Okay, I've searched through the registry and \windows folder and cannot find the startup noise that is played after a soft reset, when the system is loading.
It's very loud and would like to get rid of it. I do have my "system" sounds turned off e.g. "Events" and it doesn't help.
Try here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Varnish\DialLookupPlugin\PhoneStatus

Nope. I saw that one too.
That's for turning the phone (radio) on/off and then it shows you that Carrier logo splash screen.
I need when WM5 boots up...
In fact, I can't even find the sound file that is playing when it boots. I thought it was "notify.wav" but that's not it.
You'd think it would be here:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\SystemStart\Sound
But \SystemStart\Sound doesn't exist and I can't find anything similar.
Really baffling (and yes, I know I could just throw the vibrate switch on, but not at 4 am when I do a sched. reset!).
Found it - Disable Startup Sound Treo 700wx
I, too, have been searching for this one. The problem isn't technically when restarting the Treo 700wx, it actually had to do with the device realizing that an SD card has been inserted (which it happens to do at startup).
Here's the registry key:
HKCU\\ControlPanel\Volume\SDInsertSound\File
This was set to "Alarm1.wav", I changed it to "No Sound.mid" (a blank sound file).
Enjoy!

M2DC
Just tried the M2DC theme manager on 7.3 Std, with a renamed .zip file to .m2dct file (specifically the KnobiSkin from the M2D skin thread).
First time, it locked up. M2DC continued with spinning icon until I forced a reboot. Touchflo was off after reboot, and after enabling it everything appeared to be the same.
Second attempt, I disabled Touchflo from today before applying the new theme. Got the "Applying Theme" prompt. After M2DC closed, I reactivated touchflow and new theme was applied.
Simple instruction for use of M2DC Themes on OTP 7.3:
Find a skin you like, download the zip file (not the cab),
Rename file to .m2dct,
Copy new file to the themes directory of the M2DC install directory,
Disable touchflo in Today settings
Start M2DC,
Go to themes tab (the first time it will back up the default theme),
Click the new theme then apply,
Restart touchflo.
Alternate for creating themes from skin CABs:
Run M2DC first, let it make the DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct file, Close M2DC.
Run the CAB skin of choice.
Rename DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct to OriginalTheme.m2dct (or anything else with same extension).
Rerun M2DC. It will detect no DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct and will ask to back up again. Let it make new backup. Close M2DC.
Rename new file to the name of the new theme.
Repeat for each skin CAB you wish to convert to m2dc theme file.
Note: The M2DCT files can be large (over 3Mb, 660 files backed up). Best to do this only if M2DC is installed on a large Storage card.
Note 2: Several times M2DC appeared to freeze when applying or backing up themes. It looks like it has problems if touchflo is not off prior to running. It does try to deactivate touchFlo then reactivate when done, but it doesn't appear to work flawlessly yet. It is better to deactivate the Today plugin before running M2DC on this ROM build.
Note 3: New mods to theme support in M2DC released today (Sept 30)

EVERYTHING else is easily fixable.
FAQ 3
Saving space for updates.
Using 7.3.1
1) Activesync is always on. Even after turning it off it restarts in background after some time.
2) Battery status icon on home page always shows full. Had to install a third party battery meter to show correct status.
Since this thread popped up i guess the issues i have that are notable.
1. activesync always re-opens im aware of a reg change that is possible to stop this but haven't been able to find it yet.
2. that back button when calling is REALLY annoying lol, someone needs to get/find a fix for that.
3. battery bars are inaccurate, i used one of the first things kidnamedalbert suggested and it works, until i soft reset the phone then it doesnt.
4. weather back round was first not alligned correctly, but it fixed itself after an install and uninstall of the feng shui theme.
5. still completely usable and i love this rom a lot
The fix that I have done:
* Using vistahide for battery status. Remove the today screen battery status icon using Schaps advance configurator.
What I can't fix:
* Half of backspace button is shown on call status screen. However if I lose the signal (happens very often in my apt ), the backspace button does not show.
Customizations, which may be useful for a few:
* Install vjbrisk to redirect calendar to thumbcal. After installation, rename vjbrisk.exe to calendar.exe, and rename a thumcal shortcut to vjtarget.lnk, then post the new calendar.exe and vjtarget.lnk in the \windows folder to redirect calendar to thumbcal.
* Reinstall newest google maps to main memory. It simply works after reinstallation.
my issue is when u flip the phone when its on the home screen it doesnt fit and it always goes back to portrait mode
I am having the landscape problem also, if it does flip to landscape it is cut off. Most the time it won't even flip!
I am having a problem with the Device lock, after a reboot the device lock works fine but once i unlock it...i can not lock it again. Which sucks because if i try to take it out of the belt clip when i am getting a call it always pushes the call to voicemail!
I was just about to search for these issues when i seen this new post. I'm going to search now...maybe someone from here will be in that search with the answers =)

Thats the thing i do try it manually, when i click on the Device Lock the phone beeps so i know i hit it but it never locks. I have tried using the shortcut under Accessories, tried putting a shortcut under Programs, I even went into the Windows folder and clicked Devicelock.exe. All of them do the same. i think it just might be corrupt. Can you up your devicelock.exe from your Windows folder?

you can't even get the device to lock by holding the end key? also where do i put the vistahide exe so i can launch it from the program launcher. i don't really want it to start on startup.
dude i mean by holding the end key! sorry for not being clear enough.
yeah that always happens to me. and i solve by holding end key and unlocking and DeviceLock works again

The Same! With Version 7.3.1
And:
If I direct via Startmenu e.g. to the accessories folder and then want to go back, it sometimes happens, that it needs some minutes to show all Icons or hangs up!
PSShutXP doesn't safe the settings for an automatic reset!
And last:
If I want to add something to Programs Tab I have to press 2 times on the "+" Symbol on the button. the first time only the wait Symbol appears and fanishes, but nothing happens!
The same with adding weather and Contact

Heres an issue, when using a headset for music when you go to audio booster to try to change settings on the equalizer you CANT check the "On" Button. This was a problem with the STD version as well and thought that it was fixed in this release(OTP v7.3.1 TouchFlo 2D Final ) and it still isnt . Is my headset not compatible or is this just a bug with the software?

have you tried updating google maps to main device? have you run the network wizard? also which version are you using?
Battery Bar!!
anyone notice that the battery bar doesnt go down even though it's like 50% already?
I installed WM6.5 to my Fuze and it now has the black HTC logo on startup, then skips the AT&T animation, and shows the orange Windows screen.
Now, I don't want the AT&T one back but I downloaded the default HTC start-up GIF and WAV files for the Kaiser, and I want to use them on my Fuze. The problem is, under HKLM/Software/HTC/StartupAnimation, there is nothing there. And I don't know the first thing about recreating what should be in there.
Any ideas?
Assuming that you put "default HTC start-up GIF and WAV files for the Kaiser" in the correct place, then find/search for FUZE Tweak application (or TouchPRO or Diamond tweak, whatever people call) to re-enable it. It is located in 12.1 and 12.2 in the mentioned app menu.
Thanks
I had that app when my Fuze had WM6.1, can't believe I didn't remember it.
I'll see if it works, they should be in the right place.
Thanks, I installed it and enabled but still nothing happened. I think it's because normally it would have DWORDS and strings in that folder, and the Diamond Tweak app would know what to change, but on my phone, there is nothing in that folder. So the tweak app doesn't have anything to change.
In that case, does anyone care to post what is in the StartupAnimation folder on their Raphael?
Will disabling the start-up animations make the boot-up faster?
I actually don't particularly care if it makes it faster or not. I just want my phone to be silent on boot-up instead of the "chime" tone that happens right now.
How do I disable the start-up animations?
I have a Vouge running Vin's 6.5.1 ROM 23071
Easiest way is with Schap's Advanced Config.
Is there another More simple way ? for the HD2 (Leo)
Can just do it via REG:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
"StartupWav"="\\Windows\\silent.wav"
The phone wont be any faster to boot without the animation
Have attached a .cab that will do the above reg and place silent.wav in Win Dir "not sure if all ROMs have it"
Find it funny that using the new HTC Animation it says quietly brilliant yet it plays noise kinda contradictory.
The boot animation is just something to fill the void while booting

Does anyone know how to do the angry gps thingy? I couldn't find it in the forums
Android kicks apples ass.. Infused 2.1.0
Tips and answers to common questions:
1) Animations are disabled by default. Enable them by going to Settings > Display > Animation and selecting "All Animations". If you don't do this, you won't see the CRT screen off animation!
2) If your GPS isn't locking, try this: Go to the phone app and dial *#*#3214789650#*#*. The Angry GPS configuration app will open. Clear GPS data and back out. It may help to reboot after doing that as well.
3) If the power widget isn't working and shows no icons, simply toggling something like GPS in the notification pulldown will fix it. This doesn't seem to be something I caused, but rather a bug in the Rogers shipping ROM. I believe a lot of Galaxy S Gingerbread builds have this problem as well, so it's a Samsung trademark.
