is there a way to install the honeycomb music player on stock nexus s

i tried searching the forum, but search is unavailable right now. anyway, i saw that people were able to install the honeycomb music player on the nexus s with CM7 and were able to do the cloud sync. I would like to do this on my stock nexus s as well. Is it possible? can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks
damn, my bad. i thought i was posting this in question forum. mod please move

I have been trying to do this with no luck. Keep getting application not installed error..
I don't think it is possible without rooting..

same problem. install unsuccessful. if i root the phone, install the honeycomb player, will i still get the stock OTA updates when they come out

I had it working on my stock Nexus S before I installed CM7. I was rooted though
Copy the Honeycomb apk to your phone.
*Backup the original music.apk before attempting this*
Use a file explorer with root access and mount it with R/W access and delete the original music.apk from system/app
reboot device.
Find the honeycomb music apk via file manager and install.
Note : Rooting does not affect OTA updates, nor will installing any software (.apk) OTA updates are lost when you install custom rom's

No, you will not. All of your upgrades will come from the devs supporting the ROM you are on. Or you will have to flash each update separately when they are available.

No rooting will not make him loose OTA updates.
As long as you are on the STOCK ROM you will continue to receive OTA updates no matter what .apk's you install, so installing the honeycomb music apk will not affect anything.
You loose your ability to receive OTA updates when you switch to a custom rom (CM7, etc.) This is because your installing non- original google software onto your phone.

if I'm not mistaken, the cloud sync function is only available in CM7, it does not work in the stock ROM (at least I tried once and it did not work).
I have CM7 RC2 installed and was able to install the Honeycomb music player as well. Strangely it does not install itself on top of the Gingerbread Music app, they exist in parallel.

Put honeycomb player in system/app change permissions to match other apps. Reboot install honeycomb player.apk overwrite normal music player and your done. You can always uninstall and go back to normal.

the only reason i want this music player is for the cloud sync feature. can anyone confirm if it works with stock rom?

You are likely missing a necessary library to make them work. Capture the logcat and it will likely be fairly clear where it's crashing (unless the APKs are obfuscated).

Ok i will give that a try thx

[Q] veetle app?

I downloaded the veetle app for my inspire but all I seem to get is audio, no video at all... any suggestion how I may fix this?

I just dl it and it's working fine with mine. It sounds to me like your flash player maybe. I use flash 10.1 or 10.2. When I update to 11 i have the same prob with videos, all sound no pic. I'd try checking your flash version and change it if needed.

I had this problem many times for all flash websites. This should be stickied lol
You can download latest flash player.
Force close all browsers.
If you have root then use Root explorer or Fileexpert
1) Navigate to /data/data.
Depending on your browser navigate to
1) Dolphin -
mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flashplayer
2) Miren - cn.miren.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flashplayer
Remove all permissions for config.data file.
Flash videos should work on all websites and apps
Tried and tested
Hope this helps.

I navigate to /data but there is nothing there, no other data folder. It is completely empty. I am using fileexpert
I even tried searching for flashplayer but no file was found...

What rom are you on? If you are on a CM base rom you will need the older outdated flash apk for it to work

yupp CM7. oh ok, will 10.2 work?
Appreciate all the help fellas.

Not sure. I used CM based for a week and couldnt deal with a few issues I had that are known issues with CM based roms. Go to the CM thread and search for flash player and it will lead you in the right direction.

Zelendel, may I ask what ROM you are using currently? and any particular reason why?
Metaldood, I tried your fix with the latest flash player but unfortunately did not work for me. I got it working with the earlier version of flash player. Thanks for the effort tho.

I use my own custom senseless rom by the name of Gotham. I wanted a rom that had all the best from the OEM like the drivers for BT and WIFI (proven to get better signal strength for both WiFi and BT) but didnt want the normal sense bloat. Only thing I had from sense was the dialer and contacts. (Best dialer contact combo I have ever seen) Did have the sense 3 lock with a custom settings smali code edit to allow editing the lockscreen without having sense installed at all but removed that now that widget locker has a sense 3 lock screen. So after tonight or maybe tommaro I will remove the lockscreen, gallery and the last few sense parts that I held on to for the lockscreen.

I am not sure why it did not work. Were you able to find the config.data file?

Yes I just had to check the root explorer setting on file explorer.
I use dolphin and tried doing what you told me but it did not work for me for some reason.

Music Player Missing on JB Rom

I installed the German 4.1.1 on my Note and the default Samsung music player is gone. I can't use Titanium to restore it either. Did they remove it in 4.1.1 or did I screw something up?

You screwed up

Ok i have exactly same problems and it drive me crazy. Any ideas whats going on and how to fix it?

I'm also experiencing the same problem
If I set any default ringtone, the phone (Nexus5) uses it without problems... but if I try to set another MP3 file (I formerly used in KitKat 4.4.4 successfully) it is "set" as ringtone, but a small "error beep" sounds instead of the configured mp3 file.
Reproducing the error is simple, just set a standard ringtone and clic the "ringtone volume" slider to change the volume... you'll hear the ringtone without problems. If you set another ringtone (using Rings Extended or similar) it is correctly set, but changing the volume reproduces the mentioned "beep" instead of the ringtone.
This is not such a big deal... I can set a standard ringtone until this gets fixed... but it is in fact an annoying bug.

Ringtone Problem
I updated my nexus 5 to lollipop. My ringtone changed to some unknow ringtone. Only some beep sound comes when a call comes. I am not able to change the ringtone. It stays the same beep evenwhen i change it. Niether custom nor default ringtone. Default ringtones are all vanished i cant even see the. What to doo! This is really irritating.

Working fine for me, although I flashed the factory image and set my phone up from scratch...

I installed the OTA image myself (via adb) but did not factory-restore the phone... doing so would help in solving this issue? :angel:

Honestly couldn't say - possibly. If you're going to do a reset, obviously backup any important info first of all

I would wipe cache,and factory reset from the recovery menu. This has cleared up a number of issues.

Thanks!!

same
i have the exact same issue...cleared the cache but no dice...if anyone has a fix it would be much appreciated

Faced the same issue and Google brought me here. I would only get the default ring tone or vibrate when a custom mp3 was selected on my stock Nexus 5 on 5.0.1 (OTA). Here's the fix that seems to have worked for me:
Settings > Apps > All Apps > Media Storage > Clear Cache & Defaults
Then I went into Sounds & Notifications and ensured my mp3 ringtone was set as the default. In the process I selected Media Storage as the default provider of file services (over ES). Then I went into the individual contacts and reset each to the proper mp3.
Hope this helps.

I don't have the problem since 5.0.1, I think they fixed it.

I have the problem on both mine and my wife's phone.
My phone:
1. previously flashed 5.0.0 and OTA to 5.0.1
2. just tried flashed 5.0.1 factory images and its the same
Wife's phone:
1. OTA from 4.4 to 5.0.0 then 5.0.1
I tried with both OGG and MP3.
We are using airdroid.

Try copying or moving the sound file to the Ringtones folder/directory and rebooting. If the file is not too large it should show in in the list of available ringtones.

The ringtones does show up, and in the ringtone selector, it does play properly, However, it doesn't play when a voice call comes in. :|

I too face the same problem... Any solutions yet?

Previously I use AirDroid to transfer the ringtones.
I just install ES Explorer, copy it to /sdcard, then when selecting ringtone, choose ES File Explorer again, and pick the file. Works!

This will help.
I also had this same problem
I am having a moto G 2. Same problem occurred to me after updating. All you need to do is to paste the custom ringtone to Phone/Ringtones folder. Then select it from settings. VOILA. It'll work. :fingers-crossed:
Note: Don't copy it in Memory Card

I came here to look for a solution to this problem after upgrading to Lollipop and rings Extended no longer working. The above "quoted" worked for me on my Galaxy S5.
Move the ringtone to Device Storage/Ringtones and then select it in sound settings.
Move the notification sound you want to Device Storage/Notifications and select it in sound settings.
You can then uninstall Rings Extended as it is no longer needed. :good:
