I've been thinking about this on and off for the last three months, but there has to be a way to change the shutter sound on the camera on my Touch Pro. I went into the registry and found HKey_Local_Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\Common . At the end of the contents, there is a string named: SourceOfSnapSound with value data: \Windows\Snap.wav. I wanted to try to change this to a monkey sound that i created as a wave file, so I copied & pasted Chimpy.wav into the Windows file, then changed the value data to \Windows\Chimpy.wav. The Chimpy wave file is only 1 second or so long. Then when i went to take another picture, the shutter sound did not work. I restored the original registry settings back to \windows\snap.wav and it went back to original. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
This does work now. All you must do is as follows: Thanks go to everyone that helped us get this!
(No1ustad dunked the shot that finally got it working!)
1. Turn the shutter sound off in camera settings.
2. Copy & Paste
ShutterSound.wav into the "\" directory.
3. Change registry settings as follows:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Common string
value name:
SourceOfSnapSound
value data:
\ShutterSound.wav
4. Turn the shutter sound on in camera settings.
5. Soft-reset.
Note: I do not recommend doing this/testing this inside a very quiet library, as i did, because i just couldn't wait to try it again. lol...
FINAL EDIT:
Okay, so I went ahead and created the CAB file for this, and attached it both to this post and a post in the 4th page. I also have a rapidshare link for it as well. Once you download the CAB, just install it to the device memory(25kb) and then take a photo. If you uninstall it, it will switch back to the original shutter sound without a soft reset. This was tested on both the Touch Pro and the Touch Diamond. Thanks!
