I'm the former owner of a Kaiser and I really love that phone I'm in the process of replacing the screen but in the meantime I bought a G1 and I kinda fell in love with it but there's still 3 things I miss 2 I don't think will every be on google os is tomtom, windows live. and htc album manager so my question is can htc album manager be cooked or flashed or pushed to the android ? I really liked the music player cause it had audio manager which was the equalizer so can this be done or is there an equalizer for the g1 I have the audiohack and the headphone booster there's like no overall sound cause I use my phone as my mp3 when I'm driving so the external speaker is louder but distored and the headphone boost is not that great. Any input is greatly appreciated

I don't believe there is any third party player that has an equalizer or whether the HTC Music app from the Hero has one. Nothing can ever ported from Windows Mobile.
yea I figured that when I first got my g1 and tried 2 download winlive and it said it can't be run on google system oh well maybe microsoft will make a winlive app 4 google one day. and maybe on of these great devs on here will make a equalizer 4 the g1

CoPilot is on the Market for like $35 or something. Its a full nav software with online updates as well as offline navigation. From what I hear, definitely worth the money.
yea it does especially if u can update it online and it's free. Sounds awesome thanks will look into it

Great app in the market that can make ringtones from our mp3's, very easy app to use!
Saw the application and really liked the user interface. Any program like this for WM? It would really make a good replacement for mp3 trimmer.
I have one in signature called mixx mobile, check it out...
I had tried using that app not to long ago and it didn't work for me. It wouldn't play any audio I tried importing and they were mp3's. Plus it locked up every minute so I gave up on it. Not going to purchase an app if it doesn't work.

I am aware of that. MP3 Trimmer is the program in HTC's Audio Manager. It is what I was looking to replace. Mixx Mobile looked pretty good, but failed to work properly. Thanks for the suggestion though.
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

No Problem Glad I Was Of Use
Mostly working on HTC Touch Pro
I have HTC Touch Pro Just got my replacement in the beginning of the month with Win6.1 and upgraded rom. App works great and plays complete songs. Graphics are off, but I will take the working music over the miss aligned graphics. Just a little pause between songs, but not too bad.
Great work on getting the app running.
WVGA Version?
Any chance for a version that displays the controls properly in WVGA (aka Touch Pro 2)?

Works on the imagio
Thanks!!
Fonts are tiny
graphics are off to the rights
can't shut it off...have to turn off the phone
But it plays my stations in the car!
I'm saddened by this. I tried it on my Imagio (Whitestone). The graphics are pretty messed up but it connects and plays... almost.
It will play a song.. cut off ~ the last 15 seconds, go to a connecting screen and about 30 seconds later start the next song. Rinse and repeat for every song.
Anyone know of a working version of this app?

pandora wvga
i found a wvga cab on the htc-touchpro2 forum. still has its downsides though...
I have att nexus with service. If i flash a rom, do I need to change any setting to have phone functionality completely working? What is the best image out there for a noob that just needs tethering and maybe a little bit snappier n1?
Thanx in advance
The best suggestion would probably be to stay stock for a while and explore the system as it is, since it's great even completely stock.
You can try Cyanogen mods. Just make sure you read the wiki properly and do what it says. You do not have to change any settings to get the original functionality. You will lose the apps you have installed when you flash a new ROM. So back them up first.
thanx
thank you, coming from an iphone 3g, i should have done this soooo long ago. the n1 is so much faster at everything. I used to listen to a bunch of podcast, is there anything out there like itunes that i can grab all the podcasts from?
thank you
yes just install google listen, it does all audio podcasts, and even syncs them with your google account.
other podcast apps will do video if that's what you want.
what about music player?
what is everyones favorite music player?
since being stuck on apple for 2 years never new what a real phone should be. my n1 is worth every penny.
thanx

Doubletwist is a pretty nice media player (video/audio), a lot of others use cubed as their media player (both free), doggcatcher is a good podcast app (great audio and video podcasts), doggcatcher isn't free but you can refund paid apps for a little while after purchase if you dont like them
Hi Everyone,
My HD7 arrived today and I have started to set it up etc. (I am in the UK)
Any questions you want to know fire them at me.
I am coming from a Galaxy S so it does seem a tad limited for now until the apps catch up.
So far I have noticed the following oddities.
OS based Issues MS need to fix
Video player does not play audio via A2DP. (music does)
Bluetooth settings lack any options for type (Headset/Stereo) settings (no real issue)
Mobile IE does not render Toodledo/slim well so not sure about other sites.
Zune software - Podcast section does not appear in market in UK have to add rss feeds manually to the app.
No custom ringtones/other sound settings
No option to connect to WIFI with hidden SSID
Only syncs main calendar from any source not any additionals.
Media HUB only remembers the location of the last video in the play list that is "paused" once you move to other items of music or other videos it forgets the place.
Other issues not OS related. (all will be fixed over time with good apps)
Lack of apps is a real issue on day one. This should change.
No TODO app with push notifications available! big issue for me.
YouTube App just loads the m.youtube.com so its really just a player engine once you pick a video from the site.
Videos get converted on the fly during sync which makes this a slow process. Should kick off the conversion as soon as you say sync to phone.
Other than these points the phone itself is really nice and fast, no lag at all.
Takes some getting used to but I am trying hard to make it all work.
Russ
No connection to hidden SSID? That sucks!
Can you categorise imported/synched videos into any album you want and rename the albums? So I could have say one video album labelled FAMILY, one labelled, FUNNY, one labelled MOVIES etc
Thanks for the input. What's your opinion of the screen coming from samoled? How is the ringer volume compared to the Samsung?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I got mine today, just sold my Galaxy S, still have my iPhone 4.
Screen is almost as good as iPhone, nothing like Super AMOLED sadly.
Biggest issue for me is speakers are terrible.
Kev
Oh okay thanks for the info. I had an ip4 so if its close to that I am cool. I hate to hear the speakers suck. That's big issue for me. Especially since I can't add my loud ringers I usually add if speakers suck on the phones I get

I thought the HTCs had Dolby Surround or whats it called How can they be worse than the competitors?
I may be mistaken but Dolby Sound and SRS only work when headphones are plugged in. Maybe someone can confim.
i Can confirm that both SRS and Dolby mobile work through headphones and through the speakers, when putting on Dolby does make it sound slightly louder and clearer for me!!
That's great to hear

As far as I can make out on my Zune software I can not group videos into playlists so there does not seem to be an easy way to get it to auto sync unless you pick the ALL option.
Still messing with it though.

Agreed, the screen is nowhere as good as the Galaxy but if you have never had a Super Amoled then I dont think you will be disappointed.
Speaker volume is very low compared to my Galaxy also. I thought the grills at top and bottom were speakers but they are just for show.
The speaker is next to the camera on the back.

This is not true, without the Youtube app you can't play Youtube Videos from the website. The App contains necessary Code/Drivers which allow you to play Youtube videos whethere going through the App/Link or from IE.
Also the Front Mounted Speakers are still being questioned. HTC seemed to have advertised the phone to Reviewers/Critics as having "Front Mounted Stereo Speakers" however atm they are either not used (software update required from M$) or HTC were lying. I'd like to hope it's teh first one but you never know
The Screen on mine is brilliant when the brightness is set to High. When on Auto it seems to keep screen brightness on Medium which is a bit rubbish and doesn't show it off very well. Get it on High and you'll notice the difference. It's (very) hardly noticable from the HTC Desire's when they're side by side, but the fact it's massive far outways that.
Thats was my point about it being just a player engine (codecs etc). I was comparing what I know from Android for a youtube app and was suprised it was not a full in app experience.
But being able to play the videos at all is a big plus.
Agree on the screen, set on HIGH it looks very nice and anyone will be happy with it but I am not sure what impact the battery is going to take. Side by side with a galaxy S though you do see the difference but if you never had a super Amoled then you wont care at all.
What is a score with Low - Med - High anyway, wheres the slider for brightness. Seems like a miss that should have been easy.
Russ
Ah apologies I misread you on the YouTube thing. I've left my screen brightness on high for a few days now and I must say I haven't even noticed a difference in battery life, although tbh my battery life is terrible anyway. Why HTC chose a 1200 instead of a 1500 is beyond me.
Waiting on my new HTC HD7 arriving this afteroon, been using an HTC HD2 with hacked Android and love it apart from the bugs etc...
Have 14 days to decide weather its worth it or if i need to switch carries to the Desire HD...
Hurry up DHL!!!
Did you already try to install on your HD7 some .CABs developed for WM6 ?
There are a couple of apps (SPB Wallet, iGO8) I couldn't live without, and losing them under WM7 would be a big problem.

...you mean that NO existing app running on WM6.x will run under WM7 ?
No backward compatibility ?
Apps have to be completely rewritten ?
Please tell me I'm wrong
PS WM7 = Windows Mobile 7
exactly, WP7 and WM6 are 2 different pairs of shoes. You also cannot run a Windows program on a Commodore C64 Btw. there is on Windows Mobile 7, it´s called Windows Phone 7,
