Hi all,
Just a quick question. I have removed the video trailers (Bond trailer, jazz by the city etc) from the My Videos folder however I have discovered there is another copy on my device in the WINDOWS folder. The other thing is that the files are locked and are unable to be deleted.
Anyone got any ideas on how to remove these? I don't like having unnessasary files on my device
Cheers
Any ideas in regards to this?
Cheers
they are in rom and can't be deleted
I think you can delete them with an application like Total Commander. You should try.
yes it works - thank you some MB are free now.

Don't work because this files are in rom and after reboot windows mobile replace it.
You could always try the old trick of creating an empty .txt file and renaming it exactly the same as the video trailers you're trying to delete. Simply toss it in the \Windows dir, overwriting the real video, and then check your space free.
Hopefully that works!

Sweet, will try this during my lunch break. Hopefully it will work after a reboot too.
Cheers.
I would like to get rid of that darn trailer as well, and those pre-installed songs. SE should have put them on the SD card instead, like Nokia does, for easy removal instead of making the reduntant files part of the ROM.
so just making a file and replacing will be ok like bond trailer xperia x1 and replace it with same name yes.
but ive notice that if you sync up your device the videos cants be seen through explore device
are we saying it all has to be done on the device it self or make the replacement file on pc tranfer the sd card then copy and paste it to windows directory

Not sure if anyone has posted these elsewhere, happy to remove this if they have. I did a quick search as I was after the WM6 sounds (they're so much better than WM5!) to no avail. As I still have my Hermes I thought I would just copy them and see if anyone else wanted them.

Cool! Was just about to do it tonight!!
Perhaps you could upload it to rapidshare? If you don't, I'll mirror the files on FTP with my Rapidshare premium account so that it won't expire.
Here they are - the issue was the size of some of the phone ringtones, so I've left them as .wma since they will work as ringtones, just not any other sounds.
And here's the rapidshare link! Thanks, findus!

System write protected files
Unfortunately overwriting existing files is not so easy as the current files are write-protected system files!
Instead rename the new files to something like e.g. from 'Alarm 1' (original file) rename new file to 'Alarm 1_WM6'.
just copy the '_WM6' part and paste to the end of each filename.
Once done drop all new files into 'Windows' directory and select your chosen sounds in the 'sounds and notification' app in;
settings/personal/Sounds & Notifications
works for me
I don't have any problem with the protected files. I just press on Overwrite All and it worked just fine.

I never had this problem... I just used activesync and replaced all of the files from my computer. Went smoothly and all files are working just fine with just one minor problem. The audio quality is nowhere near as nice as the originial when I replaced the sounds already on the phone. They are kinda distorted and the audio quality isnt very good.

That'll be down to poor conversion I think. So you switched back to Original T-Mobile WM5 ROM? Hmmm interesting...well good luck

does anyone know which sound goes with what notification for the alarm1-alarm5 files?
I think alarm3 is new sms
Hello all,
Long time fan first time caller
Can anyone tell me where the playlist you save with the HTC music player on the home screen tabs is located? Is it on storage card or phone itself? What folder / location?
Thanks in advance team.
You can find the playlists in Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/Playlists.

Thanks for this thread, I've been wondering the same thing myself. I'm having a slight problem though. I've made a custom playlist from some tracks on the phone but the folder you've listed is empty. I checked if maybe it was a hidden file but but there is no playlist in there.I've had to do a few hard resets recently and it's a real bugger having to make a new playlist every time! If anyone can give a definitive answer as to where I can find the custom playlist that would be great, or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance
Solved... kida
Hi and thanks for your reply maximus1111.
I have a solution, but its not idea.
The playlist data is stored in Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/Playlists
If you look in the playlists folder it appears empty but its there.
If you go into the audiomanager folder there are two files in there. Copy them and go to your storage card. Make a folder- call it what ever you want (eg HTC Playlist) and paste the two files in there.
If you lose your playlists in the device for some reason you can copy the files back from your storage card to the phone and you will have your playlists back.
If you want to delete the playlist in your phone and use the ones in your storage card, soft reset the devic. When it starts up make sure you do not open the HTC Music application (very important or wont work). Using file manager go to audiomanager in the phone and delete the two files. Then paste the ones from your storage card there and it will work.
Less than ideal and a bit of mucking around, but I have confirmed it works with my HTC HD2.
Thanks everyone. This is a great forum.

Ok,
Thanks for the tip. I've backed up the Audiomanager folder so hopefully, if I need to replace the playlist, it should work. You're sure that the playlist is in that folder though?

hi, same here, no playlist in folder. i copied the audiomanager_eng.vol to my pc. when i look at it with a hexeditor, i see the names and path (eg. ZPlay \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists\ZPlay) in the file. also i found all information about the mp3 files i have added to playlists (eg. \Storage Card\Audio\Music\ACDC - Backtracks - 08 - Snake Eye.mp3 Snake Eye). so i think htc stores everything in that file.
i think thats a good example how htc developers are ticking, instead of keeping it simple they make it as complicated as possible... spilling all the data the user have created all over the complete device. if i just want to save my settings i have to run around between a dozend different places on my hd2.

I know it sounds a bit wacky, but tried it twice and worked both times when I followed the procedure. As to why it works is above my limited intelligence.

A problem with the HTC audioplayer is that it rebuilds the whole library when you tap the music tab after a soft-reset. With a giant collection of music-files this isn't funny anymore You will have to wait for at least 1 minute until you can select a artist, album or song from the library.
A elegant workaround, although not a direct solution for the problem, is to rebuild the library automatically after a softreset and not to trigger it by the selection of the music tab. This can save a lot of time, because (in most cases) the library will be ready by the time you decide to play some music after a soft reset. For me that's enough...
(Still this will not help you very much when you immediatelyafter a soft-reset want to select something from the music library)
Now, to trigger the rebuilding of the library at start-up all one has to do is to place a shortcut to the AudioManager_eng.exe in the startup folder in the windows directory. You can do this yourself or you can use the cab that is attached to this post.
UPDATE:
added a cab that triggers a music library rebuild when the storage card is inserted (or what's the same, when you unplug the device from a "disk drive" connection with the pc)
If the cab doesn't work. Just unzip the attached zip file to the folder "2577" on your storage card. (If the folder isn't there you have to create it yourself)
Nice one - goes some way to avoiding that delay when you first want to use the music player.
Thanks mate. will gie it a try.
I dont really have that many songs bt i still hate the wait!

Nah, the worst is when you accidentally tap the music.
It just freezes. Freaking agrovating!
Updated the first post with a little cab that rebuilds the music lib when a storage card is inserted.

Hi, uninstalling the cab files will remove the files that were installed.
(if you want to be sure, you can do it manually by deleting the shortcut to audiomanager_eng.exe in the windows/startup directory and/or deleting the files mortscript.exe autorun.exe and autorun.mscr from the directory 2577 on your storage card)
To force a fresh indexing of your music files, try to delete the AudioManager_Eng.vol file in the directory Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng
it's a hidden file so you need to instruct file explorer to display hidden files.
BTW as a side note, your problem hasn't anything to do with the automatic indexing at startup. It's a general problem that sometimes occur with the music player. If it occurs use the above method...
Oh, i've forgotten about uninstalling
Thank you!
here is the final solution

Your best bet would be to make a shortcut to the folders they are in and then copy the shortcut to the start menu and then assign an icon to them.

Ok find an icon you want either on the internet or the forums and then you need to make the reg setting for it. Something like this,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\"you link name here".lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_FileExp.png"
then drop your icon in the windows folder and then reboot and the icon should take
OK

It would be much appreciated if someone did this for tnx

Try creating your shortcut to the folder like this
Assume you know some of this but gonna cover the whole thing ..
create a text document on your pc, change movies to wherever you want, ...
35#"fexplore.exe" \Storage Card\Movies
the number before the # is the number of characters after the #
create the file in notepad, move it to the device /windows/start menu/programs and rename it .lnk
This will launch file explorer to the folder of your choice ...
Then change the icon to whatever you want ...
And of course since it is a .lnk in your start menu , it will show up so you can add quicklinks ...

be sure to create a folder on your Storage card called movies ..
When connecting to activesync and browsing to the \Windows directory in main phone memory, sometimes it can take a while for the folder to show the files, so when it opens just goto \windows\start menu\programs and copy the lnk in the zip to there ...

The best option is to select all MP3, WAV and WMA files in Windows folder and copy them to another folder and start looking for your sound. You can also look at your SD card.
Good luck!

Thank you so much. I found it and copied it to 3 Folders on my HD2. My voices, My sound and also Windows/Rings. Still when I go to set the ring for my new messages, it doesn't show as an option. Am I missing something.
I don't know where HD2 stores it's sounds but You have to put your sound into specific folder I guess. In HD I don't need to do anything, all my sounds I have on my SD card and they're working without problems
Did You try to search into main Windows folder? On my phone I've found there many system sounds and rings as well.

It's very strange. I found all the sound folders as noted above, and copied the file to them. I checked the dropdown list for new messages and all of the options are in the windows/rings folder. So I copied the "Excuse me boss" file to the same folder, reset, but still no luck. Anyway, it was a good thought. It is such a neat file but I guess it wont work on the HD2.
But thanks again, you were such a great help.
