[Q] Video Players - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

k so i installed serendipity 3.5.2 and noticed it doesnt have the video player that comes with the stock froyo 2.2 or even the eclair 2.1...
Uhh, is there any way i can get that video player on my device? I did a little searching found the apk, and tried to side load it. This is the error i got
3085 KB/s (398096 bytes in 0.126s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/to_install.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Any help is greatly appreciated . Or if there is any other video player that does a really good job. Thanks
P.S... id rather have the stock video player than any other app

Have you tried using root explorer or another root file manager to drop the apk into the /system/app directory?

uhh, ive tried an app called app installer and e file
both said i didnt have permission to copy into that folder...
root explorer is a paid app though, so i have some trouble getting it :S. Im underaged so i have no methods to pay for it LOL
Appreciate your help though

Use Super manager. Its free from the market. Just enable root functions in settings and you are good to go.

Super manager worked perfectly Thanks

Any chance you could point me to where you found the stock Samsung video player ? I want to add it to the ICS rom I'm trying, its the only player that works with 720p .mkv video's without stuttering and looking crappy. The stock Samsung video player is VERY VERY VERY good...
I think I found the stock video player apk, tried to install it on my Captivate that has an ICS4 rom on it, but install failed...
Does anyone know where an ICS version of the stock Samsung player can be found ??

Go to the cyanogen mod wiki and download the stable 5.08 nexus one image. Open it in 7zip and extract the music apk. I installed it and it works fine. I also removed samsung's sound player and music player through titanium backup and everything still works on my phone including ringtones and notification sounds

Are there by chance any other goodies that can be used from that build on the Captivate? I'm loving the music player.

Can you post a link? Also, how would I go about putting the music apk into the phone? Sorry, I'm still new to android phones
The link to cyanogenmod stable (2.1) for the nexus one is: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexus/update-cm-5.0.8-N1-signed.zip
there are a number of apps (if not all) that can be straight copied over to our phones (or any HDPI device I believe) since the ROM isn't odexed. I personally use the stock music player and the deskclock utility (though trying to use settings or the music icon on this app causes it to force close).
to put any of these apps onto your phone, either read up on how to enable sideloading/non-market apps with adb OR use the Android Sideload Wonder Machine from Android Central: http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
The music.apk file can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?lncllepwv1pr27b
again, you can remove the Sound Player and Music Player provided by samsung through titanium backup and everything will still work smoothly.

Thanks a bunch! Do I need to install cyanogenmod? I skipped that step and everything is still working fine
I just googled it, works fine for me. Much more functional, the samsung version doesn't let you explore your playlists, so I couldn't use it...
Stock works perfectly though.

no, you don't install cyanogen mod (there is no working cyanogenmod specifically for the galaxy s line yet). Simply install the apk through the android sideload wonder machine. You can pull out the apk's that you want FROM cyanogenmod and install them manually.
there are some apk's that you obviously shouldn't try with this same method (ones that are deeply integrated into the ROM like Dialer.apk or Contacts.apk) without a lot of background research into how to get them up and running smoothly (if it's even possible).
When I tried tunewiki I found it to be a little laggy when scrolling. Does the stock version have this problem on the captivate?

Get Eliot Stocker's Music Mod and Droid Shuffle. You will never need anything more.
Music.apk
I downloaded that music.apk file it was a zip unzipped dont see an apk file please tell me how to install that on my phone
@clownluv
you must be a troll...
Anyone notice something weird when scrolling through songs on the stock android music player? When I use the bar quick scroll to songs beginning with a letter, it would go to I -> O -> E
even though I'm on M or something else.
Yup it happens to me as well.
I think it has something to do with song names.

Reinstall Gallery?

Hey guys, I've tried searching around with no luck. I was working a little too fast uninstalling At&t bloatware and accidentally removed the Picture Gallery. I cannot seem to find a way to reinstall it. I've enabled non-market apps and have tried installing a few apk's from the forums but it always results in "application was not installed". Can someone please help me out?
Running stock Eclair
You can't just reinstall a system app like you would a non market app. You have to take the gallery.apk and use root explorer to place it in the appropriate location, which would be system/app.
Thanks. I had actually tried that too with the same results. Perhaps I didn't have the correct apk. Anyone have a specific version for the captivate?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You're still running stock? If so, you're gonna need to copy and paste both of these files into System/App through root explorer.
The apk is the actual Gallery. You have to unzip the other folder first!!!! Then move that file in with the apk.
That worked thanks! Yea I'm running stock. I've tried may ROMs but all the little bugs really bother me. Stock runs prefect and quite honesty, performance increase isn't very significant. Plus, I've customized it quite well to have most of the same features of 2.2+.

The Gallery 3D is actually in the market.
It's called "Gallery 3D" by Rayman50.

You're right.
In froyo fws, the scrolling in the musicplayer was a bit better but the app is perfectly adapted for the 2x.

just wondering.. what's the correct way to install this? i've never done this before.. can i just run the apk file from within the phone? do i need to place it somewhere specifically? what about those files in the meta-inf folder?
i would like to try this on CM7.2 temasek build 23
It's a flashable zip for the clockworkmod. Install the CWM via Rom Manager (Root is required), copy the zip file to the external SD, boot into CWM and flash the zip file.
You don't need to extract anything from the zip file.
ahh thanks for that.. i just tried it on CM7.2 temasek build 23 and it FC's
now umm.. here's a question.. how do I go back to the previous music player as it installed over it? do i have to reflash the ROM onto it?? :S
Thanks a lot for this
Messed my stock music app
This wiped my stock music player. Now I dont know how to get my stock music player back Im on v20L btw. Stock GB ROM.
For V20L this one here could do the trick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=825391&d=1324526066
It's the LG music player, that you can add to guestes ROM, but it should work for you as well.
how about for v20e?
Should work for V20e as well, I guess. But perhaps you should make a backup before you try...
Is there a difference between all the LG players?
I have yet to see any.
One thing for sure, I agree with Spica, I have tried plenty and the LG music player is by far the best. Simple, clean and fast.
I just wished it played FLAC files natively. And of course, that it could download missing artwork.
Is lg music player connected to framework like Samsung's?
Or I can install in any ROM (CyanogenMod)
Great
good
I think, AIMP good player for LG. Best sound!

will this work on cm7.2?

need lg thrill stock widget & Dsp Manager

hey everyone so i installed a new rom on my phone but i want its original widgets and i have been looking but the weather widget is the only on i find can some one plz give me a flashable zip folder with the music and calender and all the other thatnk you O and also can sum one teach me or show me how to put dsp manager on the thrill i have with this as well
Hey there!
Not sure about the original widgets, but DSP Manager is a bit tricky. I too love this audio control device. I used it when I originally installed Cyanogen 7 on my P925G. Was great, except now with the Gingerbread update, CM7 isn't so useful anymore.
Originally, I backed it up with Titanium Backup, but while restoring it worked, the equalizer caused it to crash constantly. So I wouldn't recommend doing that.
After a bit of digging around, I found a CWM flashable package for DSP Manager. Seems to be working great now. Check out the link below to get it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397429
Your phone will need to be rooted and have ClockworkMod installed to do it. But if it is, works great with no crashing. And makes my tunes sound great.
Hope this helps!
Thanks but i dnt get it can sum one make a video so i can see it or step by step detailed

[Q] Walkman Player on MiniCM7????

Hi, I was using gingerxperia revolution rom run on stock kernel. It was a decent rom and the music player was awesome, mainly that you could change songs by shaking your phone.
Today I upgraded to nAa kernel and minicm7 I like this rom but the music player is way inferior. what should I do
thanks
