hi there

i need a tool that can change my alert/app/notification sounds like on windows phone 7 : Advanced config tool
see: http://www.touchxperience.com/advanced-configuration-tool/
Offcourse this tool DOES NOT WORK on windows phone 8

with this tool you can set almost every alert/app/notification sounds


i did my homework and found this :

go with registry editor or the GDTD webserver to :
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EventSounds\Sounds

here you can see alert/app/notifcation directories with the sound string.
for example :
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EventSounds\Sounds\Alarm

Values Type Size Data
Sound String 88 C:\Programs\CommonFiles\Sounds\Alarm-01.wma
Category String 12 Alarm

So its NOT that easy to change this value....

Is someone busy with such a tool like Advanced Config to change the sounds ???
or is someone willing to make such a tool ?

mayby an option for -W-O-L-F- tool ???

many thanks
Me! :good:

I actually posted this registry tweak in the Samsung ATIV S registry hacks thread over a month ago. Isn't news though. Its already in GDR3 so its kinda pointless to add one since alot of us have GDR3.

To edit that value in a sideloaded app would require a capability unlock; the capability exists and it's easy to edit those strings using my NativeRegistry library or something similar, but only Samsung phones can be capability-unlocked right now.

As pointed out though, this is an official feature of GDR3 and anybody who wants it can get the update now, so it's not personally a priority now (the requested feature, not unlocks in general; those are my main priority).

I already implemented the feature, however I'm not able to write those registry values with your NativeAccessLibraries, but I am with the Samsung diag component. What might be the problem? I think I have all possible capabilities in the app.

For access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\EventSounds\Sounds, you need ID_CAP_SOUND_CONTROL.

The Samsung library works fine (for Strings and DWORDS only) because the RPC service executing those operations already has a ton of permissions.
