Stock 2.1/Nexus Music Player

Hi,
Does anyone have the APK's for the stock 2.1 Music app? I would like to replace the HTC Music app.
Cheers

Use this modded stockplayer:

Way better looking than stock.

How do you install that on a Sense based ROM, remove the HTCMusic.apk and odex, then push the new files?

the stock music player is pure class, and is the main reason i will never use a htc rom again after using a froyo rom

Froyo is still unstable. What keeps me away from vanilla ROMs is the ugliness of the general UI. Sparta ROM is IMHO the best combination (Sense UI with stock apps). Even better would be Cyanogen with Sense slickness (i don't care about launcher or widgets) but doubt that would ever happen.
BTW, did you guys try bTunes? It's iPhone's iPod rip off but works great (plus, allows you to double press heaphones button to skip songs which is a must for me).

Like i said, the only thing keeping me with froyo is the music app If we can get the stock music app onto a htc rom then all the better
HTC music app = EPIC FAIL!

You should just be able to push the apk for the stock music player onto the device I think, but I'm pretty sure you'll have to remove the HTC player first.
Will give it a go with the Music Mod one first.

Just installed the music mod update.zip and it seems to work fine alongside the HTC music app. Does seem a little slow, but still quicker than the HTC app.
Will see what it's like with BT headsets on the way home from work later.

Yes guys,
confirm this works,
deleted the htcmusic.apk and replaced it with the music app from CM 5.06
signed it and et voilla

Should I be able to remove the HTC Music apk from recovery via adb?

just rename it .bak
and push the music.apk
also rename the htcmusicwidget.apk, inspect the rom to see what files you have to rename,
or you could just do what i did and delete the files from the rom and add the music.apk from cm 5.06 and resign the rom and flash it I also flashed the nexus unlock screen as well
I have a rom already made if you want to flash it, its based on Pays bravesoul 1.9
JD

Can't be bothered re-flashing , but I can't seem to get into /system/app/ from recovery?
I can cd into system, but can't cd into app?

I would just reflash
I have just built a ROM based on PaYs 1.9 Brave Soul, with the stock music player and stock lockscreen, i also tried to get ASOP messenger working but failed;(
Take a look over at the dev section

Managed to sort it out now, there's a guide on Monaco on how to do it.
Thanks for your help though

mate can this be installed through adb?
edit: device says; failed to copy - out of memory??
(using adb remount
adb push Music.apk /system/app/MusicGoogle.apk)

Haven't tried by adb, I just downloaded the update.zip and flashed that via recovery mode. Have you tried it that way?

Live Wallpapers - How to

See here for Live Wallapers.
Not in Sense yet

As far as I can see, Live Wallpapers are not going to work until someone bakes a custom rom. The Live wallpaper picker just force closes on selection. So, unless I failed at installing the live wallpapers and the picker...

What launcher are you using? Did you try ADW or Launcher Pro? did you also load livewallpapers.apk?

I loaded livewallpapers.apk and the livewallapaerspicker.apk
I tried with Sense and sweeterhome
But I think I need to load the .SO files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837
But I have to find a different SD card because I can't get into recovery mode with my 8gb sd card.
(I left my 2gb at home)
ADW gave me the same problem.

I was able to adb remount since I pushed your clean update
But now I am getting "out of memory" when I try to push the SO files.
So I guess I will have to do the push in restore mode.

Let me know if you can figure out a way to get it running in Sense. I still haven't gotten my Aria (due to show up on Monday), but the lack of wallpapers is the one thing I was disappointed with.

Well I have live wallpapers working on my aria right now in alternate launchers like adw and launcher pro.
Pulled the files from a custom rom that adds live wallpapers for legend then rebuilt them into a rom I'm working on stripped of at&t crap. Did not replace the rosie apk since at this time tha just crashed htc.launcher.
This is a fun little phone.

Hey Bob, did you find a way to fix the non-market apps toggle in settings? I am working on a modified spare parts type deal to do that now, but if you already have a fix, I am all ears. Funny, AT&T didn't like the name Liberty. How fitting that they chose not to use it.
we really should open an IRC channel

The real question is there a way to do Live Wallpapers & Sense at the same time.
I know I am being picky, but I want my tech the way I want my tech.

There is a way since the rom i stole the stuff from was for the legend and Sense its just the version of sense that was in the rom is not compatible with our rom.
I havent even started looking into the Sense APK file yet but figure with live wallpapers working correctly i just got to figure out how to disable normal wallpapers in sense to make them work.

I havent worked at all on the market toggle, i figure since we can sideload the settings.db file and it works its very low on my care list. All i worked on today was stripping out what i didnt like and trying to make a nice clean rom that had all the default files i wanted in it (google voice, pandora, etc..). Just happened to also play with the live wallpapers and found it worked on the way home when i tried a new launcher.

If you make a zipfile of the livewallpaper files and post them, I'd appreciate it.

Yes, Please and Thank You

Yeah all the files are on my work machine so I will do that in a bit later. Will put it into a zip able to be recovered into an existing rooted aria so anyone can add them.

Update file for adding LWP to Aria
6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI
* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *
1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod
4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)
5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)
6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard
6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system
8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options
*Issues*
The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.
*Files*
Clean install of the LWP packages
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages
Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.

Thanks! I just flashed it and it works great. There's Absolutely no loss with performance with it either.

* if this file downloads under a different name just rename it to aria-lwp.zip, first time using Mediafire *
Ok lets see if this works =)
1.) Put the aria-lwp.zip file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod using the rooting methods in the how to root your aria thread
3.) Go to the Partitions Menu and select the first option (mount /system)
4.) Go back to the main menu and choose to install a zip file
5.) Choose the option to install a zip from the SD Card
6.) Click on the aria-lwp.zip file
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system.
8.) Upon reboot the home menu should pop up asking you to choose which home menu to launch. Choose the LauncherPro option.
9.) Go into the wallpaper options and choose your live wallpaper, it should work with no issues.
10.) Set up your new launcher, refer to any Launcher Pro threads for more info on this nice replacement launcher.
At anytime you can use the home switcher program to go back to the HTC Sense launcher if you want to use that instead. Same with setting up which launcher is used by default when you press the home button.
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.

Any chance we'll ever get this working in Sense?

Well, that didn't work.
I am still getting force quit
I might needs to do a clean flash.

Ok, I got stock to run, but I also want to get rid of the lockscreen and make it default as well. Any ideas?

Ok, reflashed with the clean install and it worked.

help cant install apk files anymore

plz help
I have an rooted x10a(r23) and Iv been installing apk files by transferring them to my sd card.
Iv been using Astor to install them. Also i have non market apps checked in my settings.
Today i tried to install an apk file using Astro, but it wouldn't let me. it just goes back to an blank screen and then back to the install screen.
Does any one know how to fix this?

Happened to me after I rooted my phone. But not immediately after rooting.I removed all the unnecessary apps and stopped all the third party services using startup cleaner, dunno if that did it, but I am able to install apks again.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

also the same problem x10i R23, rooted one week ago. Till yesterday it was no problem to install apk files. Since today it is not possible!

interesting. this same thing happened to me before i rooted. after i rooted i was able to install any app.

Try checking the install from unknown sources option in the settings.

This point is selected but since today it is not more possible to install apk files.
Installation only direct from the market is possible.
Maybe a bug in the root???
I replaced the rooted R23 through R2BA0024 (not rooted) and have now no problem to install apk files.

any body know how to fix this cause i dont want to ROOT again! :"(

Same problem
After rooting last night I can not install apk files from sdcard. The installer starts but after choosing install the installer just starts againg in an endlesss loop. Works fine using adb install and also from Market.
Any ideas?

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Look up apps2sd its custom for 2.2 froyo but there is a work around for earlier versions, research lots before you do anything coz you can mess your phone settings if you don't know what your doing.

Assuming you have s-off, use Titanium Backup to delete your current version, reboot your phone then install it via the market. Should do the trick.

If that doesnt work, get the .zip of the rom you have and delete the car home .apk from the system/app folder then flash it. That might work. If not, then adb will be the option.

Looking for "Files" app in one of the ROMs.

I loaded one of these ROMs and it had an amazing Files app that would allow me to go out and search my wiki Network for files on other computers. This was incredibly useful. I believe it was on fission. The problem is.... I need the Verizon Hotspot app that is Not on fission. Is there any way I could get the APk for the Files app?
Thanks in advance....
Matt

The files app you are talking about I am pretty sure is the motorola blur files app. The 3g app is also available on fission via the rom downloader along with the tether patches if you need those, so there are really 2 things you could do to get it:
If you prefer to use fission with it built in you can get the 3g app by:
1) re-install fission and the rom manager from their website
2) download and install the verizon 3g app and tether patches from the rom manager and install those
If you prefer to use another rom here is the Blur File Manager in a .zip. Just reboot recovery and install it as a .zip. No need to mount or anything as it will do that itself.
DISCLAIMER: I just pulled this file off my phone, so I have no idea if it will actually work or not (it may require missing libraries), you are downloading and using it at your own risk, but it should work.

You could also always grab a copy of some app like root explorer off the market which I think is better anyway!

EWE ROQUE!
Exactly what I needed!
