...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!!!!!!!!!!!!

..Try opening the archive (the zip) in x-plore, and select the directories you were going to copy instead (the sys, etc.). And then select c: (on the root) as target. That'll extract the files to the right directories, easy and quickly.

And you're not supposed to overwrite anything. Just to drop the files in the right directories, and create a few new ones. (And of it should be possible to remove afterwards, file by file, and nothing should break from that. Basically, it's just a new app that shows up in the "tools" folder).
(edit: just to be completely on the safe side here - the files you add, if you copy the sys- folder, will be contained inside that target- folder on c:. Don't start removing the sys- folder afterwards - just the files you just installed inside that folder, if you want to uninstall it in the future. And, if you use the internal file- browser, it will complain if you copy something to somewhere else that has the same directory- name. And you will replace files in that folder if they have the same names, when you click "yes". But in this case, no files should be overwritten.)

..but it's not impossible to brick the phone by messing around like this, so be careful. Mostly you'd just be corrupting an install by deleting things at random. But some of the resources have to exist, be in the right formats and sizes to get the phone to complete the boot (i.e., the walkman screens - that are not installed with the w3 pack, btw - could actually brick the phone if they're not the way they should be).. so do one thing at a time, and so on.

@AD, Nipsen

Thanks for the replies, i actually went ahead with the mod before you posted, i thought to myself that i've messed around with file systems / hacks on other products before so i figured i give it a go and whatever happens.

In any case all went well I now have the walkman 3 player on my phone. Actually i tested out the movement of files by duplicating a word document within the media files, and tried to overwrite it, xplore was very nice and prompted if i wanted to continue.

I figured this is how it works so i moved the private folder once i saw nothing was being prompted the rest of the files followed. Rebooting my phone was a bit heart in mouth, but i saw the loading bar and i was happy

A couple of questions:

The current theme for the walkman is nice, but can we create upload our own to the WM3? I know WM2 allowed this, but what about WM3

Also, i figured out that there must be a key mapping file for the walkman, are we allowed to change and edit the file to our liking?

Just thought of another question, i used the apptrk.sis method rather than capsswitch which is also available. I assume after the reboot i don't need to worry about my private files being on veiw eh? Because as i understand it apptrk is switched off after reboot.

Oh and for anyone who may read this:

Currently running walkman 3 on an O2 UK branded device with the following firmware:

Phone: R9j005
Organiser: R6F41

And no slowdown to annoy me actually. Seems alright.

Thank you all for your paitence with me, congrats on the 500 AD

hey all, i was wondering if anyone knows how to load up artwork into the player. None of my files are showing the artwork, well actaully a couple of them are but i have no idea how that happened.

One was an iTunes files which was bluetoothed to the phone, the other is a CD rip of mine. But no other file is showing the artwork, despite the artwork loading up in windows media player, itunes, and mp3tagger.

Unlike the standard media player on P1i, W960's Walkman player reads album art data from MP3 IDTag, so you must enbed your MP3 with album art graphic.
