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!
