So far I have sideloaded
1. Genie Weather and News Widget. I use it only for weather. Nice and clean.
2. Angry Bird beta. For apparent reason.
3. Music Mod 1.6. Nice music player. Simple and clean.
4. Stock Android launcher. Simple and fast.
You may notice I like things simple and clean.
What are the apps you have sideloaded?
Wireless Tether
The (almost) daily beta of Touchdown. It's the only way to get it.
So far Sirius for Android and Music player from one of Cyanogen ROMs.

Hey guys,
I've just found two cool apps while i was looking for a music player that supports lockscreen widget. These two cool apps came by, the first one is LockGo which is a replacement for your stock screen unlocker. Cool thing I like about it is you can add whatever widgets you want to your lock screen (it's actually a launcher, but NEVER set it as a default homescreen launcher if you want to use it). You can also download other types of lock screens such as shout to unlock which i find is very funny lol. Another cool music player app to replace Mediascape is PowerAMP. I've tried many of the music players out there like DoubleTwist or MixZing and i didn't really like them. I think PowerAMP is a solid music player, you can download the trial version of it, i don't think the paid version is available yet. I love Mediascape but there're way too many flaws, speed being a major one. I'm on 2.1 now and i can definitely see the improvements, but i still find it really sluggish navigating through 200+ artists on my phone Hope everyone enjoys it I have nothing to do with the devs and both of them are free (for now), just wanted to share my good experience!
ok this is the MIUImusic.apk that was dumped from the miui rom
the difference with this version is that i have resigned it so that it can be installed like a normal application for those of us who do not have root access or for people who do have root access and are just to lazy to manually place it in the system
Instructions:
1. download the SignedMiuiMusic.apk
2. place on your sdcard
3. run the .apk via a file manager like astro
4. install and enjoy

Works on fascinate dj05. Thanks!!
Works great on nexus s. Nice music app
It even works great on the Xperia X8 of my girlfriend! Thank you!
/edit: one question: is this apk different from the Miui Music of Darkys v8?

i think its the same only the background is blue not purple.
the whole idea behind this is that all the other miuimusic downloads require root access to place the apk directly into the system folder, by resigning it, it allows people to just install it without root like a normal market type application, which i was surprised no one had done before
but yeah pretty sure its the same miuimusic build as in darkys
What's so good about this player ... I do not see any features different than the stock. Actually it seems like it has less features than the stock..

I just deinstalled the Miui Music on my SGS via SGS Tools and installed this one. And you are right! They are the same. No differences, besides of the color. And I prefer the blue one much more
And I LOVE the Miui Music Player! It looks fantastic, it is easy to use and the automatic (and fast!) lyric download is great!
I hated the stock MP3 Player on my SGS. Even Mix Zing or Cubed did not fully satisfy me. I always prefered the iPod App on my iPhone 3g.
But the Miui Music Player is just awesome (for me)!
Works great on my x10,also perfectly fits phone own blue theme!
Thanks a lot!

Any chance of a LDPI version?
Go to admit this player is stunning.
I didn't see much difference from the Stock player, then I started to really play with it.
The lyric download is very accurate.
Love the little sound bars when playing and the widget is nice and compact and even shows the artwork.
Genius...

i switched from miui to ttpod as well.
ttpod has better lyric support (bigger display screen for lyrics, can select lyrics if more than one version exists) and it can play music from a specific folder.
also, ttpod doesnt have the visualization on the play window which appears sluggish on my phone on miui player.
cons: ttpod doesnt have a widget.
Does anyone know how to get last.fm working? That is the only thing holding me back.
I like it
Works great on a EVO. I think the EQ is cool, i like eye candy
THanks for your hardwork! This is awesome.
I tried MIUI and the only thing I liked about it was the music app and the contacts/phone app.
Can I request if you have time to do the same thing with the contacts/phone app so that I can install that as a separate apk also?
Or if you don't mind. can you PM me the steps on how you ripped and signed it and I can figure it out =).
Great work!
Works great on x10

the biggest con for me with ttpod was there wasn't a now playing screen. That's frustrating beyond belief. If I select a song, then start fishing through my library, I should be able to get back to that song and album view with the touch of a button. Also, it needs to be more customizable. I hate that background.
MIUI is cool. I like it. I'm at a point now where there a few music players I like, all have pros and cons, and so I just take the smallest one for memory purposes.
user Hiko3 mentioned (and others have, as well) that: If you haven't heard, Fede's Music app is a new application from the designer of Launcher Pro that is meant to imitate WP7's zune app. It's leaps and bounds nicer than the stock android player.
Check out this player here - it's really sweet!
FINALLY A SMOOTH MUSIC APP WITH A BEAUTIFUL UI!!!
Just wish there was a widget control. It would also be nice if you didn't have to reopen the app from the app drawer every time you wanted to go back to playlists.
Its got major potential though!
Latest version here if anyones curious

Hi.
I tried using ADW Launcher EX. I like it, runs smooth, but i have 1 issue.
When i use it, i cant add 2 of the built-in Xperia-Play widgets. I cant choose "Music player" (the stock player widget), and i cant choose "Photo and Videos" (the widget with the scrollable Pics & Videopreviews).
Is there a way to enable these 2 widgets when using ADW Launcher EX?
Thanks
I know that the music player widget only works with the SE launcher.
Hm, that sucks...i like that widget.
Are there maybe some apps/widgets that do the same and look the same as my 2 missing widgets?
Well not sure about same look but PowerAMP is the best music player, its not free though but well worth the money. If you dont have a market account you can buy direct from PowerAmp website https://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer&feature=search_result You can also download a widget plugin for it.
For free ones i dont really know since i use poweramp but try these; ?
Meridian Media Player Autonomy
Winamp
MixZing
Not sure if they are any good but it seems they support widgets. Dont know about a gallery widget replacment since i dont even use the stock one lol
They look nice, but i miss one tiny little thing. The stock Music-Widget shows the title-length, and a status-bar.
I'm also on ADWLauncher EX and purchased PowerAMP and IMO I like it more than the stock SE widget anyways. In the next version of PowerAMP, you'll be able to use custom made skins for it and I can't wait for that!
Did anybody find a replacement for the Photo and Video widget? I really love to scroll through my pictures and videos on my screen so I don't have to open the Gallery. anybody any ideas?
I love the stock SE animated Weather widgets
It's the only reason I use the Stock launcher since the SE apps won't work on any others
I love touchwiz and i see we have 3.0 installed in the latest FP1 update... Where can i get rom that has 4.5 or at least 4.0 touchwiz... A stable rom please
Closest you'll get is Tweaked 2.0 with the Infinity theme.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Infinity has TW4, but it's EP4, and TW4 caused problems for pretty much everyone that ran it.
Also, TouchWiz 4.5 is just a Market app that just contains the launcher stripped of it's other stuff. It's not a real Samsung version.
Touchwiz 4.5 is not an official version. It is just the TW4 launcher hacked to work on other devices. You need to stop and read more before you break your new phone.

Oh oh... Tweak is good but it has a lot of aosp stuff... I love the music player on touchwiz and the widgets...

...?
While the browser is AOSP, that's about it. I removed the music player as it doesn't play nice w/ the lockscreen music widget (and google/play music is decent... dunno if I would consider an aosp player though, but maybe an argument could be made), and I removed a bunch of the widgets (which you can get back via the tweaktools script/utility).

I actually love the stock music player and added it back on in tweaktools because (I use the circle lockscreen) it has it's own pulldown widget on the lockscreen and controls in the notification bar that I haven't seen in any other music player. another recommendation for a music player would be great because this music player plays all of the music files on my sd card or at least in my downloads/music folder.

THe problem with the stock music player is that it eats battery like there is no tomorrow (or the rest of the day). In my experience it keeps the CPU at the highest clock speed, while the AOSP music player (available on market) sits at 200mHz-400mHz.
really? I never noticed that (although battery drain was obvious) but still no other music player has the play/pause in the notification pulldown. n7 music player has them but they dont work for me
