Essential apps missing - HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers

I just received my u ultra and noticed that there's no gallery and no music player. I am on stock nougat (and in Europe if that's of any importance). Is it normal that these apps are missing?

You can look for them in apk mirror

It's normal. HTC replaced HTC Gallery and HTC Music with Google Photos and Google Play Music from HTC 10.

Thats correct. anyway i prefer third party apps for music and gallery. Google photos is very good gallery and you can also install quick pic if you want. I personally have both. regarding the music player - i prefer neutron even though it is paid. with oreo update even the high res option in neutron is working.

I don't like Mediascape

Hi all,
Is there any alternative coz Mediascape is boring and slow.
For images: JustPictures!
For video: RockPlayer
For music: MixZing
Unfortunately, in order to replace Mediascape, you need 3 different programs.
But if you really hate it, it's worth it.
I don't mind Mediascape for my pictures, but for your music and video I suggest Meridian.
I keep it for photos and videos but for music I've gone back to the stock Android music.apk. I gotta have my playlists!
Zimly looks cool too, and I just dl the latest beta from real player from the market which I will test today...

Confused. The version of Mediascape on my x10 plays all my playlists. Imports them through MediaGo, never had a problem at all.
I actually like mediascape....real player was pretty good to

Try also Tunewiki... Facebook/Twitter integration, lyrics on-screen etc.
It's pretty fast.
I don't like mediascape either, i'm testing ³ for music and is great!
Erasing mediascape make the camera useless?
Real Player Beta is good........................

Since my W810 ( > W760 > C905 ) I've never needed anything other than my phone to make a playlist. I've never needed any of SE's software (besides the actual firmware on the phone of course ;-) ) to transfer music, etc. When I'm working out or sitting in the doctor's office its nice to be able to grab a couple of songs from Amazon, make a playlist, then go back to playing a game or surfing the web.
Besides, my first exposure to Android was this forums project placing 2.2 onto the Tilt 2. The default player is pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

Ahh gottca. Can't make playlists in Mediascape...I see what you mean now.
I use an app called Just Playlists that works for me. But I hear the problem..seems odd that Mediascape does not make them inhouse.
I use Museek for music, great player. Both Mediascape and Timescape are useless.

Nope, the camera works perfect without Mediascape.
I uninstalled it and now found out, that the only problem is that I can't send my music files via Realplayer.
There is no "send file" option in Realplayer.
Apart from that, Realplayer is better than Mediascape for pictures and music imho.
For videos Realplayer can't play I use Rockplayer.
Btw:
If you uninstall Timescape you won't be longer able to use your contacts.
Clicking on a contact in the phone app does nothing.
Before I uninstalled timescape, my phone displayed the available phone numbers and I was able to click the one I want to call.
Thanks for hit on Just Playlists.
I went back to Mediascape just to show it one of my iFriends ( ) and found that it pulls up the playlists generated by the music.apk. So while its a tiny bit cumbersome it does make it more usable.
i am using this:
mixzing for music
rockplayer for videos
OR
nemoPLAYER for all (pics, music and vids)

[Q] PowerAmp on the Xoom with Album Art Question

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to say that PowerAmp on the Xoom is pretty solid app for listening to music. It hasn't been overhauled for Xoom yet but the interface works really well on the Xoom and looks rather nice. It has a really nice equalizer and the ability to automatically search for album art.
I do have a video that overviews the app. So check it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBWE-gts4vk
What would be nice if the album art it does find for my music would also be available to the default music app. Currently the found album art that PowerAmp downloads only is shown in the PowerAmp App itself. Maybe there is a easy hack or app that could be made to get this working. I'll look into this but just in case does anyone already have a solution?

i was thinkin the same exact thing. i also use poweramp and would love to see the downloaded album pics on the stock music app as well.
lost ability to see mnt/external in PowerAmp after 4g upgrade
Have any of you other PA users noticed the same? Any fix ideas? Tried installing the new PA beta,but same issue that only folders within mnt/sdcard/ directory show up.

Stock Apps?

Hello all,
I just bought an Essential yesterday (640 on swappa with the 360 camera). I noticed that there are some "stock" apps missing like music player, file manager and gallery, maybe I´ll found more later. I was wondering what you guys are using to replace this missing apps. For music I use Poweramp (bough it a few years ago, great music player), for file manager I downloaded File Explorer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mauriciotogneri.fileexplorer) and Gallery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atomicadd.fotos)
I'm using simple file manager and simple gallery
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.filemanager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery
For music I'm using shuttle music player

I really like the HTC music player. You can find it if you search xda but here's a temporary link.

They are intentionally left out, this phone is designed to offer software that only has the essential apps to function as a phone (except the Google apps google makes developers put on their devices). Which is the main reason I bought it. I'm lazy and stream music, I just go though storage if I need to access a file I downloaded.

Oh yeah I totally get this. My question was made because I hace not used any Gallery app or file manager other than the ones preinstalled on the stock or custom rom. So I just wanted to see more options
I use Google Play Music and Google Photos as my gallery. I also use FX File Explorer

Thanks for taking my post! Lol I use these exact apps as well. Asus offers a good file manager as well on the play store
Pulsar is what I use for music and QuickPic as gallery.
File manager in settings.

Play Music issues

Hi all,
After copying my music files (mp3) to my OP8Pro I can't seem to get them showing in the YT Music or Google Play Music app. Once I opened them from file manager they will show....
With over 1000 songs it's no use opening them one by one to get them showing within the music app. Does anyone have a clue how to get them showing all at once?
I did the same and on Google music they show up automatically and YouTube music it's under local files I think

Just get the best music player there has ever been on Android.
Poweramp, absolutely no equal. And of course it'll allow library editing amongst other features, definitely worth buying the pro version too, it's a great app..
