I updated the firmware and started modding the phone from scratch, and
now it works. Thanks a bunch!

@sigia

I had to reinstall the firmware via SE Updata manager. Then the first thing
I did was to install CapsLock and SwissManager, and then the walkman
mod. That procedure worked perfectly.

The Walkman mod is a real enhancement as it works flawless on my P1i and much faster (almost instantly) than the original one. Together with the sound level mod (the moderate one), I finally have usable MP3 player.

Hi strizlow800

I went through your superb instructions step by step.

But all I ended up with is an error message

"Application couldn't be started" each time I click on the "walkman" icon.

Any ideas?
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot.

You probably have put the files in wrong place. Try doing again but putting the files where they should be. Or a problem like yours can be caused due to installing walkman on outdated firmware. If you are using latest version of firmware, try placing the files in the right place. If not, update firmware first (using SEUS) and try the walkman mod again...

Hi strizlow800 if the instructions you gave are 100%correct, then the files are 100% in the correct place!

But I am more interested in the mention of firmware versions! I have not upgraded my firmware since I bought the device, so what version should I be running to enable this application?

Then it's the firmware 99%. I'm running walkman 3 from W960 on latest p1 firmware. Try updating the phone with SEUS. Then walkman should work... And backup everything in the phone first... SEUS deletes all the stuff...

Thanks ares
thanks strizlow800

I will have to think about that I had problems with the P1 trying to do a backup recently just crashes every time I try it (Typical !)

Problem is I have so much SW on the phone with important data I simply cannot afford to lose I really do not know if I can face a long reload! with the risk that goes with it.

Just a quick question IF I do update the P1's firmware, does the update overwrite the contents of the folders I modified? (I would assume it does) thus meaning I have to go through the whole procedure to make the phone accept unsigned applications as I did this weekend but on the new firmware.

@nitrofan:it wipes out everything.I don't advice to keep your data backed up on the phone,as in the new FW everything will become corrupt in time.You have to back up your data (calendar,address book) thru outlook and start everything else from scratch:reinstall all apps, mods,etc.That's what I will do some day (I have the same problem as you-too much stuff!).
