[Q] Modifying musicwidget.apk? - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

Hi All,
Is there any way to modify the musicwidget.apk in stock 2.3.3 ROM so that it can work with ADW Launcher?
After using the new stock music player, I have started liking it too much and want to get rid of all 3rd party music players. The only issue is that the music widget cant be used on other launchers. Can we make some changes like changing the manifest file or some other code so that it will work in the 3rd party launchers?

I need to know how to modify all widgets to use them on other lunchers ..can some one help us?

yes . its possible , ill look into it tonight . can you pm me a link for the music player? also pm for further info .

ok, no go on this yet. meanwhile I have been discussing offlist with phillu97 on the possibilities and found out that there is a widget in the market called "Phantom Music Widget" which works with all stock and most 3rd party music players.
It works by emulating the headset button event. However the implementation is too buggy. Anyone here willing to experiment with the codes from Phantom widget to see if it works out for the musicwidget? I have the app and can attach the apk if someone wants it for experimental purposes.

its way too ... complicated. I just wont budge no matter what. But try widgetsoid. I'm thinking of building that from ground up, but only with the play, pause, fwd and rwd features. its sorta gonna look like the powercontrol.
unless anyone else have any ideas?

Why not re-use the skin & graphics from the existing widget? In anycase the stock widget has those 3 buttons only.

cos that defeats the whole purpose since you cant use it on other launchers

[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?

honeycomb music player .apk

Thought i would bring this to evo forums (its been posted elsewhere).
Add www and .com around android police (i'm too new)
androidpolice/2010/12/27/honeycomb-music-player-leaked-now-available-to-download/
According to the article the streaming music doesn't work but im assuming if the cm team hacked wimax they can hack this.
Awesome Bro....thanks for the heads up, and the thread. I head about this earlier today!
Here is the link to the music player...I remember not that long ago being "new"
HoneycombMusicPlayer.apk
Downloading now to play with it a bit

@verse187 yea, im running lithids gb cm build w/ stock kernel and adw launcher (which is the best 3 dollars i have spent at this point in my life) and it has not fc'ed or been buggy at all on my 45 min commute
Not to impressed with this myself
from my phone duh
It works on myn 4.95 thanks
Swyped from Eva my Mynion running Myn's RLS4.95!
why doesnt it say what music im playing on my notification bar when i pull down
@menendez its a standalone app... we dont have gps on gingerbread yet so i wouldn't expect any integration of this for quite some time... it doesn't give controls at the lock screen either
I think it's pretty slick looking. Plays music fine with no force closes on Warm 2.2. It does show up in my notification bar while music is playing, but it just says the process name.
Kinda slow on my incredible, but plays music fine. Notifications and etc is not functioning correctly in this leak though
Is it just me or are there not any options to repeat a song(s)?
Well I know I picked my phone up and it wouldn't show ANY of my music. Had to go into Settings > Application > Music > Force Stop. That will fix that
i also found out that it bugs out if you exit i=the app and put it in the background
i also found out that it bugs out if you leave the app open

If you're on CM, you add lock screen music control via lock screen controls menu.
How did you get this to work? I am on CM7 RC2 but FC's every time.

Perhaps try the latest nightly, I installed it again just for kicks and it worked for me again. Just installed and it went through, no fc's.
Does anyone have a working link to the app. I just clicked on the one at Android Police and it says it's not working anymore. Maybe if someone could put it in there dropbox and send me a link

Replacing stock clock app

I was using stock clock and to be honest missing a few things like timer smart alarm from my SGS is there any way to replace the stock app with say SGS app after all they are very similar.
Any input would be appreciated.
PS I was looking at honeycomb media player install would using similar method allow me to replace stock app?

the difference between the SGS and the SNS is that the SGS phones use the Touchwiz framework, so my understanding would be that in order to get the clock ported over you would also need the relevant section of the framework for it to even work
It's what I was afraid, is there any replacement for standart clock it's poor to say the least ok for the moment but would need to do something with it, there is a talk of porting some of TW codecs over to support more media playback.
Any other info would be apiciated
Doues anyone elese has any input?

I tried Alarm Clock PlusV2 based on your recommendation in another thread.
Doesn't work properly on my phone.
I can set an alarm just fine, and I can hear the alarm tone just fine when selecting which one to use, but when the alarm actually goes off, the sound is always so muted I can't hear it unless I hold it up to my ear. I uninstalled it because of this.
No such problem with the stock alarm clock.
that's interesting yet odd...
since it uses the system audio
or you can select from another source if you have apps like Ring Droid installed
also you can select between normal vs. gentle
then for each of those you can select between Ring Tone vs. Music
both me and my wife phone have it installed, and it's loud and clear

Yeah, it's really weird. I only use system ringtones when testing it. I almost never use and alarm clock, my internal one works pretty damn well, but if I'd been relying on this app during my testing, I would have certainly overslept.
I'm using one of the sense style clocks by factory widgets, the glass style one in particular, easily found in the market.

Alternative to shake2playnext

Is there another app similar to it which will allow me to switch to the next track while im driving so i dont have to look down, unlopck, etc..
Shake2play does not seem to work with the default player on the vibrant.. and it looks like it is not being updated..

[4.0.3] dsp manager and stock gallery

so i updated to the 4.0 leak and so far its been great but the thing that bothered me the most is the crappy EQ that comes built into google music and the fact that samsung is still using the same old crappy gallary from 2.x! so i replaced them with the stock 4.0 gallery and the DSP manager from cm9 and they work perfectly!
just use root explorer to move the 2 .apks to /system/app than reboot
oh and if you want you can disable the samsung gallery so you wont have to deal with that crappy thing
edit: so i couldn't get the stock ics camera working as a system app but you can go ahead and install it as a user app, the only problem i'm having is the video camera crashes a lot
Great thank you, I love the ICS gallery.
I was wondering also if you could find the native ICS camera app , I would love to replace the samsung one.
Thanks again

Just tried out the stock camera from my transformer on cm9 and my skyrocket went black, vibrated a lot and crashed you could try camera ics+ or w/e is called, its in the play store but its a bit laggy on mine
Edit: I'll try and get the camera from my moms atrix on cm9, I'm not giving up that easily!
Thanks, but don't bother I have several camera apps but I saw some picture of the Vanilla ICS camera app and it looked great.
to late lol
thanks, works great (except video). I really don't understand why Samsung is keeping the old version
They did the same thing when they updated the original galaxy s to gingerbread, they're just trying to get use to buy the sgs3 when it comes out :/

Thanks! will test shortly. Update: All seem to work, Some parts of the new camera app I like, others not so much, like I can't disable shutter sounds, or tell it to save to my external SD card, whats up with that? The gallery is alright, they added a nice editor with instagram like effects which is cool and easy sharing. Though they removed the contrast/brightness/saturation sliders, which I liked. Everything seems to be a give and take :/
Edit 2: The new gallery allowed me to make scrolling backgrounds work again! WOOHOO.
Any other apps from ICS worth getting? or ICS specific apps from the market?
also, maybe you'd know, anyway to theme the top notification bar to be blue like standard ICS not white/green like GB?
Can anyone get the mms apk for the messaging app?

I haven't really been working on getting more stock ics apps but I know that the movie editor works and I'm gonna try to get some more apps when I get home, BTW I'm not a themer(yet) so I can't change the status bar :/
How do I get those black and white pictures of random dots to work into something useful?
