no it only takes a few minutes. Check my guide and make sure you are doing it right. (the first part only http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=153990 the rest is about menu's)

Download the latest version (the links in my guide) and try

I don't think you will have much luck, I've heard that USB flashing support doesn't work in parallels, which isn't surprising. Even VMWare on windows won't support usb flashing.

as usual right soft key and go thru permissions. otherwise i don´t know what you mean

Sorry, maybe I wasn't very clear. Is there any way to do away with the read and write messages altogether? It's really annoying having to deal with them every time a song is changed. It ruins an otherwise awesome app.

Yea, thats what i wrote.

1.Highlight KD app.
2.Right soft key (more)
3.Permissions
4.Read user data (put never ask)

Hope it helps

Keep in mind that this is possible from R1KG and newer.

Well, there's my problem. I guess I'll have to update with wontanserver then, cuz I have the latest off of SEUS and it's R1JG001. Does anyone know if the latest version on wontanserver is stable?(R6BC002)

Posted by mts
I have R6BC002 already from Seus. But for K810. Its stable

Why do you need wotan? XS++ 1.6.8 give you free firmware update.

Why don't you use latest (1.6.

version...

It should help...

09:35:18| Sending loadersdb2020_cid01_prodid_p3j.bin...

and it stays like that for ever. the paths are correct and everything. do i need to be connected to the internet to be able to do this? i dont think so. im using 3g on my k800 thats why i cant do both.

if gbrooks reckons give it a go then maybe all is not lost

thank you mts for sharing KDPlayer! it is by far a better solution than k790's stock player. with only two drawbacks for me:

-no EQ
-not programed with the phone's "Play" button. this is important to easily start/pause/restart music from inside your pockets.

Hmmm...I guess I could do that. I'm not sure where to find the new firmware though.

Posted by michekkaa
can you customize the menu on a k800i cid 52 r1kgoo1 on xs++ or will it break my phone

Posted by max_wedge
I'm on that firmware and it works for me

This will work on most SE phones now. (cid36/49/51/52)

Posted by [c3]
I tried that, i guess its the parallels issue. ill just try it when i get back

thanks

I never had much luck flashing in virtual machines.

the new version of KD Player supports 240x320 handsets and has AAC support now.

It's skinned to look and work very similar to the Walkman 2 models, so you can now install this on your K800 and using menu.ml to change the standard menu item for the built in player to this KD player - effectively giving Walkman looks and functionality to your K800.

I'll post a menu.ml and icon pack with walkman theme and kd player shortly.

Posted by rockygali
hi there max!

twas a long weekend at my end... and boi! this thread had gone way way too far...

the KD player (im just downloading it right now...) but base from the comments. im very excited to use it. and also the menu pack that comes along with these apps.

there are few things i would like to ask... well just for clarifications..
is the R6BC firmware that came from SEUS and the R6BC from wotan are the same?!

and has anyone tried altering the font types for K800?! coz the one posted was way too kewl if we ever tried putting that up on our phones....

ciao compadre!

Posted by max_wedge
Now you can have Walkman firmware on K800 (sort of)

Actually it's not the actual firmware, but it loooks like it. This menu pack includes W850 startup graphics and themes. The menu pack includes orange walkman icons.

Also in the menu are the following changes:
Menu item 1 = Video Maniac
Menu Item 2 = Opera Mini
Menu Item 6 = Walkman (KD Player 240x320 - suports AAC)

In entertainment menu, you can find the original Media Player and Video Player, also I have added Mini Commander to the entertainment menu.

The java apps (Mini Commander, Video Maniac, KD Player and OPera Mini) are all included.

KD Player supports album art, but I haven't actually tested album art yet.

Posted by max_wedge
I just tried a song with album art but it didn't display the art. I'll look into it, would be nice if it can.

Posted by rockygali
yes.. me too.. tried to play with it.. but no go.

Posted by hanugro
KD player seems not responsive for some menu. Also I find the joystick up movement is not very smooth. It is smooth outside KD player. Seems not very stable at the moment.

Posted by rockygali
well if i encountered a "non-responsive" menu this is where i guess that when you use center key on the joystick.

if this is so, then i will try to use left or right softkey depending on whats available... its not actually non-responsive.. but i can go around the program. its quite fast inside a k810.

just like to know where to download skins...

I don't find it unresponsive either. I'm very happy, it's got a few features that are very useful for eg. you can send a song to bookmarks or playlist, so you can build a playlist while browsing through your songs, auto playlists, import playlist support (haven't tried it yet).

You can minimise with *, you can also keylock (hold #), however internet and activity menu keys aren't locked - so for true keylocking you need to use * to minimise, then normal keylock.

"0" toggles between the Now Playing screen and the track listing.

Controls are the same as Walkman, with the exception of the "Play" button on the side of the phone - this activates the inbuilt player in standby, not the Java player (obviously). And I know of no way to reassign the Play button to a java app.

Skinning is cool, as soon as we work out how to do it!

The visualisation module is cool too, but not very advanced.

EDIT: on second thought that doesn't help at all.

This is the kds file inside the skins folder witin the java app. It might help us change colours atleast:

help

Posted by max_wedge
most likely you don't have the correct folders.

if it fails at FSX- make sure you have a "files_to_upload" folder.

Inside that make a tpa folder. Then inside the tpa folder make a preset folder, then inside the preset folder make a system folder, and inside the system folder make a menu folder. You will lend up with a path like this files_to_upload/tpa/preset/system/menu (within the XS++ folder)

Inside menu folder, place the menu.ml and icons files. Then try FSX again.

EDIT: just saw your post, sorry. Yep it looks like you did everything right.
Oh and buy the way, I think I misspelled the folder: it's files_to_upload (I left the frickin' L out) D'oh!

What is a good site to download free icon's?

Posted by max_wedge
right at the very start, in the first post to this thread, is a link to a thread at se-nse where lot's of icons are.

I can't believe you want to mod your menu, but won't even read the first page of this thread?

Oh thanks.

I briefly skimmed over the first page. I didn't think I'd need to read it since I've allready done menu modding on the K750i, so I thought I new about it already.

Sorry!

well that's not so bad, I thought you were some noob who just wanted everything done for them!

We get a lot of those.

@max_wedge: about the album art in KD, some of my albums show it, and some don't. All of my songs are tagged the same way (ID3v2.3) with embedded album arts. All of they show perfect in my Zen Vision: M, but some won't on KD. weird...

Posted by rockygali
tell us what are the characteristics of your album arts that shows on KD,

size maybe... file type... location... filename... if its the same as the album...

things like that.. maybe we can work it out around that area.

well that's something I suppose. Maybe like rocky says we can find a common variable...?

Posted by michekkaa
cheerz you made it work max wedge

Posted by max_wedge
Excellent, glad to help

Posted by xan K
Well, I found the way that album-arts work in KD. You need to have all your albums in its own folders, one folder for every album. Inside of the folder, save the album art image named "folder.jpg". If you don't have the images, you can go to amazon.com and search for the artist-album and save the image to your PC. Now all my album show their covers.

Posted by Xen0nflash
@max_wedge

When are you going to write that guide so that i can change the icons in the phone?

It's not a problem if you write it advanced for me.

Posted by max_wedge
hey dude, I already wrote it

I posted a link to it in this very thread.
