one thing that you could do, is install Schaps Advanced Config. then go to file associations and associate WMP as the defualt player for those files.

thanks
thanks a lot for the advise. I have installed it and tried to associate the WMP files but still the same issue exist. Or may be the way, i have tried is not correct. when i opened the file association, i get so many extensions and for each extension, a description is given. for mp3, the description is sompy player. I located the file that i wanted to play in windows media player by clicking the WMP extension and clicked ok. After that, i tried to open the song file, but the same problem happening. please advise

1. Get to the file association menu in Advanced config.
2. Locate the file that you wanted to associate(.mp3 in your case)
3. Single click on the file extension
4. Click on "Select Program"
5. Then the explorer will open up.
6. Go to the windows folder(takes some to time to load)
7. Locate the file that says WMplayer.exe or something like that, the one that has WMP's picture next to it.
8. Select it.
9. Now you should be back to the extension list.
10. Click on "Save"
11. Click Ok
12. Click "Done" on the Advanced Config mainscreen.
13. Do the Soft reset, when it asks you to.
14. When it rebbots, try it.

version 2.02.0.2.0. but it came with a cooked rom (Blue Elves 5.0).
Well I guess this version of advanced config is latest but I still can't find file type association in the list.
Do you think reinstalling advanced config will resolve?

bumping, any help on this? i have mp3 checked on tcpmp, but it still opens up wmp as the defualt when i play music, unless i manually select the tcpmp player.

First install the WMDecoder file to your device and extract the two files (wma and wmv codecs) to the Windows folder, using Resco File Explorer or Total Commander, soft reset your device. Get the WMDecoder file download here http://www.mediafire.com/?19gjvmjzylt .....! When your device comes back up, go the TCPMP/Player> Options> Settings> Select Page> File Association>, Check mark {ALL} the blocks and make sure you see {Windows Media Audio files}, by chance if you do not see this file, then you must reinstall the two WMDecoder file (wma and wmv codecs) to the Windows folder again. Another file which is the key file for making the TCPMP/Player the Default player is this file, Windows metalfiles(ASX,WMX,WVX,WAX), make sure the block for this file is check marked. Have fun...............!

I'm trying to change the sound WM uses for the pop-up dialogue (for instance, you install a program and a dialogue pops up and says you have to restart... that sound). I've gone through every option available in Settings/Sounds & Notifications, but there's no entry for it. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

This is what I did (altho the results of the following steps are entirely YOUR responsibility):
1. MAKE BACKUPS! From Activesync, "Explore" the phone. i.e. in a Windows Explorer window.
2. Dbl-click "My Windows Mobile Device". Dbl click the "Window" subdirectory.
3. Sort by filetype.
4. Navigate to where ".wav" files are.
5. Select all the ".wav" files and copy them all en masse to a separate directory on your PC. (all the hidden system wav files should also have been copied in the process).
6. play all the wav files until you find the one that irritated you the first time.
7. open a registry editor of your choice on your WM device. (I use SKTools)
8. search for the file name from step 6.
9. Try the full name plus extension first. If no result, then try the name without the extension.
10. Replace instances of the filename with the wav filename of your choice (I assume you have one). If there was an extension in the first place, include the extension as well.
The outcome of all the above is your responsibility. The steps worked for me, and if you are familiar with how to edit WM registry items, the steps should work for you as well.
good luck.
Thanks for the reply skenobi. Reading your response, it occured to me that once I find the wav files WM is using, I could probably just replace the sound I don't like with a renamed copy of the one I do (i.e., replace Alarm2 with a copy of Alarm4, renamed to Alarm2). I think I'll try this out first, before I buy a registry editor.
Thanks again!

That might work, altho (if I'm not mistaken) some wav files are in ROM, i.e. you can't rename/replace it.
Your mileage may vary, as they say.
Good luck.
I have flashed to 1.37 Malaysia WWE ROM, under the 3D touch flow, when I click the browser, it opens to HTC site instead of a local search page like 1.34ROM. Is there a way I change it?
I have changed the startup homepage in opera setting but it didn't change the default page when you launch the browser from 3D touch flow.. any ideas to have it changed? thanks

when u open it at the adress bar u see from where the file (URL) is its shortcut in windows make a shortcut of a browser in your pc and name it the same thing as u had that is ( windows\htc-opera.html) so with your pc make a shortcut of internet adress u like and the save it to your desktop and then rename it to htc-opera.html and copy this to your device windows folder thats it !!
I have done that but it seems the opera launcher in 3D touch flow is hardcoded to www.htc.com. In fact under the globe icon in 3D touch flow, it has a line www.htc.com . I forget whether it is the same in 1.34 ROM. But so far I am not able to change that...
anyone got any idea? thanks
ok, i got tricked by this as well.
Look underneath the earth in the browser panel.
It says "Launch Browser - www.htc.com"
So I guess it always launches to htc.com.
To launch Opera only and on your predefined start page, use the Right softkey when on the browser panel. It's labeled BROWSER.
Irritating
i noticed the browser softkey, but i think there must be a way to change this... it seems this is not an issue with 1.34 rom
I finally resolved this issue; anyone who has the same problem go to "Application Data" folder and delete this file: InternetPortal-en-AU.xml. or you can edit the InternetPortal-en-AU.xml file , it will then go to whatever URL you have changed in InternetPortal-en-AU.xml when you launch it by the Globe Icon, don't worry, the Globe is still there. As a rule of thumb, back up the file before you make changes
Please note that this InternetPortal-en-AU.xml is a read only file, you need to copy it to your PC for editing the URL you want to go when you hit the Globe Icon. First, uncheck the "read only" tab in file properities. then edit it with notepad on PC. After you are done, rename it to InternetPortal-en-AU-new.xml ( your file extension may be hidden) , copy it back to Diamond's" Application Data" folder. then launch "File Explorer" in your Diamond, then go to "Application Data" folder, rename InternetPortal-en-AU to InternetPortal-en-AU-bak then rename InternetPortal-en-AU-new to InternetPortal-en-AU, You are done !

So what does the screen show now? I mean before you tap on the browser.
Is it still the globe, just without directing you to the htc official site?
without the file, it will go to whatever homepage you have set in Opera's setting, or you can edit the InternetPortal-en-AU.xml file , it will then go to whatever URL you have changed in InternetPortal-en-AU.xml when you launch it by the Globe Icon, don't worry, the Globe is still there. As a rule of thumb, back up the file before you make changes
Thanks vaio for web browser tip!

I've finally got time to try this out, & it works like a charm! thank you so much!
Now... would it be possible to change the browser icon to something of personal preference? I saw a path inside the *.xml & it directed to a banner.qtf or something. Or is it embedded?
Anyway, just want to thank you for this huge help.
princEd, thanks for your kind words.. will keep searching for tweaks..
Hi all, can anyone post the original script for "InternetPortal-en-AU.xml" Thanks in advance..
Hi.
I don't have this XML file in Application Data too, and my Internet Tab is just useless : the globe button does strictly nothing, neither do the "browser" or "more" bottom buttons, and the youtube link below the globe displays an error message about missing file or incorrect certificate.
So I would like to :
make the "Launch Browser" button launch Opera 9.5b or at least Internet Explorer
if possible, make it launch my homepage or a customizable page
remove this Youtube link
learn how to add other links
having a link/button to one-click des/activate WLAN would be just GREAT
Can somebody post the content of the XML file ?
And of course, if anybody knows how to achieve any of the above...
Thanks in advance

You need to rename the follow file to "AudioManager_Eng.vol.vol"
Device/Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng.vol
Soft Reset . . . . New AudioManager_Eng.vol will be created.

I had that similar problem last time, get advice from SwiftBL and plus few tries . . . The conclusion is:
If Album Art embedded in mp3 songs, u might have problem. What you can do is copy all your mp3 file to InternalStorage/My Documents/My Music/xxx
xxx = Your individual Artist Folder, copy a jpg file(or the album art) rename as folder.jpg
Then do the following steps . . .
You need to rename the follow file to "AudioManager_Eng.vol.vol"
Device/Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng.vol
Soft Reset . . . . New AudioManager_Eng.vol will be created.
just one thing, get rid of that tab and use S2P
Hi all !
OK, first, don't ask me why I want to do this... because I want to do it ! I like to have things in the right places ! lol
I've created a directory in my internal storage in \Stockage interne\My Documents\Ma musique in order to put my music files instead of that's stupid Music directory in the root of the internal storage.
Everything goes fine with WMP and I can listen to those files. It founds all the files in its library.
But the TouchFlow Player cannot find them and always try to search for files when I go on the player tab.
I've found and changed some keys in the registry which seems to work with this player, but that doesn't work at all.
Here are the keys I have found and changed to my new directory :
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_scan_path_path
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_scan_path_path0
Any idea is welcome...
EDIT :
I've found something. Its the second key that matches the directory to search your files from.
Now I've the HTC Player Library with the music files and can play it, but there are some double entries for the same file.
I think the reason is the number of try.
Does anyone knows where the library database is stored in order to delete it and let the player rebuild it ?
Thanks...
had the same problem
i solved it this way:
opening library->all songs->start one song
after this i had all songs in the touchplayer...
it seems that its just showing the playlist, not the whole library

Is that what you want?
Thanks.
It was very helpful.
I deleted the database in Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng.vol
Also modified the registry.
If you set the same directory in these two keys, you have two time your songs in the library !
If you try to delete one, it is automatically created when you softreset the device.
so I have also modified the registry keys like this :
- HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_s can_path_path : /Stockage interne/Ma Musique
- HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_s can_path_path0 : /Stockage interne/My Documents/Ma Musique
As I have no files in the first directory, seems to work correctly now...
YOU'RE THE BEST; it's working NOW 'comme un charme'.
Thank's a lot.
