mp3 rng tones

how can I have mp3 ring tones on my mda compact.
I can hear them in media player but I can't have them as ring tones.
my os ver is OS 1.12.00 / ExtROM 1.12.920 / Radio 1.12.

you just have to copy the mp3 file to /windows/rings/ and select it in phone options.

thx man i thought that I had first add the ring tone and by the adding the file was never there so thought that it can't play mp3 but this time i went straight to the settings and selected it

one question more
can I move the default /windows/rings/ to another location like location /storage card/ring tones/?

Yes you can via a registry hack.

CAB File Attached
HI
Enjoy..... with the attached CAB file

Help deleting file

I cant figure out how to delete MrIncredibles dialer. I was able to delete the cab, but cant delete the rest
Also, I cant delete everything from QuickMenu, when I push my Start button, it tells me that QuickMenu cant be launced(because I have deleted some of the files, jsut cant find the rest)

OK Two things...
One: If it was cooked into the ROM it usually cannot be uninstalled well.
Two: Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs. Find it on the List and Click Remove.

Thanks for the response!!
I'm not using a cooked rom, I did remove the dialer from "remove programs". I dont know why I didnt do that already .
As for QuickMenu, it isnt in "remove programs" anymore, because I removed it from there a day or 2 earlier. It still left something behind though, becuase it is preventing me from using my original Windows Start menu.

I copied "naviPanel.exe" from Windows folder to Start Menu/Programs folder.
\Now, i want to delete this copied .exe file from the start menu folder.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

Manila "Today Screen" Softkey Change

Here is a step-by-step instructions on how to change the Manila Home "Today" screen bottom "Phone" soft key into "Contacts" soft key.
1. Download and copy the following Cab file onto your device SD card.
2. from your device install the downloaded cab file on the DEVICE memory.
3. Go to Start/Programs/System/Manila Config/Softkeys ( from the bottom tabs ), (Manila Config is also called Manilla 2D Customizer (M2DC)) Locate it and click on "Softkeys").
4. In the box under the "Left Softkey Name" type in Contacts
5. Click on the Right-hand box next to the 'Left Softkey Command space.
6. Locate the "Windows" directory and click it and wait till directory tree opens up.
7. Locate "RandomAccess.exe" file and click it; you will see it toward the bottom of the "Windows" directory tree.
8. Click on "Apply" at the bottom of your screen display.
9. it will prompt you to restart, click OK and you will have the lefthand soft key changed to Contacts. A much better setting than "Phone" command which you can access via the Green "Phone" hard button.
Good luck.

is it possible to use this to add "device lock" to the today screen? im running garmin dk.4.c if that helps. i dont like the slide2unlock.
sorry if this is mentioned somewhere else also, ive been searching for it for at least a hald hour now on here and i cant find it

there is already a wonderful thread in the dev and hacking forum by mpenguin that explains soft keys changes and more on m2d; but thanks for ur post and explanation anyways

Hmmm...
... I downloaded the file. Copied it to my SD card and ran the .cab but it doesn't ask me where I want to install it (phone or SD) and just says it's installed. So I reset the phone look for the Manilla Softkey Edit in Settings/System... nada. Any ideas?
Just a thought... is it because I'm running TF3D? That's the only thing I can think of.

I am experimenting with TF3D but did not dive into key remapping yet. I suggest you copy the cab file onto your device memory and try to run it that way. Your initial installation could have taken place on your SD card perhaps, and thats why you are not seeing it. Try the Device memory and let us know.

Why don't you expand your suggestion by posting a direct link to what you have mentioned? Your remark makes one hate posting any help thread ...

See if you have M2DC ( Manila Customizer). If you do not have it then go to http://code.google.com/p/manilla2dcustomizer/
and install it.

Alternatively, you can have M2DC link the left softkey to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk, no need to install any cab (other than M2DC, of course ).

it's easyier to use M2DC
Manilla customizer the latest build can change the softkeys
much easyier

Took the easy way out...
... I wanted to remap the right softkey to the RSS Hub... but I just used the PTT button instead since I don't use the voice recorder. Thanks for you help though... both of your options worked by the way.

How do i add device lock to the soft keys. By searching couldnt find anything..

Is there any way to change soft key to device lock using manila customizer?

Customize Screen Tap Sound

Got it.
The name of the audio file is hwandsw.wav this is a wav file. So what you need to do is go into the windows folder and delete the file. Now take whatever .wav file you want (realize you need a really really short one) like a half a second. Rename it hwandsw.wav place it in the windows folder, soft reset and voila. It worked for me and should you also.
I would recommend making a copy of the original, so you can restore it later if you want.

Man I am having to much fun with this, now every time I touch screen or any buttons my phone farts.

Somehow this doesnt work to me, i exchanged the file with another sound and iam still getting the old clicky taping sound (after soft reset ofc).
When i checked the original wave file it doesnt sound like the taping sound, is it really the correct file?

Doesn't work for me either... doesn't change sound

It's probaly in use, did you disable the sounds before trying? If so use a 3rd part file explorer that ignores permissions.

does not work for me either

Well, te problème here is that you do not understand the problème! Pal, ROM files are undeletable under no circumstance.
You can however overwrite'em but not delete'em

I tried to delete or rename the file (usine TC) but unsuccessful. Then I tried to copy a wav file renamed as hwandsw.wav into \windows - successfull. Soft reset. But the sound did not change... Still the original sound. Then I deleted the (copied) hwandsw.wav in \windows - the original hwandsw.wav file in ROM appeared.
Any advise.. ?

This is how it went....(event sequence)
1) Disabled screen tap sound -> no sound on screen tap
2) Installed .cab file, successful, soft reset.
3) Enabled screen tap sound - > gives default sound (not the new sound intended)
4) Checked file properties using TC - file did not reside in ROM. Copied file to another folder and play using media player - > gives sound intended.
5) Delete file in \windows -> the default hwandsw.wav appeared (properties showed reside in ROM)
Possibilities:
1) The file did not overwrite the default in ROM
2) The wrong file was targeted (for the screen tap).
Good learning event though.

It was probably the wrong file name, I was just using the name posted here in this thread. If you find the correct name I'll try again.

I tried putting a new sound file as Menupop.wav into \windows (as suggested in a ppcgeeks forum) .. still no change.
dwizzy130, if it isn't too much requesting, may be you can help make a cab of file I posted as Menupop.wav. TQ

I can't run CAB files

From some days after i download Google Mobile app, then click the CAB file to running and make installation, some thing bad, i can't run CAB file and install it, i try with many cabs but same thing, no cab install, my device is HTC Toutch HD with Windows Mobile 6.1.
Please help me...

What error message do you see when you try to run the .CAB file??
(You are running them on your Touch HD and not on your PC I hope )
Mark.

You might have to do a hard reset

Yes I'm run it from the HTC Toutch HD, and i dont get any error message, when i click on the CAB file no anything doing.
Is Hard reset deleted my data ?
thanks

Sounds like something you've installed has removed the file association for .CAB files; three options to get it back.....
1. Check to see if your ROM has "Advanced Config" installed in Start | Programs - if it does....
Load Advanced Config, go to "Menu" (right softkey), "More Settings", then "File Associations". Then go down to "CAB" and make sure it is set to:
wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Check to see if your ROM has a registry editor installed - it may be in Start | Programs, or in Start | Programs | Tools - if it does......
Navigate to - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Cabfile\Shell\Open\command\
Under "Default" make sure it is set to:
wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Hard Reset - this will lose ALL your data and settings, so only do this as a last resort (i.e. if none of the other options have helped.
If options 1 and 2 don't help, a hard reset might be your only way out - unless anyone posts a helpful suggestion in this thread
Mark.
