Ok my reason for starting this thread is to try and get a copy of all the files pretaining to the operation of Windows Media Player 10.
Can anyone out there provide any helpful files, sometihng along the lines of OS file copies of any device running Windows Mobile SE versions that run Media Player 10.
A registry dump would also be very handy.
Although it seems fairly futile trying to get 10 to work on XDA II devices, this is my goal and I want to give it my best. So if you can help make yourself known.
Cheers

Any XDAII mini / JAM users willing to upload some OS files?
Hey if you find anything please post and share. I've been looking for the same but no luck so far.
good luck.
I really don't understand why are you looking for windows media player 10 for Windows 2k3 edition,
Can't you simply upgrade to Win2k3SE 2.20 CHS version,it is translated to English and I don't find any big lack..i am using it since it was posted on Xda-developers.
you can see english words but it's always a CHS version.
Exactly, the point of this is to have media player 10 installable via a cab.
I'm using forzenzero's SE upload and i find it very good, however having mentioned that the chinese conversion has media player 10 I might have to install the rom and pull the files off of it if no one else is forth coming
is that even possible if its coded right in to 2003se
Again, I'm trying to make this work. Once the attempt is made we'll know if its possible or not.
RE: Media Player 10 Files
Here are some things I've collected:
The Media player files are from WM2003se WWE, the Windows Folder is a part copy of the CHS version as is the Registry.
Hope this might help you.
is there any way to get this to work on PDA2k? Has anyone been able to gte WMP10 up and running on PDA2k? and what are the steps? Thanks.
Anybody got anywhere with this? I am trying with a different device, I am using an orange SPV c500 (HTC Typhoon) which runs Windows Mobile 2003SE but Each time I try to run it I get a message saying the file is not digitally signed. My phone is app-unlocked so it should run anything that isn't digitally signed
Any ideas??
Has anyone got any further with this ?
Surely if we can hack the chs version of wm2003se to english, we can rip the wm10 out of it also.
Turns out I won't get anywhere with this,
the:
windows mobile 2003SE Pocket PC
is totally different to:
windows mobile 2003SE Smartphone
Would be nice if anyone can progress with this!
I know this is an old topic, but I thought I'd ask a quick question. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to take what you guys have done for the xda line and apply it to a non xda device. Specifically I'm talking about bringing WMP 10 to either the Ipaq hx4705 or Ipa 6315. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this I'd be most grateful. I understand that I'd need to get a ROM image of the Ipaq, which I'm assuming I'd be able to create myself. Insofar as getting an ROM with WMP 10 I can get a copy of the Axim 50 which has it.

Any luck for WMP10 on WM2003SE Bros?
I am not upgrading to WM2005 so was kinda looking forward to having WMP10 on my old trusty Xda II.
Hello friends. I am waiting to buy the HD Blackstone here in Greece. I am a Mac user Mac OSX 10.5.5 (Leopard) and as i have read in the net no one has a working 100% way of synchronizing. Does anyone used a way to sync the HD successfully yet? Thank's a lot
http://www.markspace.com/
This is working fine with my HD as it has done with all my Windows Mobiles..
I can confirm it works great with missing sync under OS X
You can aswell install cab files from it.
You mean with Missing Sync for Windows Mobile? But in the supported devices there is only HTC touch. Did you try sync mate?

it works with all the windows mobile 6. it is just a standard program that run on your mac.
It will require to install a cab file on your phone.
I've tried it with HTC touch Diamond, Treo 750 & Kaiser.
Haven't tried with the touch HD as I don't have it.
Very tempted to buy it but still love my iphone 3G.
cab file? Thank you!

sync htc with mac os x
can anybody suggest a free sync for htc mobiles with mac os x?
Thanks inadvance
Use SyncMate (Freeware) or
SyncMate Expert.
Much better than missing sync !!!
Your pocketpc connects on internet via usb or wifi as simple as activesync connection...
I agree, SyncMate is probably the best way to go.
I have only tried the free version and it takes like 3 hours to sync a couple GB worth of music so it might be worth it to pay the $10 USD for it.
Missing Sync has a couple nice features but costs $40 USD. I tried out missing sync and it messed up all of my system settings such as ringtones and notification settings, etc. It is nice though because there is an option to convert any .m4a files to a type that is readable by your phone where SyncMate doesn't have that option.
I have also tried DoubleTwist which is supposed to be nice and it is free. It completely messed up my phone though and I ended up having to format both my phone and SD card to correct it.

Hey guys, got WP7 on my HD2 today and I was reading that you had to manually set your APN to gain 3G. I set mine up (epc.tmobile.com for TMOUS) and I have 3G, yet MMS still wont work! Have searched and searched and it seems some people's just works randomly. Halp!
try download from the market in the HTC section the connection setup... and let it configure the phone for tmobile... I don't know if it will fix the problem but theres no harm in trying
dont you have to go through that long fix to use the market....? right now i cant do that because the SDK tools wont install. says there is an issue installing .net framework 4 something or other.... :/ looks like im going back to stock 6.5 and android for now

If you cant side load the connection setup since you dont have the dev tools installed and don't have it activated with Live... No other way..
Normally it would work with the APN set correctly since theres no other options like mms ip and so on... Enjoy Android.. Lets see if in the future this issue gets fixed
Well... I guess my heart is set that I am so in love with WP7, I am going to keep trying. My issue was the .NET framework. When I try to install the SDK it says that the .NET Framework 4 blah blah couldn't install. Mind you I manually installed the .NF4 beforehand, uninstalling and reinstalling now, will report back. Until then, anyone had this problem then fixed it?

LOL. Got rid of my gaming rig... making dude with an AMD XP 2600+ 1GB Ram, and a GeForce 6800GS. get the job done, but would crumble on W7. I finally got past that point and installed the SDK. Now Zune effed up... reinstalling hoping to fix.
Hope everything ends up working for you... Aslong as Zune loads up and connects to the phone .. All you got to do is go into the market or Music while plugged in and sideloading should work
Hey i got W7 running on an Old Gateway with AMD Athlon 1400 1G Ram and Radeon 9550.. Aero and all runs fine.. Have it stored away just incase

Really? How does W7 run on that PC?
Now back on topic.... lol. So, I got Zune to load and my device connects correctly. Now chevron isn't working and apparently there is a 1% chance of anyone getting it to work on XP. Yet, I was just informed that most roms come pre-unlocked so I wont need chevron!
Now that my device is hooked up, how do I sideload? I have the connection setup ready to go.

If the ROM you have says it comes activated and unlocked with the registry changes already cooked then all you have to do is load up Zune and connect the phone.. then on the phone go to Music & Videos or the Market so the Sync Complete Screen comes up then just use TOM XAP installer or a hacked version of the Developer Application Deployment Program to sideload and .xap you want (connection setup)....
Off topic.. I just started up the setup DVD and it installed W7 on it and right from the start everything except the Audio worked and an update fixed it

What cooked rom are you using? I'd like a preunlocked one... probably make things easier.
had the same issues with t-mobile uk. downloaded the htc conntection wizard and ran that and it worked fine. also try sending a picture message, as sometimes that seems to fix the issue (i had to do this on android).
as for the chevron hacks etc, you are better off using a pre-unlocked rom. look in the wp7 development section of this forum and u will find most roms will cook it in. if u have that then your next challenge will be the windows live id for marketplace access. US have chat support for windows phone 7, but in the UK i had to phone them and just got given a code
your PC will run windows 7 fine, windows 7 needs less resources than vista, i have some very old PCs running windows 7 and they run fine, the only issues i have come across is aero not working, which i can live without.
you may find that it is a worthwhile upgrade, as not only with the wp7 dev tools be much easier to install/use on windows 7, but any updates to them are most likely to only be available to windows 7, plus XP is in extended support, meaning that updates will only be rolled out if they are critical, and most newer software will carry the designed for windows 7 logo.

agreed. waiting for my hard disks to partition and installing windows 7.
I flashed a WP7 rom on my phone that is pre-unlocked, but I am still unsure how to side-load this connection setup. Phone connected and recognized by zuneeeee. What next?

Glad to hear everything started to work out...
This is how i sideload apps
Once Zune regognizes the phone and syncs succesfully while still pluged in... on the phone make sure the backlite is set so it wont turn off.. if it turns off it breaks the connection.... Once you have that set go into the market on the phone or Music & Videos... Once you go into one of those apps it will say that you are connected and it will sync briefly and say sync complete... while still in that sync complete screen start up the Application Deployment and browse to the connection setup .xap and deploy it.. If the connection Setup is signed correctly (official App) it should successfully send it to the phone and load up right away.. if not it should be in the programs list
Hmm.. alright thanks man. Ill definitely give it a shot tomorrow.

Exactly what I have running. Runs Ultimate fine.
Back on topic. Its not tht hard to sideload apps.
Turn lockscreen timer to never in settings.
Open Zune. Wait for sync complete. Minimize Zune.
Deploy xap via Toms xap installer or even easier download wp7 marketplace for PC and set xap file association to have wpdeploy run on double click.

flashed rom 6.5 to 7 with leo7 and magldr112 but xp win7 64bit and win 7 32 bit but active sync and win mobile wont recognise it
WP7 requires Zune for synchronization - ActiveSync or WMDC are good for 6.x Windows Mobile versions.
do you think android is a better rom flash and could i do it fater leo
What stuff do you want to sync?
With windows phone 7, gone are the days of active sync and its brought windows handsets closer to other mainstream handsets...
zune syncs music, videos, pictures, podcasts... But there's no more syncing outlook contacts and calender... For that, you'll need to export from outlook and import to gmail account... That's what I did and it works great...

That´s more a personal/individual question.
If you are into personalizing, tweaking, modding and lots of apps, Android is definitely a better choice.
If you add what the previous poster mentioned, WP7 is maybe even less interesting for you.
But, at the end of the day, why don´t you try yourself? Flashes are quickly done with HD2.

If you decide to flash Android remember to get a SD formatting software that can remove the RAID format that WP7 puts on your SD card when you boot it the first time. Or you will not be able to use your SD card.

I'll admit I would like this too. It is a lot better than the "WIndows Phone App" for Windows 7". Dont get me wrong, if you have Windows 8, the app looks nice but, for Windows 7, would love to get this back so I can sync like I could with my 7.5 device.

I agree with you DavidinCT. I don't think Microsoft quite go the message when we asked them that we didn't need Zune for everything. Although I like the fact that they made the store separate; they still should have left Zune as a music player or at least given us a Xbox music app.

If you plug in your WP8 device to a computer, it will show as a drive and on the drive, it has a Music folder. There must be a way for Zune to sync with it as it would be almost just like syncing with a USB drive or a flash card.
What else will zune sync with besides Zune devices and WP7 devices ? How does the WP8 app do it, maybe so converter/program can be put in there to make it see it as a Zune device ?
With it being like a USB drive, I am sure it should not be hard for someone to do...for someone who knows how Zune works and can access the API for it..
You know what, I wonder if there something in Zune's registry that can be changed?? Hum.... I'll look into it see if I can find anything.:silly:
Hum found something but not sure; under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Zune>Sync>Windows Phone>Handlers>DNS. Can someone look into it and see if anything if it is possible to write a new entry or change something? If it's a dll that needs to be changed then I'll have to leave it to a pro, I'm no good with dlls. Hopefully someone with the know how can help us.

Cool let me know what you find because I've hit a bump.
Not to be Eeyore here, but what you are trying to do is the equivalent of making Zune sync to an iPod or other Mp3 player. It can't be done. You need drivers and numerous other resources from Microsoft, which they have developed.

he has a point here guys, and even if zune was jus copying music from one folder to another like a MP3 player it still wont work as zune has a database as well that would need amending. nope, without some kind of emulation layer, it is unlikely to ever be done
course, I should have checked the dates on this, that was some bump!
Oh yeah that darn Zune data base, I forgot about that... double bump!!
Doesn't WMP sync to usb devices?
and also does video/pictures?
I always thought zune just did what wmp does but for wp, although saying that I've never tried it with mine, just got annoyed at how pointless the windows phone 8 app is...
Yes wmp will sync to a usb device but a WP device isn't a usb device, other than the final result wmp and Zune have nothing In common, i don't have a wp8 device so haven't had the pleasure of using it but Zune is actually really good

Zune speaks MTPZ (Media Transfer Protocol, Zune extensions). WP8 (and Windows Explorer, when showing a "media device" instead of a "removable drive") speak MTP (without the Z). They are not compatible. Your chances of getting Zune to talk to WP8 without a fair bit of reverse engineering or MitM on the connection are quite low, and I don't personally believe it's worth the effort.
With that said, I think WMP does (or perhaps did at one point) speak MTP. A number of other programs do too, including ones for OSes other than Windows. I haven't yet checked to see if there's anything special about WP8's MTP that prevents those other programs from working, though; there might be. After all, it was possible to get Zune and WP7 devices to show up (as MTP devices) in Windows Explorer after a registry tweak, but you did still need to have the Zune software installed.
Windows Media Player will sync with WP8 devices, though its pretty slow.
Attempts at hacking the MTPz protocol have been ongoing for years and it just died out and was never successful. Suffice to say, it isn't going to happen. We'll sooner get a proper syncing client from Microsoft for WP8 before someone reverse engineers the Zune software/protocol.
The only reason I would want Zune to work with WP8 is wireless sync. Wish there was a way to do that with WP8
I'm interested in some type of Music sync, I guess I would like all the zune features (podcasts, apps, etc) but, I would deal with a good music sync app.
Is anyone using anything besides the crappy "Windows Phone app" ? IS there a good 3rd party app that would sync to a removable device (like WP8 shows up as), to have a better interface for transferring music ?

Agreed. The lack of phone-to-PC cloud sync is quite frustrating. 90% of the time I discover music from my phone and want it to sync back to my PC, not the other way around. Xbox Music has its fair share of issues, both in the backend service and in the horrible Windows 8 app. If they don't fix this on the phone in WP8.1, I don't think they'll ever get it right.
It's just a shame because all they needed to do was rebrand Zune. Change the logo, color scheme, and name. I don't think we loyalists would have cared what it's called, as long as its functionality remained the same. Instead, they gutted it of all its unique and useful features, then reinvented the wheel. As a square wheel. Xbox Music is nothing more than a less-functional, slower Zune with fewer songs in its library. What a waste of time and development resources.

if you guys didn't know this Microsoft released the windows phone app for desktop out of beta ... it is a little better then WMP but no where near Zune functionality
Bah I am working on some software to sync music like Zune does.
Music and other stuff as well.
Does everything zune does(except phone updates), plus some other things.
