There are no forums about new walkman , so I post to here.
I have found that the new Sony Walkman is supported by android , and the new walkman app looks pretty well ( style is like the wm1 and zx300 series) . I wanna install the new walkman app on my cellphone .
There are some problems
First of all there are no smaster audio processor on the cellphones so some of the functions won’t work on the ordinary android devices . Like vinyl processor or dsee Hx , dc phase processor. Maybe we have to disable them to ensure that the app works well.
Second , I found the functionality between zx500 and a100 is different . So there are maybe 2 versions of new walkman app. One for zx500 and another one for a100.
I double this. I'll try to get the APK tomorrow by extracting it from the firmware... then I'll install it to AOSP.
Got it? Would be interested on that and some Infos about it (Development)
any news about this?
anything else？
Did anyone do this?
Bump
Do you guys need someone with one of these devices to be able to extract the APK? Willing to help if you point me in the right direction.
However don't be too excited, the music player sucks as a music player.
It's very basic, it doesn't even let you create or modify playlists. Only "bookmarks" which cannot be backed up/exported and have limitations.
Even I have these device, and I'd rather stick to PowerAmp in general (best overall) or USB Audio Player Pro UAPP for USB DAC support and MQA.

Hi there,
I might be a little late but yes! Someone with one of these devices will be great.
Being it Android you can download an android app called (Super Backup & Restore) from the Google play store. This app is easy, intuitive and will extract the APK file. Then you can upload it here on XDA. I can help more if you are willing to help. I will try my best to answer any questions you have.
Cheers

Ok, we know that the 2.3.3 ROM for the X10 was missing DLNA support. I mentioned in a previous thread that I was attempting to use the one from one of the other Xperias;
Well, I've finally had a chance to test the DLNA app from the Xperia Play on the X10 and can confirm that it does indeed work.
So far I've used it to stream a video recorded with the X10 camcorder to my Windows 7 PC. It didn't pick up an AVI I had however (divx format), however this is probably to do with the X10's codec support.
I'm going to have a look into the video apps on the Sony Play/Arc as there doesn't seem to be one preinstalled on the GB x10 rom - hopefully that might sort out the codec issue.
For now, here's the apk from the xperia play - enjoy!
I have a question...how does it work?
i was playing around with this last night, i was able to get my windows 7 pc to see pics on the phone in wmp, however, it would not see video or audio files on the x10.
also, does it work both ways? could i stream media from my pc to my phone? i removed dlna because i couldn't figure this out, and i want to stream from my pc more than i want to stream from my phone
can you explain me how do I use it?

wow.... its working.... I am accessing my x10 via Laptop....
used this guide to setup...

I don't mean to sound whiny or aggressive, as this is not my style,
but since Bravia Engine works (for photos at least) and now DLNA too,
it occurs to me that SE willingly did not include those features in the X10.
On the one hand, I get it. They have to sell their newer models,
this is not uncommon in the mobile industry and it's how things work.
On the other hand, didn't they expect that we will eventually find out that they
work, since it's that simple as pushing some files onto our phones?
I found out why I cant get the xbox to see the x10 - the client has to initiate the connection to the x10, then you have to select it in notifications and select "allow". Xbox can't do that as it can only poll devices that are already presenting themselves. I'm sure I'll figure out a way around it (add a client, then manually editing its record to match the xbox's mac should do it) but it's not a priority.
The non-x10 recorded a/v i'm looking at - wondering if it's something simple like placement on sd card (video camera saves files in another location to where my avi files are kept - i.e. not sdcard/media/video).
I agree that it's stupid and annoying that they've left stuff out that could have been added in 5 minutes- I'm convinced we can get the bravia engine working by amending that existing library file - the one on the x10 is likely just missing the entry for be_video, but we can't use the arc one because it uses different calls to the video architecture (it has a different screen to the x10 doesn't it?).
Possibly a good old fashioned 'diff' on the arc .so file and that of the one currently on the x10 might show up some insight as to what needs to be added? I'll look later - phones on charge and I've got to prepare for a job interview in an hour!!
thanks, it's work perfect .
Does anyone can gimme some hints that i can stream the videos made by X10 in 720P?
I have a Samsung TV and a PS3 and both say that the format is incompatible although both are able to play MP4 format in which the vids are recorded.
It is curious because with some roms it is working. But there the videos are recorded with the Stock Android Camera where you can choose between different formats.
Does anyone uses a mediaplayer where the videos made by Stock SE Camera can be streamed without converting them?
Thanks
you can also try an app called Skifta, i use that to stream content from my laptop to my phone or my tv aswell as from my phone to tv
its on the market and its free

Well, "we" are a pretty small group of people. I've met others with the X10. None had updated or much less knew about things like rooting, flashing, recovery, etc... Even among my techie friends who own droid phones, none have done the things I've done to my phone. I don't think SE is particularly concerned about what we try. If anything, it seems like they've lifted some of the things xda devs have done into the GB update.

True.. but i do believe they stated that it is possible with 3rd party apps.

because XDA community is still small compare to rest of the world, not everyone root and flash their phones once per 2~3 days like some of us here

Sony's mindset is that you want your phone's stuff on the tv (preferably a Sony tv) and that you want to watch with a bunch of people without the hassle of cables- So this is a media server rather than a client.
That said, there is an excellent simple app called 2Player that works well with it's own DLNA client for music. I have a NAS with 14K songs that will serve to the phone. There are some other apps that will do both music and photos in the market such as iMedia which also work with the devices such as a NAS as well as Windows Media. FWIW, Windows Media has limits on what type of material will be shown, that is, not all file types will be shared.
All that said, only my Panasonic BluRay player is DLNA enabled, so to watch phone's stuff on the big tv..... and yes, it does work with my DLNA bluray from Panasonic, shows right up with the rest of the stuff. Have streamed photos, getting not valid media on the video, since it's not in the right format.
Thanx .. gonna donwload it

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
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
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!

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. :/

Hello, I posted this in hope that there's someone out there who still owns this phone and could do me a favor.
I remember that this phone (maybe others from SE too) had the best polyphonic tones I have ever heard and one certain song stuck in my mind from it, It's this one :
NYC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ehXkmI-QBE
https://www.google.ro/?gws_rd=cr&ei=SGxSU_zMGubMygOPxYLQAg#q=nyc.midi+ringtone
Now, that youtube file is just the midi file playing on a PC, I remember the phone itself had much more aggressive tones and it sounded like a MP3.. Was so good.
Is there anyone out there who could possibly record the phone while playing this midi?
I want it for the sake of nostalgia, might even have it as a ringtone
A Sony Ericsson Midi Fan Too
here is a not so good video (put youtube here)/watch?v=DaF9PST0foM
I am also a big fan of sony ericsson and always looking for the midi files. windows media player only comes close to the midi sound quality of the T310/XX16/6XX models. I am also on a constant hunt for the start up midi for the t310 but to no avail as somehow no one was able to extract those files still im amazed by the sony ericsson midi synthesizer they had in those days. and yet they threw it away and used crappy sounding ones in there later phones (do know why they did not continue with it) I always have NYC and Autumn Sky
nyc midi
please could you help with the NYC i am really looking for it but couldn't find it anywhere.

Hey man! I was hunting for a LOT of SE ringtones.. Here you go: NYC!
ANd, if someone has the Beethoven5 from T300, please share it! And also, does anyone has the old P800/P810 message alerts? Then could be downloaded from the Sony Ericsson page, they were called Lithium and Xenon, and there were others like that, with element names... Please!!!
Hello guys I just bought this phone and I'm pretty comfortable with it.
Just updated Walkman to latest version but everytime I see the artworks on the player, it is not displaying at the correct resolution, in fact it is bad quality.
I double checked the images I have embedded with the albums and they are high resolution ones... so I dont know what to do, any suggestions?
Other thing I want to ask you is:
is there anyway to port de music player application from ICS to this phone? When I had ST21 that player displayed the correct images with the correct quality and I also found it more reduced in feature which I found lovely.
Most of the "new" feature on Walkman application I dont use and I found it kind of uncomfortable to see.
I also tried with other apps but they are ugly and dont have Sony UI style.
Sorry for my bad english!
Keep it up guys!
Not really sure what the problem is with the newer Walkman versions, but yeah this issue has been around since version 8. Maybe your embedded art is too big? I try to keep mine at around 500x500.
Did you try uninstalling the updates to your Walkman app? I think XC default Walkman is the one without the "Home" page and might be the one you need.
I use many music player..they all contain ads
Is there any good music player without ads and best for my op6

Am using PowerAmp since well over 8 years now and never regretted buying the Pro version for a few dollars. Had abandoned it while my old xperia was still running with Sony's stock ROM (Sony Music player's not really bad, I couldn't remove it anyway while being unrooted, and I didn't want to have 2 similar apps). After I had opened the phone, and now on my OP6 Poweramp resurfaced, and it's still great. Has a zillion options to adjust the app's behaviour, apply skins etc.
And hey; I even am willing to provide a link here for you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer

Yes the ported sony Walkman player is one of the best.. Has a nice clean ui and the sound is good
Using very long time PowerAMP. Can recommend it!
PowerAmp is so cool. I bought pro version and never regretted
Like others, I use PowerAmp. There are some very fine skins, if you are into that whole customization thing, but the music sounds great, and there are so many options for tuning the sound, album art, etc.
It really does "Whips the Llama's Azzz". (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
I started using Musicolet, works like a charm!
Nice UI and a lot of custimizations.
