So I was playing around with different skins to get one to work with Cinema Experience. Seems the Ace skin works OK with it. If I play the movie first, then stop, then do again but wth CE, it's all good.
After playing with the various skins, I uninstalled them. The problem is XBMC now takes up over 1GB of space where as before I did the other skins, it took just over 500MB.
I installed ES File Explorer app, but wondered if anyone here could give me some tips as to where to find what I can delete? Or point me to another post/forum/wiki.
Thanks,

I was googling for siemens sx66 games, and a number of .jar file games show up. I downloaded a few only to find out that i dont know what to do with the file as it didnt do anything. Does any know how to play these games or know of a site where i can download games for the blue angel.
EDIT: Okay I found a better program to play java files (.jar), and it has sound which the esmertic jbed did not. Anyways its called "intent java midlet manager 11.1.7.1036". Googe it and you'll find it. All you have to do is download a .jar file any website, after that just use active sync to transfer the .jar file to your BA, and install it from there.
EDIT: I found out why esmertic jbed did not have sounds. Reason was because it was built for wm5, wm6 or wm6.1. I was using wm6.5. Anyways if you are on those wm i specified then esmertic jbed is alot better because you can play 3d games with audio. Intent java midlet manager can not play 3d games.

You need java to run those games. (.jar)
Would there be some kind of .cab file that can allow that? If not, then am i going to have to pay for games or something?
EDIT: Okay ive been searching around the forums and have found a .cab for the java. Yay, and I got it working, so those games I downloaded, I can play now. "intent java midlet manager 11.1.7.1036" You can also you esmertic jbed, it is better for gaming because it can play 3d java games but there is no audio unless you use wm5, wm6, or wm6.1.
Anyways, now that I got that working, does anyone know the best browser or stream video software to view online videos on the BA?
You mean "java" best browser?
if yes, you can try Opera Mini. Many ppl use it on their java handset.
if no, then I thought you mean browser available in WM, I dunno the best as I havent tried them all, but so far I used Opera Browser v8.65 on my BA, it supports tabbed browsing, it can open and do e-banking. The minus is Opera v8.65 cannot save pages.
btw, is your java runtime on BA can play audios?if can, what java runtime do you use?
thanks
i personally use the following:
- PIE6+flashlite (came with my rom):
nice for quick surfing, all pages have desktop layout, fast scrolling, slow loading
- skyfire
also full desktop experience, because proxy'd, good for streams, fast page loading, slow zooming,scrolling, bad for forms and other interactive sites
- youtubeplay
for streams from youtube, faster than skyfire in accessing videos, download of videos possible.
unfortunately neither of those has tab browsing, but i just don't like opera
i suggest you have a look at all those browsers and give them a try with the sites you usually go to, concerning loading time, and zooming and scrolling and how good they work for you.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Yeah, I use the PIE6 flash lite that came with the rom. It's good acceptable but sometimes it gives me trouble. Oh yeah, I have a question, do I have to erase the previous programs to install a new one? Like for example, If I want to try out skyfire or opera, do I have to remove PIE6 flash lite in order for it to work??
About the java, no, the one I downloaded from a file called "intent java midlet manager 11.1.7.1036". It's basically a program that allows you to install play .jar files. Which are java games. You can can also use esmertic jbed, better for gaming.
of course you can use multiple browsers on your system, if you want you can even run them at the same time (useless but possible).
for those who play zynga poker n would like to play them on their ba try UZARD broswer its fast plus im using it to play so i know it works for sure .. i m using wm 6.5 by d two
I hope this is in the right spot!
I finally got fed up with my Fuze and I bought a Tilt 2.
I am having a couple of problems which I "think" is related to WM6.5
1) The sites that stream .mp3 will not open Windows Media Player and it tries to save it as a file instead of playing it. It looks like WMP isn't set to open .mp3 files??? Is there a fix for this?
2) I like to listen to audio from talkstreamlive.com and when I open the webpage, the list of shows is screwed up. There's no space between the list items, instead, it shows one name half on top of the line below for the whole list. I tried adjusting the screen zoom, but it makes no difference. If I fire up the Fuze which has WM6.1, all is well.
I tried searching for similar issues, but so far I haven't found anything like these.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it!
Thanks

Well I dont use WMP for anything anymore. I use Coreplayer and it will open up URLs and play mp3's mp4's etc.
This may be the easiest solution for you.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I installed the new version of CP and that solved one issue, so how to I make CP the default player instead of WMP? I know how to do these adjustments on desktop PC's, but these mobile devices are a new deal for me...
I also solved the screwed up display too!!
Thanks soo much for the help!

Having owned an HD2 for 9 months and struggling to type on it, I decided to try the Touch Pro2 and bought a nice example on eBay. In terms of usability as a phone I find it way better that the HD2, the acoustics and volume are great, it’s comfortable to hold, and finally I can type properly. I also bought this phone for the TV-out that the HD2 lacks. However, the video playback is terrible!
I have been through the forums here, tried all the tweaks and fixes, tried every setting in TCPMP/Core, tried disabling Sense (which makes no “sense”) but still videos which play fine on the HD2 are barely playing at all on the TP2 - jerky, low frame rate. I don’t want to have to re-encode everything; I download DIVX TV episodes, around 350MB each, and just play them directly on the HD2. I realise the HD2 has a much faster processor, but I’m sure my old Diamond played these videos just fine too.
I have tried the latest stock HTC (unbranded) ROM that the phone came with, with Core Player, and also tried the latest Energy ROM with the built in TCPMP – no difference. All I see on the forums is that it’s a known problem with the TP2 and WM6.5. But I can’t believe that all the loyal TP2 users on this forum are just happy to accept the virtual lack of video playback capability on a phone like this.
Is there a fix, or am I going to have to put this great phone back on eBay and continue my quest for the perfect phone?

i hear about this problem a lot. try converting the file format of the video to .avi or mp4.
personally i have no problem with video playback. havnt tried mkv yet but im not too hopefull on that one.
If you cant play it decend, then it's a rom problem. I use valkyre roms and I never had problems what so ever when I wanted to play a video.
So try that rom and see how it goes.
If i want to view a video on my TP2 i convert it with this tool:

I spent much of yesterday trying out different DVD/video conversion software and finally settled on one that does a great job of converting files into a format that plays well on the Tilt 2/TouchPro 2. I don't know why, but it appears this phone's version of WMP doesn't like MPGs or WMVs as much as it likes 3GP files. These files (in both *.3gp and *.3g2 format) play almost flawlessly and without artifacting, something neither MPGs or WMVs do on the Tilt 2. In the process of auditioning all these various programs, the best I found was Pavtube's Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate. Don't let the name fool you, it does much more than just Blu-ray. In fact, it can handle almost anything you throw at it and the flexibility of output choices is amazing. Not only are there templates for just about any video/audio format you'd want, but they are editable, so you can change them to your needs and then save them as custom templates. I was hesitant about the $69 list price (the trial puts a watermark in the middle of the screen), but I did some searching and found a discount coupon online and got it for only $37. I have converted all 3 Matrix movies, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and a BD of the 2nd Narnia movie. I had the choice to preserve the theatre aspect ratio or go full screen and both look stunning on the Tilt 2 and play with barely a hiccup. I have some traveling coming up and wanted to take some movies on the road. This program was well worth the money and I spent hours trying others with varying degrees of success. The one free option (Freemake) is OK, but has nowhere near the customizability and its 3GP conversions do not play properly on the Tilt 2. The WMV conversions I did had artifacting issues with fast motion and the MPGs looked horrible and laggy. I wholeheartedly recommend this program from Pavtube. Here's a link to the discount I used.
http://software-coupon-everyday.com...o-converter-ultimate-42-discount-coupon-code/
BD conversion is a real-time process (yes, you need to have a BD reader), but DVD conversions take about 25 minutes for a 2 hour movie. The one BD movie I did yielded a 900mb file and the standard DVDs yielded about 500mb files. You can get them smaller, but quality will suffer a bit. I have a 16gb card, so no worries for me.
BTW, the serial number worked on both my desktop and laptop PC installations, so I can take it with me on the go.
I don't understand why you would do all this workarounds when all you need to do is flash a decend rom?
What workarounds? If you want to transfer DVD movies to the device you have to convert them somehow, and the software I recommended makes it possible. Not everyone wants to go through the hassle of flashing ROMs. Yeah, I know it can be easy, but the trial and error of finding a ROM that suits your needs, is stable and the chore of reinstalling all your tweaks and programs is a real pain. No thanks.
Hate to say it cuz I love my TiltII but IMHO it is that hardware acceleration of the video was not implemented in the driver by HTC just like the original Tilt which was a dog for playing video files as well. I have found that the HTC video player will play H264 mp4 files that are great looking and not jumpy but it cannot be that high of throughput.
Have you looked here for a discussion about the problems:

Are you running Atom's or Neo's cab? After reading through all the related threads, seems like Neo's latest V3 cab has better performance and higher compatibility with the Tilt 2/TP2, but it's over 1mb compared to 80k. I assume this needs to be installed to system memory, not the SD card.
I installed Atom's cab and while it did speed up the box animation, I see no difference in any of my 3D games or in TF3D performance. I read where many are installing both Atom's and Neo's cabs and seeing improvement. I may try this, but I'd like to hear from others that have done so.

Yup. Running OCX at 710. Movies played fine even without that. 3D games are a little laggy, though. Just wondering if I need both 3D drivers to see the full benefit.
Hi,
Ive tried the one from the amazon store and it fails to load any videos, sames goes with the xbmc youtube plugin. Not sure why (Rooted / UK)
Can anyone recommend me one that works?
Thanks
The one from XBMC has worked fine for me.
Both working here.
I had to uninstall the Google Play's YouTube app because of terrible stutter and server failure playback issues caused by an update.
Get the Youtube HD Mod on XDA in a thread,it plays fine and has a noticably MUCH smoother framerate..
And best of all...no rooting required!

This is a modded YouTube version with an option to download videos as mp4 and mp3. https://mega.co.nz/#!h8lARAKb!q770cVQonN8BrQHaZEBM_2ab6U6HX4R3MLXMpPNDb_M

Take note that all downloads from "mega" take up extra space in browser data for some stupid reason.
So,if you download a 1MB file,you will take an extra 1MB of precious space because of a file in the web browser's data folders.
And if you get a 271MB file from there,expect a 271MB increase in web browser data.
I suggest getting a barely used browser just for that site so you can delete the data whenever it gets excessively big.
appreciate it but i tried the above and it doesnt work too well with the AFTV controller. In fact cant get anything to play
What player are people using successfully on the Swift?
I'm looking at VLC player, but wondered if anyone has any better ideas?
well am now running VLC, and I love it.
It's a pity that I can't just go into Gallery and play it from there and VLC kicks in and takes over, but I like the way you can go into VLC and choose the source from a file list like Windows Explorer (it even tells you how many files/subfolders are in the file at a glance). quality and sound are great, tested it on 1st episode of Roseanne series 6 and nothing jumps out as "ohhhhhh ****"
I'm only an occasional user of vids on a phone, so this suits me perfectly. Oh and it has an equaliser aswell, nice clean gui, and it's orange so sort of ties in with the Wiley colours
