Vtap

This appears to be a free video search/downloader & player. It works well on my ameo, and is free.
Does anyone know if there's a catch somewhere? It's almost too good to be true.

How come that it works well on your Ameo? Most of cases you need to have flash player 8 at least. Did you install it somehow?

Does it? there's no mention of needing it on their site.
i've got fp7 and the flashvideo bundle installed, neither of which are listed as needed. All I did was install the cab of that site.
seems a few others like it as well

Thank you for bringing our attention to this program. It works wonderfully on my 8125. So far I have not had any problems and I'm not that great when it comes to computers. Guys, you all have really educated me. I'm on this site daily.

Can you post the cab? I've requested it twice from the website but i don't get the text message.

This was the only thing I installed yesterday and I did a soft reset in the evening and it would not accept my password. I'm just doing a hard reset now.
I use a simple 4 digit PIN and it has always worked before but I just got
'The password you have typed is incorrect'
it took a long time to take a password at all and was getting a countdown timer above the password entry keys on the screen which I don't remember seeing before as well.
I don't know if it was anything to do with this app - has anyone else had problems?
Thanks

any idea why vtap puts two shortcuts in my programs list...vtap & vtap(1)?

Because at the time you installed it you already had 7 items in your start menu. It is configured to put the shortcut in start menu, but your had maximum number already

I have re-installed vTap and love it - no problems since I installed again so don't think my problems were down to vTap.
It is a truly useful app!

Something Wrong with Window Media Player

Excuse ME...But Why Cant My WM Player Find Any Songs From my Storage Card?...I Cant Update the Library...Only Play Straight from The File Itself....And You Can Imagine How Irritating That Is...Oh And Im Using a New 838Pro Dopod...

So while in wmp, tap menu/open file/ does storage card show up in the list? If so, after tapping storage card, does the folder holding your songs show up? If it does show up, don't worry about updating the library, queue up instead, see if it works doing this. More info would help.

If I remember right, I think you need to delete the WMDRM folder and maybe the MSMETADATA files from your card and then reset your phone and then update the playlist again in WMP. To be safe though, back up both of those files to your computer before deleting them.

It's all good man, we all have to start somewhere chuck it in the USB cradle or plug in the USB cable. You will need Microsoft Active
Sync to detect and back up files from the phone.
Activesync can be downloaded here: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=6257291

So, obviously you can access your computer from your Leo, which I've done.
But I was wondering if the opposite was possible i.e. accessing your Leo's screen from my laptop ?
Look forward to replies !

Can anybody share CorePlayer

I've searched up and down this forum as well as Google but cannot find the app. I have a M3U file that I want to stream from my phone but I need CorePlayer to do so. Can anybody share or provide a link for a free download. Thanks.

Core player is software you have to buy. you can find it here: http://coreplayer.com/
cracked programs / warez are not permitted on this forum, fyi.

If memory serves me correctly, you can do the same thing with TCPMP. Do a search on here and you will find it. I am most certain that I have used it for streaming police scanner M3U files a couple of months ago.
CorePlayer is commercial software that you must purchase, TCPMP is free and is the source from which CorePlayer sprang.

Yup, thats what I want for as well.
I installed TCPMP_0.72_RC1 but I get an error message when I try opening it. It reads: "Unexpected program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers. Program will now exit"
I don't know what the problem is. I have read other people having the same problem and I cannot find a solution. Can anybody help with this?

Any chance you have it installed to a storage card, and that storage card had previously had tcpmp installed on it but on a different phone? If so, some of the settings (which are preserved even when uninstalling) may be causing problems. If that's the case, go into your storage card and delete the entire tcpmp folder (after uninstalling) and try to install it again...

imma try this out!

Sorry for the late reply.. but no, there is no need to install to storage card, other than saving space. Installing it to a card was the only way I could think of that would make "left over" settings as the culprit to your problems. Hope you got this sorted out by now. Cheers

Noob Question - Problem

Installed FroyoStone_Sense to my HD2. I've found that every time I switch back to WM by doing a soft reset a particular folder is damaged, forcing me to restore it. Should I be installing the Android folder to a clean, empty SD card? I was under the impression that I could just add the folder to my existing WM SD card.
Thanks in advance.
-Bob-

I don't know about other people but I install the droid folder onto a freshly formatted sd card to make sure. Many of the files on the droid folder will only be read by the WM OS system unless you hook into a PC.

That's what I've been doing, and I've used probably about 10 builds and have never had the problem you describe.
What folder is it?

I do have one question though, why do you 'soft reset'? Is the build your using always freezing up or is it to access some of the non-droid applications associated with WM?

Soft reset to go back to WM. Haven't gone beyond the most basic experimentation with the Android build. Need to get some work done occasionally.

It's the MarsWare folder in the Programs folder. I still use that app outside of HTC Sense. The folder has been corrupted each time I've rest to WM.
-Bob-

Hmmm, is the file that keeps getting corrupt a file that you need access to with the Android system or the WM system?
If you have two memory card then I would keep the WM files separate or try a new build, I have never had the problem myself, if you want my build then let me know.

Sounds strange. I assume Android doesn't use that folder for anything, so it shouldn't affect it.
How much space do you have left on your card?

Do you hook your "Droid" up to the PC? I've been switching back to WM before connecting to my PC. Didn't want to mess up ActiveSync capabilities with WM.

If you hook up droid to the pc then it won't mess up your activesync but thats not what i'm saying.
The folder which keeps getting corrupted, is it stored on the SD Card in its own folder or is it being stored under the ANDROID folder in the SD Card?
The only other way around this apart from carrying two sd cards around with you is to get the DUAL-BOOT loader onto your phone so even if you reset you should have full access to all file and folders.

I don't know then mate. When you say you can restore the folder, does that mean you have a backup of it somewhere? If so, just rename the knackered one and restore the original again and maybe the knackered one will bear the brunt of the problem.
Not a fix, I know, but maybe a workround for now.

The files are only needed in WM. It's a weather program. Looks like I should buy another 16gb card for the Android.
I'm just starting with the Android thing, so ALL suggestions are appreciated. Where can I find your version?
Another question (since I have your attention ); the music player seems to interface perfectly with my WM installed music folder. I use a WM software package, Pocket Tunes, to sync playlists. Those playlists show up in the Android setup, which was amazing to me because they don't in the WM version. That left me with the impression that the Android system reads the WM format fine. Your thoughts?
Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I was doing a restore, but then deleting the damaged folder. I'll try leaving it on.

I believe that the pls format is universal, but I don't know for sure that Android will read it correctly. I guess the obvious answer would be to try it and find out.
I've never been a big playlist fan, so I can't talk from experience.

The Android build seems to dominate over WM for a couple of things, the music thingy is new to me but for apps like facebook etc android seems to dominate and there is not much you can do about it. I think the dual-boot loader is your best option as each OS will have a separate part of the SD card to work from, this is a theory but im not too sure otherwise, anyone else got any ideas about a bootloader?

hey,
I had the same issue with weather panel running off "second home screen" app, using DDT theme, whenever I ran android then went back to weather panel the theme wouldn't display correctly, it appears to corrupt the themes folder.
however installing WP on the device memory sorted it, tho I don't use windows anymore so can't say if it was a permanent solution.
last thing if you think you will switch to android and want something with similar features (+extras), take a look at palmary weather it's a paid app (less than a shot of brandy)
can only buy from there sight tho.

Maybe you could even get some apps which will do what you need on the android system so you wont have to change back to WM again...that could be a possibility.

I suspect a couple weeks with Android and I'll make it permanent. Right now I'm traveling, so I'm a bit less willing to drop my crutch (WM) right now.
I am also VERY impressed with all the help on this forum. It'll make the transition much less painful.
Thanks.
