I was able to get rid of Cingular/ATT's crap ROM and put I-mat's in.
Now get signal and can make calls again.. but can't get to to sync with Window's Media player 11.
Question 1. Is I-mat the best Rom out there for the HTC StarTrek. I was told at one site that I-mat was (only found i-mate_Smartflip_WWE_1.2.301.2_ship)
Question 2. If so how in blazes do I get it to sync with Window's Media player?
Any Help would be appreciated.

please don't flame me for not searching the forums if such a topic has already been discussed - my search function simply isn't working. I have however browsed the forums with no luck. I was simply wondering if it is possible to use my athena as a media extender- not just control it but view videos, music and pictures the same way i would through an xbox or a pc.

orb is ok but id prefer something to directly sync with my Media Center setup at home.
Also my Athena crashes whenever Media Player loads up. I've got PK's Black Touch 2.0. Applied the WM fix but it didn't work.
Wondered if anyone has tried this..... haven't had chance yet

Try using Webguid on your media center pc. It integrates into the mediacenter application and is a ton more stable than Orb (especially on Vista). It's free for XP and Vista media center users and is very easily navigated on a laptop or handheld (more than Orb was anyway, and yes I've used both). Webguide is the closest I've come to turning my handheld into a media center extender as I can get.
I don't have the url, but a quick google for webguide+mediacenter should get you going in the right direction. Also, try using TCPMP to view the streaming on your handheld instead of WMP.
Good luck.

If it helps, I tried the various WMP fixes without success until I saw the one about previewing the skins. This is what worked for me:
1) In options uncheck open in library screen.
2) In landscape mode go to options and select skin tab. Wait until the skin appears - takes a few seconds
3) In Portrait mode do the same as for 2)
That worked for me. I don't think I did the "play a track from playlist" trick, but I did have a playlist set up. Reason I can't be sure is that this is the third time I've had to rebuild my Athena with PK2.0 because previous 2 versions got stuck during hard reset after I had set various things up.
Hope this helps someone
hey guys,
im a napster (the LEGAL www.napster.com) customer. so if i go to napster.com i can login and hear via browser streamed music (and have access to my playlist etc)
this works very fine for me - on my computer! if i login with the standard browser on the htc, or opera mini, then the website says "you are using safire bla bla". so my question is, is it possible with any market app (my phone is rooted) to hook the send browser signature, so that the htc browser sends for example the signature of firefox?? i know a plugin for the real firefox which enables the possibility to change the sig to any you want (eg iexplore..), thats actually what i need, or is there any other possibility?

I've been looking for the same thing... no luck. I know they have a regular napster for some phones. I don't understand why they wouldn't make a windows mobile version. It seems pretty dumb not to.
any other having a solution for our problem?
Hi all, have 2 questions re using Hero with media:
1- Still haven found an easy way or prog to make a playlist on the pc, and have it exported (inc the mdeia files of course) to the hero in one step. Hero doesnt show up on songbird, Windows MP syncs the files, but have to manually save and move the playlist to the phone. Am i doing something wrong? Just want an easy ipod like solution, so i can take what i need with me everyday.
2- Any way to play the media files i have on my pc on the hero over wifi when i am at home? Ie just browse my netowrk shares and play what i want, as i would from another pc? Tried some of the dlna options, but it needed to cache the whole file onto the hero before it would play which is kinda defeating the objective!
Thanks in advance!
Answer to my first question, for others who might be wondering:
Installed double twist and it seems to do the job, just as i wanted it!
Hi,
I have had a look through the forums and cant seem to find any related issues to the current issue i have.
Using the stock player on the S3 i can see my pc's media server but can't connect to it, it gets stuck in an endless cycle of loading, now i have been through my pc in every possible way, my 360, PS3 and Desire S can all connect to the media server without issue, only the S3 can't, however if i enable media server on the S3 it will eventually allow me to connect to it via media player and play songs from my S3 but still not the other way around pc to S3.
If left it will come up with an error about content location not being available.
Having checked firewalls and streaming connections along with anti virus im still unable to get them to play nice and talk to each other properly.
Has anyone else had the same issue or can recommend anything, im running stock firmware unrooted on the S3 and windows 7 x64 on the pc.
Thanks for reading and for any advice given
Hey there! I've been trying to figure this out for quite a bit tonight and I'm wondering if someone here might be able to help me.
I'd like to find a way to change the sound files Android uses to play back MIDI files. Ideally, I would like to be able to playback MIDI files and have them sound exactly as they do on my Windows PC.
I can only assume that this would require finding where the Android MIDI database is stored and replacing its default soundbank with the Microsoft gm.dls file. I don't know if Android uses .sf, .sf2, .dls, or some other kind of file for its bank, but I'm fairly resourceful and I'm sure I can find a suitable replacement for the stock file.
I'm not sure how to find this file, but I'm sure some of you boffins on this board could figure it out and help me figure out how to replace it. I would really appreciate that. My phone is rooted and I'm fairly familiar with how ADB works (thank you, years of Linux use). I'm sure with a bit of help I could navigate it and pull off a switch.
My problem is that the stock midi is just... Just terrible. Me and my band use Guitar Pro to write up our songs and show them to each other and I would really like to to be able to show my stuff to my bandmates on the go. The problem is that it's really hard to get a picture of the song without that familiar Windows GM sound. We've been using it for so long that we can almost picture how the song will sound when we play it if we hear the Windows MIDI. We (or at least I) don't get that if we use the Android MIDI sound.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm kind of lost on this.
Thanks in advance,
Vincent Vespa
