Best music app? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running the eclair hero rom. its awesome but the music app is a bit iffy. what are the best music apps for android? it has to be fast, pretty, and well organized. a nice widget is preferred.

You are running an experimental ROM and wondering what will run better than the experimental music player on you experimental ROM?
Is this serious? If you can find something in the market that is supported on you experimental ROM then go for it.

Acer liquid
i jus got the acer liquid and its ten times better than anything that ive ever used .

Look, I only asked for opinions on music apps. I know that its experimental. I like to experiment. I really hate browsing through the market which is why I posted. To ask for an opinion on a music app. That clear? These forums are great and all but I hate when people act like they own the internet. You aren't the only one either. Every time some confused kid asks for help, someone's on his case. I'm sure that when you started playing with tech you were in that same position.
/end rant

I always found Mixzing pretty good, probably because of the large album art display. Tunewiki was good aswell but it didn't have a Shuffle button so I never really used it =/
Although in my opinion the HTC Music app is the best of them all, dunno if it's included in the 2.0 builds though?

Here try this, not as good as Htc Music, but it works. It's just the Music app from the motorola milestone dump (droid was odexed)
http://www.4shared.com/file/17236101...cf3/Music.html
terminal (Have it on your sdcard):
rwsystem
mv /system/sd/app_s/HtcMusic.apk /system/sd (It messes with the Music App)
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/sd/app_s
adb:
same as terminal, but put "adb shell" before "rwsystem"
Recovery Console:
same as terminal, but change "rwsystem" to "mount -a"

Yes and no, I used the commands to move it to /system/sd so that if at any time you can move it back and have the Htc Music back

Would really like to try that milestone music app but get "The file link that you requested is not valid." =/

yeah seems like the link got cut when he posted it, please repost
P.S.: I'm thinking about "redesigning" the default music app to make it look like the ipod Touch's player, since i really love the structure of that one, however i suck at coding so i'm not sure whether i'm able to do it

here do this,make sure u hit enter after each command
1.su
2.cd /data/app_s
3.ls
look at the list and make sure you type exactly how it is named, if the H in htc is caps the make sure you put Htc
4. rm /data/app_s/HtcClockWidget.apk
It depends on the build you are running. The previous post is correct, unless you are on enomthers TheOfficial ADP1.6. In this case, doing the above will erase it until the next reboot. If this is your build, then you need to go to the terminal and enter
su
expsetup
Choose option 15, and you will then be given the option to remove QO (among other things).

[APP] Gallery 3D - Terminal Install

I tried searching for this type of install and couldn't find it. After re-flashing cyanogen 5.0.7 stable, I lost my 3d gallery again. I'm at work right now and don't have access to ADB so I had to figure out how to install this on-the-go, without having double galleries. These instructions can be used in terminal emulator without a system reboot. Make sure to download the attached gallery.apk and place it on the root of your sd card.
Code:
1. su (allows root permission)
2. mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (make the system folder writeable)
3. rm /system/app/Gallery.apk (removes system Gallery)
4. cat /sdcard/Gallery.apk > /system/app/Gallery.apk (copies 3D Gallery to system)
5. enjoy
Help!!!

before entering the above commands, try first entering "su", then when you see the # symbol enter in the above command.
so it may look like this, not sure if will work but you can try it:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# rm /system/app/Gallery.apk
# cat /sdcard/Gallery.apk > /system/app/Gallery.apk

Can we use something like linda to install this and keep both galleries?
Yes you can have both galleries if you install using Astro or Linda but you'll get 2 identical galleries and thus arousing identification problems.

on your device it will show two "Gallery" icons/apps. You wont be able to tell which is which because the 3D one wasnt modded and renamed. So you dont have for example seperate "Gallery" and "3D Gallery" labels, you just have two "Gallery" icons. hope that makes sense. if you look around the forums, you can rip out the modded 3D gallery from one of the roms so it can run side by side with the stock gallery and be properly labeled. maybe rip it out of one of cyanogen's old roms when he had them both before he removed the 3d one.

I understand what you mean now, thanks for the explanation. Quick question though since I'm kind of novice at certain things, when you say rip out the modded one, is it as simple as opening up the zip, finding the app, taking it out, and then using Linda or such to install it beside the original? And do you know which test version it was when Cyan stopped using the 3d gallery? Thanks in advance.
Edit: I took the apk from Superbad, but it still had the same icon, do you know a specific rom that has a modded icon?
Edit #2: Nevermind, I was able to find 2 different icon-ed versions. Now just a matter of deciding which one I like most.

Not a problem, glad I could help. I actually find the 3d gallery to be faster than the legacy one for me. I have 1200 images on my phone ( I pretty much site ripped G1-Walls and put it on my SD ) and after the initial boot when it creates its thumbs and other cache files, it flies for me. Plus it looks so damn good!

I was able to get the new Voice Search and widget working, but by using the above method the hardware Search button no longer brings up anything. If you long press the button you can choose the Voice Search option, but a regular press doesn't do anything. Anyway to fix it so a regular press goes to the regular search window again?

Worked for me as well. Now, in my case the SearchBox was named "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk". As a side note, I also backed up these files before deleting them. This is how you do it, in case you want to:
Code:
**before starting [B]adb shell[/B], at your DOS command prompt:
cd <backup folder on your PC>\
adb pull /system/apps/VoiceSearch.apk
adb pull /system/apps/GoogleSearchBox.apk (or in my case GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk)
that's it. Now you have a backup copy of the original files delivered in your CM rom, in case you want them back for (I see no) reason. I'd assume Cyanogen will fix this in no time, so this is more of a temp thing anyways.

Trying to find a remapping fix to the search button. It happens only on the Launcher (i.e. Maps, browser, etc) are not broken, just the search button on the launcher.

was that the same? but nothing happened...

CM7 Flashfix (Flashvideo)

Update: fix number THREE added: Might help you, maybe...
Heyho, this has been discussed too many times already. So why am I doing this?
Well, because searching for "CM7 flash" brings a bunch of useless results. Cause, "flash" is natually used to often in ROM threads.
It would seem as if there are "fixes" floating around in the WWW. The idea behind this thread is to gather them, so they can actually be found using "search".
Flash fix number ONE:
Using Root Explorer:
force close stock browser
navigate to
/data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/
remove all permissions from "config.data"
reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Using adb or terminal emulator
force close stock browser
adb shell (if using adb)
su root (to grant terminal emulator root, if not already done)
cd /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/
ls -l (to see permissions of "config.data")
chmod 000 config.data (to remove permissions)
reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*note: If you do not see ".macromedia" folder, type "ls -a" to show hidden folders
If you are using another browser it will not be "com.android.browser" but "different browser directory something".
This fixes video playback for anything up to 480p. I could not find a fix for 720p or higher.
Flash fix number TWO:
It seems like installing chainfire 3D actually fixes the problem. Several people confirm it working, did not try it myself, though. If it helped you, feel free to confirm.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flash fix number THREE:
navigate to /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/
and change config.data to
DeviceCert=1
HeapSoftLimit=200
HeapHardLimit=240
HwH264=bp:108000,15;mp:108000,15;hp:108000,15;

If you are using another browser it will not be "com.android.browser" but "different browser directory something".
This fixes video playback for anything up to 480p. I could not find a fix for 720p or higher.
If you know something I dont, feel free to tell me, so I can update my post.

Yes.
However, some are reporting better playback with 10.x while others insist 11.x is better.
Dunno where that comes from.
use Chainfire3D and it will fix most of the problems including game gfx glitches and play around with settings to find ur own optimized settings

Certainly will try that one
Any suggestions what settings one should change?
In the other cm flash thread I think using chainfire3d was what was recommend the most and 10x flash.

Did it fix 720p playback? If not, you dont need chainfire, cause the above fix does it allright.

So you mean 720p not included? Im talking about browser embedded flash video here, not Youtube app. Ah, and again, anything specific about chainfire that makes flash work? Like a setting or plugin?

yeah 720p included
basically chainfire3d sits between kernel and actual program and do the magic there to optimize the opnengl for best results (u can also modify and load tragra 2 plugins which are pre-optimized)
this not only fix the flash playback problem but also fix the some time distorted picture in flash and many game play issues. just give it a try ull never regret it.
Hmm, installed chainfire with FP11 and it works pretty well, except for 480p. I get a distorted picture on 480p, but everything else works.
Also, I noticed that if you load a page in portrait and play a flash video in full screen, the video will stay in portrait. The only way to get it into fullscreen landscape is to reload the entire page while in landscape.

Heyho, this has been discussed too many times already. So why am I doing this?
Well, because searching for "CM7 flash" brings a bunch of useless results. Cause, "flash" is natually used to often in ROM threads.
It would seem as if there are "fixes" floating around in the WWW. The idea behind this thread is to gather them, so they can actually be found using "search".
Flash fix number ONE:
Using Root Explorer:
force close stock browser
navigate to
/data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/
remove all permissions from "config.data"
reboot
Using adb or terminal emulator
do this:
force close stock browser
adb shell (if using adb)
su root (to grant terminal emulator root, if not already done)
cd /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/
type "ls -l" to see permissions of "config.data"
type "chmod 000 config.data" to remove permissions
reboot
*note: If you do not see ".macromedia" folder, type "ls -a" to show hidden folders
If you are using another browser it will not be "com.android.browser" but "different browser directory something".

When I go into the Opera mobile directory, I can't find the config.data file.

It is version 11.
Post updated, will try it out soon. If it helped, feel free to confirm.
I think one should ask for a "Frequently encountered CM7 problems+solution"-thread in CM7 forums and also on xda.
Posted this in general a few days back. Method one worked for me and I am on flash player 10.3

I found out how to fix the video for flash player 11.. check out my post above. No need to use chainfire either, which did not fix anything for me anyway on any version of flash.

Well, 15fps seems to be quite slow. You sure you installed chainfire+drivers+plugin?
Yes I did try that. Anyway, did you test the method I posted? I didnt experience any choppiness.

No, but I will. Actually, chainfire does not work for me either. It does play, but like superslow.
Edit: Tried it, but did not help. Actually right now, even 480p is choppy. Maybe I screwed something up. Gonna reinstall ROM.
