Do you think it will be possible to also integrate the "media menu" (the xmb) of the W960? |

From what I understand, the menus tend to be hard-coded into the firmware, so my guess is that this might be a tricky propersition, but you never know... |

Forgive such a silly question but i've been following this topic (the whole walkman 2.0 on non-walkman UIQ devices) but i'm still confused at the advantages offered?!
Anyways, i am thinking of undertaking this modification of my P1 but i just want to know what is the likelyhood of bricking the device?
From my understanding after you install the sis file on your phone and the files on your PC the program will run automatically and unlock the private folders. But between installing everything you need on your PC and installing the sis on the phone and running them is there anything which could damage the phone?
I guess accessing private folders and deleting something that wasn't meant to be deleted will result in most likely a dead phone. But how about overwriting the walkman files. Say if when overwriting something doesn't copy properly or is not overwritten correctly will this kill the phone?
Basically i just want a little risk assessment, currently the default player is fine for me, i dont see any difference except the visuals which isn't much of an issue because the phone is in its pouch or my pocket when playing music. Plus i tend to prefer LCG jukebox rather than the default player. But if i can make my phone pretty why not 
Many thanks.
Oh by the way did anyone see on ipmart someone released a walkman 3 mod for the P1 only...dont know how legit it is and i'm not testing it as i still dont have access to private folders. But do go have a peek!

 awesome... just downloaded it now - looks promising - makes sense too since the P1i and W960 are so similar... 
Will give it a try tonight

The way you say "will give it a try" i assume this means that if things go wrong i can reverse the operation, thereby making the whole modding of the walkman player a safe-ish mod?!? |

All sorted - I'm almost speechless - absolutely BRILLIANT
Hardest part was going through and deleting all the previous Walkman 2.0 files 
If you haven't already installed the first Walkman hack it will be much easier - ENJOY

well i dont even have the private folders on view yet because i am still unsure as to how safe this is and i cant afford messing up the phone right now.
What are the improvments that are gained through walkman 3.0? |

Dead P1.
Hi Guys, I tried to put Walkman on my P1 and when i restarted my phone, it never came back up again. When i turn it on, the keypad flashes and nothing happens.
The phone is still recognizable by XS++. When i tried to upgrade it by SEUS, it recognizes the phone, but update fails at it tries to install the update.
What should i do?
Please help me resurrect my phone! |

I had the same issue with the keypad flashin only. Search for the davinci team on the internet and use their flashing software. it should work. |
