Live with walkman app
extracted the live with walkman app and widget off the new sony ericsson Wt19 live with walkman phone tft 2.3.4 file it will install and update over the built in music player on the xperia play without having to change permissions if want the iconic sony walkman experience.
View attachment SemcMusicWalkman.apk
View attachment MusicWidgetWalkman.apk
note; this is not the old w8 red themed version.
for root users get the full walkman experience by adding the mega bass tweek see this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319533 )
note; you will only hear a difference in sound if you have good headphones (eg, big dj headphones or the older type of in ear) not the stock sony headphones that come with the play, as i think they produce sound (bass) in a different way.
Thank you for the upload, but it looks exactly like the default music app lol

yeah pretty much does lol but like the icon and the widget better at least its nice to have. now we have 2 of sonys iconic gadgets playstation and the age old trusty walkman in are back pockets + a phone of course.
I believe you should kindly edit your 1st post and say to all that people should apply the megabass tweak 1st before installing the walkman goodies
I installed the walkman stuff 1st and then flashed the megabass tweak and walkman was removed and replaced again by the stock music app Had to install walkman again but its okay
Will the megabass tweak stay after installing though? Im having a hard time telling the difference yet
Thanks!
EDIT: Tried to reboot to check and.. it reverts back to the stock music app.. do you still see it as Walkman after rebooting?
Now i dont know after reboot if
1. The megabass tweak is still on my system
2. If Im really having the walkman experience..
EDIT2:
Got it to work, installed it first, used Titanium backup to convert it to user app instead. Rebooted, flashed the megabass enhancer
*Cheers*
will try a second reboot
You don't have to factory reset or wipe cache in the recovery the mega bass tweek should just install also you will only hear a difference with eg Dj headphone the ones you get from Sony are not really compatible as they produce sound in a different way

Where do i insert the cassette?
Folks, the MegaBass tweak consists of pushing two files to a /system folder.
Do I need a root for this version of Walkman ?
no just install the apks with a file manager if dont like it go to applications and uninstall updates. the mega bass tweek is only for root
is there any different betweent the original music player with the walkman version? For example the lyrics, and any screeshot?
Thanks!

Same problem here, it says not installed on my R800x
OMG!!!! With these and Mega Bass Tweak, it does hugely improve my music experience on my Play!!! Love it so very much!!!
I love listening to music, this is the main reason why I still stick myself with iPod Classic. But right after I applied this, my Xperia Play has such a great improvement in Bass and it totally increase my music experience with this little monster! I don't store many songs in my SD Card as I mainly use my iPod Classic but I have scrolled through many songs I have in my Play and their basses are super good now!
This is the best tweak I've met so far. You will need such a hi-end headset too enjoy the improvement here.
Thank you very much. VERY VERY VERY Recommended for the music lovers!

Yup, with some more context added. I just thought it might be useful here. Sorry if that bothers you.

I'm on .42 firmware and I could install them without any probs. I don't think you need to update your FW to get these.

Physically, it doesn't change that much. Honestly, I could only see the different of the icon when I install this .apk music player, the whole program is completely the same for me.
I don't think you need any screen shot.

Not at all, but since there is no more changes than the appearance, you don't need high end headphones to install what amounts to a skinned stock player
I didnt mean it like that, i would just love to get it working on mine. Any one know what i would need to get it installed on my device. Thx. :/

Has anyone managed to port the Xperia S music player and all its goodness like EQ, ClearBass, virtualization and all that other good stuff?! I tried the Xperia S UI ROM but I'm using CM9 and all it's missing is the Xperia S Music player! Can anyone link to some info on installing it? (Yes i'm a noob btw).
Search this thread. There's one thats really good. And please post in q&a and search before posting

hi...i have xperia j...when i play a song in walkman player while using headset sound quality and output is very bad.....also i plugged 2.1 speaker system output is very low and poor quality....while on phone speaker with xloud its fine...is this my headset port problem ?? or walkman musicplayer's problem ??' anybody knows problem......need help...
Stock on J is very quiet imho. The speaker is indeed fine, but headset quality and loudness is not enough for listening. These kind of sound limitations are removed (or customizable) in custom ROMs, like CM10.
but i like sony's stock interface...any way in that stock.....??

Hi guys......... i just found the Xperia Z1 Sony Select app with it's really cool widget. It's much better than the stock Sony Select of the Xperia E and it has a Walkman- like background colorizing function . It also has the Xperia Theme section, but our devices have only JB 4.1 so we can't use it.
The Sony Select Widget also shows films and music from Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited.

Hello community,
i just got the Xperia xz. Before the xz I was using a Xperia Z2, which had a nice, preinstalled Podcast App (hidden somwhere in Music or Video, later sony made a widget). I just want to know if this Podcast app still exists in the xz world?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Download Pocket Casts, it has everything you'll ever need.
