Problems with fascinate music player - Epic 4G General

I flashed the signed_music.zip using clockwork. It loads and plays music fine but if I go into astro and select an mp3 I'm getting file type mp3 no found. Any ideas?

Why dont you just install it from astro instead of flashing it

Use Root Explorer and just copy it to /system/app folder then reboot,or just install it regular with Astro or other file manager.One of these methods will work.

Where did you find a zip for the music player?

Would like to know this as well. If you can provide a link that would be great.

I think his question is about picking an MP3 from the explorer, not trying to install the player.
Chances are that the Fascinate player is named MusicPlayer.apk. If you rename it Music.apk, like the original player was named, it might work. However, I believe that will break your Disc View.

Illogic is right, I'm having problems with file explorer/astro programs registering the mp3 file extension to fascinate muic player. As far as the other questions its not an apk file. When I get to a computer ill post the link for the zip, it came from the rom section from one of the rom builds. Oh and illogic, disk view never worked for me, any ideas? Thanks guys

I guess pushing the fascinate player APK isn't enough to associate MP3s with it. I hope later versions of Android will allow you to "Open with..." like you can in Windows.
I fixed disc view a week or so ago and, as far as I know, my ROM is the only one with it working currently. I don't mind sharing my seven herbs and spices though. Go through my thread and you'll find a .so file I uploaded, push that to /system/lib/ and make sure the Music player apk is actually named MusicPlayer.apk. If it's named Music.apk like it was the last time I checked Epic Experience, it will not work even with the lib.

I was looking at the galaxy tab section and saw a thread regarding useragents. As many of you know the old about:debug trick doesn't work on the latest 2.2 roms. Well some listed that about:useragent worked on his tab. So I got curious and tried it and guess what? It works!! A popup comes up when you type it that lets you choose between a whole hunch of useragents. Try it for yourself,

You may have to use it with the hacked version of flash from the nexus forums to get it to work with hulu. I'll try to confirm when I get a chance.

Confirmed this totally works with Hulu. What you need to do is uninstall flash player that you get from the marked with root explorer or whatever method you use and then install the flash_fixed from the link below and then set the useragent to desktop and it'll work.

I am getting Hulu required flash player 10.0.32 or higher. How did you get pass this screen? I know the flash from market is 10.1.1+ so I am not sure why it isn't working.
I downloaded the Fixed Flash from the thread you linked and it said it was updated to the lastest version from market as well. hmmm.

I renamed the file to install_flash_player.apk and copied it to my sd card, then using root explorer I uninstalled the existing file from /system/app and copied the renamed .apk over and installed it in /system/app. Then I opened a browser window and just did the about:useragent trick, then went to hulu.com and clicked on the first video. It took about 30 seconds to load over 3g, but it started playing the video. Like they said in the previous posts, it doesn't stick, so you're probably going to have to do it every time you want to go to a site that normally blocks mobile useragents, but it does work.

That's exactly what I did. I even rebooted after uninstalling install_flash_player.apk and moving the new fixed_flash.apk (renamed to install_flash_player.apk). I then applied the desktop useragent and to my dismay it told me that I needed flash above 10.0.32.
Yeap,, watching hulu as I type... little lag though

The only other way I've gotten it to work in the past was by adding it to the zip file of the rom I'm using and reflashing - open the bionix/macnut (or whatever zip file), delete the install_flash_player.apk file, then copy the hacked .apk that's been renamed install_flash_player.apk to the zip and flash. Now that I think about it though, I did have some trouble doing this on the bionix 2.2 rom before the flash update, and I've been running macnut R10 for the past few days so it may depend on what rom you're on.

Gallery Problems

The picture folders take forever to load when I open gallery, does anyone else get this? seems slow creating previews of the pictures
i have the same issue
I went back to di18 and that problem was no more
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
only remedy I found was back out of the gallery, and re-enter it. It loads normal speed then
I had success a while back deleting all of my thumbnails, early on, in fixing this problem. (Thumbnails are regenerated upon launching after this). Id also check that u have the latest version of the galley that we're using. Check out the development section, and most of the roms there have that version that I haven't had probs with. I don't know what you're running (dk28.. cw3 ext4..?) If so, I'm usng the version in the Truly Epic rom, and also have used Quantum rom's.
Btw, I have a TON of image files on my sd. If you have certain directories that u don't want to appear in the gallery, u can manage them with a .nomedia file. Ask if u have questions about it.

Exactly delete your android folder on the root of your sd card. It still re generate on the next boot and your gallery will be fixed.

I use a alternative picture app, "QuickPic", it's so much faster then the stock gallery app.
Thanks for the tip guys, that fixed my problem

Just rename the folder to x.nomedia?
I just put a bunch of stuff on my phone in different folders, but photosafe and videosafe need licenses to hide things so this would be a good thing to hide them from my less-tech savvy gf and allow me to actually take the security lock off lol

hehe - in response to the first part:
no - don't rename the folder to that. basically, the .nomedia is a file the GOES into a directory that you don't want the media scanner to scan.
The .nomedia file basically says, "move along! nothin to see here!".
So, a .nomedia file would have to be in EACH of the directories you don't want to show up. Keep in mind.. this won't hide them, and in regards to ur gf... a .nomedia file won't have any affect on the history that a media player might keep... so keep that in mind
To create the nomedia file, you can either find one on your sd somewhere, and copy it (pasting into desired folders)
or
open Notepad on ur computer, save the blank file as "nomedia.txt"
Copy it to your SD, in Astro, rename it to .nomedia (with no extension). and you're set.

[Q] game sounds in my music :(

anybody know of a way to specify which folders my music player scans? I have several hundred sound files infecting my music from assassins creed game
EDIT:
Problem is solved! Thanks!!
I THINK you can just find the folder with the undesired files and put a period at the front of the name... (.likethis)
Let me know if that works. :]
Edit: grammar...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Since I don't own Assassin Creed, I don't know where the game stores the music files. Some one else may be able to assist you there.
But one you find the correct folder, drop the ".nomedia" file attached with this post in that folder and Media Scanner will skip that folder the next time it runs. (probably want to reboot the phone after doing this so media scanner runs). This will work with all folder that you don't want scanned.
P.S. You need to extract the actual ".nomedia" from the zip, it is not a cwm flashable file.
Poweramp has a setting where you pick which folders the music comes from

[App]Official Moto Video Player

This is the official motorola video player
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2DNRIA0D
Download to device and install (may not download with xoom itself so dl using a PC and transfer to Xoom storage)
If install fails for any reason:
Place in system / app using root explorer or adb
then restsrt device
I got it from my moto atrix for whatever reason its not installed on the xoom
Powerful player and works with upnplay for streaming 720p content from ur home network unlike rock player or vplayer (slow and audio video sync issues)
i tried installing real player manually too but its resolution is off doesn't do full screen.
Doesn't install on any of my devices.
Sent from my GT-P1000
It wont install u need to push it with adb or use root explorer as OP.says
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Hotfile is being a real pain. could you put it on a better dump site? I'd love to try this. Does 720p high profile work?
i doubt that but i didnt try. Its just a MUCH better stock player that will play alot that the 'movies' app won't. Such as dlna over ur network for example (flvs, mp4s)
ive re-upped it.
Link not working for me
Copied to system/app, restarted, no icon.
Any ideas?
it won't show as a icon but when trying to play a movie itll pop up as a choice

1) download file on your pc (it wouldn't work when I downloaded straight on my xoom)
2) move the file over to your "sdcard"
3) open Root Explorer (make sure you are rooted)
4) move the file on your sd card over to /system/app (make sure /system/app is in r/w mode)
The end.
I would love to try this, but root explorer force closes on me everytime i attempt to open it.

Thanks for the reply. This is exactly what I did the first time. I did it again, and didn't have any problems (again). Maybe what I'm missing is how to actually play videos with this player? When I open a video file, I don't have a new listing/app option. I'm also very interesting in the streaming features the OP mentioned.

Most likely you have already defined one of your Multimedia apps as default player. Go to Settings>Applications and find your video players. One of them will have the "Launch by default" set. If you clear that you should be able to see the list of choices again when playing a video file.

Sorry, I should have explained more fully. It's not that I don't get the list of apps with which I can play a video, it's that there isn't a new app in the list-- I have no way to select this new player
Not to put a damper on anyone's enthusiasm around here, but has it occurred to anyone that maybe it won't work quite right because this apk was designed for a different OS version, OS skin, different hardware (though same Tegra 2 SOC), etc?
I Signed the APK now you can install it, at least it worked for me. OP if you want to download this and repost it I will delete this file after. Thanks for posting.

Any reports on how the signed APK behaves/works?

The only problem with that is it will get wiped when you flash a new ROM since its in system

Put it in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
It will behave exactly the same as in system but won't get lost if you change ROM
