How to make custom 'Keyboard Sliding Sounds'

[neonstorm]

Want to create your own keyboard sliding sounds?WM6 comes with three by default, and you can't add custom ones...

Or can you?

Using a registry editor (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm), nav to:

\HKLM\Software\HTC\SlidingSound

There are 3 keys: 0,1, and 2. These represent the three current sounds: piano, xylophone, and whatever the third is.

Make a copy of one of these and name it 4. Inside 4, set Default to the name for your sound. Then make the In and Out point to the appropriate wav's in the Windows directory.

Soft reset your device, then go to Start > Settings > Keyboard Sliding Sounds. Your new entry should appear in the list.

Hope it helps!!

[xQlusive]

Yeap Indeed, Can someone please link us some sliding sounds??it would be very helpfull for the p4350 community:)

[neonstorm]

Well, after downloading a bunch of free sound FX, I've chopped them up and sped them up/slowed them down... Here's a few to try. I think they're pretty cool, better than the built in ones at least... :)

[madcow_mda]

the transformers sounds are really cool. i did speed them uip slightly and lowered the volume

[VooDoo1]

guys...what am I doing wrong here? total commander won't allow me to copy or past in any of the directories?

I followed the above steps...but when it comes down to it...I can use the "copy/move" ....but then it won't allow mw to paste.

I also can't copy my sound from my mem card to any windows directory.

I'm totally new to WM and making mods to my WING...any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

[dude23]

yeah i dont understand how this works either do you guys think you can make more explained instructions thanx:)

It seems like you try to make a classical PPC copy paste by the tap and hold and you're not supposed to act that way.

Be sure to use the Copy/Move option in the File menu to do so.

Good luck.

Googeling for star trek original series door sound.... psssscheek :)

I did try the copy/move option...still not working? Let me ask you guys this, once I select the item...and then do copy/move...and find the place where I want it to be...how do I then put it in that spot?

Im getting really frustrated because I dont understand what Im doing...I love my Wing tooo much to give up though!

Blaah...this is what happens when you go from Linux phones to WM..haha :eek:

i love the sound effects! thanks a lot dude!:)

[Madcap180]

Why not just edit the already existing sound effects.. like inside the folder 0 you can edit the in and out entries.. like on my hermes I edited '0' folder in registry to be the transformers sound by editing in with value data of my documets/slider4_in.wav and out with my documents/slider4_out.wave

[DaMyth]

For those having trouble following this guide, I have one at the HoFo Forums. Should be real easy to follow.

[falconeyez]

For those of you who are having trouble creating amd understanding the reg file, any easy way to do it is to just edit the ones already listed. That really is just the easiest. Just make sure you copy your wav files into the Windows folder on your device. And for a treat, my sounds; a Lightsaber!

i guess the easiest way is to
1) download the wav-files and rename then to 3_in.wav and 3_out.wav (the number 3 depends on the number of previously installed sounds)
2) edit the registry on your device (as instructed in the 1st post)
3) connect to activesync.
4) explore your device, go to the windows directory (on the device). and then copy the .wav files into the windows directory.
5) restart the device
6) edit sliding sound settings and it should work

[nicholasendean]

Try as I might (I am regedit savy!) I still can't get this trick / hack / addon to work.

Reg settings seem fine, softreset...nothing...???? WHY
Sound files in windows work perfectly as I've run them directly from a command line address so I know they are pointed to correctly within the 2 paths.

Any help would be appreciated.

[steady1]

i first copy original wav to sd. then use the rename trick. right click on original name and select rename. then using the touch screen keyboard press the ctrl key + c. then take the sound u want to use and right click it and select rename. then use touch screen keyboard and press ctrl key + v. now that u have rename ur new sounds with the original name, hightlight both in and out sounds and copy them too the windows folder, overwritting original sound. then go to settings and change sliding keyboardsounds with the original name of one u over written.

[the greyzter]

are there any programs to allow for slider sounds for the mda???

[ChInEsE ChIcKeN]

i have the star trek sounds PM me if you want tehm

[zcink]

Set your Sliding Keyboard to Wind chimes sound. ActiveSync. Copy and Paste these two files into the Windows directory. It will ask you if you want to replace/overwrite the ones that are already there. Now when you open and close the Keyboard you will hear The Star Trek Original series Sliding door sound. No registry editing needed. Its really cool.

If you want to save the Wind Chimes for later use just copy and paste the files with these two names out of your Windows directory to a file on your PC.

Enjoy!

[zcink]

You can also go into the Registry afterward and change the name from Wind Chimes to Star Trek Door or whatever you want and it will show in the menu on your Keyboard Sliding App.

Also you can change the other two default sounds and rename them.

[boyet804]

its giving me some kind of error saying make sure i have enough memory or its not writeover protected something like iam not sure wat iam doin wrong

[zcink]

U R using Vista or Xp?. Vista may not let you overwrite the files but Xp Activesync will. Vista really sucks. I've been fooling with it for months and can't get it to perform the way I like. I can with XP.

[treo_disector]

this looks and sounds harder and riskier than it actually seems, so i'll give it as many shots as it takes, but it won't be easy...

[lokmeup]

I have put all of these sliding sounds into a simple CAB...

Ron

[FunkmasterDunk]

I'm after some sounds from the TRANSFORMERS themselves for my kids' side of my PC. You know...something from Optimus Prime or Bumblebee or others. But it has to be from the 2007 film. ANYONE HELP?

[jiz1133]

for some reason my sliding sound only works when you push it out...the "in" sound wont work...i redid it 5 times to make sure i didnt make any mistakes in the registry and everything is exact..i even deleted and redid everything....should i just copy and paste and existing key or make a new key like i did?

[alfa]

thanks for the cab!
makes it very easy!

[jriggz]

I had to rename my registry entry to "3" not "4". I don't know why it wouldn't appear in the list when it was named 4, but as soon as I changed it to 3 and soft reset it appeared in the list of Sliding Sounds.

Thanks for the tip :)

i finally figured it out myself...after finally getting enough patience to try it again...i was naming the original files i put in windows "slider3_out.wav" as well as the string value...instead of naming the file "slider3_out" and the value "slider3_out.wav" i love it!! even dowloaded a music editor and converter to make my own sounds :) :)

[dizchinorichie]

does anyone think they can make a hydraulics sliding sound set? like the hydraulics on cars.... i cant seem to find any good hydraulic sound clips i can make them with. thanks

Did you place the wav files in the windows folder?

[jazba]

Car alarm would sound hot.. Like the beep beep.

[jcharrell]

Make a copy of one of these and name it 4. Inside 4, set Default to the name for your sound. Then make the In and Out point to the appropriate wav's in the Windows directory.


Ryan


I was able to get this working after creating the registry entry as 3 instead of 4.


I now have the transformer sliding sound. :D Thanks for the help with this!

[loso_718]

I like the transformer themes.. but Im lookin for a NYC theme (subway door chime) for those who ever ride the MTA subway trains u know wat I am talking about

[motopunk]

this is from anothier forum so no credit goes to me here and I dont know about linking to other forums here so I copied and pasted the step by step tutorial it takes a few tries but dont get frustrated look at the othier strings make sure your default string is spelled with a cap "D" in default and as far as a reg edit tool I found that PHM RegEdit it the easiest tool so far here you go have fun all

Alright heres how you do it


step 1 get your 2 files, as far as i know they HAVE to be .wav files the shorter the better....

step 2 name the closing sound #_in.wav and the opening sound #_out.wav (where # is any number greater then 2 because 0 1 and 2 are taken up by the default sounds, i am assuming you can add as many as you want, and just keep them in the numerical sequence) and then copy them into your windows directory on the device

(now the registry editing begins)

step 3 browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > HTC > Sliding sound
and make a new key and number in sequence (so if this is your first it will be 3)

step 4 create a new string and set the value name as Default and for value data, name it whatever refers to your sounds

step 5 create another string set the value name as: in and enter the value data as title of your #_in.wav you made earlier

step 6 create another string set the value name as: out and value data as your #_out.wav you made earlier

step 7 (to make sure the reg edits stick) press the power button on your device on the side, leave it off for 30 seconds, turn it on, then back off and soft reset the device

step 8 go into your sliding sounds settings and apply your new sound scheme

how did you get the 8525 to recognize sliding sound when you go to the settings > personal tab. I don't see anything there after i installed the sliding sounds cab. please help I have been searching for days and can't find an answer

I'm having the same problem with my tilt and i dont know why. I can create new sounds just fine, but the cab full of new sounds just doesn't work for me.

Does anyone have sounds of sheathing sword?:)

[ilordvader]

I have At&t Tilt
Does anyone know how to change start Up Sound
I know it has to be a .wav file (is there size limit to it ? )
Need Registry tweak

Had done it before but forgot how i did it :(

Have tried this, But it doesnt work >>>
Could it be cos i have Kaiser Tweak cab installed :confused:
Modify Startup Sound:

Registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation
Key: WAVFile (SZ String Value)
Default: \Windows\T-Mobile startup.wav
New Value: (whatever you want)

" New Value: (whatever you want) "

Nope wrong. Cut the T-Mobile startup.wav to your storage and select an other sound you want. Copy that to your Windows folder.

Rename it T-Mobile startup.wav and your done. i hope atleast.

Soft reset and you should hear your new startup sound.

[coolcuboy89]

the cab file made everything easy! thanks!!!

on this note, does any1 have any cool startup sounds?

[FluidPhire]

Thanks to everyone in this thread who has offered their experience. I have loaded at least 10 additional custom sounds. I did want to mention to those of you who may still be having issues, and felt that you have followed all the instructions.... I was having issues for a while, I did everything correctly, and couldn't get them to work.... and then I changed the file attribute to 'read only' and everything instantly was added to my list of sounds to use. :)

[CA8OOSE]

ok ive tried for hours and hours days upon days and i cannot seem to get this to work at all...I have the T-mobile Wing running Open Touch v3.0 Biggy - WM 6.1 Build 19199.1.0.0 | NetCF 3.5 | Windows Live/IM, I have named my 2 .wav files 3_out.wav and 3_in.wav i also have everything setup in the registry of what its supposed to be....i guess what im asking is what im doing wrong i need to get this to work lol....or if i provide the sound clips im wanting to use is it possible for someone to make a cab file for me....im so lost and confused any help would be grateful...also i have the .wav files in read only format and still nothing so please help

Thanks,
CA8OOSE

[kareem9nba]

When i install a sound and soft reset, it's not listed under sliding sounds. Where would i find it?

[CA8OOSE]

did you install the sound before putting it into the registry, i know for example for me i had 3_in.wav and 3_out.wav in windows dir before going into the registry and making the keys for them. Also i figured out my problem, the 2 files i was trying to use someone who made them made .mp3 and just renamed them .wav so there was no way of getting it to work lol.....

[kareem9nba]

Well, can anybody be nice enough to post the Mario Cab WITH the sounds? I've searched for it, however i only found the regedits for it, no sounds :-\.

[shynei288]

i dont understand this can you please make more sense

[Neo210]

Ok.. so this was a lot less painless than I thought.. Although I would also suggest that the demo at the front be adjusted.....
"HKLM\Software\HTC\SlidingSound

There are 3 keys: 0,1, and 2. These represent the three current sounds: piano, xylophone, and whatever the third is."

Below here is where I had my problem...

"Make a copy of one of these and name it 4. Inside 4, set Default to the name for your sound. Then make the In and Out point to the appropriate wav's in the Windows directory."
/\
That step up there.... Here's how it should read... CORRECTIONS IN CAPS
Make a copy of one of these. PRESS AND HOLD ONE OF THE NUMBER FOLDERS (IE 0 or 1 or 2. For this explanation I'm using 2.) SELECT COPY TO CLIPBOARD (I'm using total commander). THEN PRESS AND HOLD ON 2 AND CHOOSE RENAME. RENAME IT TO 3. PRESS AND HOLD ON A WHITE AREA AND CHOOSE PASTE FROM CLIPBOARD. Inside 3, set Default to the name for your sound. Then make the In and Out point to the appropriate wav's in the Windows directory."

The next step is easily accomplished by closing the Registry and pressing the reset button on the side.

Soft reset your device, then go to Start > Settings > Keyboard Sliding Sounds. Your new entry should appear in the list. "

IF you have any questions about this feel free to email me 210neo (*a*t*) g mail (edited to keep spam bots off). If people need more help I may post a screenshot walkthrough..... maybe,,,, hopefully this helps though.

[celicel671]

do you still need the registry editor for this?

yes u do :)

[strikeone]

thanks again for this post neonstorm

[Fam Man]

At what point do you use the registry editor? Where are the 3 original sounds? I assume in the windows folder in the phone some where. Can any1 make this so easy a child could understand cause I am lost? PLEASE

Thanks Ron. The cab file worked perfect. It took seconds to get it working in my tilt.
