I updated to music 4.0 like is posted here.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...s-all-new-interface-better-controls-and-more/
I did lose my music, but was able to get it syncing again easily. Only thing... I don't have any playlists. I hope this isn't by design. I even tried creating a new playlist on the computer to see if it would find that one. No deal.
Anyone else??
Future FYI--
I don't know about different version support ie 4.0, but I have had good luck backing up/restoring playlists with MyBackUp Pro. So have never lost them--yet--

you shouldn't install this music 4.0 if you expect everything to work.
This apk isn't designed to work with 2.3.x it is for ICS.
Works perfectly, just delete data after installing...

Heh, really. So you don't think it's appropriate to ask if other people are having the same problem? That seems a bit strict... especially when it is being reported that everything DOES work.

Here's what I did to get the apk working (v4.0.1.501), with root access.
If you use Titanium Backup, use it to uninstall all existing versions of Music on your phone (this includes both the stock Music app and Music Beta).
Then install the apk.
Open the application, and you should see a notification asking for permission to connect to your Google account. Tap confirm.
Go to Settings, Applications, then Music and hit "clear data".
Go back to the Music app and your music should start syncing from the cloud.
If nothing happens, check that there is an item under Account Settings / Google account, for Google Music, and that sync is activated.
Hope it helps!

Yeah, they take a second or two to display, but they're there...
The playlist is there

Hmmm, I still don't have mine. I even tried reinstalling. Maybe because I'm only 2.3.3... or I suppose who knows what it could be. Oh well... I can live with it this way for a couple of months I think. I really like the updated version.
Can anyone report if the usability of the player has been improved? I love the streaming feature of 3.0, but aside from that it is the worst music player I have ever touched. Stuff like not being able to create ad hoc playlists, the all songs from an artist playlist sorting the tracks in alphabetical order, and the pointless hiding of the notification bar in the landscape view make me want to punch someone every time I listen to music.
Finally figured it out. I downloaded the official app from the market, which I thought maybe would work... but it didn't. Then when maps 6.0 came out yesterday... well you all know the lack of internal space. So my N1 was so screwed, it wasn't even connecting to google servers and getting my mail because the space was so slow. I also noticed how the music app just kept saying it was syncing (the spinning circle).
I decided to cull the apps a little, and really free up some space. Well after about 20 minutes, finally my playlists appeared. So the music app was building a database, but then running out of space and stopping, and I guess it was leaving the playlists until the end. My database was also missing a lot of songs. An album might have been missing half the songs (of course they were all there on the web).
Just for the record, I'm not talking about pinning my music and downloading it or anything, I mean even just seeing the songs on the phone without offline access.
Hopefully I can live with almost no apps until January when I can get a GN.
I've tried searching about for this and haven't found an answer yet.
When using the original samsung roms the TTS voice from google nav always caused any music to pause or cut out.
Later I've had rom's/kernels where I've had my the TTS voice from google nav mixing with the music playing from another player ( ICSSGS, various kernels)
I'm using Team NYX ICS rc5 at the moment with Devil3 0.79, and just used google nav for the first time in a long time and the TTS is cutting off music again.
Is it actually a kernel thing and/or is there some setting to work with this?
Does anyone know the actual terms I should be looking for more information on this, or what to look for as a kernel feature if it's a kernel issue?
I've looked through voodoo control and can't see anything that seems to effect it.
whoops, heh, found options for it burried away in powerAMP now, I've never changed them so I don't know why it's gone from not working, to working and back again, no one else touches my phone
close / delete thread if you wish.
Hey all,
running rooted stock 4.1.1, and only the google play app will send track information to my BT receiver in my car.
I wrote a small app/service that will send all track info from a modified pandora app, unmodified soundcloud, tunein, spotify, etc over bluetooth.
I think that 4.2 fixes it, but of course we don't have that yet.
is this something others would use? should i take the time to make the app less rough around the edges?
-jesse
I would really love to use it!
Is it possible for you to send me an apk file?
I dont mind how it looks.
Hi All,
Now that most people have installed the OTA KitKat and knowing that this will be the last update Motorola makes for our phones, I thought it would be a good idea to make a collection of all the system bloatware that came with the OTA that is able to be removed safely without affecting the performance or running of the phone (either frozen or deleted for those of us lucky enough to be unlocked and already rooted). Lord knows I have been waiting a long long time to delete these apps and not just have them frozen! I'll keep a running list in the second post, hopefully in alphabetical order, as people post up any that I have forgotten about or didn't think of.
Again, this is just a list of everything that is safe to remove if people don't use the apps / functions, not necessarily things that have to be removed.
...there's nothing like freeing up memory and RAM 8)
EDIT: The hard ones to pick out are gonna be all the "com.***" ones since they're not quite as self-explanatory...

Calculator, Youtube, Live Wallpaper?

Like I said, they are removable but some people will want to keep them. Personally I keep the YouTube, but use a scientific calculator app and don't use live wallpaper.
Ah I see, I didn't think those were removable. I thought they were system apps.
You're right, they are system apps, but can be frozen and for those of us lucky enough to be unlocked and rooted on KK they can be deleted (using TiBu or some other method). Everything listed above is considered a "system app". But, the list is not comprehensive.
That's why I was looking for input for some of the more not-as-obviously-named removable apps. I know there was a list floating around somewhere, I had a bunch of stuff frozen from that list whilst on JB. But now that our phones are not going to be updated any further (and if there is a surprise update that comes to us, we can put the phones back to "stock" using SamuriHL's RSD Lite scripts), I'd like to delete them permanently.
Just an update - I was able to safely remove the all-important NFL Mobile app without hardbricking
Guys, I'm sorry to crash this thread, I'm locked and on 9.18.64. Since your all rooted and unlocked, I was wondering if anyone of you would be willing to give SamuriHl a freshly installed and rooted system dump using the safestrap method he outlines in the KitKat root tracking thread? I'd like to be a guinea pig for this one chance root experiment. That's the only missing piece ATM.

Ah, yes. How could I miss that one. Added, thanks!
Would love to help @MarcusWhite but I do not have SS installed. I also am a pretty big noob about these things, I can'do much past rooting/unlocking/custom ROMs.
Also I found another bloatware - HP Printer Service or whatever it's called.

Good call, I forgot all the wifi printer apps!
Updated the list with some others that I found as well (Email, Hangouts, Messaging, Music Visualization Wallpapers, etc.) All can be safely removed, but make sure you have another method for emailing or texting, lol
Freeze bloatware
K, I was able to freeze the bloatware using my unrooted 4.4.2.
I went into each apps settings (long press the icon, app info). Then I cleared the "Show notifications" check, Force stop, then Disable. After that the offending apps weren't showing up under the app screen.
If you go to Play store, you'll find them listed as "Disabled".
Hope this helps some, and keep up the good fight for Root access with this update.

Sigh... Please don't spam this thread with posts about root on stock KK. If you don't have it by now, get used to not having it on this phone EVER.
I have removed and disabled the google search app without any negative issues to the rom.
I don't use it as I find myself using my personal browser more than the useless google app. Plus no google now push. However, it does remove the search bar, but doesn't break the roms ability to search from an up swipe from the dock using a browser with search functions, or another search app.
You can also freeze google maps along with its companion app without issue.
You should also consider putting a list of apps not to mess with this time around. This is because a few system apps have become more vital in the rom.
For instance, Google Play Services was able to be disabled and removed without reinstalling automatically in Jelly Bean, but it can no longer be frozen or deleted as it will seriously mess up the google play store with it's recent update in kitkat.

Thanks! They've been added to the list.
The "do not touch" app list sounds like a good idea, but I was thinking of just leaving it as whatever isn't listed in post #2 shouldn't be touched

Haha. How do you like your crow prepared? Despite the fact that root and unlock is now available again for a short time, anyway, I think he was showing how there is some freeze ability without root with this update.
With that said, I can't find acoustic warning in tibu, is it now called something else? I can't stand the auto volume drop when I hook to my truck radio.
Update: nvm. Its no longer standalone. Its in android os. You have to use xposed to disable it.
Something I killed in this list removed my speech to text capability. The microphone icon is gone from the keyboard when texting. Any idea what did it?

If I had to guess, I'd say it was removing Google search that did the trick. That's when mine disappeared anyway. I rarely use the option so it didn't bother me too much. If you haven't uninstalled Google search, then you should just be able to verify Google voice typing is enabled. If that doesn't do it, you might also have to long press the button to the left of the space bar and assign the mic to that key.

OK, I'll bite. It seems I'm only able to freeze bloatware. I try uninstalling w/ TBU, but they're all still there. Since I don't see any reason to have to restore them for an OTA, I'd just like to get rid of them.
Hello. I have a couple questions about my nexus 4. It's running paranoid android newest update. It asked me if I wanted to enable recent app card stack view and I clicked yes by mistake. I was wondering how to set it back? Also my phone when playing music changes the lock screen wallpaper to whatever album I'm listening too is there a way to make it so it don't change?
If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The music lockscreen is tied to Google play music app so use another music app. And for the first question, click backup & restore in settings and scroll to the bottom. Check 'reset preferences'
