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 .

How to change Folder views in WM OS

I've really made an effort to search the net for my answer and have had no luck. Whenever I open a folder and have files in them (text, etc), the default view is icons. I want to change the view to "list" just as in the reg WinXP OS. Total Commander and other like programs do this but when I open the regular Program folder or one of my own through Start Menu, the folder opens with Icons and text. Thanx.

Certain folders have seperate views, just make sure when you see the view you don't want, you change it. Also, be sure to close (X) out properly to save the setting.

Customising Start Icons

Hi all, Im sorry if this has been covered before but ive been looking for an app that allows me to move,delete,place in folder icons that are in the start menu (The one that comes up when you press the start button on the phone). I have apps that are all over the place and would like to reorganize them if possible.

hello.
I just reach to this aplication on the HD2 that could work for us too.
as I am new I can not put the whole link sorry

Looks like a great program but its not what im looking for....i want a program that allows me to rearrange my programs shortcuts under the start menu and the app provided only allows me to change the icons of the apps..thanx thou
Still looking for an App to do the above please

Have you tried your file explorer to cut and paste the shortcuts to wherever you want. You can add folders and rename them to put apps of a specific type into too if you want.

Ive had a look previously and there is no one repository that the shortcuts live, and i`d image that windows would arrange them by name if could find them which doesnt give me the option i want..
What i want to do is say move the facebook app which is at the bottom of the list and put it about half way up under all the system shortcuts or in a custom folder. The only option the rom gives is "more to top" or "move to bottom".
I hope im making sense.

If you are using WM 6.1 or 6.5, the shortcuts are in \Windows\Start Menu.
Perhaps you are referring to the Manila/Sense program tab are you? If yes, then you should be able to add/remove these from one of the soft keys.
Perhaps you can give us a screenshot of the programs you are referring to....

Hi there sorry for the delay...ive attached the screenshot as per your request.....
So what im wanting to be able to do is re-arrange any icon in the menu so like games to where marketplace is for example
Is this possible?

Hi
I don't understanding something
Is simple drag and drop method not working for you?
Longpress icon until it popsup, drag there you want, release finger.

i cant drag and drop, i think this is a limitation on the rom which is v2.1. The only option i have is to move the icon to the top as shown in the screenshot. All i want to be able to do is move one shortcut to somewhere else in the same menu... aka in the order i want. Im sure someone would have asked this before and that there would be an App that would allow a user to customize this menu.

Try this.

Thanx heaps i1ll give a go now and report bk...much appreciated

What rom are you using? If its a 6.5 you can use the drag and drop method described earlier to rearrange start meu icons.
Otherwise they are in this location: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
To create specific folders to move shortcuts to, would look like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Media]
"Name"="Media"
"Group"=dword:00000001
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Media.png"
... where "Name" is the name of the folder, "Icon" is the picture that will represent the folder on the start menu, and "Group"=1 tells windows that this is a folder. Once you have created all the folders you want you can use your file explorer to drag and drop the shortcuts into whatever folder you want

Thanx so much "artukas613" that program was exactly what i was looking for.....worked a treat. Thank you to all who helped.

Notification sounds ??

Can you add your own notification sounds, and if so, where do they go ?
And what format ?
Thanks .......

Nevermind, found it ........

I'm in the same boat. I know where the menu option is for changing notifications, but none of my personal audio files are on the list. I do have mp3s and wavs in a "ringtones" directory of the sd and they do show up as choices for changing ringtones but not notifications.
If you "found it" can you please post the location and format information for notification tones.

Personalizing notification tones for specific applications is usually done through the application. For example; if you want a different notification for text messages then go to your text messaging application and use the menu to change options within the application.
You can go as far as to set a different notification for each email account. You must go to the desired account and access the settings menu for that specific account. From there you can change the notification sound.

Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification ringtone
These can be in mp3 format. I personally use the Ringdroid app to create them.

if you're asking where the files should be placed on your phone, I put all mine in "/sdcard/media/audio" and there are specific spots for "alarms" "notifications" and "ringtones"

Thank you so much, i wasnt has that path on my phone, so i´ve create it now and i really have my custom tones on my notification menu sounds.

Custom Notification Tones/Sms Tones

I dont know if this has been posted before, If it has then my bad I just thought of this method.
1st. Go on the market and download a free app called " Zedge "
2nd. Open Zedge and select " Notifacation Sounds "
3rd. Select a random one because we are going to replace it. (I selected Law And Order) you will see a arrow down near the bottom press that and it will download
4th. Close Zedge and connect usb to computer " Mass Storage "
5th. Navigate to " zedge\notification_sounds "
6th. In the folder you should see a mp3 file, in my case its called "Law And Order_1.mp3" Depending on what tone u downloaded on zedge your file name might be different.
7th. Now copy the file name in " zedge\notification_sounds " and replace the name of the mp3 you made with the name of the mp3 in " zedge\notification_sounds ".
EXAMPLE: Txt tone.mp3 changed to Law And Order_1.mp3
8th. Drag and drop the tone u just renamed into " zedge\notification_sounds "
Select Copy/Replace
9th. Disconnect the phone and go into Settings/Sounds/Notification ringtone
10th. When you select Notification ringtones you will get a pop up saying Android System or Zedge ringtones. Choose Zedge ringtones
DO NOT CHECK "Use by default for this action"
11th. Lastly select the file name and press "Set Ringtone"
In my case I selected "Law And Order"

I usually just place whatever sound file I want on the internal SD in an existing folder called Media> Audio> Ringtones (or Notifications). Then it will always show up in Settings> Sounds> Phone Ringtone.
Or am I missing something?

I use handcent sms, Like zedge it gives you the option to choose it in settings/sounds/ringtones or notification, with that you can choose music anywhere on your phone, it's all there in one list, no file swapping.

Zedge is actually easier to use than that.
After you find the one you want, tap on his and there will be a down arrow (download). Once downloaded, the arrow turns into a cicle which you can tap on to set as w/e you like. Same process for the wallpaper

Yes, that is if you want to use the sound you actually downloaded, the post is about swapping out the sound to something else...

You know what- I never thought about it until now that you mentioned it...I think the file was a remnant of an old backup I did to the EXT SD one time and it never got cleaned out. Funny that it was accidental find.
That explains why I was having dupe ringtone issues a while back. *facepalm* lol

I'm pretty sure stock ROMs (at least Eclair) don't let you change the text tone for yourself. I remember looking a few thousand times to no avail before I flashed Andromeda. From then on, I've been able to use any tone on my SD card.

I use Whoisit for the same thing, an all around great ringtone manager that sets a different tone for each persons sms, mms, email, and call plus VIP section so set people will ring through even if the phone is on silent. Not to mention it covers FB status, Scheduling profiles, wifi on of with profile. plus setting the stock ringtones and notifications to anything you want.
