How to make custom 'Keyboard Sliding Sounds'

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.

Googeling for star trek original series door sound.... psssscheek

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.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195063&highlight=Sliding+Sound+Guide

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???

try saving it as .wav on your \windows dir

Umm...look above....lol... gues i was too wordy....
Thought I'd take a chance with this one. First what format is the media type you are working with. I have found under sounds and notifications -- >Start >Settings > Sounds and Notifications is where you have the granularity to make some choices. First you have to make sure a .wav format of the file exists in the correct Windows folder of your mobile OS to be able to use the file (*hint locate the names of the default sounds listed in the S&N dropdown list*). Took me about a week to realize that i was bound by M$ file types (.wav). If you need to convert a file from one format to another there are an assundry of apps to look at, but i recommend a look at audacity (only for quick learning curve and open source app).
Hope this provides some insight. As I am using a rom i found on this forum i don't remember the default path for a Kaiser or AT&T tilt anymore. Locating the file browser via activesync should provide more help in locating where the file should reside.
Don't toss the phone or if you want to sling it my way, wy wife could use the device (best I have had to date IMHO).
Cheers and good luck.

For the record, WAV and MIDI files will only work if they are in the \windows\ directory in the root of your device. This confused me when I first got my Tilt because my Wizard would see them in \My Documents\ on my SD card.

Not sure about wavs or midis, but it will use MP3s off of the storage card.
I'm using L26 v5 ROM and the MP3s in the Mp3 directory on my SD card root all show up under selectable ring tones.

Yeah as ringtones. But not text message tones, correct?

@Renegade503 we welcome your eagerness to learn about your device. But your flooding our board with n00bish questions, and repeatedly posting about stuff you can find in the manual sooo
RTFM ...
Just in case you dont understand what that means, and so you dont make another post asking what it means, i will just tell you..
Read The F**king Manual

S2P is Slide 2 Play by A_C - Very cool IPhone style music player = You obviously didn't search too hard as A_C is one of the most popular developers on this forum - He also created S2U2 and S2V . SEARCH
Icontacts is a phone contacts manager - I havn't used it yet but I read that it is good - Available - SEARCH
GSLIDE - ? Something to do with sliding screen or something perhaps - GOOGLE it. You might not even need it.
Why don't you install them to find out yourself what they are? Where did you get these? Obviously not from their own threads / sites otherwise you would know what they are = Instructions / readme's are available in their appropriate threads / pages - SEARCH

sos, using my dads account, not used this type of forum before.
I am trying to install them, several done no problem, but the ones i mention have NO setup or install file, they just seem to be a bunch of random files with no instruction how to install or where to place them on my phone.
Have searched, so far I THINK the prob maybe my tof rom.??????????

They are .cab files. By default, WIndows will treat them as a zip file.
When you download these programs, you will have a ZIP file. Inside this file is usually a readme.txt file and a *.CAB file.
DO NOT open the CAB file. Copy the CAB file to your PDA. Browse to the file in file esplorer on your pda and tap on the CAB file. This will install it.
I just downloaded S2P and it does come in a CAB file as I explained.

There was no readme or text file and if i click on the setup to install it, a load of mumbo jumbo i dont understand comes up

I will google it some more, i cannot find a solution at the minute, because whenever i try to install it just wont do it, i'm not sure whether i have to convert them or not, on all my others like "ifonz" Ive just gone into them and they've installed when i click setup but these havnt, just a load of mumbo jumbo and technical stuff i cant understand

Those are the cabs. Basically don't open the zip file. Just copy the whole zip file to you device. Be sure to remember where you sent it. Then using your device, find the zip file (This is the cab). To install on your device, all you have to do is simply click on it. When you open a cab on your computer using WINRAR or WINZIP it looks like a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Stop opening the cab - Just put it on your device and click

Thanks very much! Ive installed almost all of the programs now, Im not sure what to do with iPodclassic1.0QVGA Is it a skin? Or is it not needed because i have S2p

I believe that the IPodclassic1.0QVGA is a skin for Windows media player. If you have in installed, check out your media player settings / skins to see if it is there.

Ringtones

I have the emobile touch diamond, Japanese version. I cannot figure out how to set my mp3s as a ringtone. It will only let me make .wma format into a ringtone. Can anyone help?

The easiest way to set an mp3 as your ringtone would be to do it from within HTC audio manager. Play your mp3 file in audio manager, click on menu-->Set as ringtone. Trim your file to play not more than 40-45 seconds since most carriers cant play a ringtone longer than that. After you trim it, select set as default ring tone.

Even if I play the track in the HTC audio manager the menu does not show "set ring tone" only allows me to add to playlist, properties, ect.

Hmm......ok. Do this, take your mp3 file...and save it in the following location. Using file explorer go to my documents-->my ringtones. Save your file here. Now go to start-->settings-->personal-->sounds and notifications-->notifications-->incoming call. You should be able to see your mp3 file in the drop down.
Good Luck.

that works.. but if you hooking your phone to the computer using activesyne.. they have an option when you first sync it to see if you want to sync music as well...
if you did that.. your Phone My Document folder will show up on the desktop.. and you should be able to see a folder name My Ringtones there.. copy and paste the ringtons you want in there..
and now just go back to your phone.. under Notification.. you should be able to see your ringtones under the drop down like syedimran said

Ya, something is different because it is a Japanese rom. It does have a ringtone folder, but the name is in Japanese. Even if I put files in there they do not show up in setting/personal/sounds and notifications/notifications/incoming calls drop down menu. It is very strange.

Might I suggest flashing a nice clean english rom then. Its gonna save you a lot of rework and its easier this way. Ofcourse the choice is all yours.

How would I go about flashing the rom? Would everything else work ok?

Flashing a new ROM would cause everything other than the stuff in your internal storage deleted.
You can backup call history, sms, e-mails, contacts using this program call PIM Backup (search it on the forum you will see it, or go under the ROM development section click on the Dutty 3.5b Final post and in the first page he has a link to PIM Backup)
Just follow the instruction from the Dutty 3.5b Final post and you will know how to flash a new ROM
of course you can also choose other ROMs of you choice but the same instruction applies to all ROM

few questions

hello guys i just have some question that i'd really appreciate if any1 answers to them:
1- how to set a mp3 file as an incoming message or alarm tone?
2- what happens when u press the first press of the camera key while on any screen cuz it says: error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename
3-when an alarm tone rings or i receive a message i have to listen to the whole tone i cant silent can this be changed
4- can i set the defult bluetoth inbox folder from my documents on phone memory to any other folder??
5- how to select multiple files in file explorer, i mean files that r not in order like u do on a normal computer with Ctrl
that's all i can remember for now more to come many thaaaaaaaanx in advance

i just remembered 3 more
6- how to know the progress of files i'm sending?
7-how to edit the audiopara to make the phone louder or if u would kindly guide me to one already edited
8- can u also guide me to a good audio player and a good video player that plays Divx?
i know it's too much i feel that i don't really know this phone yet and i'll really appreciate any help

1) Store the corresponding mp3 files under Application Data\Sounds. Afterwards you will be able to choose the ring tone in the settings (sounds and notifications).
5) It's exactly the same. Use the Ctrl. key on the onscreen keyboard (the original one with the tiny keys, not any third party keyboards). Or use a third party explorer like Total Commander or Resco Explorer. They usually come with a multi selection function.
8) Use the official Divx Mobile from Divx.com or TCPMP (a search will do it). These are the free programs. A commercial solution is Core Player which is available on coreplayer.com.
That's my contribution I cant answer the other questions.

thanx so much, right now i'm searching for DivX mobile and u really helped me with this Ctrl thing i never use on-screen keyboard but i'll now
