Unusual request - Can I turn my Charmer into an MP3 player - MDA Compact II ROM Development

Hi peeps,
My Charmer has developed a fault with the phone funtion, where you cannot hear or be heard except in speakerphone mode of via a head set.
This is under both T-mobile official WM5 ROM and a host of you good peoples WM6 ROM's
In the end I have had to resort to using an old Nokia phone to use for voice. But I still love my Charmer and wonder if it could be utilised as a stand alone MP3 player.
So my question to you ROM developers is... ...is it posable for you to cook a ROM based on WM6 but remove all traces of the phone facility and to load straight into HTC Audio Manager or Windows Media Player?
As a side question is it also posable to keep the use of Bluetooth for use with Wireless head phones.
Thanks in advance.
Sad Chamer onwer Tichy

Fido, you can cook the ROM yourself. First download the Charmer Kitchen.
Then edit an OEM ROM to remove all the other icon the the START menu (leaving only your custom skinned audio player).
There is a Bluetooth stack floating around in the other thread that you can use (created by Panasonic).
Its much better when you customise the ROM yourself. I doubt Vlodec or ChrBeck will have the time for your special project. This would be an easy ROM for you to cook, since you already have all the 'unnecessary drivers' (that you wouldn't use), while downloading only a themed audio player and new bluetooth stack.

Yea guy right. I don't have time and such a ROM can be cooked good by beginners. If you need help with cooking tell me I'll try to help.

Tichy, I'll cook the ROM for you. Give me the URL of the exact WM6.1 ROM, and your 'Media Player' of choice. I'll add the Bluetooth (stack), and have al the extra stuff removed.

First time and 2 questions...

I just got my XDA II and loving it. This is my first post here, I've been looking for a great XDA site and now I found one.
First question is, how do you guys find all those ROM updates and Radio Stack upgrade? I have 1.60.00WWE and Radio version 1.08.00. Is there a new rom upgrade out there that I can't find in myxda.com site?
Second question, could I replace the Microsoft Bluetooth stack so I can use my bluetooth headset to listen to music or videos?
Thank you for your time,
Eberhard
I can answer the second question, the bluetooth on the xda2 does not allow listening to music through bluetooth headset neither has the full handsfree/headset profile been implemented. A very clever person has however written a program called pocket bluetooth tools which go some way to addressing some of the shortcoming regarding serial port profiles. Some of the later roms however have negated the need for this program. Run a search on this forum for "bluetooth", make sure you have an hour or two to spare.

As you know,the Xda 2 is name by thousand of other names like MDA2,I-Mate pocket pc phone,Q-tek 2020,etc..
The official upgrades you can find everywhere,especially on the company site like: www.clubimate.com (I-Mate)
www.myxda.com (Xda-O2)
www.qtek.nu (Q-tek)
Who let you download the newest upgrade by free.
-Actually there isn't such implemetantion on curent bluettoh stack but,have you tryed installing the new Bluetooth hacked Stack from Widcomm?
I give u the link for Access the Lan over Bluetooth,then you will find the link to the download of the Stack named BluetoothGPS.zip

Thanks for all the tips you guys given me. I tried bluetooth stack and so far it works.
As for the hack on the bluetooth, I'm going to try it now.
But it still don't fulfill my satisfaction as I can't listen to music thru my bluetooth headset, at least not with bluetooth tools.
Thanks again, I hope this bluetooth hack will solve my needs to listen to music over my headset.
what hack are you guys talking about ??
i ve installed widcomm stack and the kai patch. when the widcomm manager connects to the headset it gives beeping sounds but after i answer the beeps there is no sound on my imate or the headset..
what hack are you guys talking about ??
Well, I tried the Widcomm BT tools and the darn thing don't work. 2 Bluetooth Icon Appeared on the bottom and I tried to connect my Headset and it doesn't want to stay connected when I hit the connect button. It would sound on but then it turns off and I can't answer a call with it.
Does Widcomm BT has to be installed with the Bluetooth Tools?

Thanks very much Sin!
Been Looking forward to this SiN! Made my weekend!
Thank Sin for putting it together.
I originally Had and Orange SPV M1000, and upgraded it with the O2 1.72 version, in the hope that it would sort out the problems with Blue Tooth and Handsfree car kits, which it did not of course.
Thought I would try the rom from Mystery Man, which interestingly did not require any changes to the files to allow it to update, which also did not work the blue tooth, so I was going to try just updating the Radio to 1.18, but saw your new package pop up, so thought what the hell, give it a go, and now I am made up cos been very frustrated that it would not work in car kit.
The car kit I have is the Nokia CK-7W Blue tooth if this helps anyone else, I also assume it will work with the others, in particualr the built in ones in BMW's.
So thanks again everyone, I can sleep now.

Other known issues..
Thanks for the job SIN!
I have to point out a couple of issues I'm having since long, that seem related to the BT problem, but looks like no one else is having: "DUAL STEREO" sound in both (XDA II and Handsfree/headset) devices.
No matter BT headset is "enabled" or "disabled", the devices configured as "handsfree" are operational. Plus, my HBH 35 headset refuses to work unless configured as a handsfree device. After that, every handsfree device works in "STEREO" mode. Nice for multi part conferences, but annoying for your caller, who hears every tap on the XDA in your pocket, since the mic is operational no matter what.
I'm really the only one with this problem?
:?:
Hi Sin
Just a quick question, tried to change the splash1 & 2 images, to get away fro O2 image you put into file, but having probs with corrupted display if the image, howd you do it please, as I understand the normal method does not work with Chinese and Trial versions !
Many thanks in advance.

Does the headset mic work on handsfree profile Sin?
thanks Sin
I tried to modify the extended ROM to modify the provider list but couldn't found the autoconfig.txt, is it ok to create autoconfig and put it there? or did you merged the autoconfig inside Sin.Merged.v1.0.cab?
please let me know
thanks

Re: Other known issues..
Looking Glass,

I have a bmw with bluetooth and it does the dual stero trick.

Has any one tried removing the head set profile and leaving just the hands free
Thanks

Other Bluetooth Devices
Before I try out these new updates which sound fantasic, I am interetsed to know how this will effect my bluetooth GPS.
Currently I am using bluetooth tools to connect my GPS to my XDAII, does the new roms enhance bluetooth or should I still install bluetooth tools?
thanks.

ExtendedROM...
@ Sin,
This merge ROM version of yours, what is the most very important file that I need to keep on my extended_ROM? Last time I used your version without any problem But I need to remove some CAB file for my own customization. But now seems that ms_.nbf has only one file (Sin.Merged.v1.0.cab) which I think all the CAB file was in there.
Is it possible to gave us your merge CAB without the rest of installed program? Or is it okay to delete some CAB on extended_ROM after installation (cooked-own ROM style)?
Thanks!

Nice to know, thanks for info, I was about to think no one else has the problem.
I've been experimenting during the weekend, and found that the problem remains quite the same: some headsets/handsfree only work if the HandsFree profile is selected, and then the "dual stereo" problem arises again.
By contrast, version 2.20 properly handles every "audio" device (at least my devices) but I haven't found how to made BT ActiveSync back to life. Plus the other known issues with the translation (May I help Buzz_lightyear?)
Resume: Excellent job by Sin (regards) but the whole BT thing is not yet fixed. I like his "new compact" Ext Rom, but since HandsFree profile is at this time more important to me than BT ActiveSync, I'm going back to 2.20.
Not there yet...

I have a CoPilot Bluetooth GPS unit and it does not need Bluetooth Tools to get it to work via serial port emulation. I'm using 2.06 ROM.
With the BT GPS bonding, you get to say you want it to be a serial port but you don't get to specify what specific port number like with Bluetooth tools. This is not a problem with CoPilot software as it will FIND the serial port and baud rate in it's Bluetooth connection/configuration setup.
I also have a SanDisk SDIO WiFi card which also works fine (note the card is NOT the SDIO RAM+WiFi though!).

Hi again!
How exactly did you get to eliminate de "Dual stereo" effect in your carkit? I have too a HBH 35 headset and the problem remains on both of them.
This is my only complain, everything else works so well! And Sin made such a good job putting the Ext Rom together!
Thanks Sin for the easy to install ROM.. well done.
My Bluetooth GPS works fine, a bit of a change not having to select a port, but the port is displayed so that wasn't a problem.
My Logitech Headset refuses to work. It pairs with the XDAII but I am unable to iniate a call from the headset and the mic doesn't work.
The Bluetooth smybol is gone from the task bar too... probably something I did...
Is there a cab about that allows me to reinstall the bluetooth section just in case I stuffed somethign up?
Thanks.

is HTC E100/W100 headset supported?

i would liketo buy it
but it does not say its compatible with Tytn/Hermes
actually what the story inside?
It´ll work fine.
You just need to know that the buttons ONLY work for WMP (and HTC player....).
So If you use TCPMP or another player, the remote is useless. You will still get audio though. But if it´s just the audio you want, there are much cheaper solutions that work.

Unfortunately my Vodafone V1605 don't recognize it! I've downloaded and isntaled the RC W100 driver from the official HTC Site, but it don't work with WMP... the answer button don't make any effect...
I use the Schap's Rom 4.31... perhaps i must change the rom?
I've a Wired Remote Controller dopod S1 bought to ebay.
Unfortunatelly my Tytn don't recognize this rc-w100... exist a full working driver for TYTN alias Hermes????
I've downloaded the official driver and i extracted and installed "manually" all the singular cab files!!!!
The results is listed above:
all the Remote_controller_Y-cable_Ax files, the Y-cable_B1_070323 and the Y-cable_E1_070323 and don't works and they produces a blank screen after the reset (so i have made an hard reset everytimes!)
Remote_controller_P1_070316.cab and the Y-cable_HERM1_070316.cab don't make any changes and the rc-w100 isn't recognized at all!
Remote_controller_AT1_070316.cab mute all the sound alsoo if i disconnect the RC-W100
Only with Remote_controller_Y-cable_T1_070316.cab the RC-W100 is recognized as a simple headphone
SO DON'T EXIST A FULL WORKING FUC***NG DRIVER!!!????
i'm desperate...

yeah i could do with that driver too.
E100 Driver cabinets, anyone?
Just got this POS today-when I plugged it in to a stock WM6 TyTN ROM, it didn't do squat-no work at all-no sound to the phones even!
I rooted around and found the remote_controller_Y_cable_T1_070316.cab and dropped it in-now I get headphone sounds at least, but everytime I try to launch the installer It says I have the latest drivers-and I can't seem to catch the thing at the point where I can snap up the cabinets.
Can someone post the other cabinets?

Can someone put up the driver for the rc-w100? Couldnt find one on the official site. Tried googling but its nowhere to be found. Bought it on ebay, checked the "compatibility list" and my VOX is there. This kinda sucks.
Try htc music plug-in 1.0, I install it then my rc E-100 worked!But you can't use it with a Y cable.

RC E100 doesn't work

I use this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558691 and I bought a RC E100.
My problem is that it only works with WMP and not with TouchFlo or FMRadio. I tried to install the Driver but the setup says that the driver is already installed. Does anyone have the cab version for this or can say where the installer places the cab on HDD? (Maybe someone could copy the original files from TD2 stock rom?)

It works on my TD2. I once had a problem with this though on my Diamond (1). This was caused by using Touch Flo Detacher though. Are you using something similar?
i've got the same problem with my bluetooth headset (call and phonebook access work, the rest jumps to WMP.
I'm fairly certain it's a custom ROM thing. (unless the chef specifically made sure to keep external music input working for Touch Flo and not WMP)
i am very interested if there is a fix for this.
it is indeed a bug with custom roms, the official 6.5 ROM works perfectly with the RC E100 on my diamond 2. and so do all custom rom which does NOT use Sense. Manila 2.1 worked with alle custom roms i had, unfortunately the chefs dont care about this so ill stick with stock 6.5 rom, btw.. the mediaplayer isnt THAT bad to use with the RC E100 - its just ugly.

the rom in question https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573449
Wonderful rom but every gear rom is missing this function so you can't use bluetooth headsets with them, i'm using my gear as a language learning device so i'd really like to find a way to add this to this ancient rom, should I just give up and buy a new watch or is it possible to add a2dp to it?.
Many thanks for any answers.
