Does anyone know a ROM or one ore more programs for using the HTC Wizard as "Car-PC" for Music, Navigation and Video?
That means a system with huge buttons and icons for easy input with fingers (e.g. the x-button is always too small...)
I'm doing something similar ..
windows media player & iGo
i've got a pioneer BT radio, so you can use the buttons there to play/pause music. Navigation and music at the same time is a bit hard on the processor though.
Thanks for your reply.
I've got Navigation and Music on different SD Cards because they cannot be run at the same time anyways.
My Wizard is connected to the car radio via cassette adapter, so I have to use the buttons on the phone. The HTC Audio Manager is pretty good but it lags, so I'm searching for other solutions.
The best thing would be to have an OS like on a PNA because I don't need any other programs or function anymore.

Well i notice more and more people joining my clubb of having the trubble of bad sound in there cars or Bluetooth Headsets Sins Htc Diamond Fails with the Equalizer totaly exapt for when you have a cabel headset.
The the Audiobooster or as i would like to call it Retardbooster sins the guy that came upp with it must be an idiot when more and more uses Bluetooth connection to there headset or Cars..
I have tried Audiomanager, S2p among other players and none of them had a equlizer that would work against the Bluetooth.
Sins the others did either not have any effekt @ all OR they only worked with a cabel headset.
I went and buyed Coreplayer sins i was going to use that anyway for watching movies when ever im not using my car. And WOLA!
Coreplayers Equalizer works in the Bluetooth sets ALLSO.
But here comes the but. It has its flaws. Skip and backwards command for cars of headsets does not work. And the buttons are so small theres no way i would try picking them when im driving my car. for others and mine safty.
BUT this Shows that a stand along Equalizing program thats using the inbuilt player should be np to make?
Why would i wanna use the one thats build in?
1. Skip and Backwards command works in cars and with BT headsets.
2. Toutch commands works
3. looks good.
I would have no problem using s2p if that would have a equalizing program that works towards BT sins its has about the same futures as the inbuilt one.
Please people Help me and the others with this problem. Cause if this problem would be gone then many of us would be less irritated by this problem.
it's my wishlist also, an equalizer which works with bluetooth headset and AVRCP which works with all media players, not only HTC music player and WMP.
I realy have been looking to solv this problem for a long time now. there are tons of program for other Htc phones but none will work on the diamonds BT problem sadly..
So is there no one that has a clue how to fix this problem with the diamond?

if you need big buttons, use MortPlayer

Well problem it that Mortplayer my or may not have toutch funktion. Im gonna check it out now.
The second one posted was not an option. Im not paying for a program that does the same things as coreplayer
If i am to pay again i will pay for getting a program that either can just emulate the sound for the inbuilt player.
Or a program that fits all the first options i was talking about.
Well Tried Mortplayer now and that one was worst then coreplayer.
It had bigger buttons and you could style it witch is a big +
But still its not paying any atentions to bluetooth commands like skip and backwards.
Both coreplayer and Mortplayer seems to be using another codec then the standard player in diamond (atleast that is what it seems like.)
Im more and more comming to the conclution that whats needed is just a EQUALIZER that equalizes the normal sound of the phone. Sins that is what the bluetooth is aiming it sounds towards....
So what we need is a stand alone equalizing program that can be activated without hearphones being connected.
im having the exact same issue with my touchpro and someone said come search in diamond forum and of course just problems no solutions
i will add mysalf behind the line, funny that there just a few replys...
also it woud be nice to use the htc radio over BT, jack sh**t, the EQ an RADIO to use with wired headset, i thought it is 2009?!?!!? microsoft?!?!
I use a program called pocket player. When you install it asks you if you want to install a plugin to work with bluetooth commands. I use it in my car and it works fine. Sound is great, fast buffering, bluetooth controls work fine. Give it a try. Maybe download the trial version first.
hope this helps.
Hi Folks,
thanks for a great discussions on this forum, it helped me a lot in some issues!
I have had a good idea of having a "universal" device since my first pda. And I thought I would get one with Diamond, but unfortunately... The issue is that am trying to use Diamond as a GPS device and a memory unit at the same in my car... I have an MP3 car radio with USB (incl. power supply), so what I am trying to get is:
-> Running GPS inside Diamond (e.g. Navigon)
-> Running car radio (supplying Diamond with power)
-> Car radio reads Diamond's internal flash memory over USB
Until now I only managed that Diamond's GPS running and getting power over USB (-> selected ActiveSync after plugging in the USB cable into car radio) OR Diamond's internal memory serving MP3s for my car audio and charging itself over USB.
So my question: Is it theoretically possbile to get what I want?
I know, setting Diamond as internal memory demounts the flash for external USB device and makes it unavailable for internal applications... And ActiveSync will never work with the car audio... And there is not enough space to place GPS maps into ROM... But probably you have some ideas or tweaks of apps, which could help me???
So what I tried was:
1. Creating two memory patritions my SD-card with my old XDA mini S and demounting them with WM5torage. It didn't work with mini S as WM5torage recognised only one created partition. It also didn't work with Diamond as I could not create two partitions on it (for several reasons).
2. I tried to find an extra soft app, which would "extend" ROM emulating it by using the space of the internal memory. Didn't work.
3. Use different USB modes...
So do you have an idea?
Thanks and regards,
schroschy

I've got the same kind of car radio... but I don't see any chance to get what you (and I) want. so get yourself a usb-memory-stick (with even more than 4 gb) or a second diamond
Anrgy...
Argh... I'm so f**king angry!
'Cause HTC Diamond Pro, which comes out in a couple of weeks, got 512 MB ROM and an external miniSD card slot - just enough to place a map of Germany or enough mp3's / ogg's on each sigle partition!
Bastards...
EDIT: But there MUST be a workaround! I can't believe it doesn't work! I heard Micro$oft is working on an alternative product to ActiveSync... Maybe it'll help us...
Any further suggestions?
a new radio...
i thought about a new radio with bluetooth. so you can play music with the diamond and use tomtom at the same time and hear both (music and commands) through the speakers in your car...
it's cheaper than buying a pro
there was an app for older pdas that would allow you to present the storage as a disk , i think you could also still access it from the pda
@cookie: you guess you mean WM5torage... i tried this one, it didn't work with xda mini s (qtek 9100). and it does not work with wm6.1 anyway...
@Herr_Knigge: i though about it... what you mean is basically using diamond's internal media player and transmitting audio via bluetooth, don't you? i will try it out next time at the media store and will share my experiences...
thus, if anyone has a good workaround / tweak / app to solve the problem - you are welcome
I'm curious about why you're so determined to get this to work... is it so that you don't have to buy a car charger kit?
Seriously, you can get a 4GB flash drive for peanuts
@Davey101:
well sure you can get an SD for peanuts, but hangig around with your sd-card plus cardreader plus all this chargers etc. is what i hate... why can't i have everything in one device???
@Herr_Kringe:
i had a small BT-test in the media store on firday. it worked fine (with some minor interruptions when loading) with sony mex bt 5000. however, i am not sure about the sound quality. sony supported special audio-streaming-mode and i started diamond's bluetooth-headset-mode... so i guess it was all mono sound. thus you can tweak it to joint stereo in diamond's regestry...
another thing i'm worried about using BT is the volume level. since the audio player is running in diamond and not in the car audio device, loudness maximization inside diamond could cause some distortions. and i am not sure if there is any sound wave normalization / limiting inside the bluetooth interface. i will do some more tests this week.
PS! another cool thing was that navigation speech was also heard in car radio over bluetooth there was kind of a loundess controller between player and navigation, so the player turned down the level to hear the navigation speech
Hi all,
I've recently gotten hold of this Touch Diamond after having migrated from the HTC Vox. On the Windows Mobile Smartphone platform, Windows Media Player had an option to "Resume Playback After Call", which I always disabled. However looking around the Diamond's WMP and TouchFlo audio players there doesn't appear to be an equivilent option on Windows Mobile Pro with TouchFlo.
The reason I need it is my USB->3.5mm adapter doesn't have a microphone. Therefore if I'm sitting on the train (or whatever) listening to music and a call comes in, I have to pull the headphones out and take the call (the built-in mic seems to be disabled when my adapter is inserted). Once the call is finished, music starts playing again but this time through the phone's speaker which I think might annoy those around me just a bit
I have tried the S2P application available elsewhere on this site, and while that works pretty well and seems to have that option, I much prefer the built-in HTC TouchFlo music-playing program so was wondering if anyone knew of any registry hacks or hidden menus?
Thanks in advance
First I would like to say thanks to everyone on this site I have found helpful info on everything so far....
The problem I am having is as follows, I use my phone for almost everything, as I am sure most of y'all do too. But I also use it for everything in my car, I only have a A2DP stero in the car, no cd etc etc... I stream all my music thru the phone (AT&T Fuze) run TomTom etc... the problem I am having that I didn't have with the Tilt is that when I press the next/back etc buttons it automaticlay brings WiMP to the front and hides TomTom, or other Media Players I may be using. This is really annoying, I mean going 75mph down the highway I can't just reach up there and click close everytime n the switch back to TomTom.... any help would be much appriciated.....
bump bump bump
I hate the way media player hijacks my bluetooth a2dp headphones when I want to use it with pocket music or coreplayer
pocket music has a plugin that overrides wmp's ad2p control. found this through dr. google
http://www.conduits.com/products/player/plugins.asp
I am having the same exact problem. It is extremely frustrating! This is the only thing i have not been able to fix on my Fuze and it is driving me nuts! I have tried the stock ATT rom, various cooked roms, and am currently using HTC rom 5.05.405.1 WWE with radio 1.11.25.01. I have also tried multiple BT Stereo devices including Moto T505 and Gold Lantern mbsh-c3.2 having same results on both. However, i have noticed that occasionly it will function correctly allowing me to play/pause prev/next without tomtom losing focus. This is completely random and i am unable to reinact this on demand. If you find out anything else, please let me know.
Also having this problem
Also having this problem.
I'm using "A2DP Toggle" in combination with "auto a2dp manager" to auto connect my HTC touch HD to my car stereo. This works fine.
Then, in a perfect world I would like to start pocket player instead of media player when i press "next" on my car stereo.
Then once I've started tomtom and I press next again to go to the next track TomTom should stay on top. Or even better show my pocket player playlist for 5 seconds and return to tomtom.

Capt. T's BT driver! Works for me!
Hi there,
Ever since I have my Touch Diamond and My cherished Nokia A2DP headset, I've been enjoying wireless music, calling and everything at the touch of a few buttons on my headset.
Recently I finally flashed to winmo 6.5, and I also decided that Touchflo was costing me too much precious memory. So I flashed to a nice clean rom (BsB).
Everything cool so far, that is, until I tried my BT headset. With out the touchflo player you're automatically dependent on windows media player, and if there is one piece of software that makes listening to music a b*tch it's wmp. So I installed pocketmusic. Everything fine so far. but the controls on my bt headset stubbornly only work with AND automatically start WMP. very irritating. after extensive searching of the beloved XDA forums I found out that this was a known problem. WMP Hijacking BT controls.
And finally it appeared I had found the solution: T-back's 6.5 BT driver.cab
This was supposed to give back the control of Bluetooth to the program running at the moment. all the coments left in said thread were joyous, it works, it's alive...
So I installed it, and too my suprise it did indeed stop WMP from hijacking the controls and also assigned the controls to pocketmusic...
Unfortunatly it also stopped the audio from going to my Bt headset, which kind of beats the purpose of a bluetooth headset.
So now I'm back to listening to music without T-back's driver, on my BT headset, and having to control my music on screen, which is a little irritating.
I've allready replied to the thread in hopes of getting a solution or something, but unfortunatly no reply.
I'm hoping someone beter technically endowed than me can give me a solution for this problem, this is the only thing standing between me, and my perfect rom!
HELP
Note, I tried this on 2 different winmo 6.5.1 rom's (benko's clean and the BsB 6.5.1)
note2: could this maybe be something having to do with the difference between 6.5 and 6.5.1?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You should install the two files from these posts.
With this one you can toggle a2dp manually once your headset is connected:

The following makes it toggle automatically after you connect your headset:

(you should have the t-back driver installed as well)
Worked for me, using the bsb 6.5.1g rom and s2p media player.
