I just "upgraded" from the 4G to the HD but I miss one thing.
The 4G native music player had a great feature missing on Google's Play, which is the standard music player on the HD. The feature selected songs similar to the one you were playing and populated a playlist (kind of like Pandora for your own music library).
The nice folks at Moto let me download a zip file with that player (music.)APK and an associated file (music.odex). I copied both to my phone. When I run the apk file, it asks if I want to install. When I say "yes," it looks like it is installing, but then after less than a second it gives me an error that says "Application not installed"
How can I install this app or do you know of a music app that has this feature?
Thanks
Root your device and move both the apk and odex file to /system/app then reboot.

This is a helpful idea.
However, is there any way to do this without rooting?
Alternatively, any suggestions for a similar music player that doesn't require rooting?
Thanks.

Most "stock" apps can't be installed normally. None from what I've seen. The only player I'd be able to suggest is PowerAmp but I don't know if it has the feature you're looking for. But the sound quality is incredible if you tweak it just right.

Is there a way to beam or remotely send music or YouTube videos to the gtab with my Droid? Want to use gtab as a media device and change songs with my Droid as if it was a remote tried a few apps but none of them do what I'm looking to do.
Object is to not have to touch gtab to change songs.
Thanks,

Yeah tried twonky but couldnt set the GTAB as the "player" when i searched for a player, i was able to set it on the gtab as its own player however not on the droid making the gtab the player.
No longer best player highly recommend Dice player for best playback with actual hardware decoding

Decent player although its surely another galaxy s video player ripped and feature packed. That said Rockplayer being the other galaxy s rip will likely copy all features found here.

It does you have to select the camera folder on SD card and will search for media files in that directory
Thanks. Best player!
Works the same as Rock Player for me. RockPlayer decodes 720p (mkv) fine but theres no audio. Regular .avis have sound
Definitely nice video player though, I'll keep it
As usual, can't play anime mkv videos without doing slow-mo. I think vlc is the only third party app that can compete with the galaxy player.

Can someone help me, I have installed moboplayer on my Nexus S and I am have a few questions.
1. When I connect my Nexus S to my computer what folder/directory should I be putting my video files in?
2. When I start moboplayer on my Nexus S, I am also confused about which folders I should choose. Also, when I start moboplayer I get "there's no SD card, make sure it is usable".
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Highly recommend using dice player for best HD playback becasue it uses hardware acceleration unlike mobo, rockplayer..ect
But to your question
you manually select what folder you want it to scan i made a folder called Movies..also dont use the one in OP its now available on the market

You were really vague in answering my question though. I am not new to computers but I am new to this. Do I have to modify (root) my Nexus for this to work?
For instance I connect my Nexus S to my laptop and can get the "removable disk (H" option in my computer. Can I make any folder within there and call it "movies"?
OR is there a specific sub folder I need to be in?
Thanks for your help.

hey
i downloaded rock player but when i play the movie using rock player the volume of the movie being played is pretty less... is there any player which is better than the rock player and which has high volume?
MX Video Player is by far the best video player on Android IMO.
It was the only player that could play 720p MKV with subtitles without any kind of lag, problems with subtitles or sound. You can also change between audio-tracks.
It also got a the prettiest interface.
just watched the MOTOcast feature in moto razr.. it looks cool.. will this thing availible for our xoom?
there is zumocast, it works with the xoom
Do u mean the apps in razr is zumacast ?
N, can the motocast connect between xoom n razr?
check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276410
you download the zumocast client on your pc and the app to your xoom and you can stream video and music from your pc to your xoom.
zumocast is made by motorola, so im thinking that motocast is the same thing, just rebranded.
will check it out. thx ! =)
Motocast is deeply integrated into the blur on the Razr. Unfortunately it isn't as simple as installing the apk. Zumocast is a standalone app while Motocast is integrated into the file manager, music app, etc.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
zumocast is way different than motocast. motocast is like icloud, you can store you personals in cloud storage and sync or download with an approved device. zumo is just a remote streamer.
Now that Motocast is on the Xyboard will we see the native app for the Xoom?

this is actually not quite true. A cloud is still not involved. You have direct streaming from the host computer. Hence why your computer must be on. The difference between motocast and zumocast is the integrated nature of motocast. Where you can see your remote files within your file manager or pictures that are remote, within your gallery, etc.

Motocast for Tablets
Having now got a RAZR, I've installed Motocast on the PC, however, I've noticed that there's now an app on the market "Motocast for Tablets", so was wondering if anyone's tried this out on the Xoom.
I would try it myself, but kindly, Motorola have locked it off to the States only, so I can't get it.
I've been browsing around, but haven't been able to find the .apk anywhere, hence asking someone else to give it a go first!
Thanks in advance,

The marketplace says that it is incompatible with the Xoom.
Shame - seems like a lost opportunity. Here's hoping there's a motocast client when they release ICS for Xoom.

Yes..... but, if you look closely it does not list the Xoom as a compatable device.
I use ZumoCast by Motorola and it works for me.
Yes that was my point really.
I went off their apps when I installed Motoprint and that was only for US printers, what's that about.
I can't see the point in the app really, I can browse the files on my network with ES Explorer and play everything fine.
If I had to browse off the web, then surely you would need good wireless anyway ?
If its for the layout of albums etc, then I understand a bit I think.
Is there any way we can trick the market into thinking we have a Xoom 2 or something? Modification of the build.prop file perhaps?

Hi,
After a little help as per the title I wonder if it's possible to play my music collection which is currently stored on an external hd connected to my home router on my N7 without the need for my laptop to be turned on etc
Using an explorer app on the N7 I can see and access the music how I want as above, but I have to manually select the folders and tracks to then play each time rather than it already been catalogued within the player?
Is there a player or an app that can do this to make my collection available please?

Yeah, sorry I didn't quite make things clear, the music is on a Lan based port via my wifi router, using es explorer I can see and play a track at a time, with the bs player suggested above I can play albums etc, but its library function is awful
I'm thinking this is a common limitation. I can see and play music on a thumbdrive via OTG, but have yet been able to find a way to play more than one song at a time even if I set the player to Random.:crying:

If the external HD is connected up to your computer, you can upload your songs to google play music, which lets you stream your music to anything that has the app installed. Install the uploader on the computer and the app on the PC, very useful and works very well over 3G/HSPA. Linked it below for you.
Google play music
Thanks, I had a look at that, but I have a crap broadband where I live and it would take months to upload my music collection

Try putting OpenWRT on it if possible, and set up a dlna server (minidlna) with your collections.
You can access them afterwards with your N7 using any dlna app you like (UPnPlay or even xbmc)
