Touch Cube and Audio Manager - General Topics

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can make WMP the standard player on the Cube instead of Audio Manager?
Actually I would rather use Audio Manager but it doesn't work.
Until yesterday, i was running the original 6.0 on my Touch Dual. I could never get audio manager to work - it only found one song - and it couldn't be played because of a broken path/link or whatever. Yesterday I upgraded with the original 6.1 from HTC - and figured that audio manager would then work.
But it's almost the same problem. Audio Manager now finds 2 stadard win 6.1 songs - but none of my own songs. There's just a search icon running in the top right corner. I have tried to let it search for over an hour, but it finds nothing. I thougt that a fresh install with 6.1 would work - but no such luck.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

OK... - figured it out. Just changed the value in HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/MediaHubMini to wmplayer.exe instead of AudioManager.exe ... - but I still would like to know, why my audio manager doesn't find anything when searching for songs.
But now I have the problem with Cube / Photos. It points to /Windows/HTCAlbum.exe - I would like to point it at StorageCard/My Pictures - but that doesn't work. Does it have to be an exe-file in order to make it work or what?

If it is the case that it can only point to an exe, which is the case for a lot of registry strings, then check out VJBrisk. It will give you an executable to point the reg string at, and then will just activate the link, which you can copy from the start menu.
Search for vijay555 on google to find his site and the app.

Hey jez
I haven't tested yet - but that looks EXACTLY like the app that can make it work.
Thanx! )
I downloaded Touch Settings. So now I can change the folder without going to registry, but I still need an exe - so VJbrisk should do the trick.
----------------------------------------
Oh well. It was worth a shot, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I can create an exe-file, and I can also get it to open my pictures folder via Total Commander, but when I try to open via the cube - I get an error that says something like: The files certificate is not trusted or a component is missing?

Can't get phone settings panel to close

Alright, I'm at my wit's end here. I've been trying to port over some of the AKU 3.3 files directly from the tmobile WWE rom. Everything is working flawlessly except I cannot get the phone panel to close when I press the X. I'm not sure if it has to do with the ringtone player or not. I've changed the phones settings dll to the one in the crossbow rom and the reg settings check out. It's frustrating as all get out because I'm close to having this thing ready to release. Thanks.
Make sure the ringtone plays if not it will not close.... Fix that problem and it will probably work (make sure the tone is in the right place, make sure the registry points to \windows\. If you want to store them on your card just create a folder called, My Documents. And inside that folder create a folder called My Ringtones. Put your tones in there.
I does play. That's the thing. Also, it seems as if the interface has a problem. When I hit "open speed dial" after hitting the menu button, it gives me the settings-services page.
You may be on to something as the ringtone will not change. I wonder if this is hard coded into the registry somewhere. I'll have to check around.
Bump. This is driving me up the wall.

In the kitchen thread I posted the MediaOS files. I'd suggest either verifying that all the files are there - or just replacing the whole set.
Did you find any final solution?
I'm facing the same problem with my Trinity ... even the MediaOs folder replace didn't work out!!!
Yes, this was a result of the DRM modules being included in the OEM folder while cooking along with the registry settings. You'll have to look at the folder but all modules related to lsmoa must be removed along with the registry settings referencing those modules. Good luck.

Am I the ONLY one having trouble changing cities in the Weather app?

Greetings all. Had my Touch Cruise about 3 days, and I love it. I've got iGuidance installed and working great, the music button added to the HTC home screen (I'm happy with 5 tabs for now), Installed PocketCM Keyboard which allowed me to "register" my Skyfire beta (having some trouble streaming audio from kjram.com though), etc.
So this device does EVERYTHING I was doing on my HTC 8525 before it died. EXCEPT being able to add additional cities to the HTC Home Weather Application. I'd messed with this on the old phone, and managed to edit the HH weather file under Windows, replace that file with my own version, and then I could add more local cities to the application, and then view their info whever I pleased.
BUT on the Touch Cruise, I can only copy the HH*blahblah*.xlm file... not replace it. Not even with Total Commander, or after hiding the HTC Home menu, soft booting, and then trying to un-writeprotect the file. Has anyone else had any luck with this? I found a thread from a guy who has some universal unlocker apps and such, but all they did was corrupt the HTC app and I was lucky uninstalling them fixed things without a hard reset.
Thanks!!!
Everything works fine here.

Weather cites
I have been able to add any US city I want changing the buitilt in home plug in for the modified 6 tab package that is offered here.
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
Get this modified package and you have an up to date home plug in that you can add cities to
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/htchome-2.1-n2a.cab
Remember to uncheck the htc home in today settings before you try to copy the modified xml weather files back onto your phone. If you don't it will not copy back
Thanks for the replies. I'm still having trouble so I'm linking to a pic of the problem here.

As you can hopefully see, the HH weather file on my Touch Cruise is read-only. And no program I've tried will change that property. What you see here is AFTER unchecking HTC Home from the Today page, doing a soft reset and confirming the HTC Home plug-in is NOT loaded, then connecting with Activesync and trying to change the properties of that file.
I've also used applications on the device, such as File Explorer and Total Commander, but neither of those worked either. Wonder what I dorked up that I can edit the file like others can.
N2A's Weather Patched Files
Go to N2A's site
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
He tells you how to do it. If you still are having problems let me know what city you want in it and I will make one for you.
You might also need to disable the HTC Home plugin, if you have one running already, from Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items After doing this you should be able to copy the file to your pc modify it and the put it back and over write the file there.
mpf54 - I know exactly what your saying, disable the plugin BEFORE trying to uncheck read-only, or before overwriting it with a copy I edited on my PC. But I can't uncheck the read-only on the device, as the option is greyed out. And when I copied the file to my PC and edited it (as I did on my AT&T 8525), I couldn't paste my copy onto the Touch Cruise for the same reason (would NOT let me overright the file).
As for N2A's site, I tried following these instructions. But I've been unsuccessful put a copy of my DLL into the directory he specifies and "unlocking" my ROM. And when I tried his "Touch" rom, that didn't seem to work on my phone. I had to uninstall the software so the HTC Home screen would show up on my device again.
So I'm guessing I need to "unlock" my ROM somehow so I can edit the HH weather file that is a part of it. But I have no idea how to do that...
Weather
Get this file.
http://weather.not2advanced.com/file...me-2.1-n2a.cab
It is a repacement htc home that also has the 6 tabs. It is also modified already to be able to get other cities not on the HTC list. After you install this cab file then go in and modify the Weather cities list. This has worked for me on a Touch, a sprint touch and my touch cruise.
mpf - Really appreciate the help, and finally understand how this works.
The version of the weather app on my device seems to be part of the ROM, so I can't edit the HH weather file.
However, when I installed the ROM you suggested, it installs ANOTHER copy of the Weather app, and that version stores a DIFFERENT copy of the HH weather file I CAN edit.
So I just need to copy a version of that file to my PC, edit it with Notepad, and copy it back. Should be golden after that.
Thanks again for your assistance. Just couldn't understand what was wrong previously.

Glad you got it working. Took me a while to find the solution but that new plugin made it easy.

No, I don't think you are the only one. I am too having problems with my weather. I am living and working in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. i followed the instruction, but when I tried to get the weather for the city. It could not find it.
I'm having trouble with my weather also, but not in the same sense. My problem is the weather report, temps and such is usually wrong by as much as 10 degrees with what the local weather report says which is more or less correct. I usually update manually to save battery. I think I might trial some other weather app and see how that goes. Anyone else with with this problem?
German Tool for HTC-Weather
Hi I'm a german and sorry for my worse english.
I had made a little tool for the german Orbit2 / Polaris-users but i think it may also work for others (link to original post).
Translation:
1. deactivate HTC-Home plugin:
go to "start -> preferences -> today" under "elements" disable the HTC-Home​2. Location-Code:
get your location-code under
http://www.accuweather.com/world-ind...her&traveler=0
in the addressbar it should looks like that:
www.accuweather.com/world-forecast.asp?partner=
accuweather&traveler=0&locCode=EUR|DE|GM012|TRIER&metric=1​3. Change the HTCWeather.dll:
install the CAB-File (N2A Patched Home Plugin DLL.cab)​
4. Install my file (HTCWetterXML.cab)
start the program "HTC Wetter XML" and insert the above data (see picture original post).​5. activate HTC-Home plugin
6. soft reset
7. test it
the data is entered directly in the registry not in the "HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml". So if you change the city over the plugin the data are lost. You have to restart my program and push the insert button again.
here you can get the files.
hope i could help
ppcfox
cbreze - Afraid not. After loading the "new" HTC Touch app, I needed to set the weather back to F for the temps to make sense to me. But I've been able to add several local cities to my phone now, and its working really great!
The one thing I'd kinda LIKE to change, but I'm not going to sweat it... is the new HTC app I installed uses WMP for the music app on the 5th HTC Tab. I kinda liked that the Touch Cruise ROM version used it's own media player, but that's a minor issue I'm happy to live without.
Add cities
If you want to add cites to the weather app keep in mind that the htc home plug in that is shipped with the phone goes to a site that HTC has set up to get the weather. It does not have every city for weather. If you read previous post here you will find a link to a new HTC Home plug in that has been modified. If you upgrade to this plug in you should then be able to change your city and then Get the weather for the city you want.

Unfortunately no. The app simply isn't made to show multiple cities at once. You'll just have to switch between them as you like, at least until someone makes an app like the iPhone has. Anyone know if such an app has already been written? Would be SWEET on our Touch Cruise phones.

WinMo6.1 - Notification Error on startup

When starting my WinMo6.1 device my start screen welcomes begins wiith a Notification Error which is......
Cannot Execute \windows\myphoneruntime.exe
I have actually removed Microsoft myphone beta as i believe it was resulting in conflicts with TF3D not loading, but my phone obviously believe's its still their.......
What I need to know is how or where should I look in the registry editor to remove the line entry which is causing my device to think it needs to run a program which has been un-installed?
Thanks in advance........
First thing to check is if there is a shortcut in the \windows\startup folder, and delete it if there is.
Failing that use a registry editor with a search feature, (I use resco), and search for and delete any references to it.
Thanks for the advice. I have downloaded and installed the Resco stuff (very cool software compared to what i was using) but I still couldnt find anything. I haven't exhausted all search options yet, but I didnt think it would take much finding to be honest. Will let you know if i get this fixed

You will have to specify which registry key etc. you want to change (otherwise we cannot give you the appropriate instructions or .cab to do so..)
If you want to upgrade a T-Mobile HTC HD2, (to official or cooked rom) you will have to use HSPL.

Hey there. Welcome to the WM
about the question you asked about the program named "audio manager",
for me it looks like a resolution issue that the specific programme is designed for a VGA resolution screen (square screen) which might not be compatable for the Leo's WVGA screen (wider screen).
All you need to do is get a VGA fix or simplily wait for the devs to release a WVGA version of the app.

[Fix] Facebook in HTC Album

There is nothing wrong with eitheryour HD2 or Facebook; the problem is with a particular tweak that I find irrevocabley pernicious across my phones! It ALWAYS causes my ELF, Diamond, and HD2 to behave erratically and without adding the alleged performance boost everyone is convinced it does!
I have tried it, it caused my album to lose the ability to load Facebook photos, fixed that, recreate the problem and saw the same result, and finally fixed it again!
NOTE:Most of our tweaking apps apply this legacy em3.w tweak mindlessly to our wm6.x systems.
The fix is simple:
After you have applied all your performance tweaks, go into your registry and:
1. Navigate to \HKLM\SYSTEM\STORAGEMANAGER\FATFS
2. Change the DWORD value "CacheSize" to 0
3. Reboot
4. Launch Album, goto Facebook albums, load your favorite one, browse the pics
5. Rejoice!
Cheers

Or you just download the hotfix at the official HTC site....
Hi shirreer,
thanks a lot for this, unfortunately this seems not to be the problem I'm facing. This Reg is on 0 already.
I've been using a lot of Manila versions (currently 20142924)
But also 2011 and 2012 had the same issue.
Maybe its the FacebookSDK build in the ROMS I used so far. Dutty once issued an different one, but with this album works, but contacts doesn't any more....
Thanks although.
Oh hey, that works nicely. Guess there is such a thing as too many tweaks. Heh! Don't generally use the feature, but it's nice to have it working anyway.

I don't have a Leo, but this fix works for me on my Raphael & Rhodium: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=268518&d=1263662460
It simply creates a folder called "PINET_ROM" in the root of your device. The FacebookSDK.dll is hard-coded to look for Flash Storage there, but for some reason, the driver that's supposed to create the folder (OEM_FLASHDRV_1.DLL) doesn't mount the drive properly (or something like that). So this should get the online Album working. Also, make sure these registry keys are set so that you see the option to view FB Albums for linked contacts:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"EnableOnlineAlbum"=dword:1
"Facebook.Disable"=dword:0
(The latter value shouldn't actually be there at all)
The downside here, of course, is that the Facebook Online Album cache is going to take up quite a bit of storage on your device, but for you Leo users, I assume that's not a big deal, right?

The only way i can get it to load, is by adding the fb app to rotate i bsb tweaks and rotating the app to landscape and they show. It wont load any thumbnails though.

The Facebook app is an entirely different animal - that's an MS app. You'll have to search around to find fixes for that issue. My response relates only to the Sense online Album integration.

I don't know. That doesn't make any sense. The CAB doesn't even contain any files, so there's no reason it shouldn't install. There's also no reason you shouldn't be able to create a directory. I assume you have an HD2? Can you provide your device ROM info, Manila version, etc? The best to allow people to help is to provide all those details.

If it's not letting you create the folder, that likely means the Flash Drive is actually working, so I don't think you need this fix. Do you not get pictures when you go to Facebook Online Album?

When i go on facebook on line album... i see nothing (only the list of my friend)

The problem you're describing isn't the problem I was attempting to fix. Did you try the tweak from the first post regarding the CacheSize?
Are you sure the friend you're looking at has Facebook Album pictures? I can get to Online Album 2 different ways - either going through a link Contact's page, or selecting the Facebook Tab in HTC Album. From there, you should see a list of the linked friend's FB Albums. if you're not getting that far, then you have no way of knowing if the picture preview is working or not.
