So I am browsing around my Fuze registry, just being bored, and I stumbled upon the registry settings to add/change the open/close sound effects (yea I probably could have googled for it, but its more fun to find it yourself!).

After finding it, thinking back to what I said when my friend Chris got his phone with open/close sound effects, “dude, I so want that, Id make it play the transformers sounds!”

Well, now I have a phone that supports it, and well, I did it!

You will need 2 things. The Zip file, and a registry editor for Windows Mobile phones.

• The ZIP file (Contains the sounds and a .reg file for importing it)
• A Registry Editor (I used PHM RegEdit)

To install:

• Extract the zip file contents to \Windows on the Phone
• Import the .reg file
  • or Open the registry to:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound
  • Add a new Key and call it “5″  or whatever the next set of numbers are
  • Click on “5″ or the new number you added in
  • Add a new String Value, call it “Default”, and for its Data, type in “Transformers”
  • Add another new String Value, call it “in”, and for the data, type “in_5.wav”
  • Add a final new String Value, call it “out”, and for the data, type “out_5.wav”
• Finally change to the new sound effect in the Settings > Keyboard Sliding Sound application and test!
