I need the stock musicplayer.apk for my epic4g

So I just got the randomrom, and I noticed it doesn't have stock music player , and I like that music player because it has the options to puase forward previous on the notification menu, no other music player has that so far that I've used or know of. So can someone , give me the .apk file to that?

Here ya go, it might be from ef02 but im not sure. you have to use sdxstockappremover (http://roc-city.com/android/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk) to install it put the apk in sdcard/sdx/backup/app/ and use the restore option
hope this helps

I have not the slightest clue how to do that . Can you explain it to me in well writen instruction, can I do this over my phone? Or will I need my computer?

Do this instead(might be easier for you) Put this on the root of your sd card(this ones from froyo ec05): http://db.tt/7sxDLX4
Download ES file explorer from the market
Go into its settings and turn on the both root options.
Copy and paste the apk into /system/app
Then turn of the root options in settings, the bottom one first.
Exit the file explorer
Reboot
Voila.

ok so basically its just an apk file but it is a system app so you cant install it directly by pressing install it will say unsucsessful which is why you need the sdx tool. the sdx tool is for managing system apps (like musicplayer.apk) which is a very simple and useful app. you dont need a computer
Step 1. You need a file manager from the market i use androzip
step 2. download and install http://roc-city.com/android/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk and perform a backup of any system file (ex. AccountAndSyncSettings.apk) to establish the folders in your sd card
Step 3. use androzip (or any file manager) to navigate to sdcard/tapatalkxdapre_download/ and copy musicplayer.apk (assuming you already downloaded it with the xda app) to sdcard/sdx/backup/app/
Step 4. go to sdxstockappremover in your app drawer and hit manage backups and if everything is alright it will be there aong with the other app you backed up so just check it and hit restore selected files.

I will attempt both methods if one does not work, Thank you guys for your help. Oh another thing. Can you guys give me a feedback on the syenergy rom if it is good for epic, If so what features does it have that are good , no just give me the pros and cons.

Synergy-cons its old and uses eb13, go with midnight 5.5 or srf 1.2

Hope you get it working! I can't answer about ROMS, since I haven't used one yet, but if you want froyo, go Syndicate Frozen ROM 1.2 or the latest MidNight.

Yippee!
Install this sucka and enjoy your HULU PLUS account as you should on your device, trouble free.
If you do have trouble with the never-ending buffer, as shown in attached pic, unblock ads via host files.
Just open up Adfree and click revert. And there go you ;] took me a day to figure that out hehe.

Credit goes to jase33 for this Titanium Backup method if the apk does not work for you. Just extract into the Tianium Backup folder and restore =]

Correct, TB needs root to operate. If you want the best way to root, completely stock with root, and keeping your own kernel,

Got it to work. The Hulu.apk did not install. If you have super user installed and Titanium working properly then do the following:
Extract the 3 files in Hulu Backup-1.zip to the location of your Titanum back ups and then restore.
I had to use the task killer to kill titanium, it was stuck in the restoring screen. Hulu is working like a charm!

Yup, just extract the files into the titanium backup folder in your SD and search for it inside Titanium.

I got it launch the app after using the restore method. However, when I try to watch anything it says buffering and then after a bit it says that I am having network issues eventhough I am connected via my wifi and browsing hulu to find the show I want to watch. Any ideas how to fix this?

The restore method worked perfect for me also. The buffering is caused by the ad block on your phone. You will need to delete the hosts file in system/etc.

Do you need a certain rom?? I can't download it from my phone and I downloaded it to my computer end then to my phone and can't do, any thing from thst either....

Hmm fresh wipe of what, data/cache/dalvik? Even if you had adfree before, blocking ads, it would still be blocked without having the app because the host file is in /system so anything short of factory reset/Odin wouldn't change this.
Download again adfree and press revert.

tried the apk from that thread.... made some progress, now i can watch movies that have no commercials. oddly enough, tv shows will play the commercials and then crap out when it comes time to load the video.
I had a stock hulu apk working with a stock/rooted rom, no such luck after moving to a custom rom.

so an update in case anyone is wondering. After clearing cache/reflashing the bare 2.8.1 calks rom i installed the stock apk (from the link I posted above) and it works fine now.

[TWEAK/HACK][ICS][GB] Data Speed

This is my Data Speed Tweak that would be found in my "DARKSTAR" ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22991708#post22991708 )
It is a flashable .zip
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS ITS ON YOU!!!
This has been tested on 3 gingerbread ROMs and 2 ICS ROMs, but it should work on any rooted ROM (including stock) on the E4GT.
Code:
installing
1.) reboot into CWM or any custom recovery
2.) install from external SDcard
3.) reboot
i went from .32 megabits/sec (fastest) to .75 megabits/sec (slowest) (on 3G)
**This will work in most areas but not all.**

What does this change to increase 3g speed?

it adds a file to the system part of a ROM

When i go to install this in cwm, I get a Error status 6, installation aborted. Yes it is on the external sd card. any ideas?

First try and reinstall. i prefer to install from my pc because it seems more reliable that dling from my phone. test speeds before and after and let us know how it goes. what cwm are you using. you might want to try the latest zip/tar for your build if your not already on it.

it puts a file in the /system/etc and it tell the radio how to connect to the network and it increase the connection speed for a faster download

Is this just a script that does the DNS or whatever changes to skip the Sprint proxies?
If so awesome, good stuff =) If not I'd love to know so I can try this as well.
For those who haven't seen it before though, you can do it manually from this Qbking vid.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LnUFd4osq8
It helped mine out a little bit.. doubled it probably though trust me it wasn't impressive beforehand so doubling wasn't much of an accomplishment.

Is it a file that can just's be pushed into the proper folder? Flashing doesn't seem to be working for me

no that dns bypass is possible via a build.prop edit but thats not what this is, this is just simply a sysctl tweak, you can read about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523707 op should update his post that it works on ALL android because we ALL have the linux kernel

Perhaps those that have already done it manually can't do by CWM because there is no change to the script?

You just answered my question, I'm about to bake this in my own little rom. Samsung forums always make me feel funny because everything is the same but with a lil diffrent tweak or theme here or there so I never release my work

something else kinda odd is the date on the one already on my system is dated 01 Aug 08 the one from your zip is dated 14 Nov 11. But they both have exact same lines within the script. And they are both 540bytes. MD5 has same number as well. I don't know if any of this info is helping anyone, but just trying to share what I am getting on my end.

[MOD]Phantom's Build.prop Tweaks

Taking this down for now, I have a rom coming out tonight
Hey all, some of you may know me from other sammy forums. I currently don't have a galaxy s iii yet, so am limited to what I can do in terms of development at the moment, but would like to release some build prop tweaks for you guys to get things running a little smoother.
The build.prop is attached at the bottom, just unzip and adb push to /system or place it there using root explorer and change permissions to match the existing file.. Enjoy, I will have more to come soon
For the latest lf9 Update.

Awesome to see you here! Used Blazer on my SII right up until last month! Can't wait to see whats in store.

Probably just forgot. For future reference, It's something you should always do when replacing a system file. Change permissions to match the existing file.

What Happened to Running Apps?

Hey!
Today I tried to install some running apps and I noticed that not a single one is compatible with Gio and a few months ago I had MapMyRun installed without any problem...Now I can't install them from any place. I tried directly from the Apk file and it says application not installed. Already tried Endomondo, Run Keeper, Nike Running, Map My Run...The only one I managed to install was Zombies, Run!
What happened?
