Add improved support for .WAV files (Homebrew) 5
Welcome to "Homebrew Week" for PreCentral's Tip of the day. We will be focusing on some simple Homebrew apps, patches or hacks that will help you add some key functionality to your phone. No advanced knowledge is necessary, as long as you know how to use webOS Quick Install and Preware.
If you have a voicemail system that emails you a audio copy of your voicemail message, you probably get the message as a WAV or MP3 file. While any MP3 file will play just fine, webOS seems to have limited support for WAV files. Luckily, developer Zsoc from WebOS Internals created an audio plugin to add additional support for WAV files. Simply install the "GSM WAV Codec" plugin from Preware (under: Available Other - Plugins - Audio Plugins) and you will be able to listen to your WAV files all you want!

SFR webOS 2.0 have visual voicemail, wonder if this is baked into HP webOS 2.0
I have been using his CODEC for a while now and I can confirm that it works with most VoIP providers. I have all my VM messages from Broadview, Sprint, and Google coming to the YouView app and it works great! This CODEC helped make that integration possible.
i can get my voicemail emailed to me?
HP really needs to fix this problem going forward. I've not been able to listen to my office "voicemail-in-email" all this time. There's no reason for this shortcoming, and I assume other smartphones can do this. I don't use "preware", and shouldn't have to for this.
hey guys - great idea and thanks for the effort.
Question: do you think it would be similarly possible to add video support for files like avi etc...
I'd pay for that one...
oh, and pls make sure it runs on pix+. i'll never figure out why we are treated like palm's red headed step children.
