Hi everyone,
Having trouble trying to change the default music player from Manilla 2D from audio manager to windows media. Currently using Hyperdragon III rom. tried searching the hyper dragon site, general rom development, google, etc and cant seem to find it.
Im sure its a really simple config item somewhere in the registry?
tried Manila 2D Customizer...still no luck
i second his problem, i want to do the same
And question here is. What is that change supposed to accomplish?
You might be able to change the player by editing the xml file. But with Audio Manager, you get the One touch play; once you change it you will be running Media player in the back ground
Moved the thread to the general section.
Thanks for understanding.

Try changing the default player to WM using Adv Config!
...A reason to change
I also want to do similar....however, I love the new Audio Mananger cab from HTC. BUT!!! I am peed off at having no direct access to volume control and that is spoiling the experience for me.
I dont want to change to WMP, but may have to if it turns out that it offers the much needed direct onscreen or HW access to volume control.
Incidently, to the point made about trying AdvConfig....It works NOT!. I tried several times to force the change over but to no avail. The way i have left my setup, is simply to install a previous version of Audio Manager (which doesnt offer the album cover facility) and place a shortcut to it on the Manila Programs tab. I found that using a diifernt version via the Audio tab screwed the screen up,

I believe that all you have to do is find the link for the HTC audio player in the /windows folder of your phone, copy the WMP link and rename it to the htc Audio player link, and overwrite. This is how I changed my web browser from opera to pie.
Let me know if this helps
bump. still havent found a resolution yet

HI i want a solution for this too please ....
somehow would be better if there was a vol control in the tab itself
lol looks like i stumbled in to a dead horse ;p
I just moved over from the Tilt to the Fuze. I loved the way the HTC Audio Manager functioned on the Tilt, speedy and user friendly.
Unfortunately that cab no longer works on my Fuze. I've tried Win Media and Core Player but both programs have an incredible lag when choosing playlists.
Is there a HTC Audio Manager cab for the non-Manilla version? What else are you guys using to play your MP3's?
Try MortPlayer or GSPlayer.
I like Mortplayer. You have to be careful with the skins though, some of them like to crash, or have impossibly small fonts.
I wish someone would come up with a skin that has a car screen that's basically three HUGE buttons (skip forward, back, and play/pause) and then the name of the song and a counter. Most people have tried to focus on aesthetics but I think that would be the most useful.
mortplayer had a tendency to lag/skip when i play music on my fuze. i've since then switched to pocket player (so far so good)
I would use Nitrogen when I am on the run. If I have time, I like the look and interface of S2P. It's pretty slick with opengl.
Great feedback. I'll look into those programs.
One thing I noticed is that a lot of the players would shut off when the phone goes into sleep mode. Do mort player, nitrogen have that problem?
Here's the .cab for HTC Audio Manager fot TP/Fuze
I had HTC's Audio Manager working on my TP, found the cab after lots of diggin and testing... got it here on XDA, just don't remember where...(thanks to the maker of the cab anyways, sorry I don't remember who you are! )
Well, enough chatting, here you get it (lucky you I keep most of my cabs in MediaFire ):

Thanks! I've been playing around with both HTC Audio Manager and Nitrogen. Both are great programs so it's hard to narrow it down to one music program for my Fuze.

I'm not sure it's a unique feature, but I am toying with Nitrogen, and it has a "blank screen" button. The elements of Nitrogens user-interface are super-simple and easy to manipulate. As a plus its billed to be lightweight and responsive - it's fast to me.
Nitrogen is still early in development, and it looks like the author is adding features that you may miss, relative to more mature players, like Mort.

I have a cab in my faq that's called keep music playing.
basically you just hit the power button to put your phone into standby mode.
it's better than blank screen as taht just shows a black screen and still uses more battery.
The music player built in to tf3d is as good as any of the other ones. Nice library function. Menu has the audio booster built in to it. Shuffles music. I can't find anything that works as good as this. This came stock with my sprint touch pro.
i use S2P *Slide 2 Play* it also intergrates itself into S2U just like the iphone which i like, power manage is awesome while using the music player and ease of use is also great, make it even better yet, its FREE!!

I am with you on this one. However i recently switched to WM 6.5 and titanium to save battery life so I have lost the Touchflo music player. I tried nitrogen and found it to be great in every way except one.
On the Touchflo music player it would scan your whole phone for all of your music and organize it for easy selection. With nitrogen though you have to look through all of your folders to find a song which is a major turn down for me as I use itunes to organize my music. Which means it goes by album and I never remember which album a certain song is in. If anyone knows of a workaround that would be great.
The best music player is Pocket Music Bundle.
Best sound and manager playlist.
http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm
realy like htc audio manager. Even when I used tf3d, for some reason the volume was too loud, and I hated having only 6 increments for volume.
Also unlike windows media player, audio manager doesn't think my 4 zillion sound files whic are from my various instaled games are music too
Dear All:
While it's a common practice after hardSPL is out (hoping to be a.s.a.p), I think it's a good if users get to vote on what features they are interested in device because we might be looking for a selective set of services based on our normal device usage. For example:
- Reset icon/Tab/shortcut, because Rhodium reset is behind the cover (kinda stupid)
- Fast media players (using currently Divx for Pocket PC) that can run a movie without any glitch or delay.
- G-sensor based apps/games.
- FM Radio built in.
- better colors for TouchFlo 3/D
- Better taskbar icons
Let's vote for what you guys want.
Nothing but my language...
in fact i think it is better to flash a bare, stable and fast rom without anything but the wanted language! I prefer german roms.
Then i can customize it with .cabs by my own and can leave all these unuseful things like fm-radio, manila, skins, IE and so on...
Greets
Alfons
need memory
need more free rom and ram....
maybe with lzx compression we can have more free memory
From what ive seen of stock and the new TF3D interface im very pleased already.
Looking for no bloatware, basically standard but with better battery life, performance in general and some tasty bundled apps.
Simples
This is the first WM device I ve had, that doesn't really need a cooked rom. Everything works perfectly.
Although like to see some stuff added on the next version, like:
Reset Shortcut
FM Radio With RDS and technical info about reception, frequency etc.
Gray/Black Highlights etc, I really don't get why HTC insists to use green.
Same BG on all manila tabs without slowdowns.
Some opera version that you can understand what link you just clicked (or don't clicked).
Black/Dark Phone Canvas
Greek available by default on eZinput
Most of this issues are already solve, but its always nice to see a flawless ROM
BT stack
bring the good old MS BT stack - volume setting on the device for BT stereo headset during MP3 playback was working with Raphael. now this is not working at all with Rhodium
Here are some things in my dreams
-Windows Mobile 6.5 (I already have had 6.5 on my Excalibur for a month)
-Opera mobile 9.7
-Manila 2.5 (the newest Touch Flo 3D interface) + Footprints
-Pre-installed app for the built in radio that just works
-More, better Facebook integration into contacts (If anyone is good enough to do that, but I think that Manila 2.5 also addresses this issue somewhat)
-Some legit new wallpapers to chose from
-Some sort of program that can find a new directory for each key on the keypad/front keys. (Example you could program a key to open the camera, another for the radio app)
-TCPMP (is a beast of a media player, like vlc but for WinMo)
These are all of the things that I could think of that would make the TP2 almost perfect. I will update this post if I think of anything else.
Remote Tracker software.
If someone can get Blackberry esq capability working with full functionality and same speed as my BB Bold then I will jump back to HTC device at a flash
I left due to frustrations with Touch HD (admittedly I hadn't changed from the stock ROM) but I missed the keyboard - bad choice on my behalf the touch HD
mainly I want a 6.5 ROM that is very low on memory consumption. I can handle the rest
I have a Vodafone UK version so here are some of the things i'd like change...
A Youtube Application (vodafone take it out) that doesnt break the filters for the normal player that comes with it (gallery doesnt work)
A Comms manager in the notification area like it used to be...
Manilla 2.5
Vodafoen modified Manilla to have Black text so cant see any on the writing on the main homescreen with my choosen background unless its basically white... So the return of white text would be great...
Battery always staying visible in the status bar...
Windows 6.1/6.5 doesnt matter too much as i do most things from the Manilla interface
Well the things I'd opt for are:
* Preinstalled FM-radio
* TCPMP
* Opera 9.7
* Soft reset
* BT headset-finder
* Country-specific keyboard management
* G-sensor sensitivity in "all" apps
* Footprints
* Music ID
Then of course; better battery-time and Manila 2.5 would be great...
My 2c worth/McHan
well i opt for a bare based default 6.5 windows. and the rest of the application will be thru a cab file. thanks
The things I would like to have in a ROM are as following:
- G-Alarm 1.5.1 (latest free version)
- Microsoft Facebook Application
- TotalCommander
- Microsoft MyPhone
- MP3 Trimmer
- any software where you can rotate, crop and compress pictures
Everything else I rather install on the storage card.
* Titanium
* .Net 3.5
* BB Connect That works
I'd like to see a lite/naked version with no M3D, maybe HTC Home instead, or just the standard WM "desktop".
For apps:
- batterystatus ext.
- TCPMP w/.flv plugin
- Google Maps
- Opera (latest)
- TotalCommander
- PIMBackup
- some sort of WM5torage-like app to turn the phone into a USB card-reader/memorystick.

Actualy no need for WM5Storage. TouchPro 2 has this feature built in. When you plug in your USB, it asks you whether you want to use it as ActiveSync, Internet connection, or Removable Disk. For me I always keep the check box UNCHECKED so that I can choose everytime I connect a USB among these 3 options.
If you choose option 3, simply you will get your SD card as a removable drive on any other computer without having ActiveSync/Mobile device center isntalled

+1: a good working bt stack that can handle more than 1 device at a time corectly and have implemented all powersaving features of the bt definition, so that the batterys of headsets and bt watches are not quickly (approx. 10-15 hour's in standby with only little use) drained. also good a2dp and sound quality, and not disconecting devices for no reason (sometimes in the middle of a call) all the above i face daily on my athena and i will not buy a new htc product until this is working.
mad
-WinMobile 6.5, stock, no fancy customizations to keep it trim and stable
-Contacts app that lets me see my contact history with that contact, and also click on relatives of the contact to see their profiles. Say I have a friend, and I have his wife Brooke listed. I click her name, and her profile pops up. Something clean and smooth.
-Threaded conversation view with text messages and e-mails.
-Full MS Office Mobile so I can edit, create, and view word/excel/powerpoint on the phone.
-PDF and FLV viewers that don't crash the phone.
-Playback of mp4, mpg, mpeg, divx, xvid video without me having to load new codecs on the phone myself.
-Included Apps: E-Book reader (*.lit format), RSS Reader, PDF Reader, FLV/Youtube player, 2-time-zone clock, stocks, bing maps, weather with 5-day forecast below current conditions, calendar, windows media player, app store, MS Office Mobile, IE Mobile, solitaire, freecell, minesweeper, that bubble game, camera app that captures pictures and video, picture viewer (GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, PNG).
-Media Library app that looks like JackLuminous' app from The Green Button - something that lets me view my music by artist, album, year, genre, all songs, and playlists, and separate music, TV, movie, and podcast sections.
*The home screen would be: Music, TV, Movies, Podcasts, Audio Books.
*Click Music. You see; Artist, Album, Genre, Songs, Year, Playlists
*Click Artists, and you see the albums by that artist, by album cover, that you can swipe left or right. Below you see the year, genre, and record label - click those to see all songs release that year, by that genre, or by that record label. Click the album cover to see the track list. at the bottom is a back and a play button.
That's my biggest request - a media library app for the phone. I really think this is an area that WinMobile falls down on, and if someone wants to develop this further, I'd be glad to help them out.
i´m searching for a clean rom. without any programs (office, manila, ...)
all this soft you can find here as cab-files and you can install it.
the cleanest is often the fastest rom!
I liked the idea of media panel since I knew about it. But now when i have it on my device and I took a closer look at it I noticed some disappointing things about it. It seams that's it's good in general but every part has some defect:
1)Pictures part(most disappointing)-it seams to zoom not the actual images but the thumbnails of them.What's that for!?Can't it load images from sd card?
2)Music part-has no equalizer(I can live with that) and can't show all songs of one artist.
3)Video part-it's almost OK but it is just a bit more laggy then WMP.
The point is-are those real problems or am I a noob and just don't know the solution?
Do you mean the the MPX Panel MR1 (without radio) or MR2 (with Radio)?
If it's MR2, absolutely yes, it occures to me.
If it's MR1 (Original ROM), I don't think so.
I had the second version of the panel, the one with the radio. I have just uninstalled it and installed MR1 version. Well...there are no differences between them, at least i haven't noticed any.The video plays a little smoother, that's all.
So there isn't any way to fix picture viewer in the panel?
I use the Media Xperiance Panel only to play high quality movies. For this purpose it is definitely much better than WMP. For everything else I use a dedicated program. It's Pocket Player for sound and XNView for pictures. The reason is the inflexibility of the Media Xperiance Panel. Like you mentioned it offers no equalizer and the picture part is crap. But to watch high quality mp4s it's great.
I just hoped that this Media panel was so useful as I thought it would be when I first heard about it. Oh well!.. I'm using other programs for multimedia too - Coreplayer for music and Resco Picture Manager for pictures, but if there weren't those defects it has, it would be a great useful program! Thanks a lot for your answers.
Actually I found a way to deal with the music player part! I've installed the HTC Audio Booster - it didn't work for me last time because i didn't rename the .mui file to my region code but now it works perfect! So now I have Media panel with equalizer!
Asked a question about picture viewer to Sony Ericsson support. They said to update my phone's software. Like it would change something even if I could(already have R3AA007)!
It's a sad thing. Almost every time you contact a support hotline (SE is no exception) you realise that you already know far more than the person on the other end of the line will ever
Yep, totally. But I suppose that's because people who you call/write to are not engineers - their job is to tell you that "you should update your phone's software and everything will be awesome!". But anyway i started using the not-zooming panel picture viewer to quickly look at my recently added pictures, it's quite useful to have all pictures in one place and not browsing through 100 directories.
I agree, the panel is definitely a good thing. It is not perfect and SE wasted some of the panels potential but it's useful nonetheless. Like I wrote before I still consider it the best solution to watch high quality movies. Far better than WMP.
Hello.
Sorry if this has been answered, I didn't find it, apparently.
I keep hearing that the Audio Booster 2.5 WVGA application available on HTC units can be run on Xperia X1i. My attempts to install it (CAB installs OK) result in an installation that won't run but will complain that it's missing components (when run from explorer, when from menu, no error pops up at all, but the same error sound dings).
I suppose that means I have to install some HTC libraries or drivers to get it to work if at all possible. Can someone please consult me in detail on this issue? DL URLs with brief instructions are welcome, if possible.
Thank you very much for your time, gentlemen (and ladies).
Your ROM is the original version?!? My ROM came with this app and works fine. There are other apps like this, did u try others?!
If u just want play your music louder, u can try a - real - player like GSPlayer, CorePlayer, coz they have a really good eq system.
Yes, my ROM is the original version. I stress, I own a SE XPERIA X1 unit, so its original ROM couldn't have come with an application that is from a competitor and requires competitor's libraries/drivers to run. So either you've misread the topic and don't own an Xperia, or your ROM is not original.
I am looking for a decent system mixer/equalizer compatible with WinMo 6.1 Pro WVGA 800*480. I want savable presets and all that jazz. Parametrics aren't necessary, even unwanted. Just a decent equalizer that could preferably integrate with MS WMP.
I don't want to just run louder or more quiet. I want an equalizer. Extra features are appreciated if it does its primary job well. To the best of my knowledge the Audio Booster 2.5 was just that: an intuitive quality equalizer that was designed for 800*480 displays. Being that many applications from HTC Touch Pro 2 have been ported to Xperia, I'm assuming this one may have been as well.
Thank you for you input.
