[APP] Gallery and Music Launcher for Android 2.1 - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

My brother and me created this app launcher of Gallery for Xperia X10 with FW 2.1
It is different than this method described in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826250
The X10 FW 2.1 hides the Gallery 3D launcher, so we use the easiest harmless way to fix this by creating an application that will launch the Gallery 3D.
Added app launcher of Music for Xperia X10 with FW 2.1
Music Widget not supported by this app.
In order to properly bring up all features of Music and its Widget, you need someone with knowledge of decompile, recompile and repackaging of APK.
FYI.
What i make is not a Gallery application, nor i hack or do anything with the existing Gallery. What i post here is a standalone application that acts as a shortcut or launcher to existing Gallery application in your phone.
This app works with any Android 2.1 which have Gallery shortcut hidden by manufacturer.

Nice work now i can remove mediascape

Thanks, this will make my life easier.

Thanx

You might wanna try WinAmp for your music player replacement. But i advising you not to remove/uninstall MediaScape because most of things depends on it, might cause you problem. Just leave it there, won't do any harm.
I will check to see if the phone still have the stock media player inside.
FYI:
The launcher i make is not the gallery app it self, it just a application that work as a shortcut to open Gallery, since the default app launcher is hidden by SE.

Great app cheers.

Doable, though its very limited like music. I can only make the launcher, but widget and the rest its beyond my capability currently.

Nice, it's great job

samsung galaxy s music player on DX

has anyone seen a port of this music player, it's so much better then our stock android player.

As said previously, its not so simple. Many times apps for different phone types rely On other system apps or service .apk files to work correctly.

MIUI Music installable .apk

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..

its just personal preference its android its all about choice
still prefer TTPod.. both comes with english version.

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.

Using ADW Launcher Ex, but missing some Widgets

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

[Q] Can we control the default music player from lock screen?

hello every one! can any one make the default music player have the option of control it from lock screen (next/previous/play/pause)?
i think no that's only available in MiUi..
yes we can but first we have to fix the cyanomod part in to the sysytem in the (CM 7 rc1) user interface control there is function to put music in!!
(the reason why i wanted)
Just give it time, good things come to those who wait and our devs are amazing
lol easy that we can
Send from my own MIUI Final by Oskar.K X10 .

I use poweramp and i freeze system music player.
CheersS!

phantom works with SEMC music player, now? i've tryed it a while ago and it was very buggy.
you can use milocker, golocker, or widgetlocker
the default music player widget isn't compatible with widgetlocker. Never tested the other options.
if only some dev could make it work...

Try using the new Musik player! I found it over at the donut ics rom! Download DonutICS.zip it is a flashable zip.. It is a theme for stock 2.3.3...
Now either flash the zip, if you like it of course, or extract the zip and take the new semcmusic.apk
Change permissions and paste/overwrite it into system/app
Tested with widgetlocker and works ;-)
An other good music app is ubermusic.. It has widgets too but you have to pay for it

I have player pro and it works dine with player pro, but I've grown to like the ICS music app. What would I have to name the files? And is there a specific extension? Cause I have a folder with artwork with an unreadable file extension

I had the same issue with the native Music app.
I couldn't see the covers after using Album Art Grabber etc.
But after I cleared the data of the music app, it fetched all the artwork.
So after using the art grabber, you should go to settings => apps => All => Music. There you push the button 'Clear data'. So you DON't have to do it all manually...
Good luck!

Why? There is a widget in the status bar whenever you listen to music ... I don't see a point for it . You can also look into headset controller and set the controls with double press of the button etc
