Just when we were all getting excited about Walkman 2.0, it seems that Walkman 3.0 is now available for P1i!

I think it's probably useful to have a specific thread for this though, as there's already one for Wlk2.0. Issues specific to this mod may well be lost in the general discussion, also gives people somewhere definate to look for info.
Anyway, back OnT.
I find this works very well on the P1, but do remember to remove all the W2.0 files before intsalling, and reboot the phone after installing to be able to see the 'visualisations' properly. The keymap in the mod file is particularly useful too! |

I wanna ask something: is the playing itself any better in any way, like better and louder sound?

what would be nice in these is someone write a nice how-to install for these walkman players. |

wow - i'm lovin walkman 3! one thing that is annoying however is how much of a difference the visualisations have on how long it takes to change tracks - think i'll be switching them off unless i'm showing it off...

@ corrado
There are some guide floating around, and i think they are listed in a number of threads. But I agree it would be nice to have a sticky on the forum to make it easier.
At the moment it is just about finding one which i think i can follow because the ones i've seen so far are not written in very good English and i dont want to make a mistake with the hacking of the phone which may brick it.
Oh and as 701 has asked, does it actually offer anything except visual flare?

The installation is pretty straight forward, but if anyone needs any help, PM me and I will try and help if I can.
I agree, it may not offer an awful lot more, but it does have better functions when it comes to the music player....and I find it amusing that I paid almost half the price for my P1i compared to my friends W960, and now he has very little more to boast about on his phone.

..yeah. It's a nice app. The moods.. *shrug*. But it's neat for browsing media, and arranging the playlists. You can actually use just fingers, as well - larger pointer- areas, things of that sort. Seems smoother overall, really. Works with the keyboard- controls, or with any remote thing. And play/pause through the hang up/pick up button on the headset, too, I think. It doesn't have the "music player" bar over the today- screen, though. (I'm guessing that's one of the things launched from the today- screen plugin, so no worries about any conflicts or missing references, at least.) |

confirmed works on P1i amzingly... but i have a question : when minmizing the walkman player on the W960i the Visualisation plays in the background/standby screen but on the P1i there is no action.... can we make it done or maybe i have syh wrong with my WM 3 on the P1i.
thanx

...If someone figured out the UID for the import of standby- screen addons, and somehow managed to get that component fully onto the list of standby- screens - then sure (also would be nice if someone figured out a generic way to do that one..).
Same with the "walkman standby" line on the today- screen. I'm pretty sure that's a component- reference on the today- screen. It might(*shrug*) be possible to do some sort of hack or overwrite of some sort? (Heck if I know where to start, though. Maybe it's even written into the "music player slot" specifically on the phone, and has little to do with the walkman player.)

ok gonna have a go at this, one thing which i just need to finalize. After unlocking the private files i copy over the C folder from the walkman v3 download pack to my memory card.
Then i open xplore and do i just select the C folder's subfolder e.g. private, system, resource and shared and then dump them onto the phones memory? Doesn't this overwrite the default files on the phone?!?
Or do i have to open each folder e.g. private, then copy look through each folder e.g.
private -> 10003a3f -> import -> apps -> walkmanplayer_reg.rsc then only move the walkman player file?!?

@5nak3
It will only overwrite any files of the same name in the relavant folders, just like on a pc, and as the walkman player is not already on your phone - nothing is overwritten.
Afterward you will find the player in your tools folder, as you do with any app you install. Restart the phone to get the graphics to display correctly though, Good luck, though you shouldn't need it
To answer your question - just select the folders & copy them to c:, no need to labouriosly copy file by file As Nipsen says: "it's as easy as cake" [sic]
YAY for me!!! Post no. 500!!!!!!!!!!!!
