Best Music Player on HD2 Running SPB 3.0?

The Parameters: as mentioned in the topic i'm running a Stock Rom with SPB 3.0 (i find it smoother than 3.5 and with options i like).
- Use will be primarily/only Audio.
- Have a 16GB Sandisk card with with over 8GB of music (in only 1 folder, although i have no problem placing in separate folders)
- Allow me to re-engage BT Headset functionality! (Major Priority!)
Let me also rule out some of the usual Suspects (giving my reasons):
0) HTC Music Player: AM Not Running Sense, so that rules it out (cannot find a way to engage it separately from Sense in SPB)
1) Coreplayer: Like it a lot, fast start (with Library function disabled, but some niggles;
- unable to control with BT Headset.
- Unable to read songs in separate folders.
- Up to 10 seconds switching between tracks.
- Does not have true Shuffle function; always repeats itself. (i find it suspicious if you can go backwards and forwards in shuffle mode and it will always give you the same tracks)
2) Inbuilt WMP; Lags like Hell! buggers up usage of the rest of the device.
3) Pocket Player 4.0: same as WMP if not worse; Only a soft-reset would clear it
4) SP2; Unable to see full music list (although that may be due to the lack of artist folders on the card).
- Is a bit too familiar (i.e. taking liberties with its priorities)
5) Mplayer; A general bugger! (not sure of the version, and not re-installing to check it; was down-loaded circa July'09). Didi not even properly display itself, as soon as you start it up it just flickers and you cannot do any thing else and none of the device keys will work any longer.
6) Nitrogin 1.2 Alpha4; Nice simple layout. Fast. Enabled for Touchscreens, with plenty of other good options (shake to change track!) but (and this time only TWO niggles)
- No BT functionality, and (This is the Major one!)
- Pauses for up 5-10secs in playback when the screen switches off. (and if you use your device for multiple functions, like novel reading, texting, and making/answering calls during your journey to and from work, then this is a Major NoNo! espcially as there is no BT functionality for switching/pausing tracks!)
Sorry to unload, but for me this is the last major road block for True uptake of the HD2 (especially, as for everything else, its an upgrade from my TG01 (which had BT functionality, but lower Bt Signal Strength!)
Any Help/Suggestions would be most appreciated

I refresh this topic, because i looking for music player on my HD2 (windows mobile 6.5). Nitrogen was OK, but when I have in one folder more than 300 songs then between previous and next track is lag for ~5 seconds. On symbian s60v5 was really great music player FolderPlay and i look for similar application. [sorry for my bad english ]

Hi,
perhaps this player is what you want: MortPlayer
I can't send you a Link because this notification from this Forum:
"To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!"
So you can look on the website from sto-helit.de (or Google MortPlayer)

Advice choosing Chinese smartwatch

Hi,
I'm looking for a smartwatch that, while connected via bluetooth with the smartphone, permits:
- to view and reply to notifications from messaging apps like WhatsApp (also recording the reply, it's not important to write it)
- to take incoming calls directly from the watch (speaking with the watch and not with the smartphone).
Moreover, I would like a fast smartwatch with a good battery.
Can you help me with some models? I like the finow x3 plus and the IQI I3, but I don't know if they have these features.
Thanks!

GETTING STARTED with Phone/Smartwatches like KingWear, Finow, Lemfo & Co

Hello,
iam interested in buying a round Smartwatch (i didnt like the sqaure style) and boarderless(without a black ring between case and display, but this isnt really needed) for about 100€/$ ... but have some questions before buying (you know it is a lot of money at all)...
- Is it possible to use it as a "full" tethering device (initiate a call via Smartwatch, get Messages AND REPLY SMS and Whatsapp messages shortly, i know the issue with the small keyboard !)?
- Wish to use the pedometer the whole day and may use the heart rate monitor sometimes (highly 1 to 2 times a day) and want to synchronize it via bluetooth (know this is mostly possible with fundowear app or the related alternatives)
- Didnt want to put in a sim, but like to have mobile networking functions! Is it possible to thetering for example the fundowear app and mobile network both parallele via bluetooth? (i know this may results in low datarates if possible, but wish a longer battery life with this.)
- According to this, i wish to use the "ok google" feature to simply search some informations on the internet.
- Like the full android on the smartwatch, so may i want to install some small apps to it... and which apps will be a must have for a smartwatch (may alternatives to preinstalled onces)?
- Wish to have the possibility to create or download a new Watchface (because not all on stock watchfaces are good or may too simple or too colorful, and i already noticed that it isnt simply like for android wear devices).
- And want the feature of swinging the arm to see the watchface for about two times an hour at least!
- On unbox and review videos i have seen the feature of switching to square aspect ratio, i want this feature too!
This questions and suggestions are mostly software or firmware related...
And which Smartwatch has the attribute of Waterresitence (so i can wash my hands with it, not for swimming or diving)? And want the possibility to change the armwrist with a standard clock armwrist!!! And whitch one has more than 2GB free disk space for some apps, pictures and may some voice records or notes?
I know this forum is the right place for all these questions but missing a sticky thread with answers for these or other questions...
So can you tell me which Smartwatch has all the features and functions and a battery for a daily use (about 12h, by using the listened features)???And is it possible to buy a cheap second charging cable (most are using the 4pin magnetic plug, may they are compatible)???
Thank you very much!

Found this on Youtube for costomize Watchfaces (Smartwatch Ticks - Playlist Customize Watchfaces Tips)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGZLicZ6A2vUbzBPkLGXcSffQ90OPmyc6
but didnt know if this is the same coding for other Smartwatches like KW88 or No.1 G6 or Y3 or DM368 or LF16 ... please help anyway

Thank you very much! I think the chinese Smartwatch thing is too frustrating at this time

No. 1 D5+ Searching for Custom ROM's, companion app alternative

Hi guys,
I bought before 2 weeks a No.1 D5+ via Gearbest without any problems. Watch is working and really nice.
My problem is, that I want more a smartphone assistent instead of a stand alone watch (which the D5+ is disigned for).
I'm using the watch without SIM card. I thought that the D5+ will fulfill the requirements for companion or stand alone watch, but it is more a stand alone watch.
Do someone know that there are any custom roms for the D5+ (MTK6580) out there which are providing all the features, also of companion/bluetooth watches?
My main searched features are:
- Text notifications display
- Call notification + accept or decline incoming call
- BT call with watch via smartphone
- Music control via watch of smarphone music player app (i have a sony xperia Z5 compact)
- of course, flexible watch faces
... all other features are very welcome
If not, are there any other companion apps for smartphone usable which are working with the watch helper (on the watch) compatible? Or do somebody know, how I can disable the bluetooth connection alert from the watch helper app? I know that there is a Xposed module usable, but on my z5c (Android 7) there is no Xposed provided yet.
Thank's for your hints, advices and information.
Greetz,
Marc

I red a little bin it this, but there are no Custom roms which I was searching for. But some interesting things. I will stay on watching this posts.
If someone knows complete new Custom rons for these smartwatches I would appreciate the information.
