I am running Andromeda 1.1 (Froyo 2.2 from Armani Cap) and the music player sucks balls compared to the one I had with Eclair JH7. Anyone got the apk for that player? I really liked the carousel view in landscape mode. Thanks.

Sure. Let me get it for you in a sec. Hold tight.
EDIT: Here you go - Musicplayer.apk

Thanks, man, much appreciated.

Just tried installing this and I get a message saying this is a system app and am I sure I want to replace it. I click yes, it starts to install then I get a failed to install message. Do I need to uninstall the stock player first? I can't believe how crappy the Froyo player is compared to the Eclair one.

It will always fail if you just try and install it. You have to use a file manager like root explorer and place it in system/app and it will work just fine. You can not overwrite a system app that easy most of the time.

Hmmm....I copied this apk and the MediaHub apk into the same folder (Downloads) on the device. MediaHub installed fine. I'll try your method, but how will it create an icon in TouchWiz by just putting it into that folder?

It will overwrite the previous version. If it doesn't work for you right away, do a reboot and you should be good.

I said yes to overwriting, but it still fails. I went and purchased root explorer, moved the apk to data/app, but I have no way to start the app because there's no icon in the app drawer for it. Rebooted several times. If I go into Settings>Application>Manage Applications and click on ALL I see Sound Player in the list with the familiar icon I remember, but all the options for it are grayed out.

refer to above quote...it's a system app so you need to copy it to /system/app not /data/app

Doh! <fp> Worked like a charm. Thanks! Don't know why the Froyo Music Player is so lame. The Eclair player has built-in EQ, disc view, 5.1 sim with wired headphones and a much better GUI. Go figure.

[Q] Missing Dialer 2.2.2 (phone.apk i think?)

Hi
I accidently removed dialer 2.2.2 from the device using Titanium Backup, and i need to restore it in order for my phone calls to work.
I tried downloading some froyo Phone.apk but i cant install. It stops fast and syas "Application not installed" when i click it.
I put it in /system/app/ using adb. I didnt work either to install it through adb. It said cannot find file.
I need a original copy of Phone.apk and maybe some explanation of how to install it as it were before i removed it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960374 has a complete dump of 2X global version. You can find the dialer in there.
There are several threads about the joys of reinstalling system apps (usually ppl killed the launcher) among them are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992945
EDIT: next time freez in stead of uninstalling... frozen apps will be restored by a simple factory reset. uninstalled won't.

Thx I am downloading and hoping it will work with the original Phone.apk

it should work.

I downloaded the package and pushed the Phone.lnk to the /system/app/ directory. After that i went to a file browser on the phone and tried to execute the Phone.apk file.
It came with the same message. Do i need to install through adb or hard reset?

You don't need to install apk when putting in /system/app.
Copy apk to sd, download and install rootexplorer copy apk forom sd with rootexplorer go to system/app push button “mount R/W“ paste apk and reboot the phone. Done

Well isnt that the same as using adb.
I have the Phone.apk from the optimus 2x dump in the /system/app/ folder now, but i doesnt fix the problem. It doesnt seem to get installed when rebooting.
How can i see if its installed. I checked Titanium Backup, which still shows the Dialer 2.2.2 grey with strike-through (Data backed up, with no possiblity of restore).
How do i force it to "reinstall" upon reboot.

I tried restoring a widget that i removed, and that worked, so maybe the phone.apk is installed after i pushed it to /system/app, but something else is wrong.
What could be the problem? Missing data or something, which i need to restore somehow?
Isn't there a way to reflash the device with original rom?
Any ideas?

I downloaded the Global System.zip from this forum. I successfully went to the android recovery menu on the phone. I can choose to update the phone using System.zip on sdcard.
Is that the way to go?

have solved the problem?
Is possible to edit the phone.apk? the stock "incall" app is simple orrrrrrible

i too am missing my dialer app. whenever i touched the phone icon it would crash and go to home screen i thought if i uninstalled it and reinstalled it with titanium pro it would fix it. but it now wolnt let me reinstall. ive been searching the forum and trying different ways to fix the issue but nothing is working so far ... how can i get this is work?

Phone.apk
Did you guys figure this out? I installed

Deleted Phone.apk from my Dell streak
I had done the same thing, deleted phone.apk, settings.apk, and contact.apk.
I found a new update on the internet that has ICS look and feel so I deleted the apks my self trying to copy the new ones. That was it. the phone did not stop crashing FC and I could not do anything no matter what I do. Finally I had to do a full factory reset and everything was fine.

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.

Firstly make sure the internet.apk is compatible to your os. I mean if you put the Internet.apk for ICS in Gingerbread it wouldn't work. Secondly you have to paste it in /system/app and not /system/apk. Thirdly the permission is rwx,r-x,--x. After this reboot you device. That ought to do it

its compatible with my os as i have taken backup before uninstalling,
and its was mistake, i pasted it in /system/app only not apk.

If you have already taken the backup before uninstalling, you just have to restore it. Its as simple as that. What kind of a back up did you take- Titanium Backup or CWM?
