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, 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!!

And do you have cool sliding sounds for download. I already searching a long time for cool ones.
Regards, Tommy
Yeap Indeed, Can someone please link us some sliding sounds??it would be very helpfull for the p4350 community
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...

I know ya gotta love the Transformers.
the transformers sounds are really cool. i did speed them uip slightly and lowered the volume
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!
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.

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

i love the sound effects! thanks a lot dude!
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
For those having trouble following this guide, I have one at the HoFo Forums. Should be real easy to follow.

My Take
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
WTF...am I doing wrong
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.
SHORTCUT
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.
are there any programs to allow for slider sounds for the mda???
i have the star trek sounds PM me if you want tehm
Alright, I have read a few people being able to use tones for texts a lot easier using WM 6.1 -- how did you do this exactly?
I have put the tone in my documents but I have no idea how to apply it to texts? Any ideas?
do you mean how to apply any diffrent noise for texting or just custom? it's under sounds and notifications. other then that; i store all my text tones in storagecard/mydocuments. they should automaticly be added. Hope this helped.
When I go to sound notifications and select ringtones I can see the ringtone i want as long as it is in the my ringtone folder.
But when I select incoming text I can only see the default sounds and none of my ones in my ringtones.
Whats up?

Put them to /Windows. But this works only with wmv files.
Thanks that works brilliant.
P.s. to anyone trying to do this... u have to access windows thru ur pda, not thru ur pc.
Use File explorer. (top left screen in file exporer) navigate to My Device in there u ll see windows. U can copy and past ur file in it by going (bottom left) menu - edit - cut. Then go to windows and paste.

is this the only way? do i really have to convert to use as sms
if so really lame/degrading of the x1
btw cant i just drop and drag, under windows > rings
thanks for the help though
I suggest you drag before dropping
YOu can also use MP3. No problem. Put it in /Windows/Rings/ Folder and then you can select it.
Or in your \My Documents or \Storage Card\My Documents
Not true....i can't find the tones anywere:S i did what you guys said...nothing.
just drop it in the /windows folder and it will work, I just figured how to do this yesterday, dont put it in a 'rings' folder
yeah it works great..thanks man!
it has to be WAV and copy paste to windows folder on the phone not the card.
>and not in ringtones.
Ringtones can be mp3 on any location just tabhold and choose use as ringtone.<
Then go to settings<sounds and notification(or so)<tab notifications(bottom tab)<in dropdownmenu action choose messages new text message<then it should be in the dropdown menu.
Carefull WAV is big on Kb.
trim your wav files with audacity(free)

I had to refresh this info because it was very useful to me and this solution was simpliest I found.
No need to convert Mp3 to WMA and it works. I use storage card method.
i cannot find my window folder so where can i put...
All my ringtones are in "Application Data\Sounds" and it works flawlessly. I can assign any tone to any type of notification.
Hi D2 fans
I would like to addd some alarm tones and ring tones to my T2. I didn't find a thread yet that covers that.
My idea is to convert a mp3 file to wav and copy it to the ringtones folder or in the windows folder. But I am missing how to display the new tones in the D2 config menu.
any help or ideas appreciated
If you want to use the build in Alarm I can't help u.
But u could use G-Alarm... it provides mp3-alarm files
g-alarm
Thank's, but I don't like g-alarm.
I try always to minimize third party apps on the devices.
does it mean that the álarms are in the ROM?
copy the file you want in the my documents directory and it will apear in the combo box so you can asign it to alarms
No, this won't work. Default alarm only accept WAV file, no MP3 nor WMA file.
if you read the first post, he already says that he converted the mp3 to wav wich is why i didn't mentioned it
cheers
it does not work
thanks, but it works only for ring tones and not for the alarm tones displayed in the alarm menu...
oops
sorry, this worked on the hermes.
on the topaz, i just tried to copy a wav file in the windows directory and it does works and apears on the list of available alarm ringtones.
cheers
When you in active sync hit the explore tab, then within windows under folder options go to show hidden files hit ok or apply then back to active sync explore and you will find the windows folder drop you file in here, then you will be able to use your tone...
Marko
WOW!
Thanks guys!
finally I can wake up with a romantic song and not with a beeeepp

Hi all,
This is my first time posting...i need some help over here...currently i'm using HTC touch diamond 2 and i cant set mp3 tones as my sms tone(new text message)..
i tried the making 'media' folder and create a sub folder called 'audio' and another sub folder in audio called 'notifications', 'ringtones', 'alarms'...but this method is not working...
is there any way to solve this problem???
any softwares??
SMS Tones
Drop the tones you want for SMS directly in the windows folder. they will then be available.
EDIT. You can also drop them into \Storage Card\My Documents and they will work, but only directly in that folder, not in a sub-folder.
You have to convert the file to .wav format and dump into Windows directory.
codhunter..do u means the windows folder in my original storage or the windows folder in my memory card???
Windows directory on your device.
@ codhunter,
Did they make you change the funny Avatar you had?
Yes, Bruce. i was kindly requested to change it by site admin after complaints...
krishvind
respect to bruce but i don't think you need to convert to .wav format. i have an .mp3 sms tone set on my device right now. just drop in windows folder on your device.
bruce..i searched song format converted n i found none so far...is there any as far as u know??
Unless....
Unless there is some kind of size limit or something, .mp3 is o.k. for sms tone. just double checked and i definately have a small .mp3 file as my sms tone!!!

Thanks and you are correct. I just have some .mp3's that don't work.
Thanks for clarifying.
Reg edit?
does anyone know if there's a reg edit to change the path that points to sms tones. i mean so a folder for sms tones could be created to drop tones into, instead of \Windows or \Storage Card\My Documents? been looking through the registry, but cannot find anything.

Under HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications, there is a key for each type of assignable sound, so you would have to find the key for "New Message" and set the path under "Wave:", but there is not one universal path for all sounds.
WM only checks in \Windows: and in \Windows\Rings
Works well if you put sounds in \Application Data\Sounds\
