Hello All,
yesterday i installed Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 on my Sensation.
Overall, it was going well, except for the music player that was always force closed everytime i tried to play music.
My bad, i accidentally uninstalled the Music App from my phone. I tried to restore that, but i can't figure out how to do it.
Then i tried re-Flashing the ROM. Before reFlashing, i backed up all data on my phone using ClockworkMod. After i flashed the ROM, the music app returned. After that, i restored my phone using backup file i created in CWM before.
After Restoration complete, i cant find the music app just like when i deleted it.
I guess CWM backed up all the data and my phone's state including all the Apps and Sense UI.
Anyone can help me restore my music app?
thanks
A Clockwork mod backup totally backs up a rom, bit for bit. If you restore a CWM backup, you will lose any currently installed rom setup. Just take the Sense Music apk out of a rom.zip and drop it in /system/app using Root Explorer. Then reboot and you're probably set. Make sure you set the app's permissions to RW R R or it won't work (all doable in Root Explorer).
i have pulled two files from Rom.Zip :
com.htc.musicwidget.apk
htcmusicenhancer.apk
and put them in /system/app folder.
I Also set the permission too and then restarted my phone.
But i still cant find music app, did i miss another file?

I'm having a serious issue with PowerAmp app. My settings are getting reset to default every time the program is completely closed (either by a task manager or after a reboot). Not only that, the change log and Thank you popups come up every startup after the complete shutdown. Pls help resolve.
On contacting the Dev, he says its a UID mismatch issue and it can be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the program. However that has not fixed the issue.

Strange, I'm using the PowerAmp app and I don't experience this. Have you tried contacting the Dev again about this?
Have you tried downloading it again and then installing it?
One possibility is that when you re-install it you are restoring corrupt settings back onto your device.
Have you tried a hard reset/factory reset then installing it again to see if it works?
It's working now. I used root explorer and navigated to the dbdata folder. Then I deleted the folder corresponding to Poweramp. Since then settings are not getting reset every time I end the app using a task manager.
None of the above works for me:
- uninstalled PowerAMP
- uninstalled PowerAMP Full Version Unlocker
- Deleted sdcard/Android/data/com.maxmpz.audioplayer directory with Super Manager
- reset the phone
- installed PowerAMP
- installed PowerAMP Full Version Unlocker
Same problem! Any ideas?

You will need a file explorer like root explorer since you are rooted. You got the wrong folder. You have to first uninstall full version. Then go to dbdata folder which is above the sdcard folder. Go to the power amp folder and delete the shared peers file. After that reinstall power amp it should be fine..
@mithunjo - you are so right! Super Manager was not it, Root Explorer did it. Thanks!

im having the same problem with power amp. however i couldnt find the folder "dbdata".i evn tried to use the search feature in root explorer to locate the folder but no use!. any suggestions?
im using sony ericsson official 2.1 firmware 0.24 and am rooted
same problem here... will try... thanks!
The dbdata folder is above the internal sdcard folder. In that delete the preferences file in the power amp folder which goes something like maxmp.player..
If you don't want to spend money for the 'Root Explorer', like me, get the 'Terminal Emulator'. It's free, and will give you a terminal interface. Open the app, press the menu button and choose the option to show the keyboard. The following commands will 1) give root permissions to the app and 2) delete the settings folder of PowerAMP:
su
rm -r /dbdata/databases/com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Thats it. The folder is gone. In my case I had to deinstall poweramp before this procedure, and reinstalled afterwards. Finally I can use PowerAmp again.
I've also had that problem (Galaxy S with Darky 8.0 (JPY) ) and deleting dbdata\databases\com.maxmpz.audioplayer helped me. I didn't even have had to uninstall and install PowerAMP.

Tried deleting only the folder with RootExplorer without uninstalling and then reinstalling PowerAMP.
I'll see if this is enough.
I have a rooted htc Inspire running CyanogenMod nightlies.
I have used RootExplorer to look for dbdata and have not been able to find it. I've been through every file with RExplorer and have also used it to search for the file. Both ways I have come up empty. Am I missing something?
And I did read the enitire thread first
Thanks for any help.

If I go into /system/app the apps I've "frozen" with Titanium don't seem to be renamed or altered. So how does it disable them?
Im asking because Id like to get rid of Titanium backup, I don't use any of it's features other than the freeze so would be better if I could just do that myself..
I'm not sure, I haven't ever frozen an app with titanium. What I can tell you though, is that if you go into /system/app and move apps out or in, android will automatically note these changes. This means that you can blow out anything in the app folder and it will be uninstalled from your device. Be careful though, if you remove something you really need for your phone to run, you might have problems. I'd go for a nandroid backup first for this reason.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I could put the question another way..
Can anyone recommend an app to manage/disable unwanted apps to save having to go in and find/rename apks manually?
Just an update for anyone with the same problem, found the answers on the following threads:

Requiers root and USB debugging on!
App freezing requires to use the integrated 'pm' tool which hangs when debugging is off!
In any case you can check the app System Tuner which freezes apps very easily:

I frozen com.android.music.apk (Stock music player) from my Galaxy Advance with Titanium Backup. When I wanted to Defrost Titanium Backup tell me that app has been defrosted, but the app stil frozen, navy color in Titanium Backup. I tried 10 times and don't defrost. Next, because I have backup of this app I have uninstaled with titanium, and now trying to restore it. But titanium tell me "Restoring..." and don't restore, even if I let it 30 minutes with this message "Restoring app..."
So because I have rooted my phone I have tryied to put music.apk in /system/app folder, setting the permisons, the file is there and have rw-r--r-- permisions but the app is not accesible from app drawer. What can I do to restore my Stock Music Player?
Can anyone help me ?

Are you still restoring in the same ROM that you originally froze the app? The Android version is more important, but sometimes, the ROM makes a difference too.
yes, the same ROM. Stock ROM of Galaxy Advance. Only ROOT-ed.
android ver. 2.3.6
in the same ROM happened soȘ
1.Frozen Stock Music Player
2.tried defroze whithout succes. Titanium said was defrost, but in fact remained frozen, and colored in navy in Titanium, with "Defrost" option enabled. So can't defroze
3.Uninstalled with titanium whitout defrozing
4.So because I have rooted my phone I have tryied to put music.apk in /system/app folder, setting the permisons, the file is there and have rw-r--r-- permisions but the app is not accesible from app drawer.
What can i do to have it back in app drawer ?
Well, I only froze an application once in TB, and I defrost it with no problem. But, somehow another app still recognized it...so I do not know if freezing apps are helping as much as they are hurting.
But my last tip before I give up...for now. Uninstall, and try restoring only the app and not the data and tell me what happens.
And of course, if all else fails, backup data and reflash the Rom.

tried! is telling me "Restoring..." and can stay 3 hours with this message. I need to kill titanium to close this.
another ideea ?
You can also freeze/unfreeze through link2sd, which many Android users have on their device anyway.
on my Galaxy S Advance I can't unfreeze any frozen app. No with Titanium, No with Link2SD
Look! I have frozen Yahoo News with Link2SD. Now I can't defroze it. I can try to defroze 10 times. Look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2th5cGvOYKw
why it's freeze but can't unfreeze ? I got no error!

I will give you an Example, the software update app in my samsung galaxy phone it always run even i did not run it, if i will freeze my software updater app it will not run automatically anymore and you can't use it.. so like in video games, it's like a pause button.
So, I just recently rooted and installed cyanogenmod 7 on my htc droid incredible. I know that I had to wipe and delete everything in order to install everything. I tried backing up my apps with an app called backupeverything. Well, besides not being able to find it on the market (I was able to find an apk online and install it), every time I try to restore the apps, it doesn't work. I know the apps I need, the issue I'm running into is: is there any way I can recover settings, notes (like from springpad, notepad, etc.) from my phone?
Just go into /data/data and copy the apps folder using a file explorer then put it on sdcard and then on computer and from there you can apply that data into roms by default or do whatever
I have a rooted stock nexus S. I wanted a the new google music app (i'm outside the US) so i backed up the old one with titanium backup and them removed it (also with titanium). I then used the market enabler to get the google music app but once installed it wouldnt open (I assume because im outside the US). I need to restore my original backup but when i do it just says restoring app and never finishes. I have tried browsing to the apk file and installing from there but it says app not installed. Is there a way to manually restore the app or is my backup broken?
Thanks in advance
Same problem here. Please HELP
I have the same problem with my Music and Browser app.Can anyone please help.
I got it to install after uninstalling the old then rebooting, but i get fc's when trying to play music. Anyone else have better luck than me? Im on prime 2.02 btw. Oh and to get it to sync you have to clear data once or twice until it asks you to sync your gmail acct.
Doesn't work... Apparently its honeycomb in general, I checked the Xoom and Galaxy Tab forums and they're having the same FC problems as we are.

I did, it's pretty nice...the layout of the playlist (if you have less that 5) is kind of weird...It looks a lot like the old one, but smaller icons and text...
latest Prime if that helps anybody...
i have the same problem, fc when trying to play music.....now the question : has someone get the original HC music apk to revert to the first one ? Just to avoid revert to nandroid or reinstall rom...thanks
Here it is. Pulled this out of Revolution rom. I think you will have to uninstall the ICS app and then reinstall the stock app with Titanium Backup in order for it to work.
Work around for the FC's, just hit shuffle all and profit
Wouldn't exactly call that a workaround... yes, you can shuffle, but anything else is still causing forced closes.

thanks a lot Getlaid, but i didn't manage to install it using titanium back up......(i'm using the free version), and a normal installation abort.....
Try deleting /system/app/Music2.apk with a root capable file explorer like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, reboot, and then replace with the stock Music2.apk
Thanks! I think the power is in the reboot! Worked nicely afterwards.

I got it to install, but I don't see the login option in settings for music beta. (
Edit: fixed by clearing data, force stop, then launch.
