Hey
Is it possible to port the W960 walkman player and radio visualizations for other phones like the G900/G700? Or better still port the entire walkman player to these phones? I know the player in these phones is similar to the walkman player 3, but the one in the W960 is much more advanced with the ratings, moods and visualizations.
Hope some of the UIQ3 modders has time to port this.
regards

I'm also interested in this. Maybe the guys from smart-se could, but i can't speak or write russian, so maybe one of you guys can ask this question there.
Man i'd love those things on my G900....

I have compared G900 firmware to W960... If you need the visualizations, try adding these files to "c:\shared\kastor". I haven't tested this thing, I'm not sure if it's going to work or not.. Use it at your own risk...

If the visualizations are only the file (if don't require advanced coding) this should work...

@strizlow800
Thanks for the file....but I think its too early for me to take the risk yet. I just got my G700...and my dad will kill me if I screw up my phone or something 
But how do you know if those are the files? I mean....the W960 walkman player though is similar to the walkman player 3 on G series phones, the W960 player has got loads of other features like ratings, moods and visualizations.
I mailed swmail requesting him to port the w960 walkman player and radio visualizations to the G700/G900 or better, port the entire walkman app itself for the G series handsets as he did for the P1. I have not got a reply yet though.
I guess if more people want this ported, some modder might come forward and help us out. This is the only thing that's lacking in my phone currently  Otherwise, I just love it! 
edit: the files you gave do contain the visualization xml files and the images, but I guess we need some modder to help us out and guide us!
modders pls help!

anyway, I also work on other mods for UIQ phones (mainly customizing the phone). Anyway, I don't see a risk for your phone. If the visualizations don't work, you can only delete the files you put and that's it. It will be back to normal.
Here is a tutorial how to open the filesystem (by me):

you got it all wrong. A modder is a person, who takes the original code, and rewrites it. Like swmail... he took the w960 code, and replanted it to P1i. Maybe some day you will also be a modder. I did some camera driver modding back when i had my k810, but i'm not a modder. Raider was one a very good one. You're a "helper".
EDIT: dang.. i forgot. G900 has no "visualization" like the W960. In w960 you can select it, but here, you can't do anything. not even color. please please someone port it

Aha so I'm not wrong mate. I'm still a modder... Made my own camera driver for my old w800... But only for my needs... No offense meant...
And the thing about the G900 media center.. Didn't know that there is no option to select visualizations... :S I thought there was such option but with only 1 selection available...

@swmail
Now that you're actually read this topic, could you please help us?
It would be great if you could do this, or better, if you could port the W960 walkman player for the G700/G900. I even mailed you regarding this...please!
@strizlow800
Hey...no offense mate! Even I used to make vkp patches earlier, but I still don't consider myself a modder
Yeah...that was the reason I ddnt try and check it out...the G700/G900 media app doesn't have any option to change visualization
Hence....its back to swmail....please help!
