[REQUEST] Galaxy S Music Player

Hi everybody,
Can it possible to make a port of the Galaxy S Music Player and if it possible his equalizer ?

+1 here
equalizer is something we must also hv!

I have had the AT&T Nexus One since March and I just got the Samsung Captivate and I got to say the Music App is by far the best Music application I have seen on Android. The Samsung Captivate and Galaxy S TouchWiz have surprised the hell out of me as I thought I would hate it, but it has grown on me and I really like it. Between the Music App, Notifications Bar, Contacts, and Phone app I really like it. I am getting used to the application drawer as well. I am not a huge fan of the iPhone like side scrolling so I have always had it in alphabetical order. If you get the chance to get a Galaxy S do it.

here ya go!! straight from my captivate. lemme know if it works!

Doesn't work straight, as expected. Will need some porting.
I am no dev, so idk what to do now... hopefully someone will take it upon themselves to port this wondrous application.

Im headed out for the weekend so i'll point u in the right direction..
Download apk manager. Try resigning the apk n installing. If doesnt work try removing any shareduid from manifest.xml n then try. Most prolly it'll have a shared library. find out wht it is and bring that over from the galaxy.

there was also a MusicPlayer.Odex file, any clu what that might contain?

[Q] Galaxy S apks on the Galaxy Tab won't work?

Hey guys,
I tried installing Galaxy S apks from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712594 on my Galaxy Tab, but it keeps saying that the app was not installed. Any ideas as to how you would go about solving this??
I really do not like the browser/contacts app on my tab, and it'd be fantastic if anyone knew how to use these apk files and get them to work on the Galaxy Tab....
Thanks in advance!

Not all sgs are compatible with tab... As for browser try skyfire or opera or any other from the market? At present contacts-1.0 from sgs wont work on tab as it runs contacts-2.2 by default.
I have both sgs and tab if you need any default apks

i use miren (*sp) browser, by far the best imho

Both miren/dolphin are a lot slower than the stock browser in JMC.
Flash a better rom, solve your problems. Read carefuly though but its easy and its 100% improvement in general responsiveness of UI and all apps.

[Q] Apps safe to remove/Freeze?

I am coming from the SGS Fasciante, so am quite familiar with all this flashing and stuff...but I just (FINALLY) got my upgrade to the SGS3 and I wanted to make sure of a few things before i go messing around.
I have rooted and unlocked and installed recovery...root works fine..even AdFree app works...
Using pure stock rooted..no rom has been flashed...Android 4.0.4 IMM76D.I535VRALHE
I remember reading somewhere that this phone now has some checker built in that will give an error that "Unauthorized software detected"...or something...if you modify the os too much...
Is this still true...? I want to remove or freeze the crap apps that come with the phone, but don't want it lock up the phone on me...Is it better to delete the app, or use a freeze program...any suggestions?
What about OTA updates with this phone?...do I need to be concerned about that... will it one day just deiced to update and i loose root etc....
Also, I flashed the DSP Manager.zip i used on my Fasciante..and it is working..most of the time...doesn't seem to affect Amazon MP3 like it did on the Fascinate...DSP Manger also won't stay on a lot...keeps reverting to stock sound quality....keep having to start stop player app and tweak DSP app to get it to tun back on...any ideas...?

You should only get the "unauthorized software detected" message if you attempt to flash a custom kernel (Or ROM that contains a custom kernel) when you haven't unlocked your bootloader, the latest version of ez unlock (1.4 I believe) will tell you it unlocked the bootloader and flashed a insecure aboot. Check out this guide and this guide for apps that are safe to remove or freeze on your phone (If you think you may need the app again sometime just freeze it rather then remove it that way if you need it latter you can unfreeze), also pay careful attention to the guides and make a backup before removing or freezing any apps. I personally use Titanium Backup for any application freezing or removing needs. If your running the stock Verizon ROM and your rooted there is always the possibility of them pushing an update along that breaks root (Fortunately you can restore a CWM or TWRP backup when you did have root, or use odin to restore the factory image). Further more, an awesome app by the name of OTA RootKeeper allows you to keep root even if Verizon issues a OTA update. I'm guessing DSP manager and Samsung's music player equalizer options may be interfearing with eachother causing the issues you mentioned. Technically this version of DSP Manager is for the international GS3 but it should still work on our Verizon version (As always make a backup before flashing anything). Plus not all parts of the Fascinate DSP Manager zip may be compatible with the Verizon Galaxy S3 once again causing you random problems. Well hope I helped let me know if you need more help .

About DSP manager...work fine in all players..including the Samsung player for flac files..but not for mp3...I did find winamp player works perfectly though with dsp manger I flashed..will have to try the one u linked to...
Edit: no change..appears to be the same zip...o well..winamp player for me...not as nice as the Samsung one...but...yea..want the better sound...

I agree, while the Samsung music player has a couple cool features and awesome UI most of the features seem kinda gimmicky like the sound alive settings, like you said I personally would stick with winamp, which is still a realy soild music player and the great sound and customization of DSP manager.

Yea..now that i can transfer my media player to the SGS3, my Fasicante officially gets retired..
There is only 2 other things with he SGS3 I am annoyed with at the moment:
Email and Gmail apps are ugly white versions...(special Touchwiz version I assume)I am not sure if there are blacked out versions of these for stock...I tried adding in the Email and Gmail .apk I was using from ICS for the Fasciante...but it wouldn't work....may just need to find another app from the market...
There doesn't seem to be any settings to adjust the toggles on the notification drop-down....don't need some, and want to add brightness toggle.......

You should considering rooting your phone and installing CM 10 or AOKP they both have customizable quick toggles and inverted gapps for gmail and you can get regular inverted email too.

flash a custom touchwiz rom such as beans and there should be a quick panel settings in your app drawer to adjust the toggles. Same thing for aosp...also you know where there is a guide wink wink if you need any instructions for rooting,unlocking, and flashing!

I probably will...eventually...but I want to keep stock as much as possible...maybe once the final release of JB for this device is out...and the bugs are worked out.

Use titanium backup to freeze ur apps... Great program, should be mandatory for root users and ROM flashers (imo) . As far as what to freeze, general rule of thumb, dont freeze anything that starts with com or has andy the android as the icon. Be careful freezing any launchers and definately make a nandroid backup prior to any freezing.

I was looking for this thread yesterday. I went looking for a comprehensive list that I knew existed but couldn't find my way back to this lol. This was in the Jellywiz thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31545527
Not my list, and I haven't tried everything to see what kind of results happen on what so play at your own risk and I would suggest backing up every single app you remove.

Cyanogenmod for Galaxy Note 10.1

Hi all,
I recently got my self a Galaxy Note 10.1 and I'm interested in rooting it and putting Cyanogenmod 10 on it...but I'm not sure on what will happen with the features like the s-pen. What are the pros and cons of Cyanogenmod on the Note 10.1 - do you advise it, not advise it, have you tried it, what did you think and are there any videos showing the difference between Cyanogenmod and stock touchwiz on note 10.1?
Thanks and sorry for the long winded question.

Hi,
I'm not an expert but I did try Cyanogenmod once it worked great, the only thing that it's not working for me is, the HDMI out cable.
So I flashed back to a rooted stock ROM
I didn't check that they make this work yet after I restore my older ROM
the pen and everything else was working great.
hope this help a little bit

Everything will work better than stock, but you lose a few features. SPen still works, but you lose the SNote, the Peel remote function, tethering has some problem at the moment password does not work, you lose the photo grabbing feature. Lose polaris office. Nothing happens when you take the pen out. My PC does not recognise it anymore for some reason now. But it works on another PC. Something when you type it makes mistakes. Sometimes charging icon freezes, it crashed a few times already. You lose the manage connected device when tethering.
Now the better part, it's a lot faster and snappy, bluetooth is much better, connects much faster. Equaliser does not crash anymore, even via bluetooth. All the apps that was getting the "package invalid"error, is gone. Skype now works, did not on stock. I am happy with the compromises so far.

I am also interested in Cyanogenmod but havent tried it myself on a tablet.
Can anyone confirm which of these features one would lose when flashing CM10.
Will Spen pressure sensitivity and palm rejection work? that is quite important to me.
I have the N8000 which has telephony and sms ability, does CM10 support it?
I have started 'weaning' myself off most of the stock apps and some features to see if I can live without them.
I've stopped using:
Quick apps and the feature when removing stylus (Don't miss it)
Stock Internet (replaced with Chrome)
Stock Gallery (replaced with Quickpic)
Stock video player (Use quickpic)
My Files (replaced with Solid Explorer)
Snote (Snote sucks there are hundreds of good alternatives)
Music Player (Stock is actually very good, I see Opollo is available in market now)
Video Player (I use quickpic)
Some of the features that I do like and use from stock are:
Screen snapshot
screen snapshot with quick editor (press and hold snapshot button, i use that editor alot)
Peel Remote
Samsung app Store
Polaris office
Video Maker
Camera
Contacts
messaging
Phone Dialer
Gapps
Can anyone confirm if those apps/features are working in CM10, or if CM10 has its own version or other better alternatives in the market.
*eagerly waiting to press thanks button*

My note 10.1 is coming today, got any tips on how to root it?
Is there a toolbox?

Tried it but went back to stock. I would suggest waiting for stable release. One issue that stood out when I tried it was touch input wouldn't register sometimes such as tapping near the time to bring up settings.

for the galaxy s2 there is a multi window mod. Maybe we coud install it also on our tab 7+. because it has the same exynos chip.
i could´t test this because for my wifi only tab 7+ is no jelly bean yet.
but if it does not fuction maybe a dev can port it also to the tab 7+.

+1 for this. Although apps like Overskreen, Floating Browser and etc exists, it would be great if it was integrated to one app(MultiWindow).

Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives?
Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives that people/Devs are preferring?
I like the Multiwindow function on my S3, and would really like to see it or something similar on a Galaxy 7" tablet. I want to use it to run a GPS routing App & a Music App at the same time, while running WaveControl in the background. It works great on the S3, but I feel that ~half the screen is too small to be used well for GPS. So, I have had a GT+ for a while, but sold it until I can find which of the two (GT+ or GT2) will get MultiWindow or similar.
I have seen the Overskreen, but that's Browser only. I've seen the floating Apps, but that seems to be specific Apps, and part of the main App gets covered up by the floater. So neither seems to be able to replace Multiwindow, unless there's a way to make any App a floating App.
Any thoughts/ideas?

All your options are really not going to happen, but one day, in the future, after we get full stable releases for more models of the 7+, someone will port over the multi-window stuff that is form the Note 2 / S4 that is in custom ROMs for the S3. Lets get stable stock ROMs for all the G+ models first
.Android currently is not built to handle floating window, its a real hack just to get a browser to float.

Alright, sounds good. I'm hoping that we do get multi-window when the stock ROMs are fully fleshed out. I was also trying to gauge what ROM developers were going for, whether Multi-Window or Floating Apps were more relevant to them. Supposedly there was one ROM that had Beta multi-window, but the developer seems to have dropped that in favor of the floating option. I just don't see it as a viable replacement, at least not yet.

Apart from my 7 plus tab I own a Samsung galaxy grand that has 1 gb of ram and a 1.2 ghz double core processor (like our 7 plus), and it has multi windows option out of the box (jb 4.1.2), which means that it's doable for our tab. It's a matter of editing the main flashbar.apk, and some framework files.
Easier said than done, yes, I know...:silly:

I just pulled the main flashbar apk and the multi windows related frameworks and permissions from my galaxy grand and pushed them into my tab (p6210 running pa 3.15).
I rebooted, the apk installed, and I saw on my task manager that it was on, good sign.
But (there is always a but) I had nothing to trigger it. On the galaxy grand there is a multi windows icon next to the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc icons on the status bar, but obviously no such icon on the tab.
To get one such icon one needs to edit some jars in the framework folder, and maybe the system ui apk as well. I could do it if I had plenty of time (because I'm still relatively new to those things) but unfortunately I don't have much time in the moment.
If anyone wants to do it just tell me and I'll upload the files here...

Thanks for trying! By the way, the ported multiview on my Sprint Galaxy SIII is activated by holding down the back button. Could you try that? I don't know if it will work since on the S3 it is basically a hardware button, but just in case.

I tried, without much hope because I'm on pa 3.15 and as you may know the multi windows app works only with the TW framework (pa doesn't use TW ui). And guess what, it didn't work. I tried as well to trigger the app with smart taskbar, multi windows manager and a couple of other apps but nope, no fun...
I had a closer look at my galaxy grand and in some drawable folders I found the multi windows icons and triggers. One would need to add these files to the G plus systemui.apk and framework.apk, and add/remove some lines to some jars and stuff.
It's doable and I probably could do it, but I won't, for the sole reason that I own a p6210 and that jb hasn't been released for that model yet, sorry...
If you know how to decompile/recompile then try this, it works on the S2 and it may work on the G plus:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024227
But don't forget to do a nandroid back up before, in case something gets messed up...

Maybe this is working on our tab

Its not a full rom just a flashable mod but u do have to be on a DEODEXED version...it is completely safe just makes it easier to change theme & mod but as always please read the instructions carefully and be sure to backup your device before flashing. Since I'm assuming u own a P6200 then u will need the original MC3 firmware as well as chrisrotolo's deodexed MC3 zip installed before u flash the multi window mod. Yes, tethering works & the phone function does too BUT u may have to download another dialer from the play store(i'm using ex dialer & contacts) if the samsung phone app wont open
