Hi there all. I aprieciate your work so much. I would like to start learning from you, so please can you help me in this topic:
Seems i like your various ROMs, and i am inspired by cooking and so, i would like to ask you how to do few things like this:
I need to make a room wich consist only the aplication i like, and not aplication from Microsoft, eg:
1. I would like to have in my room Opera 9.5 instead of Internet Explorer
2. I like SmartMovie much better then WMedia Player, can we remowe WMP and place Smart Movie there?
And, so on. Removing the unwanted crap, placing only what you like, and what takes less space...
Is it possible? Can anyone explain me how to do it?
Thanks a lot.
PS. I would need some links, where from i can learn about cooking. Can anyone send me some?
You better try IE only.

I also tried the same thing, replacing WMP with the much better CORE-PLAYER. But once you remove the WMP, you are unable to play mp3, wma, midi as ring tones. you can only use wav files for your tones thereafter. Removing IE might not give you enough space to replace it with OPERA. But you better try. There are kitchens that comes with standard MS apps as OEMs. check the files & registry in them & remove them from your rom while cooking. Good luck.

Ya. But i have never been cooking. dont understand all of this OEMs and kitchens. What should i read about and where to start playin with the stuff???
There is also few things i want to remove, like image viewer, and oher things i am not using..
;;;But once you remove the WMP, you are unable to play mp3, wma, midi as ring tones. you can only use wav files for your tones thereafter. ```
is this only refers to ring tones? because if yes, then there is o problem to use the wav.
.ok. thanks, any help with cooking lessons?

Yes, the problem is only with ring/sms tones. Otherwise you can play your music from the player you add. Download and read the instructions on Arther's kitchen for cooking.

My BA plays MP3s like charm as ringtone becasue of WMP 10. However, since I hate WMP 10, I installed other SW like "WithMP3 v.160"...and here comes the problem. WithMP3 installes its self as the default player for MP3s, which disabled MP3s as ringtones. Is there any solution to stop WithMP3 from bieng the default player? I tried to change the defult player by assigning the extenstion *.mp3 to open with WMP 10, but no luck.

Apparently it's a big issue. I hope that one of the pros will read the post and give me a solution,
have you looked in the registry ? There's probably some key that you can alter or delete, just experiment a bit.

Thank U pleun for replying. Actually, this is what I did when I found out the problem. I edit the registry to let WMP 10 the defualt player form MP3. The result was MP3s are played by WMP 10 but no MP3 rington. PS: After doing this... the icon associated with MP3 file was not WMP 10. It was smothing generic. Again thank U for participation.
i had d same problem as u n i have no idea what the solution is except removing the other mp3 player...
Problem solved...
hi
can u upload it again? doesn`t work...
why would you need that? the problem's been solved long since. What rom are you using?
1. if you are still running wm2003se, that patch would certainly help you.
this will help you: http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=16569
there you can download the fx for xda mini, but that should also work for blueangel, if not, please report here.
2. If you are running anything but wm2003se, you shouldn't have any problem using mp3 as ringtones, but if that is the case report it in the thread of that particular rom.
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

Note: I have never messed with podcasts up to this point, so I will easily look like I don't know anything on this
There is a lot of stuff to find here related to what RSS reader to use, etc, and I can explore that...but...
I have MS Voice command, and hope to be able to call up podcasts with it. What I'm not sure if is if MS Voice Command requires MS Media Player to operate for playing music. I assumed so, so I thought I woudl download podcast mp3 files, and create a playlist called Podcasts.
But, I find for some reason that when I try to import the downloaded MP3 into the library that it will not come in.
So, I"m left wondering, what is best method to do podcasts on the Tilt, and be able to call them up with MS Voice Command?
Any thoughts based on that? (In meantime, I"ll be reading the multitude of threads on RSS Readers, etc.)
Thanks!
I am gathering from the lack of response that it must not be possible to use MS voice command to play any downloaded MP3s (podcasts).
Yes you can. However, you will need to sync it through desktop WMP. Before you sync it you must fix it's properties though. You must give it a title & Artist name, Genre, Album Name, etc... In MSVC you can only launch media by these types of commands, i.e. Play news, play podcast play "artist name". Read the MSVC help file regarding media selections.
Also depending what you mark the MP3 format as being hanled by (File Asosciation) you can have it play in most popular media players. I prefer TCPMP.
Before you sync it you must fix it's properties though

That must be my problem. I'll see if I can figure that out. Thanks for the input. Sounds kinda painful though, as I'd have to manually input properties on every one I download to get it to load in WMP.
I've been thinking of looking into the TCPMP. Will MS Voice command work with that application?
[EDIT]
Hmmm...actually, my problme is that WMP won't even pull the file in for me to then add the necessary information to synch it. I'll have to figure that one out.
Please be patient, I am new to HTC and WM6 and I'm hoping to get some recommendations
I have about 4GB of music on my micro SD that I copied off my iPod, so it's in acc format which the audio manager doesn't recognize. I downloaded TCPMP and the acc plugin and it plays the music but its doesn't show the song info (title, artist etc) till you open the song.
Also you can't search by artist, or genre like you can in audio manager
Can anyone recommend a good audio player or someway to get audio manager to recognize acc files
I really prefer opera mini over IE but I have to go into the java app first to select it, is there anyway to get an opera shortcut onto the start screen
I really appreciate any advice or tips for the newbie questions
Opera Mobile is designed for smartphones and should give you a regular icon to load it with, mini is made primarily for regular phones with only their crappy build in browsers which is why it works only in java.
iTunes music is the most annoying on planet earth. You can convert it to mp3 or delete the DMA off of it to allow it to play properly but its time consuming and annoying. I dont know of any plugin for Audio Manager that will allow you to play the iTunes music, only what other people have created for other players.
Now if these songs were once full on mp3's or cd's that you copied into iTunes you would be better off copying / ripping those files over to the sd card.

Yeah most of it is CD rips, I was hoping to avoid having to rip them again
When you initially ripped them did you tell iTunes to connect to the net and pull the information and creat an id3 tag for it? If not then thats why none of the track info is pulling over. iTunes will read the title / cd / artist name off the disct but when you use them as mp3's or in other players I have heard of some issues with the information not being read properly...
All my music is in mp3, ogg, FLAC and other formats on my computer, if my wife wants anything she pulls it over. She has bought some things off iTunes but they are such a pain to use elsewhere that eh.
You should have set ITunes to only rip to MP3 for compatibility reasons such as this. I'm not too sure what/if anything can read aac files on Windows Mobile. I know their is a way to get Opera Mini's icon as well as a way to have it function as your default browser (that is clicking on hyperlinks in e-mails, sms, ect) bring you to Opera Mini. There's quite a lot of info on that if you search.
As far as Opera Mobile, yea it may be designed for Smartphone, and yea it may be better than IE, but it does not in anyway compete with Opera Mini in terms of speed and website rendering.
Hi All,
A few days ago, a client of mine brought me back his diamond saying that the music player was not working.
After more than 8 hours of trying to fix this issue by trying everything I could find on this forum and every possible solution my imagination could think of, I'm left no other choice than asking the community for help.
When ever I put a large amount of files on the storage card (around 3Gb) and use the TF3D interface to play the music, Audiomanger_eng.exe crashes (sometime other files crash but I forgot the names).
Now, I have tried pretty much everything:
1. I tried both WMP 11 to transfer the files and the direct copy/paste of the files to the storage card.
2. I tried putting another set of songs coming from a different PC
3. I tried having all the songs together in the same folder (that caused even more issues as album arts were overlapping) and I tried the WMP function to get each songs in its correct subfolder (ie: artist... Album...).
4. I tried deleting the database file of the AudioManager (which causes it to rescan all the files which it does but then crashes as it tries to play certain songs)
5. I tried on two different Diamonds, using 1.93 in English (HK), 1.93 in French, TOM_DiamondProject_v3.2, Dutty's latest rom. Through this I tried the original HARD SPL of HTC and also Olinex and another guy's one. (All the test I did using these various ROM created approximatively the same error though varied slightly from one ROM to the other)
6. I have also tried a million soft reset and hard resets.
7. I have tried loading the music in Windows Media Player Mobile which works perfectly but does not change anything to the problem I have with the TF3D player.
8. Following stevedpl7's comment, I went in the file explorer, created a new folder called My Music, then I cut and paste all the music from Storage/Music to Storage/My Music, went to the application data/HTC/AudioManager_eng/ and deleted the database file: AudioManager_Eng.vol, then I did a soft reset. When I now go to the music Tab, it crashes before I even get a chance to play a song. In the music list, I can see all the transferred files.
9. And many other small things....
Any idea or suggestions?
Just a quick question about where you are putting the music files?
I have exactly the same problem if i save my music foldes to Internal Storage\Music (which is where WMP saves them by default)
However when i created a 'My Music' folder in the Internal Storage\My Documents All worked fine. So Try....
Internal Storage\My Documents\My Music\''your music here''
As i said you may well have to create the 'My Music' folder, on my Diamond only My Pictures and My Videos were there by default.
Hope this helps.
I have the same problem, the only thing I can put it down to is the new 1.93 ROM from HTC, as it was working fine until I flashed the phone with this ROM.
I have tried the solutions above and it still isn't working, so if anybody else has further ideas please let me know, if not I'll wait for the official word back from HTC and post their solutions up here also.
Sadly, it didn't work either for me
Thanks you Stevedpl7 for the info, sadly I have tried and the problem even got worse
I went in the file explorer, created a new folder called My Music, then I cut and paste all the music from Storage/Music to Storage/My Music, went to the application data/HTC/AudioManager_eng/ and deleted the database file: AudioManager_Eng.vol, then I did a soft reset.
When I now go to the music Tab, it crashes before I even get a chance to play a song. I the music list, I can see all the transfered files.
Are those files made from scratch on your or the customer's PC, or were they downloaded from the Internet? I know that some downloaded MP3s are defective, furthermore some players do not understand all variations of the MP3-format like VBR, joint stereo et al. There is no strict "standard" for MP3, the technology has developed over the years and no one has made an attempt to define "levels" as they did with MPG-2 or with DivX. So there is always a level of uncertainty whether a player is able to play all files. A resampling with a MP3-software or even converting them from MP3 to WMA might help.
It's always a good idea to use WMP on the PC to create MP3 or WMA. Not because it excels in quality, but because it uses very standard features in the format.
Have fun!

They are mainly downloaded MP3s and a few WMAs. When I transfer the files using WMP, some are converted. The thing is that all these files work fine in Windows Media Player on the Phone.
I just realised that there is a possibility that if your MP3's has the album artwork embedded into the files. the audio manager would crash.
currently i'm doing a trial and error of it and have yet to fully test everything out just yet.
would anyone like to comment or verify if the embedded artwork might be the cause of crashes?
I think you are right. I have tried putting one song with the artwork embeded and it crashes the software!!!
erm. and yet. i did manage to sneak in one album with an embedded artwork. :\
but that was 1. i tried it with another album with the embedded artwork and had a crash.
I'm now thinking about giving up and installing TF3D config tool to hide the music tab and then install the old audio manager to play the music

just spent 3 hours trying to figure out which mp3's work and which doesnt.

Same problem here, anyone knows how to solve this?
Note even the original demo tunes work
Audiomanager worked fine before (1.37 ROM), but when I updated to 1.93.413.3 SVE not even the "built in" demo tunes work. It just hangs on the first tune... Removing the .vol file does not solve the problem. Windows Media player can play the tunes without problems.
Use MP3Tag to mass delete all coveralbum info from your MP3 files on the PC side and then resync everything back using WMP. This solved all freezing problems with the TF Audio Manager for me. MP3Tag can be found here: http://www.mp3tag.de/

Confirmed that this method does work
Works but people embed album art coz they want it to show up in the AudioManager in the first place. Now the only way to do is, is to extract the album art, rename it to folder.jpg and put it in the song's album folder. This is a really huge hassle especially if u've got tons of files embedded with album art....
Did you find a solution in the end ?
This issue is not tolerable for such a ppc... .
So if I happen to copy too many albums or mp3 files, my phone would crash and won't be the music ?

U have to remove your embedded album art from your mp3 first before transferring, and then extract that album art and put it in the same folder as the mp3 with the name folder.jpg. A huge hassle for people who have a huge collection of mp3s with embedded artwork.
Anyways, I've written to HTC Tech Support about this and "strongly suggested" to them a ROM update for this issue.
Audio Manager crash with mp3 in VBR mode ! I've converted my mp3 in CBR mode, and all went ok !
Is there a better solution to this than removing the embedded artwork?
