[Request] Froyo Music.apk-(diff)-mod to include Codecs included in Eclair Music.apk

I am hoping that someone is smart enough to figure this one out.
As some of you might know, for Froyo Music.apk, Google omitted support for certain codecs that were supported in previous versions of the .apk. Namely, for GSM 6.10 (I think that's correct) .wav support. For some unknown reason Google does not seem to be in any hurry to correct the matter either.
The reason this sucks so much is that for those of us that have home/work telephone pbx services or servers that send out voicemail attachments as these types of.wav files, we cannot listen to the voicemails on our phones within the Gmail app->Preview->Listen with Music Player. This includes Vonage, RingCentral, and many company pbx systems where the user cannot change the type of attachment that the VM gets sent out in.
You can read more about the topic and the issues here.... http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4875
There are a couple work-arounds, one being a $4 app called Remote Wave. Another solution, in the US only, is to create a YouMail account, download the app and have the VM attachments forward to YouMail's dropbox service. But, that is giving up a lot of security, IMO.
My hope is that someone can figure out how to put the code that make this work in the Eclair Music.apk into the Froyo Music.apk.
Download the attached files and try to play it on your Froyo phone and see the error you get.
Can't upload .wav files as attachments on xda so the .zip is an actual .zip file with the .wav inside. So, you have to unzip it. The .txt file is just the .wav with the extension changed. So, just change it to .wav with Astro etc.
Thanks

I second this request!

I Third !!!!!!!!!!!!

anything on this?

[Q] Where do the files i download from IE go to?

Today I downloaded a zip file which contained some songs. I downloaded them from mediafire using my HTC hd7 which worked perfectly and I could play these songs. The problem arose when I wanted to play them again but was unable to because I could not find them. I tried using file explorer and looked in the temp folder but was unable to find them. Does anyone know where I would be able to found it?

Really? We can do that?

Surprisingly yes however if u close it you won't be able to find it again

Bump anyone know?

i have a same problem but i have 2 problem like this. first one is where is going file when download from explorer and the second one is from email attached files ??

It depends on the type of file
Documents you can do a save as and make them available in the office hub
Pictures are available in the picture hub
I don't believe you can save music and videos, those are likely being stored in temporary internet cache that you don't have access to. If the zip file was in your email, you'd be able to open it again from the email attachment (potentially without having to download it again).

That's quite retarded, why would no Microsoft staff notice these simple issues. Like the copy and paste feature....shouldn't that come with the phone without the need of an update:/

Like Apple with iTunes, they want you to handle your media with the Zune software.

I can't understand why Microsoft follow Apple?
Until WM6.5 we where kings and now with WM7 we are starting to walk again like a 2year old baby.

Because everyone liked iPhone and nobody liked WM6.5

And so Microsoft think why not to lock my new 7version so people just follow me too!!!mmmmmmmmmm

In file manager, navigate to \Application Data\Volatile\EmailAttachments\Attachments(Numbers)\

Goto \Windows\profiles\guest\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
You'd find your file(s) in one of the folders with funny/coded names along with other Internet Explorer cache files.
Note that the \Windows\profiles\guest folder also contains other IE temp data (such as History and Cookies) should you also need them for whatever reason.

[Q] Renaming Files and Folders

Hi all,
Loving my Optimus 3D but can't seem to work out how to rename files and folders. I know once you have taken a photo it gives you the option to Rename, but I was wondering how I could go back and rename photos and video files, and folders from before (without connecting to my computer). Anyone know?
Also can you create folders within the phone for content? And can you organize content in the Applications section, e.g. sorting Downloads in order or placing them in different categories.
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers

To rename files and folders and create folders on your phone you'd have to have an explorer app that allows you to browse your filesystem. I'm not aware of any browser apps that don't require root (ie. Astro or Root Explorer) but then again, I've never had the need for one and always had my phones rooted.
You might wanna be carefull when renaming folders and files though.
I don't think the standard launcher allows changing the contents of the applications drawer.

Thanks for the response, appreciate it. At the risk of sounding like a total noob, what do you mean when you say having your phone rooted? I'm total new to smart phones and always just had an old simple mobile.
Also, is the Optimus 3D like the iPhone in that you need to hack it to install apps downloaded from your PC for free or can you install any apps via PC

get "estrongs file explorer". it's free and does many many many more amazing things than just letting you rename files without root requirement.

Rooting a phone basically gets you super access, kind of like having an administrator account on Windows. It comes in handy for example when you want to use custom roms, get complete file access, use screenshot tools etc.
And an Android phone is in no way an iPhone when it comes to installing apps. There's an option that when turned on allows the installation of apps you didn't get from the Market (it's in the Application section of your options menu). Presuming you only use free programs you downloaded you can just put the .apk file on your internal or external sd card and install it, either by using a file browser (such as the mentioned Estrong) to find the apk or using a separate app installer which you can download from the Market.

Awesome, thanks for the reply really appreciate it, and I actually understand it now.
So if I downloaded and installed an app or game from the internet for free, that usually had to be bought on the Android market or from Gameloft for example, could you get in trouble or banned/blocked in any way?
Sorry if this is a noob/inappropriate question
Cheers

no. google actiually lets you do what you want with your device.

Awesome, good to know. I'm really wanting the Gangstar games from gameloft but they aren't available to purchase via Gameloft yet. I can download the pirated versions and install them, but would Gameloft cause any problems when I did so or would I always have to play in airplane mode?

Most pirated software works just like the original version, just check if there's any installation instructions. The biggest disadvantage in my opinion is not being able to update pirated software through the Market.

You can use Polaris Office included in the phone as file explorer for all the naming, copying etc.. The name is a bit misleading

Nice, I didn't know that Polaris was a glorified file browser. Works great for viewing, editing and removing files and folders.
So, to the topicstarter, this is all you need to do the things you want. You can edit your filesystem and browse to your downloaded apps to install them (for example create a map called DownloadedApps, connect your phone to your pc, copy any downloaded apps to the map you created, disconnect, use Polaris to browse to the DownloadedApps map and click on any app you want to install).
If you want to rename a file or folder just long press on it and you'll be presented with all the options you need.

Yeah, I just had a play around with it, looks and works really good. Thanks for all the help folks much appreciated.
PS - If anyone could provide instructions and a link on how to install the Gangstar games (hereby showing me how to install ripped games at the same time) I would very much appreciate it. Been having no luck getting it to work

[Q] How to extract specific apps ?

Hello everyone,
I changed recently my phone from a Motoroi XT720 to a Galaxy Nexus. I am very happy with the purchase, however, since I live in Korea, there is an application I would like to get that came with the XT720 firmware.
Would you please tell me how to extract system apps ?
I tried with Astro App Manager but it doesn't show the applications I want as "installed apps". The applications I want are Dictionary (Korean-English) and Subway Map. While the latter can relatively easily be downloaded from the market, I am having trouble finding a good KR/ENG dictionary with the same ease of use of the one offered with the XT720.
For some reason, I can see it nowhere ! Not in the installed apps list in the settings, nor anywhere else..
Any ideas people ?
Thank you.

it will not be compatible with ICS 4.0 in Galaxy Nexus even if you can get it out
using Titanium Backup you can extract it

Oh well...that sucks ^^
Thank you for your answer anyway !

Assuming you have a rooted XT720, you can use Astro or ES File Explorer to extract said app (in .apk format)
Those are located in /system/app.
As for compatibility issues, AllGamer might be correct in saying that it might not be compatible, but it's worth a try.

[Q] Is there a way to mount a network Windows folder as a local folder on my phone?

Hello!
I am having a surprisingly difficult time finding anything about this that isn't from 2011 or earlier. A lot of apps on my phone will ONLY let you browse local folders (ie: /storage/emulated/0/) and that's it. I know that some file explorers let you browse your network folders but that isn't what I need. I need one of my Windows 10 folders to show up under /storage/emulated/0/whatever because a lot of apps won't let me browse on the network. Long story short, I need to map a network drive on my phone.
I am aware of things like EX File Manager and X-Plore and Root Explorer that let you browse your local network. That is not what I need though. I need to be able to have a network folder show up in the same place the contents of my phone's storage does.
I am rooted and have an unlocked bootloader on the stock ROM with ElementalX as the kernel on an OG Pixel. I am pretty good at figuring this stuff out on my own but the only results I find are from a very old app called CIFS Manager which does not work on recent phones apparently. Does anybody know any way I can accomplish this? I would greatly appreciate it!
