Midi Ringtone Problem in AKU 3.3

Ok, I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem using midi ring/event sounds in the recently released AKU 3.3 with Crossbow enhancements ROM. Most of my midi ringtones don't play at all and those that do are horribly distorted. I don't think it's a hardware problem since Windows Media Player and CorePlayer (the commercial version not the included one since it doesn't play midi's at all). Almost all of my personalized per contact ringer id's are midi's so this is a major problem for me.
Other than this problem I'm really loving this ROM, kudos to Faria and everyone else who worked on this ROM ^_^

I too have that problem.
I'm using that WWE release WM6 ROM, and my .mid ringtones won't play.
Usually I'm using .mp3 tunes, but now I got my service providers sound theme, and I want to use it, bot no chance in hell...
What to do? :-S

i have no idea who on earth would use MIDI ringtones over MP3
Thats like going back to wooden spoons
You poor people

Truthfully I use .m4a (Nero Digital AAC) @ .15 quality for my 'real' song ringtones but there are some songs with somewhat explicit lyrics that I'd rather use midi's for. I'll probably be doing a bit of music editing when I wake up later today to make some more ringtones if I don't find a fix for this...

I had the same problem with midi ringtones, and did some search, then found this.

On that page, you search for "patch", download it and install on your device.
Although we use differen ROM, it should work for you too.
Good luck

utak3r can you help? WMP stuttering

I have upgraded to WM6 (C_ShekharAKU7.0b.R40.P24_public) from 2003, and I’m blown away. The main reason I use my XDA (Himalaya) is for watching movies as I travel a lot. My movies are converted to a WMV file.
The problem I have is that when playing the movie, the video stutters and the audio plays a few seconds’ ahead i.e. sync probs. Any ideas? I don’t want to go back to 2003.
Thanks

Hi there,
I can't help with the problem but I can confirm that I have the identical problem
*Upgraded from 2003SE
*Movies are converted to WMV
*Video stutters and audio is a few seconds ahead.
I've done a few tests to try determine what the issue might be but no luck.
*Tried testing testing at many different audio and video rates down to the lowest possible rates (60kbps and so on)
*Tried closing all other programs that were open using task manager
*Tried moving the file from my SD card onto the Himalaya (suspecting the SD was not able to be read fast enough). This WORKED for the first replay, but went back to its normal stuttering directly after.
I've been trying to recreate that ONE time when it worked, but with no luck.
I can confirm that between the working time and non-working time, I didn't install anything, and I doubt I changed any settings, though can't be sure.
Anyway, maybe you can try a few of the things that I did. In your case, it may work.

Use TCPMP to play all your movie file.
If there are problems, convert your file to any format rather than WMV. ex, MP4.
I use TCPMP to play a whole movie.
If your movie file is a DVD, convert it using Nero Recode...
Hope this helps!

As for playing movies... TCPMP and all is done You can download plugins for quite a number of various movie formats
And as for recoding... I recommend PocketPC DivX Encoder, aided with MediaCoder.

Check
Guys
I also had this problem where the whole device's sound was stuttering. Even when the phone rings.
I could not use media player because of this.
I reflashed my ROM and did not install the WM6 sound fix............
Since then i did not have this problem again.
My sound is perfect!! Try it out!!
Cheers

installed TCPMP all fine. Best version ever.

GB Softweak
HI guys
I have located this problem.
I tried to install GB softweak...for the gprs disconnection. After i enabled it, my device's sound started stuttering.
It was exactly what it did when i first posted this problem.
I uninstalled GB softweak...................the sound is back to normal, and no stuttering.
Hope it helps!

A2DP works default/only with Music Tab (Windows Media)???

I'm using i.Tech Clip Radio and it only defauls A2DP to the music tab (which is linked to Windows Media) in THD...
I've installed PocketMusic 5.1 freeware. When playing musing with PocketMusic, I tried moving to the next song in my playlist, instead, it plays the next song in my TouchFlo3D, Music Tab's playlist.
No matter how I've test and tried, it just won't work with PocketMusic...,I tried coreplayer , not work either.
I tried turn off the touch 3D flo, still not gd
Just wonder any tweak need to set ?

welllll
welllllll, I did try A2DP with stock HD ROM and moto S9 and it worked sort of. If you set Coreplayer to be default for mp3 files in coreplayer's settings, it seems to work well with it. Ill tell you what though; The change track buttons on the S9 didn't change the tracks with coreplayer, just htc music tab. Havn't fooled around too much, Ill report back if I find anything.

Touch pro TCPMP media player

I recently just bought a touch pro sprint phone. I installed .NetCF 3.5 and then installed Advanced Config. I proceded to change,Change file system cache to 8MB,Change file system filter cache to 131072,Change Glyph cache to 32KB. That was the only tweak I have done. Besides that I put google maps cab and torch button cab on there.
For the most part its pretty much stock the way it came. I was wondering about a different media player. I havnt used the media player that came on my phone much but everyone on the net claims it sucks and says TCPMP is best..is it? OR is there a better media player?? And is it worth changing to a new media layer?? If anyone has any tips let me know..I want to make this phone as cool as I can but there is a lot of apps I dont feel I need.
Let me know
Thanks

In as few words as possible, yes, it's better. TCPMP is capable of many more formats, for one thing. It has better playlist support, for another. Frankly, the HTC audio manager is a better music player than WMP, and I hate them both (I'm a staunch MortPlayer supporter for music playback). For video, I have tried many, but I've only been happy with TCPMP. I'm usually NOT a big fan of uni-task software, but MortPlayer and TCPMP are the total cream of the crop in music and video playback on portable devices. Their price only serves to make them more desirable.
One word of warning: if you start flashing home-cooked ROMs, and it seems almost everyone on XDA does, at some point, check to see if the cook has included it. Many who do not include TCPMP have jibed their ROM so much that it doesn't work with TCPMP, no matter what you try.

TCPMP is better than WMP on the Touch Pro, as it supports many more formats. It's what I use. I'm currently using NRG's EnergyRom 3.0 (I believe there's a CDMA version of it for you Sprint users), which has TCPMP included, along with latest versions of Google Maps, .NET CF, AdvConfig, and other utilities. I would definitely recommend flashing that badboy with a custom rom- you'll notice a huge difference.
Btw, don't listen to the over-blown performance claims of those touting CorePlayer- their QTV driver doesn't work worth a damn on our devices. I've tried it on my Fuze- trust me, it's not worth the money.

That’s not completely true. The best results will depend on which format you are trying to play. For example, WMV plays best on windows media player and AVI plays best on the Core player. Core player works great if you have the correct settings. You’re best “free” option is TCPMP.
Search for this version:TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-recomp-03.CAB

Tried them all and TCPMP has it's uses. If you are going to encode movies to watch on your device put them in m4v and TCPMP is pretty darn good.
When it comes to music playback though I will have to disagree with the above posts. I have tried them all as well and the absolute best in my opinion is Nitrogen. Simply awesome.

It's best for video. Music will be up to your preferences. I use WMP for Today Screen and Voice command integration

What advantages does updating rom do for phone? NRG's EnergyRom 3.0..is this the rom I should use??And what is this sprint CDMA version?Is it a rom?
and do I need to back up before deciding to upgrade to this cdma version? Sorry for all the questions,you guys are awesome.how do I tell what ROM i
have on my phone as of right now?
And!!! I just installed skyfire..should I be deleting enternet explorer off my phone if I only use skyfire now?? And If I get the tcpmp should I delete windows media player??
Thanks

WMP and IE are considered system files. Good luck deleting them without crippling something. Just ignore them and/or delete the shortcuts from the programs menu.
As for the rest of the advice, if you don't know the difference between CDMA and GSM, and don't know which one your phone is, I would forget about flashing my phone, until I knew it like the back of my hand, if I were you, unless you want to turn your shiny, expensive phone into a shiny, expensive brick.
Hint: you have a CDMA phone, which means a ROM written for GSM will completely and irreversibly disable your phone.

Yeah, there's no deleting PIE or WMP (you can try, but you will fail, lol). You're going to have to cook your own rom, and figure out how to remove them without screwing a bunch of other things up. They still come in handy from time to time. I'm not sure how well ringtones work without wmp-I guess another media player can handle them. PIE is good for downloading off of rapidshare or other sites where there's a countdown. It's also good for logging into free wifi networks. The HTC Streaming Video works well with it, too.

Before you delete any built in apps, download and play this video clip (15 MB)
http://rapidshare.com/files/268091340/Comedy_Central_Stand-Up_Erin_Foley.mp4
It is a podcast video from Comedy Central. I did not encode it. It is MP4 and I might have renamed the .m4v extension to .mp4 (can't remember). the resolution is 600x400 (or so) with a decent bitrate.
TCPMP won't play it
Coreplayer won't play it/
Windows Media Player will play it
HTC Album will play it
TCPMP and Coreplayer are software-only renderers. WMP and HTC album use hardware acceleration built into the Qualcomm chipset.
It seems that only MP4 (m4v) formats have native h/w support on Raphael. I don't know if .wmv is also supported.
I also use TCPMP and Coreplayer (own it). Each has pluses and minuses.

[Q] Video playback problem on cooked ROM

I'm hoping that maybe a Chef can help me out with this one, as they might have ran into this same issue.
I have made my own ROM for my Imagio based on the oringinal 21874 Build.
My problem is that I have video play back issues with Album, Windows Player, and You Tube (Which I know album & You Tube uses Full Screen Player). When ever I play mp4s etc.. it would cause my device to freeze/lock up).
I have tried 3 or 4 different versions of Album, Full Screen Player, You Tube, Media Tool Kit..and aswell as other HTC Software and components. Does anyone know which software component versions work best with each other?
But since I also have issues using WMP, I have to say It just can't be HTC software.
The closest I have got it to work, it would play the video but the video was off sync with the audio.
I also have made a ROM for someones HTC Pure and ran into the same issue, so it can't be just the Imagio.
So I am at a loss of what could resolve this problem.
