here's another great guide made by nanoali. With this tutorial, you can change the original sounds like low bat, connecting the phone to charge, ending a call, etc

We need:

USB cable
Correctly installed drivers
P2KTools correctly working

Editing WAV sound software (you can use the stock sound recorder from windows) the WAV file quality must be 8khz, 8 bits and mono.

So, to change it, just edit seem 0032_001
Offset 82 bit 6 - “WAV_UI_AVAILABLE� - “KEYTONE� (check it)
Offset 6D bit 6 - “INTERPRETE_KEY_PRESS_AVAILABLE� (check it)

Upload your customs WAV files to: /a/ (the files must have specific names, see below for more information.)

Restart your phone and voila, you have the customized sound
here are the names you must use:

LBatChrg.wav ---> start batt charge
LEndList.wav ---> end batt charge or end of serie
LBatLow.wav ---> Advert low batt
LKeyMenu.wav ---> Accesing to "menu" via menu key
LKeySend.wav ---> send key or calling
LScroFst.wav ---> fast scrool
LKeyEnd.wav ---> end key
LError.wav ---> errr sound
LScroll.wav ---> normal scroll
LKeyHold.wav ---> holding the menu key for a shortcut
LSoftKey.wav ---> joystick key sound
LCalTimr.wav ---> 1 min beep on a call
LDevDrop.wav ---> disconnecting device
LDevCnct.wav ---> connecting device
LNegate.wav ---> you can do the feature you whish
LCalDrop.wav ---> Error of network or wap
LConfim.wav ---> there is no confirm
LDelText.wav ---> delete text

Personal Note:
If you delete the files, the phone will use the normal sounds again, theres no danger of anything.

Nice addition. Will get it to guide soon.

[Archer]

Will be posting some soundpacks soon too

[Kevhicks]

Can't wait to try this out

[Insanedrunk]

@ArcherIV I know your going to release a soundpack,but does anybody have a battery sound?

[Archer]

I'ts gonna take a lil while for me to post them, but you can contact inDria in MotoX

[Insanedrunk]

Ok ill try that.

Use at your own risk


You must have bootloader 7.D0 installed on the V3, 8.xx bootloaders such as 8.23 and 8.26 will not work.

If you have bootloader 7.E0, 8.23 or 8.26 downgrade the bootloader first. Here is the bootloader downgrade flash.

Things Needed:

The modded firmware (no rsa security) . This modded firmware already has the RSA protection removed by FlashBackup version 2.62.
MotoRawConverter GUI
RSD Lite - Google for it.
SHX Codec
176x220 .gif image
.shx drm flash

Ok lets get started….

First things first, lets get our 176x220 .gif images turned into .RAW images using the motorawgui converter.

Now as you can see I have everything I need in this folder, this makes things alot easier. You’ll see my 2 .gif images, the moto converter, my drm, the modded .17r no RSA firmware.



1. Double click on the MotoRawConverter GUI. Once it pops up click the “Browse” button.



2. Locate the folder containing the .gif images you want to convert to the splash screens. Left click on the folder and then click ok



3. Now, you need to click the "GIF2RAW" Button in the converter. You won’t see anything happen. This is normal.



4. Close the converter. We are now done with that part.



5. Open SHXCoDec.



6. Click the little folder icon, and then locate the DRM that you want to insert the custom splashes into.




7. Now click the “Split source SHX file” button, you will see the drm split into 2 items. Double click the one that says DRM (graphics) and the DRM editor will open.



8. Now in the DRM Editor, click the “Parse” button. You will see the list fill up.



9. Scroll down so you can the #65 an #66 entrys. This is where we are inserting our new .RAW images into the DRM.

10. Highlight the #65 entry and then click the “Replace” button. Now locate the folder with the new .RAW images and select the image of your choice and then click open. You will now get a screen asking about the size, it should already be at 176x220. If it is, click Ok. If its not, your original .gifs were not 176x220, and you'll need to fix that issue.



11. Highlight the #66 entry and follow the same steps as step #10 (but this time it’s the #66 obviously)

12. Now click the “Save Changes” button, and you can then name this to whatever you want.

13. Now close the DRM editor, and you’ll be back to this screen.

14. Now with the DRM still highlighted, click the “Replace” button. Now locate the .smg we just saved in step # 12 and then click open.

15. Click the “Complie SHX” button, pick a name to save your new drm.

SHXcoDec will complie then new .shx file. Once its finished, you can close shxcoDec.

16. Now open RSD Lite.

17. Once your phone is connected, click the “…” button and locate Custom DRM you saved in step #14 and click open.

18. Click start and flash the DRM to the phone.



19. Once it is finished, you now need to flash the modded no RSA firmware to the phone.

20. Once the new firmware is flashed, you should have your new custom splash.


With this modded V3 firmware, the splash screen locations are now in the DRM in locations 65 and 66.

To switch between the 2 splash screens in the DRM, edit seem 004A_0001, offset 1C0, set the hex value 00 for DRM 65 (hellomoto) or set to hex value 01 for DRM 66 (welcome). There really ISN'T any seem editing required if you only use 1 image.

Also remember if you plan on changing the DRM, you'll need to reinsert the .RAW images into it.

Sexy. I'll get it up today, along with the custom startup/shutdown.

[Cody Overcash]

Today became tonight and I have handled it poetic

[Kyle Matthews]

Holla.

[TheCaptainChaos]

What's the sound needed to change the sound for the number keys?

[Plattus]

Soo I don't do something too drastic. I'm right in understanding that the new wav files have to be 8bits? No larger no smaller?
I want to make a phone modded to a star trek theme for my Mom the fan. I had hoped to make the sounds match the theme, skins and drm icons. I've got the SSaver, Startup and Shutdown animations and plenty of sounds for ring and alert tones but wanted to add system sounds if I could. I'm pretty sure they're all a bit bigger than 8bits, more like 15-30kbs am I hosed?

[Archer]

Well, i ahve only tried with them, but it wont hurt if you try to upload those. The guy that made this guy explained me that it was important, but who knows....

Modding is like the good old days of Kirk or Archer....
