When I use the Dutty's 2.1rom, it is usually stuck (for example, the song stop for a little moment) when i use the manila player to play the music, is there any way can fix that? Thank you.
Hi,
check out all 25 pages of posts - there is no method that totally stops the stuttering
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460100
could someone explain why the hell the manila music player cant play my files in the right order? it just plays a few tracks of an album, e.g. 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 12th track.
very crazy!! i tried all possible options but no way to just play in normal order. and it doesnt show any album covers which are in the same directory, jpeg files. is this program just trash?
It seems earlier versions weren't the best but if you flash to one of the more recent roms the problems have mostly been sorted

Thank you.right,for example,the dutty's 2.3 rom seems fix it, but I don't like the new start menu~and I find is use wmp it will never happen,seems it is someting wrong with manila......
If you use task manager to disable enlarge start menu service, you will see the standard start windows menu instead. This worked on both 2.3 and 2.4 roms.
Regarding the track order, the solution I have is to create playlist and store them under \storage card\playlists. Once playlists are generated, I can pick the album from the playlists and its in the correct order. I have a tool that generates the playlists by scanning \storage card\music folder. I can share if any one needs.

Thank you for the advice of new star menu,but if you do this, when you show the program page in manila and tap any icon in the page the old start menu will jump out. Is there any way to fix it?
And could share the software you said for the music scanning?
Hi there,
I am not sure if I understood you correctly. When I disable the service named EnlargeStartMenu(EMX0: ) , the start menu returns to calssic windows one. The size is also reverted back to default start menu. To disable the service, I set it to start manually and restarted. The only side effect I have is that, since programs tab is not available in new manila, I loose the quick launch tab. However, I don't see it as a problem.
Regarding the playlist tool, I have attached the files here. PlayListUtilityApp.zip contans an exe you need to launch in your device. You can copy it to any folder. Then set the location of music files as well as playlist export folder. Then File -> Create Playlists will scan the folders and generate a playlist for each album.
The output folder \Storate Card\playlists seems to be scanned by manilla player, so once you export them, playlists will be visible in manila and track will be correct order.
This may not work for everybody because it requires the following layout in music flibrary:
Artist
-----Album
-----------01. Track
-----------02. another track
or
Artist
-----Album
-----------DISC 1(CD 1 or 1 as folder name is ok as well)
------------------01. Track
------------------02. another track
-----------DISC 2(CD 2 or 2 as folder name is ok as well)
------------------01. another track
------------------02. another track
also
Artist
-----Album
-----------d101. Track
-----------d102. another track
-----------d201. another track
-----------d202. another track
Over the years all my albums are stored like this in my hard drives therefore, a simple copy and paste makes them work for me.

first things first, i bought this phone through tigerdirect and it came unlocked with WM5.. i installed the EnergyROM and love the looks and functionality of it. I ran into a few problems.... im not the type to develop things on my own, but if there are written directions i would be able to follow it.
1. Phone always says that there is too much memory being used and i should try closing programs before opening other ones. But its weird bc nothing will be open, and i try and open the camera and it says memory is full. is it just a bug or is there a way to fix this?
2. Im trying to use .wav audio files as my text, e-mail, and alarm notifications. except when i add the .wav files to the my ringtones folder, they only show up in the ring tone section and not any others.
3. On the main screen of WM6.1 with the sliding panels, is there a way to get my SMS, MMS, Outlook and other e-mail accounts on the same tab? im tired of scrolling down, i would rather see it go to the right or left.
4. some keyboard functions dont match up when using the FN key (!,&,%,$) the only one that works is the question mark. is there a file i could install over the old one, or something i can do to fix it?
any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. thanx
No need to make new thread post in the thread of topic NRG ROM thread....
I have the S2U2 program for Windows Mobile....and this message "s2u2 v.2.40 by A_C - ac-s2.com" displayed at the bottom of my screen that will completely delete it....???
Yeah, I'm wondering too
I don't know why but it went away when i changed the wallpaper and changed the text size to small, i didn't do anything else.
a way to get the code of the program and delete this line....??

Just ask the author...
hahaha......
Can't you live with that?
1) It's free software
2) It's only displayed for a few second, after that it scrolls to the left and gone.
3) I think one of the reason the author put that text was his experience when some people sell his free software. He almost stop the development further but fortunately he has big heart and continue. Just do a search in the this forum.
I'm very happy with S2U2 and S2P. They have good looks, stable & customizable. These are the very first few programs I always install after I got a new phone or install a new rom.
S2U2 - 1000 times to make a PAYMENT!!!!
many - [email protected] and keygεns but no slide messages..

Only prob is that after I syn my i tunes playlist by "double twist"(only free software i found to synch i tunes to WM)it appears as name but is always empty...in other words what i mean is that the sych playlist is read by window media player in my HTC touch HD but this software does not read it...if that happenes this will be a perfect software comparable to I phone/touch.Other issue is that at songs level the names of songs are not as they are in i tunes but from album to artist level they appear as one has tagged them in I tunes.
any suggestions plz!
Hello all,
I have Astro installed on my phone and I love it. However, there are couple of things that I wished it had or works.
1) If I go to a folder of all MP3s, I want to play all, and same goes to JPGs, I want to view all the images in that folder only.
2) If I long press an MP3 and say add to "Play List". I actually want it to be added in the playlist. =(
Are there other applications or tricks within EVO or Astro so I can do the requests above?
Thanks very much in advance guys.

I have an HTC Touchpro 2 with windows mobile. The touchflo bar at the botton of the HTC Sense homepage is nice with one exception...the inability to change default programs.
Let's start with the webbrowser for example. I do NOT like Opera. As a matter of fact I use Skyfire. Currently it's sitting in the PROGRAMS tab and then I have to choose the browser from there. I would like to set it up so that I can just go to the internet tab and hit the planet/web icon and it will launch skyfire instead of opera. Is this doable?
Then there are the bookmarks on the internet tab. I don't want this to be a political thread, so don't make it one. It comes programmed with CNN and ESPN on there. Well one, I do not like CNN and I'd much rather put FOX on there. Second, I don't much care for sports so I'd like to remove ESPN altogether. It would be nice if I could add my own bookmarks.
What about the other programs? Can I change the default calender? What about the text program? The text program is ok but when I am sending a message to 10 people, I dont like having to type in each number or go select each name one at a time. I'd like a text/multimedia program that will let me select multiple recipients.
I know this is a lot to ask but once you point me in the right direction, I'll get it. Thanks in advance for the help.

This website's search function is your friend. Instructions on how to make Skyfire the default browser in the Internet tab:

Cookies Home tab Editor (which requires Cookies Home Tab to be installed also) lets you change the applications launched from the Sense tabs (Messaging, Calendar, etc. but apparently not the Internet tab?). Its also an awesome way to customize the home tab, and well worth having on your phone.

If you don't want to make it a political thread, why not just say "I want to change the website shortcuts" ? You can want to change it from CNN to Bang Bros for all the heck we care.
Changing the website shortcuts in the Internet tab is simple. In the Internet tab, just touch Menu, remove the shortcut, then add the website of your choice.
Thanks.
Well, I guess that's a start. I was hoping to not have to install a different home screen or tabs slider, maybe I have the wrong idea about the Cookie app, I'll check it out.
Good point on the political part. I still honestly didn't want a political debate on my news choices but I could have gone with a different example. As for going into Opera and deleting the bookmarks and putting my own, that doesn't effect the pre-programmed bookmarks on the Internet touchflo tab. I think that removing those bookmarks will take some actual digging into the phone system files.
As for changing the default browser, yea, that part wasn't so hard. What I meant was that I wanted to open the internet touchflo tab and click the internet icon and have it open Skyfire instead of Opera, changing the default SYSTEM browser only affects what browser is used when opening hyperlinks from texts or emails.
Thank you for your suggestions though. They ARE greatly appreciated and I will check out the apps you suggested. As for the search function, I hate it because I can never get a narrowed set of results that apply directly to what I'm looking at. I'll try again though. Thanks again.
scratch that, I just looked at the first link you posted about the internet, I think that was PRECISELY what I was looking for. Thank you.

Yes, the CHT re-skins the home screen. It has awesome customizations, but it does use more program memory (some complain that it slows down the TP2 too much). So if you're on the fence, it might not be for you.

You aren't reading my post very carefully. I didn't tell you to delete the bookmarks in Opera. While in the INTERNET TAB, select menu, pick "Remove Favorite Shortcut", select "Done". Then select "Add Internet Shortcut" and pick the website of your choice. I haven't been using the stock ROM for a long time now, so it might be setup a bit different. But I don't think so, from my recollection.
Yea, I misunderstood. Sorry. That might be due to the fact that upon opening the Internet Tab, there is no menu button. Tapping and Holding on a bookmark does nothing (i.e. circle of dots...onscreen "right click" menu), and the soft keys only show Browser and Bookmarks. Browser is obvious. Bookmarks, well that lists two bookmarks that AREN'T the "permanent" bookmarks I was talking about.
But I should note that I have found the solution, kinda. If you search the phones system files (via computer) go to /application data/manilla/InternetPortal-en-us.xml then you can edit the default browser AND add/remove "permanent" links. Now I say I KINDA figured it out because unfortunately my .xml is write protected. Even if I right click and open the properties, uncheck "read only" it still remains write protected. If I create a new file, similarly named, the phone for some reason ignores the new .xml file and reads as if there is no .xml (provided that I remove the original, as I'd have to in order to make a new one)
So I'm about to try and figure out how to edit this .xml. I'll figure it out and when I do I'll post the solution on here. Wish me luck...I'm SOOOOOOOO close to getting this right.

Are those 2 links that you see under "Bookmarks" in the Internet tab the CNN and ESPN shortcuts, or something else?

If I remember properly, the trick the un-write protecting the Manila files, is to copy them (use Total Commander or similar, not the built-in File Explorer) to another directory. Then go Properties, uncheck Read Only, then copy back to the Manila directory to overwrite the old file. Save a version of the un-edited .xml file just in case you screw something up.
Yea, those two bookmarks are something else. Sites that I personally bookmarked IN Opera. I hit that softkey and it opens Opera and takes me to the bookmarks in the browser.
As for editing the file. I already messed it up. Copied to my desktop, edited that in notepad, and copied it OVER the existing file without thinking. As SOON as I started the copy I realized that I failed to make a backup. ****. Unfortunately, now my phone acts as if InternetPortal-en-us doesn't exist. It opens up my systems default browser (which IS skyfire) but the first screen isn't google like I specified in the XML, instead its an Error 404 type screen that says it can't find "\Search\\Home" or something like that. I also edited the permanent bookmarks, deleted youtube and espn, edited cnn to show fox. Now only 1 bookmark shows up...and it isn't Fox like you would hope...no, it's youtube.
I can't figure out how it defaults to youtube nor can I figure out why, with no programming errors or file-name errors, my phone believes that the file doesn't exist. I downloaded Total Commander and edited the properties of this file to read as READ-ONLY and SYSTEM but that didn't help either.
So, do you have any fix ideas? Yes, I know it's a good idea to make a backup, I typically do. I just got impulsive and reckless. Moved too fast.
I'm out of ideas. Personally, I don't use the Internet tab. In fact, I turned that tab off. My browser is one of the quicklinks on my home tab. It might just be easier to go that route.
If you want to return the Manila file to the way it was before, and don't mind losing your data, customizations, etc., a hard reset will restore the phone to factory condition. Go to Start>Settings>System>Empty Storage.
Well I thank you for your help thus far. I have been thinking about a hard reset but it really isn't worth it. I don't use the internet tab either because I use skyfire. So I'll either disable the tab or try one last thing. My father has the same phone. Service and model. I'll try copying the file from his phone and hopefully it works will with mine. I can't find anywhere on the web to download this file so this is my last logical resort.
