Haha hm...sounds like a neutral party post ...
EDIT: Seems to work real good. Easy to find videos and such. Plus wikipedia

Just downloaded.
This is by far the best web video solution out.
it searches all kinds of sites not just youtube
my only gripe is it fullscreens upside down on hermes.

I like it! Thanks.
Videos work great, and the Wikipedia is real nice.

Was wondering that myself. A bit silly. I just went into the Start Menu folder and deleted one of them. I think the smaller of the two. Still works fine.

I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service.
1. We are looking into the issue with the 2 icons in the programs folder. In the mean time, if you want to remove the vtap(1) icon, I have posted a process to remove it at this link: http://www.vtap.com/faq.html#rq11 .
2. We are looking into the upside down video on the Hermes phone. This has been seen now on a couple of HTC phones. I will post back when we have a solution for that problem.

Hi,
I have an issue with Vtap, it won't connect to the server, why??
It says "Server is temporary unavailable, please click 'retry' to try again.
It keeps saying that over and over again when I'm at home using WiFi. Interestingly, when I go to a hotspot location, it would work.
I have tried to reconfigure my router to put my phone in the DMZ to open all ports but it still won't work?
What is going on?
Btw, I'm living in Singapore, if it matters.

I really like vtap. I think its an awesome app and it pretty easy to use. Of course with T-mo US only being able to offer edge it kind of kills the overall experience for me. But I tried this with a WiFi connection and it works perfect with a high speed data connection.

Must say I haven't checked the wiki or the faq, but it is a real nice videoplayer for youtube etc.
aalvino keep it up

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.

Can it work with any site with videos?

I'm connected and able to download.....however, I only get the audio playback......no video. Instead, I'm getting a green screen with a bizarre purple stripe design....This is on 3G...

Hey aalvino,
I'm using an 8525 (Hermes 100) w/vp3G's WM6 v3.62 AT&T ROM. Not sure about the DirectDraw support. I'd like to add that I'm having the same issue with my WiFi connection as well........good audio, but the psychedelic color video...would've been cool back in the '60s.......

The easiest way to install vTap is to just open the Browser on your phone, and go to the site www.vtap.com. You will then be prompted to download the correct .cab file and the installation should start automatically.

Manila 3D about to work on BA?

Tried the latest cab from here:
Update 11: Direct from Chainfire:
=========================
TF3D QVGA - Release #2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430718
Prior to installing the cab, I unzipped the OpenGL ES software drivers from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=121298&d=1223892257
...to the \WINDOWS directory.
The results: TF3D-QVGA installed in probably 10 minutes. Very slow progress at the beginning, but when the bar hit the 50% mark, installation was completed just after one or two more minutes. Startup time of TF3D is quite good, too. Takes about a minute to fire up. The drawbacks: The software 3D driver seems broken on the BA. No textures, but all white surfaces. One can see, though, that the shapes are rendered correctly. The clock on the Home tab flips correctly, messages on the Mail tabs fly in and out like they should etc. Unfortunately rendering is a tad slow, too. Not very smooth, yet no stills either. One can see the animations, but even if the textures were okay, it would be too slow to really enjoy.
Does anyone have an idea where to find suitable OpenGL ES software drivers for the BA?
Cheers.

which rom are you using ?
on my rom installing takes 30min and startup after soft resett takes 30 min, too.
i also get the white textures.

The "old" Helmi WM6 with German language files, which is really a fantastic ROM (always came back to it). Btw, when I tried TF3D, I already had loaded all kinds of stuff on my device (only about 15MB of internal memory free), so I'm really not talking about a virgin install, either.

BA was never designed for 3D graphic the first place, if you guys really like Manilla interface, I strongly suggest try out the Manilla 2D. just an idea.

I know, I know. M2D is great, but I miss the opportunity to view multiple appointments on the home tab.

How does your X1 crash/hang up on you?

Okay, im just curious about this. I've read all over the net (and this forum also) that your X1 is bound to crash one way or another. Sometimes i read that people can have 2 or more crash everyday, which i think is quite strange.
My X1 fortunately never crash up on me. I surf the net, use wifi, listen to music, use the GPS via Garmin, chat on yahoo messenger and even watch a full length movie on it. Fortunately it just never crash on me. Not on a normal use anyway...
Speaking of which, i've tested my X1 also, to see until which point it might actually crash. I surf the net + Activate garmin + chat on yahoo + listen to music + occassional sms in between, and the phone is still doing fine.
It does get pretty laggy at times, but the point is it's still very usable.
here is all the apps that i've installed on my X1 (as in remove program thing):
Astraware bejeweled 2
Astraware Sudoku
Xperia Tweak
Garmin Mobile XT
Google Maps
HTC enlarge start menu
J.S Advanced config
Slick
.Net CF3.5
All the panels
the only bug that i have in my phone is the one where i cant add the speed dial. But this doesnt concern me because i just dont use speed dial anyway.
So im just curious, how does your X1 (if ever) crash up on you?
Oh and one more thing, im still using the R1A original ROM.

mine crashes whenever it sneaks out in the middle of the night and steals a car.
doesn't seem to have got the hang of cornering yet...

I have not updated to the latest ROM.
My X1 crashes when I leave it untouched for a period of time. The battery will be hot and no matter what button I press the screen just won't light up.
I'm trying to update to the latest official ROM now but I have no idea how to use the SEUS thing. -_-'

My R1A crashed about once to twice a day.
What I had installed is pretty much what you had plus TF3D HD as panel from itje, PlumSIP (Chinese input), SKTOOLS, SPB Shell.
It got a bit better when I switched to Daran's TF3D but that had problem of itself. And I started using SKtool's memory reclaim in the back.
Now I'm on R2A and its virtually crash free. I've yet to try TF3D as I'm waiting for a solid TF3D 2 solution as cab.
So al fingers are pointing to TF3D at the moment. Shame because besides being the best eye candy, I've also found it to be the most useful including SPB Shell

im on r2a. mine doesnt crash but hangs occasionally.
ironically its everytime when im showing it off to my frens. sometimes the screen just hangs.
wanted to show a video to my fren today when out of nowhere the video and all other videos cant be played. had to soft reset..

the million dolar question is, do you have TF3D installed on ur phone?
TBH, i'd love to get TF3D installed on my phone, but for some reason i just bound to know that it's gonna cause me problem anyway
Can we safely say that the crash free ROM is actually the official ROM now?
Or maybe someone else use cooked up ROM but still actually run the X1 crash free? leave your experience here...

[APP]HTC Audio Manager 2.2 VGA

Since binning TF3D in favour of Mobile Shell 3, the main thing I have been missing is the tf3d audio manager. I have been searching all day and come up with a load of qvga cab and some skins. It seems the skins I have found are for an earlier version and not compatible with the newer one. I found a VGA audio manager over in the athena forum but it was an older build not supporting album art and the menus are not so finger friendly. The only 2.2 versions I could find were qvga and so not really usable in the top left of the screen. Yes I have s2p and tcpmp and core and nitrogen and windows media player, but I like the library feature of HTC Audio Manager. So if anyone can point me to a cab I would be most great full.
Edit: see post no.5 for a fully working .cab by member onlinespending

Coincidence enough, I found this today:
http://rapidshare.com/files/191970484/HTC_Audio_Manager_2.2_1822.3925_L0.cab
I downloaded it just to see if there were viruses, and I didn't find anything, but I didn't install myself. Since it's on Rapidshare I would be extra careful. I can't say if it's QVGA or VGA, but it's a start!
If not, v.2.0 is available from PPCKitchen: http://www.ppckitchen.org/forums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=1&id=37
Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks for the links, I will check them out. In the mean time I just found this one which I am installing first.

So I tried the pdaviet audio manager and it is the old version again. I downloaded the one from the above rs link and it is the newer version but only qvga. So I re-sized all the images in the cab with this tool and then copied them into my windows folder and this is what I have ended up with, not quite right, does anyone else want to have a crack at it?

You can't just resize the images, you need to edit the XML files as well.
I just did this and here is the file.
HTC_Audio_Manager_2.2_1822.3925_L0-VGA.cab

Thanks onlinespending, that works great on my 6.5 rom.

Thank you very much,you make it sound so easy, I had a look at the xml files but it was over my head. And I confirm that this now works 100% including album art!

Glad you like it! Thanks for finding the standalone Audio Manager 2.x cab. Now that a lot of people use the WM6.5 titanium over TouchFlo2D/3D, the embedded Audio Manager will no longer work. I agree that Audio Manager is more finger friendly and nicer to navigate than WMP. But I can't flick through my songs very easily. I have to use the side scroll bar. Are you experiencing the same thing?

Yes, I know what you mean, the tf3d version is still better to use, especially the slide along bottom bar and being able to flick to the next track but this is still a big improvement for me. I tried all the mp3 players I could find and found pocket player to be the best but it takes ages to load and is quite heavy on the processor and therefore on the battery compared to audio manager. As for scrolling with the dreaded side bar, I now use GScroll which is really great, but still needing a few tweaks, it adds a lot of functionality to the capacitive touch pad. Any way a few nice VGA skins and I think we have a winner. Thanks again for taking the time and effort to sort it out.
Wonder how it is on WVGA?

Skins
I found a few VGA skins here, but I have not installed any of them yet, I suspect they are for the older version. They might be worth a look as food for thought to anyone thinking of building a new skin.

Is this cab working with the Titanium Audio Manager panel plugin...??

widen scroll bar
i like audio manager much more than windows media player and the audio manager included with manilla. thanks for this great cab. do anyone how i can widen the scroll bar, i would like to make it more finger friendly, if its in the XML, then which xml and what settings or line do i change, thank again

Is there a WVGA one for X1? The cab extracted from Blackstone is not working on X1.

Any update or newer version than can finger scroll with wm 6.5?

Do I still need Manilla to run it?

Anybody know how to disable album art?Its freezing the player and its one album art for all tracks which is annoying.Cheers

here's a WVGA version, usable for example on Xperia X1 stock ROMs.

1-totally skinned and finger friendly to replace all aspects of widows mobile interface. the basically did what MS should have done ages ago
2-the amazing video and sound editer
3-video player with support for mpeg4 and xvid
4-the fingerfriendly image viewer
5-the task switcher
6-the cube interface, L&W modes and the touchwhiz2
7-other apps like podcast&RSS , OCR for recording contacts information, new music id medomi application,new file explorer and calander
video and more info http://pocketnow.com/review/samsung-omnia-ii-i8000-1?p=2

very true matey ... it would be awesome if someone can port the apps to htc touch hd ....

How about the skinned file manager, and midomi?

im having an issue finding the ROM bbut there are people over here who already have the omnia 2 would someone post instructions on how to dump the installed rom so they upload it for us.
there is a lot of thing to like about their customized software

I would love to see some of these application on my Touch Diamond. The skinned file manager, and Touch player especially!

I would probably kill for the task manager...thats what I've been craving for months now. Also the SMS and Email app is a must have. Don't want the phone..just the software

The resolution is different, so it's very hard to port these apps to Omnia I

I've watched PocketNow's Youtube i8000 software tour and it is simply incredible. I've heard quite a bit of negative things about the Omnia II i8000, but the software tour provided by PocketNow really made it shine.
The interface was very fast (in some cases, as fast as the custom ROMs available on XDA) and the available software was simply unreal. The video editor and cube were particularly nice, but I believe Samsung also got the first Windows Mobile version of Midomi ever making it that much better.
I can't wait for the QWERTY Samsung B7610 to finally come out.

i found this thread. the omnia II rom dump is uploaded in mediafire here
hope this is enough for people over here to start

some apps are already extracted here http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7f364dce2089ae8a4c17ca8801618ef78fe1cb5b49933873b8eada0a1ae8665a

will test again later when i flash to a 6.1 rom

Smartmemo.rar --Didnt Not Load, No errors message, just a [Ping] sound.
TCalendar.rar -- Loads but app is in VGA.
Tclock.rar -- Loads but app is in VGA.
Looks real nice though, if only they worked in wqvga.

i added a picture of my xperia in the first post
also a cool guy posted a nice story about all this in pocketnow. i hope now we get enough attention from the devs here to port the rest

There should be more developments once they dump the ROM and more people get involved, which is the main focus of the thread. Visit the MoDaCo thread and keep an eye on the dedicated Omnia II extraction thread at XDA for any progress and to test the apps.
How many of you are waiting for a functioning Midomi app to be ported? I know I am. Hopefully patience pays off.

Has anyone tried these on the Diamond?
Update: Tried TCalendar and Phonebook. TCalendar seems to work at first glance looks really nice, however, I cannot add any appointments or anything and the menu softkey makes the screen go crazy. Phonebook just gives me a a black screen with only the keyboard button in the down right corner.

Need Midomi..

Downloaded and tried Tcalender. ..
It worked as u can see in the pic, but it fails to creat new appointment or to access the menu soft key ??? apart from the first home screen nothing else is working.
Edit: I have Xperia X1i, Official R3AA UK ROM

Tested the TCalendar on the HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz) with the Custom ROM Topaz Essentials
Viewing of the Calendar works fine (although quite slow) - but opening the menu or adding a new entry does not work

Oh.Can't dl from mediafire
who can upload to rapidshare for a mirror?
Only need the Part02 Disk1 dump files(part1.rar part2.rar part3.rar)
thanks very much!!!
I just want to search into the dump folder for any other files needed to load the apps!

Just a quick update from a Touch HD running pkoper's EPS HDX WM6.1 ROM:
- TCalendar: starts, shows appointments (in all views), looking good. Navigating to dates works. Menus, however, don't work properly. And it's all in Hungarian.
- TClock: doesn't start ("components not found").
N.

i think these compressed executables are missing other supporting files thats why they are refusing to run. a proper cab of each of the omnia application need to be created. lets keep an eye on the modaco thread for now
