It's actually pretty easy to do if you have Root Explorer. The location of the sound files used is:

/system/media/audio/ui

The files you replace are going to be Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg. If you want to keep the old files there just in case, you can just rename them. I just added a ".old" to the end of the files. Once you place your sound files in that location all you have to do is restart and you should hear your sounds, assuming you have the lock/unlock sounds enabled.

You can use Audacity to convert most sound files to the ogg format. Not sure if you can use any other sound format such as .mp3 or .wav since I didn't try.

Why am I the only one that doesn't like the root custom rom thing.

I have only done it once with my G1 and flashed Cyanogen 6 and it sucked big time. I wouldn't get messages, text's notifications, the battery was jacked up to where it would just shut down, etc. Then it is a constant battle to get forum help and wait for bug fixes.

I am now afraid to do it because of this experience. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the crap on this phone but worry I will make it worse since it runs extremely well already.

Am I just worried for nothing?

What apps are you guys removing crapware with?

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
If you are worried about rooting, but don't want all the crap apps, head over to the G2 forum and look for how to disable stock apps without root. This is how we all hid the demos and Amazon mp3 without root access. It does involve temporary root access with VISIONary, but not permanent root. Give that a shot and you should be much happier with your phone! I know I was until we got root! :) And rooting this phone is easy. I'm still using the stock ROM (as none have been released yet), and probably will continue to use it. I primarily rooted for removing bloatware, free WiFi tethering, and overclocking when it becomes possible.

I had to use adb to remove my stuff. I've heard of people using Titanium Backup too. I would use adb... it is really easy. Just adb shell, then use

pm list packages

to find out what apks are installed then you can use the command

rm

followed by the package name to uninstall! :)

Bloatware is all the additional applications installed by T-Mobile that are absolutely worthless! Examples: Amazon mp3, Asphalt 5 Demo, Monopoly, Yahoo Mail, etc...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bchen03:
Yahoo Mail is worthless? What else would you use to view yahoo mail?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
Yahoo mail is worthless for me because I don't use Yahoo mail. I haven't used that in years. I've been using GMail since it came out. And this is the first rom/phone I've ever had that actually included Yahoo mail.

- Overclocked to a steady 1.3ghz

Root has basically allowed me to make the phone better than it already is stock. I can't wait for CM (and maybe even a good Sense) rom. I can honestly say I think I could stick with this phone for a year or more, and that means a lot considering this is my third phone this year alone.

I've just had my phone for about a week and I've done just about what every body has said in this thread. Removed bloatware, running ROM (Iced Glacier Unthemed), nandroid backups, and using cpu tuning to TRY preserve battery life...

if anybody has any suggestions on how to get mt4g to last me a full 12 hours on a single charged I'd really appreciate it!!

I've only ran the stock ROM for about 2 days but I can honestly say the Iced Glacier ROM has faster response times, but I think it has slower boot times

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
My battery life is regularly 12+ hours. I am using Iced Glacier w/ King's Kernel. His kernel seems to run much better than Gr8Gorillas. I have been running King's Kernel at 806MHz with Interactive scaling. With moderate use I get a solid day's use out of my phone. I also de-Sensed my ROM so it would stop syncing with Facebook/Twitter. I use LPP and it has lengthened my battery life by at least a couple of hours.

Please help!

I have not heard of this one. I have been following the tutorial on showthread.php?t=765496 along with the video and I made it up to installing 2.1 (the blue asterisk) The phone booted, made all the sounds etc, but the screen was completely blank, as in off. I shrugged and after a few minutes i found that it was operational (unlock, volume keys worked etc.) So i pulled the battery and turned it on again.

This time it worked, and ran fine, but it wouldn't connect to the computer. Hmmm I thought and restarted it again. This time the screen never turned on. I've tried it several times and still nothing.

Any ideas? It is not set up to enable USB mode so I cant do any control prompts.

This is really weird

Thanks!

I have a HTC Tilt 2... I have been having a ton of problems with this phone but when it really freaks out, I usually take the battery out, let it sit a few days and then it starts working again. My phone started doing some funny things today so I restarted it as usual, it freezes and I remove the battery. When I turned it back on I got a red, green, blue and white screen with text:

RHOD300 32M MI-BC

SPL-0.87.0000

MicroP(LED) 0x0A

MicroP(KEY) 0x04

TURBO HW/TURBO SW

TP MFG DATA

498, 526 792,855

795,211 214,211

223,845 Calibrated

This has never happened before.

This RGB&W screen used to say serial when it first happend a few hours ago but then I installed ActiveSync and plugged it into PC, now says USB.

ActiveSync won't recognize my device, it does appear in My Computer.

I tried following directions in another forum to turn the device off then hold the pickup/hangup/power button at the same time...a different screen appeared than the forum directed, a gray screen with "Trigger Ramdump Mode"...then I couldn't do anything.

I can restart it back into the tri-color screen...

I need help in laymen's terms. I've never tried to change anything about the phone's operating system, I've never done an update or anything, I do not have the Tilt2 CD.

Right now I have my SIM card and my SanDisk card removed, I was afraid it could get erased when I tried the pickup/hangup/power button trick.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
This screen is called the bootloader. Its used by technicians (or more advanced users) to load the OS or "ROM" onto the phone. It may be stuck in bootloader because some of the OS files are damaged or missing, and the OS is not booting up. Or possibly even a hardware failure.

Pulling the battery may/may not be the culprit. I've read someone on here mention that pulling the battery can corrupt files on the phone. If the phone is lagging, frozen, then pulling the battery is not the correct way to restart the phone. The correct method of restarting the phone by soft reset is done by sticking the stylus into the small red hole/button on the side of the phone, while the batter cover is off:

http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_pro_2_rhodium_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html

Pulling the battery is only a method of last resort, as the soft reset button will work in almost all cases.

Hard reset by holding TALK, END and POWER is probably not going to work. It requires the OS to be working, and you are not even getting to the point that the OS is booting.

Its supposed to say "USB" when the phone is connected to your PC via the USB cable. If I remember properly, it will say "Serial" in bootloader for a second when you plug the phone to USB, and switch to saying "USB" after that. USB is a form of serial connection, after all (USB = Universal Serial Bus). As long as it says "USB", you are in somewhat good shape, since it SHOULD allow you to try the following.

Try downloading the latest ROM from HTC. This is actually a newer version than the ROM that was originally on your phone, but still "official" ATT software. And by most accounts, better than the old ROM. Since its official software, installing this will not endanger any warranty you may still have on the phone.

Its the first file on the following page ("ROM Update"):

http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/downloads/

With your phone connected to your PC by USB, run the .exe ROM update file and follow the instructions that come up on your PC screen. It should work. Try it and let us know.

Bear in mind, you will lose any personal data you have on the phone (contacts, texts, emails, etc). But you've probably already lost those.

Its possible there is some other way out of it, I certainly don't know all the tricks. But in searching around this site, being stuck in bootloader seems to require flashing a new ROM to get out of it. And it seems that you are prepared to lose your personal data, based on the fact that you were already trying to hard reset (the TALK, END, and POWER button process) which also dumps all your data. And flashing the official ROM is really pretty easy to accomplish. Just a pain that you have to re-setup the phone again, since it will basically be returned to factory condition (but in this case, a slightly newer version of the OS).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RicoATT:
The SAME thing happened to My HTC Tilt 2 an Hour ago (1/13/2010 4:46pm)

The same exact thing occurred to my HTC Tilt 2 today. It is stuck on the red green, blue and white screen with the same yellow 'config' type message . The white bottom strip has the black letters "serial" typed in.

My problem also, is that the phone stays "on" until i pull the battery out. The moment i place the battery back in the phone, the keys stay lit up instantly and the screen is black. When pressing the power button, then i get the same red, green, blue and white screen.

Ive tried holding the talk/end/power buttons all at the same time, it doesnt make a difference. So i cant get to the step where you press the "volume up" key so to initiate the master reset.

Ihad no idea the HTC Tilt2 would just fry like this. I had no additional apps that were unusual to the norm, i even had more free space than used on the set. its not like the phone was over loaded.

Hmmmmm.... help!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JAKISTER:
Re-read above about "soft-reset" and you might want to try reflash your phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Read my post above. Your OS is missing or damaged, and you need to reflash (re-install) it.

Master reset re-loads the OS from the ROM area of your memory. The ROM is damaged, so their is nothing to reload. That's why its stuck in bootloader (tri-color screen).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RicoATT:
_______________________________________________________

Today, i stuck the battery in the phone (Tilt2) pressed the hard reset keys. THIS time it allowed the volume-UP key to finally kick in the reset to default cycle. I got the phone working again and have restored my last backup So, I havent lost anything.

The only problem now i am noticing is the light on the keyboard never goes off. Even when I power the phone down, "the keyboard stays lit".. I am having to remove the battery just to keep it from draining when the phone is not in use.hmmm. is there a regEdit key I can modify that may turn off the keys? id rather have no light at all over no battery juice. If i can edit the key to turn off the backlight on the keyboard permanantly , this will be a temp fix for me until i get a new phone.

as anyone ever experienced this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RicoATT:
_______________________________________________________

Well, today 1/18/2011: the above issue seem to have vanished altogether. Very good. I did nothing but what i was resolved to do until I buy a new phone (take the battery out so to completely power down the phone and lights).

Today, my ole third hand decided to work like normal! Yay!. All of a sudden it rebooted, and now the keyboard backlight turns off when the keypad is closed and you can see it light up when extended. and most importantly: the back lighty for the keypad goes "off" when the phone is powerd down. go figure this one.

I am glad its working like normal now, but i know its time to get a new phone. These are just symptoms of the "big-crash" soon to come. I am backing up every day.

For now, very very glad my phone is back to "normal"

[HD7 General] adrian_nene16:
are you talking about your hd7 or the one on the video?
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
Every phone loses signal when held by a human hand...the density and magnetic field of a person have to do with this I would think...but the iPhone4 would completely lose signal, I mean from full strength to minimal feedback...my HD7 only suffers from signal loss in my office, which I'm pretty sure is made of adamantium because nothing gets signal in there...everywhere else is just fine...
[HD7 General] ajithvv:
HD7 Signal issue.

I am having signal issue with HD7. I used the same sim card in HD2 and it showed full signal, but HD7 shows only 1 bar instead of 5 and some times doesnot show any signal.
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
Is that while you're holding it like the video shows? Because that's what this thread is about...if not, I'm pretty sure there might be different radios involved here, so maybe that could explain the signal drop...or maybe WP7 is actually more accurate in displaying the signal strength. I always realized that WM wasn't too accurate in that regard...

Looks like your issue is more to do with the Radio rather than the how you hold the phone.

Another invention of the media. I talk with my HD7 in weird positions all the time (is up against my pillow, with thick gloves etc) and it never drops bars. One of two possibilities: either a faulty handset or completely made up BS. I'm goin with the latter.

Same here.

Waiting for the Major Update.

Mine, sometimes 5 bars for no reason drop to 1 or 2 bars.

My HD7 is exactly like my HD2 for GoD (grip of death). I hold it normally with the bottom 2/3rds of the body in hand an get 2 bars. But I get clear and strong reception no matter what, never any drop-outs. If I hold it at the mid point of the phone, with the bottom hanging freely, I get all 5 bars.

This doesn't bother me in the least because I never have lost a call or suffered low call quality either on my HD2 or my HD7.
[HD7 General] Signo371:
I usually hold mine while hanging upside down from the ceiling under the water flow in the shower (which is an enclosed tungsten box) and I consistently bang my head against the wall to see if I can drop bars.

I can see signal issue with my phone

Got the HD7 a couple of weeks ago and i love it. The two biggest issues that i see are battery drain and weak signal.

I get full 3G signal in one part of the room but hardly 1 bar in the other corner. It's not like i have a gigantic room or anything. Is this normal?

And i can definitely see the grip of death issue, when the phone is lying on a desk i can see 3-4 bars but as soon as i pick it up i lose 1-2 bars. Even while talking on the phone i see a lot of fluctuations in signal strength.

The good thing is that it never dropped a call but using data services does suffer since sometimes it switches to EDGE/GPRS while holding in my hand.

Any possible explanation for this, guys?
