have you tried to set other music app has default in emui 3 settings?
but if you want to remove a system app here it is... (it's a common problem with emui 3 kernel)
-unlock bootloader
-flash hrt kernel
-root the phone and remove set_immutable.list
-remove any other system app with titanium backup
-reflash stock kernel if you want (set_immutable.list and system app previously removed never come back)

Hi!
Changing the default music app in the settings had no effect for me. I don't know why. Even though I changed the default app to be GPM, every time I pressed the pause button on the lock screen the huawei music player would start up...
In my opinion there should be no reason to have a setting for the default music player app. The default should be the last used. Having a default app would only work if I wanted to use only one audio player. But I like to listen to audiobooks as much as music, so I alternate between a music player and an audiobook player, and I expect to be able to control both of them. It just seems logical to be able to control the last one.
Aaaaanyway.... I was able to remove the Music player apk permanently thanks to your suggestion. I'm not sure why though. The set_immutable.list is removed permanently now, but it doesn't seem to had anything to do with not being able the music player. I might be wrong, but shouldn't the files listed in the set_immutable.list file should be only immutable? The music player apk wasn't listed, and the immutable flag wasn't set on the apk either.
Btw, I managed to remove the set_immutable.list file from recovery (CWM), there wasn't any need to flash a different kernel. But your idea helped me a lot, I would have never tought about the set_immutable file.
I was mistaken, the music player is back... It seems that this has nothing to do with immutable flags or whatever.

The immutable list is still present n the system. It will always install everything that is installed by default at every single boot unless you delete the list itself. You can find a guide in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/how-to-root-emui-3-0-t2975877

But the list isn't there. I just checked. Anyway, I'll try it tomorrow, but let's just agree on how ridiculous this behaviour from huawei. They should put their effort in creating an usable rom, not making people suffer who want their phone be more friendly...

As the linked thread states there are more ways to put back the files. If I recall correctly in EMUI 3.0 there is also one in the bootimage.
What I did was flashing the B608 bootloader, rooting, removing the list file, and then I was 100% rooted.

After upgrading to 5.0.5.2, WaveSecure crashes on startup and the Market crashes when I try to download something with "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I've tried re-installing 5.0.5.2, but it's still not working.
Did you wipe? Or maybe fix uid mismatches (or whatever it is called) in recovery?
I'm having the same issue with Power Manager when it runs on startup. Just after inserting the pin code I get an alert to force close it. It kinda sucks actually...
Cherry Rplayer (which was the only radio app I could find a liked) crashes immediately when I launch it and 'A Online Radio' crashes when I first start my phone.
60 people have viewed my post and only got like one or two replies. No one will tell me are they using the latest cynogen mod and the same thing happens to them or not? Is there anything that can be done? Is this normal? Will those apps ever work if I keep the cynogen mod?
oh and spent the whole day trying to get my iTunes to the music player. Thought it was going to be fairly easy what with programs like doubleTwist - I looked into it before I got the phone - well holy crap what a nightmare!! Besides 19 of my songs being DRM protected, doubleTwist doesnt even work that great! Even with help from programs like Mp3tag songs are still not right with a few songs showing random cover art from other songs and a whole bunch of the songs saying 'unknown artist' even though the mp3 files are clearly tagged with the right song info!!!!!!!

I had to wipe in order to successfully instal the ROM. As for uid mismatches (or whatever it is called)- is that an option in recovery? What is that for what does that do? Will I have to reflash the ROM if I use it or will I loose in any data?
Wish everyone could be a little more informative to the newbies...
I've searched but cant find any info about apps force-closing, why that happens, or what can be done to correct the problem...
I am having the exact same problem with the Market FCs every time I try to install an app. I am currently troubleshooting the issue and I'm running CM 5.0.5.
So far I've..
re-flashed Google Apps add-on -> no luck
wiped Dalvik-cache -> no luck
factory/data reset then restore -> no luck
UPDATE: fix apk uid-mismatches cleared up the problem. Thanks jsapp! Boot into recovery (I'm using Amon v1.7), select Other and you should see the option.
Thanks jsapp and travon802!!! fix apk uid-mismatches now I have streaming radio again!!

For others who've experienced this, are you using MyBackup to backup/restore apps?
Only had four or five Apps but yeah I used my backup. I think it didn't backup a few of them and had to redownload from the market...
The reason I ask is because I can reproduce this issue of the Market FC'ing by restoring any app using MyBackup with the root option turned on.
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.
Hello.
I know,there is a few questions about this,but I didn't found the solution yet.
When I want to choose a ringtone,the list shows only "Silent" option,even tough,there are some items in the folders.
The problem is also when I want to choose notification sound and ringtone sound.
Maybe it has a dependency with Media scanner,which I have uninstalled unfortunately.
Please,how should I solve this? Maybe I can install Media scanner back,but don't have the apk anymore.
Edit: the same issue with alarms...
Is this the .apk you deleted?
Media provider:

I assumed that is the one, if not let me know to check if I have it.
Hope that helps bro.

Hi,
I have had the same thing happen. I chose "Clear Data" under Settings->applications->All->Media Storage when I was trying to fix a different problem with the Music player having duplicates. It fixed that issue but seems to have taken out the ringtones and alarms. I have the German ICS Samsung update installed - can I still install the above apk to fix the ringtones?
Yesterday I have restored an old backup(CWM) and I took out MediaProvider.apk from there.
Then I have restored the current ROM and copied to system/app. Doesn't help. No media scanning after all.
So I will try to flash again my current ROM image(from zip) and then I will restore my apps. We will see.
With media scanner I did following:
- installed Root Uninstaller
- freezed MediaProvider.apk
- I was unable to unfreeze it,so I deleted that from system.
- don't really know,if the issue starts at this point or not.
EDIT:
I solved this by performing reflashing my custom ROM and restoring my apps with Titanium Backup.
Conclusion: Media scanner is important.
I updated to ICS over Kies, then restored my apps with Titanium Backup. For those that don't know, Adobe Flash Player is installed as a system app. I think something went wrong with the restore for flash player with TB, because after restore finished, Google Play notified me that there was an update to Flash Player (even though I had already restored the latest version). So I updated through Google Play.
Now my current situation, the flash player doesn't work now. However, the flash player setting icon is still present in Touchwiz. To get it to work, I have to restore it with TB, which installs successfully, even though it's treated as a system app (and at least for me, TB has always hung when trying to restore a system app).
Every time I reboot the phone or power off/on, flash player stops working and I have to restore with TB to get it working again. Checking the list of system apps after I do a restore does not show anything new - so I have a feeling TB is not actually restoring it as a system app?
1) Does anyone know what is causing this problem and how I can fix it?
2) I've pulled up the list of system apps, and the only .apk I can see corresponding to the flash player is titled "com.android.flashplayer-2.apk". Is this how it appears for those of you on stock ICS?
(I also tried removing com.android.flashplayer-2.apk, then installed it as "com.android.flashplayer-1.apk" in system apps and the problem still persisted.)

tried it. i removed the apk from system/apps first, rebooted, then installed from play, rebooted, and ran into the same issue after rebooting
For those who don't want to call google every couple weeks.
I think there are better ways of doing this but it worked for me. Any recommendations for something NOT rom specific.
\Nexus 6\Internal Storage\Android\data\com.google.android.music\files\._playmusicid
"._playmusicid" - You probably need to make a backup of this file every time a new version of the app comes out.
I tried to copy this file over a new install version after a rom change... it did seem to work.
I did the above all from recovery.
I used TiBu to reload just the apk for the app. For some reason a TiBu of this with user app data never worked
I tried it again for giggles and noticed that if you actually play some music on the new id file then overwrite with your back up it will corrupt the play music install... (just force close, delete data folder, reinstall app from store to fix)
