Please read this fot basic understanding: http://www.winguides.com/article.php?id=1&page=2&guide=registry

But how do I find it on the phone? or could I configure my 8125 through my pc's HKey?

Open Total Commander,
Make sure that the address is at "\"
Tap on "\\"
Then tap on "Registry"
There you go.

No Offense But dont touch what you dont know
If you dont know what HKEY means, or where its located, or how to access it and what to do with it you really really shouldnt mess with it. All it takes is one minor screw up, mistyped character, to turn you $300 - $600 into a paper weight. I would make sure you know absolutley sure what your doing before you mess with it. Not being mean, but trying to help you save your phone and some potential money. Im pretty sure it would void your warranty.....

I 2nd that Messing with Registry is always risky. That being said I use Resco Explorer and the Registry can be seen and edited via the Registry Editor Shortcut or inside Resco Explorer itself. I'd say do a backup 1st before hacking away... worst case is you do a hard reset if you really mess up IMO. Goodluck

Okey... I have a problem too...
I was able to find a registry folder. However there is no HKEY directory... All I got are: HKCR, HKCU, and HKLM...
How can I find HKEY?

fair enough.
HK stands for HKEY_
LM stands for LOCAL_MACHINE
CU stands for CURRENT_USER
Acronyms. :idea:

This is the answer I was looking for.
Thanks a million
Cheers.

I'm new to this also, and although I "shouldn't go messing with the registry," if I don't I won't learn.
I got both Total Commander & PHMregEdit the other day. I was able to navigate to and change the values in the registry to increase the cache size & use the 4-way d-button in Internet Explorer. They were pretty easy because all you had to do was change a value.
However, I would like to enable the Cap-Lock & Symbol-Lock indicator as described in the FAQ & on HoFo. I can get to the Control Panel & then to the keyboard directory, but I'm not sure how to Create a Registry or Create an Entry. Do I click on the "+Add Value+" at the bottom of the directory, the type "EnableIndicator" in the prompt that says "new value #1"? I tried clicking File-New Directory, and it made a folder, but I deleted that because I didn't think that was right.
Any help will be appreciated, I don't know anybody to learn this stuff from or anyplace other than here to learn it. Thanks.

how do i turn off confirmation "beep" after hitting send

is there a way to turn off the beep when you hit "send" after dialing a number?

You need to install a program that can edit registry and do the following change:
Look up HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart
Change the InitVol value to 0

Thanks a lot for that bit of info... The beeping was beginning to annoy me aswell

brilliant,thank you!

This is free:

Guess you have to choose the ARM version at the top in the drop down list.
Didn't get the desktop installer to work.
Copy the .cab over to your device and run it from there.
Well... why not just put it here.

Thanks.....

i downloaded the free trial of resco and that works great. i liked it so much i will buy it for sure. www.resco.net

After changing the value to "0" and pressing done, I exit the program and no longer have the beep when dialing. Once I shut down the phone and reboot, the beep starts up again. Is there a way to make it permanent?

It happened me too, permanent solution - I rewrited file callstart.wav in Windows folder in Audacity program and I used function - silence. It means now when I call my handy play only silence on call start

There is. 1. Use Total Commander (freeware) and copy the file Silent.prof.xml from the folder Application data\Profiles to the folder \Application data.
2. Then rename the copied file name to Normal.prof.xml (or Meeting.prof.xml, if wished, this is the buzzing profile).
3. Then move the new Normal.prof.xml (pr Meeting.prof.xml) back to the folder Application data\Profiles and overwrite old file.
4. After this you'll to have to reconfigure your settings in the normal (and meeting) profile but the beep at call start won't return even if device is restarted.
Got this solution from another S730 forum. Seems the Silent.prof.xml file is the only one in which the beep at call start is disabled.

it's quite a lot easier editing your profile xml file. change the value 'CallStart' to '0' and you're done.

Hey Admins,
perhaps you can make a sticky "Tweaks for HTC Wings" including this tweak.

I tried this to do with the built-in editor of total commander and I even tried downloading and uploading the file.
I haven't had any success. I changed the value to "0" and then I wasn't able to select that profile any more.
I had to start over with "use defaults", then I was able to select and configure that profile again.
What have I done wrong?

I was having the Same issue over here.
Now I solved it thanks to Radiax!
The solution is simple, change your profile again like you did last time, but after saving the file you have to navigate to Properties (File -> 0 More -> 4 Properties) and change the System value to +. Make sure to use the latest version (V2.5, released 24th of April) because this function doesn't work in previous versions.
Hope this'll work for you just like it did for me.

thats it!
Its necessary to set the system-bit!
Many thanks!

Nice! This indeed works a lot easier than the steps I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Latest Total CMD + System bit set
Hi all,
I tried to set my Wings like described above, but I cann´t use the profile anymore after changing something.
I´m doing this with TC 2.5 and the system bit is set.
Any ideas?
edit: in addition - i don´t have a folder profiles in appdata, the xml´s are in windows folder on my wings

PLAzmA's Sliding Sound Pack for TYTN II (Kaiser)

** UPDATED **
PLAzmA's Sliding Sound Pack for TYTN II (Kaiser) and windows mobile phones with slide out keyboards
*Note: only use the NUMBERED CAB files to install if you are using a TYTN II Phone or if you have the standard HTC Sliding sound system built into your rom. If however on phones like the HTC Wizard where no sliding sound is currently present, install the SlidingSound.cab file, and then launch the program and assign the files manually. The Numbered CAB files will not work for the older phone method.
List Of WAV FILES USED:
0 : Wind Chimes
1 : Piano
2 : Xylophone
3 : Futurama Bender
4 : Might Boosh
5 : Startrek TOS
6 : Dalek
7 : Cash Register
8 : Electricity
9 : Electric Motor
10: Hal 2001
11: POP
METHOD 1: TO INSTALL NEW HTC PHONES LIKE KAISER BY CAB FILES:
This is really easy pick one of the numbered install files from "Kaiser - Modern Phones CAB Install Files.rar", you can either install the complete pack or just one of the sounds, however as it must have a constant number sequence in the registry, its programmed to replace the 3 base sounds in every pack. This is to ensure that the pack works correctly despite possible older mods. This means if you remove a pack it will also take the 3 base sounds with it, however at any time you want to go back run the htc base sounds pack, make sure you first uninstall the previous pack completely and the run the base pack install cab.
*Note: above numbered cab method only for newer phones with htc slide service like the kaiser, DONOT install onto older phones like wizard as this will not work see the next method.
METHOD 2: TO INSTALL BY ADD ON SLIDINGSOUND.CAB METHOD TO OLDER PHONES:
Install cab file and run sliding sound program, turn on slide detect service and assign wav files manually, refer to the list above for the appropriate numbers, there are two files to select from a simple "SlideSound.cab" file which just has a basic pop noise, additional sounds will need to be install manually, or to install the program and sounds all in one go, install the "SlideSound - All Sounds.cab"
*Note: above cab method is only for phones without the htc sliding sounds program built into your rom and only required on older phones like the herms, wizard etc..

Funny. I installed the Startrek Communicator sound alone. Real nice.

Rapidshare link down???

Hi:
Thanks for posting this!
Sorry for the dumb question. Do I copy just the wav files to Windows, or the reg files also? If not, where do I need to place the reg files (I want to install all sounds)? I placed the All Sounds file in My Documents, and clicked on it, it opened reg editor, but did not seem to apply changes, as they are still not visible under sliding sounds.
Thanks so much for the help.

when i try to open the all sliding sounds.reg i get the message "The specified file is not a registry script" please advise

To import registry file you need phm reg edit.
PHM Registry Editor
http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Try installing this and then open the file again

Hi Plazma:
I do have PHM Reg Editor.
I copied the all sounds file to my documents, and clicked on it, which did open PHM reg editor, but it didn't seem to make any changes. The sliding sounds are still not visible in settings etc. I have soft reset etc. and I still do not see the new sounds. Should they be visible in the standard sliding sound settings?
Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Do I maybe need to have all the reg files on phone, or is it enough to use all sounds only?
Thanks again!

Check new install

Worked Perfectly!
Thanks so much, I was VERY sick of the piano sound

hi all,
Any chance of uploading it elsewhere other than rapishare or megaupload? Preferably mediafire or yourfilehost? Thanks ya!

Uninstall?
I have uninstalled this after I tried to make it work on my X1 (but failed) using the second option, and I am presented with an error at startup that it could not find slidesound.exe. I have checked the registry and cannot find anything in there. Any ideas??
Thanks

Worked fantastically on my Tilt 2. I love the Dalek one

good slide sounds...

does anybody have 2 good sounding sounds (lol) that i could use for when i open and close my tilt?
3 keys on a piano up...and 3 keys down would be nice.

Here you go...
Install CAB and then just rename any two files EXACTLY as follows and drop them in the device/windows directory:
custom-in (Sound when you close keyboard)
custom-out (sound when you open keyboard)
There are two sets in the rar archive, viz. LS is Light Sabre as in Star Wars-This is the one I use. ST is Siege Tank as in Starcraft game. Both are cool.
Basically you can use any two wav files and rename them as mentioned.
ENJOY!!!

thanks for the cab....but does anybody have a simple piano sound?

here is a bunch i have collected sorry no cabs though there are sonic,mario,halo,startrekand scarface again i did not make these i just found them

where r they?

I'm on a AT&T Tilt and I don't see the windows directory when I browse my smartphone. Am I doing somethin wrong or do I need a special program to be loaded to reach windows????

if you're browsing via ActiveSync from your desktop computer, maybe you'll have to edit the folder-view to show system files (extras - folder options - view)

WICKED!!! This rocks!!!

Sorry, I don't have any piano wavs, but if you do a google for piano wav sounds you should find what you are looking for. That's what I did when I was looking for certain notification sounds.
Good luck!!!

Anyone have a machine gun sound??

So do I just drop the entire zip file into the Windows directory? I tried to drop unzip and put in the wav files themself, but they didn't show up in the keyboard sound drop down.

the sounds go in the windows directory then you need to opena reg editor and go hklm/software/htc/slidingsounds and edit the registry to either add to the existing sounds or editing the exisisting ones. to add more sounds you simply need to copy and paste one of the other folder and change the names and numbers to match your new sound for example to add a fourth sound you would need to pick the sound you want and make i 3_in.wav and 3_out.wav
you wil also need to go into the folder and edit the default to change the name. or if we are really luck someone will cab this up for us.for better instructions go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356400

Having problems
I have tried using the cab file and even manually edited the registry and it still doesn't show my slide sound in the drop down menu. it shows the windows original sounds but not the one I am trying to add. I have a htc s720 windows mobile 6 smartphone.

XPERIA Ringtone Volume

Hi all,
I searched the forum and didn't find someone else asking the same question, so if someone else did then I did a bad job searching the forum.
I just got my XPERIA yesterday. I am not facing problems with it yet, maybe in some time I will but as always SE will find solutions for the problems (hopefully).
My main concern here is the ringing tone volume, does anyone else find it low even when the tone is put to the max. I also got the SE C905 for my other line, and it's the same with all my SE phones the ringing tone volume is good leave the volume 5 and the sound is heard pretty well when the phone is not near me. The reason I want the sound louder is because a lot of time my phone is on my desk and I am talking to someone in the office, or even when I'm home I leave it in my bedroom and go to the kitchen, the volume in the X1 won't help much. I read on another forum one of the users playing with something in the registry to make the ringing tone louder but didn't say how.
Can anyone help me out here??
Thanks in advance.

having the same problem.. the volume is really low when at max...
was hoping someone possibly finding a solution to this

try this it fixed the problem for me

right, same problem here... I tried to tweak the \Windows\audiopara.csv file for sound volumes but is REALLY different from the touch or raphael

does this break the volume control?

Hey guys,
I actually have the opposite problem. When the system volume on my X1i is FULL, it seems to 'clip' really bad and the sound is distorted. I therefore my leave my volume at 80% max, and sometimes it still sounds 'tinny' and distorted. I think this is because the speaker is quite crap, as my HTC Universal had much better sound.
billybob, I would just double check that while you're holding the phone, you aren't covering the speaker hole with your hand. It is VERY easy to do so, and this HUGELY affects the quality/volume of the speaker. In case you were unaware, the speaker is on the bottom left side of the phone.
Interested to hear what others think about this, but I can tell you that I do NOT have low volume for sure.
If it's your ringtones only, then you might want to look into editing the .wav/.mp3 file and increasing the levels that way. I always make my own ringtones, and I find that sometimes I need to increase the dB levels a bit more than normal.

theres already been a couple of threads on this, you do need to edit the correct audiopara file, have a search for audiopara on my username

patterns
I downloaded and installed the HTCVolume.cab file on my X1. Did a soft reset too. Now what next? I dont see any new program or any change in the volume? Am i missing something?

I did the same, nothing's there. I will try searching for the audiopara solution maybe it will fix the problem.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443276&highlight=volume

I dont think its a general volume problem. It seems the Xperia is playing custom mp3 ringtones quieter than the standard ringtones that came with the device.

It doesn't have to do with the ringtones because I am using my own ringtone and on my X1 it's low whereas on my other SE C905 it's normal.
Now for those of you who didn't solve this yet, here's what I did and it worked for me thanks to our friend fards.
P.S.: I am not responsible for any defection in your phone using my method. You should do this on your own responsability.
Download fards's AudioPara3_XC_Vodafone_V5.zip which I reuploaded or if you have the original one which I have you will have to download AudioPara3_XC.zip. It's the same file but one for vodafone and the other for original ones that are not locked to one company which is my case.
Now go to your X1 to Windows folder, you have either AudioPara3_XC_xxx.csv if your phone id locked to one company or AudioPara3_XC.csv if you have an unlocked phone. If you can't see these files press menu them show all files to view them. Now copy this csv file and put it somewhere on your desktop as a backup copy.
Unzip the csv file in some folder on your computer. Now download one of these files, which will allow you to copy the csv file to your mobile. Normal file explorer will not allow you to overwrite the csv file on the phone.
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
or direct cab file http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
After you install the software go to your Xperia open the software, navigate to Windows folder got the the AudioPara3_XC file and remove the read only option for the file. Now put your downloaded csv file to your phone (not to Windows folder, you can't paste it there). Using the total commander, navigate to where you copied the new csv file, then copy/move this file, and put the destination \Windows\ then soft reset your phone and you're done.
BTW after resetting the phone, the voice control interface changed, I don't know if it's due to the new csv but it kinda looks cool .
Thank you fards for the help

ehajj
thanks for the help. Just a few queries before I go ahead.
1) Will restoring the original AudioPara3_XC_xxx.csv file to its original destination will make the phone as it was before or its a irreversible process?
2) Does this increase the speaker volume (for tones) or only the earpiece volume?
Thanks for your prompt help!

Hi Moleculez,
1) The purpose of backing up the original file is to be able to restore the phone volume to its original state, so yes it's a reversible process.
2) I noticed an increase in the speaker volume and that's what I wanted in first place. For the earpiece I don't know yet as I just got my X1 on saturday afternoon so I am still Xperiencing with it.

I'm Having a slight problem, here, wonder if anyone can help.
I'm using total commander, trying to remove the read-only attribute from the .csv files in my x1/windows folder.
I touch and hold the file, and select properties, then clear the read-only checkbox, check the change checkbox, and click now.
Upon reselecting the.csv file, and opening properties, it is still read-only.
Am i doing something wrong? should i soft reset at this point to change the attribute?
Any help much appreciated, as i'd love my X1 to be a bit louder.
By the way, its a generic UK X1. (CarphoneWarehouse 02 unlocked/unbranded)

why are you trying to remove the read-only status of a file in rom?
Overwrite the file with the new one, the old one will not be deleted, the operating system will just use the new one instead. If you don't like it delete or rename the new file and after a soft reset the original file will be restored.

WARNING
the file posted for NoBrand X1 attenuates excessively the volume during calling if you use headphone, so for me is not usable...
i've had to re-overwrite to the orginal one

My wife got her X1i yesterday and I played around with it and the sound volume is great and the clarity is superb. So I don't know what this is about.

try to use a custom mp3 as ringer and you will know what we're talking about
