(Prevention?) ROM newer than AKU3.5 WMP play 3 to 4 seconds problem

[CWKJ]

Hope my little input could help to prevent it from playing just only 3 to 4 seconds.

I am using Helmi AKU3.5 v1.3 now, but from all the threads, it seems to be a common problem in many versions of the ROM.

For my situation, normally immediately after soft reset, WMP plays with no problem.

There is a little Apps inside Helmi AKU3.5 v1.3 called "Close Apps". This problem will come 100% after I run "Close Apps" to regain memory.

To prevent it and to avoid recovery reset, I will only run 'Close Apps" with WMP still runnning.

My guess is "Close Apps" clear something important for WMP.

Let us know if there is another way to reproduce the problem.

hey!!

i don't know bout this problem but i had a similar problem with the " close app" application in the 3.3 rom

when i tried to run ie after running this app it would automatically close after loading the page (not the homepage).

P.S Since you have crossbow installed could u do me a favour??? i wanted to see how a couple of themes i have made look in crossbow...if i send you one of them could you send me the screenshot???

Hi guys.

Actually I do not use WMP almost at all because I prefer other players, so I never experienced this problem but....

I suggest you to use oxios hibernate instead of closeapps. Hibernate does not close any running apps but releases ram which can be still occupied after a closed app. Besides hibernate I often check the hidden processes with iTaskmanager (part of Helmi's ROMs but you can get it separately) and often found that there are some processes useless at the moment e.g. voicecmd.exe (can eat 2 megs) poutlook, tmail, etc.

I guess if you use hibernate you will avoid 3 sec problem of WMP... not 100% sure...

My is AKU3.5, not crossbow.

The crossbow theme does not look too good, as I do not like dirty green colour, reminds me of the army uniform.

There is quite a couple of screen shots already in this forum, just search and you see plenty.

To have crossbow look, you do not need to install crossbow, search again it this forum, you will find some crossbow *.tsk files. copy it into the \windows directory and you can select it in the Today.

Thanks, I will try.

But 'close app' way to produce this problem may not be the only way.

Looks like I do not see this problem after using Hibernate.

I use the HTC Task Manager provided in Jwrights 2.06/08 Crossbow ROM and it works really well... I have seen posts about this problem and it does seem to be the ''close app" that causes the issue.
