Found Patch to Make MP3's Work as Ringtone

A friend of mine found this patch, and i tried it and it works
i then tried it on the New Imate 1.12 rom and it did not work...
but it works fine on my T-mobile 1.01 rom.......
Just wondered if anyone else found this patch

What patch :?:

:?: The Magician plays mp3-ringtones by design. No patch required.

That's true, but no alarm tones. You can only use wavs for that. There are many applications which provide this feature, like WolfClock. I don't know if there's a patch available for this.

could you share a link plz

Yeah mine did until i installed betaplayer, after that it doesnt show mp3's when you try to change your ringtone. Uninstalling betaplayer resulted in no application being able to play mp3's. This suggests to me a file association problem but I have no idea how to solve it. Unlike 'regular' Windoze where you can assign associations fairly easily, mobile edition doesnt seem to be able to do this. Unless someone can come up with a better idea it looks like Im in for a long trawl through the registry

I did this with Winampaq on my XDA2. There is no way to re-associate the files with media player short of a hard reset. Microsoft really dodn't do much testing on this OS at all.

I found this but havent tried it.

been using it for ages, lets you set MP3 rintones from tap and hold menu, copies them...the whole file, to your windows\rings directory and sets as default ringtone.
Speedn

You should take a look at Resco File Explorer which can do exactly this.

Thanks for the tip, I will have a look at that app.
My main gripe tho is that I prefer GSplayer or Betaplayer to Media Player but when I install either one I lose the ability to use MP3's for ringtones, it seems that the phone will only allow MP3 ringtones using the WM engine (or I have missed something)

after installing any 3rd party mp3 program you need to reassociate mp3 files with windows media player to get mp3 ring tones to work correctly.

Thanks people...The app works just fine...THIS is what I had been searching...

Re: Recognize files. The key is to put a shortcut in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/ folder with a usable name. Then say "Open Name."
Re: TCPMP as the default. Voice Command is set up to control WMP (e.g., "Play song". However, if you redefine the default app for file types and put shortcuts as above, "Open <song name>" should open the file in TCPMP. However, the other groovy media controls are particular to WMP.
I WISH: Microsoft would release a new version of VC with hooks that developers could use to control their apps. In general... much more customization for VC. Overall, VC works pretty darn well given no need for training. But I wish for MORE MORE MORE.

Go into TCPMP settings, and set the file associations correctly so all your music files start in TCPMP, not WMplayer.

the file assiocation does not work

How to use (back,play,fwd) button in HTC Audio Manager on HTC Home plugin?

Hi, I have HTC Home6 plugin, along with HTC audio manager 1.02 installed.
However, the button on home plugin (back,play,fwd) does not work.
I have to actually open htc audio manager in order to play the songs. Did I miss something?
Also, can HTC audio manager sorts songlist by title?
or display chinese/japanese fonts in playlist?

When you use the tab to open your player - what player does it open?
If it opens WMP (which mine did by default) you need to edit the registry and change WMP to Audio manager. Wait a bit, turn the pda off the soft reset.
*I think* it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Music Plug-in\ and there is a value in there which needs to be changed from 1 to 2.
Values:
1 = WMP
2 = Audio Manager

Yes, but he means the buttons on the HTC Home player do not work, which is true.
I found you need to actually open the HTC player, start playing a song or playlist, THEN minimise (while its still playing) it and you can control it from the HTC Home plugin.

How can i edit registry? Do i need to type regedit somewhere like in windows?

You need to install a registry editor. PHM Registry Editor is a very popular one and is free.

As I said above, changing that registry entry will only change the default media player. It WONT solve your problem.

well i think this is no problem, but the plugin is created to work like that, you have to launch the player then press ok button(the hardware one) to minimize and then control it trough the plugin. The same thing is with WMP today plugin, the plugin does not play the music, it launches WMP

Just think about it briefly. How can Audiomanager / WMP play any song if isn't running? That is a bit weird idea.

Same here xplode. Otherwise how else would you choose what music to start playing?
I only said what I said as I know that the control don't work for me IF I use WMP. If I use the audio manager the controls are fine once I've set it playing.

I think you need to re-read my post...this DOES work...you start the media player then MINIMISE it (not close it) and the plugin controls will be working...So I think you may need to think about it briefly...

I have the problem to
If i click on launch music wmp starts. but if wmp plays a song and i minimize wmp the plugin control doesnt work no title song or play or pauze.

You need to re-assign the HTC music player to HTC Audio manager for the buttons to work.
There's a HTC Home customizer floating around somewhere in the forum.

I wonder I got something wrong audiomanager version. Please give the good audiomanager version for me to get link. Thanks to read this post.

wakhoma:

Sorry. I haven't noticed I quoted wrong post. It was a reaction to the first one.

Hi biohead. Do you know the registry setting where I can change the default message application when i click on the message on the HTC Home. If I click on the envelope it points me to the MMS application instead of the outlook mail. Please help.

Another reason
I known the reason why my device stopped all and no sound when using audio manager 1.02. Audio manager does not support 4GB SD card (Trancend economy). When I exchange it with my friend (his device uses 1GB SD card), the problem does not happen. Otherwise he use my SD card, he got the same problem as I did.
Hope, this post would be helpful for someone. Thanks

Lovely! Just installed and it works great. Only problem is that it won't launch the music player as it can't find the file "AudioManager". I suppose that's the HTC audio player included in WM6. It would be nice if someone changed the WM5 version of this plugin so that it started the Windows Media Player...
Or is there a way to install the AudioManager in WM5?

Thanks staff, succeeded.

Media Panel broken?

Well my media panel used to work fine. I could play music and watch the video clips that came with it. Now when I try to play music or watch videos the screen goes black like it's gonna start, then it just jumps back to the menu like nothing ever happened.
I think it's CorePlayer that's messing it up... must be something with the file extensions but I turned them all off and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Well I guess I'll just hard reset and check the media panel after I install anything

I have the same problem. I always have Core Player installed. I just removed the media panel thinking it was sh*te

Same on my Xperia I think it was after i installed the Manila HD or the youtube cab.
I tried it with Uninstall the Manila HD but nothing happend.
i hope somebody will find a fix for the media panel, i really like it
PS: sorry for my bad english

have you install youtube by any chance recently?
it'll break the media panel, as well as the camera playback function.
if so, you may have to hard-reset, and install this version of youtube instead

that's until itje or daran release a fix on their respective CAB ...

tried your CAB but the mediapanel is still not working on my device

unfortuantely, you need to hard reset in order for the CAB to work.
alternatively, if you do not wish to hard reset, change this registry to see if it'll help (this is the problematic registry, but this wouldn't undo the system files that are overwritten)
HKCU\CLSID\{C4EF1AB7-F52D-4e83-8C74-0C512FB7EA43}\InprocServer32
make sure Default=HTCSrcFlt3.dll (not HTCSrcFlt2.dll)

okay what is the right order if i hard reset my device ?
i used this cab for the Manila HD
and this for installing the Manila Panel.
PS: youtube doesn't work on my X1 (a german one )
and thanks zenkinz for your fast reply

somebody has reported that the manila cab with the built-in youtube will not break 3gp/mp4 playback, are you not experiencing the same?
my CAB is tested with TF3DHD by Daran, and you can install my Youtube CAB, TF3DHD and TF3D Panel CAB in any order. You don't need to install any other CAB such as Dshow or mHubVO, and in fact, I've not tested if these other CABs (other than TF3DHD and Panel) will break the CAB that I have put together.
PS: I hardcode the installed files to \Windows directory, if your German ROM uses a different Windows directory name, I need to change.

OMG sorry for the trouble i testet another mp3 file (the standart one) and it worked.
but i dont understand this my music worked a few day ago andnow they wont work
well sorry for that

same problems to me, too.
most time the x1 player will not start selected mp3.
it jumps back to track selection. but once, the player played a few pieces of songs.
i will check the reg hint, today.

This works!!

This registry fix does in fact work. I applied it and both the native video camera player and the multimedia panel player worked. YouTube in the TF3D panel continued to work too.
Great job! Thanks!!!

Just curious... how do you get album art to appear in the multimedia panel for playing mp3's? I loaded the album art in iTunes and Winamp, both don't seem to work. Although when I play the songs in coreplayer, the album art comes up...

I added the album art with mp3tag.
I used ID3 v2.3. I tried to use ID3 v2.4 but there are no album covers on the media panel so i returned to ID3 v2.3.
You can easy change that in options of mp3tag

ok guys
Instead of starting a new thread I'll post a comment here....
My problem is not a broken emdiapanel but a missing media panel.
I got a prototype from work(SonyEricsson) and it's one of the earlier prototypes and I'm missing a media panel on it. I tried to copy the media panel from the "program files" folder in a another Xperia phone, put that didn't work ofcourse....
So I'm wondering if there's a way to Impliment that panel???
I'm probably the only one with this problem but I'd appreciate help though
THANKS

see if it works if you create the following registry
hklm\software\sonyericsson\panelmanager\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel

Landscape="\Program Files\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\Resources\MxP_Landscape_Thumb.bmp"

Portrait="\Program Files\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\Resources\MxP_Portrait_Thumb.bmp"

I'll just post my problem here aswell then;
When I try to view a video trough the media panel, media player or the camera application it just gives me a lot of loud static sounds and a black screen.
When trying to use youtube it loads the name of the movies but when I click them it says "Error: Cannot play this video".
I think, judging from what others have said, that the TF3D cab is causing this problem. I still got the "old" one but I wouldnt understand why installing the new one would solve my problem (if it does; please let me know and I'll try it, just dont want to do anything reckless atm).
There's been some suggestions in this topic for registry fixes, would those work for me aswell? Also, I dont even know how to alter the registry in the first place..
