Develop Bugs

Here's a lvsw developer variant ROM based on CE 5.2.1413

Here's a tweaked developer version of the original CE 5.2.1413 Kernel equipped lvsw ROM
I've tested it and so far have not seen any battery or processor issues. The included taskmanager shows 80-90% idle with the remainder taken up by the taskmanager application itself.
v1.1 of this ROM includes:
everything in v1.0
GLYPHCACHE limt re-optimized at 32,768
Mobile Office 2K7
HTC X-Button v1.5
ClearVue PDF viewer removed
v1.0 of this ROM includes:
4MB Paging File
packaged with Tadzio's tools but exe's not compressed
glyphcache/cachsize optimizations
A2DP optimized for highest Fidelity (A2DP patch is not included).
additional apps: GSFinder+, DotFred's Taskmgr, PHM Regedit, SIPChange, Austinboy's Fieldtest
VoIP optimizatons: dialplan normalized for US calling (default areacode is 262 on 7 digit calls), connect over 3G as well as WiFi enabled
Live Search today plugin is set to use Google and works just fine when spaces are part of the search term
As always, because its targeted at developers, this version has the Extrom hidden and all customizations are disabled on initial start. Note: this will disable the video calling tweak. Manually install video calling phone skins if you wish to use Video calling with this version.
Free storage memory is about 45MB and free program memory is 25-30MB. Displayed Today screen items have been reduced and re-ordered in this manner (note: the additional plugins are still present, just unchecked in Today settings):
Date
Live Search
Internet Calling
Owner Info
Email messages

The installer will also upgrade your splash screens to the "Sun Rising over the earth" HTC theme from page 1. Your Radio, IPL and SPL will remain unchanged. This is a SSPL only installer so you must be connected with ActiveSync. Then, just execute and it'll take about 5 minutes to install.

v1.1 Release Notes (check back here periodically for updates)
Mobile Office 2K7 is the latest beta release. It's here because this is a developer ROM. Here are the known issues:
OneNote can't rename or delete notes
vp3G found the registry problem that causes this issue! The fix can be found here
The very first time you run Pocket Excel, nothing happens (this only occurs once)
In Pocket Excel, tools->Save As is actually tools->Sort
Here are the known HTC X-Box issues.
On the Today screen, changes the font on SPB weather and SPB Time to Black (only happens if "Enable Today X button" is selected) SPB has posted a fix for SPBWeather as it seems there are other today screen apps that cause this behavior too. You can download the fix here
Unable to add programs to the exclusive list without reghacks.
There are a few other unconfirmed issues as well but no major show stoppers. Its included in this build because the Today screen close button feature is just too damn cool (and a pretty blatant SPB Pocket+ ripoff btw) to not let you folks play with. Heck, this is a developer ROM & its followers need to see this app firsthand (and perhaps run it through IDA Pro too )...
Please post your XP with these issues; I believe the OneNote problem is solvable without having to revert to an older version. This is why I included it here. X-Button may or may not work better with this kernel so let me know if it is experiencing issues and what other apps you might be running with it!
v1.0 Release Notes (check back here periodically for updates)
To improve display performance change the following value from 16384 to 32768:
HKLM\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit
I've been unable to reproduce streaming A2DP in powersave mode since the first time I tried it btw... I'm working on this; the rom I was using was a descendant of this release & I just assumed it would work... sorry...

Great work Sleuth, will try soon, thanks.

any chance of an unpaked version, as i like to recook mine

Sleuth dude, you are a bad, bad man.
I finally get the phone how I like it, and now you tempt me with another developer version...
Well, I downloaded it, now to see how long I can resist flashing it.

As a great contributor to XDA community, would you mind to hexedit the version to 5.1.195 ?

Most excellent.

Thanks man

giving a try now. thanks!!

..oh I am getting that itch back... ..a man gotta flash what's a man gotta flash... thanks sleuth, u da man!

Thanks Sleuth255

One more big thanks for you. with people like you (and fortunatelly we have more) ths community has the future granted. Congratulations.

Wifi issues
Thank you for the release! However, I'm having Wifi troubles and I was wondering if there were any changes made regarding this issue from the LSVW release. I'm experiencing quirky behavior where the a certain network would be available for connect and when attempting to connect, that network suddenly becomes unavailable on the device. It's a strange behavior.
UPDATE: After doing a clean reinstall, I found that the Wifi problems I had before is gone. Everything seems stable (BT, Wifi, GPRS all seem to work well with no drops or problems). It seems like a clean slick build. I have the usual problem of Messaging menu disappearing when I click the REPLY button to either an email or txt but this is consistent with all of the other cooked roms I have encountered. Overall, it's a very nice build. Thank you again.

Well, I tested this ROM pretty extensively on my 802.11G network here. I remained connected for well over an hour until I terminated the test. I was using a Linksys WRT54GX2 access point.

Well, its a developer ROM so I'm afraid I need to leave the version alone. Developers working with this ROM may build code that depends on the major/minor version numbers being correct. This is a major update to WM6 IMO and the versioning is what distinguishes it to an application.

Just open the exe with WINRAR and extract ruusigned.nbh. You can strip out os.nb with pof's nbhextract.

tried that but get the divide error, if its possible to have the windows.nb b4 tadzio is used onit, for me i remove all the unnecsary windows junk such as the music stuf window live pdf powerpoint etc, as i only need a very bare bones os...lvsw is the best as far as im concerned but i lik to recook the os

I only cook with tadzio's tools. I didn't think that caused an issue with re-extracting tho. I'm checking it now... I'll post os.nb if this is the case.
edit:
worked great. I extracted ruu_signed.nbh using WinRAR v3.50 then pulled os.nb and the splash screens using pof's original nbhextract v1.0.
Don't use OliPro's nbdump program as it'll blow up.

Any alternative download link? I'm can't download from rapidshare.
Thanks

im using koch to remove files from the os.nb, but when it tries to dump the nb file it gives an divide by zero error...evry thing else runs fine

better alert dutty ITMT, just download pof's nbhextract and use that to get os.nb.

seems i cant rextract it once its been run thru tadzios...both app extract the nbh fine just cant extract the resultant nb though, as thats what i want to play with

Sleuth's New Developer ROM (CE 5.2.1238 Build 17913.0.3.0) is now available!

This new ROM is a custom graft containing the Hermes RTM CE/HAL along with some "best of breed" RTM IMGFS components. It is not an RTM variant however, so it does not suffer from reported RTM ideosyncracies. Instead, I started with my very stable aku .3 lvsw variant, changed out the XIP, refreshed the apps, Improved the BT handsfree profile and added 4GB SDHC support. This ROM therefore contains XIP/imgfs components from Hermes, Trinity, Universal and Wizard WM6 builds. As such, it is quite unique to XDA-Developers. M$ has not released these components all in one place for Hermes.
v1.0 of this ROM includes:
SDHC support: tested with 4GB cards
GLYPHCACHE limt re-optimized at 32,768
Mobile Office 2K7
My ATI Imageon patch cooked in
The New Block style CommManager GUI is enabled
HTC X-Button v1.51 cooked into the base ROM. All major bugs fixed!
Windows Live cooked into the base ROM
4MB Paging File
Big Storage
A2DP optimized for highest Fidelity based on hardcore's research.
additional apps: GSFinder+, DotFred's Taskmgr, PHM Regedit, SIPChange, Austinboy's Fieldtest, Adobe Reader LE, Audio Manager, Streaming Player
Windows Update and QOS removed
VoIP optimizatons: dialplan normalized for US calling (default areacode is 262 on 7 digit calls), connect over 3G as well as WiFi enabled
Live Search today plugin is set to use Google and works just fine when spaces are part of the search term
can toggle the phone skin between Video and Non-video modes using lsvw's TweakUI program
The RTM bluetooth Handsfree Profile has been cooked into this ROM. This provides the improved Car Kit support reported in RTM releases.
Like any software created by an XDA-Developer, this ROM is free for you to personalize. I'm not in this for the donations (although they're always appreciated ), rather my primary focus is to give you a better Hermes. So, use this base ROM to learn the ROM kitchens then go make your own ExtROM for this to customize Today Screen etc. Simply add a file called preconfig.txt to /windows to enable autoconfig (you'll need to dump a production ROM to unravel the syntax btw ) to run your extrom at cold-reset startup. Because Preconfig.txt has been removed, the base rom has no autoconfig and will go directly to the today screen.
Free storage memory is about 49MB and free program memory is 29MB. Displayed Today screen items have been reduced and re-ordered in this manner (note: the additional plugins are still present, just unchecked in Today settings):

The installer will also upgrade your splash screens to the Gold HTC Innovation theme. Your Radio, IPL and SPL will remain unchanged. However, for best results I recommend running a radio thats at least 1.40. Posters have reported lower battery consumption when listening to 3G streams when running the v1.43 radio. I have not personally verified this yet however.
I'm using OliPro's latest RUU installer in this version and recommend installing using the SSPL option. Vista users: be sure to check out this guide for how to make SSPL installers work on your version of Windows. Or, jcespi2005 reports that with the latest WMDC (v6.1), you can upgrade through CustomRUU normally like in XP. WMDC 6.1 itself can be found here.
note: I run windows XP so YMMV on Mobile Device Center.

"Bling" in this ROM
Sorry, but there are no fancy today themes, catchy colors or spectacular splashes included in this base ROM. All you get is performance and reliability. Bling is a personal expression, so you're free to add your own.
So, what's on your today screen? Post screenshots! Upload themes & post links and I'll put them below.
CUSTEL's black theme (thanks CUSTEL) http://www.tri-syndicate.com/CUSTEL.tsk.zip (just change the name to CUSTEL.tsk after downloading, its not a zip file). I'm actually running this one now because the block style taskmanager looks better with black menu/taskbars.
v1.0 Release Notes (check back here periodically for updates)
X-Button requires the latest versions of SPB Weather/SPb Time to correct the "Black Font" issue. The latest version of SPB Weather is v1.7.0 Build 767 and the latest version of SPB Time is v2.1.5.
The softkey editor settings are initially out of sync with the actual softkeys. Additionally, you must SR after the first time you use it to get your changes to stick. After that, the program works normally.

downloading now....thanks sleuth! cant wait to try it.

Fantastic! I just got my 4GB SD too. But now I too wait for my SDHC reader to come. I wish my ImageMate was compatible, guess its too old.

Did you replace the rilgsm.dll in your rom with an older one to prevent problems with HSDPA download speeds?

@austinsync: Of course.
This is a custom build containing the best components from many devices. The best way to think of this build is to consider it identical to my last ROM but with the following improvements:
SDHC Support (required RTM XIP)
RTM Sap Profile
RTM X-Button, Streaming Media, Audio Manager
RTM CommManager with the new "block style" GUI enabled
In short its everything the AKU .3 ROM was with RTM improvements.

Precisely. This is not an RTM build. Only the XIP and some components are from the RTM release. The base imgfs is from a whole different device

Hi, loading down right now - I´m looking forward to your new rom - sleuth.
Thanks to you and your work and to all you gurus here and your cool board.

Sleuth,
In your modified ROM do "taskmgrres.dll.0409.mui" and "taskmgrCustRes.dll" belong to TaskManager X button or to DotFred's Taskmgr?

X-button.....

This all sounds great Sleuth255!
but sorry that I have to bother you with this question..
"can you also make this rom in a Dutch version?" I got the Dutch files from M$ SDK"..
He keep doing what you do!

Thanks Slueth,
I think i may give this one a whirl - will report back any issues.

Thanks Sleuth - just installed and getting my goodlink up and running again. Looks pretty zippy so far. Had to clean up the 3G icon, but everything I generally run has installed fine.
Quick question. You think running Tweak UI and Shadowmites HTC Custom at the same time is going to cause me grief? I like some of the features in each .. so have both installed, but started to wonder if they would conflict (don't see why they should).

shouldn't be any issues running both tweakers weinson.

Hi, I believe this rom is the latest for Herm200. However I notice the transcriber input is missing.
Anyway to retrieve it?
Thanks guys.

Could you possibly post some screen shots? Thanks.

Initial impressions..
First off, Thanks Sleuth!
Everything has gone smoothly with the rom so far. Download uneventful (thanks for the rapidshare link), flash uneventful, activesync synchronization seems faster than with previous roms. Program installations also fast. Cab file installations ditto. Not sure if its due to recent reformatting of my microSD, but I think the rom is also a factor. Usually I have to tweak the file cache settings to get comparable sd access (they have not been tweaked though). HSPDA works out of the box after I put in my carrier settings. Bluetooth paring had a little bump in that the "x" stayed on in comm manager after pressing the icon initially, but I went ahead to bluetooth settings and was able to pair to my 260 plantronics stereo headset. Sound seems very nice. Will have to use it for awhile to judge skips, etc, but none so far using music player.
Nice rom!
Regards,

Thanks Sleuth,
So far the best, stabile and fast, no issues!

cant play mms:// streams with wm6 in wmp

For some reason wmp cant play mms:// streams on my trin.
This is the error i get,
cannont find the file. The file might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. If the file is stored on a server or a removable storage card, the server or storage card might not be available.
It doesnt even try to connect , it just pops up this error right away after pressing ok.
Im using the dopod wm6 rom on my p3600.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

Hmm ok mms:// urls do work.
However only when i use an normal url.
If i use an ip address it fails right away and gives that error for some reason.

I bet your MMS settings are off. Have you followed the instructions provided by your provider?

mms:// has nothing to do with multimedia messaging.
Its just a live stream , called Microsoft Media Server protocol.
The problem is that i try to connect to my webcam at home , the url i should connect to is my ip like this: mms://my.ip.number.here:8080
But that doesnt work. (also doesnt work if i dont add the port number.)
It does work if i use this kind of url:
mms://this.plays.fine/bla
So i probably need another program to create the mms stream.

Just curious, I never use mms. Could you post an url that I can test on my P3600?

I'm wondering about this too. I used to watch newsfeeds using what I believe was mms:// streams, though I gotta be honest I am not 100 percent sure of the format, but they all used to play fine in WMP. I would just click the link from a bookmark in Pocket Internet Explorer then it would connect and play in WMP.
Hadn't looked at any for a bit, probably not since I upgraded to WM6.
Just recently I discovered I can no longer play them (as in not on my Trinity, I can play them on my laptop). Here a couple of sample links to try:
http://dynamic.cnn.com/video/meta/live/stream.1.large.asx?nsfg=&CNNid=
mms://msnbc.wmod.llnwd.net/a275/e1/video/100/vh.asf
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n24/bb/wm/video/heads_bb.asx
Actually, I realize I can;t even get the Windows Media Mobile home page clips to play either.
http://www.windowsmedia.com/mobile/
So I guess I am not just having mms:/ stream probs.
According to the Wikipedia entry (and just cos someone entered into Wikipedia I realize that does not automatically make it true, but that's the link for what it is worth...) it is an outgoing Microsoft format no longer supported in WMP Mobile
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Media_Services
The Windows Mobile entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_mobile
...suggests that the only format support in WMP now are .WMA, .WMV, .MP3, and .AVI files.
I am gonna dig around on the Microsoft site to see if I can come up with anything there. Also, I wonder if there is a thrid party player than can handle these? I have tread both Coreplayer and TCPMP and they both return an error sayig they can't handle the codec... which is similar to what WMP says too.
Maybe on of the many gurus on this board could please shed some more light on this one? TIA

did u check coreplayer which plays all of those format? you can find in by using google and do coreplayer v1.1.1 build 1600 you should be able to find it on share download with the code.. I believe this is the last free version they had..not sure though.. I know someone put it on some rom and then got taken off...
Good luck.

Thanks for the helpful feedback. First off, I've got a really basic question for anyone reading. Please would you simply open WMP on your Trinity and click on the little globe that takes you to the Windows Media Mobile website, then see if you can play any clips... I can't. If it is just me then I know I have something screwy going on. Otherwise something more substantial may have changed.
Also, if this Microsoft MMS format is getting a bit out of date maybe people would be kind enough to suggest some other news feeds and stuff which use the players built into our Trinity's as they are now?
Yep, I have Coreplayer, though mine is 1.0.4 not the latest which does seem to be the 1.1 release. It wasn't and isn't free - might be why it got pulled off the ROM mentioned and the site is a bit unconventional as it is mainly geared to selling to OEM manufacturers not retail, so I can't figure out if I can upgrade without paying again. I can say that vers 1.0.4 does not appear to be able to stream any form of Media, though it can play many kinds locally. The description of the slightly newer version suggests it has some streaming but not for any Microsoft formats. Here is the link to the Coreplayer site.
I am sure people already know but just in case Coreplayer is the commercial descendant of free TCPMP which can be downloaded here. The last version was 0.72 and that can't stream the Microsoft MMS type file either.
Both these players are handy and have slightly different features. My version of Coreplayer can play back Apple QuickTimes. While TCPMP can play Flash FLV files using this extra plug-in
I also tried downloading the old WMP 7.1 for Pocket PC from Microsoft here.
I managed to install it but not suprisingly it won't launch. Think I'd better remove it before it really messes up my Trinity!
Oh, I dug around on Microsoft's support site and while it does not explicitly confirm the Wikipedia info, it appears to suggest it by ommision. I can only find references to the MMS format in relation to old products.
Sorry for the long post. Please do let me know if you can access and play clips from Windows Media Mobile. Many thanks.

Maybe its the Rom!
im using mUn 2.00.S.E WM6 and i can play MMS/streams no problem in WMP

Uh oh! Well...OK then! I can stop goofing around with Media players! It is obviously either my ROM version (or just maybe a conflict between the multiple Media players I have installed). I am on the current AX3L ROM. Sounds like I should consider the mUn 2.00.S.E WM6 ROM then!
I guess I could also try the Official Dopod WM6 or hang to see if an HTC 6 ROM does really comes out soon.
Thanks a lot for that. You have saved me any more wasting time on this and I do appreciate it.
EDIT: Please note that I have since identified and solved the problem, details in the post below. It was ABSOLUTELY NOT related to AX3L's ROM. It was an issue which could occur under any ROM. It turned out to be about which programs have been associated with which file types and how Windows Media Player handles things.

SOLVED! - can't play mms:// streams with wm6 in wmp
I have solved my issue with streaming Microsoft MMS:// format files. Happily, it was not a problem with my ROM version.
My first clue came from this post which I found elsewhere.
This suggested that no matter what changes are made to the registry, Windows Media player will still attempt to handle certain types of streaming files - particularly Microsoft MMS:// streams and .asx and .asf media streams.
(Incidentally, to my knowledge, the 3GP streams used by sites like You Tube Mobile do not cause any conflict and do not overlap with this specific Windows Media Player issue).
I discovered that my installation of Coreplayer and TCPMP and very likely my attempts to set them to handle certain files types (like MMS:// streams) had resulted in Windows Media Player mishandling certain file types. In particularly, instead of just directly streaming the MMS:// files it was first downloading a file ending with the extension .WMWebASX or .WBWebASF and then attempting to open that file. This resulted in an apparent codec error.
How I finally fixed it.
First, for all files that can be handled by Windows Media Player, I turned off any conflicting file associations in Coreplayer and TCPMP. Then using the registry editor Total Commander, I went through the HKCU area of the registry and deleted ALL entries named TCPMP.bak... there were LOTS. Fortunately, Total Commander has a find command!
Then I also went through all the entries in the HKCU section of the registry for streaming files that can be handled by Windows Media Player including WMWebASX, WBWebASF, asf, asx (and a quite few others) and made sure they all pointed to \Windows|wmplayer.exe. (Many had gotten set to point to TCPMP's player.exe on my device and this had to be changed).
Finally, in Wiindows Media Player's Network options I set it to use Port 500 for UDP (the best choice of available port may depend on your wireless carrier - try port 80 if all else fails). Without changing this, I got sound but no picture.
BTW in regard to the OP, I belive that DNS and/or firewall issues, probably at the wireless carrier's end can also be a problem for some people. For instance, if your browser requests a file on one port then the file is delivered on a different port the carrier firewall may shut it out as if it were an unsolicited packet. It may also be also worth trying different DNS servers e,g, the OpenDNS servers, or if you use them already and have probs, try going back to your carrier's DNS servers. Definitely it will also be likely be necessary to bypass any proxy server such as ATT's MEdia Net for example.
Hope this info is useful to others.

Absolutely - unless you manage to mess things up like I did! ! I use AX3L's ROM myself. Just love the BIG storage! I admit that I did wonder if it was a ROM issue for a bit, but as I explained it turned out NOT to be ROM related AT ALL. This problem could occur on any ROM. It is about which programs have been associated with which file types.,
It was almost certainly caused by the way I had set the preferences in TCPMP (which I use to play back Flash FLV files). I do have Coreplayer installed too, but the misconfgured registry settings all came from TCPMP.
Sorry for the overlength post above, its probalby so long it might be confusing! I just thought that as quite a few people do use additional Media players it may come up that someone may have a similar prob, so I wanted the solution to be available if they searched the board. I hope my experience might save them time in figuring it out.
Sorry if I left any impression this iis in any way a problem with AX3L's great work. That is absolutely NOT the case in any way. Hope that sets the record straight

Do you know how to play an .mp3 stream in WMP?

Codecs
In some roms when there´s lack of some codecs if you put these ones in the windows folder it starts working,I have some more but I believe this is enough,plus maybe some of your roms come already with those codecs.
Let me know if it worked for you guys.

Simple technique

Friend, you just need to put the symbles /* at the last part of your address. You will aquire your webcam vedio. Although I know the trick, I can't help myself. Since I flashed Karmba's rom, I can never success to connect to my webcam. I just can watch my webcam vedio through wifi or when it's syn to my PC.

What folder should I copy the files to after I unzip? I am having the same problem as the OP.
Thanks.

In some roms when there´s lack of some codecs if you put these ones in the windows folder it starts working,I have some more but I believe this is enough,plus maybe some of your roms come already with those codecs.
Let me know if it worked for you guys.

TCPMP netDrg v2 NeoXL Tech1 HD2 Digital Hi-RES Version NEW!!!!!!

The new TCPMP netDrg v2 NeoXL Tech1 HD2 Hi-RES Version with the netDrg engine, plus added high end codecs is now available... Before playing any video/audio files, open the TCPMP player go to Options> Settings> Player and check mark the block "play at open".... Next tap on Select Page> File Associations and check mark ALL the blocks, tap OK in the lower left corner, exit the TCPMP player, a soft reset of your HD2 is required.....
I tried many versions of the TCPMP on my HTC HD2 bud for me this version is by far the best 1. If you gonna watch a movie, for example divx avi with a srt sub file put video settings on GDI instead of DirectDraw.

What is a netDrg engine? And will this only increase performance for the HD2?

I ran this app on my Blackstone and i really like it, however i would love to see a full screen working gapi driver.. Still haven't found it yet..

"Hi-RES version" - bu it still has the 1008 pixels wide limit for video files, right?

Come on?!
...netDrg v2 NeoXL Tech1 HD2 Hi-RES Version with the netDrg engine...

Tech1 really likes to give fancy names to his repacks... What on earth is "netDrg engine" (making stuff up are we)?
This "new version" is pretty much a bundle of bimbam69 TCPMP version (which is actually the newest TCPMP version and not just a pack of old components) with a skin (similar to the one from netDrg... but not as pretty IMHO) and a couple of useless dlls (did a benchmark and it's pretty much the same)...
This may have been out of proportion but it's sad to see that bimbam69 (the guy who actually updated TCPMP) gets less credit than the skinners/repackers that release bundles based on his work.

I admit this build isn't as good as he hyped it to be but TCPMP was created in mind to b a shared program which users could update and create plugins and extra features for anyone to include in any build. The only thing he did wrong was not give credit to BIMBAM. Way back when BETAPLAYER came out then when TCPMP came the creators even said they wanted the users to keep the software updated. Everyone eventually uses the most up to date plugins in their build. Its been that way since this great player was created. BIMBAM has done great work that has made the player better but even he knows and probably does not care if people use hia plugins in their build. Its open source, learn about it. Its not like anyone creates any plugin from scratch. They are able to create and build upon TCPMP cause the creators wanted it to be that way.

Dude I was only pissed because the proper credit wasn't given by the pack author (not the thread starter)... I believe Tech1 skimmed netDrg thread and took his as the developer behind the new version.
I'm all for OSS development... And I'd be one of the first giving props here if a plugin was developed/updated but skinning hardly qualifies as development. I just think it's preposterous to announce this as a new player version when in fact it's just a bundle with a different skin and a few useless dlls (even though it's not the poster fault... Tech1 hyped this as being a new and better version in a lot of PPC dedicated forums).
I believe it'd be better if it were released as a skin (in fact I believe a TCPMP skin thread is due... for one there are some at netDrg thread).

is this just for videos or can you use it for converting internet videos

TCPMP has been skinable since around 2005. Almost all 0.71 versions were skinable. Most recently the PHENOM editions were skinable and they are over 2 years old. BIMBAM did not create the skin plugin the creaters did. Actually I know for a fact that the interface.plg in this build is an old plugin and not the one from BIMBAMs build.

so, basically this "version" is COOL because someone found reason to add magical(BS) word(HD2) lol?
you know what, that is funny;/
(-yea, i have BEST PHONE, said HD2 user
- mhmmm, fu. said PDA user).
now, let's wait for big sig named: DONATE.
that topic is clear offence for bimbam69, author of current tcpmp line, imho. and i agree with frmariam who pointed whole thing.

@pupakota
Thanks! As usual you are the (angry) voice of reason... one of the few left in this bleak HTC era...
@Porkenhimer
Actually you are wrong. Yes 0.71 had some skinnable builds and yes Phenom was able to find one of these (the 0.71g... he didn't develop it... he did some fancy Mortscripting though). But part of the skin components was always stripped from the official source releases (though a lot remained). bimbam69 implemented the missing part (I believe he coded it himself).
This is not a 0.71 build... it's one of bimbam releases (and not even the latest one). Notice the browser may still have the small items and old icons but the browser shows flv files (Phenom had to bundle his pack with 2 TCPMP versions because 0.71 didn't) and it has the same subtitle function built into the core components.

BIMBAM is THe Man
Sorry for all the fuzzzing... Im new here and playing around some weeks now on this and several other sites. I found this cab on hd2 forum and mobileunderground..And for me it works very good, no lags. I just wanna share this great peace of software with people who need a great player on their leo. If the maker or developer is BimBam all the credit go's to him...
Ps Hope leo will live forever. Keep up the good works guys and thanks a lot for everything.

Don't worry you didn't do anything wrong I was just dotting the "I". I was mostly pissed with Tech1.

anyone tried benchmarking this version???? compared to older builds????

I am sorry for form of my previous post..
I shouldn't drink and driv.. write, sometimes..

You guys seem to know whats going on/ what you guys are talking about.
I wanted to know whats the best TCPMP version out there for HD2, ive done my search and dont have a any thing conclusive,
Also can someone please tell me is there is there any hope for fluid MKV playback on HD2.
my avi's and mp4's of same resolution and bitrate as my MKVs play fluidly but my MKVs always stutter.
Please let me know if there's a patch or TCPMP or even Core player version that can handle MKVs with stutter.
Thank you

Upnp
Is there a UpNp-plugin or something like that for TCPMP? Or is it something i can make on my own?

Though this is kind of an old thread I'd like to point at the fact that the V2 version of netDrg's TCPMP had an unpleasant bug: Skipping back to the previous song actually skipped forward to the next song. NetDrg fixed this in his V2.1 version. This NeoXL version of netDrg's TCPMP was based on V2 so it too has the skip forward bug.

Still No Good Pandora APP ?

The 2 I ofund on here are real small at the bottom and it doesn't show album art.

I've used the following cab for a long time, and while the buttons are tiny, it has always shown album art.

I would also suggest trying Slacker Radio, if you have not already. It does the same thing Pandora does, but the Slack Radio WM app has much better sound quality, very finger friendly, and a bunch of built-in radio stations as well. I've pretty much given up using Pandora on my TP2 in favbor of Slacker Radio for these reasons.

Is this CAB different from the ones earlier mentioned? If so, I'ld like to try it out and would appreciate a link to the post that contains it.

I have Sirius, Slacker and Pandora. I find Pandora the most reliable. Seems that Slacker does not buffer at all, Sirius buffers some. I can barely get Slacker to play for me and Sirius is constantly rebuffering and it also does not always start back up after a phone call. Pandora always plays.

i actually just discovered Pandora last week, I canceled my Sirius, since i liked this so much, and i got pandora one, but it sucks that I can't find a good app for my phone, My girlfriend has a great pandora app on her stupid blackberry torch , i'm jealous. I just want a good app.
The buttoms are so damn small on this one.

Search quickly found the thread, but based on the comments about losing the album art, I'm afraid to try it!

Only reason for me to change from the CAB I posted earlier would be to get bigger buttons.

Thanks, i've tried that on and every other one i found on here and all same problem , no art

HTC TP2, T-Mobile
WM 6.1
Most Sense stuff turned off
I do remember that the Slacker was just for WM 6.5. Maybe that is why mine does not work well. But is also did not work well before the new release.
My Pandora is Version 1.0.25 and it shows album art. Buttons are tiny, but they work. It does not show in the list of active tasks.

I do these steps for my installation
To get Pandora working on your Touch Pro / Diamond:
1. Download the Pandora.cab (mirror)
2. If you don’t already have it, download Advanced Config Tool 3.3 (mirror)
3. Install both applications and open Advanced Config Tool
4. While in the Advanced Config Tool, navigate to Network>TCP Window and change the value to 98304
5. Save your changes, and soft-reset.
6. Download This VGA/EXE Fix (mirror)
7. Replace the orginal .exe (in \Program Files\Pandora\Pandora.exe) with the one from the VGA/EXE Fix above.

We have Sirius XM and while it isn't free it is an option and there are a couple of WM apps that work and provide album art and over on the Android side (assuming you may own a HD2 too) Sirius XM's own app which works terrific. If you have a subscription it's a $2.99 add-on, however, if you don't I think it's $8.99.

I wanted an easy to download app instead of constantly looking for one that "works" on my WM device. My solution was to ditch Pandora all together.
Frankly Slacker.com and their WM6.5 app is just awesome. I like their service more than Pandora personally.
I will move to Last.fm when WM7 comes out as the integration with Xbox Live and the phone will be nice to have as Slacker and Pandora aren't offered on XBL.
Sorry but just offering some thinking points.
