brn
Easy. Place the program "brnconverter.exe" (found in the kit) in your folder with your .bmp images. Open it. Drag your bmp files onto it and it will conver them for you.
--> The brn files are the ones you will be putting on your phone. NOT the bmps.
-------------------------------
Editing the Registry:
Goal: Say that in the above modification you want to change out the wifi option to bootloader. You need to change the registry to load your desired .exe.
1- Understanding the Endkey Registry
Using any registry editor navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\EndKeyScreen\]
--> You will see the following string values and folders. Here are their definitions (of the ones you will edit):
BaseImage --> "\Windows\basic5.brn" --> refers to your background you designed previously. Mine is called "basic5.brn" (without the quotes) and is located in the windows folder. You can place it anywhere as long as this points to it (say, \Windows\Endkey\basic5.brn - meaning it is in a folder "Endkey" that is in the "Windows" folder...make sense?)
Column --> How many you have. Kurt has 1. I have 2.
Row --> How many you have. Kurt has 7 (well 9 kinda) and I have 3.
APP_0 --> refers to the 1st (upper left program - for me this is "wifi")
APP_1 --> refers to the 2nd (upper middle or upper right - for me this is "shut down")
APP_2 --> refers to the 3rd program (can be upper right, can be 2nd row, all depends - for me this is "soft reboot")
APP_3 --> you get the idea, this is the next program. For me this is "comm manager"
APP_4...(and so on) --> for me this is "sense reboot"
With in each APP you will find:
Path --> this is simply the full address of where your .exe program is located (more on this to come)
Param --> needed with some .exe (like for wifi)
IconPressPath --> Where you "Icon" is located that you designed previously
xPos --> x-axis point of the upper left corner of your icon
yPos --> y-axis point of the upper left corner of your icon
Width --> width of your icon
Height --> height of your icon
Note: If you want to add APP keys (say have 24 programs, and not 5) this is fine. But you will need to change the rows / columns to reflext your layout!
2- Identifying and Locating your Program
Locate the .exe of the program you want to have (in our case - bootloader2.exe)
--> Note: this can be any .exe (on your computer or storage card)
2a- Find out the location of the .exe - in our case that will be: \Windows\bootloader2.exe
2b- Say you want to find a location of an exe on you storage card, but don't know what it is. Use the registry editor navigate to: \Windows\Start
Menu\Programs and hold down on your desire program. Click on properties. Click on Shortcut- this gives you the address. Write this down (without the quotes)- this is the location of the .exe.
3- Redirecting your APP_* Path
Now you are ready to redirect the Endkey APP Path to your desired program. Using your registry editor, navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\EndKeyScreen\APP_0]
--> Note: the 1st application (always in the upper left corner) is APP_0.
--> Open up the string "Path" - you will notice it now shows: \Windows\JMLComm.exe
--> Change this to: \Windows\bootloader.exe
--> Now you will need to delete the contents of "Param" - which should say "wifi" - just delete it
--> Now this selection of the Endkey will load "bootloader"!
4- Redirecting your background image and icons
So the program is changed but now to change your background. Easy to do.
4a- Background
Go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\EndKeyScreen\BaseImage]
--> Change the name to your brn image you made earlier
4b- Icon:
Go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\EndKeyScreen\APP_*]
Change the following dwords to match what you wrote down previously:
IconPressPath
xPos
yPos
Width
Height
Exit out. Soft reboot. Check it out...is it working??? If so, Congrats! You have done it! Go and enjoy you new Endkey!!! If not, go through the steps again and if that fails, post your problem!

nevermind....

Introduction:
I use my Endkey on a daily basis. However, I use only a part of many of the multiple options. I wanted bigger images and more specific choices. So I skinned my own EndKey - named Endkey_basic5. This is simply a skin based on the work of Kurt and Johcos. I am no means a graphics guy, but wanted to share for one reason - to show that you can change up the design and have images both larger and staggered (non-linear). If you like what you see, but want some changes please see post 2 for instructions (not finished, but in the works).
Image:
From Left-Right, Top-Bottom: Wifi, Shut-down, Reboot (green center), Communications Manager and Sense Reboot​
Installation:
1- Download and install kurt-willems' End-key! v4.5 (or, though not tested, this should work just fine with johcos' v4.5 too.)
--> Complete the installation (including a soft reboot)
2- Download and install Endkey_basic5
Removal:
If you tried this mod out and it isn't for you, uninstalling is easy.
--> Simply uninstall the Endkey_basic5.cab
--> You will return to having Kurt's (or Johcos') Endkey
Thank Yous:
Johcos - for making the EndKey easy to manipulate.
kurt-willems - for a great template and inspiration.
BT73 - for his Making your Action Screen thread.
Iconspedia - where I found all of the icons used in this mod.
If you enjoy this modification, donate to Johocos or Kurt. Let's be honest, how boring would our Endkeys be without them?!
Feedback always appreciated! Enjoy!

I say, keep the 5 you have and add bootloader!!! That would be really cool. using johcos endkey action screen, dinik screened, but always looking for new stuff!
And since when are you not a graphics guy? half of my skins are from you!!!!
edit: A tutorial on how to do this would be awesome!

glad you like my skins! i am simply a 1-trick pony -- copy and paste. ha! adding in an additional option (making it 6) is possible, but would require some time i don't have right now. not difficult, but time. as i wrote above will swap out one for bootloader (less time)....besides if i add one, it won't be Basic5 now will it! ha!

cool thanks

Nice creation sir;
You see what other peoples inspiration can give us.
It gives a hole new sens on the End-Key.
Well done.

looks good, much easier on the eye than the classic list view.......
nice work man

wow...glad you guys like it. feels good to hear that from you guys! thanks!

I add your creation on my Thread on post #3 "Themes create by users" so that peoples can see directly your creation.
Ps; If you will, I make a new cab fore you in the next week so that it is a stand alone application and users don't need to install 2 separated cabs. (All options integrated)
Not that it border me; it's a pleasure when peoples use/download my work; But if there are a lot peoples like me that don't like to install multiple cabs fore one application it will be nicer to have all in one.
What do you think?
PS+ I send you a PM about your other project, will also do that next week.

Nice to see our minds are open and new creations will born.

would love to, and originally had been working on an anastasia style one and got sidetracked by what you see...however, now time is not a friend of mine. starting a new aspect in my job tomorrow and will be having much less time to dedicate to this. if i get some time, have some ideas (e.g. Basic8 / Basic11 options) and would incorporate other icon styles...but will see!
thanks for the support!
on a different note....post 2 has a "how to" on making this kind of mod. very long-winded...i apologize. but hopefully it does the job...

Just a helping hand.
Good evening jsmccabe78 and other users.
Like promised I have made a standalone version from your End-Key. So now peoples don't need to install my version before thy can use your version. Not that it border me that people download my version and than use your skin; but if we are honest it's useless to install 2 cabs if it can be one.
Ow I also integrated the two different version in one cab. "Basic5 and Basic5_bootloader" are one now.
fore change between this two versions click on the right top corner of your screen, fore open the wizard. Also people can choose if thy will have the End-Key permanent loaded in memory. And select if thy will a confirmation dialog for Bootloader, SoftReset and Shutdown.
Also a shortcut to the End-Key is integrated. Standard location is /Programs
Installation instructions:
- Download the cab
- Press on the cab fore installation; Notice Installation path must be Internal Memory.
- Do a soft reset.
PS; jsmccabe78 If you don't like it communicate it to me, and I will remove it.
I only tray to collaborate.
PS to all other users. This isn't my creation; the hole skin is from jsmccabe78 so the credits are fore him!!! don't forget.
And have fun.

Looks pretty nice, specially the big buttons, fingerfriendly, thanks for this app.
