REQ: Sliding KeyPad Sound CAB
 

I would like to try this app out on my Apache XV6700 - THANKS IN ADAVANCE :D

Is there one already? I just wrote one :P

This should work on any QVGA device and includes 2 small test wavs.


(See next post)

New version, 1.06.

Installation & Usage:
1. Unzip the zip file.
2. Move SlideSoundService.exe to \Windows.
3. Move SlideSound.exe and the wav files wherever you like.
4. Run SlideSound.exe and set up your options. They will take affect immediately.
5. Press the "Ok" button to close the config window, and you're done.

Optionally you can place a shortcut to SlideSound.exe in your Start Menu. The config panel will handle the startup shortcut for you based on your choice.

v1.07 Download at http://tiermann.net
- I changed the code to use the rotation angle instead of screen size. This should make it compatible with VGA devices now as well. Not only that, but it eliminated the reference to system.Display alltogether which is a good thing. If you're having conflicts with any other programs, try this version and let me know if it changes anything for you.
- Placed in a cab file for quick installation on PPC. Puts all files where they need to be and creates a Start Menu\Programs link.

v1.06
- Changed the code to use systemproperty.DisplayRotation.Changed event instead of pooling. Should fix the half a sec delay.
- I'm still working on getting the launched applications to work correctly. Problem is that windows sets the last active app as active again after the redraw from changing orientation.

v1.05
- I made it a little smarter when running the SlideSoundService. You shouldn't get duplicates anymore.
- I added the ability to set an application to run on slideIn or Out. It's completely optional and disabled by default. You can also delete the default entries and press "Set" if you just want a program to run on slideIn as opposed to both, etc.
- Changed the interface a bit to make room for the new options. All fields are also editable by a sip now instead of having to browse or change reg keys. Your new edited choice can be tested with the "Play" or "Test" buttons before it's set.

v1.04
- Removed the minimize button from the SlideSound.exe form so that it exits when pressing "ok". (not everyone uses HTC-Xbutton or Wisbar and there's no reason to run it in the background anyway.)

v1.03
- Fixed a problem with the config app not starting the service when you first run it.

v1.02
- Split SlideSound into 2 programs. (A config panel and a background service)
- Added option to start/stop the service and also set it to run on startup.

Many Thanks
 

You made my 6700 day

I'm glad you like it :)

kewl...I like this A lot!

Tiermann I install "SlideSoundService.exe" into the windows folder. And "SlideSound.exe" and the wav files into "Program Files/SlideSound"
And when i run SlideSound.exe it doesn't see any wav files. I doesn't seem to see some of the first tier folder on the phone.
like windows folder or program files folder. but it see's all the first tier folder on the memory card.

I ask because i made it into a cab file. The cab installs the wav files and Slidesound.exe into /Program Files/SlideSound/ and SlideSoundService.exe into /windows/
And makes a shortcut to slidesound.exe.

When it install it only seems so see the mc wav files.

Yeah, sorry. It's a limitation of the .Net Framework's FileDialog. It won't let you look in certain folders like \Windows. I left the textbox writable though so you can type in any file, like \Windows\Alarm1.wav and hit set. SlideSound itself can use a wav from anywhere, just the file dialog can't see some places.

If you're using a cab file, you can set the default wavs in the registry too to make it easier.
Eventually I need to write my own file dialog for PPC, then I can throw it in all my apps instead of using MS's.

would anyone be willing to post the default slide sounds from the ppc-6800?

v1.06 is also available in a cab file. Link is in my signature.

Default 6800 Sliding Sounds
 

Ask and you shall receive ;-)

thank you:headbang:

Awesome
 

tiermann and everyone else.. nice app! =D> made my TyTN a little cooler :headbang:

Now to look for some nice sounds...

how about light up keyboard on slide out?

I'm not sure about turning on the keyboard light yet, but I also had a request to turn on the backlight if it was off. I'm going to look into both, as well as moving the sounds into Sounds & Notifications in control panel so they're available from there and from the slidesound config. That should make them availabe as a notification I can trigger as opposed to playing the sound through an API, so you'll be able to use midi, mp3, wma, etc.

Something to look forward to in next version if I can get it going.

thanks!!..............

Hello,

Great program...thanks. Just a quick question......I hear the normal open / close tones and then it plays the audio file that I pointed the program to afterward. How do I stop the normal tones so that I hear only the audio file that I have picked to play? By the way....I used version 1.6 on my mogul.

Thanks very much

Mogul has sliding sounds built in. There's a thread over in the mogul section that deals with changing those sounds. I'll take a look and post a link to it.

What I can do for better mogul compatibility is have it either disable those sounds and use slidesound's api, or maybe even have slidesound not play a sound but rather use mogul's built-in sound feature and just change the sound file through slidesound. I need to read through that thread.

I unchecked the play box in the slider sounds in settings..........that did it! Thanks

I found that other thread. Interesting stuff I'll have to test out.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=sliding+sound

Would make sense to have it use the native sliding sound schemes that mogul already has.

Glad you got it figured out for now :)

FANTASTIC... Thanks very much tiermann. Another user referenced this app at XDA. I love it.

Cheers

Awesome... This program doesn't work for me what-so-ever. It just tells me "Can't Open SlideSoundService", then the program comes up, but doesn't actually effect anything. Nothing I've done has worked. I followed the instructions EXACTLY, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Oh well...

-Touche'

If you're getting that message, SlideSoundService.exe probably isn't in \Windows. A cab version can be downloaded from my site (http://tiermann.co.nr) which will place everything where it needs to be.

hi this was working the first day i installed it now i get an error saying to quit or view the error..im using wm6 on my pp6700 sprint. is there anything im doing wrong thanks

View the error and post it here please.

Um, I just installed 1.07 and it has locked up my phone upon restart. It's sitting at the green Windows Mobile splash screen and will not go into Windows.

Any advice?

hey guys, Is there any way to solve the sound delay when i slide my mda aka wizard in and out... i tried version 1.06 and 1.07 and i still have delay problems...

im getting unexpected error when i slide my keyboard im runnning wm6 clean no junk....what do you mean by copy exe to /window and copy the folder to wherever i want...this isthe error l" win32exception at system.diagnostics.process.startwithshellexecuteex ()atsystem.diagnostics.process.start(),...etc..... ......"

Try 1.07. There's a self-installing cab file on my site that will set it all up for you.
I'm not sure what all is in the "clean, no junk" rom, but if it doesn't have a proper install of .net CF 2.0 or higher then you will get similar errors.

Give you some info...to help figure this one out.

I have the CNJ ROM installed too. With Lazyboy's iphone theme (WA2 and WAD). I use your dialer skinning app too.

.NET install is ok. My company produces another app for the device and that's working ok with the newer .net framework in the ROM.

Interesting thing with your 1.07 though. It installs with no problems. The slide out sound works. BUt as soon as you close the keyboard... it errors out with the errors cited earlier.

I'm trying to screen cp the error, but the damn thing comes up for a second and then disappears.

Then it seems to stop it from working - even though according to the UI,, slide sound is still running.

EDIT: after it appears to lock up - it also causes a problem with the phone app. I can't get the phone app to open. Had to uninstall slidesound, SR and then I could get back in the phone.

What can I do from here to help? Would it help you to connect remotely to my device and peek around? We can schedule something if you want. I have all sorts of remote and chat tools available through my company.

Lemme know.

Working fine for me. Just discovered this one, thanks.

just installed your slide sounds app on my att 8525 with the new wm6 rom from htc. everything works great. Thanks!

Good to see this working on some other devices as well. I've had PM's that it's working on some tmobile phones, etc. Not bad for only having an apache to work with.

Not saying the software is bad, but i did have a conflict on my mogul. It would play the sounds once and then the program would shut down. I went ahead and did the reg edits and added 2 new keys for Transforming and Light Saber sounds.......Zach is a "Jedi" Name i guess. Found the reg edit on xda. here is the link, and i suggest you do a search for ce regedit, real nice program.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319300

Those regedits will work for HTC Sliding Sound on mogul, yes. Mogul has the feature already built in so it will need to be disabled if you plan to run SlideSound.

Hey guys, Ive installed this on my wifes apache with wm5 and im getting a .net framework error saying that it requires a newer version. Any ideas what version I need to step this up for her? any help is greatly appreciated. thanks


Alan

2.0 or higher

tiermann, is there anyway to reduce the sound delay when i slide out and in my htc wizard.

...................

im really interested in this app but it doesnt seem 2 b workin for my 8525. im running wm5 and it says this error similar to the other guy sayin sumthin about .network isnt compatable? i put the soundservice in windows and the cab file with the wav files in program files and wen i try to run the cab file it gives the same error message
