[Q] System/app - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to delete the stock HTC/Android music players and use Winamp only. Can I put Winamp into system/app and use it as the default music player? Is there any special way to do it and will there be any issues? Thanks in advance.

You can use it as default without deleting the stock player. Removing the stock music app could cause issues, so if you want to try it, I'd either back up the app with Titanium Backup (or freeze it) or make a nandroid backup first. To freeze apps - and possibly backup system apks - you need the Pro version of TB or another app that will do the same.
After removing the stock music player, if you do so successfully, it isn't necessary to move Winamp to /system/app.

Thanks plainjane, you always have my back. The reason I ask is I don't like a lot of different apps that do the same thing on my phone. If removing it might cause issues I'll just freeze them. I do have TB pro. Thanks again. Off the topic but, would you know why my participated topics are not showing up on the xda app on my EVO?

Mine don't show either, now that you mention it. I use Tapatalk but I've purchased the XDA app, so I'll download it & check there in a sec. I've never used the "participated" tab, though. I just go to profile and then posts if I want to check stuff I've recently posted.
If freezing doesn't cause any issues, you can then remove it safely. I'd make a backup of it in TB though, just in case. And since you already have the app, you can easily convert Winamp to a system app. As I said, not necessary, but shouldn't hurt anything.
Edit: No go in XDA app either. You can contact someone about it if it's a feature you regularly use, maybe someone can get it sorted out.

Have u rebooted yet? Sometimes probs don't pop up til rebooting after freezing. I thought I was clear then rebooted into FC city =\

I did just reboot after I did the zipthemer 4X5 work space thing.
Sent from my Tomatoe-fied! EVO using xda premium

As long as you survived a reboot you should be safe to delete, I would make a backup of the app incase you run into an issue later on.
Sent from my -EViLizED-EVO-

Yea, I'll do that. I don't really need all the different music players and I really like Win amp. I like streamlined, 1 if my favorite apps for whatever I need. What I was looking to do was what you did with your apps from Go. Kinda migrate them in to the ROM.
Sent from my Tomatoe-fied! EVO using xda premium

Yea that's a lot of work.to migrate go that's y I'm building a Rom with em pre loaded as system apps so no one has to do all the work over and over

I've been uninstalling the stock music app for as long as I can remember.
Never had an issue.

Thanks for the help.

Evil, thank you. How did you migrate the apps to system/app? I keep getting force closes. Does there need to be an odex of the app as well?

My phone got hacked remotely help

I have evo running cm7 someone hacked my phone they got my txt msgs and forwarded them. I always have my phone. How can I find out how they did this and how can I prevent this.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
OK, well it really isnt possible to remotly hack a phone unless you installed an app that let somebody do this. So, two questions, what have you installed recently, and how do you know somebody hacked your phone?
Well really nothing and I also get 10 to 15 blocked calls a day I have Mr number blocker installed to block these but somehow some get through to my voicemail. The messages were saved and the whole thread was forwarded. Also pictures get forwarded and phone makes calls by itself
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Sounds weird.
Full wipe and/or factory reset just to be safe. Probably not a good idea to use any backups from the infected rom.
LBE Security is an app for free on the market.
It'll prompt you if an untrusted app tries to do anything malicious like that.
Swyped from my Htc Evo using XDA App.
How does he know that they were forwarded.... probably someone was messing with your phone
With adb you can use the following to find out what all is running, whatever is doing it should show up on there
Code:
adb shell ps
I always keep my phone on me. I know they were forwarded because my ex got pic and messages and I did not send them thanks guys

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
check your apps through TB or manage apps and see what is all on your phone, maybe your ex or someoene installed something on your phone to forward texts.. i had a ex try and install a app on my phone (cant remeber its name), this app was suppose to be hidden and only accessable by hiting some numbers on the dial pad and hitting send.. But i noticed right away somethign was weird in my phone (it was acting real slow) and i looked in applications and manage apps and found it and uninstalled it..
Looked at my apps, saw nothing weird

If you're on of those people who believe your phone can get hacked I'd suggest lookout security or avg free antivirus to ease your mind.
Yea, I find it hard to believe someone hacked your phone JUST to send pictures to your ex girlfriend. Are you sure you didnt get drunk and send them yourself? Or let your friend borrow the phone?
I don't drink and its happening well thanks anyway I guess I wont find a solution here

Are you sure someone didn't sign in to your Sprint picture mail acct online? I think they can forward from there. Also if you always use the same password, they can dial your number and access your vm and forward them etc

Ghost international text messages

Does anyone know of any apps that may send international text messages to south korea. I noticed a charge on my bill and I started checking to see they went back to october. Sprint says they can't tell what the number is and I have downloaded several permissions apps from the market and the ones setup to send sms don't seem like apps that would be doing this. The charges aren't expensive but not knowing what is in these ghost texts has me worried. Thinking about odin back to stock and starting fresh. Anyone have any suggestions.

you might want to download a virus checker; maybe even odin/heimdall to start from scratch.

It's gotten really bad on my Galaxy Tab P7500. To get around it, I go to settings>applications and uninstall updates to Google play. Then I can go in and download one app before I get the error again. Real pain in the butt.

How do i get that stupid app back? I just deleted it this mrng lol
Just pull the apk from some stock non-debloated ROM.
I am more interested in knowing what system checks it runs before letting you rent/watch/download movies. I restored mine from TiB and when I launch it, it opens, circles and the opens again and cirles again. Never force closes or fully loads up. Almost like an app bootloop if you catch my drift.
In my Googling I found that in the older Vibrant, Media Hub would run a series of system checks before it would let you watch anything. I am wondering what it checks for (probably Root like Google Movies and Vudu) but what else? I have always just deleted it but for some reason this time I froze it.

Also you can re-install the ROM you have without wiping anything. I will just incase go back to Odin Stock.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I wonder if this will be something we can download and transfer to another device, or stream only.
Here's the apk guys. Just copy it to /ssystem/app/ and change the permissions to match other files in the same folder.
Also I don't know if it will work but I know paid version of SU lets you temp unroot. I think ota rootkeeper does as well.
So do I get to keep the movie or just watchable on that day?

I rooted my vibrant and never had an issue with media hub unlike google video which had to be tricked with terminal emulator to get it to work.
I rooted my gs3 and media hub works fine so far.

Sweet then. What ROM are you on btw?
I cannot get my Media Hub to stay open. It just loops and never fully stays on. I've restored, wiped apps data, replaced, cleared /cache and /dalvik and fixed permissions, defrosted all the Samsung apps and the dang app won't stay open.
I'm running Wanam's LH2 with Morfic's Alpha7b atm but think I might Odin to do a little house cleaning. Any ideas anyone?
