Touchwiz music app

Is there any way to get this whole using comm rom? I loved the controls in the notification bar

You can push the Samsung TW music apk into system/apps folder with root explorer if you know how to do so. You must remove the existing ASOP music apk out of there first. You may want the copy it to your sdcard for backup first.

Here is the apk http://db.tt/CqMdGtT

you can grab the flashable file from SuperClean forum, thats what I did. Any of those flashable files still work.

ah, yes i believe they are

So just flash the music player Like I would anything else? And I don't need to delete aosp music if I do it this way?

It depends what version of clockwork you have. The amend will not flash through cwr 3. You can try but I dont think it will work. You need and edify tw music zip for 3, or you will have to push it I believe.

I also noticed it said it was eb01. If I have ed01 is that ok?

I think so. It's just the stock Samsung music apk. I have done it before, I am on EC01. Just make sure you have a backup of the ASOP music apk on your sdcard incase you have to put it back in system/app.

Didn't work... it flagged and installed ok. But when I booted up it was as nothing happened.

Huh idk. It has worked for me before. Did you reboot after you put the apk in system app? Somebody will have to make it a flashable edify patch zip then, I am not sure how to do that.

Steel blue theme comes with it, i believe, if that helps at all

Ok sorry I'm new to this. When you say " push" to system/ apps. What is that? And is there a special way to delete aosp music?

When I say push, I mean copy and paste apk files into system/app folder on your phone. You need to do this with the root explorer app in r/w (read write) mode. You will see the other music apk in the system/app folder.
In root explorer (make sure it is set as r/w)...
1. copy and paste the tw musicplayer apk into the system/app folder on your phone. Here is the apk file http://db.tt/CqMdGtT
2. copy the music apk (the one we are removing), and paste it to your sdcard somewhere. Now you have a backup of it.
3. Go back into system/app folder and delete music apk. You should now have only one music apk in that folder, the TW music player apk.
4. set root explorer back to r/o (read only)
5. reboot, when it is booted up you should now have music player in your app drawer.
*Warning this only works with certain apks. If you delete certain system files from system/app folder it may screw things up. Always have a backup of your system through clockwork before you push things.

I have done this numerous times with this app & others as well and I had this same result. Copied it into system/app, rebooted, still no stock music app. On previous roms the removal of the aosp music app has not been necessary for me in order to use the stock player. But its not working on comm.rom1.3...

Idk, it works for me on com rom 1.3. I pushed tw music, touchwiz launcher, and tw friends widget. Did you mount as read write before and reboot after? Maybe a theme is preventing it.

Glad this method does still work. I use AndRootFile as a file manager and it mounts r/w automatically when you select to run it as superuser. Followed the same process that has always worked for me and it does put the apk in system/app, it just never loads an icon in the drawer or opens.

[Q] Installing via Astro

Hi, I downloaded the Cosmic Flow live wallpaper and put the apk file onto my SD card. But when i open the file in astro, there is no install option. I tried downloading wallpaper from several different sites but none of them work. Any ideas? This method has worked for me previously.

Maybe your "PackageInstaller.apk" is missing/corrupted. It's the app which installs non-market apps.
It's explained here -->
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones

make sure you have enable non-market apps>click the apk which you want to download>click "open app manager">click "install"
if you cannot install an app like this then i dont know watch goin on....

Yes ,so finally you found the root cause of your problem - missing file
I strongly suggest you flash a new ROM.
Else , download your ROM once again.
Copy the Package installer app from the downloaded ROM file and place it into /system/app

guys why when i put an app in system/app it doesn't install it automatically?
even after the reboot, i have to install it manually...

Use something like root explorer and paste the apk in /system/apps DONT INSTALL!

ok here is what I would do
http://androidcommander.com
download this file, connect your phone with adb debugging enabled. This program will find your device, from there you can open an extracted rom browse the rom until you find the HTC TV app and install it as a system app,
I did this for my evo 3d when devs took out the 3d widgets I used.

no if you double click the apk file for HTCTV another window will open, when you click install a third window will open and the last option is install as a system app, select that one and click install
this will chmod the app file as 777 allowing it be executed. I think your system is not set as rw and only as ro.

Neat app. Followed the instructions went exactly as you described, install was "successful" but nothing shows up in my app drawer. Rebooted to see if that would fix, still no dice. Im beginning to think downloading the full rom will be the best idea. If i do, would i need to wipe? I know i should wipe if going to a different rom but in this its the same rom.

Try moving them into /system/app and then restart. If they don't appear in the app drawer then I guess try going into /system/app and installing the apk.

I tried both. Moved the apk and odex files into system/app and restarted. No luck.
I tried to install the apks and it goes through the install process but then says "application not installed"

Omg. Look what I've done. I apologize. D:
I guess the next step is to install KIES and plug your phone into the computer. I should surely tell you the software version. If you're still on MI9 then you have it made because an ODIN exists for that. If you're on MJ5 perhaps someone with more experience than I can chime in on how to flash stock.

How can I find out what version I have if I cant get into settings?

I completely forgot about that. You are right.
@Tenacious--M you need to change the permissions to rw-r--r--. I use root explorer to do this. At this point it may be futile but it's worth a shot.

Follow these instructions exactly. no one guided you in detail.
1) Open root explorer if those apks are already in your /system/app folder, press R/W at the top and it will become R/O.
2) Now go to those files you are trying to install. Long press on them and select permissions. Then check all 3 boxes of the first row (READ) and only the 1st box of the second row (WRITE) and no boxes of the third row (EXECUTE). This will make your permissions rw-r--r-- as mentioned by the previous poster.
3) Now press the R/O at the top so it becomes R/W and reboot your device.
That's it. Your system apks will auto install themselves upon reboot. You never are supposed to press install within the system folder, which is why it wasn't working for you in the first place.
