Windows media player in cocked ROMs - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Having looked for a solution both by searhing the forums and playing with the files myself I try to ask the question here:
On all ROMs I have tested the windows media player have not been able to load playlists with even a few albums, due to memory problems. The original HTC roms have never showed this problem. To further investigate I have stripped the HTC 6.1 ROM to get the correct files, but I've only put them in a separate folder and did not burn them into the ROM so the about dialog still shows the same version.
SO - my questions are:
Do I need to replace all dll-files in ROM (that is, to the windows folder) to get the complete correct version, or is it sufficient to have them in a separate folder together with the exe?
Do some of you coockers have the detailed insight to tell me what files I need to change?
Or am I completely off - is the error in some of the registry tweaks, and not in the player files?
(When I asked this directly in the thread for one of the ROMs I was told to that WMP isn't the best choice - this might be true, but I have my music library in wma-files and I need a player that accept the volume control from the HTC wired remote. If someone can point me to a player that fulfil these requirements I will forget about the WMP )

DOWNLOADING WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER

Whats the correct link to downloading windows media player for my XDA, PLEASE? I just recently successfully ran S E ROM I seemed to have lost it and I decided to totally erase it from my XDA and desktop. Though I have other media player progs like DivX now, I still want to have the windows media player too....
My device info:
-Version 3.0.12039 (Build 11178)
-ROM Version 3.17.03 ENG
-ROM Date 05/15/03
-Radio Version 6.18.00
-Protocol version 324e4
-Model No PW10A1
As always your help input is highly appreciated...Thanks!
as far as i know then it's in the rom and cant be installed
are you sure that when you mean deleted you dont mean that
the shortcut to the program is gon ?
if you have a file in your windows dir called wmplayer.exe then you just deleted the shortcut and can start that exe file or make a new shortcut yourself
Thanks, it worked. Now I'm still trying out how to open the files I want to listen to or watch. When I click settings, it takes me to 3 folders non of which is helpful:
-Local Content (which contains nothing)
-Web Favorites (also contains nothing)
-Organize Playlists ( New, Rename and Delete)
I usually store media files on my SD Card, but I cant seem to navigate/access them from WMP.
Also, how do I create a link or icon to either Programs or the Today screen?
Thanks once again.
I think media player likes files to be in my documents folder either on pda or sd card.
when i enter the play list and make a play list and want to add something i press the green +
and i get a list called all content
and it conclude every wma and mp3 file on my device then i add those i want on my play list and it play them
and yes all my media is also on the sdcard
of cause in general i dont use wmp at all
i use winipaq the winamp for pocketpc i like it much more then wmp

New to Windows Mobile

Let's pretend I'm new to windows mobile. (I am). Can anyone tell me HOW I get to these HKEY directories that everything is edited in. If anyone could give me a step-by-step instruction on how to install or modify anything at all in the phone, I would greatly appreciate it.
Please start the steps right after the 'Turn on phone' step, as I am fairly confident I have that under control. Every time I've asked this question on other forums I just get links to different forums with no helpful information below a certain level of expertise. I have never coded or done anything other than drag and drop folders, etc so a dumbed down version of how to start and I can learn from there. Anything! PLEASE!!! I hate having this amazing machine and not being able to utilize it.
oh, Touch Pro, sprint
First you need to install a registry editor. The two most used are PHM (free http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/) or Resco Explorer (paid http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/). I prefer Resco, but everyone has their own pref.
And installation, you fire it up and simply navigate it to your registry. Pretty straightforward.
I downloaded the free one but it isn't showing up in my phone. I navigated to its folder on my pc and everything seems to be zipped. when I unzip the file extensions are *.001 and I can't open or access them. am I doing something wrong ?
also, if anyone can explain to me how to install .net framework ?

i assume you need the new 3.5 .net compact framework.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en
You simply download and install the file on your computer (not your mobile device). This file will install the framework on your computer and will activate the add/remove programs on the sync center, so the next time you connect your touch pro it will ask to install the program. Then you just follow any instructions displayed on your touch pro for final installation and you're set to go!
here's on .Net http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=470
It has an extra app to choose a default .Net.
There's also a Tips and Tricks section and a walk through for TouchFlo3D at fuzemobility.com that you may want to try.
I can relate to this problem.

I have a Alltel HTC Touch Pro. The software that came with it does not work with Vista. I googled active sync for Vista, I got links to Windows Mobile Device Center. I installed that onto my desktop. It syncs my phone to my desktop, but only shows my device memory and the storage card. I have installed downloaded and installed net.frame. When I downloaded Advanced Config Tool and draged and drop (also copied & pasted) into the device memory and tried to click the cab. file it only shows that it will go to the c: drive on my desktop. I do not see anything showing for the windows on my device. Hopefully someone can post some useful infomation about this. Yes I did use search, that lead me here. There are lots of complete noobs. Before we can add useful information for others. ( like showing off the really cool function of these new phones we have to be able to use them ourselves. Thanks for any help.
Here's some tips that might help you:
When plugging your Touch Pro into your PC via USB, you should be prompted on the Touch Pro whether you want to connect as "ActiveSync" or "Disk Drive". You should click "ActiveSync" for installing applications.
If you are using your desktop PC and download an application for your Touch Pro, it will typically be .exe or .cab. The .exe files are intended to run on your desktop PC first, and will then trigger an installation to your Touch Pro through ActiveSync (Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista).
If the file is a .cab, it is intended to run on your Touch Pro directly and will install the program. To move a .cab to your Touch Pro, you use the explore feature in ActiveSync (or similar feature in Mobile Device Center), and drag and drop. (Alternatively, you can download .cab files directly onto your phone from the source website using the Opera web browser). Once the .cab is on your Touch Pro, you use the file explorer program on your phone to naviagte to the file and then execute it.
When you install programs onto your TouchPro, a dialogue appears on the phone to walk you through the installation. To save your phone's shared memory, you can install programs to your memory card. Unfortunately, some applications work best when installed onto the phone versus installing them onto the memory card.
Hope that helps
Thank you very much for your reply. I'll give this another try. I had the Alltel HTV Touch Flo awhile back and was running XP on the desktop. If I remember correctly, I saw my device in the tree layout with the software running XP. I gave the Touch Flo to a family member and got a BlackBerry Curve. Wanted to go back to a windows platform for the versitilty of programs. I know everything has a learning curve to it. With lots of reading and study, trial and error, and help from generous people here. Noobs like myself can get a lot more use and enjoyment from their devices. Each new version that comes out is getting faster, more powerful, and has more features. Others see these things that we have and want one. It would be helpful if we could help them to see all the possibilities that are there. The I Phone gets a lot of attention with commercials and has opened up for new apps being developed. There are as many, if not more apps for widows. We just have to learn to implement them with our device. I know I did not start this thread, but others can see the original posters title and understand their, and my question. Thanks again to the reply, and to anyone else who comes up with more help for the noobs.

[Q] How to hide unwanted mp3 files from windows media player

Hello
I wish to hide some audio files from Windows Media Player 10 Phone.
for example when I choose Update Library on Windows Media player 10 Phone, I want to WMP don't add audio files from My Ringtones folder & My SMStones folder to its library, because I don't want listen unwanted mp3s every time I use media player!
Everybody has a solution to help Windows Mobile Phone Owners!?
This is an arsed about method, but, remove the file you don't want media player to see, then update the library,, finaly replace the remaining files from whence they came
Thank u, But after next "update the library", they will be added to windows media player library.
A better solution?
for starters you could browse this thread "[REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks", if no satisfying solution is provided there, then:
- one option is to use different music player, e.g. Nitrogen (free) or Pocket Player ($$$)
- another to set folders you don't want to see as hidden in file explorer - but the you will not see them in other apps should the need happen,
- finally, you can edit the registry to exclude unwanted folders in the way described here - works for me, at least for the folders on SD Card

Poweramp does not classify songs by modification date after flash ROM

Hello guys,
I have a problem when using Poweramp music application.
I always used the application sorting songs by modification date (that way, it plays the latest music first).
I used CM 12.1 when used this way. (It worked correctly sorting by date modified files).
But after Flashed the jelly bean stock ROM, (I blinked with 6 GB PIT), sorting by date of modification does not work anymore ... (both ROM jelly bean stock, as in CM 12.1 (which I am using again ).
When you sort by file management applications, correctly classify the songs.
Can someone help me? (I have already sent a bug report to pweramp team, but they said that some devices fail to read the timestamp, but I always used that function, only now does not work.)
Note: already activated the option into Settings> Folders and Library> Lists and tick "Sort By Filesystem Date / Time" (does not work)
*What do I do? No problem if you delete all my data in a procedure, the only requirement is that I want to use the CM12.1.
Thank you so much.
Good morning people,
I managed to solve the problem.
Despite the explorers get properly classifcar the files by date modified, do not know why the poweramp could not do it (tested my memory card in two other mobile phones with poweramp, and presented the problem).
The solution was: Move all the songs to your computer, and then copy back to the memory card, so that old songs were glued first (In Windows, enable the date modified column, press upon it, the old songs should appear at the top, done that, select all, copy and paste the card. the new songs will be pasted last but with that the date / time change is more recent). When I did this, the songs have replaced the modified date for the current date, and have been classified correctly.
Simple and strange, but it worked. : D
Thanks

How to download complete mp3 files from a music website

Hi I am Rupesh from India. I have android mobile phone.
I have seen a music website which contains 9000 mp3 files and from that I need 3000 mp3 files and these files are contained in a separate category and again these files are arranged into sub categories.
I know about offline browsers and I have used some of them on windows os but at present I don't have Windows PC or laptop. some of which I used was neo downloader which is used to download complete image files from a website and it worked very nicely and it was easy to understand.
I am new to httrack and have no idea about scanrules, mime associations etc., I have tried to download complete mp3 files using httrack but I am unable to understand the options I mean filters,flow control etc.,
I want to download only mp3 files and discard all other file types including HTML,CSS,js,jpeg etc.,. The site structure must be present.
If you suggest httrack please try to suggest the options I mean scanrules, type/mime associations.
Is there any tool based on httrack which provides simpler GUI interface for android mobile phone.
Regards,
Rupesh.
