[Solved] need to get an alternative tapres.dll to work in WM6

Hi, I need some help here:
I have tried extracting tapres.dll from several WM6 releases.
However, they never seem to be correctly rebuild after dumping the ROMs.
Does anyone know a way to get hold of a Working tapres.dll (from WM6 !!!) ?
I have tried dumping rom's with itsme tools (viewimgfsf, rebuild module etc..), but the resources from the file are VERY strange..
I need this file because I am writing a new program to build dailerskins, But I want to resize the dailerbuttons.
Solved:
Raceit pointed me to the resource file:
tapres.dll.0409.mui
This one needs to be edited!!
Am working on it.
Thanks Raceit !!!
The problem now is in how to make WM6 to use the new tapres2.dll (and MUI file)
edit
Had to write a new dll, but succeeded:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297530

I got this with viewimgfs.exe as well so I'm not sure it will be of any help to you. This is from the Orwells ROM.

Thanks, too bad I got the same results:
There are no dialogs to be edited..
So it's not (yet) possible to have a big button dailer.

I understand this is about the dialer, but for some reason my WM6 dialer wokrs fine, i can change the background and button graphics, however when i am prompted to enter my SIM pin code the number pad has the nasty white background and pink buttons etc... (as if there is no skin).
What .dll controls the dialpad and sim pin pad?! Could i be missing some graphics files?!?

Been a while since I messed with sim-pin pad..
Out of memory I believe that:
The background is created by cmdpad_land.gif cmdpad_port.gif (and square, but this is not used on wizard).
And the buttons are the NmBtnDn_Land.bmp and other nmbtb**etc** bmps.
[ for convenience I attached those ]

thanks sir, i added the graphics to the \windows folder but still no joy (im running on the hermes btw). could my .dll that refers to it have been corrupted?!

It sounds like an image problem. I'd uninstall any dialer skin you have running to get the default stuff back if you can. If that doesn't work try this. It's the same as the-equinoxe posted, but there are a few more files. (No offense the-equinoxe) Just trying to help. This should get all the dialer buttons and images back to normal.

LOL! i REALLY appreciate the help people but still no luck! :s could i have corrupted a .dll or registry value when the ROM was cooked?

I only posted the pin-pad images (out of memory, didn't find my notes), and left the dailerpad images out.

Could be, what changes have you performed while cooking the ROM?
Did you edit the grafics for the dailerpad while cooking of afterwards?

I've got same problem. I think that's a sort of TMobile skin and not a file missing problem.
All began after i installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34670&d=1172649654

The file you refer to is the smart dialer, and installing it without a skin gives the same result as my sim-pin pad has. but LOL yer it does look like a T-mobile skin. Just install a skin and it will work ok.

Well the first ROM worked fine, the black WM6 dialer and pin-pad looked the same, by copying the files from this post into the windows folder the colours and graphics for both the dialer and pin-pad were changed?!? (as desired)
But after the ROM change the pin-pad is white with no buttons. adding the files again to windows only changes the dialer. :s
AFAIK nothing has been done to the dialer skin, however it may have been changed by accident!? Which is why Im wondering which .dlls and reg values effect these?!

SOLVED
Raceit pointed me to the resource file:
tapres.dll.0409.mui

Thanks Raceit !!!

Could you explain how to fix that skinning problem?

I am testing/working on it @ this moment..
All looks promissing but please be patient, don't want to rush out a release.
Only difference with the eten/paulyA skins is you edit another file, some regkeys are differrent, and the smartdail is build into the same resource.
Will build a test-skin (based on the Eten-grey Light I build for WM5), and do some test.
I will also build my findings in the WM6 dailerskin-builder program I am working on.
This one is still in the early development fase, and not all screens have been skinned.
Status:
-editing NEW resource Had to write my own dll, Done
-Dailer portrait Done
-Dailer landscape Done
-Call in progress portrait In progress
-Call in progress landscape In progress
-Button templates In progress
This program will be WM6 WWE QVGA only, but I will probably add some other languages once those are released.
Attached:
-a screenshot from the skinbuilder (although I am thinking to change the layout, because the troubles I have with switching to landscape and control-placement)..
Clicking on the screen will let you select the background picture
You can choose the buttonset (here used "test" ) with the dropdown menu.
You can change the transparancy of the buttonset with the slider.
And build a cab by clicking a button..

Sorry i didn't wanna bother you. I'll wait. Absolutely no probs...

Still having troubles applying the new tapres.dll
Replacing the XIP based tapres.dll crashes the dailer..
Then I tried to use the tapres.dll (plus MUI) as skin
So I renamed the dll and Mui to tapres2
and edited the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"IcoFil"="tapres2.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"ext"="tapres2.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"RESDLL"="tapres2.dll"
To no avail, still the old tapres.dll takes over
What am I missing??
EDIT:
OK I had to build a new dll.
Started from scratch, but now I have Big Buttons and Smartdailing Working
New thread is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297530

Classic Reading.
I think MrVanx would also like to see this one back someday.
I even remember myself finding out that there needed to be a phcanXXXETC.dll and a specific registry key to get a skinned unluck screen.
I'm closing the thread, but will never remove this.

HTC Audio Manager OEM Package VGA version !!! FINAL !!!

Here it is the HTC Audio Manager from the HTC Touch in VGA (meaning: It works fullscreen on the HTC Universal)
version: final (no bugs so far)
Here you can download the OEM package
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/HTC_Touch_2_VGA/HTC_Audio_ManVGA_v3_OEM.rar
Thanks and greetings to deepred who is the hero of the day, because he showed me some missing bits in my thoughst about the resizing.

for some reason, the ftp speed is absolutely horrid.
about 4KBps (!!!)
when i finish downloading i'll try fixing the images (no promises though)...

dah, i forgot i had just formatted my computer and i don't have anything installed yet.
have you tried resizing with different resizing methods? (ie. percise billinear, bicubic....)

could you post it on say rapidshare (don't know if posting it here will be right)

Done.
http://rapidshare.com/files/37802131/HTC_Audio_ManVGA_v2_xda_WIP.rar.html

has you resized the images???
i downloaded the file from the rapidshare link....and i see png's which are 640x44 background is something like 480x514....
is this the right size or do i double this up?

no, its the same file ivan posted.
i couldn't resize it properly.
the app works, but the icons have a pink border around them, thats all.

I tried to resize them with irfanview (i know it isn't the smartest method, but i am not a very skilled person regarding image manipulation.
Oh and regarding the resizing, only thge images in the png_qvga folder need to be resized, all otherimages were resized correctly.

I think I did it. Run irfanview, press B (stands for batch), load files from png_qvga. Select new output directory, Work As: batch conversion, output format PNG, use advanced options checked. Then select following format options: save transparent color, compression level 6 (default). You can play with compression level, but 6 worked for me (pictures became smaller ~1KB). Advanced options: unselect everything except DPI, set it to 192.
P.S. Forgot to say, that it will ask you for transparent color. Select magenta on each picture.

Hm, pretty cool app. Much easier to handle with fingers than with stylus. I think it supports AVRPC, just tested with Nokia HS-12W. No song name, but buttons are fully functional.

Thanks i will try it.

Thanks to deepred it works now completely.
Upload location in the first post.

Nice work deepred.

Why does the palm tell me it's impossbile to open the file 'cause of certificate ?

OEM
Thank you Ivan!
Can you do the Java too?
Maybe thank you again
Leo

How can i install this? I tried to copy the files into Windows folder, but the app won´t start.
I´m using the Darkforce Rom in German.

CAB
I made a cab-file out of v3:
http://rapidshare.com/files/38129024/Audio-Manager.CAB
It works for me, I hope that it works by you too.

how do you know this is the final?, also considering this is VGA do you believe it will work on the htc hermes or not display right?

crap i installed this on the hermes and now its HUGE on the screen.. lol.
anyways build is v1.02 b515.718

*Updated 11/13/07 10:11 PM* BETA TESTERS NEEDED! Official 318 WM6

This Kitchen has built in AT&T customize on first install and on HR, if you don't need it just remove the OEMOPERATORS FOLDER from the OEM Folder.
This build contains SYS and ROM in "Part #1" and OEM packages in "Part #2"
This Kitchen is so complete I had to break into 2 parts. Download and extract both parts and put all files and folders into one directory to use.
I am not responsible if you don't know what you are doing and brick your phone, but in the spirit of XDA-Developers I am sure someone here willing to help!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Latest SYS and ROM (part1) Ver8.1.0
Latest OEM Packages (part2) Ver8.1.0
Version Information:
ALL "call home" issues have been castrated! No more Customer feedback.
SDHS Memory should be full supported now! Seems to have always been present in the Official MS Wizard ROM.
All Phone issues resolved! Use the proper radio for your carrier and phone.
Wifi Issues resolved! Automatically connect to preferred networks.
Connect to Internet Via Active Sync.
For Clarification:
1) This is the original InGeNeTiCs' ROM all I did in this Version is strip out the "call home" stuff, added a few dlls that were missing but were needed for some of the HTC/touch apps (these files can be found in sys/missing files).
2) There are two OEMOPERATORS folders, one in OEM and one in SYS the one in OEM is one I put there as a example of how you can add your own cab files for settings, splash screen or whatever it is you need simply edit the config.txt file and put whatever files in the files you need. *I am not going to to into great detail how to do this all it takes is a little common since. You can delete mine if you like.
3) There are no hidden, super secret, xda-elite only, make my Wizard fly, bull**** tweaks included. just a clean, won't leave a bad taste in your mouth unless you burn it, Kitchen.
4) My only reason for creating this kitchen is to prove that the "InGeNeTiCs'- Official Microsoft-Made Specifically for the Wizard-Drivers and all ROM" is as solid and stable as any other ROM or kitchen out there if done right. Other than all I did is create and add a lot of OEM packages so you could have choices in life.
The base is like Coca-Cola "Original".
Everything works as it should the only limitations are M$ related!
This has been a fun ride but the ride seems to have come to an end.
This release is so stable that I can not bear to call it a beta anymore.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all that have contributed to this project. In the end I'm sure we all wanted WM6 but we wanted a stable version that didn't crash, lock up, and just plain ol' worked!
Credits to the ones that made the tools to make this possible: faria, anichillus, bepe and mattk_r for asking me to take the plunge.
The testers, who without their reports this would not have been possible:
Russ741, calouro, masr1979, shadezero, monkey_knight, nothin, epimazzo, afoldats, Tony Simmonds, charly_mx, Cing 8125, jorge_culv, 13rick, fix_it_2000, RevAtB, amsatnetg, hiazle, ANTC, pencilcase, xeno1, 4irm and all the others.

hi
can i bea beta tester can you send me the liknk to download

First Thoughts.....
This ROM looks to be more stable than the last one, and also I see that the reboot slowdown issue is non-existent.(It would slow down horribly on the 3rd-or-so reboot/SR) Overall, faster.
HTC AudioManager + Recorder are NOT working, but maybe that's just a package issue (I used one of my packages I had lying around). Pretty much that's it.
Wi-Fi is OK, nothing major. No phone issues as of yet.
I did not test the Home Plugin because I used my 6-tab plug. That works quite well.App Launching is a little bit faster, or maybe that would just be me
Word completion works,KB is fine (tested in Notes)
I would give it a 9.5/10 (only because of no Touch camera ,otherwise, it rocks!)

Thanks for your input!

Audio manager package that is in OEM that was included in this build is reworked for this kitchen and works fine. Recorder is in process still.
Do you know of a working 4. camera package or one in a pre-built Wizard ROM?
Do you have a Home Plugin OEM to incorporated?

This works with the included *cities.xml file. The PNGs are compressed to increase speed. Works fine. It's in color.
Got AM working (my mistake, used a wrong package) but VoiceRec is still offline. Not that I use it all that much.
I think I have a bug : you need to have WMP installed to get AM working.
EDIT: New package with "Pro" icons added.

Remove clock and put battery indicator on top instead (if you press & hold it will bring up power/battery tab).
Add day and date to touch home plug-in you can change it to display as you like:
dddd will give you day of week as a word as in "Thursday", dd will give you date style (numeric day of the month) as in "30" without quotes of course.
The same is true for month mmmm and year yyyy so experiment!

HTC WMP today plug in
I added a bunch of packages to the kitchen and have de-bugged most of them, this one I can't find. During the OS Build the process errors out at "OEM\HTC WMP Today Plug-in" with a dialog that says "The file 'temp\dump\WmpPluginToday.dll' already exists. Know I know this is telling me that a previous package has used this dll flile, what I can't find is which one it is!
Any input greatly appriciated.

HTC X-Button 1.5 offers nothing more over 1.0. 1.0 works fine with this ROM ver 5.0 (I use it)
But, if you really want it ,try mattk's package.

Ok, I already took both the 1.5 ver out of OEM. Now its complaining about sys/touchflo.dll.
edit; NOob error... left both touchflo and non-touchflo enabled in the build... fixed.
Have you built with the NON-TouchFlo dll selected?

1st flash test report
Ok,
So I got the build to run with Merlin's help (thank you Sir). Flashed back to T-Mobile 2.26, up to IPL/SPL 3.08 and GSM 2.69.11 then the kitchen build.
First the good news:
1. For the first time in a dozen or so ROMs I have flashed Voice Command workes flawlessly! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
2. Basic functions work good, no glaring errors.
3. As theloon noted, the backlight controls will not lock the wizard.
The bad news:
1. If I attempt to launch any CAB file (including the 2.69 radio fix) I get a message saying "CAB failed to load"
2. see #3 above, it doesnt lock the wizard, it however will not open backlight control either. recommend taking this out of the launcher and just leave it in the settings page.
3. HTC Audio manager, if I attempt to open any audio file I immediatly get a message saying "critically low on system memory..." WMP still works fine.
4. The dastardly weather application doenst like the XML file i built for it. I wish there was a way to test that without building. (see questions below)
5. I used merlin's 6 button HTC home plug in, looks very nice BTW, couldnt do much testing on it since my contacts DB is at work. My only negative on this one, the musical note icon (far right) is very hard to see. I dont know who did the icon art but perhaps we could find a better icon?
6. I tried loading the AT&T extended ROM as part of this build, bad idea. The flash gets to 5% and crashes... took it out, flashes fine.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to test the weather XML file without building it into the ROM? IE: If i build the the ROM with the weather XML file included in the build I can only edit it. I cant delete, replace etc. So I was thinking that if I took it out of the build and put the file in after, maybe I could speed up testing.
2. Several of the packages dont seem to have any output, IE: the WMP home plug in, I dont see anything on the home screen that relates to WMP?
So there it is, I have to re-flash to a fully working ROM before I go to work tomorrow. I will be on line all day (from my office) so post away..
thanks Loon for letting me test this, great fun!

LOL? I think not dear Senior Member... I have tried every possible way to delete that file, stop the plug included. The file properties say "included in ROM" and will not allow changes to file prop. Thats why I asked about building without it, so the file properties would allow changes.

Ok,
So I got the build to run with Merlin's help (thank you Sir). Flashed back to T-Mobile 2.26, up to IPL/SPL 3.08 and GSM 2.69.11 then the kitchen build.
First the good news:
1. For the first time in a dozen or so ROMs I have flashed Voice Command workes flawlessly! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
2. Basic functions work good, no glaring errors.
3. As theloon noted, the backlight controls will not lock the wizard.
The bad news:
1. If I attempt to launch any CAB file (including the 2.69 radio fix) I get a message saying "CAB failed to load"
2. see #3 above, it doesn't lock the wizard, it however will not open backlight control either. recommend taking this out of the launcher and just leave it in the settings page.
3. HTC Audio manager, if I attempt to open any audio file I immediatly get a message saying "critically low on system memory..." WMP still works fine.
4. The dastardly weather application doenst like the XML file i built for it. I wish there was a way to test that without building. (see questions below)
5. I used merlin's 6 button HTC home plug in, looks very nice BTW, couldnt do much testing on it since my contacts DB is at work. My only negative on this one, the musical note icon (far right) is very hard to see. I dont know who did the icon art but perhaps we could find a better icon?
6. I tried loading the AT&T extended ROM as part of this build, bad idea. The flash gets to 5% and crashes... took it out, flashes fine.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to test the weather XML file without building it into the ROM? IE: If i build the the ROM with the weather XML file included in the build I can only edit it. I cant delete, replace etc. So I was thinking that if I took it out of the build and put the file in after, maybe I could speed up testing.
2. Several of the packages dont seem to have any output, IE: the WMP home plug in, I dont see anything on the home screen that relates to WMP?
So there it is, I have to re-flash to a fully working ROM before I go to work tomorrow. I will be on line all day (from my office) so post away..
thanks Loon for letting me test this, great fun!

What I can deduce from your observations all/most of your "hanging" problems seem to stem from the final size when you build your ROM.
I have experienced this myself, the max size for a wizard rom is around 56 MB for the ROM, but that does not include Boot loaders, Radio and Extended ROM.
In my case my phone is locked so the "customize" just uses storage/program space and does some reg tweaks.
If you want more space in your build you can use the compression tools located elsewhere in this forum.
As for the Home Plug weather XML make sure it's attributes are not set to "read only" and you should be able to exchange them at will and SR to test there usability.
My HTC Audio Manager works flawlessly not sure what you did! be careful using other OEM packages, the ones I included in this beta were designed and tested to work with this beta.
FYI HTC Audio Manager was built using Windows Media SDK so it uses components of WMP (dlls and such), I will probably move those components to different directories.
Backlight is a matter of a redirect/link.
Feel free to fix any/all issues and post for everyone to test!!!

Comm manager settings and S730 list style

Thanx to Dr. Martin Gonzo in this thread, we can now set the comm manager to the new HTC style!
Dr. Martin Gonzo said:
Here you go. Here is what I changed to it : it is the commmanager from HTC s730, I changed the skin, added vibrate option, created an icon for it and removed some other fonctions I don't use.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instructions:
Download the comm manager zip below and unpack the files into the windows folder.
the 2 things to change/add in the registry are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
"DisableButtonText"=dword:3 (sets the list-style comm manager)
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:6 (sets 6 buttons)
another thing: If you want to have the vibrate button instead of the directpush button in the list, simply rename in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager the folders 6 and 4
Good luck!

Additional info about comm manager:
in this Hermes thread ppl are discussing about the various comm manager options.
I'll copy them here and add some:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager]
"TurnOffPhoneDelay"=dword:0 ----> 0(delay) or 1(No Delay)
"DoNotQueryGPRS"=dword:0 ------>0 or 1 (Not sure what it does, defaulted to 0)
"UseMSFlightMode"=dword:0 ------> 0 or 1 Self Explaination
"TurnOnWLANInFlightMode"=dword:0 ------> 0 or 1(Flightmode Off will turn on WLAN together with Phone and Bluetooth)
"TextColor"=dword:0 -----> 0(white) or 1(Base Hue Color)
"EmptyMenuBar"=dword:0 ------>0(MenuEnabled) or 1(Menu Disabled)
"DefaultScheme"="" -------->use with DinamicBGImage
"SecondBMPResource"="" -------->Use with DinamicBGImage
"DynamicBGImage"=dword:0 ----> 0(static BG) or 1(Dynamic BG) Have not try this yet
"TurnOffAUTDInFlightMode"=dword:0 ----> 0 or 1 self explaination(AUTD is Push Email)
"UseBluetoothCPL"=dword:1 (Not sure what is does, defaulted to 1)
"DisableButtonText"=dword:3 (sets the list-style comm manager, set to 0 for button-style)
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:6 (sets 6 buttons)
So: play around with it and share which ones work on the Vox!

And here is the original skin !

It 's not work with me,
Could you please kindly provide the 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 directories important informations?
I think it's something wrong about this.
Thanks please,
I meant the Data Communication bar is not come up, but I got ActiveSync instead.

I think the best is you just export the whole Comm Manager key and upload it here. Thank you again
EDIT:
Stupid question, I already have it:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]

I think the CommManager.exe.040C.mui as I had two other CommManager.exe.0407.mui and CommManager.exe.0409.mui. It is not working here. Any ideas?

@frauhottelman:
you publish the wrong registrydump:
-the SupportedFunctions must be 6 instead of 5
-in the folders 4, 5 and 6 you have 3x vibrate. If you want to see Vibrate, put it as 4 and make 5 DataDisconnection and 6 AUTD
- what is exactly your question about the mui?
@mobile24h:
- I don't understand your question. Don't you see the new comm at all or are you speaking about 1 specific line in the comm manager?

I know the vibrating thing, but that is the registry dump which i got from Dr. Martin Gonzo, I changed that already. The thing is I think mobile24h has the same problem, the Comm manager shows up, but it is the old design from the S710 now with only 6 buttons! That is all that shows up and it is stupid, because the soft keys don't work and the icon bar on top with battery and so on doesn't show up!

try playing around with the "DisableButtonText"=dword:3 function. Change it to 0, 1, 2, 4 etc. I have the ARA 1.27 rom, and it works perfect for me. The setting 0 is the classic version for me, and 3 the new one.
Just use a taskmanager to kill the commmanager proces, and start it again after just adjusted the setting to see the results!
good luck, let me know if this helped!
ps, which language ru using? Mine is english, so the mui is 0409

Mh I tried from 0-5 but it didn't change anything. I am using German, but I tried with US and UK English as well. Maybe the old ROM I am using 1.16.407.1 doesn't support it?!

Hey could you upload the commManager.exe from Windows? Maybe that changed with the new rom!?

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I copy the files to the windows directory. I'm not able to overwrite some files. (They are in use...)
Thanks in advance for the help.

You have to stop the processes which use these files. E.g. if you want to overwrite something that is used by the CommManager.exe, you have to kill that process.

I am closer now, the problem is that the CommManager.exe and CommManagerRes.dll are hidden and I didn't copy them. But now the problem is that it doesn't show text like Bluetooth or Wifi
YEAH
It finally works!!!!!!!!

Here I made a package without hidden files. Just kill CommManager.exe, copy contents of windows folder to your phone's windows folder and overwrite all. Then apply CommManager.reg. Done

thank you or cleaning my messy work !

could someone post polish mui file for this comm manager? (with 415 number in filename)

Hm I don't think anybody has, but you can change the MUI yourself. Just rename it to the right number and open with notepad. There you should see some weired stuff and then things like S e t t i n g s i think when you just change all of them to polish it should work?! Would you try that and then report back if it works?

You should rather use a resource hacker program instead of notepad. That's what I did and it works. Search for reshack or XN Resource Editor in Google

ok I've translated almoust everything but in english mui file there are some french words, if someone could translate it to english I would be grateful
Words:
"Désactiver toutes les connections"
"Désactiver radio" - Is that mean the same as "Turn off phone"?
"Relancer les connections"

All registry tweak for sms

Hi All!
I'm looking for all options for sms in the phone registry.
Some Reg tweak for sms sounds???
My problem: when i get a text message, it cames without sound, even if every setting is ON for sounds.
I'm using 2.53.479.3 WWE HTC (02/01/10) ROM with radio 4.49.25.91.
Can anybody help me? I don't know what's the problem, it seems just for me...

When you choose your sounds does play when you hit the play button?
Seems like it would be a sound file issue.

Yes it plays, when i hit the play button. Play every sample and mp3s, but when i receive an sms...there's no sound...

...and this problem only for receiving sms... every other notification sound (alarm, email, etc..) works perfectly. I dont want to do a Hard Reset...

Here is the SMS reg key.
You can either modify this key and install it or open to view the path in your registry.

Thanks, i'll try it!

Bruce Inman, thanks for sharing. I tried your solution but it didn't work for me. Could you please explain all the edits in the registry:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
@="Message: New message"
"AvailableOptions"=dword:00000000
"Duration"=dword:00000005
"Options"=dword:00000003
"Wave"="\\Windows\\SMS.wav"
"SMS.wav" - what do you mean by that? I don't have this file in my Windows folder...
Please, need the solution to this problem desperately. Thanks in advance.

Didn't work for me either

You will need to change the WAVE file in the registry to whatever .wav file you have.
I was just supplying the reg settings for you to confirm your own.

Bruce Inman, I changed my path to \Windows\Rings\Alarm-VeryHigh.wav, but still no sound, nothing, only the green LED. There still might be an error somewhere...

Try putting the file directly into Windows folder.
If it still doesn't work, I hate to say it but... I think a Hard Reset is the only thing that will fix your issue.
Sorry.

Hey Loprty!
We got the same problem, i don't know what cause this, but we can check something, what programs do U install to the device?

....and the landscape mode didn't work fore me either for programs that used to.
IE, Opera, etc..

Didn't find the solution, so had to Hard reset it. After that the sound and vibration work again, and the system is more stable now.

check HKCU\software\microsoft\inbox\settings\smsavailable=1

Try not installing "NeoS2007 driver pack"
AFAIK, this is not being supported anymore so you probably have a driver incompatibility issue.

Problem solved.
Hungarian manila files caused the problem. Switch back to english, and everything works fine. I'll try different hungarian translation pack for this version of Manila...
Thanks 4 everything!
