Anyone try the ICS Music app yet?

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.

[Q] titanium backup

Is it possible to have it auto install my, doing a lot of tapping.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

A little unclear question, but will try to answer what I understood.
You can select from "Batch" (or just click on backup/restore tab and restore user apps (+data if you want). Or you can always extract from any nandroid backup you already had.
If by tapping you mean superuser permissions, you can always check remember permission for that app when allowing it.

By auto install do you mean instead of hitting install each time just have it done automatically? You need titanium pro

Does anybody know if there is a way to reload the arrangement of the application icons and widgets on each screen every time you do a wipe and fresh install? I know titanium backup allows you to save your applications so you don't have to redownload those everytime but it gets annoying to have to hold and drag all the icons to each screen everytime i try a new rom.

you can use titanium backup to backup launcher and then restore it
it will save your apps icons , but you have to re-drag your widget...

You really really should buy TB Pro but if you're really that cheap you can use this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot
*if you didn't wipe /system and /boot it is NOT A FULL WIPE*

I have been using Titanium but the free edition for awhile.
Does TB Pro offer anything that McBackup Root does not?

Launcher blocked by wrong. No home screen anymore!
Hi,
I need your urgent help. I'd froze HTC Sense in Titanium backup because I was working with Go launcher, but today I disabled Go launcher in startup manager and I don't have any home screen now.
How can I restore one of them (Sense or Go launcher)? I don't want to hard reset my phone because I need my contacts, SMS, ....
My phone is rooted and I'd installed clockwork recovery.

Install Go launcher again using adb install command.
There could be many more ways to get it working, don't panic.

I installed ADW Launcher and launcherpro directly from android market.in status bar it shows that they are installed. but they didn't run and my screen is still blank.
I blocked the startup programs using Optimize ToolBox(15 functions)
is there a way to manage startup apps in recovery mode? Some thing like an script and so on.
------
update: Default pc connection mode of my phone is "Internet pass through" and I can't change it because it doesn't show connection mode screen. I think I can connect it to pc in recovery mode. I will search to learn how can I install go launcher using adb. hope it helps.
---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------
Oh no!!! I had disabled usb debugging too and can't turn it on. adb show "device not found error".
what I've done: boot in Fast boot USB. run "adb install filename.apk" and shows " device not found".

Adw launcher default over stock launcher

Is it possible to make adw launcher a default launcher, and when i mean default i mean the stock launcher is gone thanks for help
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom

Since you're rooted you can get rid of it by just deleting the app from /system/app, using something like Root Explorer, but why bother? As long as AWD is set to default then the other launcher won't even run after a reboot (unless it's TouchWiz - I've been informed that that does run, so you need to delete all the widgets from the screens first.)
Generally, whenever I change launcher I tend to remove everything possible from the previous one I was using, just in case it ever does run for some reason.

ok cause the reason i ask is because if i were to do a factory restore it would delete adw because its an app, so that means when i start up it will say foreclose and ill have to find an apk and drop it into the phone and install. is it possible to make it cm7, ware its not an app, its a default launcher?

You're basically talking about making your own ROM. That's the only way to pick and choose what's included in it.

I downloaded adw ex and pushed it into system/app and installed, i clicked home and selected adw ex as default launcher, i turned off my phone and flashed a zip i found here on xda that deletes sense rosie apk and launcher, rebooted and now my phone is running off adw ex, i did a factory reset to see if it still works and it did. by moving the app into the system/app it cant be deleted unless i go inside and delete it. thanks for all your help guys

Cool. I will try on my tablet.

So you just moved the apk to system/app and installed it from there?

Yes, I as running HTC.launcher so I completely deleted that and now my adw is my stock launcher, the reason I moved it to system is because if you install it like a regular app what happens if you do a factory reset or it accedintaly gets deleted, in system app its now apart of your rom, and to prove that go to settings then applications, you will see that regualr apps can be deleted but system apps cant, all it offers is to delete updates, you would need titanium backup to delete system apks , so that's why I moved it to system/app, (push Adw to system/app and install)

[Q] Android - can I erase deafult launcher

I had original 2.1 android on my xperia x8, and before few days i installed kuyadroid 2.3.5. In that android deafult launcher is launcher pro so I want to know what is gonna be if I erase it.

Yes you can if you have root. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LAUNCHER FIRST! Download root browser than go to
/system/app
than delete launcher.apk.

Is there even a point to deleting it. If your not using it then it should be doing nothing more than taking up its space as a file, right?

I wouldn't

I agree. It's not hurting anything, and you might get yourself into trouble if you delete it without another launcher installed. Just my 2 cents.

thanks for answering.. like i sad before, in this kuyadroid 2.3.5. launcher pro is deafult launcher and i have option to delete it.. but i need to have another launcher installed to delete this one? right?

yes you need to install any other launcher before deleting the stock launcher(if necessary)

Upgrade launcher? in custom ROM

Hello!
This is my first post so please don't throw stones on me. I was interested if, for example I run CM7, how can I replace the built in Launcher? it has ADW but it's outdated, so I want to put in for example the latest version.
As I see, if I install launcher for example X on the phone, this will be installed over the built in one. You know what I mean, the bulit in is there running and my new launcher is there to... is it possibile to remove the original one and put a new one in?

I don't think it's possible because it's essentially the same as a stock launcher, you can't just remove it and have nothing there. This is what I believe to be true anyway.
As you know, you can run another launcher over the top, why don't you just do that? It doesn't cause any problems for you.

Thank you...
I don't want to do that because the RAM. This is the main reason... as I saw I got only 128 which is almost insufficient for running any other app on the phone...

You can try intalling a new launcher then uninstalling the system launcher.
Or you can install a new launcher as a system app. And uninstall system launcher.
Or install a new launcher as a user app and convert into system app and uninstall system launcher.

I'll make a back-up and than see if it boots to flash recovery... of so... I'll try
thank you...
UPDATE
seems like I can't boot into CWM recovery with power + volume up + volume down
it says something like firmware upgrade failed... and dies... remove battery, put back and boot normaly... If I remain withouth a launcher and I won't be able to boot to CWM recovery to reinstall rom I'll softbrick my phone... :-S

Try using anttek app manager or titanium backup to freeze adw once you've installed a launcher you want. That will keep it out of memory, but it's easily undone.

Yap, you may want to try this, and since you're on CM7 I believe you have root acess.
So, install the launcher you want (it's not obligatory you use ADW)
Install Titanium Backup from the market.
Open TB and select 'Backup/Restore'
Scroll until you find the stock launcher (ADW in your case), select it and then choose Uninstall. You will have some warnings since it's a system app, no problem there.
After that just open the new launcher with the home button, it should do the trick
Cheers

I'll try this as soon as I got home...
But right now, how can I boot into recovery with clockworkmod?
I mean, from poweroff...
pressing those keys just boots into firmware upgrade...

In terminal emulator type "reboot recovery" without the quotes and hit enter. As long as you have busybox this should work.
Also, I said to freeze the app because it's easier to undo than if you uninstall it. Plus, you don't have to keep a backup on your SD.

Don't know about busybox. It said something about it while I rooted. Don't know if it's still there.
I'll try freezing it.
Still didn't figured out how to boot into recovery from power off.
Update:
Launcher frozen. Restarted. Everything works as expected. Maybe I'll uninstall it later.frozen with link2sd.
Same think can I do with android keyboard if I have another one?
UPDATE2:
If I don't have a launcher I can't even access terminal emulator. So, how to boot into CWM recovery from power off? Do I need to have USB cable in my phone connected to pc?

Can't help you on the recovery, sorry different device, I think it has a different way to boot :/
On the keyboard one, yes, you can do it to the keyboard also, but why deleting stock keyboard? It's good for having a backup when the custom fails.
But why do you lack a launcher? You should always have a launcher, of course without it you can't access anything.
You should first install the second launcher and then delete the first one, not the other way around :/

Yeah but I like to play safe so until I don't know how to boot into recovery I won't delete it...

:facepalm:
You install another launcher BEFORE freezing the stock launcher.
Read my original post in this thread and you'll see that's what I wrote.
You'll need adb at this point. Install it, install the driver for your phone, use adb to push a launcher apk to either /system/app or /data/app. Also, you can use adb to enter recovery by typing "adb reboot recovery" without the quotes.

it's just that I don't trust myself
I've installed another launcher already...
Now... can you be a bit more open for the ADB thing?
I'm at work, here I can't install usb debugging...
as I understand, with ADB I got something like a terminal or thing like that and I cand send command to the phone

Correct. Install adb (google is your friend). Find the usb driver for your phone and install it on your home computer. Connect your phone through usb. Open a command prompt and cd (change directory) to the adb folder. Type adb devices. If a device number is returned, you can go from there. There are tons of useful commands.

One thing... I have u8180. But about phone says u8160. Since rooted and cm7 it's recognized as u8160 even by Google play. Hm as I see there is a work around. U8180/u8160 shares the same hw. So if adb will recognize it as one of them it will be OK?
