WMP 10 - skins

how do you install them on the Exec...... downloaded a few but I don't know which folder to put them in...

where'd you download wmp10 skins from? to install, the skins should have their own folder. using activesync copy and paste that folder in the windows media folder:
file explorer -> my device -> program files -> windows media player -> paste skin folder

Help with WMP 10 and Skins
I've downloaded a skin posted on the forum, G.AMP and put it in this folder:
\Program Files\Windows Media Player\G.amp~WMP
When you go into Windows Media Player 10 it does not find the skin.
I have WM 2005 and WMP 10 and an XDA Exec 3G.
Any help much appreciated, Declan.

I'm sure I just put mine in My Documents and it found it.
HTH

I have tryed for ages to change the skin in media player but there is no way ive found.
i did notice that there is a *192.bmp file in the windows directory (windows\) that if you open looks just like the default skin. if i rename the default(portrait).skn file in the \Program files\media player\ folder then media player wont start in portrait mode so its definutly pulling the skin from there but all the different ways i put the skin files i have it just wont work, not even if i rename then the default(portrait) will it work.
Has anyone got this to work?

im just trying to keep this post alive!, i still cant manage to get this to work.
Also i found a way to display album art, just copy the picture of the album into the folder of the album and change the name to "Folder.jpg", now whenever a song is played from the folder WMP will show the picture

extraxting a cab file from an exe file

in paticular i want the cab file for MorphGear. how do i do this? I have tried using cabinst but that doesnt seem to do anything

Some ".exe" are extractable with a soft such as "Winrar" :wink:

if that doesn't work then try the following.
1. Remove app from you computer and device
2. Disconnect device from comp
3. Run exe for app
4. When you see the message "this app will be installed on next sync" go to start---search
5. look for *.cab that was created or modified today and is less than 1MB (change file size to whatever value you think is appropriate)

Problem is..
I cant get activesync to work, hence needing the cab file to install morphgear :-(
So I dont think that will work
Any other ideas?

Can you install Activesync tho, dont have to sync just get it to install. If you can than run the morphgear.exe and after it says it will install on the next sync, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Activesync\ and you will see a Marat folder, the .cab is in there. It will almost always make a new folder and put the .cab of the program you are install into the Activesync folder, if it is not there than it created its own folder under Program Files and the .cab should be in there.
Just because im bored I downloaded this MorphGear.exe
http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/155967-7256/MaratSetupPPC2003.exe
And have attached the .cab that was put into my ActiveSync folder for you.

wow thanks that was very nice of you!
i checked that folder and there was about 10 different morphgear files that id been messing about with! And they worked! Well chuffed i am

Is anyone playing gameboy games on it? On the website listed in the first post the module (MaratSetupPPC2003.exe) leads to an invalid link. But i found it on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=904167&postcount=5 i installed it but it only wants to see snes roms

How to get Media Player Keys working

I have WM6 from Andot and want to use the first and second Media Player Key.
In ALEUTs Rom they are working, but there are some other programs in Andots Rom wich are better for my issues
In the forum i found something about the windows directory and the windows/key directory where i have to put files called Short_AP1.lnk or AP1S.lnk or pie.lnk
I created that files filled with a link to the media player and copied them to my Amadeus, but nothing works.
Do I have to edit the registry or do i need a driver or something to get the keys working?
I have the T-mobile SDA Music

can't unzip files with the device and can't play .wav files

Hi Everyone,
I am running the original rom downloaded from htc website wm6 and wierd that I can't unzip files and I have tried more than one progie and I can't play .wav files with wm player, it tells me that it is unsupported file type error. on unziping part, it tells me that can't find a directory and it is currupt file. if I d/l file with desktop it opens up fine and the wav file plays in wm player also fine.
Please help with this bug... it is driving me insane.
Thanx all.

tried total commander for zips ?

D/l and tried TC the file does not open.... for some reason the unit utilizes zip mobile instead of TC, but that what I am trying to open the file with. I hope this makes sense.
Also any one on the .wav problem?

start TC and then browse to the file, and open it from TC

I did that and it didn't work... I gave me the same error as before.

i know u said u downloaded the same file on ur pc and it works fine. try copying the file from the phone to the desktop and then test it, *maybe* the zip file that you're trying to open on the phone is corrupted

[Q] Networked Folders Like Resco

Hi there,
If you are familiar with winmo 6.5 then no doubt that you would have had resco explorer installed and perhaps utilised the network section. What some of may or may not know is that once you created your network links so to speak to your LAN, you could then export that as a proper folder in the normal directory. This was really handy for streaming media files via any media player as you could just go straight to the folder, as it would be in the windows dir.
I wondered if there was some sort of counterpart for android. So far I have used ES file explorer which is great but when trying to play any media type it adopts for its own or tries to download it, which is not what I want. AndroXplorer can creat shortcuts to network folders but the shortcuts cant be moved to the android root dir.
Hope you can understand this, any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome! Thanks again.
