Problems with fascinate music player

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?
Sent from Epic(MixUp kernel)

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.

[HOW-TO] [Flash] [HULU] How to make Hulu (and others) work on the Samsung Galaxy Tab

The Galaxy Tab uses a custom build of Flash. If you try to install one of the hacked Nexus One Flash apks that are floating around, it won't work. Not only will you not be able to access Hulu, but Flash won't work at all. You also can't use the Android Market version.
Here's how to hack the Galaxy Tab to make Flash work with Hulu and other sites that block Android. These instructions are intended for more advanced users. Maybe someone nice will come along and post a pre-hacked apk, but I'm not going to post one myself. Sorry
1. Make sure your Galaxy Tab is rooted. If it isn't, you can easily root it by downloading z4root from the Android Market and running it.
2. Make sure you have Root Explorer installed. You can buy it for a few bucks in the Market if you don't already have it. It's a great program and worth the few dollars.
3. First, you need to get rid of the pre-installed version of Flash that comes with the Tab. Using Root Explorer, move install_adobe_flash.apk from /system/app/ to /sdcard/. You want to make sure it no longer exists in /system/app/ but that you have a backup copy in /sdcard/.
If you are like me and already deleted the original install_adobe_flash.apk from the Tab without backing it up, you will have to grab a new copy from a Galaxy Tab ROM. Find a Galaxy Tab ROM online (P1000XXJK5 works), uncompress it, mount factoryfs.rfs as an ISO, and get a new copy of the apk file out of it.
4. Next, you need to hex edit this version of Flash to make it appear as though it was Flash for Windows.
Now that you have install_adobe_flash.apk in the /sdcard folder, plug in the tab and enable USB file sharing.
Copy the apk file to your computer and unzip it. Inside, you will find /lib/armeabi-v7a/libflashplayer.so.
Open libflashplayer.so file in your favorite hex editor (Hex Fiend is good on OSX). Search for the ascii string "AND 10,1,92,8" (the numbers might be slightly different depending on your Tab's ROM). Replace that string with "WIN 10,1,102,64". Make sure the hex editor is in overwrite mode when you do this. The new string is longer than the old string, but you don't want to change the file size. Save the file.
5. Now you need to get your hacked version of Flash back onto the Tab.
You have a few options. You could install the flash apk using "adb install install_adobe_flash.apk". That would get you flash back. Then you could copy your hex edited libflashplayer.so to the /sdcard folder and then use Root Explorer to replace /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so with your version. That will work fine, but you will have to recopy your modified libflashplayer.so over the original one every time you reboot.
The better option would be to rebuild install_adobe_flash.apk with your hacked library included. Then you can install your modified flash apk.
6. Browser Settings
Dolphin HD is the best choice. You need to make sure the user agent is set to "Desktop". It seems like you also need Flash set to "Always On", not "On Demand". It seems to act flakey with On Demand but your experience might vary.
You can alternatively use the Hulu Bookmark app in the app store instead of Dolphin HD.
Playback can be a bit choppy on Hulu in full resolution. Play around with other sites besides Hulu too. Other sites like cbs.com and adultswim.com worked for me.
Have fun!

Thx great work, any instructions on how to rebuild the apk ?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Nice, thanks for the writeup. Flash is still far too flaky on mobile for my taste though. Its a complete mess IMO.

Would you be able to post the apk you used? I would gladly host it.

Rebuilt .APK is not installing
Followed the directions but I am not sure if I rebuilt the .apk properly as my modified Flash Player package fails to install. Can someone please post a working modified .apk?

I was following great until
... rebuild install_adobe_flash.apk with your hacked library included ...
How is that done?

Sign APKs
here is a tutorial on creating a key and how to sign an apk. hope this helps.
http://www.androiddevelopment.org/tag/apk/

I tired following your instructions to the letter then returning the edited hex file into the apk replacing the existing one, but no go. Is there a particular way it needs to be recompiled? If anyone knows how and can provide the edited apk for an ATT galaxy tab I would happily donate and I'm sure I'm not alone.

no dice
hulu and other sites gives me an error "requires flash player 10.0.32 or higher..."
as far as hexing, signing, and installing everything works a charm.
http://www.pixeldesire.com/box/install_flash_player.apk-signed

Wondering if you could use the Flash apk from the files for the Epic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841472

Does anyone know about that apk?

Which apk?

im on sprint tab and it def dont work. spent a few hours with it one day...maybe intended for an older flash like the firmware op suggests...just amazed how many stupid blogging sites repost info w/o testing...way to spread the ignorance...i have another idea on how to make it work using what i know about my evo. this MAY work. if it does i will post the apk...

it would be cool if we can get something working.

Success! Thanks to the OP for the write-up. I took the stock AT&T flash player apk, hex edited the version in libflashplayer.so and replaced it on the phone. It works fine in Dolphin HD (plugins set to Always; haven't tried On-demand) for Hulu.
I tried my hand at repacking the apk and signing it, but it doesn't seem to register the plugin using my apk, even though it's properly signed. So for now, the only approach that seems reliable is to install the stock apk and once installed, copy the modified libflashplayer.so over to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib.
See attached. I provide no guaranties, so YMMV. Unzip libflashplayer.so.zip prior to copying.
EDIT: Works great on southparkstudios.com too!

Would this work with the netflix web site?
Thanks for your efforts.

Browsing their website works fine, but you can't stream directly to the browser. That requires Silverlight, which I don't believe is available for the Android platform.

Sorry, does not work for me. Any suggestions? I did try in Miren and the default browser so perhaps browser specific?
Just tried Dolphin HD, no go. using your files.

I hope someone who knows better can get this working on a Tmo tab and confirm it before I blow mines up.
Hulu is a must have for long trips!

WMV license issue

Looking for a little help here. I am running KF1 and am unable to open WMV files. Receivign the error unable to acquire license when I try. Now I know that on KE7 stock I was able to view WMV files using the standard video program.
Could someone with KE7 test this for me to make sure I am not crazy.
Could someone else running KF1 test this to make sure I am not alone.

To register DivX you need to do the following:-
1. On the SGSII go to Settings/About Phone/Legal Information/License Settings/DivX VOD/Register
This will give you a registration code which you need to make a note of.
2. Once done you then have to download the registration file by clicking on where it says 'Free Download' from DivX ~ http://vod.divx.com
3. This will then download a file titled DivXInstaller.exe to your PC.
4. Install this file on your PC then run the DivX Player and register the SGSII using the code you wrote down earlier.
5. A file will then be downloaded to the PC which you then have to copy across to the SGSII.
6. Once copied simply play the file and the SGSII is then registered.
7. Go back into the settings and you will now notice where it says register it is now 'greyed out' and 'Deregister' is available to click on should you wish to de-register.
Job done....

[FIX] MLB at Bat Live Game Streaming on CM7,OMFGB, OMGB Thunderbolt

This fix is for the MLB at Bat app and will not break Netflix. MLB.TV users can enter thier account info on MLB at Bat for access to all live streaming games on their phone via Flash.
The problem is with CM7, OMFGB, OMGB that when you load up MLB at Bat and enter your MLB.TV account information, you do not get the option for the live games. This has only been tested on CM7 and will probably work on OMFGB/OMGB. This is not a problem for Sense based roms. There are two parts to the fix.
1. Getting the MLB at Bat app to recognize that your phone is authorized to play live content.
2. Getting the flash player to stream properly. Users encounter a live stream with only audio and no video on AOSP based roms. OR no stream at all.
FIX Part 1 (Getting MLB at Bat to authorize your phone for live content)
You need to edit the build.prop file in /system of your phone's root file system. To do this you need to use a file system viewer/edit app that can mount the file system as read/write ie. ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. I use Root Explorer. You can get this app on the market for $3.93US. Well worth the money with what it can do. ES File explorer is free on the market but is hit or miss on certain ROMs when it comes to mounting the file system to read/write. My instructions will be with Root Explorer but will be similar if you decide to use ES File Explorer.
To Begin:
Edit the build.prop (if you are a Netflix user, don't worry. It still works after this fix)
-Open Root Explorer and navigate to the root of your phone's file structure.
-Go to the file /system. Then press the Mount R/W button in the top right hand corner.
-Press and hold the file build.prop
-Scroll down and select "Open in Text Editor."
-Edit the following information exactly as it appears below under NEW.
OLD
ro.product.model=ThunderBolt
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
NEW
ro.product.model=ADR6400L
ro.product.brand=verizon_wwe
-Then press menu> Save Changes. It will then backup your old build.prop as build.prop.bak and save the new one as build.prop
-Reboot your phone.
-After it boots up open MLB at Bat and make sure your MLB.TV account information is setup. Press and hold an in progress game. You should now have the option to watch the game live.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!! You need to attempt to watch a game before doing FIX Part 2 or it will not work. The file you need to edit “config.data” will not be there.
Fix Part 2
This is the same fix that is posted on the first page of slayher’s CM7 RC 1.4 post for fixing Flash player 10.3 in the stock browser by removing permissions in config.data. The only difference is we are doing it for MLB at Bat.
To begin:
-Using Root explorer navigate to /data/data/com.bamnetworks.mobile.android.gameday.atbat2011.full/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/
-Press and hold the file config.data and select Permissions.
-Remove the check marks in all the boxes and then select ok.
-Then Reboot
You should now be able to watch live games.

Thanks OP this was one of the last things that I wanted for CM7!

This is great, thanks.
Unfortunately, it does not work for me.
Part 1 was ok, I see the option to watch live feed, click on it.... does not work.... and I jump into Part 2.
But the required file is not there.
Tried many times.
Thanks anyway.

Are you using using data or wifi to stream? Are you using CM7 or OMFGB? If your on data give the app a minute to determine your location. Wifi it should start right up. Also this is assuming you have the game plan with no blackouts. The app will not stream until it knows your location via cell tower or wifi. The stream should start up with sound only and no video. Once that happens you can move on to step 2.

Also, I don't know if this makes a difference but I was using Flash 10.3 from the market, not 10.2.

Those having problems. This fix is for Flash 10.3. Try uninstalling MLB at bat and also Flash 10.3 and reboot. Then, re-install Flash 10.3 and then MLB at Bat. Turn WiFi on. Then try to play a live game. Wait for the stream to initialize with sound and then shut down MLB at Bat. Then do Part 2 of the fix.

[GUIDE] Living with CM9 ICS alpha - Tips & tricks / Troubleshooting

I have been using CM9 ICS on my Note for 4 days on and off. And needless to say, it has been a great experience. So I thought I would start this thread for everyone else who is using CM9 and would like to share their tips/tricks.
- I would like to start off with this particularly useful tip I discovered. The music player crashes a LOT and when you boot back up you notice several copies of you tracks. This happens to me the most with the stock music player. Hence I have switched to winamp which seems to be a lot more stable. The fix for the duplicated files after a crash (force close) is very simple. You either need to perform a factory wipe from clockworkmod (messy) or go to Settings>Apps>ALL>Media Storage>Clear Data and REBOOT. Once you have a fresh start, you need to backup the "[PLAYLISTS] Media Storage" data with Titanium Backup. Next time you have a crash, fire up Titanium Backup and restore the DATA ONLY from the Media Storage backup you made earlier. Reboot. Your library should be free from duplicates now. I also recommend switching to winamp. Winamp too crashes sometimes but you can use the same fix for it. If you happen to load more tracks, launch winamp and make sure the library has updated fine and perform another backup of Media storage from Titanium Backup. BTW, winamp also has an option for lock screen integration.
-I use ES explorer for general messin around with the filesystem. How you set it up is also simple. Get ES explorer, go to settings and enable Root Explorer, superuser will ask for permission, say yes. Now scroll up a bit and you will see the Home Directory option. Set it to "/". Yes, that is just slash. Now when you hit 'up' in the explorer window you can leave the sdcard location and explorer the system files. Now you internal sdcard's(storage) location is "/sdcard" or "/mnt/sdcard". The external (microsd) path is "/mnt/extsdcard". I haven't tried OTG USB mounting but the path for that would be "/mnt/usbdisk".
-There are SEVERAL ways of getting files on you sd, internal or external. The easiest way is to reboot>recovery>mounts & storage>mount USB storage. But that gives you access only to the internal sd. You can use ES explorer for sharing files wirelessly with your windows machine using the SMB protocol which is very robust. I suggest you google for instructions. You can also use QtADB, which gives you access to you external card too. And then there is dropbox. Dropbox now uses a temp system location for downloading files. The path to the temp folder is "/sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/scratch". You can use ES explorer to go to that path and 'retrieve' your downloaded files. Works especially well with .zip's.
-Now, the default boot animation is cropped on the sides and is kinda lame. So I thought I would try and fix it. I couldn't fix it with resizing the jpegs. So I just snagged some bootanimations from the web. I liked the one I attached below the most. It's called Machina and runs full screen on the Note. No cropping Now once you download that zip, you need to get it on your sd. Do it any way you like. Set up root on ES explorer and also enable Write Mode. DON'T FLASH THE ZIP WITH CLOCKWORKMOD. Locate the file on ES explorer, copy it, navigate to "/system/media" and paste it. You'll notice there is a bootanimation.zip there. That is the default one and you should back it up on your sd. Once backed up, delete the default one and rename the download zip to "bootanimation.zip". Reboot. BTW, I take no credit for the boot animation.
Please hit the thanks button if any of this helped you. I will be adding more info as I come across it.

Click HERE to see a quick youtube video of the boot animation.

Camera doesn't work, I'll pass

I got the nexus bootanimation to be fullscreen. I 'borrowed' hdr jpgs from a tablet build. HERE is a short youtube clip. You will find the zip attached below. Again, DO NOT FLASH WITH CLOCKWORKMOD.

Thank you for the thread and the animations!
Another tip for file transfer (which has been mentioned earlier, in the CM9 thread) is to use Airdroid. I use that method as it feels more convenient to be able to keep the phone on.

I like the machanic bootanimation thx

Also you can put the bootanimation.zip to /data/local which makes it permanent if you update the rom(in the future i hope )
Placing the bootanimation in /system/media makes it change in every rom update-flash cause the flash formats the system but leaves /data as it is
And if you have different bootanimations in /system/media and /data/local the /data/local bootanimation wins
