Help installing CM9 music player

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?

How to push an app to system?

I've seen apps that you have to "push" them to install them. What exactly does that mean and how do I do it?

You need to use adb on a computer the command would be
adb push nameofapp.apk /system/app/
Or
You can use a file manager with root access and copy the app to /system/app and fix permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot

Or, alternatively you can use Titanium Backup to do the job.

Open TB
go to the backup/restore tab
find the app you want
Long press the app till a menu pops up
Find option to convert the app in the menu and follow directions

Well, I meant exactly like bobdarkside has just described. I think we might misunderstood you, because with TB you can only convert previously installed apks into system ones. So if you need to do it without installation go for adb or file manager method.

I can't delete any files on my nexus 7?

My nexus 7 had slowed down recently. So I was advised by someone here to reinstall the stock rom. So I backed everything up that was on it and installed the latest version of android (4.2.2). It worked. It's not slow anymore. But there's one problem. I can't delete any files on it using es file manager. I get a message saying "cannot delete some files. Please make sure that your storage is not mounted as read-only". I don't know what that means. Can someone help me?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

You can delete unwanted files straight from TWRP Recovery. TWRP > Advanced > File Manager >SD Card > Select Items > Delete.

Well that worked. But it's too much trouble to have to go into TWRP just to delete a file. Why can't I delete it with ES file explorer like I could before I reinstalled the stock rom?

You don't state if you're rooted....

Yes it's been rooted.

And SU or SuperSU (whichever) is active, with root permissions being granted as needed?

Depending on where you're working you may need to ask for write and mount privileges through terminal.
For example if working in /system:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
Caution do not do this if you are not experienced. You may damage your system.

Hmm I'm not sure I understand. I already put it in rw mode in the es file explorer app under tools/root explorer. But it still won't let me delete things.

Guys something is definitely not right. I just noticed that I can't read or write or edit text files (.txt). When I try to open a text file with es note editor it says an error occurred while trying to open file. Why is this happening? I almost wish I never did a fresh install.

Hm weird. Under the assumption that you are doing everything correctly, it should work as superuser permissions supersedes all and any limitation unless the file is open preventing it from being written to. If that's the case you will have to go through recovery as Username invalid suggested to edit the file.

I just tried that. Unfortunately it didn't work. And it gets worse. It seems like I can't do anything to the file system at all. Meaning I can't create a new file or folder. And I can't edit or delete what's already there. I haven't tried to download anything yet. But that probably won't work either. This is terrible.

Nope. Can't download nothing. I just tried to download the music video beat it by Michael Jackson from youtube using the tubemate app. It said: Error: open failed: EACCES (permission denied)

I read it. It says to fix it I have to remove and recreate the virtual device and change the size. But I have no idea what that means or how to do it. Why is everything so hard?

If you can install apps, install root explorer from the store. Its the better tool for this type of issue. Also install terminal emulator and try the command that was in one of the replies above.
How did you return to stock?
Please don't fall back on the I'm a noob thing and expect people to hold your hand. The more you do/learn yourself, the better help you can expect here.

I returned to stock with the nexus 7 toolkit. It does everything for you. But it doesn't seem to help with this. Anyway I looked at those apps, and root explorer is $4.00. I don't mind paying for it. But I want to know if it's a necessity to have before I buy it.
The other app (terminal emulator) has multiple versions by different companies. How do I know which one to get? Here are some:
Android terminal emulator by jack palevich
Terminal emulator by cityapp
Shell terminal emulator by mobildev
Terminal IDE by Spartacus Rex
There are even more, those are the free ones.

Hi,
I rooted my device with Odin/CF autoroot (still on stock rom)
I now want to get the official update. I've unrooted by using the 'Permanently Unroot' within Super SU. I've cleared the cache partition in recovery. I do not have an SD card.
It still says modified and won't update. Can anyone offer assistance?

The problem is going to be you have to be rooted to delete it. It is safe and should have been removed before you unrooted.

Sorry for being such a pain in the ass but under system/xbin I only have
daemonsu
daemonsu-old
dexdump
su
Nothing busybox related.
I've done a full search using ES File Explorer of my local files - 0 results found for busybox.

This may or may not have anything to do with the update issue but it's worth a try. Sometimes the damensu-old file will remain in xbin after unroot. Next time before unrooting uninstall any play store update to the supersu app then unroot from settings in supersu. After you unroot use es file explorer to confirm that the only file left in xbin is dexdump. Then try the ota update.
