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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690180
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
JD
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)

So, as Froyo is slowly becoming the standard around here, I thought I would post a few workarounds for some of the problems that people are having with Froyo and the wide selections of Froyo ROMS to choose from. I put this list together, as these problems I see coming up in many of the Froyo ROM threads.
So, I ll start with a few of the most common ones, and will add to this list later.
Issue -My apps are appearing twice in the ADW apps launcher after moving them to the SD card! (Froyo apps2sd)
Workaround-It seems almost everytime I reboot the phone that Im getting the apps appearing twice. If you uninstall ADW, and then reinstall it, then it stops. So what I ve done for the time being is to install ADW new, get all the widgets and apps you want on the home screen, and then go into the restore and backup settings in ADW launcher. Make a backup of your ADW settings and of your homescreens and save those to your sd card (it does this automatically). Then, the next time you need to reboot your phone and you see double apps coming up, just go into ADW settings and "Restore" your settings for the launcher and homescreens. Then the double apps go away, your settings are retained, and your apps and widgets are back on your homescreen.
If your using the same apps and widgets all the time, its probably a good idea to do a Nandroid after you ve done this, and to save the 2 ADW save files stored on your sd card just in case you ever want to quickly restore your settings again.
Issue- Froyo apps2sd is rubbish! I only have 40mb left on internal storage! I want the old apps2sd back!!
Workaround- First off, I have to admit that at first I didn’t like the new Froyo apps2sd. But actually now, I like it more, due to the fact that you don’t need an EXT or swap (meaning MORE SPEED), AND coupled with the fact theres a very easy way to get FOUR TIMES MORE STORAGE than the 40mb (estimate for 115 apps) that you have left. The solution? Easy..all you have to do is go into your ROMS settings, and “move dalvik to cache”. To put it simply, I have 117 apps installed on my phone. After I moved them all to the sd card, I had 40mb left. I then went into the spare parts on Emonthers ROM, and enabled “dalvik on cache”. I then rebooted, and VOILA…137mb free internal space.
I cant confirm that all ROMS have this option, but if your ROM does have it, it’s the way to go. From what I ve read (please correct me if im wrong), this space is allocated mostly for OTA updates. As most of us here have root, why not use that space to free up some internal memory! After doing this, my phone is running VERY fast and smooth.
Issue- My phone keeps rebooting at the load screen! HELP!!
Workaround -This commonly occurs if you didn’t wipe properly when coming from another ROM. If this is happening to you, you ll need to:
Pull your battery to get the loops to stop
Reboot into recovery
Do a full wipe, then if you have an ext partition wipe that. Also wipe cache and dalvik settings. This is very important. Then flash your ROM. Your Bootloops should then stop. And remember, if your partioning your card, remember to REPAIR EXT PARTITIONS. This is VERY important and will save you lots of grief.
Issue- When I record video my phone reboots! HELP!
Workaround- This means you haven’t installed the Froyo radio. You ll need to be sure you have either flashed the zip version of the Froyo radio or installed the image (Cyan says installing the image is safer. Im sure hes probably right, but I can confirm I have flashed the zip version of the radio and it works fine).
Issue-I don’t know which apps to install to the sd card and which I should leave on the phone! AAARRGGHH!
Workaround- From what I have read, what you ll want to leave on the phone are:
Widgets, apps that have widgets that you use, keyboards, and system apps. I also keep my sms app on the phone, although Im sure it will work fine on the SD card.
Issue- I just flashed a new ROM, and now the app launcher is all slow! Whats up with that??
Workaround- This is most likely because your apps are being automatically redownloaded and installed. This is a feature of Android that was added to Eclaire that allows Google (with your permission) to backup your settings (apps, wifi key, ect). Give the phone a minute and you ll see in your app launcher that your apps are being added automatically! When its done, you ll get a notification that says “ “X” number of apps reinstalled. Saves you time and work, and now your launcher will stop lagging.
Issue- There are so many Froyo ROMS! Which one is the best one!??!
Workaround- This is like asking if basketball is cooler than football. In short: it’s a matter of opinion. I can however share my findings so far.
Cyan6- We all know the quality of Cyan and TeamDouches work. When there ROMS go stable, they..well…they JUST WORK GREAT. Cyans ROMS are always very detailed and COMPLETE (trackball lights, wallpapers, advanced options) Right now, for me the ROM is still very buggy, so I would give it the number 3 spot.
RoDrIgUeZsTyLe- If you like overclocking and speed, this ROM is a winner! His ROMS have a lot of kernel options and overclocking enhancements, and are fairly stable. Very recommended.
Enomther- At this very moment, this ROM takes the cake and is easily my number 1 pick. Stable, fast, TONS of enhanced features and extra settings, and I can honestly say I haven’t had one FC yet. I can understand why hes one of the top dogs here. His newest ROM has been an AWESOME Froyo experience for me, and I ll be sticking with him until Cyan goes stable.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER FROYO ROMS. THESE ARE JUST THE ONES THAT I HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCES WITH. YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE MAY VARY!! THE DEVS HERE ALL DO GREAT WORK, AND THIS IS BY NO MEANS SAYING THAT ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER!
Anyway, that’s all I have for now. I hope this helps out, and I ll be adding to this thread as more common problems come to me. I hope it helps someone out, and I really hope it saves our awesome devs some time from answering questions. After all, it takes time creating all the awesomeness that they bring!

great job dude thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge

Just checked and yeah there is, it's hidden though (.android_secure)
Is this what's giving me trouble?

Quite possibly yes. Try deleting that folder, rebooting, and then try to install. Make sure the folder doesnt reappear after reboot. If it does, try just deleting it and then downloading and installing an app.
Also, be sure to let me know if it works, so that I can add it to the thread.
thank you for the information. I would suggest that you try Leo Froyo. Very stable and full of options.

Are u using the old apps2sd or the new? I read in another thread that deleting this folder was allowing some to download apps after deleting it. I personally haven't had his problem, but ill search around to see if I can find a workaround.
Download this file here and make sure it doesn't have .txt as file ext, but .xml instead. Rename if necessary.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6602402&postcount=8
Then follow this instruction.

If it doesn't work, you most likely don't have the shared_prefs folder. So just create one.
Hope it helps. Good luck.

apps2sd for froyo as in the built in implementation of apps2sd native to it. its not apps2ext
hook up the sd to your pc and have a look inside youll see your apps lol

LOL. Yes, I know what the new Froyo apps to sd is I asked because in many of the Froyo ROMS you have the possibility to choose between the new implemented from Google apps2sd or the old style apps2sd that we seen in builds prior to Froyo.
Have you given rjhay22's suggestion a try? Please let me know if it fixes so that I can get it added to the original post.

Never seen any of these problems... Apps2SD is okay, just more apps need to support it.. I have 4-5 5M+ apps which don't, and it'd help a lot if they did. I'm sitting around 30M free after clearing browser cache with a ton of apps installed on my stock OTA.

well if you have the mod install location app you can force the option to allow apps to be moved to SD
@Dai323
haha sorry i was using froyo apps to sd. I dont think it makes any difference whether that folder is there or not unless something is entirely screwed up with a rom flash.
ive read that the solution rjahays solution will work for enomthers for sure as well as modacos rom
I have a really bad issue with this process.android.acore thing. Whenever I install darkstone's FyoroStone 3.17 build, it runs fine and I restore my apps and whatnot and go on my merry way. After 5 minutes the HTC Calendar process force closes and after any future restart, I get the process.android.acore force close issue, where I keep getting the little box that asks me to bloody end the thing.
I have reinstalled and reformatted my SD card several times. Anyone have any ideas?

How are you restoring you apps, from the market or titanium backup?
The reason I ask is because if you're using titanium backup, you might be messing with the settings, but that's if you're restoring system settings with you batch also. Only thing I can think of.
Also, have you tried using another build to see if you get that issue?
I am using Titanium Backup. I am only restoring the settings that have been backed up from earlier iterations of the same build before this error started.
Furthermore, I am currently downloading mdjeey's build to see if that fixes it.
I'm also flashing to a different WinMo Rom, but that's a different story.

Yeah, try Mdeejay's build and see if you get the same issue; and when you restore just restore the apps and not the system settings. I personally like his latest Froyo HD.
I prefer the Sense build. Makes me look totally awesome when I pinch and show all 5 windows and pick which to see in front of my friends.
That one is a sense build, based on the new DesireHD ROM. It's pretty nice
Only problem for me is the camera not working. That's a deal breaker for me, but it's still nice to have it on my SD

yup, I haven't had an issue and I've had up to 4 different builds on my sdcard. As long as you rename the android folder to something else, and change the rel_path= in the startup.txt
I use EBL which comes included in the WinMo ROM I use (on my sig if you want to give it a try)
Edit: EBL is the program that autoboots the android builds. Or you can just manually do it by going to the folder and clicking the CLRCAD and HaRET.

I never got the market to reliably work on DarkStone's SuperRam Build.
Same with 'Gtalk verification failed'.
I am now on Americandroid and have no problems.
The difference though, between the time I set up Darkstone and Americandroid, is that on the darkstone install I typed my full gmail addy (including @gmail.com), and on the Americandroid install, I only typed the google mail username part and let android fill in the @gmail by itself (by moving the cursor to the password field)
No idea if that made the difference to make it work though.
hey guys miui is pissing me off big time. for the last three releases the phone app keeps force closing with a "com.android.phone has force closed" error ever since like january. thats the only problem with these releases. if i turn data off, it works just fine with receiving and making calls but with data on nothing. if i make a call i can hear the call in the background like if i call voice mail i can hear the lady being like "you have no messages" but while i can hear that the force close app is in my face. if i hit force close, the service like resets itself like the bars get the X on them and it says no service then it regains it. please help i tried copying the phone apk from an older miui release but miui wont let me install it it says its installing but then its like "app was not installed".
Well with the phone apk you'll most likely have to push it with adb or with a file manager to your system apps
You can't just install a system app the way you do with a normal app. You have to use adb to push it to the system or use a root browser to put it in the system apps, but don't forget to change the permissions before you reboot and you should be golden. You might wanna try a FULL wipe and fresh install tho
---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------
I would also recommend trying MIUI Pyromod v1.0 if you like MIUI enough to be going without data
I would try a FULL wipe, I used to run MIUI on the Speedy from time to time and never had these issues.
Go into recovery select mounts and storage and then format system,format SD EXT IF IT'S PRESENT don't wipe the SD card just the EXT. Then format data and format cache, head back to the main menu of recovery and select advanced and wipe dalvik cache.(some say the dalvik part is redundant BUT I do it anyways and have never had a flawed flash with this wipe method and I'm about 2k flashes in lol)I hope this helps you in some way
