[Q] How to run Flash player in background? - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

Hi there,
I have Samsung I9000, updated recently to Froyo and wanted to use Flash Player (latest updated version) to listen to some internet radio stations available only in flash player version (hrt.hr/streams). So far so good, but....
when I want to switch to some other app - the player stops working. In other words, as long as I want to listen to a flash player radio stream - I can not use my phone for anything else (like reading a book or...).
Any idea how to make flash player work in background?
Thanks for any /all help.

Got the same problem here..
haven't found a solution yet.
But it's not only a flash problem.
You can open media from the browser using the Android Video Player,
but when you want to go back to the site, check your messages or w/e
the video has to stream all over again/doesn't continue when you leave the window.

same here..

I'm not an expert here but think the problem is how android os works.
when u switch app (in focus) all other apps are paused.
Unless the app is made not to pause (like music player)
So don't think there is a way really.

Stream (background) music?

Hey
I was wondering if it possible to stream music from sites like last.fm and thesixtyone.com?
Do i have to change some setting? Donwload an app?
Maybe with flash 10.1?
there is a last fm app on the marketplace
But it would be nice to play it from the last.fm site.
ALso with thesixtyone.com. But thanks for the tip. Streaming music with the app right now!

It doesn't work because of the way Linux works. When you launch another app and "minimize" the browser, it puts it in sleep mode. If it wouldn't (and you could keep streaming), it'd drain your battery insanely fast.
first post here
Still one could throw it on the charger/desktop dock. All I want to do is blank the screen. My perfect scenario would be to have the option to stream music in the desktop charger with a blank screen or the clock... to keep away the burn in blues.
Edit: And I would say this was a limitation to linux as I type this from a system running a popular distro that blows anything m$ has away it is more likely a limitation of software possibly to protect us from a hardware limitation. I thought multitasking meant running more than one app at a time?
I installed a 2.2 ROM and checked thesixtyone again and it worked this time. So i guess with flash 10.1 it will work. Didn't check last.fm.
But i'm unable to install the flash 10.1 for 2.1 so i guess i have to wait. Don't want to run the 2.2ROMS as i don't like the UI.
you should search for TuneWiki,
its freaking awesome, it plays your music on your SD card, Searches lyrics with your music, scrobbles your songs on last.FM and if you want it can search the videoclip through youtube aswell
I second Tunewiki, I personally prefer XiiaLive though.
I stream 256kbps mp3 from digitallyimported.com in the background through it. Both have nice UI's but I prefer the Xiia UI personally.
XiiaLive is formerly known as DroidLive btw...
Thanks for the help. Tried both the last.fm player and tunewiki. Allthough it's not really what i'm looking for these are nice apps.
If you look at http://www.thesixtyone.com/ there starts music playing. It's that what I want in my browser on my Desire. With the 2.2 it works.
If anyone knows how I can install Flash 10.1 for 2.1 it would be nice to hear it.
It seems I can't remove the FlashLitePlugin.apk and can't really work with ADB.

Having issues with music player and maps since FroYo

Hi there,
I´m not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this since this is my first post on this board.
Ok, so here is my problem:
I - proudly - own a HTC Desire and used to listen to the HTC music-player while using google maps navigation. On Android 2.1 it worked like a charm.
But then I updated to FroYo and since then it won´t run simultanously anymore.
What happens is the following:
I launch the music player
I launch the navigation app
When the first voice-output starts it mutes (or quits) the music player and won´t resume/reopen it automatically again
When I use a different music player it all work, again.
Also, when I use another navigation application (e.g. Navigon) the player keeps on working (but doesn´t mute...but I guess this is a Navigon problem).
A week ago I decided to root my Desire. For that I downgraded it to 2.1, again and used the ROM from ieftm. Unfortunately, I still do have this problem.
You may now ask "Why not use one of the other music players?".
The answer is: I "need" three points to be fullfiled by the music player:
Look nice (or at least not that crappy; for example...I don´t like the Astro player)
A working lockscreen-widget (this would eliminate the ³-player and DoubleTwist)
It should be possible to create a playlist-shortcut on the homescreen to be opened directly by this player
And...from all the players I tried the HTC player is the only one that has all this.
Anyway, I hope you guys can help me with my problem and answer some of these questions:
Has anybody an idea on how I could get maps/navigation and the music player working together again?
Anybody knows a music player that fullfilles all the points from above?
Anybody knows how I can set another music player to be opened with the homescreen-playlist-shortcuts?
Thanks in advance.

Latest Honeycomb Music App

Hi, here is the latest honeycomb music app.
Music sync should work.
com.google.android.music.apk
Can you tell me how to install it ? I think I tried the same apk before (found here). But couldn't figure out how to install. When I ran it I got the "This is a system app do you want to replace" prompt, saying yes got it installed, but I cant seem to find where it went. Clicking on the music player icon still loads the old music player, and there are no new music player icons. Then I replaced the default music player apk with this one (like I did with the previously leaked honeycomb/gingerbread music app) but then its force closes.

Playing Music - Time and Date With CM7

Hi everyone
Recently I flashed CM7 and everything works great exept for playing music. Whenever I play music the phone doesn't let me unlock the lockscreen. The lockscreen comes up, but it doesn't respond to my touching. I've used different music player but that doesn't help. The lockscreen gets frozen.
Im using CM7 with as music player PowerAMP (tweaking the audio didn't help either). I also use Launcher Pro.
Maybe the standard music player from CM7 works better, but I unistalled it..... does anyone know where to find the .apk for that music player?
Another problem is that the time and date always jump back to 01-01-1980 and 12:00. Anyone has a solution for this?
I hope you could help me

I think the problem is that you uninstall the stock music player.
You can find that apk file from the CM7 zip file which is the whole ROM you have flashed in recovery.
Open the zip and go to /system/app/Music.apk that's the apk
Somehow that apk file isn't in the system/app folder. But I'll look into the .zip file on my computer, maybe it's in there.
Thanks anyway

[Q] Anyone use N7 Player?

Hi,
Does anyone use N7 Player as a default music player?
If so, I was wondering if anyone knows how to display music that do not yet have an album tag filled in for the mp3 file..
I do not want to, and I do not plan on using any album tag downloading apps. (And also, these apps probably won't even help me because 99% of my songs are not English songs)
I am going through this exercise manually to ensure all my music files have 100% accurate album names, but until then, I still want to be able to see all my music in N7 Player... Any pro tips?
Also, another thing I want to ask is, whenever I add an album art to an mp3 file, I cannot seem to have the music player (ANY music player, not just N7) to show the updated album art... The only way I know how to refresh the album art is to reboot my phone, insert my music files, and then reboot again. (Even then, sometimes this doesn't work..)
Any help is greatly appreciated!
