I know its been asked but...

I have used the search for hours and i am frickin tired now!!...LOL
How in the heck do i change my default player from WM player to HTC player when using MSVC???
I changed in with the advanced config, checked it in Kaiser Tweaks, but no dice yet. Help a bro out guys

BTW, I'm no noob guys i have been viewing this site for a very long time, ever since the xda2s came out overseas...LOL i just dont post much since i can comprehend most of the stuff here without asking questions... brother just tired after flashing and downloading all day!!!..LOL

I don't quite get your question.
If you use the Kaiser Advanced Configuration app (by Schaap, IRC), or Kaisertweak, you should be able to set it as default from one or the other, or both.
But what does MSVC have to do with this?

first things first do you have htc audio player install in your phone? if not, that may be the problem lol. attached is the player just in case. unzip it and copy the entire folder to your phone. no need to do install. you can just run the exe file and it's good.
i too am confuse with what "MSVC" is.

with msvc (microsoft voice command) you can say "play *artist/album*"
and it will open up windows media player and play it.
I don't think its possible to open up another player to play it. But check the definitive guide for msvc and try to ask there! Good luck

Yep, the function most likely makes use of media player's media library, so IMO would work only with it.

Music Playback: skip or pop every few minutes

Although this has been commented on in several threads already, I haven't seen a dedicated thread on the problem so here goes.
With all the media players I have tried so far (HTC’s, TCPMP, Windows Media Player and PocketPlayer), there is a noticeable pop or skip in the music every few minutes.
I have tried several things to try and fix it but to no avail. What's worse is that I now know this happens every five minutes EXACTLY. I end up looking at my watch just to confirm it's the problem every time I hear any glitch!
Things I have tried to cure the problem (all tests performed after a soft reset):
- In PocketPlayer (my player of choice) I have tried virtually every permutation for the buffer and decoder priority settings
- I have stopped all non-essential services and killed almost all the processes I can
- I have disabled TouchFlo 3D with no Today plug-ins running
- Tested in ‘Airplane Mode’
- Ensured no application is set to get updates from the internet automatically such as Weather and RSS feeds
This is really frustrating for me as I opted for the HTC Touch Diamond as an all-in-one device only to discover that MP3 playback is unusable.
NOTE: I am using an adaptor for wired head phones or a connection to my car’s head unit. I do not have Bluetooth headphones for testing. I am using RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship with minimal tweaks applied (mainly cosmetic ones).
If you have similar problems or any suggestions, please let me know!

Been there.. done that. Exactly 5mins it is.
The new OS build (20273) makes the pauses less. The older Build used to be worse! Still waiting for HTC to fix.

I can't see why deleting the music and copying it back is going to solve the problem... Unless it's the delete "AudioManager_Eng.vol" step you mean?

Actually Step 3 & 4 can be skip, the main reason to let those not sure or confuse how to manage the folders within the "InternalStorage"
Important is creating "folder.jpg" in our Touch Diamond. (Recognised by TD)
Some music files especially mp3 with built-in Album Arts also give problem.
All the above, based on my few tests & tries . . . .

The music files on my Diamond was transfered to the device together with a folder.jpg for each album. So that can't be the cause. I don't know if my files have build-in album arts, but I doubt that they all have it. So since all the albums on my device have this problem, I doubt that build-in album art has anything to do with this either. Of course I could be wrong...
Did you have this problem before you did this your new way?

Yes. TD will automatically generate "folder.jpg" that's why I do 1 step ahead to create 1.
I delete all my mp3 files from TD InternalStorage(I got backup in my PC) . . . then I create lots of FOLDERS with each Singer names. Copy all my mp3 files to individually to each different Singer FOLDER, create each FOLDER with their individual Singer's image and renamed with "folder.jpg" and place within the FOLDER.
After that rename the "AudioManager_Eng.vol" to "AudioManager_Eng.vol.vol" (because can/t delete), do a soft reset.
Everything go fine.View attachment 106724

OK, maybe you can check you ALBUMS / FOLDERS, do you have hidden file names as "hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg" inside? Or samething else?

Thanks for the tips. I wasn't really considering going the custom ROM route just yet but it looks like I need to bite the bullet if it is the only solution to the sound pop/glitch issue. I noticed in the change log that there is mention of a sound fix for Audio Manager ('No more pausing bugs'), I take it this will also apply to other media players? As I only want to use PocketPlayer which, ironically, seems to exhibit this the problem the most, can someone confirm if they have an issue with this player using the SwiftBL 5.6 ROM?

I thing that nothing will happen while somebody report to HTC and do big bubble like with graphic drivers for Kaiser...

Can X1 use the In Call Recording software in original beta ROM’s of the Touch HD?

I have tried to install the program, but when I run it, an error occurred.
Maybe some one in this X1 forum can fix it?
Link:http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=2341
In Call Recording has always been a mythical beast on HTC devices, briefly glimpsed but never captured.
It seems now things are set to change. While the original beta ROM’s of the HTC Touch HD shipped with In Call Recording enabled, the software was stripped from shipping devices in the west, likely for legal reasons.
Fortunately the device did ship in China and Taiwan with the software included, and the cab file to enable it is now available for download on XDA-Developers. The cab is however in Chinese, but a .mui file is also available (to be copied into your \windows directory) to translate the interface to English.
To record a conversation one simply need to start recording from the in call phone menu. The phone call is recorded in low quality highly compressed .amr format, stored in \my documents\my recordings and can be easily transferred to the desktop for archiving.
In addition HTC provided a nice user interface to access your phone calls on the device itself, almost reminiscent of Apple’s visual voice mail.
Listen to an example recording here. (Can be opened in Quicktime)
Read more about the software here.

Interestingly, i just downloaded the CAB file, installed it, then tried to unzip the MUI files and place them in the /Windows directory, but the MUI files were already there!
I do not know if someone added the correct MUI files to the .cab file already, or if the X1 already has them there beforehand, but I did not need to extract/add the additional MUI files on my X1.

works good, unfortunatly htc or windows mobile is not capable of recording internaly so you must user speaker phone to record the other person. but i like this alot thanks.. also made a new cab that includes the new english mui.

I installed your cab and it records calls fine. I can find the recordings with File Explorer. But when I try to run the "InCall Recorder" under the Programs then it gives me an error:
ICR.exe The file 'ICR' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found.
Any ideas, what to check?

in theory rather easy,
1. install the blackstone dialer (http://norti.hu/xperia/touch_hd_dialer.zip)
2. install ICR
3. rename \windows\ICR.exe.0409.mui to ICR.exe.####.mui whereas #### is your language code (if your ROM is an english one you don't need to rename the file as 0409 is english)
Dutch 0413
French 040c
German 0407
Italian 0410
4. softreset
5. in the dialer during a call you can click menu->"start recording"
that's all
in practice for me when i click start recording nothing happens.
any ideas? (i'am using the uk R2A ROM)

Have you tried to take a look at the ICR program?
It should be placed in your start menu.
Well, I have tried this thing and still I can record my own voice only.
As this is working for Diamond, whose ICR function was unavaialble prior to HD's addon - I am just wondering if X1 could add the ICR function just like Diamond....
(Let's hope this is not a Hardware limitation...)

I'm a bit confused, so by using this software, can we record voice from both sides?
It'd be a breakthrough to wm phones if both sides can be recorded.
Thanks.

Have tried everything, nothing seems to work
I have tried everything to make my X1 Xperia record incoming calls. Can't install ICR software, etc -see just some instructions string on the screen and nothing else-. Can someone please attach the right file(s) and clearly explain how to install the software -either English or Spanish-. Tried Audio Vitonotes but incoming audio is almost inaudible-.
Just a comment, if recording phone calls in the US is illegal... come on, there are other hundreds countries where it is not.. that means BILLIONS people..

I'm uisng VITO Audio Notes Touch and it can autorecord all calls. If it is not on speaker, the voice of the person you're talking to is recorded at a lower volume, but at a satisfying quality.
But it is not integrated in the dialer, you have to set it on autorecord.

One thing to notice is that many of Taiwanese on another forum reported that can simply use *any* of the software to record voices from both party.
It is found out that the jelly case (silicon case) is helping them to deliver the voice from the earpiece to the microphone and hence being able to record to both parties. Well it is not software/hardware issue of X1...then.
darthmelk are you using one or you are using any other special techniques?
Thanks

Hi!
I've installed ICR and Touch HD dialer, looks like everything is OK, but voice of caller is still very quiet.
BTW during my experiments I have found one interesting thing. Even with handsfree attached to the phone, ICR still record caller's voice. In this case acoustic way of recording is impossible, so it means that ICR record caller's voice through the hardware inside the phone. But I don't understand why voice in this case is very quiet
And one more thought. AEGphone is able to record caller's voice from line on my Xperia. Quality is not good but it is another problem. It is fact that caller's voice is loud and it is recorded from line. Only some type of intermittence is present. There are links to 2 .dll files:
Driver Enumeration:
WAV1: \windows\wavedev.dll (654584)
WAV8: \windows\bta2dp.dll (51392)

Help! Ayuda! Ringtone

So i need some help. I have been trying to set a ringtone as a text notification but no luck! :[ I had no problem with this until after i deleted all that at&t junk. I've tried copy & paste into windows file and ringtone file. Someone anyone HELP ME! THANKS!

more info required
you would need to say what rom you are using?, what format the tones you are using are in ?, what exactly are you trying to put in the windows folder?
have you tried any other apps to achieve this.. which app were you using to do it before? what did you remove?
i use ringo (comercial software) but there are freeware options out there with a bit of searching... i seem to remember seeing a mortscript that was set up to do this somewhere on xda. which users seemed to report worked quite well.

I have not tried any other apps only because i know of none. lol. I'm not sure what app i was using if any. But all i remember is i had absolutely no trouble with this until i deleted the at&t junk on the tilt. By the way i appreciate your help. My apologies for not responding sooner.

Oh, i forgot to mention the formats: mp3 and wmv. The ringtone that i want is set to mp3. It was mp3 the first time it worked and it still is mp3 and now it doesn't work.

All mp3's need to be associated with Media Player or else they will not play as ringtones. Perhaps you have installed another music player which has changed the file associations. You need to change it back to WM Player. Let us know if this is your problem.

Is the ringtone over 500KB? When I still used AT&T stock ROMs, I learned that files over 500KB would not work as ringtones unless I installed this fix. Hope that helps,

This "hack" would be great if only it didn't overlap with the alarm setting below the minutes (see overlapping below the 10 of the 15:10 reading of the clock):
It also changed the string "Camera" to "IDS_CAMERA" (lower right corner)
Maybe somebody (the author of this cab??) can make some changes...

This is a german language specific CAB, if someone with an english language device sends me the file 7e640092_manila from their \windows folder, I can make one for english language too. Thanks!
.

Install and/or use Advanced Config,then Menu -->More Settings --> TouchFLO3D (ignore error) --> Home page date format (choose one from 13 available !) --> tap Change --> Voila!
If you have overlap problems with alarm just choose a shorter date format or install Klaxon2 alarm clock,it will overwrite the standard windows reminder. In my case everything fits, see my home screen :

Good morning Guys! Thanks for all the helpful hints!
@ Sualc: Advanced Config did the trick!!! I did not use it since it will produce a lot of error messages and I did not believe that application is really suitable for the T2. But the weekday works like a charm. Does anybody now what to choose in the performance section of Advance Config? I suppose the values for the T1 might not match, right?

Hi Studebaker72, in my experience the error message we are talking about is THE ONLY error (and it's only a message) I get when using AdvancedConfig,maybe it will be solved with the next release of the app...I made various tests by changing the Performance Parameters, but I ended up keeping the Advised values (still better than Default), because for higher values I got scrambled landscape screens (with wm6.5, not with 6.1). My advice is to try by yourself, you don't risk anything. To have noticeable improvements you should use also HD Tweak (d'oh!another non specific app, but it works),go to point 14 (touchFLO3D) and set Sensitivity to Intermediate and Pression to Normal (default). Again, do your own tests, these are values that suit me, but maybe not you
