I did this...

b) set ring volume as player volume
Copy file farfield_play.apf to any folder of PC, rename it to farfield_ring.apf and copy back. So file farfield_ring.apf in phone is replaced by file with settings of farfield_play.apf.
Now we have 2 same files but different names.

But I'm not happy with the result, who has the original farfield_ring.apf so I can return to the original?
TIA

@kenji,

Try the w810 ones.
They work quite well.

If it doesn't work,tell me.

Hi!

Please help me out with this by giving step by step details.
I went to that other thread mentioned in this thread above but couldn't understand anything.



The steps are very simple, very straight forward, you don't need any more simple steps that what's already here. And if you have read the material thoroughly, and still haven't any idea what's going on, then you may probably shouldn't touch the phone. You can damage the phones software, and without knowing what you are doing may not be able to fix it.

Auto Playlist Creator Thanks to Ushakov
After creation of file list *.pml in mp folder you must move it by FAR plugin to fs/tpa/system/multimedia/mp/pl of the phone. Now you can create common playlist of all the folders (Like in All Music) incl. subfolders. It's fantastic.
P.S. Wait a bit. Coming soon in English.

OK. Now it's in English! Use and say thanks to Ushakov

Reminder : Remember to always back-up the files that you're going to change. And also,do this at your own risk. Good luck

a) You can expand your SMS Memory:
http://forum.unlock.no/index.[....]st=0&p=55541�entry55541

1. Browse to the folder /ifs/settings/messaging/ with FAR Manager
2. select pref_store.txt an hit F4
3. Just change "/smsdata" in "/tpa"
4. Save the changes
5. go back to "root" like mb-new description and shutdown the loader
6. Now restart your Phone and be happy

b) set ring volume as player volume
Copy file farfield_play.apf to any folder of PC, rename it to farfield_ring.apf and copy back. So file farfield_ring.apf in phone is replaced by file with settings of farfield_play.apf.
Now we have 2 same files but different names.

c) killing camera sound
go to FS/tpa/preset/system/sound and delete file camerashutter.3gp and for killing autofocus sound delete file camerafocus.3gp.

d) killing MobilePrint
go to FS/tpa/preset/system/ams and delete MOBILEPRINT.jad and MOBILEPRINT.jar and have additional 361kb free memory. Unnecessary standard games & midlets are in FS/tpa/preset/default/java and to be deleted if you wish. In FS/tpa/preset/wizard you can delete 5 biggest by size GIF files.

e) Change sms sounds
FS/tpa/preset/system/sound

delete message alert and put new one but with same name (messagealert1,messagealert2....)

f) get rid of discharge battery sound
go to FStpapresetsystemsoundlowbattery.mid and replace it the same name file with zero size.

g) Shutdown Sound
navigate to /fs/tpa/preset/system/settings

place any mp3 in there and rename to SHUTDOWN_SOUND_SEMC.mp3 and it will play it when you shut down the phone.

h) Change your menu layout (K750/W800)
Just go here. Learn about it there.
Se-nse "Pimp Your Main Menu"
And here.
Se-nse How to

i) Change video recording quality
Go here using FAR. FS/ifs/settings/camera
Edit the driver.
Change the video recording to:

VR_NORMAL_MODE_FR=44;
VR_NIGHT_MODE_FR=28;


You can learn more about it here.
Se-nse "Patching Camera Driver"

j) Get Rid of Hissing in Music Playback (Thanks to aksd)
With the FAR plugin replace these files located at: ifs/settings/acoustic

with:
http://rapidshare.de/files/23376730/No_Hissing.rar.html
Aksd's thread is located over here.
Aksd "Hissing Noise"

k) Backup your jar files
Go to tpa/perset/system/ams/
And copy the files in there to your computer.

j)Removing the SE Links in folders
Go here tpapresetsystemcustmenu, and
tpapresetcustom

Removing all the files from the custmenu folder, and all the .itm files from the second custom folder successfully removed the content hooks, as well as resetting my Play Now icon to the default SE one.

itm's are tar files with images and xml files inside. The itm sits in presetcustom and get's unpacked to presetsystemcustmenu on master reset. So DESKTOP_HOOK_1.itm contents get unpacked to
presetsystemcustmenuDESKTOP_HOOK_1 when the phone is reset.

yeah. i did that one too. i really liked how the ringtones sounded afterwards... but i thought the volume was just too low.
so it's a compromise... volume or quality...

anyways, here's the original file...

You should try the files I gave.
It's the w810 ones.
It worked well for me.

you have to save it, then get rid of the mp3 extension, so that it's just .rar
then you open it.

@ g-roxx0304

i tried out those files you posted.
thanks! they're really good.
they make everything louder...
i like it.
