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!

Change TF3D *landscape* softkeys?

Hi,
Does anybody know how to change the softkeys of the landscape page of TF3D? I know about the registry keys but they only change the softkey on the (portrait) homescreen of TF3D.
I want to put Second Today screen on a softkey since the landscape page isn't really what I need.
Thanks, cheers,
Cacti

Ciao, do you have any news about this?

Advance Config 3.2
Use the tool Advance Config 3.2
/Daniel

I dont think we would be able to change the landscape keys with advance config,,,,,
I think somebody from our intelligent community should really give a hand to help us out in changing the landscape keys. Or may be ability to change the prorams on landscape TF3D screen.

Advance Config 3.2 does not support TF3D-Landscape mode...
So yes, we would like to have SSMaPa to be extended to change the links for TF3D-Landscape. And we would like to see people who come up with Manila Themes to take care of the landscape graphics as well...

Most of the themes support landscape. Just don't use TF3D Config to install them. After you have restore the original theme with the Config tool, rename the .theme file to .zip, and copy it's contents to \Windows folder.
You see, most themers use a Diamond, which doesn't have Manila Landscape files, thus they don't include them in their themes. TF3D deletes all manila files in \window directory and then replaces the Theme files. So your Manila Landscape files are gone...

Still no solution?
I would love to change my landscape softkeys. Just dont know where to look in registry

1. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila key in your registry
2. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuLSKPath, add it.
3. Edit LandscapeMenuLSKPath to the program you want the left soft key to run (e.g. \windows\operal.exe)
4. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuLSKText, add it.
5. Edit LandscapeMenuLSKText to the label you want to use for the left soft key (e.g. Internet)
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for the right soft key (LandscapeMenuRSKPath and LandscapeMenuRSKText)

Works like a charm, thank you. I suggest adding it to Advanced Config

hello!
i changed the right one to Messenger (\Windows\WLMMessenger.exe), but I can't change the left one.
The softkey is the Phone, and it doesnt appear on registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila), even when I try to create one new LandscapeMenuLSKPath and Text it says it already exists.
The Phone softkey is so useless for me, when I want to call I simply have the call button (green)...
please help me!
deiota

Sorry Deiota, can't help, ITNV's instructions worked perfectly for me. Try again?
I wanted to add a little extra functionality by having my right soft key open a new SMS. With some messing around, based on ITNV's instructions I added three new strings as follows:-
1. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila key in your registry
2. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKPath, add it.
3. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKPath to read: \windows\tmail.exe
4. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKText, add it.
5. Edit the LandscapeMenuRSKText value to read: New SMS
6. If you don't have a string called LandscapeMenuRSKArguments, add it.
7. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKArguments to read: -service "SMS" -to ""
Hope I've explained this properly, works for me : )

when you say add a string is that adding a "key" or a "value"?
im using regeditor

landscape softkeys
Will this work for the Fuze?
If so, can someone tell me where to find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila in my registry? I couldn't find it.
Thanks.

Never mind previous drjim posts
I just figured out that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = HKLM. Doooh...

tried and failed
I want to change my landscape softkeys to Google Maps and Dictionary. I followed both ITNV's and Ouzo's instructions exactly. The only difference was that I created the Arguments that Ouzo suggested, though they don't appear to be necessary because Home RSK doesn't have an argument.
I was unclear on what precisely to put in the Arguments. The HomeLSKArguments just had Contacts (my designated softkey) without any punctuation.Ouzo, when you put -service "SMS" -to "", did you mean all of the dashes and quotes?
I made sure the both GM and D exe files were in Windows.
I also compared the Landscape RSK and LSK strings to the Home RSK and LSK that denote the standard softkeys and everything was consistent.
Still didn't work.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Need to Call Some Links/Programmes..Can you Help?

I am putting together a theme for WAD2 in WVGA but have a need to call the following:
1. The SMS page when the SMS counter is pressed. All I can find is the Messaging.lnk
2. The email page when the email counter is pressed. Again, all I can find is the Messaging.lnk
3. Is there a tool which can be linked which directly calls the backlight just like the SPB Mobile Shell backlight?
4. The sounds page on TF3D 15-tab is very useful, is there a way of calling something similar from outside TF3D?
Thanks

ThreadMoved

Apologies. I will repost the thread elsewhere. Feel free to delete it.
I am a Mod of 2 diving forums so I know how frustrating it can be to have posts in the wrong place.
Regards

It's alright man we moved it.. now you'll get whatever answers you need in here.
try this:
For inbox, try using:
tmail.exe -service "SMS"
It should open your inbox. At least it works for me.
To directly open the new sms window type:
tmail.exe -to "<number>" -body "hello" -service "SMS"
You can remove the parameters you don't need.
For email, replace "SMS" to "ActiveSync"
3. I have no idea what you just said
4. you can't really CALL something which isn't on TF3D... unfortunately. what exactly do you want to implement?

diving? wow, i like it,. would you send me the link?
oh, about the number 3,. find in the file explorer file named "backlight.exe" then long press it, copy,.
go to your desired direction for placing the shortcut, the long press again, then "paste shortcut",.
There you will have a shortcut to backlight setting,.
Hope it help,.

Thanks. All worked a treat. The backlight tool I was talking about is icon which calls up series of 5 boxes to control the backlight in the current power setting. This means rather than trying to use a slider, you can click one of 5 icons to get 20% gradation.
What I would like is an easy way of adjusting the sound profiles. I have found one within WAD but the box doesn't seem to scale to WVGA very well and this means some scrolling is required. What I am looking for is a nice easy finger friendly sound profile inut method.

How to change path for Settings in Start Menu

I was messing with the registry and could not figure this out. I got as far as finding where the settings program launcher is....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Here we can add programs to the launcher and I beleive if I can add the .exe to WM All Settings page it would be great. I can't find such a file though. This is where I need help unless I'm completely wrong here. This would allow to add an All settings Tab to be added in the Launcher.
Or
If you go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3 Changing things there should work. Would ony changing the path work? I just need to know where the .exe for the Settings page is.
It just frustrates me that I have to go to the Settings tab then All settings.
Thanks for any and all help. I am trying to learn here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Edit: This maybe more difficult than I think. But I did figure out how to unloch the locked items and also to move them so they are at the bottom.
To Unlock go to
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
-Select one of the keys numbered 0-23 (a number for each of the slots. The locked items are numbers 0-3 and are ordered on the list going left to right/top to bottom)
- Just change the DWord value from 1 to 0 and you can now remove these if you wish.
- You can do the reverse to lock any other program in place. Click on it an set the value from 0 to 1.
--Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.
To Move the items go to
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
-The locked items are numered 0-3
-Say if you want to move settings to the bottom left you would select key '3'.
-Rename it from 3 to anything you wish for instance 'n' (or any number starting from 24) make it short because you will change it again.
-Now go to key '23' and rename that to '3'
-Go back to 'n' or whatever you named the old 3 and rename it to '23'
-Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.

There is a way to directly link to specific Settings items, see http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/windows-mobile-faq/12666-applet-shortcuts.html Just save the text string after the "=" as a plain text file with extension ".lnk" and put it in the "/windows/start menu/programs" folder, as I'm sure you know.
I've used some of these and they can save a lot of stylus work. I don't see a way to link to the general Settings page itself though.

You have to get a registry editor. I use PHM but have heargood things for Resco registry editor. Just google search for a cab.
HKLM=HKeyLocalMachine

EASIER WAY to unlock the first 4 shoutcut in start menu.....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0
change the "IsReadOnly" dWord value to "0"
restart your TouchFlo3D
Do the same for 1, 2, 3....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\1
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\2
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3

Thanks for the tip - works perfectly. Only problem now is assigning an icon other than the ugly white page with Windows square on it. I have tried the trick described here in the Wiki, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Provided you have your shortcut in one of the initial 23 positions of the Program Launcher, you could try setting the icon path from the registry, in the location as described by HTC Touch Freak in the first post

There's also an "IconPath" parameter under the 0-23 keys which you might have more success with.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried that after posting the above. Managed to find out the icon is no 398 in shellres.192.dll, and inserted that into the IconPath line. Now, when I click on the shortcut, I get a message saying
"The file 'ctlpnl cplmain' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found."

I wonder if it's possible to make up your own icon, as you can in desktop windows - a bitmap of the appropriate size with ".ico" extension?

Thanks for the link Fisha21. I made a link for remove programs, put it in the programs list and also saw there was no icon. Well i thought, maybe i can easily approach the link differently.
I downloaded Link Creator 1.4 - Shortcut Creator (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494613) and just assigned the link to the right softkey.
For those who don't like that, there are many different options that it can be linked to (keymappings etc.)
Hope that helps a few peeps

anyone help me .owner is missing i realy need that for some Resco program.thank's

Go to the People (contacts) app. There's an entry called 'me' at the top of the contacts list; it's like your personal business card. Fill in your details here and they're automatically used for the legacy 'owner info'.
Trust me, I've registered Resco Explorer perfectly fine this way.
There's a registry fix somewhere to get the old owner info screen back but, as you can see, you don't need it.

Same thing happened to me. You have to go to "Settings" - then "Menu" at the bottom right & choose "More" - "Private" --> "Owner info" --> "Alternatives" & uncheck the Identityinformation-box (dunno what it's called in english, running swedish menues on my phone).
Hope that helps

Method 1 :
Fire up a Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner and remove the redirect.
(You can also remove redirects from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Buttons and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input).
Method 2 :
Fire up a Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner and create a new DWord called “Hide” (without the quotes)
and set its value to 0. If you already have this, change the value from 1 to 0. Soft reset.
Method 3 :
If you don’t like playing with the Registry Keys
1.Go into Today settings, Items tab
2.Enable “Owner Info” while disabling others and tap OK.
3.Enter the Owner Info via the Today screen.
4.After you’re done, adjust back your Today settings accordingly.
