is it possible to port the HTC Music player from Sense 2.1 to a vanilla Android 2.1 such as Cannon, Open Eclair, etc?
i'm guessing changes need to be made to the build.trout and sapphire.prop files...
I'd say it is possible. Whatever works on 1.6 will also work on newer versions of Android (i guess)
But the HTC music widget is checking the build.prop and so on. Maybe that could somehow be disabled?
You can also just take an htc sense 2.1 dump
Maybe the framework from semse can be taken like it was possible in 1.5 roms?
that's what i was thinking as well. can't really do anything at the moment since i'm at work.
It's gonna be the same as the 1.5 version, framework problems and things that need to be ported, not a direct drop and edit a few text files.

I would love to have htc music app on a 2.1 rom
It's a lot of changing in the framework and then a simple push of the Music.apk file. Unfortunately changing framework from source is complex and not for beginners.
We might have better luck using the music.apk from the MT3G LE since it's very similiar (if not identical) and it already works on 1.6. Haven't tried it though.
That's the thing, you can't do it like that because of the closed source HTC framework.

From the LE yes, but from Hero, no. It's been done for a few Cyanogen ROM versions... but it's old (I think back in early 4.0 days).
I have my HTC Magic and before I upgraded I could add songs to the now playing list before the current song finished playing. So I could make a song/album play after the current one was done. After I did the upgrade to the latest ROM I cannot add songs to the play queue and that sucks.
I have tried Mixzing and I can add to now playing, but it adds them at the end and I can't move them.
Like if I have 10 songs in my list and am on #5 when I add a song it becomes #11, sometimes I want it to be #6 (Play right after the current song). I cannot change the order of the play list. On the new ROM's default player I can but there's no point if I can't even add songs to it. All I can do it take an album and add it to Now Playing, if I want to hear a song from a different album then I have to clear the list and change it to that album...
Does anyone have a copy of the old HTC Music that lets you add songs to now playing, and if not does anyone know a Music app that lets you add songs to now playing and change the order of the play queue. I cannot beleive there aren't any apps to do this, I searched the market and google for Music players and not one does this...

Hey guys, in desperate attempt to getting the FLAC files to work on my phone i would like to ask if pushing libFLAC to lib and the music.apk from CM 5.0.8 to my froyo would allow me to play FLAC?
Has anyone managed to get it working? A little advice or help here please ! THANKS !
PS: Waiting eagerly for CM's Froyo!
Given that the music player doesn't actually do the playing (it just calls into the framework) I seriously doubt it.
In general, any codec addition require changes to the framework, which may tie it to a new kernel (if the new framework requires kernel features) which often requires new drivers (that are sometimes binary blobs) etc etc.
the music player from CM 5.0.8 is the one i modded, you can find it at:
http://development.piratemedia.tv
however the flac codec is not part of the player as SilentMobius rightly said, the codecs for audio play back are in the phone framework, and as froyo source isnt currently available there not much we can do about this at the current time.

Ok i get it guys. well hope google releases the froyo like tmr! and cachinjection i love your music mod man! ITS AWESOME! maybe you could cook up smth with the video player too! cheers!
If anyone has seen this thread on android forums: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/28861-has-anyone-combined-2-1-music-app-coverflow-milestone-music-app.html
Ive ran it on my hero. No crashes, bugless brilliant, including coverflow on it.
One problem, the actual music player screen with play, next, previous buttons is good, but on our heros the buttons for play, next and previous are cut off at the bottom (landscape again is fine, with buttons and everything visible and useable).
Basically, obviously with the use of smali/baksmali, anyone know how difficult it would be to resize that music player screen. I would guess it wouldnt be impossible, becuase it appears to be purely a gui issue, its layout being designed for a larger screen.
I love the music player, and shall get theming it if i can find a fix for the portrait buttons.
cheers guys
There is an apk modifying tool somewhere, someone previously said changing resolution is easy with that.

ahh i guess you mean apktool? Ive been looking into it, but the huge number of possibly relevant smali files it creates makes it a huge task. I just guessed it would be relatively basic as it requires no modification to source code, only to the xmls that contain layout data.

What do you mean? If you want to modify XMLs, then just don't touch smali files. Or even don't decode them at all (-s switch).
ahh you mistunderstand me, or i didnt word it right. I apologise.
I looked through the xml's for anything possiblity relevant, but that kinda came up no dice, so i began looking through the smali's.
35ish xmls is ok to look through, but about 600smalis is alot. Mind you, i probably missed something somewhere, so ill take another look
Have you thought about "3" (cubed) It has a morphed flow theme that is a flipped version of the ipod touch coverflow. It is much sleeker than what I've seen in the screenshots from the droid.
Yea i tried that. it was ok i guess, but landscape in morphflow was horrible and didnt work+it refused to read ANY ID3 art and kept tagging my albums with random artwork from albums not remotely relevant
there is an easy way to resolve, get mp3 tagger or touch and hold on the album art and it will give you a local option and alot of network options. If Cubed doesn't get the right album art then the android/droid music player won't either, because cubed is just a theme/fascia for the default music player as you will see with a task manager when music is playing, that's why the widget works...
Came across the new leaked Android Music Player 3.0.336 on engadget today. Thought I'd try it on my captivate installs and runs, seems to lag a tad sometimes but runs otherwise. I'm running Serendipity 6.3
There's some info here: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/05/download-new-android-music-play-3-0-336/
Also below is the apk attached.
it seems to work pretty well. Just wish it worked with touchwiz's lockscreen and pulldown controls
My Conclusion
I suffer no lag and my info on all my software is below but i am overclocked to 1200ghz that might be why it isnt laggy for me and also i tried the new gallery apk from the same site and it didnt work but i didnt feel like trying it but maybe you could use root explorer and paste it in the system/app folder and move the stock one to the sd card to see if it works also if u wanna remove the stock music app and put that music app in its place do it the same way i just mentioned
im trying the new camera from the link as well

So, I am running ParanoidAndroid on my GN and its f'cking amazing, but...
Something that I miss very, very much is the stock music player!
I have a lot of music and my twisted mind likes to create and organize playlists in a certain way and this is where I'am getting frustrated...
Samsung stock music player has a magical option which I cannot find, or I'am just to stupid to find in every other music player I tried
After creating playlist by selecting that playlist it shows all my music and that magical options-- ADD MUSIC, and then option to select all or just a few via checkboxes!!
I dont care abaut equalizer and all that other stuff, I just want back that simplicity!!
Please help- call me stupid, show me light, recommend me app that can do that- just HELP!!
Here is what you are looking for...

Check out post 9 and 10.
Thanks, tried it but thats not it!
I have to add songs one by one. I did found thread which states basically that I cant get what I want because someone has to port apk from /system/app because its linked in samsungs Tw framework and will not work with aosp rom no matter how i push it!
Or something like that...
Wish that i can provide link to thread but cant find it right now(working)!
If I got something wrong abaut this, KILL ME, I'AM A NOOB

LMAO, don't think your a NOOB if you can flash your phone with a custom ROM. Any ways have you tried creating your playlists on iTunes or WMP and just exporting the playlist to your phone

was hoping that it wouldn't come to that, guess I was wrong
Anyways, thanks very much for helping,
Will try to find app on the play store than can do what I want
I flashed Paranoid Android to my Note coming from JB and everything's awesome. However, I too, really miss my stock Samsung music player. Did you in any way find a solution?
Btw, I backed up the apk of my music player using ES File Explorer before flashing. But when I try to install from it, I get an "Install failed" error. Any suggestions?
I really connect with your post because I also edit the tags on my mp3's in a particular manner which used to go really well with the stock Samsung music player.
I have exactly the same issue, everything else about Paranoid Android is amazing!!!
I have now started using WinAmp because I couldn't find a solution, but I would love to be able to get the stock music player back if it's possible or something similar
afaik, it's most likely not going to work because the stock music player relies on touchwiz framework, which paranoidandroid isn't based on.
Hi Guys.
Can anyone tell me is there a way to get the HTC One default music player to work with other devices such as the S4? I love the htc music players visuals when you press the note button and you get the 3d effects, however I dont really use the htc one as it does not work with my setup, but would love to get the player on the s4 or even an alternative from google play?

HTC One stock music player apk. This is the app you can move to your phone and install, but I'm not sure if it will work on other phones or not. Make sure you install it to system/app as it's a system app. Hope this helps.
I am not sure of it( because I use PowerAmp mainly), but i think the stock HTC player needs the Sense framework in order to work properly.
But you can just try out the .apk provided to see if it is working
Thanks folks, having read up it looks like you need the framework for it to work, I see they are working on a sense port to the S4, its a shame there is nothing like it on the market as I think its the best music app I have ever used and I have tried them all!
