WINAMP!

The best ever player for PC is now ported to WM devices. A lot of people want a player with an equalizer - so here it is! For now tested only on wm2003. Enjoy!
PS I really used the search function. Just in case ^_^
Yep, and for now only the russian version. But I suppose the language file is customizable, if you find it - upload it here, I'll translate it and send it back. (I've got an HTC Touch and don't wanna brick it with 2003 progs)

Ok thanks, i'm still waiting S2P release.
I think S2P still is the best media player for me.

dude, S2P is dead for now)) I also use S2P. But just share the information

Thanks I just googled it and it is compatible with all arm processors it says and .net cf devices I'm going to try it out on my mogul and see how it is

not working perfectly on touch cruise (polaris) wm6.1 beta : no problem for installation but when you lauch the program it display a weird error message if you click ok the prog start but it can t find all my music, it s like if winamp can t look into subfolder.
so my choice is still s2p for now

Winamp
Hi,
Thanks for sharing!
On my HTC Kaiser with wm6.1 it gives an error message as well, but I can play music and use the equalizer just fine !!!
First impression looks promising.
Cheers,
Leo

Anyway, I didn't develop it, and, as I say, is's for wm2003. So I'm not the one to blame. I just share with you. Maybe the error is because of the russian language?

s2p is still under hard development, it comes with wma support and COVERFLOW man. Realse soon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2026381&postcount=465
i think you can make with your old wimamp whatever you want.

I actually don't use it)) I've got s2p))

I used this all the time on my iPaq PDA. I tried it on my Wing, but it doesn't support the controls on my BT headset so away it goes...

Don't bother with this title. It's way inferior to most medi aplayers out there. Don't be mislead by the title.

Audio Manager for X1 WVGA

Does anyone have a working Audio Manager for X1:s WVGA screen (480x800)?
I've got HTC Audio Manager (v2.0 build 1819.2129) running on my X1 (after renaming AudioManager.exe.0409.mui to AudioManager.exe.041D.mui since OS is in Swedish), but all graphics and fonts are QVGA up in the left corner. I guess that it would work to update the mm_skin.xml (and mmr_skin.xml) and double the size of all pics, but that seems like a lot of work. And maybe someone's already done that?
Probably a WVGA version will come with Touch HD, but I want it now!
Thanks,
kjw

Yes, it would be great to have the HTC Audio Manager working on the X1.
I downloaded five different versions from the web yesterday; none worked. Searching for hours to no avail.
Help or a working cab would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Why don't you try the search function. It can really do wonders.
There is a Touch-IT_Blackstone_Audiomanager.cab in one of itje's posts if I recall correctly.

the actual audio manager program does not work using the Touch-IT_Blackstone_Audiomanager.cab. The audiobooster does, but not the audio manager. I've searched, but have yet to find a working solution to get the audio manager working. Any ideas or help?
Thanks

you can find it here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154&highlight=Blackstone+Audiomanager 2nd post...
*edit* oh I just saw your above post... so this doesnt work then??

Unfortunately, that appears to be the case. That's too bad because the audio manager is a really need program very similar to how the ipod works.

install one of itje's roms, its working 100% on his roms

Why bother with audio manager if you're not using tf3d? Audiomanager from the HD is incorporated into tf3d.
use any of the other freeware ones.
If you want Ipod alike then use s2p, it's on here in Dev&hacking, A_C the author even posted up in this section with a better version for the x1 to take advantage of the extra power the x1 has..
Amazing piece of software.

the audio manager program is actually really nice by itself as it has a nice interface very similar to an ipod (being able to browse easily by artist, album, playist, etc). A lot of folks like myself do not want to have tf3d or have to install a custom rom in order to have this program. The only other program that has a nice browser would be pocket player in my opinion. So are you telling me that the audio manager on touch hd is completely different from the other htc devices and the only way to use it is with tf3d?

yes that's exactly what I'm saying.
and i'll repeat again, why don't you try S2P ?
It's much better than audiomanager and looks like the Ipod/iphone player.

S2P is really nice but doesn't do well with WMA. Great app from A_C though . . .. . .

Equalizer and X1

Hi, can anyone recommend me a way how can I change sound attributes? What I would like the most is playing music using WMP and use equalizer provided by some small application (which implements itself to WMP, for example). If there's no such thing, then, please, recommend me a good and mainly reliable (doesn't stop playing after two songs or makes small pauses every few minutes in sleep mode...) player, which can be very simple and doesn't have to have any "amazing" GUI. Many thanks.

BUt it'snot compatible for phones above WM6. anybody out there can tweak it?

So it's working or not?

Working perfect.

I have wm 6.5 installed on my x1, and wen i install srs wow on my device i get absolutely no sound from my device until u uninstall it

Ok, WM6.5 is not the common OS for the X1, so maybe it's not compatible to that. Works very well with my original 6.1, so give it a try. I also like the headphone effects, gives it a lot more stereophony in my point of view.
Regarding a good music player, I can always recommend MortPlayer, which is really a player when you want to use your device for music playback rather than playing around.

Thank you very much, Dandie. Gonna give it a shot.
EDIT: So I downloaded version 1.2.1 from this forum. It sure changed something, mainly the volume is stuck at maximum. I found another topic about this problem on X1, but there was no concrete solution (this one). And another issue, when I change the values in SRS WOW HD, it stays the same, do I have to softreset after every change or what? In that topic, there is mentioned version 1.5.1.0, but I'll wait for your reply... I'm a bit confused.

Think it depends on the version you use. Saw that there seem to be a couple versions out there but have yet to test out which is the working version.

Hmm, it's obviously working for Dandie, theasters and Nocturnal310, they are the ones to ask for help. So please, can any of you help us to find the right version?

Equalizer & X1
Try Pocket player
It has an equalizer that you can also customise
Sounds good

Which version?

SRS Wow

Anybody help, im looking for the version of srs wow that has the sliders for input and output gain on the truebass tab. Fresh install of rom but cant find the copy i had of srs.

nobody use srs, suerly someone knows this version.

It's not being used because it causes a lot of driver conflicts on the X1. It's not really compatible.

srs screws up the xperia

It is 1.5 the last one with the fix,I am using it in Xperia from the first day without any problem.

Alright. I'm interested then. What exactly do you use it for? Does the equalizer work at all times (even with for instance media player and the TF3D player?)?

been running srs since i got the phone way last year, no probs sometimes though my alert tones would cut short also with tomtom directions but that rarely happened. I was messing about with the phones registry and buggered something up so I ran my sprite backup wich also failed, so iv'e had the pleasure of reinstalling all my tweaks and software again but cant find the version of srs i was using

[Files requested] Manila 2.5 bluetooth headset control + HTC Audio

I have a pair of bluetooth headphones by Sony (DR-BT21G) with media controls (AVRCP). This has always worked perfectly with the HTC Audio Manager throughout many ROMS (the default and Dutty's) but I upgraded to WM6.5 this weekend and it no longer works. Now, any time I try to use the controls, Windows Media Player fires up and takes over. Is there any way to change this or to manually set this back to the HTC Audio Manager? Listening to music is probably what I do most with my HD so this is probably reason enough for me to go back to a different ROM if I can't figure this out.
I've searched like crazy and it seems to happen to the WM6.5 Energy ROMs too, so it must be a general WM6.5/Manilla problem. So far, I've tried looking through all the settings in HD Tweak and Advanced Config, as well as changing the 0 and 1 keys in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:WMPLAYER to point to AudioManager_Eng.exe, but none of that worked.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Edit: Slowly, it seems to be becoming clearer that the Bluetooth Driver might be (part of) the solution. Any assistance in getting different versions of the BTHCI.DLL file or more insight would be great! If you have a Manila 2.5 ROM with working bluetooth control, please take a minute to share your driver with us!

I have exactly the same problem and I've posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566157&highlight=AVRCP

Same here with Dutty R5.
A fix would be great.

I worked pretty hard at trying to find a solution but to no avail. I found that there's a key in the registry that refers to a bluetooth plugin for WMP, but deleting it had no effect and I don't think there's a simple way to get rid of the actual plugin. Doing so also still doesn't guarantee that AudioManager will take over. Maybe if someone takes the time to try swapping out files between (for example) Dutty's WM6.1 v4.3 and Dutty's WM6.5 Leo R5, it might work. Particularly, swapping out AudioManager_Eng.exe and all WMP files and registry settings might work. Just an idea! I'd do it myself, but considering crazy work hours, my need for a working phone and problems I've been having with 6.5 it will be a while before I can do more on this.
I was also using Dutty's Leo R5 but due to major stability issues which seemed to be primarily related to importing contacts and texts (through either PIM or "My Phone"). I'll miss the twitter tab and all the neat features of the new manila and WM6.5 improvements but for now Dutty's v4.3 Final is just so much faster, more reliable and doesn't have the bluetooth problem.
Unless some smart guy figures this one out, I think we can best just hope for it to be resolved in a future rom with a fix in the new Manila.

The question for me is: Is this problem on all 6.5 ROMs??? I thought I had tried a 6.5 ROM before without this issue... but I might be wrong...
Am I right in assuming you returned to Dutty's 6.1 ROM? Because then I would flash a 6.5 ROM and we could test replacing files: You upload them here and I try replacing them on my Blackstone!

Update: I just flashed PhamQuang's V67 (a 6.5 ROM with Manila 2.1) - and guess what: My BT-headset controls the TF3D music player!
So maybe this is not a 6.1 vs. 6.5 problem, but rather a Manila 2.1 vs. 2.5 problem? Or it just depends on what ROM you are using and if the cook has done his magic correctly?

Great news! I'm glad you have it working and it narrows the problem down a bit.
So it seems that for now, bluetooth music lovers should steer clear of M2.5. I'd think it's a Manila 2.5 problem considering it works on all Manila 2.1 versions I've tried so far and on PhamQuang's V67 ROM with WM6.5 that you're using. I still wonder if swapping files between Manila 2.1 and 2.5 would be possible, but after using WM6.1 and Manila 2.1 for a day I'm hooked on the speed and won't be going back to Manila 2.5 until some major speed improvements have been made. (Or am I mistaken and is WM6.5 the laggy culprit?)
Considering you have your headset working with PhamQuang's V67 and it runs WM6.5, I'd like to wander off topic a bit and ask how you like that one? Has it been fast and stable so far? I've been pretty happy and faithful to Dutty's work but if there's something better out there (with working bluetooth to HTC's AM) I'm definitely game! I especially miss the smoother kinetic scrolling of WM6.5 and the wonderful Twitter tab in Manila 2.5. I guess I'll just have to be patient for that last one considering it seems you can't have everything.

Fix. thx to Gooru from xda-developers.info

Awesome! Thanks NewFolk! I'm glad there's a solution and hopefully it will help anyone who's searching for it. I can't test whether it works on Dutty's Leo R5 at the moment but I'll take your word for it
At least this is one less reason to avoid WM6.5 + M2.5!

PhamQuang's ROMs aren't the fastest ones out there, which is why I'll switch to a different 6.5 ROM or back to Topix (the best 6.1 ROM I've tried) as soon as I get my LCD replacement (I managed to break my LCD screen while attempting to exchange the touchscreen... )

Didn't work for me on Miri's V10, still launching WMP. Still looking for a solution.

Wow, sorry to hear about your screen, MAMeingast. I wouldn't dare attempt that with my dear HD, although I do wish it had a capacitive screen. I haven't touched my stylus in months.
If I can get Sashimi to do decent backups and automated installs, I might be able to experiment with ROMs more freely, but for now XML provisioning and other settings restorations don't seem to work well and reflashing and configuring still takes a few hours each time. I might try a full backup of my current setup this weekend and test a few Manila 2.5 ROMs. Maybe I can pinpoint what the differences are between the working and non-working BT configurations are and make a cab to fix it. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a method to monitor file or registry key access so I can't see what's active during BT headset pairing. In other words, getting that together will have to be a pretty labor intensive process.
The cab file simply contains a version of the BTHCI.dll driver file. I haven't been able to find Gooru's original post (using Google translate considering the site's all Russian), so I don't know which ROM(s) the cab file is meant for, where the file comes from or which build of WM it is included in. A quick search turned up this post by Da_G from way back in May, noting that the 216xx WM6.5 build comes with a BTHCI.dll version that isn't bound to WMP. How the binding is done isn't clear to me, but it's possible that the currently running media player (usually AudioManager_Eng.exe) would accept the input without extra configuration. If people can grab that version (see below) and post results here (or any other versions for that matter... it can't hurt to try more!), we could see if it fixes the problem. It's starting to look like that file is indeed the culprit, so good news there!
Thinking out loud: If it turns out to be more than just the driver, I might try replacing the dll on Dutty's Leo R5 first, followed by others until I find a Manila 2.5 that the cab file fixes. If that works, I can dump the file system and registry before the fix, and the file system and registry of other uncabbed ROMs to see if a general fix can be made and hopefully pass that along to Dutty and the other cooks to add to future releases. If anyone is running a Manila 2.5, please try installing the cab and posting your results. It would be additionally helpful to let us know which version (or date and size) your original BTHCI.dll is.

I'm sorry to hear that. Naturally, I hoped someone had come up with a general fix, but we'll keep looking. I changed the topic title back from [Solved] considering it didn't work for you. If you find out more, let us know! Maybe you can help with the dll questions, considering you're running a 2.5 ROM.

Hi elammertsma,
I've already tried the T-Back 6.5 BT Driver.cab, still launches WMP so I'm guessing there's more to this than just the version of BTHCI.dll. The BTHCI.dll included in Miri's V10 ROM is dated 01/10/09 16:31 (although that may be the date I installed the ROM, not sure) and is 63K in size. Hope this helps.

seems the bthci.dll is a rom file, and prevent copy? I try to copy the file from a rom which headset could interface with manila audiomanager, but fail - say the file in not allow to copy...

You'll need to use another file manager like Total Commander or Resco File Explorer to copy the BTHCI.dll file

I'm using the Resco, but still same problem. Properties of the bthci.dll is checked for hide/ready/sys/rom. It can not be seen both in WM file explorer and Resco, but in Resco search for the name you can find it. I try to copy via Resco, it said copy fail...

For mine:
1. BTfix.cab, still activate WMP, and seems no change at all.
- I try WMP, my headset is still interface with it, works well.
- Manila audio - sound was transferred to headset but interface no.
- CorePlayer - sound was transferred to headset but interface no.
2. T-Back 6.5 BT Driver.cab, not activate the WMP any more, and others unchanged.
- I try WMP, need manually open WMP first, and my headset is still interface with it, works well.
- Manila audio - sound was transferred to headset but interface no.
- CorePlayer - sound was transferred to headset but interface no.

being a bluetoth headphones ower to i ued the htc audio player too. im using nrgz photon rom 11.10.09 manilla 2.1. the default launched audio player from headphones is media player. tried this fix it dont fix it. yes i know its for m.2.5 i was just hoping it would work.
guess i will have to make playlists there instead. i remember there being issues with Wmp it wouldnt recognise all my content. like eminem album i got from play.com. all my own cd rips are good though lol. i will post a fix if i find one. i got a cab. the for s2p which is called tback but all that does is the opposite and unlocks the htc audiomanager and reverts to WMP or s2p. ive looked at nitrogen but unable to find anyway to make headphones work.

My Observations on this
Now my observations on this is that it was not happening on NRG Leo release 14092009 (think it may have been the last Genisis version). We know that NRG's rom platform on 23016 is rock solid as he has stated that many times so I'm suspecting it must be something in the lastest M2.5 version 1919xxx or another package addition as it seems to be effecting all the current Roms running this version of the Leo Manilla. I'm really suspecting that it is something in the way M2.5 HTC audio player is interfacing with WMP but that is just my humble non technical opinion
Can't find if BT stack has been updated in all of this. Bit of a bugger as I have the same issue in the my current version 23092009 release and it is also in the 11102009 release. Hope NRG can take a look at this as I use my BT headset constantly or my bit helps in some small way in finding a solution. In the meantime I'm falling way back to 14092009 NRG Leo version.
