Hi,
I am currently loving my Touch Pro 2 and agree with most people on this forum that it is currently the top Windows Mobile at the moment. I have found TF3D to be highly responsive and fluid but felt a little limited by the lack of customization in terms of the number of program shortcuts it supports. I previously came from the Omnia with Winterface loaded which worked well interms of the amount of shortcuts you could enter. After doing a search on here I have seen that Winterface may cause a problem with TF3D so I didn't want to risk running it.
I recently downloaded an update for Kinoma Play which used to be my primary music player on the Omnia and I have found that it is ideal as both a music player and application launcher. It must have gone through a big facelift recently as I hardly recognized the interface. It works on the same pinciple as Winterface (Iphone rip off) although it's not meant to be a today screen replacement so it works as a nice addon for TF3D. After playing around with it you can have up to 9 home screens that scroll from left to right or up and down with 15 icons on each (135 shortcuts available) as well as a seperate favourites folder.
It has a nice slick interface that currently intergrates Music, an Orb streamer (which I stream all my music over wifi), Photo viewer, Video player (poor codec support), Facebook, Twitter, Last FM, RSS, Mobihand app store and too many others to mention. I thought I would post a Youtube video so you can see how it works on the Touch pro 2 in case anyone was in the same boat as me.

Hi,
I have read and expierienced, that TF3D shows only the covers of the songs, but not of an album where you then could choose the individual songs to listen.
I have also read some comments "if you wanted iPhone style should have bought iPhone".
Well, I agree, if I wanted iPhone I would have probably bought one, but I did choose Touch HD. However, I was not aware of the limitations of the TF3D music player (yes some more research prior could have tipped me of).
Now my question. Is it absolutely technically impossible to "activate/program" some plugin that would allow "iPhonic" behaviour?
Cheers,

Might be worth having a look at S2P in the Development forum? I have the OpenGL version installed with the Hardware video drivers here and it's very good.
s2p offers an interface really close to the apple one..but in my experience, it's so slow and doesn't work fine.
It was slow on mine without the D3D video driver. After installing that it was far faster.
where did you get the D3D video driver from ?
There's a link in the first post of the Hardware drivers link above.
by any chance is there a way to replace the TF3D's music player with S2P as the default player as mine is rather screwed and I have given up on trying to figure out why the player does not read my music files and sometimes and if they do, plays the music for a few seconds and stopped ...I have gone through almost all the forum pages in related to the player for a solution but no love...
hi guys,
I am currently running Miri's wm6.5 rom and am very impressed so far, however I want to ditch manilla for the time being in favour of the new wm6.5 ui (manilla seems to hold it back in terms of some nice new visual effects that I quite like)
I am looking for a new mp3 player as wmp is rubbish! ideally I want one that is quite similar to manilla / ipod touch kinda feel with the finger friendly flicky menus if poss. I've scoured google a bit but it just seems to keep returning one called nitrogen player which I dont really like the look of.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
lancemate.
Hi ,
1. Pocket Player
2. Kinoma
3. S2P
thats all the players i know , each have strong features and some less ...
enjoy
Idandush
btw , i didnt check them on WM6.5 ...
GS player. Free, compact, and customizable. I love it.
I must admit I like Kinoma Play, but try the free version first as until the 1.56 rom release it glitched durring tracks a lot. www.kinoma.com
I u search there are lots of stuff discussed in this forum
( i use pocket music)
Kinoma Play is a resource hog, everything else slows down when I have KP in the background.
Hey guys,
Im looking for a good mp3 player, I have Nitrogen but I don't like how it doesnt organise my songs by artist or album or by title. I have all my different albums in different folders and if I wanna hear one song from one album and then another from a different album I have to go back and forth between folders... unless Im missing something with the Nitrogen player.
Also was just wondering if there are similar mp3 players that have something similar to iphones coverflo feature, just think that is a cool feature.
Any suggestions would be awesome.
Thanks
u should google for WinamPAQ
hmm looked at the winamp.but it didnt look finger friendly, is there anything else?
i spent a while looking for a good finger friendly mp3 player for my x1, the clear winner for me was "pocket player" by conduits.
thanks widebhoy, i did some more research and came across that one too, im gonna try it out.
thanks again
Yeah, Pocket Player is definitely the best music player for WM. I love it!
htc audio manager.
* finger friendly
* automatically organizes audio library (by album/artist/whatever)
* fast UI, low battery consumption
Hello
Try MortPlayer, supports MP2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and WAV, ID3- (V1.0-V2.3) and Ogg-Tag-Information, WinAmp- and MediaPlayer-Playlists (M3U, PLS, ASX, read only), A2DP / AVRCP, Configurable Fonts for Playlists... and much much more.
And for Fingerfriendly using you can download one of the many Skins or create your own Skin.
Pocket Player is good but I think MortPlayer offers more capabilities and is more powerful.
Bye

In the Conduits forums there is a thread concerning this problem. An admin claims beeing able to provide an early beta of version 4.2 which should fix the issue. He (or she) says if someone is interested one should contact him (or her) by email. The email adress is mentioned in the thread. Maybe it is worth a try?
does anybody have a free version of this pocketplayer?
in their web it only last for 30 days, and then we have to pay

That is because it's not freeware. But it is definitely worth the monney.
i think naitrogen is best
using mortplayer since i`ve got my x1. i tried all the others,but mortplayer allways finds the way back to my device... for those like me who have thousands of tracks on the card, mortplayer will give you the effectivist playlist
If you're still interested I'd recommend either S2P or iMulator. S2P has more function and design, but iMulator is faster.
You also have Nitrogen v 1.1, although it's a bit outdated.
nitrogen
www.nitrogen.wmskins.com
If you'd ask me I'd vote for mort player =)
i think S2P is best - it integrates well with S2U2, and new pay version is AWESOME, but 0.83 is still quite good and if u want to make it fingerfriendlier- all u have to do is get a different skin ( some got bigger buttons ), only downside its not as smooth as WMplayer but got nicer autoplaylist capabilities - its only one i found that lets me play all my music from Storage Card WITHOUT small game files , ringtones etc, because u can NOMINATE your MUSIC folder- that feature alone worth its weight in gold IMO
i basically have 5 MP3 players on my SEX1 - WMP, Nitrogen, S2P, plus 2 panels - OnTheRoad and MediaXP , and think that for pure feature plus stability value- nothing beats S2U2 + S2P in that combo u get - FullScreen CallerID, LockScreen, NotificationReminders, Messages Previews, AND Very Good INTEGRATED FullScreen Album Pic + Nominated Music Folder MP3/M4A/WAV/+music player plus whole lot of other things i'm prrobably forgetting , so if u r NOT using manilla ( which have most of these inbuild) i personally find thta manilla doesnt run too well on stock xperia, i think S2U2 + S2P is a must , as a matter of fact : its on my reinstall list right after SPB Software every time i hardreset , anyway- these things are different for everyone , because it all depends on what kind of rom and soft u running and what are your requirements, e.g- both mortplaer and pocketmusic bundle kept crashing on my X1, but S2P and Nitrogen - work well
hope this helps, mate
I'm running a Desire build on my HTC HD2 (and loving it so far), but I'm looking for some apps that may not exist... or at least I can't find them via the Market or Google.
I'm looking for equivalent apps to programs I use for Windows Mobile:
- Conduits Pocket Player (specifically being able to load a folder of podcasts directly w/o a library, and auto keep bookmarks where I left off. Pocket Player also has a ton of options - basically looking for a loaded Droid player. Oh, also select my location for music library & don't look in any other folder)
- Resco Photo Viewer (ditto on specifying what folder to look into, and the smoothness of having thumbnails of pix)
- Phatnotes for Outlook (haven't yet found out how to synch Notes off Outlook server)
- Phoneweaver (auto audio profile switching - saw a couple freebies on Droid, but have not tested. preferably one that shows current state (day/night/vibrate) on the bar at the top. I'm using HTC profiles, but it only has silent/off/normal, I need at least 1 more for 'night' and the automatic switching part)
- Pocketshield (more powerful lock screen replacement where I can control what is showing and different ways to unlock). I'm not impressed with the lock screen at all & haven't found any place for settings yet.
- TCPMP (play divx movies, flash movies from youtube, etc)
Pretty new to Android and I have a lot of reading to do, but am pretty suprised I didn't find say a real good music player off the bat... and no powerful picture viewer with thumbnails & the like.
I got to download some music & picture players today. None quite what I wanted, but so far:
MortPlayer - allows me to manually load up a directory of music.
Yebisu player - seems ok, need to play more.
JustPictures - I was able to scan my SD card, then manually exclude all the funky stuff it found.
rock player - plays about every single video file ( dont know if it will work on your htc hd2 though, defo worth a shot )

Just read about it in another thread. Let's see what I can throw at it:
Home Movies (converted from digital camera) .wmv format (early ones for me) - nope.
Newer Home Movies (DivX avi) - looks good
Flv looks good (I think from youtube)
619 meg rip of movie (DivX) - perfect
Looks like I just need to convert some older wmv formatted stuff. Excellent, one to cross off the list!
Funny I just saw a tweet from SBSH - Weaver is coming out on Android tonight!
Getting confused in some of the threads I asked for help on, but am using WidgetLocker for my lockscreen, and Folder Organizer to keep my shortcuts clean.
Hi,
i was wondering if anybody knows a good alternative to the default video player on the desire HD.
I'm not expecting Dolby/SRS support since no player except for the default player seems to have that but are there any that apart from showing a name can play continuously (start at a selected video and just keep going) or better yet can play continuously wile shuffling through the available video's?
i have about 140 music video's on my desire HD and it's just annoying to have to select the next one every time and well... no shuffle.
real player seemed promising since u can just jump to the next video manually before the one your watching ends but that feature doesn't seem to work... at least not yet.
i did check google first but all i got was topic's from 2008...
-anubis
I have tried several to date and have found them all to be disappointing to be frank. They may or may not remember the position in the video you are watching or they distort the screen or they have a clunky interface.
I've been using Rock player for the last few days and it is guilty of all three listed above.
I would be interested to hear of something that delivers:
Video position memory
Multiple format support
Sensible zoom/re-size modes
Sleek interface
I have bneen using vplayer and it seems quite nice, can't comment on the issued mentioned above but I shall do some research and get back to you.
I'm using vplayer beta 4, changed to pay version after this and only time limited trial for b5 forwards. Works great plays all formats resizes well to screen and saves location when file stopped. Had much more consistent results than with rockplayer and streams fine with quick seeking from twonky media server without needing to transcode.
i tried vplayer,
i loved the gesture's for the player, but was not to fond of the file browser and it cant play next video
but i also found mvideo player,
which has a excellent browser (just looks a bit more... modern) has good gesture's (still kind of prefer vplayer's) but can play the next video after the current one ends
not perfect but a lot better then the default.. apart from the no dolby (it makes a HUGE difference on my in-ear headphone's) but the pro's outweigh the con's so it's my new video player until the default one is worth a damn.
ow and it also has excellent scaling.
