I also posted this in Hermes Upgrading but got not a single response, so I thought I would post it where most of the cooks and senior members hang-out! Here are the issues:
I am running vp3g's wm6 rom with the modded six tab plug-in although these questions refer to the home plug-in regardless of version:
1. clock displays am/pm - I want 24 hour display if possible. phone settings are set to 24hour, is it a reg hack for the plug-in?
2. when adding contacts/favorite people to the plug-in how can I specify which number for a contact to use? it seems to default to the first entry for a contact which usually happens to be the mobile number when what I want to add is the office number. (may be a general wm6 question as well)
Additional question - How did I enable my ringtones as system notifications? (I can use them as ringtones, but they don't show as system notifications.)
thanks for your input - I have spent a couple of hours searching before I posted, but being at work 16 hours a day kind of limits the time I can spend online at any one time (perils of being tech support for a school district).
Hi,
1. About the clock display, just go to start/settings/system/regional settings/time to do the setting.
2. The contact default is call "mobile number".
That is all I got..

thanks guys
duh - I forgot about regional settings for the clock!
any reason why I cannot use "my ringtones" as system notifications? i used to be able to do it with the black roms - is this specific vp3g?
So are we stuck with a person mobile contact that sucks ass, cause I cant call some people on their mobile I want their home.
Hi all!
This is the PocketPC Version (Viewer) of PVD the very best program to organize your movies.
You can download the PC version from http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/.
My thoughts were: what is the best movie managing and cataloging software worth while in the movie store and searching for a title... or sitting in front of the TV and trying to remember what cool movie I could watch...
That, and enjoying to write software for my mobile phone, were the reasons for mobilePVD.
The software is published at PVD's home and at xda-developers place.
How it works
First of all, you have to get PVD and enter your movies. After that, make a XML export. This writes a file containing the movie information and a directory containing the pictures. Take both and copy them onto your device. I recommend to copy them onto the SD card in a sub directory PVD.
Download mobilePVD and install it on your device. When starting, you will have to select the XML file by clicking Menu->Open DB. Your can select other languages and other skins (if someone makes them ).
When going to a sublist in mobilePVD (i.e. viewing the movie details or selecting directories) and you want to get back, just slide with your finger over the list from left to right...
How to translate
In the program directory on the device is a sub directory called "Languages". Within you find the language files. I deployed English and German so far. To make own translations just copy a file to your desktop, open it with any text editor and translate. Please publish your translation on either forum, so I can build the next version with more supported languages.
How to skin
also in the program directory you will find a sub directory "Skin" with all the images I use. The images in "Manila WVGA" are for a resolution of 800x480. If you like you can take those bitmaps and change them to fit other resolutions and other colors. Don't forget to adapt the settings in the skin.ini file.
And please share your work with us and publish your skins on either forum. I will put them in the download section.
Have fun!

Changelog:
2.1 Filtering is back and actors are grouped by first letter.
2.0 uses virtual mode to load more movies before reaching end of memory
1.1 out of memory problem fixed
1.0 Initial release
If you like my work, you can buy me a glass of wine
Version 2.1 of mobilePVD
I was hoping this allows you to enter movie info directly on mobilePVD. A desktop entry method is rather inconvenient. Would that be possible?
Does this also mean I have to re-export everytime I add movies? I took a look at the desktop version and it is very good. I can see why it is more practical using the desktop for entry of movie info.
Obelix_A, I have exported some movies and I must say it looks really nice on my HD2 although it is still not very stable, sometime I get an error that quits the program. It's only 3 movies so I am wondering if it may sow down when I have much more (2,800 in my collection). I would love to have Ratings and duration. It is missing after export. Thanks, this is great for movie lovers just like IMDB Mobile. I am just surprised that there is not much feedback yet.
I like it to a while to sort all my movies and still didnt get all the pictures from IMDB, hey ho did it manually, i need to change the skins to VGA how do i go about that im a bit of a noobie when it comes to skins?
The Actor list is huge and is close to impossible to scroll all the way down to "T" etc. Can we have a sort of filter to search actor names? trev666, use IMP plugin for movie posters. It's excellent.
@Kensong cheers mate
it works well after i restarted my phone, without changing anything from wvga to vga so im happy, thanks man not looking forward to adding all my movies though lol
Ok so i now have a HD2.... works great
great app, thanks for sharing it
here we go with Version 2.0 of mobilePVD. It now uses a virtual mode of the SliderList, what means, that it can load more movies before running out of memory.
If it runs on your devices as stable as it does on mine, we can start adding new features...
Really nice work mate
Really nice work
If you don't mind, i have share it HERE.
Please feel free to drop me a comment if you have anything else to add or in case i have missed anything. Cheers~
just released version 2.1
Filtering is back now and actors are grouped by first letter
I have installed v2.1 right now.
If I click on one of the "-" e.g. "- Actors" I get an exception:
"RemoveItem in virtual mode not allowed"
I am very interested in the development of mobilePVD since I would love to have my movie list on my phone (TD2).
Is mobilePVD a "one man show" or are you planing to involve more developers?
I will check this and fix it...
Yes mPVD is a one-man-show. you can ask my friend amirdt (here on XDA) if he wants to join the project...
Actually I wanted to ask if I could help you with mPVD
what exactly do you want to add?
the only thing I could imagine right now, is another way to read the data.
play around with PVD and the exported data (XML) and how fast you can read it.
currently I am reading with XmlReader.Read and evaluate the nodes. If you can read faster, this would help. other proposals welcome
Here is just a spontaneous list:
- WM 6.5.5 Problem with menus. The black background (when menues are displayed) does not cover the whole screen. Above there is some space visible. This is because the top bar (where the clock is) is smaller and the windows task bar is bigger in WM 6.5.5 (Sorry, cant supply a picture now how it looks like)
- Filter Actors: Add a search field also
- Add a clear button to the search fields to clear the field easily
- Add (Readd?) a ">" to the Movie list to open the movie details (I think the ">" was already there in an earlier version.
- Maybe make the UI somehow less sensitive. At least on my device it moves very quickly. E.g. I cant open the details view without moving the movie list view up or down accidentally.
- Add "Reset all Filters" menu item to the Filter Menu.
- Remove the search field in the detailed movie view to get more space to view the details.
- Maybe make the "letter lines" (+A, +B, ..) in the actors view a little bit thicker so that it is easier to open/close them with a larger thumb
- Maybe add the "letter lines" (+A, +B, ..) to the movie list also. Dont know, how large collections will be handled right now.
- Add more filters like rating (stars...)
- Add movie trailer support (e.g. prepare trailers on PC (conversion etc.) and copy them to device. Link from within mPVD to start media player on device)
- ...
So where can I get the source code to get started with it?
Regards
Al
ok, ok
I will prepare the sources and make it available for you via SVN, so we can handle developing both.
By now, the list won't move when clicking. I changed that... (but all other things from your list can/need to be done)
so, drop me a PM with your wished user name and password for SVN and give me little time to prepare...
alfish2000 now officially joined the development of mobilePVD. So let's welcome him
thanks for your support!

Anyone else had problems getting them to show on the phone?
Some are showing, like Alternative and House, but others with the genre Loud or Classic House for example just show up as Unknown Genre
cant know specifically in reference to the android/desire software
but almost certainly its because some of your music has tags that the software doesn't support
get a program like mp3tag and check why type of tags (like ID3, etc) are on the ones that work, and the ones that dont
i bet they're different
agreed. didn't ID3 v.1 only have a certain number of predefined genres, whereas v.2 and later would let you put anything you want?
I've also reported the same issue previously. I have a lot of music tagged as "Spanish", which it doesn't seem to recognise.
It seems that there is a pre-determined list of genres and if your tag isn't one of those then it comes up as "unrecognised".
This is a major hassle for me as I have an extensive collection with various tags and they all get put into the 1 (large) "unrecognised" list on the phone.

In several bada 2 Firmware you can find this attached folder in User...

Maybe it is only deactivated... not removed...
No idea yet...
I'm not using this feature...
I have long time ago tried to log with WinComm in XXJL2... to understand what it is...
It seems not *.so file...
Maybe all necessary parts are in apps_compressd.bin...

You will find also in bada 2 apps_compressed few hits...

I don't remember how it was presented in Bada 1.x but there are few things missing.
I remember the record button lol then there must missed something in so file but also strings in rsr files, images on rc1 rmb files, surely other things.
I never understand why they removed this option in Bada 2

I am too dumb to find on Shazam site... but Google is your friend:
ShazamiD
http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/ShazamiD-Download-64034.html
ShazamiD enables users to find out what music is playing whenever and wherever they are.
ShazamiD is the world's leading music recognition mobile application. ShazamiD enables users to find out what music is playing whenever and wherever they are. The application takes a 10 second recording of the music, connects to Shazam to find a match and displays the result together with a picture of the album artwork and any products available to buy relating to that track. Users can share their music iD's (tags) as well as manage their list of tags within the application. Users can also see an aggregated chart (Tag Chart) of all the music people have been tagging using Shazam in the UK.

on bada 1.2 default folder is located musicrecognizer.ini too
It would be nice to create an application that will use the platform echonest. This platform is used by several spotify
The Echo Nest is a music intelligence platform company that provides music services to developers and media companies.
It seems you can use Voice Recorder app...
It makes compatible MP3s, BUT...
"Funny Music" App not allow to use MP3s with Recorded Voice in Header...
Use HEX Editor... nuke Text Recorded Voice in Header...
Then Music App can handle this MP3 and Music Recognition work...
In bada 2 it is called Find Tags, see Pics...
Maybe solutions...
1.
Find App where you can record sounds in MP3...
Maybe something in store is available...
2.
Someone write bada App for record MP3 and store for Music App.
Again.
Summary.
Music App not allow to use recorded MP3s with Voice Recorder.
Because Header is blacklistet...
Recorded Voice ----- > this text string is blacklistet...
Only Samsung knows why...
Best Regards
I used Ringtone Pro to record from my PC and then saved the recording. It was able to recognize it Even if it was saved as AAC...
Found Text String in apps_compressed... XXLA1 for instance...
In FULL decompressed file you can find exact 1 hit:
Recorded Voice (as UNICODE)
In compressed part you can find RECORDED only once...
I'll try to change...
Maybe it is the part from Music app...
We will see. Later I'll post report...
Best Regards
Dirty quick test...
I have modified apps_compressed.bin from XXLA1...
Changed 1 Byte...
Now Voice Recorder app write Fecorded Voice instead Recorded Voice...
Now simple start Music app and now you can work with self recorded MP3.
And you have same Music Recognition like in bada 1...
Only you need 2 Apps...
So no Realtime....
Maybe we find other solution too. To change Blacklist of "Recorded Voice" to use in more handsets... S8600 and so on...
Best Regards
Later today I can upload modified apps_compressed... from XXLA1 for S8500.
In combination with unsecdload.fota easy for short test and without dataloss possible...
My 1 Byte Mod affected only 2 Bytes... in decompressed file. See Screenshot.
Best Regards
I figured out how to do it on my own
Nice mod adfree
Thanks for the hints
Best Regards
This file is modified apps_compressed for S8500...
based on XXLA1.
Please read carefully... AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1.
You need unsecdload.fota

A.
Flash only FOTA file
B.
Activate special Bootloader... HOLD call + ON

But this time use this file.
ONLY apps_compressed_MuS1.bin needed to flash.
File is here:

Important to flash modified apps_compressed is to bypass Security check from Bootloader...
With help of FOTA.
Flash FIRST FOTA only.
Only if you can manage to see this Screen on S8500, flash apps_compressed.bin...

Download: Latest Google Play Store 3.10.9 HERE http://db.tt/0LhMhT0D
Google is pushing out an updated Google Play Store version 3.10.9 that follows the previous versions 3.9.16 and 3.9.17.
What's New
New screen that pops up after you start installing new apps. The screen serves as an interstitial between the last installation step we're all used to and jumping back to the screen with the progress. It does help shine additional spotlight on app discovery thanks to a clickable Users Also Installed block of apps, but it feels more like an annoying filler page that you want to skip when opening an article on something like Forbes.com. The additional screen only increases the amount of clicks needed to install a new app and go back to other parts of the Play Store, so I'm definitely not a fan. To be clear, Keep Shopping returns you to the app you are installing (also shown on the right):
Next up: a Remove icon in My Wishlist similar to the icon that was added to the All tab of My Apps last time around. A small but welcome change for quicker wishlist cleanup.
Update #1: The Play Store now requests two more permissions: ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION - both location permissions of varying accuracy. It's unclear right now what it uses them for.
Update #2: A large chunk of the additional space (300KB) is taken up by a new library Google has bundled in called keyczar. I don't think there's anything interesting here, as the Wallet APK (and probably other Google apps) bundles it as well, and it's related to cryptography.
Update #3: There is a new Translate button next to app descriptions that shows up if your system language is set to something other than English (or maybe it tries to match the declared app language with your system language - I'm not sure). Either way, it's a great addition for those of you who may need help with translation (thanks, Floris and Marius for spotting this change!):
Update #4: There is now an Improve these recommendations button at the top of Recommended for You (thanks for spotting this one, ZZ!). I'm not too sure exactly how it works, as clicking each name just opens up the Google Voice circles dialog, and clicking Add adds people to the Friends circle. I suppose, adding people to your Google Plus circles will help the recommendation algorithm behind the scenes. I'd like to clear this up right now though: you cannot see other people's apps - this is not a way to share app lists explicitly.
Also, perhaps the new location permissions are related to finding people you may know and determining your area more accurately (some apps are recommended based on popularity in your area).
Thanks, dude!
Doesn't Play Store updates itself? That's silly!
This is for people who want it earlier, or wish to speed up the roll out process
