Key press sounds

it is possible because i have done it myself. as soon as i get home i will let you know how it can be done. also, the sounds only go from 0-9 any other tones will be distributed throughout the other keys some how.

here we go:

To make it easier for everyone else, here are simple instructions on how to change the default dialing number tones:

Save the .wav files that you want to use for dialing each number, to the root of the \Windows folder

Using a registry editor (PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!), go to

HKCU\Control Panel\Sounds

Look for the group of folders labeled Dtmf# (substitute # for the number you want to edit the sound of).

Within each Dtmf folder, rename the key "Sound" to "Sound2" for later use if you wish to change it back.

Create a new STRING key called "Sound"

Press Okay to create it.

Now in the field for Contents for <Sound> that you just created type:

\Windows\your_sound_file name.wav (or even a folder you have created leading to your storage card)

Press Okay to Save it.

Go back out to HKCU\Control Panel\Sounds

Repeat this precedure for each Dtmf folder that ends with a digit.

Exit the registry editor, and test it by dialing a random telephone number.

If the sounds do not work, place all the wav. files that you created directy into the windows folder.

After you have placed all the files into the windows folder, create a new STRING key and name it "Directory" and in

its data place type in the word "System". You do this so that you can tell your pda where to search for the files.

This is not originally my find nor can i remember where i did get it from. i just saved it as a .txt file.

Okay - have installed one of these great themes ... but how do I make the bottom menu bar (the one with Start etc on it) the same colour (to match the installed theme) ?

Cheers

Mark
[HTC Excalibur] igotDASH:
is there any way to request a background pic to use ? :)
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Coming from a guy who hasn't tested the above themes--this is how I change my Start bar color: On the homescreen, scroll down to the Settings sliding panel. Scroll left or right until you see 'System Base Hue'. Click the panel and it should take you to a screen with multiple colors. Just scroll around the circle until you find the color which best suits the background image you've chosen.

6.1 but earpiece volume is very low

I have tried both Kavana and RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_Brightpoint_US and RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Ricky. I can barely hear the caller, however ring volume is great.

Any suggestions on how to fix? Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
this may sound stupid but when you got in a call did you raise the voulme?? you do that by swiping up on the jogger strip. its low by default unless you change it
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
yeah and I HATE THAT DEFAULT :mad:
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
i feel ya on that lol i always forget about it after i reflash and end up wondering why i cant hear people
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
System Volumes
[HTC Excalibur] schnauzer:
Yes I put the volume strip up all the way and disabled the jogger bar. As I said the ring volume is great.

I looked at the system volume link from Mikey1022. I guess I will start fooling with the registry and see what happens.

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] daleksic:
Actually, I would like to know, as I think it is very annoying when it continuosly vibrates and rings. I would rather have it Puls Vibrate and Ring at the same time, like any other decent celphone does.

Any ideas where I can mod that?
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
yeah, go to profile and click on Menu at the bottom and select edit. Under ring options, it says ring, vibe and ring,etc. There you go bud.
[HTC Excalibur] daleksic:
Thanks, but I already know that, what I am interested in is to have a pulsating vibrate and ring rather than the constant vibrate and ring.
[HTC Excalibur] JL.Medina:
Thanks

Yo, this site is off the hook! thanks! I'm gonna give it shot.

Especially that my phone is jacked up.
[HTC Excalibur] chris247:
I am also very interested to know how to it is possible to get a pulsating vibrate !

The current vibration of my PocketPC it must too long, too noisy, I hate it.

Problem When Calling

Problem when calling - whenever I am calling people it doesn't not seem to ring at all, and then all the sudden someone picks up is there a way to fix this like the ringer and all.
[HTC Excalibur] ThePaleAle:
Custom Text Message Alert in WM6.1

So applied the Kavana WM6.1 and noticed i cant set my text message alert to a custom tone... Previously in WM6 i just took a .mp3 and converted it to a small .wav file and put it in the /windows directory on the device. It appeared when I went to set my text message alert on the device, now since the upgrade it won't... has the process changed? I'm using the exact same alert tone as before and put it in the exact same location as wm6 :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
It should take effect just like it did on WM6.0. I always place my ringtone/texttone mp3s in my Windows Mobile Device location via ActiveSync. It always shows up in my Sounds menu.
[HTC Excalibur] ThePaleAle:
That's how I did it though, I just dropped the .wav in /windows through my computer's windows explorer/mobile device... :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
yeah... but thats not how syntaxx did it. read the post again!!
[HTC Excalibur] ThePaleAle:
I don't get it... I have activesync running and the phone plugged in and I press explore mobile device.. it opens the phone in windows explorer. :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] Clydeistheshit:
I don't understand what you are confused about. This is normal.

Ok

Now take the custom ringtone you want click on "my ringtones" and drop it in there or just drop it in the first screen that opens when you open your phone in explorer (The screen where you can see... my pics, my ringtones, my videos...)

Then go from there
[HTC Excalibur] ThePaleAle:
So yeah, I drop the ringtone in every location imagineable and still doesn't appear when i try to change my text message alert. That's why I'm confused :(
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
have you tried.......

Maybe a stupid idea, but have you tried, just putting the mp3 in there. My Dash plays my mp3's and has some trouble with certain wav files. It probably has to do with a corruption or a signature for security.

Anyway, just thought I might be the master of the obvious and ask you if you have tried that. Good luck.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
stick it in: application data\sounds
[HTC Excalibur] ThePaleAle:
works that way...strange i never did it like that before?

thanks! :D
[HTC Excalibur] b0geyman:
You da man

That only fixed it so I could modify the values from the settings applet. When the time for a reminder arrived, it still only vibrated; it would not play the sound that I had configured for Reminders.
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
new wm6 in call volume lower?

with volume maxed it really seems quieter to me which is bad because it was never that loud before either.

any registry edit to increase volume? system volume seems fine if not louder.

weird.
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
there are registry values for incall1 and incall2 but they must be for notifications.

ugh.
[HTC Excalibur] jfreiman:
I thought the problem was just with me and my broken? Joggr.

I too am having lower incall volume with WM6. :(
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
i hadn't checked the vol strip while in a call, only when not in a call which apparently only changes system vol.

turn on the strip and make a call to voicemail or something, raise the vol to max and then disable the strip again.

i would still like a way to really make it loud when i am in the truck but maybe i just need a handsfree setup.
[HTC Excalibur] richy240:
I upgraded to the Beta WM6 ROM the day I got my Dash, so I can't tell the difference I guess.
[HTC Excalibur] jfreiman:
My Joggr stip is either broken (from day one) or I just can't figure out where or how to press it.

If there is a reg hack to max out the volume - I'd love to know it.
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
is it turned on? go to settings, 3rd page is volume control.
[HTC Excalibur] LiverpoolFCfan:
Seems like you also need to edit the "Script" value in there. Mine just has a bunch of "w"aits and "v"ibrates. You need a "p"lay in order to actually play a sound.
[HTC Excalibur] jfreiman:
LOL, yes it's turned on (well, not now. I it doesn't work for me).

But when I try it, I turn it on and all I get are random non-repeatable presses.

[HTC Excalibur] jvcjbl:
HKLM/Software/Motorola/BPCTRLR/WaveDev/BaseGains are all the volume settings for this phone, including earpiece, BT, headset, mics, etc.

Change HandsetPathGain to 10 and you should notice quite a difference. It's only +2 than the default but it does give a little edge.

Works well on the SpkrphnPathGain as well for speakerphone.

Try this and see if it works... it was originally for the Moto Q but everyone said it made it louder
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
You can't edit the script. Well, you can, but anytime you change your profile it will be overwritten. I'm not sure where it gets that initial crazy w & v value from either.
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
Update:

I found that value that is entered into the "Script" value in the Registry is stored in \MetabaseOptions database (you can only export the database with SKTools Standard). In any case, the Reminder script is always set to the "Multiple Vibrate" value, no matter what you select.

For reference, the database entry in question is:

Joggr Problem

I thought something was wrong with the joggr too, until i ran my thumb across it like it was actually a scroll wheel. you actually have to rub it from top to bottom, or bottom to top to change the volume. (sounds dirty doesnt it)

Not sure if this is the same problem that you all are having, but it seems like what I thought was up, untill i just started messing around and discovered it... I like it a lot actually, no more ear bumping it, or calls getting rejected.

Simon.
[HTC Excalibur] jfreiman:
OH MY GOD! L-O-L

You are my hero! Yep, it's working now that I know how to use it.

Thanks a million! :D

[HTC Excalibur] etperez22:
I tried that, but it did not work on mine. :(

any other ideas out there?
[HTC Excalibur] Clymmer:
Not really working now

Okay, this is really weird. Since I made the registry change, I can play the reminder sound in the Settings/Sounds area of the configuration for my Dash. Prior to the registry change, I couldn't even do that.

That was a baby step forward, which is good...however...

I've been doing some intentional tests on my Dash with meeting alarm/reminders. My Dash will only vibrate for a meeting reminder. If I configure Voice Command to announce the Calendar entry, it will do that too (which, is pretty cool, btw). However, the reminder sound that I chose will still not play. I've tried all sorts of combinations of the VC calendar announcement being off, Profile Alarm being set to "Play Sound", the registry entry being set to 2/3/4...but I end up with roughly the same thing: either silence or vibration alone or vibration followed by a VC announcement.

Any other ideas on this one?

C.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
I think everyone's in the same boat, just noticed it myself after also making the registry change.

While this version seems stable, makes you wonder if it's more of a 'release candidate' version the what we can expect directly from T-Mobile in a couple days. Can't imagine they'd stamp 'final' on something with a broken reminder feature.
[HTC Excalibur] Clymmer:
Starting over

Okay, I've reflashed WM6 back on to my handheld. Now I'm going to methodically load things back on to see what works and what doesn't. This last time, I was just so excited to have WM6, every change and every app was deluged on like a flood to get up and running as quickly as possible.

We'll see how this goes . . .

C.
[HTC Excalibur] Clymmer:
Okay, everything was working fine until I held the A# key down to quick switch to vibrate profile. After I did that and switched back...no more audible alarms & the registry entry for the initvol was set to zero.

I compared the profile config settings between the vibrate profile & the normal profile -- there were reminder type & volume settings available in the vibrate profile that weren't in the Normal profile. I'm not sure if they were there at one point but now are gone or if they never were there in the first place.

Aaaaanyway, that's my suspicion so far.

It also works in My Documents (no subfolder).
[HTC Excalibur] AznGunner:
ring tone issue.

Just started this morning....when my phone rings, the song I have set for the ringtone sounds jumbled and distorted. When I go to the song file on my sd, media player plays it fine. When I goto edit sound either through the Cpanel or settings>sounds I get an error "The settings could not be opened". I don't remember if I had done any changes to the phone to cause this. Anybody else see this?
[HTC Excalibur] AznGunner:
figured it out. I did overclock to 240...now brought it back to 186...seems to be running fine.
[HTC Excalibur] jdedeaux:
In call volume.

I recently put a new LCD screen in a dash i bought for 30 bucks. Great deal, little bruised up, bluetooth not working, and needed a new battery cover. When i put the LCD SCREEn in it works fine, upgraded to WM6.1 kavana and the joggr doesnt work. Its hooked up by the ribbon right i assume..just that one ribbon gets clipped in. The joggr worked b4 i put the new lcd in but now it doesnt work,and the in call volume is stuck on a mid-low setting. is there any other way to adjust the in call volume, or any ideas how i may fix the joggr. no physical damage looks done to it.

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
you should be able to do it in the registry, i know someone posted about it before, maybe hit the search and let us know how it works for ya. (i dont remember off the top of my head)
[HTC Excalibur] jdedeaux:
bump..anyone have that reg edit info?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
do a thread search for system volume
[HTC Excalibur] jdedeaux:
found what i was looking for only problem now is, when i get to the point to edit the registry, it is all messed up looking and i have no idea how to edit the audio registry. it doesnt let me change the value of the numbers.

Set Custom Ringtones For Contacts...

Anyone Know How I Can Go About Setting Custom Ringtones For My Contacts? I've Got Ricky's Latest Rom. I've Went to My Contact List Then Selected A Contact And There Was No Option To Select A Custom Ringtone All I Have Is (NAME) And (Number) Is there An App I Can Download To Have This Option Avalibale?:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Are your numbers saved as "Outlook Contacts" or "SIM Contacts"? Only Outlook Contacts can be paired with a ringtone. An easy way to check is the icon next to the number. If it's a SIM card, then you have it saved as a SIM Contact. If it's an Outlook symbol, vice versa.
[HTC Excalibur] RussianSolja:
Well My numbers are saved to my SIM i never use outlook cause im not to sure or know to much about Outlook Contacts Options thats why when i save my contacts to my phone i store them on my SIM. how's the Outlook Contacts Work?
[HTC Excalibur] :
It works just like other phones. "Outlook contacts" is just a synonym for "stored on the phone."

In ricky's rom (v23 at least) there's a sim manager where you can copy all your contacts to the phone memory (if they're not already there). After that, you can edit them from the contacts list to add a custom ringtone and caller id picture.

After you do that you'll probably want to go into the main Start > Settings menu to turn off the display of the sim contacts, as everything will appear duplicated.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
if you're willing to use your PC to find wallpapers then i think the mecca for this ( and your pc's wallpaper too) is http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/

when you go there you can take any wallpaper and select the dropdown for the format you want. for the dash, use the ipod layout which is 320 X 240
[HTC Excalibur] RussianSolja:
and that will fit the dash screen?
[HTC Excalibur] RussianSolja:
but the contacts will still be stored on my sim they will remain there right they aint going no where?
[HTC Excalibur] :
That is correct. They'll be stored both places. When you add a new contact, be sure and copy it to the sim with the sim manager.

And greets from IBEW local 613 :P

Problem after upgrade to Kavana 6.1 ROM

First of all, I would like to thank Kavana for making this ROM. It is great and I love it.

I have installed it on my Dash and I am having a weird problem - Whenever I make a call or receive a call, the phone won't ring and once connected the voice does not pass.

So for example, If I make a call from my Dash to your phone, I won't hear it ringing but you will see me calling and pick up the phone. Once picked up, there is not voice communication even though the phone is connected. And if you call me, the phone won't ring, but on the phone lcd, it will show that you are calling and when I pickup the phone, I cannot hear anything you say and you will not hear anything that I say and the phone will show that it is connected.

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. All Dash gurus please chip in.

Thank you
[HTC Excalibur] chickmagloor:
A call to all the gurus out there... please help me...

Thank you
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
I had a somewhat similar problem a long while back, but it had to do with me installing a version of Photo contacts Pro that was made for WM5. I had to do a hard reset to get it working right again. I'm sure that's not what you want to hear but it's an option.

If I were you I would flash back to my original Rom. Then try out the phone and see if it corrected this problem. Then try to reflash to 6.1.

Good Luck

Adding new profile to 6.1

How do you add more phone profile to 6.1?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
write one and add it in the \Application Data\Profiles folder??

WARNING...if you have no clue on how to write a XML file. DO NOT attempt to run it.

Easiest way is to edit the existing ones through Settings/Profiles
[HTC Excalibur] nhungcle:
If I do not have this folder, do I add it? Do you have an example xml file?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] nhungcle:
Sorry. I double posted
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Umm check again. What do you mean you dont have that folder.

Do you have your desktop windows to be able to show hidden folders?
[HTC Excalibur] nhungcle:
The desktop is showing hidden file. I have a profiles folder under windows but not under application data. That folder does not contains any xml file.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Umm. definitely don't do this. Dont create a new one, as it will not stick, and dont edit an existing and copy over the old one as it will then kill your ability to use that profile again. EVEN IF YOU RESTORED A BACKUP COPY OF THE ORIGINAL!!! I speak from experience on this, as i tried to do this with normal profile (which i don't use) to make a profile for my car and i have never been able to get that profile back. If you wish to try... try at your own risk, and use a profile that you could do without if you do.
[HTC Excalibur] nhungcle:
I figured out how to make the \application data\profiles to show. You have to edit one of the default ring profile. I have never edited any of the profile. I wanted to add a ring and vibrate profile.

Thanks for the warning pudge.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Like i said above go into settings -> Profiles. click edit after you pick the profile you wanna edit.

then select what and how you wanna edit.
[HTC Excalibur] nhungcle:
Sorry mike, I miss understood.
[HTC Excalibur] nhungcle:
I got this working. I can not guarantee anything. All the usual warning apply.

These steps add the ring profile to the Profile Screen.

HKCU\ControlPanel\Profiles

create a new key. (I used "RingVib")

Add string LocName & Name and set value. (again I used "RingVib" for both)

Add Dword Order and value for postion of profile. (I used 6)

These steps create the supporting file.

Open Resco Explorer.

Navigate to \Application Data\Profiles.

Select one of the existing profile.

Click on Action>Edit>duplicate.

Rename the first part of the file to the name in the Registry. ( In my case, it was RingVib.prof.xml).

Go to the Profile Screen and edit the new profile to what you want.

That's it.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
if you don't want to create a whole new profile, just edit the name of one of the default 4 that are already there (one that you wouldn't normally use)

here: HKCU-->ControlPanel-->Profiles

You're going to see five keys. (Automatic, Loud, Meeting, Normal, & Silent)

You can then access one of the keys you wish to modify. (and BTW, dont try modifying the automatic key for this)

(I personally modified the normal profile as a really only use outdoor-a.k.a loud and vibrate-a.k.a meeting.)

once your in the key you want to modify edit both the "Locname" and the "Name" string values. Make sure they are both named the same.

I used the word "focus" since i have a ford focus with the MS SYNC system in it. After a reboot, i then was able to go to start-->settings-->profiles and the normal profile was re-named "Focus". I was able to edit anything i wanted to in the profile. Even MS Voice Command recognized my command when I said: "Set Profile Focus" .

Doing this will allow you to modify the name of a profile without doing a heck of a lot. Just modify 2 string values and reboot, thats it! Of course you're going to sacrifice one of the 4 profiles, but how many of us actually use all 4 Profiles anyway?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
What is the purpose you are trying or tried to accomplish? ring and vib the ringtone?
[HTC Excalibur] nhungcle:
Correct, I was trying to keep all the original profile and add one that ring and vibrate.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Why didnt you just rename the "loud" or "normal" profile to something else and just edit it, by clicking edit?

So much easier.
[HTC Excalibur] nhungcle:
I wanted to keep the original profile.

how to buy ring tones in ricky's 6.1wm?

I just helped my cousin upgrade to ricky's version of 6.1wm and she loves it just as much as I do....

but one questions --- she asked me if she can get back the icon/program that allows you to check your min's and buy ringtones from T-Mobile....

anyone know what this is? is it the T-Zones? I thought you checked you min's and text's with a phone number... i have no idea what she is referring too, and unfortuantley neither does she....

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
why would anyone buy ringtones this day and age when there are sites like zedge.net among others that you can access from your mobile phone and download for free?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Because people have no clue those sites exist and they're rather get ripped off by TMobile and pay 2 dollars for a ringtone :)
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
sad but true.
[HTC Excalibur] nicolicious1234:
i know what your saying but....

she's young and not really into downloading free ones and or making her own ....

trust me the first thing i told her was to use the explorer and download free ones online but she doesnt have the time (she says)

so anyway back to my question- is it not possible to install whatever it was to download ringtones from tmobile??
