[Q] Using CM5 Music.apk

I'm in the process of pulling the Music.apk out of CM5 for the Nexus1, and am going to push it to my Vibrant.
Question though... do I need to remove the current music player (/system/app/MusicPlayer.apk) before I put the CM5 one on there?
Is there anything else I should know before doing this? Thanks!

Curious, whats so good about the CM5 music player that the Samsung one doesnt have?

Well for me, I'd like it so I can use Last.fm scrobble feature. It doesn't support the Samsung one because the api is not supported and the its closed source.
@OP
Yea push it, then debug if it force closes. I'm pretty sure you might need some libs. De compiling the apk, maybe.

No clue. I just like trying different things out of boredom.

Ah, same reason I stopped using the Samsung music app. I love it though, just want Last.Fm support.
I use the music player called "Cubed" as in the math symbol. Its free, supports Last.Fm and is better than the stock music player. Search for it in market under the author "filipe"

I just read the Vibrant5 thread. And eugene included the stock Music player in his rom. Might want to check that out.

Two music apps to choose from

I flashed Eugene's hybrid rom,which didn't have the stock Samsung music player.
I then extracted his Vibrant9 rom and copied and pasted the Samsung apk into system.
I haven't uninstalled the music app,that came with the hybrid rom,but they both work fine.I just prefer the ui from the stock Samsung player.

Hey so any instruction on how to do this. I'm kind of a noob and really like that player...

I would hope that at the very least it can list more than 50 artists. The Samsung player looks nice, but it's a piece of crap for a media-centric phone if it gets overloaded by too much music.

Touchwiz music player

ok just switched from a international galaxy s here, enjoying the amazing speed of the Epic, it's crazy fast but I miss many of the touchwiz features, like the music player, I loved the Equalizer and the UI of the touchwiz music player, but the biggest feature I miss is the music controls in the notification bar and lock screen, it made multitasking a joy !
any idea if we can install the touchwiz music player in our phones ? is there a APK or something ? will the status pull down controls and Lockscreen controls work ?

You could try searching the system dump of the i9000 t see if you can find the apks, but even then it might not work...

I sold my phone, I have only the Epic 4g now. I'll try over at the galaxy s forum.

i switch from the vibrant and thats the only thing i miss please if u find the way let us know

does the EQ work over other apps too? like Pandora?

I, too, would like to have that music player. I would also greatly enjoy having the video player so I can adjust brightness and have it save where I left off on the movie.
The stupid stock one we have restarts the movie every time I navigate away.

We should start up a bounty for this. I'd pay money to have the video player

If we could get a system dump of the I9000, we could try to port it to the The Boss ROM.

for video I'm using rock player, it's not as smooth in playing back certain filetypes as the stock player{only a few 720P MKVs everything else works perfectly}, but it has all those features like remembering where you left, adjusting brightness etc.
BTW I'm thinking the Froyo update should bring the music player, cause every other galaxy s has it ,there's no reason why the Epic shouldn't get it.
it the mean time I'm using MiXing along with quickdesk to control music playback in the background, which is nowhere near as not as good ,but it works.
also does anyone know a music player app that can play flac files ,thats another thing I miss ?

I'm going to try and port this over if I get the chance tonight. Ill report back my progress.

Guys, for video just get mvideoplayer from the market. Puts rokplayer to shame, handles everything including mkv with subs and resumes where you left off.
As for the music player, having never used or seen the music player on the other galaxy phones, i really don't know what i am missing as i am fine with the stock Android music player.

Is it possible to pull those features off the Fascinate because I think mine has them but he maybe talking about something else.

One that works even better is Wuzhenhua Player...I've yet to find a video that won't play using it. I tried the MPlayer that you suggested, but it wouldn't play videos that Wuz still does, so I'm sticking w/ Wuz.
It's not available on the market, but I found it using Google. The latest version, as far as I know, is 4.1 which has been converted to English...worked great on my Moment, and even better on my Epic.
I've tried attaching the .apk, but I keep getting errors...I'll try again later. EDIT: Got it attached.

Please post questions in General section.

[Q] wma files on defy with cm7

Yeah, I see that I don't seem to be able to play .wma files since I got cm7. It's certainly not the end of the world, but most of my music is in wma. Is that just the facts of life, or is there a way to do it? Doesn't matter what player I use or whether the files are internal or on SD. Hmm. :/

PowerAmp plays wma encoded music. It didn't work for you?
Trimis de pe Defy CM9

No, I know, many players *play* wma files. Winamp, etc. But none will play them since I went to CM7. Alas.

wma is a licensed codec (owned by microsoft). The Cyanogenmod team would have to buy that license (which is proportional to the number of users using it) in order to decode .wma files.There are over 40k CM7 users over the world.
That's not possible unfortunately
CM7 + CM9 double boot

This makes sense. Thanks
Totally understandable. I was thinking, if I can't I can't. But if I can and I just don't know how, I want to know how. Thanks

[Q] Music in Player disapears [CM10][Poweramp]

Everytime, i want to listen to music on my Defy, it (ofc not the defy :cyclops disappeared...
Well let me begin from the start:
I'm on CMX using Poweramp as Music Player. I love it, it has always been great, but since some time i got a problem.
I dont know if its somehow Rom related or Player related, so i open a new thread, please dont kill me
I searched "[SUPPORT] Quarx's CM10 PROBLEMS reporting thread" and haven't found reports about it, so i tell you:
When I open Poweramp, it shows me some random sfx from some game i have on my Defy. Thats not the problem for me, the problem is, that when i open the library, some folders are shown, while more than the half of the folders are not shown...
Well everytime this happens to me, i have to re-read sdcard, which takes up to 5 minutes, then my music is there...
But thats not the only thing, music is also disappearing, while listening to it... it just stops, and plays this game sfx...
I dont know what to do anymore, thought it might be a problem with the sdcard speedfix, implemented in SetVSel, disabled it, but didnt change anything.
So long story short, anyone knows how to fix it or a workaround?
