I dont know if you can use .wma's for that, you may nee to convert them to .mp3 or .wav,,,,You may try and drop them in the \application data\sounds folder.

Thanks Pudge! Got it by dropping em in App Data\Sounds

I wonder if there's a master table somewhere of where sounds for various things need to go. I know some sounds can be in My Documents, others in Windows, etc. Add to that that you can't use certain formats for certain events and it gets downright confusing.

all i know is if you drop your sound files in the application data/sounds folder
any customization of sounds can be done if they are in that folder. As far as the types of audio file formats you can use, i really dont know the extent of what you can and cant use. Although it seems that .mp3's, .wav's and .wma's work when editing your profiles, other restrictions are true when editing other things, such as startup-shutdown tones (.wav only) as well as other restrictions that i can't think of off the top of my head.

Any links where you can get these sounds from?
I liked the ones in the rose rom but had to flash back to kavanas because of my weak little battery. Ill go back as soon as I can get a 12 volt car battery wired up to it.

Alarm tone as Ringtone?

Specifically Alarm4 that comes default with WM6. How can I make that the ringtone? I've searched through the phone and can't find the alarm4 file to copy over. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Let me know if this is the one, put it in your /applications data/sounds folder

Search in :\Windows

Alarm4 and the other default ringtone is in the Windows folder.

Yes, that's the one. Thanks!
I've seriously searched on my phone in just about every folder and still can't find it. Really strange. I'm also using VP3G's 3.0 so I guess he had hidden the default sounds somewhere.

Can anyone help me?

I just got a htc Excalibur and i am looking for an mp3 editor to make ring tones any ideas???
Thank you.

Try the HTC MP3 Trimmer, you can do them directly on your phone, all you do is open a music file with it (mp3 format only) edit it and you copy it to the ringtone folder. Here's the link for the cab. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2254414&postcount=176

Thank you VEry much!!! (sorry It took me a little Wyle to reply)

Looking for standard bling txt sound

I'm hoping someone can attach the standard alarm2 'bling' sound. I have tried to find it but no luck and the newer 6.5 ROM's have a different alarm2 which is kinda lame and just not loud enough for me.
TIA

hope thats what your looking for

How to silence camera?

Is there an easy way to suppress the sound effects when using the camera?

Doh! Sorry - I just found it on the 2nd menu options page of the camera app...

Where? I'm blind?
Call me stupid, but I don't see the sound options in the Camera settings. I too am looking for a way to silence the camera sounds when taking pictures.

In the Camera settings, go to the Advanced Options. On the 3rd page is a "Shutter Sound" option.

Just a FYI
Hey there!
Well is you have the Telus version YOU ARE SCREW like me
the option is not there
but I found that if you call your voice mail and take picture at the same time, you will get the sound from \windows\shuttersound.wav witch is quiet compare to the rom one.
I did try to delete the file but it keep getting copy over after a softreset
good luck men

I have an unlocked device so I can disable the sound via the camera app settings. But for those of you who can’t, perhaps you can try messing with this registry entry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General\DisableShutterSound
If it doesn’t work, place the unzipped attached file into your Windows directory. It’s just a blank wav file (created by opening Windows Sound Recorder and clicking “Save as” without doing anything).
If it still doesn’t work, then maybe you’ll need a wav file recorded with a second of silence…

Thanks but..
Thanks for the reply but that is not working.
I still wanna use the stock phone for now.. but one day I will jump the fence..
I did Try the registry change(S) .(went all through all the reg. to find out something else) deleting reg word and folders (not the greatest solution but i was trying...
had to hard reset 2 times.
I did try to install about 6 others HTC camera cabs..from tp hd etc custom software
I deleted the .wav file I did try to replace it with a silence file. but a soft-reset will re put it back
don't worry about it.. I did try and I FAILED
Canon ftw

I will look for the reg setting but if you find it before I do then you can change the sound path from windows\shuttersound.wav to windows\none and that should work. when I find the reg setting I will make a cab for it. should be tonight but if not then I will post it in the am.
Ok here is the cab. Try it and let me know. It does not silence it totally but it only leaves a small click

Sorry ...

Hello HTC Friend,
I did try your Cab file ... and I still have the "Big" shutter sound + the CLICK from telus. I did try many others "cab file" to remove the shutter without success
The "work around" I found use the windows sound file but it really not a good solution to call your voice mail and then get your pic.. ( often too Late)
I did saw the windows\******* in the past (the reg changed was done) noting happen
It look Like TELUS overlap the "windows/HTC" camera function.
What really bugging me is That I CAN'T find the "occ/wav/mp3/midi/audio" file that generate the shutter sound (w/total commander or explorer)
Is it possible that the file would be hidden in The ROM ? and Can't be change unless you move to a custom rom ?
I "kinda" scare to change my rom .. I really depand on my phone.. ( no line at home and I need it to open the door of my App) So I really need something 101% working.
Thanks for you help

etc..

I tried the cab, but it does not work on my TP 2, which is the Australian version. I have tried to play around with many reg edits but nothing is changed. Somebody in the other forum managed to modify the camerarc.dll for the Touch HD and Touch Diamond, and it worked for those phones. I wonder if there has been a DLL modification for the Touch Pro 2 version as well?
You may check this thread on modifying the DLL file on ther HTC model to silence the sound.
