If you happen to look through the XDA Portal from time to time, you see some posts referencing some cool Android apps and games. I came across this one by Keripo and thought you guys might like to try it out. I think it's great.
Here's a link to the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811822

The game currently doesn't support the direct downloading of song packs just yet, but that will be added in the next version (1.1b). But here is the way to add more songs for the time being. This is taken from the BeatsIIDX website:

Installing Stepfiles
Posted by Keripo on 2010-10-19 02:05:00 BST
For this beta release, you must manually install the songs. Future releases may have an integrated pack installer.
Once you have downloaded a song pack (from any of the above links), follow the following instructions:
1) Connect your phone to your computer and put it in USB mode.
2) Download a song pack in .zip/.rar/.smzip format from any of the above locations (or just use Google)
3) Use a file archiver (e.g. 7-zip/WinRar/WinZip) to extract the pack's content to your computer.
4) Copy the extracted folders into your phone's "Beats/Songs" folder. (Should be located on the root of your internal sd card)
5) Disconnect your phone and start up Beats on your phone
6) Use the "Select Music" menu item to navigate to the folder you just copied over, then navigate around and select a stepfile ending with '.sm'.
7) Press the "MENU" button to select stepfile difficulty and press the 'Start' menu item to play your song. If you have the "Auto-Play" setting enabled, the song will instead start automatically.
Note: Beats currently does not support .dwi files so if your song pack uses .dwi files, you must convert them to .sm files using StepMania. See the StepMania website for instructions. There is also the .ogg sync bug (see Android Issue #11590), so if your songs are encoded in .ogg, use a media convert/player such as foobar2000 to convert it to standard .mp3 format.

Lol stepmania port.
And a good one at that. V1.1b came out today in the market.
Sent from my Captivate
Thanks for this, it's a freakin sweet game! It'd be cool if the tracks were longer, other than that I love it! There's an abundance of songs you can download for it, plus it's free so I mean no one can complain about it.
RIP Stepmania 2004-2007.
Not trying to downplay this game at all, but what ever happened to the idea of an osu! port? If that's not gonna happen, the devs for Beats could look at their song installation system on the iphone for ideas

Hi folks
I'm having a problem with HTC's Audio Manager. When starting it up I get a corrupted display (see attachment).
The 'Player' menu item is also not displaying anything, so I take it the application has crashed
Has anyone else experienced this or better yet know a solution?
Thanks in advance

Yep. The same thing happend to me to when I activated the Music tab on Today screen and maximized the Audio Manager from running task list. When I switched from portrait to landscape it cleared up. Reboot didn't make a difference. I ended up deactivating the "Music" tab.
When I just start Audio Manager from "Programs" it's not messed up.
Thanks! Switching display modes does fix the display
Hopefully this will be fixed in a later version of HTC Audio Manager
Don't open audio manager through the tab and then maximize it through another program like wktask. what you have to do is click the tab again to actually open the program. that fixed it for me. I would get problems when i didn't do it that way.
I think I found a way around it ever corrupting. I had the same problem but this last time I installed the app (I've been flashing ROMs... a lot! ), the first thing I did was open audio mgr through the Programs icon, created a Playlist and played some music.
I then closed it and went to the Today music "tab" and when I click it once, it automatically loads the list and displays the first song in the little window; if I click again (with a song name displayed) it pops open the full Audio Mgr app without any corruption.
Just my two cents, hope this works for you.

Sounds completely unlogical... so reasonable enough for an MS product
Next time I flash, I'm definetly gonna try it out.
Install the seperate today plugin
Try installing the seperate today plugin. You don't need it enabled but I think installing it will help with the problem.

how to set up own ringtone mp3
its nots possible yet
Welcome to the enthralling world of a closed OS.
There was a post on one of the forums I read(don't remember which one) that stated there is a way to set a song as the ringtone while playing it. I don't know how true that is.
Also, here is an excerpt from Microsoft regarding rintones:
To find a ringtone in Marketplace
1
On Start, tap the arrow to go to the App list, then tap Marketplace .
2
Press the Search button.
3
Do one of the following:
•
To browse a variety of ringtones, type ringtones, then tap Enter .
•
To look for a more particular type of ringtone, type something more specific, like Halloween ringtones.
Tip
To hear what a ringtone or alert sounds like, tap Play .
Note
Marketplace may not be available in your country or region.

Sounds like they want you to purchase them from the Marketplace.
Please post in the proper sections on XDA-Developers.
To the HD7 area.

i tried the reg mod that lets the zune show up on the pc as a drive - its ment to let you use a zune as an external drive
anyway the reg edit let the hd7 show up on the "computer" page along with my hard drives
no file structure was visible tho so i couldn't browse to see any folders - i tried copying an mp3 onto the root but it wouldn't copy over
anyone else tried any thing or had better luck ?
Edit
forgot to say that the hd7 showed up as 2 drives guessing one is the phone and the other is the card

then plug in phone to pc - you should see the hd7 displayed as 2 drives
Excellent input. Thanks for the tip, one_mad_punk.
We know that WP7 formats the microSD card when you perform a hard reset.
NTFS ? FAT32 ? other type ?
Now we have to find the key to see its file system.
I've read that the phone stripes data across the builtin storage and the card. That means you won't be able to read anything off of them individually. They would have to be read in tandem at a binary level.
As far as I know the stripping info hasn't been confirmed by MS. The phone boots even without a card in it so it can't be stripping all of the builtin storage.
If you take the storage required for the phone OS away from what is built in I wouldn't have thought there would be very much left to make stripping worthwhile.
So ... maybe the phone only does stripping on phones like the Focus where two microSD cards may be present.
Who knows.

Hi,
Please follow the instructions.
A long press on a song in 'My Download' starts up a menu. Set it to ring tongs. The size of the song must be less than 1MB, length is less than 39 seconds. We provide a ring site(zedge) for users. Most of ring tones in there are available.
I take no credit for this, I'm just spreading the love.

Where are you supposed to find the IP of the device?
Just for Windows I see but that's cool I'm going to put it on my girls computer to helP her do some stuff more easily. I wish I knew how to break down components that make up .exe's and recompile them for LINUX.that is along the lines of the types of fun stuff I'm striving to learn in my LINUX journey.

I'd like to know what ip you want too... because it definitely didn't want the LAN address of my phone.
The UI is deceptive. You don't need to click the connect to button (and I'm not sure it even works properly). Just click on the Android (like you would when you setup the phone) and it will extend the UI and open up the options. They work and they are pretty useful. I think if the guy wrote up a nice little how to I'd probably kick him a few bucks.
!!!
This is actually a phenomenal package, and works great w/ the Bionic. Thank you for posting this, didn't expect this in the dev section and glad I found it.
EDIT!
I download the apk from the link below. No root needed! Works ok. App is a little blurry, guessing it was made for the smaller phone screen.
But hey, FREE MUSIC and no ads. Sweet! Love the "Dial" where we can switch music on the fly. Using it with my car's bluetooth connection.

yeah it works fine, thank you.
I saw a module related to this player in xposed, I think it helps those that can not run it. if you had any problems, maybe that will help you.
With the recent updates to Soundcloud angering me, and Pandora and other similar apps just not as appealing to me, I'm glad to see that there is a version out there for my 7.0 tab 3. I'm going to give this a shot after I finish jailbreaking my 5s (attempting a 7.1.2 update). Now the debate will continue... Samsung Tablet, Digital Camera... should I go for the phone or stick with iFruit... time will tell I guess this October.
Works with no root?
I have an HTC One and I downloaded the app and it installed but when I open the app it says device not supported. Am I missing something or was the "no-root" misadvertised. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
