Does anyone else think that MIDI playback on the Kaiser (mine is a T-Mobile Vario III) is much poorer than on other hardware? I have a number of polyphonic midi files which made great ringtones on my old Vario, but on the Vario III they sound tinny and incomplete - it's as though it is only playing a limited number of voices, so that some of the channels in the mix are not being played at all and parts of the music are missing.
For example, in both of the attached midi files the melody part is missing when played the Vario III (even when played in WMP mobile) but they play fine on my old Vario I or in WMP on my PC.
Andre
I noticed the same thing and had to edit some of the midi files with a midi editor to simplify them.
[Double post]
Does anyone know the specific limitations of the latest [sic] midi player then? Which midi channels does it play?
Another retrograde step from HTC.
Andre
It seems like something wrong with the file "htcmidi.avd" which is in OEMAPPS,
It's only 303 KB but in Hermes it's 540 KB,
I guess some polyphony lost in the smaller file,
You could try to replace it with the bigger one.

Bingo, that solved the problem. I copied in the version of HTCMIDI.AVD from my old Vario (size 540K) and that worked fine and plays a LOT better than the one supplied with the Vario III - all the midi channels seem to play, and the sound is now much 'richer' and less tinny. Many thanks for the suggestion! BTW, if anyone else wants to try it, both devices have this file located in their \WINDOWS\ directory. No reboot seems necessary.
Now, does anyone know if there are any advantages to the newer version of this file, or other issues I might discover later?
Andre
Can you post the file up for others to compare?

Sure, try the attached file. It's from a first generation T-Mobile Vario, but the ROM is MrCleanROM 2.24a so it'll be a standard-issue HTC file I suspect. As always, please make a backup of the original version in your \windows\ directory before continuing! It worked for me, anyway.
Andre
I also have a Wizard and a TyTN II and I have not had this problem with Mid files. On the contrary, if anything, they sound better on my TyTN II.

I used the attached file but it plays the midi exactly the same as before.
Is here someone who can play the midi in the same way as on pc?
For those who don't have the limited channel midi playback problem, could you check the size of the HTCMIDI.AVD file on your device? Is it 540KB, or smaller?

Works for me.
Rename MP3Trimmer.exe.0409.mui to MP3Trimmer.exe.0407.mui
you have to use TotalCommander for this.
so, If I backrom my kaiser to a non-manilla rom, I can use this? awesome.

I feel like installing applications in general
but features like this :
• Add Audio Silence! In an MP3 file, silence isn't just zeroes. The silent part must be encoded in exactly the same way as the rest of the file. Previously, adding silence to MP3 files could be tricky.
But MP3 Trimmer uses a clever approach to the problem; It will simply copy a portion from within the song (of desired length) to the beginning or end of your MP3 file, and change the gain of that portion to 0%. The result is complete silence that is encoded in exactly the same way as the rest of the song, without re-encoding and quality loss!
You can even use this feature when batch processing numerous files, or using the Auto-Trim feature!
• QT-import - The import parser now performs a thorough scan inside QuickTime mov-containers for valid MP3 data. In short, this means if you edit MP3 files (with cut, copy & paste) inside the QuickTime player * - and save it as a QuickTime movie file (.mov) - you can import the .mov into MP3 Trimmer and re-save it as a 100% valid MP3.
• Batch processing further improved and more accurate now. The batch analysis routine is better to identify files that need repair. In addition, the Auto-create filename feature is more reliable now. The Batch repair feature will also try harder to maintain valid ID3 tag data during repair.
• Sort out good / bad files – New option in Batch processing mode; When performing 'Analysis only' you can choose to collect either all good files (that don't need repair) or all broken files (that need repair) in a specified destination folder. Time-saving when you wish to quickly sort out files based on their condition.
• A long time suggestion was implemented; upon completion of various tasks - if Trimmer is in the background - it will bounce the dock icon for attention.
• Smarter file renaming in Batch mode. If a duplicate file was found when attempting to save or copy during batch processing, MP3 Trimmer will simply add incremental numbering to the filenames and save the files whithout reporting any errors.
• Even more handsome – Finally, MP3 Trimmer got a new icon and a slightly redesigned main window interface.
(* Although it's possible to edit with the QuickTime player, it's not recommended since the QT player cannot stop you from performing "invalid" edits (according to MPEG ISO-standards).
Hi,
I am the one of the very few who found the MP3 Trimmer in the Diamond very useful. I have been flashing cook ROMS and some cooks actually remove this app from the releases. Can anyone point me to the right direction where I can download the installer for this app ?
All I can find is this version in the first screenshot (image on the left) but I am looking for the version as in the second screenshot (image on the right).
Thanks.

Yes, this is what I am looking for but it is weird. I installed this and open it and it's so small. I think this one is for QVGA devices. Please look at the screen shot attached. Does anyone has the original VGA version of the MP3 Trimmer ?
No one have this app ?

Can't find it in that thread.. It is also a QVGA..
I think if you install this version of audiomanager (Follow included instructions and install to the storage card) it includes the old HTC trimmer re-sized to VGA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407145&highlight=audiomanager
But could be wrong.
You access it via Audiomanager and selecting any song and then "Set as Ring-tone". At the bottom left is the option to trim it.
I found this on my computer, can't remeber where I found it...
Haven't tested it, but I hope it's the real thing...

MP3 Trimmer problems
I'm trying to use this on my HTC Touch Pro. I'm able to trim a song, put it in the "my ringtones" folder, it plays great when I test it, but when I call the phone....no sounds. In fact, I have my phone on 'vibrate, then ring" and it does not vibrate either, no vibration, no ring.
Anyone help?
does not work on htc tp2 winmo6.5
tried every download on my touch pro2 with dutch winmo 6.5, but non of them works. does anyone know how come?
Anyone???
Guys, if anyone actualy gets this program to work, could you check out my thread and explain to me what i have done wrong? I can not get the stock program to actualy trim any mp3's. Here is the link
Click here to help me please
Diamond MP3 Trimmer is working fine on my Fuze. Following the same steps as you describe in your thread; Play song, tap Start Point (for start of ringtone), tap End Point (for end of ring tone). Tap Menu/Save As to give the file a unique name. With Save As, the ringtone is saved in the same folder as the original music file. You can move it to your preferred ringtone folder (I usually keep a backup copy on my Storage Card).
Are start point and end point desplaying the the time span for your ringtone? How long is your ringtone (just curious-don't think it matters)? Are you giving the file a different name? The trimmer prefixes all files with RT- by default.
Hello everyone, new diamond owner and new to this forum, which I found while trying to sort out a TCPMP to work on my shiny new phone.
So, a thousand thanks to MilesMowbray for posting the cab that installs correctly under WM6.
But when I try to open one of my divx (.avi) files I get an “unknown file format” error message.
I’ve checked the file associations and the .avi wasn’t checked, so I activated it. In fact I activated them all to be sure I wasn’t missing something.
Further searching revealed a link to an extract from "bender's big score" which I downloaded and am able to read perfectly!
The demo files that come with mobile divx player also work fine on TCPMP.
I thought it might be a problem with my film conversion.
So I tried TWO films that I had watched perfectly succesfully using TCPMP on my old PPC, an Orange SPV C600 (rebranded HTC with WM5) Copied the actual file from the old phone onto the Diamond:
"unknown file format"
All the converted files play perfectly on the PC
OK so maybe it's not the conversion.
I have always used the excellent Pocketdivxencoder, I've tried the Smartphone, PPC & PPCVGA output settings to no avail.
Can any of you give me a pointer as to what I could try next?
Many thanks in advance.

When I upgraded to the WM6.1 (RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe), I found that my videos with file extension ".3gp" will no longer play.
I get a simple Windows Media error "Cannot play the file".
When I reverted back to the original WM6 the one that came with my AT&T Tilt (RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.14.09R2_Ship.exe), my .3gp files would play normally.
Does anyone know why this is the case?
Thanks in advance.
TCPMP-0.72RC1 can handle .3gp files. Google the .cab
Hope that helps.

This cab won't work.
Hmmm... well this sucks... Right now, I'm not seeing any "value add" for my upgrading to WM6.1 The only thing I'm seeing differently is the threaded IM's, the zoom feature in IE, and the time "plug in" to the Today screen. Of these, the only real value to me is the Today screen. But since I use SPB mobile shell, it's somewhat redundant!
Am I missing any other feature?

Sorry, I should told you to go to Options>Settings>Select Page>File Associations and make sure MPEG4 files (MP4,MOV,3GP.... is checked.
Hope you didn't already uninstall TCPMP.
My 6.1 plays 3gp files... strange thing is that when copying them to my device, I receive an error msg stating that WM 6.1 can copy the file for storage or transportation but will not be able to play the file, or something along those lines. However the file plays fine
Any more on this? I cant get .3GP files to play at all on my phone... Im running 6.1 on my tilt..
Players available:
TCPMP 0.71 RC1 Recomp 03
Pocket Tunes 4.1.1.2046
They will both play *.3gp perfectly fine.
Thank you very much. Your 4shared is amazing

Friends,
I am a very big fan of SRS on the Raphael and I tell you the application plugin is pain to get working. As everyone has written before my post, it either works or it doesn't on their device. There are a few versions out there floating around and it does require a lot of trial and error in order to get the sound wanted from the plugin.
Now, before I start I have been through three Raphael phones due to hardware problems that I had to send back for RMA replacement. I am now on my fourth phone and hope it stays that way for a long time!
On two of the raphael phones, I was not recieving the full punch of SRS wow with the extra bass, compression, surround sound etc.. But on the other two same identical phones I had no problems with the full sound. At the present, if I listen to a song - doesn't matter the song I hear the bass thumping into my chest.. Sometimes, it can be annoying and other times the balence that srs brings out between all instruments is amazing. This is where SRS does a beautiful job bringing out the extra heavey bass without muffling the other sounds. If you think your srs is working but doesn't deliever the bass thumping in your chest as I describe for your mp3 playback phone, then it's truely not working...
I have included my screen shots, registry edits and the different device information for you to plow through and compare. Now, remember this is for the AT&T Raphael pocket pc phone.
Steps
1. Install SRS_WOW_HD 121.CAB and reboot the ppc
2. Install WOWHD_ARM_Panel.cpl - copy this file directly to \windows folder. It might take a few seconds to copy.
3. Change the registry entries before going into the app.
4. Goto: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
5. Change "Flags"=dword:00010000 to "Flags"=dword:00010002 (Note: Energy Rom 3.0 I had to add the Flag Value)
6. Launch SRS WOW from the settings and use the screen shot I supplied. I like the heavey bass thumping sound, so these are my settings.
SRS Software Versions
I could not get the other software versions to work with the raphael phone. So for SRS to work 121 is the only one that works. Don't waste your time trying the others....just use 121
Now, how do you figure out if your Raphael phone will produce the sound with SRS WOW as I mentioned above? That is a good question because it definitely comes down to the electronics in the device that HTC puts into the device. Should SRS WOW work on all devices "YES" but as I expressed earlier, it does not. I have already been through four phones and two worked and two didn't. (Same settings, reg edits, radio, spl etc). So there is something between the devices that delivers better performance with SRS.
Stats Information on PPC
Rom Version Tested in ROMeOS or Energy 3.0 (no problems)
Radio Version: RUU_1.02.25.32 (AT&T Stock Radio)
Music Players Tested: S2P, Touchflo Music Player (no problems)
IMEI - first ten digits I noticed a trend between phones. "15" works and "12" does not. I verified this with the other two phones and the one that did work also had a "15"..
3531420212 SRS doesn't work (Old Phone)
3531420215 SRS works (New Phone)
SPL
RAPH110
SPL-1.90.Olinex
MicroP-Raph (LED) v13
MicroP-Raph (Key) v5
PSOC-Raph Stage_CVT v0x36
R: 1.02.25.32
G: 52.39c.25.22
D: 1.9xromeos (RomeOS) or Energy Rom 3.0
Mac Address
I also noticed that the two phones that SRS wow did work on the mac addresses were close and similar, the other two were different.
I would honestly for those really interested in having SRS on their phone for the Raphael users, definitely use ROMeOS rom and radio I listed.
It will take some trial and error deffinitely. But in the meantime, the application SRS wow has to be handled with kid gloves in order to real deliver the sound.
Also, take note and back everything up before making changes to your ppc.
Please note that I am not the person who originally figured out how to change the registry values. Not too sure who the author was, so I can't make that claim only pass on to others what helped me.
Good luck and hope you enjoy.
Tvos
Hi tvos,
You mentioned "6. Launch SRS WOW from the settings and use the screen shot I supplied. I like the heavey bass thumping sound, so these are my settings." The screen shots you have uploaded does not show any settings specific to SRS .
TIA
what do you mean? they are there..
tvos
Good job tvos,
Thanks for adding the screen shots.
Does this make the htc audio manager stop working, I thought I read in a post somewhere that it does...thanks TVOS
the plugin for SRS does not work with audio manager. I tested srs working in S2P and other third party apps and it works fine.. something with htc audio manager or srs just don't like each other..
tvos
Thanks!
Seems to work very well on mine...with IMEI 0202 (early build). I am also using NATF's ROM with the .28 radio.
EDIT: After installing the app, the phone goes to sleep and never wakes up -- have had to soft reset each time. I have since uninstalled and all is back to normal.
thats good... its really hard to say why SRS works on some devices and others it does not. i know from experience that srs didn't work well with the two that I had to return but the other worked fine and delivered BIG bass sound..
thak you for your contribution.

SRS over A2DP
I have this working on my Fuze (SRS 1.2.10.0 from the MONX cab, including the CPL) and it truly rocks my brain playing with S2P.
I really love it!
If you are having issues with yours, here is the CAB I use. I am also including the REG file with the settings I use. Give those a whirl.
(Monx, if this is somehow not kosher, please let me know and I'll remove it, post-haste. All credit for this CAB should go to MONX)

Well, ensure you don't have SRS WoW already installed (uninstall and sr if you do)
Install CAB
extract REG file in ZIP, copy to phone, and import (using whatever registry editor you prefer - DotFred's works a treat)
open the new WoW SRS applet in Settings, and then close. (don't change anything)
Connect your headphones (BT or cabled, no matter)
fire up your favorite player
hit PLAY boogie to the very satisfying sound form your headphones
Have fun!
Hi is this configured to work in TouchFlo music tab and also change the volume? The other cab I used wouldnt allow me to change the volume and would also stop working after a call was received or made.
Thanks!

No clue, my friend. I don't use the music tab. It has worked flawlessly with WMP, PocketPlayer, and S2P, though.
i got it to work but the settings don't last when i use my bt headset. i have to open s2p & play a song, then minimize it, open up srs wow then choose internal headphones, then it would change to my desired setting.
it doesn't happen with wired headphones though.
Thanks!
Works great on my Sprint Touch Pro running JD ROM v2.15, OP's CAB worked, Yom's CAB did not (gave me a driver not loaded error in the control panel applet, even after a soft reset).
You should update the instructions to indicate that the .cpl file should be copied to the \Windows folder, and can be accessed by going to Start->Settings->System tab.
Edit: I changed the Flags registry value back to my device's previous value (0). I'm fairly sure the new value was causing an issue where if I put my device in standby with the power button I couldn't wake it up, forcing me to perform a soft reset.
You should update the instructions to indicate that the .cpl file should be copied to the \Windows folder, and can be accessed by going to Start->Settings->System tab.
are you talking about the separate file that is copied to the windows folder after the intial install?
i have added that already..
thanx.

Thanks for the update.. Does the music player work after calls are made/received? I had to soft reset to get the tunes back on.
Maybe someone had the same problem than me...
I installed SRS, and it works great with S2P... But after install, i can't hear anyone when i received a phone call...
I MUST hard reset to hear my phonecall !
Is there any solution ?
I'm not sure why but, I've got this working just fine with HTC's Audio Manager. I've got a (relatively) new HTC Fuze (AT&T) purchased off Craigslist with Audio Manager installed from a seperate cab located in the Raphael forum.
Rockin' big-time through my Plantronics 590A BT headphones. Looking forward to kicking some tunes through my portable "stereo" (old set of PC speakers & Sub) that I connect to using my Motorola BT receiver.
