yes.

Cody has been kind enough to create two different cab files. One will remove it completely and the other allows you to control if you want it on or off in the today screen. Both files are attached below

For those of you using Palringo and want to enable Facebook chat, attached is the cab file to do so.

Slow down the speed of the Voice Command lady:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices

change "DefaultTTSRate" from 4 to 5 to speed up or to 2 or 3 to slow down. Takes effect instantly.

Charger Connect/Disconnect Sound

Hate the Be-Doop noise when you plug/unplug to charge? So do I.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume

ChargerConnectSound
ChargerDisconnectSound

Under each, there is a string value called "File". Under the string, just change the sound file from "ChargerConnect.mid" to "ChargerConnect.old" (so you can put back if you want), or just delete. Don't matter.

I created two cab files for the changes above . I tested them and they work.

A little background...
HTC released a fix for the audio skipping on the GSM Diamond and Touch HD. I tried that cab on my Treo Pro and it hung my device, had to hard reset. Someone with a CDMA Touch Pro finally figured out what was modified and then created his own Raphael patch. So, I also tried that cab and it broke my USB, power and audio. Long story short, I disassembled the patched dll, figured out what the change was, and created a patch for the Sprint Treo Pro. The result is that I can now play music skip-free.

The bug is that one of the threads in a core HTC dll runs at too high a priority (real-time), and when it's active it interferes with the audio driver; this patch lowers the priority of the offending thread.

Installation (Sprint only):
1) Install sdkcerts.cab
2) Install STPAudioSkipFix.CAB
3) Soft-reset
4) If you are using Coreplayer, go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced and make sure that "Higher priority music playback" is checked

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON A GSM Treo Pro!!
