I'm pretty happy with my Vodafone HD2 on 1.43 so I'm waiting to see if Vodafone brings out their own 1.48 ROM. However one thing that does bug me is the media player; as far as I can tell it's impossible to change albums in portrait mode, you have to flip the phone sideways, hardly convenient in the car! Can anyone tell me if the 1.48 ROM has an improved media player, or is there an alternative that does a good job? I saw somewhere that 1.48 does improve the media player but I can't find any details - is there a detailed changelog somewhere? Certainly not on the HTC website!
Nobody in this forum has upgraded their ROM from 1.43 to 1.48? Should I have posted this in the ROM Development forum?
As far as I'm aware, there is no difference in the media player, whether it be the HTC video player or the Windows media player.
I just press library (bottom left) scroll across to albums and choose one? turning your HD2 to the side is sexual though.

Ok - Using several different ROMs I have found the one that suits me the best - I have one nagging problem - videos that previously were played in landscape full screen are now chopped in half and being played via portrait??
So my question is what / where is the media player that is being used on that panel - I want to see if I have options to change the view setting - or ifs it just windows media player then i give up.

maybe not a custom rom issue but more a media player issue ! working with an original/std factory rom & it is so crappy that i know use core player which is really better ! we are multiple people having concerns with the sony media player (xmb panel)
the panel files are under /program files/panels
im using itjes rom as well, reinstalling mxp fixed most of the problems.
have you tried playing your vids in windows media to see what happens?
i forgot to say, opening mxp as a standalone using pubbas doesnt work, so there might be something else going on, when i get some time ill take a look.
Well they play landscape in media player but it looks like crap- plus the touch controls on the sony media xper thing are much better - i have looked in the panels and the other location but i dont see anything that i can look at or set - - so with jacks rom the panel plays perfectly (once you install it) but the one that i want to use and like is the touch one - but the panel just has that one flaw - i have tried to uninstall and reinstall the panel same thing.
I've encountered the same problem and uninstalled the media panel alltogether. I think it relates to Itje's "experience" ROM, as I didn't encounter the issue before installing it. With another ROM the problem might well be solved; just tinker around with it a bit.
Thanks for the replies -
Just installed coreplayer - works well enough - still miss my touch screen menu overlay on the video - but Its worth it on this ROM that works better than stock.
Hi,
After a month of using Xperia, having applied tweaks and installed custom apps and add-ons... i believe it to be the best mobile ever!
Alas! today i set out to accomplish more on the device. I installed various applications including; HTC Home and HTC Home Configration, Conduits Pocket Player, Mort Player, Flip Side (Great Player but extreme resource hog!), and a couple of other things. As you can imagine, i was looking mainly for an alternative to WMP for playing mp3s. I use CorePlayer for movies playback, but need one for Mp3s...
Any idea which one might have caused the problem...
Best Regards.
Well... it was most definitely HTC Home + HHC. After hard-resetting, i installed it again. And voila! the device fails to start up again.
Am hard resetting again...
Hey i've killed mine twice in the past 24hr, thank god I managed to re-flash it
That will teach me to try to hack out a custom rom for myself, although my phone has just booted now, with :-
Touch-IT Experience 2.2 No Panels, just wanted TFL3D (Good Basepoint, thanks itje)
20931 XPI (ain't managed to get the SYS folder updated yet )
Updated Manilla and other blackstone apps from latest blackstone rom
Changed pagepool to 24mb

Hehe... i didn't flash the rom with a custom one... like the Panels and performance was awesome after tweaking. I like TF3D but only as another Panel and not just the only one.
Windows media player can play MP3's
If you install G alarm it installs the MP3 codec into windows media play. Windows media play will then pick up and play your Mp3 files and display there album art, which is nice. WMP nows plays everyhting well apart from midi files, which play at an appaling quality. Dont forget the update libarary option in media player to scan for files
Down load these midi file, play it on your PC, never has so much passion, & emotion come in such a tini music file, hope you like ! Then see what the X1 plays them like.

Of course Media Player can play MP3s... why wouldn't it? And i even got Album art working with it... but i don't want to use WMP but am looking for a better alternative.
I have an iPhone and to me the iPod player on it is awesome. Flipside provided similar functionality, but too slow and buggy to use. I am keeping my iPhone as an iPod touch so will usually use that for music, but i won't be carrying the iPhone with me all the time and thus wanted some great program for the Xperia to playback music as well...
Yeah, how is it? It doesn't work with My Phone + the R2A NAM rom
Also, is firmware the version of a rom?
what player?
I believe you need to have the ActiveX Deployment and R3A Panel Manager to get it to work.
Both can be downloaded here (but beware, the R3A panel will screw up your X1, and when uninstalled, takes out the panel manager entirely.
As for the media panel, I like it. It's more or less the same, visually. It includes a new radio function, so you can have all your music in the same place. It also plays music files that the old media panel would not play for me. So in that respect I'm pleased with it. Though the song information and album art are still hit or miss. I think the contacts part also shows sim contacts, where before, it only showed ones from outlook.
Personally, I liked the new media panel a lot, but I do not think it's worth the risk of the new R3A panel. It's been nothing but trouble for me and others, and I'm considering a hard reset because of it.
I dont understand ... you talking about the Media Xperience Panel that you can download seperate or some new Media Player program

Hi
I have a quite big and annoying problem that I hope I can get rid off...
When I listen to music through Coreplayer (version 1.3.0 6213) after a while, maybe 20-30 minutes the phone becomes lazy.. for example when entering the settings (personal,system,connections) the icons does not shows immediately, insteand I see the icons one by one... I have tried many ROMS but I still have this problem..
maybe Coreplayer is the problem but the RAM usage is normal and even when the phone becomes lazy the usage is still around 40%... and even after I close Coreplayer the phone is still lazy and I need to softreset to get it working normal...
so I wonder what the problem is? (maybe I will try a WM 6.5 ROM and see if it works better but I don't have time atm) atm I'm using itjes Touch-IT 7.1 Lite + SPB Mobile Shell 3.0...
thanks
at the moment, I've noticed that coreplayer isn't really 100% stable on the Xperia.
Sure it's had improvements, but I think windows media player works just fine =].

windows media player sucks big time, it's not even near of what Coreplayer can do thats why I don't use it, for example, when switching track with coreplayer I don't need to enter the program to do it, I just do it with the "next" button, and it have more fetures... anyone know another program similiar to Coreplayer that works with xperia?
Coreplayer is a media player and not an audio player. Sure, it can play music, but it's like wathing movies on your in-car gps, it can be done, but it's better to use a pmp... Use one of those:
Pocket Player
Pocket Music
Mort Player (the best)
Winamp for Windows Mobile
S2P (pretty good)
Cheers
It's a well known issue w/ Core Player > 1.24. That's why I still stick w/ 1.24.
you could just wait for winmo 6.5 to come out.. if ever.
Or you could flash a custom rom with winmo, from the "Titanium" homescreen, you can change songs by swiping and tapping.
hi all - i just installed the new 1.66 rom from the uk support site and the htc music player is gone! so the only way to listen to music is via the crappy windows music player. did anyone else see this and is there a way to get the htc music player back?
thanks!
maybe you have to activate the musictab in settings?
