[ENQ]HD2 VS Ipod - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

While driving I use my HD2 to listen to all my mp3 through my Belkin fm transmitter and i have to admit that i am pretty happy with the whole set up with COREPLAYER
However one thing is really bugging me,when it comes to the scrolling wheel the Ipod is excelent, while the core player you have to actually put your finger on the dot and move the cursor forward and i dont really find that convenient when i am driving.
My question is: any other players that is compatible with HD2 and has a sysytem like scrolling wheel like the Ipod?

Try to map the volume control buttons in CorePlayer to fast forward and rewind.

thats sounds intresting but where would i start ( I am really new to this world of HD2) Can anyone guide us?

I use pocketmusic and map the volume keys as fast forward and rewind. works like a charm.

i have managed to map the volume button and it works perfectly (thanks for the tip)
However the volume buttons got disabled in the process when not using corelplayer for example in sense volume buttons are not working

pocketmusic does not have that problem, as the mapped keys can be set to be controlled by pocketmusic even when pocketmusic is running in background.

i had pocket music insalled but recently i have tries coreplayerand i have to admit that i liked it more...hope someone will tune in to clarify the problem

Are you closing down Coreplayer properly when you finish using it? Use taskmanager to check if it is still running in the background. This could explain why functionality does not return to the volume rockers.

Mortplayer's relative volume doesn't work correctly

Hi,
I had a Qtek S100 and I always used GSplayer as my mp3 player. Now I own a Touch, and since the touch has far less hardware buttons I switched to Mortplayer. Mainly because of the volume slider which you should be able to use to control the volume of the player instead of the system volume.
Now, this doesn't work. if I use the volume slider, the volume of the player moves 1 bit, and right after that the systems volume slider comes over the top and takes over.
Furthermore, I can't assign the camera button. When I assign it to toggle the screen on/off, it just opens the Camera.
Does someone know how I can make this work? And how do you guys use your Touch as a mp3 player?

HD2, Volume, Coreplayer, etc...

Hi,
One thing that annoys me on the HD2 is the volume screen.
Is it possible to have the volume icrease/decrease only as on overlay?
With Coreplayer increasing/decreasing the volume (from landscape mode) pause the video. I'd like to be able to increasedecrease the volume without ausing anytg and going thrugh that HTC volume screen thingy.
Doable?
Thanks

same problem here, i hate pausimg the video play to ajust the volume. on the diamnd was simple up down for volume of coreplayer but the hd2, no dpad not even a trackball like on android phones
You can use the shortcuts function in coreplayer.
In CorePlayer go to Tools / Shortcuts.
Someone just posted a solution. I tried and it works almost perfect. Almost because the volume bar does not rotate to landscape view. But that's alright ^^

(Q) Music player hardbutton control

hello,
i just wanted to ask, if there was a program that would re assign the hardware buttons (or just one) to make the music player pause while the screen lock is on? i get quite annoyed when walking around, or into market, listening to music, and then when i have to pay, i have pull my hd2 out, unlick the screen, scroll over the music app, and then hit pause... lock the screen again, and put it back in my pocket... just to do the same thing again as soon as im done paying.
i could take my headphones off (earbuds) but that is getting annoying really quickly too. i just thought if one you reassign the home button. or the call send button to play/pause the music player... and/or the others to skip tracks, without unlocking the screen. (similair to the volume rocker)
and, i once saw (or think i did) an app that would make the volume changing less dramatic, so it wasnt such a huge difference between one click up and one down... like 1db or something (or one bar i dunno)... because i would like to find a nice volume in the middle, but an stuck with: none, low, medium, or high.
any help woudl be greatly appreciated.
sorry if its the wrong section.
thanks!
yeah great idea!

Bluetooth headsets with Rewind/FFW

I have a Motorola S305 and I'm using Mortplayer to listen to audiobooks/podcasts.
In the menu options, you can set the Rewind/FFW/Stop buttons on the headset to control the podcast.
But no matter what button I assign to Rewind, it just doesn't work. What is the deal?
I can set all three buttons to FFW and all three work fine.
But it seems there's something wrong with Rewind. Setting any of the three buttons to Rewind in the app means that the button basically dies and is unresponsive (until I set it to do something else).
This worked fine on my Nexus One, so it's not the headphones (especially since all 3 buttons work fine when used for other functions).
Admittedly, it was with an older version of Mortplayer, so perhaps this is a bug with the newest version?
Has anyone else run into this issue with the Sensation?

[REQ] Use volume rocker to skip songs?

Hello all. I was perusing the nexus s and nexus s 4g forums and was interested when I came upon their oxygen rom. It offers the ability to skip songs with the volume rocker. Is anyone willing to try and get this working for gummy? I am willing to donate to anyone willing to try. It would also be cool if we could get music controls on the lock screen. Thanks to all the hard working devs and themers.
The first one would be possible for one of the devs to do. The second would require a whole new lockscreen & lots of coding, plus all of the themes would have to be updated with the new stuff.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Agile Lock + PowerAMP = music controls on the lockscreen. They just updated Agile so you can now disable your lockscreen without disabling your power button menu but it's a little glitchy, the dev does promise to release a new version every week as he is still trying to fix it up.
Also, why would you want the volume rocker to skip songs? I would prefer the volume rocker to control volume and use the search/back keys to skip through songs, just me though.

On the Droid 1 roms I used that had volume button music controls you had to hold the volume key to skip but a single press would still adjust volume. Both functions were available with the same buttons.

That's pretty cool, hope it can be done! I usually have PowerAMP set to shuffle my 100+ song playlist and sometimes I get to that song I'm just not in the mood to hear and it would be nice to skip it with a simple hold of the power button.

Yutz-exactly what I'm hoping somebody will look into. Blarrick-I have over 2000 songs I shuffle through. I need a quick way to skip.

It's my understanding that this is a function of ASOP ROMs. Seeing as none have been released yet, I don't think that this is an available option yet.

Thank you for your response. Will the charge ever get a pure ASOP rom?
There is development happening now. No ETA on releases (there never is), but it may be a while.
I realize this might not be exactly what you are looking for, but PlayerPro can partially do what you want.
It can change the volume up and down to be used to skip songs. However, that will be their only function when it is playing, as they will no longer be able to adjust volume.
Also, while it can't put music controls on an existing lockscreen, it has its own that can be configured with AOSP like sliders. It will show album art and play/next/prev controls on its lockscreen.
