Help installing CM9 music player - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really like the CM9 player but I'm having trouble installing it. I followed a guide that said back up music.apk then delete it with root browser, then install CM9 music player. It worked, it successfully installed but I just used it and halfway thru one song my phone froze. I did a battery pull, when it rebooted, it said "sorry, music has stopped working" and it says that every time. Someone help?

Could I just use Titanium Backup to force remove, without backing it up, and then installing CM9??

Cm9 is an entire ROM. If you want that, boot into recovery and format system and data, and then wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then you'll have a clean slate to install the ROM onto.
If you want just the music player, yes you can use titanium to uninstall then try putting the music player in system/app changing the permissions to rw, r, r, installing and rebooting.

How can I change the permissions after deleting the stock app and installing cm9?

I use root explorer, but you can use terminal emulator as well. If you can't afford Root Explorer, I'd suggest you hook, steal or kill to get the money. Totally worth it.
Anyway, using Terminal Emulator, type in these lines and hit "return" between each:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
chmod 644 Music.apk
There are alternate, shorter methods, but this one is fun.

I used jrummy root explorer lite and I just replaced the file with the cm one and renamed it to music.apk after that I set permissions rebooted and set permission on cwm and it was working perfectly though I don't use it (stock ics player is awesome) it works just fine.

So you didn't force remove the stock music app? you just replaced it and renamed it? then set permissions like the reply above and then again on cwm?

Setting permissions on both seems a little redundant one or the other should suffice.

True, but I wanted to be sure so I did both. It never hurts to do both now does it?

[Q] Factory apk. reinstall

How do I reinstall the factory .apk's like twitter and footprints. I have all the apk's, but they always fail when trying to install. When looking at the files in Super Manager they look like this HTCtwitter.apk(no install). Is there an easy way? I used Super Manager to remove them in the first place.
They need to be copied or pushed to /system/app

Ok, that makes sense. When I try to copy and past it won't let me. It says no busybox. What is the easiest way to push them there?
FYI, I'm a nob.

You can use adb push blah.apk /system/app in command prompt on your pc. Easiest way would be root explorer though.

Liberty rom not working with mp3 files

Not sure if this is a known issue but I can't play mp3 files with the liberty rom. I was using grummy before this one and had the same problem. It says file type not supported if I try to play it. This is probably related but I can't play any songs off of Pandora or grooveshark. Any tips as to what's happening. I tried unmounting my SD card aand mounting it and tried using winamp still no luck.

did you come from 2.3.15 or 2.3.32/34?
If you came from 2.3.15, I think that is the reason. You need to update your kernel.
If you came from 2.3.32 or higher, I don't know.
I'm currently using 2.6.32 not sure what I came from. Is there a way to check without restoring my backup?

In "About Phone" what is your kernel version?
i had the same problem, u will have to flash back to stock, update your version then flash back over to liberty, thats what i had to do, and now it works fine
Ok I found a zip that says it will update my kernal can I just flash that instead of going back to stock?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I think you can just flash that, but I haven't tried it. You might want to ask @P3Droid on twitter if you are using his (TBH) .zip.

If audio isnt working, then i am 100% surr e you are/were still kn 2.3.15 update. I was in the same boat. If you really want to stay on your current version, let me know. I have the files that will fix your issue.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
NOTE: These files are only useful if you are on the 2.3.15 OTA from Verizon and are running Liberty or GummyJar 2.5
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE BEFORE DOING THIS! I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PHONE IF YOU MESS IT UP
Take this zip file that is attached, there should be two .so files under the /system/lib folder.
you will need root explorer to do this most easily. If you don't have root explorer, you can use adb to push the files to your phone.
Open a command prompt to the directory where you saved these files and enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
**KEEP THIS FIRST WINDOW OPEN
Open a second command prompt window and issue the following commands:
adb push libbridge.so /system/lib/libbridge.so
adb push libLCML.so /system/lib/libLCML.so
Go back to the first command prompt and issue the follow commands:
cd /system/lib
chmod 644 libbridge.so
chmod 644 libLCML.so
Go back to the 2nd command prompt and enter the following:
adb remount
adb reboot
Your phone will now reboot, and once it has booted back up, you should be good to go!
Good luck and enjoy!
I have this same issue but it doesnt appear to be related to firmware. My handset is on 340 and MP3's play when on the stock rom but fail to do so when on Liberty 1.5.

My guess would be just a bad install unfortunately. I would use the Liberty Toolbox to backup your apps/data and then backup any other info you made need (contacts if not synced to gmail, etc.) and then do a re-install of Liberty 1.5
See if this helps out the problem, as I have seen this work before. I have had a few issues when coming from different ROM's and then going to Liberty 1.5, a fresh install over the top helped me.
Does it play any sound at all or just mp3s? That seems like an odd bug. Did you try using winamp or doubleTwist to see if that fixes it? Maybe go liberty apps setting and install the music add on. Maybe that will help. Good luck.

Question. Deleting system files

I can't delete my gmail.API out of the system files it just respawns. And ideas?
apk?
Make sure the system is rw. Otherwise it just "pretends" to delete.
Yeah apk sorry. Switched keyboarding. root explorer says r/w at the top

Don't trust root explorer. It doesnt always correctly mount as rw.
How do I fix that sir?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
You can use terminal commands, but for a fairly simple way to do it, I use "Remount /system (ro/rw)". It's a free app on the market, easily remounts system as rw at the touch of a button.
Well my idea didn't work but thanks guys

i am not sure but i think that when u root your phone it installs a version of busybox in system partition maybe that is causing the problem

[Q] /system/media default permissions

Hey guys,
Can some very nice person open a root browser and tell me what the default permissions are for /system/media/audio/ringtones, etc? The directories themselves. Then, what permissions the audio files are supposed to have?
On LS980 ota without a custom recovery so I can't reflash system, and the fix permissions shell script doesn't do the job.
Basically, I messed up the file perms for my audio so now I can't set any ringtones or notifications tones until I fix it. I thought I had backed them up to my USB stick over OTG but they aren't there.
