As title says, I want to get rid of Apollo on CM10, is there a way to reinstall stock player? Or what would you suggest as a player?

You will need root explorer or es file explorer in order to remove Apollo from the system/app folder. Then you can install the player of choice.
Yes there is a way. Using root explorer, you can go to system/app/ and delete apollo.apk. And then, if you want the stock player, you can paste Music2.apk in the same folder, fix permissions, then restart. You now have the stock player instead of Apollo.
ive always just disabled this in apps since it really aint where it needs to be just yet. on top of that android will sometimes unpause apollo from two days ago rather then the google music app i was just using, when i hit the hardware button on my headphones.

Thank you.
Was looking for this solution for my Kindle using Energy ROM.

Ok, I'll try. Will it retain feats like skip on long volume press?

This is not a feature of the app but of the custom ROMs. As long as the ROM you're using has that mod, it will work with Google Music.
Titanium backup can also do the uninstall for you.
I'll second poweramp. Its definitely my player of choice, although it isn't free. For me the replay gain support is worth the money.

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?

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

Yeah tried renaming to music.apk and nothing,its not big deal to me.

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.

Hi Guys,
There are certain apps that I would like to hide from the App Drawer in my Tab since my friends are literally all over the tab and snooping around in my messages or photos or even password protection apps. Could you tell me of any possibility of Hiding apps from the App drawer or probably RENAMING them to a less catchy title?
Your help is much appreciated,
cheers!
There's only two ways of doing this.....
1. Route your phone and then using a Root Explorer rename the App.
2. Use an alternative Home App.
If you use Launcher Pro one of the options it has is to hide Apps from the App Drawer.
You would have to go back through the menu to un-hide them but it might work for you.
Launcher Pro
Menu>Preferences>General>Hide Apps
Btw, you have ****ty friends...

Beards,
Thanks for the reply. Now, i have rooted my tab and currently on Roto JMI v2. I have installed root explorer. Could you please guide me how to change the name from within ROOT EXPLORER. I mean, the directory / path of the apps? I tried myself but no luck
Cheers & Much Appreciated!
You should be able to simply mount the system/app folder and rename the App in question.
Can you confirm you have done a reboot.
If so Root Explorer should work as normal.

I have done a reboot, and can see various files in the root explorer along with the option to mount. But I am unable to see the apps that I have installed from the market. For example : Catch Notes is one app I installed but can't locate it in root explorer so that I can rename or modify it.
Cheers!

Sorry but if the App is not showing in a search you must have a problem with your rooting or the file manager.
Installed Apps would show in System/App
Easy work around if they aren't super tech savvy. Get launcherpro and hide the apps in question

How You Use " Root Explorer " To rename App ??
I am trying to get a list of the system file names so I can remove things like the Chinese keyboard and other installed apps I will never use like Google+. Even a list of what not to remove should work.
I tried different search terms and came up empty.
I am a little OCD when it comes to junk on my PCs and just want it all gone from my 7.
I did order an OTG cable from Amazon that was recommended in another thread and it works great.
Using an app like root explorer, navigate to /system/apps
Delete anything you don't want from there, but be careful!
Have a backup ready if you delete something important

I guess I will look at the files and if it's something I'm unsure of, I'll ask.
I would definitely back it up first. Thanks.

Most ROMs come with the stock browser.

Es file explorer (free) or root explorer (paid) have the ability to do this.

Is the ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk supposed to sync my bookmarks? I placed it into the system folder, and renamed the two apps in there already, rebooted and the Browser showed up, and works just fine, but I don't see any option to sync my browser. I went into Settings - Add Account, but only my apps (like facebook, and google) are shown, not the browser. Any ideas on how to get that working?

You have to go to Settings, Google, click on your gmail. Browser should show up there, and you can put a checkmark beside it to enable syncing,

Oh! Got it! I had to go further and click my account. Thanks!
So I'm rooted with the De La Vega method and it works great. As we all know, the new google maps v7 will not allow you to do a lot of things that the old versions would allow. I've found some older APKs from v6 and previous, but when I go to install, it will not allow it. Any ideas why, or how to get around it?
I'm interested in this as well. Plus the navigation voice is so robot like and it can hardly pronounce street names properly.

You can change the speech from Samsung to Google speech engine, sounds MUCH better. The method is somewhere in these forums.

I'd imagine maps is a system app, so using a file explorer go to system> apps and replace the maps apk with your older one, change permissions and reboot.

Sorry I'm not familiar with es file explorer. I use root explorer and just long press the file and select change permissions. Maybe try changing the extension of the original apk to something like .bak before you copy the new apk then you could always go back if you wanted the newest version again.

Once I downloaded the correct app to allow permission changes, I was able to rename the v7 file, copy over the v6 file and rebooted with no problems. However, the application didn't show up in the app list. So, I had to then install that same APK and everything works great. I now have all of my stored maps back!
What can't u do on v7?

There are several places online that have archives. I also had my APKs all backed up in such an event.
If you get blackout updater (Google play) or in Android themes. The blacked out version of Google maps is the last V6 version. I was glad to have the map view back.
