How to change AT&T startup pic & sound - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Sorry if this has been posted before. I was fumbling through the registry and found references to the following files...
\Windows\3G_Up.wav
\Windows\3G Up_01_1.gif
First one is the sound, the second one is the animated AT&T logo.
Someone replace them and see what happens.
The registry entries are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation

Well, why don't YOU replace them and see what happens??????
Why should some else be the "responsible" one? You be responsible for what happens! Not that anything will happen, but don't ask someone else to TEST your "findings".

Because I don't feel like it. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything. Have a drink and relax, Jesus.

You don't FEEL like it? If you are already there, found the files, what else is there to FEEL about doing it??? It sounds like you want someone else to TRY it for you and see if it works or dosen't work.
Have a drink and relax? How about you grow a set of balls and try editing your own registry FIRST instead of saying
"Someone replace them and see what happens"

Now you're talkin about my balls. Fabulous.
I have no suitable animated gif or sound I wish to use at the moment.
Others are welcome to try.
-James

No, not talking about your balls... but rather the lack OF you having balls.
Anyway, thanks for the "tip".

here is a thread with custom startup pics but not sounds...

Totally shocked by your response

I'll try to be more clear about my good intentions next time I post something. I was searching the registry looking to move all the video and picture folders to the storage card when I happened upon this. It wasn't something I was in any hurry to play with so I figured I'de see if someone else wanted to.
Upon further investigations it seems this was already posted in a Hermes thread. I do remember seeing someone ask how to do this in the Kaiser forum so I thought I would offer it up.
As for my balls, well what can I say, I'm quite happy with them lol.
-James

This was posted before in another thread. I tried it. I replaced my startup animation with the one that is on the kaiser. I also deleted the reference to the 3g .wave file in the registry and left it blank. After soft resetting I now have the HTC logo animation and no annoying 3g sound.

Stupid Question...

What's the difference between the Tilt and The Kaiser TyTn II?

Basically not too much. Just Like the Difference between XL and XLT on Old Ford Trucks.
New icons...
I've searched, well tryed to.
But I got new icons on my phone...
But I dont know how to use them...
Like, put them on...
Is there a DIY about this sort of thing?
Or am I supposed to be a genious??
And how do I get a huge digital clock on my today screen?
wow new serial threader...and u should start searching
prob just front camera...and htc logo and keyboard and front button plate
I still cant firgure it out...
I must agree. A simple search would have found your answer.
I will even throw you a bone.
This will give you large digital clock on your today screen. As far as "icons" I'm not sure what you are referring to?
Also, a couple minor chip differences. Nothing that affects anything we care about aside from which version of Tomtom you end up having to use.

my diamond reboots itself..!

Hi all,
just wondering is there anyone who experience same problem as mine..?
After couple of day of use, my diamond start to reboots itself without any reason.. i've done hard reset, didn't install any program. I have synced with my computer and that's all i've done and it just reboots on me!
it happens so randomly.. so i don't really see any direct cause..
usually happens when i open and try to edit contacts, or trying to reply sms..
doesn't happen very often though. after reset, it stays stable for a while.. and suddenly happens again next day.
any advice? should i try to re-install rom?
i got this from ebay overseas and i don't really want to go thru the hassle of sending back for a/s
Thanks in advance
When you hard reset, did you choose the option to clear 'Internal Storage' as well?
mod edit: Please be polite on the forums, and read the FAQ before posting
oh..
@marisa
No I haven't tried that.. thank you i'll give it a go
@cammy
well, thanks to you too. i don't expect to get diamond in my country so ebay is kinda my only choice. hope you don't have to wait long

There's absolutely no need for that. They're clearly more enthusiastic about this device than you, so accept that - and they've found quite an interesting problem that hasn't been found before...

Is this the way you want to start off? Especially with it being your first post.
Play nice. He found an issue. When you get yours, and it has the same issue, wouldn't it be nice to know an answer?
Play nice. Enough said.

Can Call Duration be cleared... anyone know? Any tweaks / proggies to assist?

Start, Settings, System, Device Information... Call Duration. How do you wipe those figures from your handset folks? Must be a way somehow but how?!
Please gimme a clue cus i'm trying to sell my handset 'as new' and even though i've only used the phone for about 2 hours total, in and outgoing, it'd still be nice to have no comebacks with it.
Besides... someone else might need this info for some other reason to so if you know... shout loudly please!!!!!!!!
By the way... ROM changing doesn't do a thing. Looks like it's part of the handset's brain so... well i dunno now actually! HELP!!! lol
answer below - please delete.

There are 3 command you can enter:
Code:
[email protected]?1
[email protected]?0
[email protected]=270F,270F
These do the following
[email protected]?1 - Shows Outbound time in HEX
[email protected]?0 - Shows Inbound time in HEX
[email protected]=270F,270F - Reset both timers to zero.

lol @ chilax!
Loving it! Thanks Dave. Trying it now so more than likely i'll get back to you saying i c*cked it up!!!
Enjoy lunch!!!

P.S. Added you to msn if that's ok. Hope i've not overstepped my bounds there
Kewl, let me know if it works.
Now, how do I set my call duration back to what it was before
Dave
I use ATcommander and send
[email protected]?1 and [email protected]?0 and
it's OK, but when i send [email protected]=270F,270F i see ERROR
I've installed Hard-SPL
Why?
Thanks
I knew it......
... when i enter the 270F,270F it says ERROR.
Correct me if i'm wrong Dave. You simply type in what you told me to, namely the AT code and hit send, yes?
I am truly amazed at the amount of help offered to someone who wants to sell a used phone as new. Spare a thought for the poor sod who will be conned into this. And please don't start the "it's like new business", you know it isn't.
You might need security unlock or Hard SPL at least to do this.
So if you have HardSPL already, you possibly need security unlock. Security unlock is still been worked on at the moment, so you could be stuck for a while.
Sorry, but I don't own a Blackstone to test on.
Thanks

Excuse me? Who the hell are you and what are you bringing to this thread apart from negativity? Go and annoy someone else. If you haven't got anything of use to say, sling your hook.
And just to further correct you... it's 3 days old and not been out of it's pouch for more than 90 minutes or so. Why i'm even bothering to explain that to you i have no idea.

Not a problem Dave. Thanks for all your efforts. I'm sure OTHER users may find this thread of interest... unlike SOME i could mention.
Oh, maybe this other option i mentioned to you on PM could help? If that's factory unlocked, that might do it, mightn't it? Just a thought off the top of the old noggin like!!! lol

What I am trying to bring to this thread is a bit of ethos and concern for the guy to whom you will flock your wears. 3 days or 133 days you have no right to clock it and present it for something it isn't. It is also illegal.

Illegal? Well 2 things.
1. As you'll have noticed, i'm new to all this side of things as far as XDA goes so i was unaware of that.
2. Tell that to everyone else and quit hassling me.
The ethics and ethos of this have been discussed everytime a thread like this is started.
As this is not possible at the moment I see no need for this discussion to continue.

8 Ball App

Ok guys, so I'm still a noob and I don't know if this idea has already been processed but I got an idea for an app that acts as an 8 Ball. It will display the face of an 8 Ball on the screen and as you shake it a new answer/message will display. My thought was that you could create your own answers/messages as well, that way instead of the normal "Yes, No, Maybe, Ask Again Later, Etc.", you could customize it into what you want it to say. Thought it sounded kind of neat and thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone else agrees. If anyone has seen this out there already then please fill me in. Otherwise, give me your thoughts and we'll see about making this happen.
yes, i would like one like this, i second your thought
I figured it would be a neat idea, to be able to change the answers, maybe even change the skin on it, different colors, and all that fun stuff. I would really like to get a lot of feedback before I see about creating it. I would need some help doing so however, I haven't created my own app before and I would definitely need some assistance. If anyone else likes the idea and volunteers to give me a hand with it then it would be appreciated.
here is something i did a while back...
Press the ball, then shake it while asking the question, then press the ball again... you will get the answer
Its very primitive, but it did the job for the lab
it uses sensor api from koush to get the random responses by shaking.
it requires .net cf 3.5 and sqlce cf 3.5 which is attached to the post.
sorry i haven't got a cab file. u have to extract the zip file to a folder and run gDataBase.exe
Sweet man, thanks for file, gonna load it here soon.
Loaded it, got some questions...
1. Is there a way you can make it where you actually shake it and the ball moves and it stops with a reply?
2. Can you make your own responses and answers? That would be sweet! Custom responses you can plug in.
Thanks!
This app is actually going to come preinstalled on the new diamond an tp2 so dont worry about it...either itll get ported soon into a cab or you get it once the phone comes out!! ciao

Facebook 1.1

I have running the Facebook 1.1 app that is on the droid, on my motorola cliq, because someone uploaded it. It is only showing 1.0 in the market right now, anyway is there anyway anyone can fix the notifications tab, so we can reply to our notifications with-in the app itself, instead of having to use the browser? I hate going to the browser just to respond to a notification such as someone commenting on my status, etc....or I have to search for it, in the app just to respond, iphone gets all the attention! If you can fix this, and upload it again, I would appreciate it.
Wowzers!

Dude you have a Moto Cliq use THE HAPPENINGS APK it allows you to respond to that stuff and comment on other status why in the world would you need the droid facebook.apk anyways on the cliq it sounds like your not using your cliq the way it was intended
I love the sarcasm, no really I do.
To the poster of this thread,
Please take the time to learn how an application is developed, what source code is, what an .apk file is, and then decide if this "request" you made is even remotely feasible. I'm usually not one to flame another but my goodness, the noobness you exert is almost blinding.
Duplicate post.

You mean I have to search for more than one word at a time? That's too difficult. I'll just put in the word facebook, cry for a few minutes when I see the results then I'll post in the development section? Is that cool?
I love it when people cry about how bad the search engine is and then in less than 30 seconds I searach for and link them the thread that tells them how to fix the problem they have.
