Can anyone tell me how to make HTC Album use Coreplayer instead of WMP when viewing videos? I assume it's a reg edit, but I can't find it. If this is already somewhere in the forum, I apologize, but I have run clean out of search terms to try. Thanks in advance.
With a reg editor
HLM > Software > HTC > Biotouch > MediaHubMini
You can edit shortcuts etc ...
please delete more relevant answer given
i dont have core player installed on my device. i did a quick search in a couple of sites. the only thing i found is the following:
"
To make Coreplayer your default player for video (and/or audio):
Open Coreplayer>menu>Tools>preferences
Click "select page", then tick the video and/or audio and image files you wish to make it the default viewer of."
this isn't a permanent solution, but guess it might be useful until u find the relevant registry entry
Thanks for the responses, guys. Unfortunately, I had already changed all the file associations (as Jackster suggested) and that didn't work. Also, I have already tweaked the registry under
HKLM > Software > HTC > Biotouch > MediaHubMini
However, I'm not trying to open Coreplayer when I click on "Videos" in the cube - I still want to use HTC Album there. Rather, I want Coreplayer to play the video when I make a selection from within HTC Album instead of WMP.
I looked over the reg entries in
HKLM > Software > HTC > HTCAlbum
and found 'default_viewer'. I changed the value from 0 to 1 to see what would happen, but it had no effect. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Sorry it didn't work,
I also checked the reg entries and thought maybe changing the value of the default viewer would do, but apparently it doesn't.

I assume that after making the change you will have to softReset because TouchFlo is already in memory and will not read registry values each time an action is required, so this is the way to refresh and make him using the new settings.

If you are referring to my attempt to change the default_viewer value from 0 to 1, I actually did soft reset after that to see if anything would change, but it didn't.
I'm not saying that there isn't a value that would work under that reg entry, I'm just saying that I don't know what it should be. I just know that changing it from 0 to 1 has no effect. Thanks for your responses!
try soft reset by using any therd party software, like psShutXP, instead of reset hole.

Hello,
I'm also looking for a way to launch TCPMP instead of WMP from the HTC (video) Album. I already tried these changes (regedit)... but still no change (except an error message when clicking the "video" button on the cube : TCPMP is loaded directly, without launching the HTC Album video and the error box : "File not found! -mode:camera -type:video").
Sorry for re-launch this post, but seems to be the only one (recent) dedicated to this issue.
Did any "Touch settings" worked properly with TCPMP / HTC Album (video) ?
If yes, is it the only way to launch TCPMP properly from the HTC Album ?
Thanks for your help
[EDIT] : I just tried the "Touch Settings" software, but nothing better... TCPMP is loaded directly with the same error message

Does anyone know how to make Media Player's Media Library default to the storage card rather than 'My Device'? I had it working and I am pretty sure I changed a registry setting to do it but I did a hard reset yesterday and cant find the setting anymore. It's driving me nuts, I know it should be there somewhere but its not!
Could someone have a look in their registry under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer
And see if there is a setting somewhere called 'defaultLocation' or something like that. I remember I changed it from a 0 to a 1 to get it to default to the Card.
Cheers.
So, has nobody got a registry editor installed then? Anybody?
I have nothing of the sort in my registry. Sorry!
Cheers for the reply!
Anyone else had a look?
It was definitely there before I did a hard reset. I've got a UK T-Mobile MDA Compact and before the hard reset it had the standard setup. After the reset I cancelled all the ext-rom stuff. Dont know if this helps anyone at all...
Found it!!!
For those that are interested, if you want the media player library to default to the Storage Card change the following registry setting from a 0 to a 1:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences\LastLibraryIndex

Great, I didn't have the key on mine but added it and worked well, now i don't have to go through that lousy step anymore!
Reg Hack for Media Library Location
I tried the suggested registry change on my HTC P3600 (WM6) but it didn't work - still default library rather than the storage card any ideas? Have i done it right has anyone got this to work with WM6/WMP10????
for reddall and others, who wud wana do it properly...
if you dont see the key LastLibraryIndex jus create it in the said path
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences
most importantly the value type shud be REG_DWORD and value 1 in decimal
voila! ur wmp will open in storage card or ur last used location
Omnia
Just got an Omnia, and interestingly it is defaulted to My Storage with that regkey, however as I want to use my MicroSD for music etc, set the value to 2
Hi,
I'm sure there is somebody here that can help me. I've set up my SPV M5000 with some old programs, and they certainly messed up with the registry about file associations.
I can display jpg normaly, but if I try to see a jpg file (ie not embeded into a web page), I get the file save dialog. At first, it was registered to pimg.exe, and I tryed associating to to pocket painter for example, with no luck.
Anybody know the key to place to go back to a normal jpg displaying state for pocket ie?
TIA
I've the same problem.
Mine is the same but I've installed nothing that would affect the file associations...
I think perhaps it's just another of the joyful 'features' of Microsoft's wonderful Pocket Internet Explorer
Does it do the same with a gif or bmp?
V
That's exactly what I had on mine. I didn't get to the bottom of it, but instead did what vijay suggested and created a local html file with the jpg embedded. All I needed was to view a single jpg within PIE (from my webcam). This works fine, but is a workaround only for 1 jpg. I wouldn't want to do this for everything!
Surely one of the File Explorer tools can change the file associations?
I think the problem lies within PIE, when you click a pic it assumes its an attachment and so will save it,
I cant try atm but its worth trying to goto a pic directly ie,
http://www.website.com/picture.jpg
it may well display the image then, not sure, cant test atm. and its not going to be very useful when doing some normal browsing.
Same with Gif. I've teste on a K-Jam, and it display the picture properly in ie. I'm sure there is something messed up in registry
Found the solution
There is a CLSID value missing in HKCR/MIME/Database/Content Type/image/jpg and other gif and jpeg
Add a string value CLSID
{698E3FCA-70C3-11D0-81E8-00A0C90AD21A} and you are set.
@thaihugo
Won't work for me.
I've tried with PHM RegEdit but same behaviour as before.
Can you give us a screen shot of the correct registry key, please?
BTW:
There is another string "Image Filter CLSID" and
there is a "Bits"-key in /gif and /bmp and /jpeg but not in /jpg.
Are these needed too?
OK now it works.
What i've done is:
Created and copied the CLSID mentioned above into
image/bmp
image/gif
image/jpeg
image/jpg
image/pjeg
Copy the "Bits" from /jpeg to /jpg
Created a "Image Filter CLSID" in /jpg with the same content as found in /jpeg
Save, wait and Softreset. -> Works as intended!
I don´t know if i've done to much, but everything works now.
I'm happy. Thank you!
I though it was my programs that would delete this keys, but it seems you need to insert them also. Maybe it is a full system bug? A registry export might be of some help if some other report the same problem.
This still isn't quite working for me...
Can someone explain again EXACTLY what I have to do?
Hmm - interesting stuff - will have to try this.
I assume this isn't going to affect other JPG viewers, eg Opera???
I have the same problem on both Hima and Universal WM2006
Himalaya > TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6 AKU.0.7.0
Universal > Jwrightmcps 9000_WWE_21200_21207_11500
The registry solution proposed doesn't work for me, probably due a different CSLID. Any suggestion?
THX
Many thanks to CouchPotato
@CouchPotato
Thank youuuu, your step by step solution worked fine for me on BA (WM6)

I am having problems viewing jpg files. i can only view them through the camera album. i cant just click on a picture to view it. i have to open pictures and videos and then go through all my pictures to find the one i want to view. it use to work and now it doesn't. when i select a picture i get the message "There is no application associated with "name of file." Run the application first then open this file from within the application." I have soft reset the phone 3 times and nothing has changed. i don't know what changed on the phone i haven't done anything but install a couple of games. does anyone have a clue or can point me in the right direction. i dont feel like wiping the phone and starting fresh again.
Open your file explorer and see if you can open "pimg.exe" in the Windows folder.
I can do that and it opens. I cant say go to my storage card with file explorer go into my pics and then just click on a pic to view it. thats when i get the message. i have to open up pictures and videos and the search thru them to find the one i want to view it. i was able to do that a few days ago and now i cant. the only thing i can think of that might have made a change was system mechanic and i did run that recently.
If you changed the default app for it, it may have caused a problem. There are 1 or 2 apps I know of that can change associated apps. Schap's adv config will do that. If that doesn't fix it, try the trial of resco explorer. It has an "open with" dialogue that allows you to set default apps. I'm not sure if it would stick after deletion though. I forget the name of the other app designed to change default apps, I used to use it in the PPC kitchen.
If nothing fixes, do a hard reset.

Its getting me closer to the answers i need.

Hi! I just checked out HD2's Remote Desktop client and it works perfectly on my Win7 box. Actually, it's the best mobile remote desktop client I've ever used!
There is only one minor flaw; is there no landscape mode, or am I just not seeing the option?
Give Gyrator a try. You can set which apps to allow auto-rotate or not.

Thanks for the tip. Although I Google'd a little and read that it doesn't work very well with the HD2.
Shouldn't this be as simple as a small registry tweak? I'm sure there is a value somewhere in the registry that makes Remote Desktop Mobile start in landscape mode.

I'm not certain why you are "sure there is a value somewhere in the registry that makes Remote Desktop [...]" because I know there IS NO such reg-value to make your app start in one orientation or another .
However, there is a registry entry to make it respond to orientation changes as perceived by the G-Sensor, then you can simply turn your device to sideways to switch your program between portrait/landscape/etc...
The easiest way is to use G-Config. The full manual procedure is to make new entries for your program as follows:
1. Navigate to reg key: "HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Module"
2. Create a new string reg-value with name of program, and its path for the value.
3. Navigate to reg key: "HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList"
4. Create a new string reg-value with the name of program, and its class name for the value.
5. RESET your device (turn off then on).
Hope this helps,
Cheers...

How do you use G-Config with a HD2? I thought it needed a stylus to recognize new applications.

My dear friend, there are SO many apps that do automatic orientation: the most versatile, easiest, and customizable is Change Screen. Get it off of the diamond/raphael forums. Otherwise look for:
Zensor2 (easier), Gsens(lighest), or gyrator (heaviest).

What is its class name? I see its a different value for each program. When I want to add a new app, is there anyway I can find out for myself what its class name is?
Hi
download app "Change Screen 2.78".
once you install it set default rottation as portrait.it is important cos you don't want any other apps to rottate.(if you do want others,just set the exeptions)
Then go to exeptions and and create new with name "wpctsc" and set it only for landscape.now every time you start Remote Desktop it will be opened only in landscape mode.i use this app since i had my old Touch Pro and now i am using it on LEO and it always 100% worked for me.tried more of them but this one is far the best.
adding some pictures for you to help with settings.
hope that this will help you a bit.
Well, if anybody still needs it...
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
"Remote Desktop Mobile"="\\Windows\\wpctsc.exe"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
"Remote Desktop Mobile"="TSSHELLWND"
how do i find out class names for other programs?
Until we get another solution like Gyrator's neat stylus-out/stylus-in, you can check on the net or use a task manager. I personally use Dotfred's task manager, which shows window classes opened by a program (Applications tab/long tap on applications/Details button/Windows tab).
Now you need to find the right one (Usually the one with the window title, but not necessarily), and type it away.
Real quick example attached.

Hi,
I'm trying to make work the function "Show Home on map" from the contact card but without success. After a lot a research : nothing. When i click on the "show on map" button, come an error showing "the file 'TelmapNav' cannont be opened....". I can't find this file nor the directory it should be.
Has anyone the same problem and eventually the solution.
SmAKy
The rom is the stock 1.48 (same things happened with 1.61).
SOLVED :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"PeopleMapVendor"=dword:00000002 ==> Orange Map
"PeopleMapVendor"=dword:00000001 ==> Google Map
Just tried L26 custom roms (v2.1) and the problem is still there...
It's probably assuming CoPilot has been installed. Have you got CoPilot installed? Same problem when you use Footprints and try to go to the location of the footprint.
I guess it's a way of cajoling you into abandoning Tomtom and buying CoPilot. Looks like HTC have a deal going on with CoPilot's makers.
Mine works fine and puts me on google maps...have you removed or disabled google maps?
Google is activated and work with Digital compass and with Footprint not with "Show home on map".
Copilot is not installed at all, I will give it a try...but don't want to use it...
EDIT : just installed Copilot 8 live, and nothing changed, still the same error ...
I get google maps too - works fine for me.
argggggg.....
Can't even find in which directory the TelmapNav.exe should be (would try to fake it with another exe but can't without this information).

That exe isn't on my phone either. You must have installed something that (for whatever reason) modified how the contact-to-map link works, and that's caused the problem. Have you ever installed any other map software? Telmap Navigator, for example?
Telmap navigator isn't installed, I'v tried to install it on both devide and storage card and nothing, maybe the problem come form the manila mod i'v installed (BG4all and 20 shortcuts). I will try to find information in those new manila files...
I'm with Orange and they preinstalled telmapnav. So, on my phone contact to map also launches Telmapnav, a bit like Smaky07, just that in my case it does find the .exe. But I don't want to use this piece of crap! I want it to work with TomTom or Google maps.
I searched my registry and found some keys with telmapnav in various values, but they all seemed to be Orange specific and not contact related. So, if anyone knows how the contact application is associated with a navigation app, that would be great!
pat12 could you provide telmap installation directory, just to know if I'm able to fake sense to launch something when choosing show home on map.
Ok i've find some things. I bet this is related to orange stk auto customisation (or something like that). The TelmapNav.exe must be \Programes Files\Maps\TelmapNav.exe. I'v installed OrangeMaps and "Show Home on map" open the orange navigator.
On mine, I have it at two different locations: same as yours (\program files\...) plus in the \windows folder. I agree with you that the one used by contact is in program files especially as there is a dll that seems aptly named ContactsPlugin.dll...
Anyway, I just found out that if I use the Windows contact application (in the Outlook folder) I do have a Google Maps localisation item in the menu!
Which by the way you can also get using the HTC Contact application.
Select a contact, on the screen you will have the map icon that will use the telmapnav app but click menu -> add and display more information -> again menu -> scroll to the bottom and... Google maps!
If i rename my GoogleMaps folder to Maps and rename the exe from GoogleMaps.exe to TelmapNav.exe, "show home on map" open GoogleMaps but no information is passed and only MyLocation is shown.. Have to find how data location are passed to appli...
could someone for whom it's working seach his registry and tell us all the entries for googlemaps that seem relevant to our problem?
I think a DLL is responsible for this behavior, but I can't find which one.
I've re flashed my phone with new WWE rom and same things happened, there must be a process which customize the phone with orange "flavor"... but what process?????
SOLVED....
I have finally solved this issue.
The configuration for software launched on click on "Show home on map" is handle by a REG key :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"PeopleMapVendor"=dword:00000002 => TelmapNav (Orange Map)
"PeopleMapVendor"=dword:00000001 => Google Map
I guess the default value was 1 but after each reflash, I have a script that restore some reg bakcup value and that was the problem for me.
