I am looking for tweaks to do the following on my MDA (Tmo USA, WM5, 2.26 rom)::
Disable Clearvue PDF and instead enable Adobe as default PDF viewer (Clearvue sucks, I want my PDF files to open natively using Adobe-- if I click on the PDF file Adobe opens it, currently Clearvue does this)
Set TCPMP as my default media and make Windows only activate if I want it to (so if I click on a media file it opens in TCPMP instead of opening in windows...currently I have to activate media by going through TCPMP, I want it to do that natively-- click on media file and TCPMP opens it)
I am not great at tweaking my registry, so if you know how to do this, please tell me in the "For Dummies" version (I use PHMRegedit)...and I have already checked the Adobe, TCPMP sites and googled on how to do this through the apps itself. Please help me.
Thank you in advance.
PS--...and yes, I searched FAQ's, and Hints/Tips threads, etc.
if you use 0.71 tcpmp an all plugins you can set tcpmp to open all files in the settings of the program. it lists many types in there. just check all the boxes and your icons will change to tcpmp ones.
I'm sorry but I have no knowledge on the other questions you asked. Hope I helped with the subject I know.

Thank you so much, that worked for TCPMP. I sure appreciate the help and prompt response. Thanks again!
***BUMP***
Can anyone help me with the Adobe associations over ClearVue?
Hi hi,
it seems that my Advantage is, whenever i try to play a mp3 song from my memory card will go to the options\Skins then shows searching for skins everytime, quite irritating as it does not just go to the player directly, i have transferred a new skin into the windows media player folder in program files and have transferred the old ones out to the memory card and it is still doing so.
Any tweak or any solution to it?
Sabadee My crup,
Not seen this before, what OS are you running WM5/6?
managed to solve it already, had to install a spb wmp player skin and that did the trick, am on WM5 thanks pal
Hi,
just for your understanding:
WMP does not save the last used skin on exit, if you change skin manually and move the default skin to another folder, WMP is asking you for a skin at startup. Installable skins are replacing the files in \windows folder, that's why they work properly. If you want to use your own skin permanently, you have to replace the files in \windows folder, like the installer does.
Best regards,

Hey there!
For those of you who might be interested in this, here's a classic black HTC branded skin I've adapted for Windows Media Player Mobile.
Cheers!
Installation instructions:
Copy the contents of the archive (all files, includin hidden) to DEVICE\Program Files\Windows Media Player and select it from within options in Windows Media Player.
P.S.: Feedback needed!
thank you A++++++
just what I was looking for !!! -- but can you please post the .skn file as well. I had flashed my rom, so I dont have the default skin at all. your black version does not contain that file.

Got home, checked! I knew I couldn't be a geek like that. Archive contains all files, some of them are hidden and you need to set your OS to show hidden/system files.
Cheers!

I haven't met this issue before but try this:
Back-up everything in your skins folder to your PC, delete everything and put the files from the archive in that folder. It should work.

Sorry bro... Can't help you there!
Never seen anything like this.
Soft reset maybe? (I would have said Hard reset but it's a pain losing all your programs because of a Media Player skin issue)
I see a problem
in the original folder on my PC I see nothing ( I display hidde files !!!)
so I can't copy all from my p3300 to PC
I try to install another program than media Player and I'll say you
yes you're right
I try anothyer way instead of hard reset

On your PC, go to folder options and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". Now you should be able to copy everything from your Trinity
Hi
I've seen the problem , sure it help some other guys
In fact I have installed Task manager before and I have customized the single Tap X for closing application and that was because the OK doesn't work , it was closing the setting instead of saving
Now I've set to Tap and hold X and it works fine
YEAHHHHHHHHH
I've made my skins (only updated existing ons found here with my photos )
AlbumArt related
Thought I'd write a few lines regarding AlbumArt, for those who might have problems displaying them.
The easiest way of getting album art to display on you Windows Mobile Media Player is to copy them to your device through Windows Media Player, aka synchronize them.
Files and albums in your PC library have tags and if instructed so, Windows Media Player downloads automattically/manually the album information of these files. This consists of ID tags plus album art. There are four files Windows Media Player downloads as album art: AlbumArt_{xxx}_Large (usually 200x200 px.), AlbumArt_{xxx}_Small (usually 75x75 px.), AlbumArtSmall (usually 75x75 px.) and Folder (usually 200x200 px.). These files are set attribute hidden.
When you sync music files with Windows Media Player to your device, it automatically copies these files to you device and Windows Media Player Mobile displays them.
Now, if you do not wish, for some reason, to have Windows Media Player download this information for you or you have a custom CD cover you'd like to use, it is enough to create a Folder.jpg (200x200 px.) inside your album folder and it will display the album art.
If you wish to manually add albums to your Mobile Device and/or having problems with displaying the album art, you can follow the step described above to create a Folder.jpg with the album art and Windows Media Player Mobile will display it.
Here comes the tricky part. The 200x200 px. album art images are great to be handled by Windows Media Player but they appear jerky on Windows Media Player Mobile. That is because the latter uses another album art image size to display. 200x200 px. album art files will show up, jerky though, but if you'd like to have a neat look of the album art files on your mobile device, resize the images to 154x154 px. (this is the dimension this skin uses) and you will get a neat result like the one attached.
Hope you find this info usefull!
Cheers!
Thanks for sharing, but i don't know how to use it, thanks

Media Player Touch themed skin!
I've been using the available Touch skin for Windows Media Player (credits for that go to monoberlin) untill I have discovered that while playing videos, they were not displayed right.
So inspired by that theme I have built a skin that has the issue fixed.
Hope you like it!
Skin uses 144x144 px album art for best displaying results in portrait mode and 112x112 px in landscape mode.
Cheers!
P.S.: Feedback needed, as always!
Landscape Also PLEEASE !

Thanks for this fix, please make the landscape as well because I use landscape for all my videos and I've been bothered by the bad display. Thanks
Landscape added to Post #17

Videos display better in portrait mode because it allows larger overlay display. Anyway, I've made the landscape too and updated the archive.
Cheers!
2nd Media Player Touch themed skin!
Here's another one, this time built completely from scratch.
Fixes:
- New, slick, intuitive buttons;
- Smoother interface;
- Larger video overlay size;
- Larger album art display (159x159 px )
Projects:
- Landscape mode for this one is in production so just portrait for now;
Cheers!

pomod - Mod player for PocketPC
-------------------------------
v.0.7.6
pomod ?!?
---------
- pomod is music player for PocketPC.
- pomod is based on the fmod libraries [www.fmod.org].
- pomod is free.
- pomod can reproduce these file formats: MP3, OGG, WAV, MOD, IT, XM and S3M.
Requeriments:
-------------
- A PPC with Windows Mobile 2002/2003/2005 or Windows CE (not tested yet).
- .NET Compact framework libraries installed (by default on WM2003 and up)
Installation
------------
- pomod does not require any special installation:
1- Choose your package according your processor type (ARM, MIPS or SH3)
2- Unpack the zip file
3- Copy the two files of the program (pomod.exe and fmodce.dll) in any folder you want
4- Execute pomod.exe!!
Usage
-----
- Play, stop, add file, save list... is really necessary to explain this?
- You can save the config of the program, it is always stored in a file called "conf.xml", the file is automatically read when program starts and should be stored on the same folder than pomod.exe is.
- pomod can save the playlist when closing and retrieve it when the application starts automatically. It can be configured through 'config' menu.
Can I help?
-----------
- Of course my friend!!! I need new ideas, beta-testers, and much more!!
- Take a look on google code project: http://code.google.com/p/pomod
Contact
-------
For any bug/doubt/whatever, contact me: Pere Felices Milán - xphere (at) zonan.org
Known bugs
----------
- If pocket pc is suspended while pomod is running, usually next song played causes a program crash, you are advised!!
- As far as I know, it does not run on smartphones.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy it!!

I always like to check out new music players; however, if this one always crashes when playing while PPC is suspended, it is of no use to me. It kind of looks a little like Winamp which is cool to me - Is it skinnable. Once some of the bugs are worked out, I will probably try it out, but not as is. I already have S2P, WMP, Audio Manager, TCPMP and Mort Player on my device all which work really nice.
interesting.. i am using gsplayer with plugins for amymusic, tcpmp with SAP plugin for atari xl/xe music, need to check that one..
S2P, WMP, Audio Manager - sucks.

That's possible yes:
HTC FAQ Page
Simple answer: Add a image file (in JPeG) to the folder you store the album in and call the file folder.jpg (you may hide it if you want).
One thing: You need to re-add the files to the player, meaning all files you have in your current playlist (on the TF3D page) will not get updated untill you reselect them.

no it doesn't work. at least for me.
look what i am doing:
1. i set my usb connection as disk drive
2. i load to my winamp the songs from album Crises - Mike Oldfield and with winamp i download the artwork from internet named "Mike Oldfield-Crises.jpg"
3. i connect my hd to my laptop and copy into folder Music from my sdcard the folder crises. inside this folder i have the album "Crises - Mike Oldfield" and the "Mike Oldfield-Crises.jpg"
4. on my sdcard i rename "Mike Oldfield-Crises.jpg" artwork as "crises.jpg"
5. set my usb connection asa activesync
6. start tf3d music player and wait until it finds the new album
7. after a while it finds it but the artwork is not displayed
please tell me what am i doing wrong!
thank you!
You have to name the artwork folder.jpg
Not the name of the folder, not the name of the artist. It actually has to be called:
folder.jpg
That's f-o-l-d-e-r-.jpg
Weird i know but it does work.
meanwhile i figured out myself.
but thank you anyway!
Keep in mind that TF3D player doesn't use the file folder.jpg to display the image. It uses a file named hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg. If it's not present but there is a file named folder.jpg, TF3D player will create a file hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg from it.
Therefore you can create your AlbumArt directly under the name hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg.
(however, WMP still uses folder.jpg, therefore I've kept both).
But why don't use mp3 artwork tag to display album artwork ?
Also eventhough you have hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg in that folder, TF3D music player sometime never display the albumart.
TF3D music player suck.
Still like itunes that create playlist easily by drag n drop.
Even I create the playlist manually, it sometime didn't work.
