Is Google Music the default music app on the SGN? (i.e. open a .mp3 from explorer, what is the default app that should open)?
Reason I ask, is my phone doesn't know how to open a .mp3 and Google Music is one of the apps I removed. It pops up a list of two apps I've installed when I select a .mp3 file. (ES Music player, or XiiaLive) but nothing for the stock music app.
Yep. It should open in Google Music by default.
Google Music will not pop up as an option if you have disabled it...

Is there any way to change the default music application, so that when a Bluetooth solution triggers the Incredible's music player, it is something other than the stock?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
not positive, but what if you renamed the .apk for music to .apk.bak and renamed the music player you want to the default music player name? Seem's reasonable.
Hello There, As im exploring The Captivates Somewhat good OS Tweaks of the Phone, Some people May Download better music players, Now the android music player definetly isn't the best one:/ So if you hate having to go ALL THE WAY to that one certain music app heres how to make The Original music player go to your Other Music Player So I was annoyed for days because the default music player was automatically popping up or playing instead of ZPlayer in my case. I could not find a exact answer online so with some determination I figured it out my self and hope this will help out someone else.
1st you want to go to your settings- click applications- manage applications
Click the All applications list, now go to every music player in your app list including your default one make sure the play by default button is not checked, if it is checked clear it. Then be sure that your force quit them all.
2nd now setting default player is not in the settings which is why its so annoying to figure out. Your phone comes with a folder called " My Files" if you haven't gotten rid of that, open that folder and find a music file and when you try to play it from there a choose player window will pop up. Now BEFORE You choose the player you want as your default click the checkbox first will have green checkmark. Then choose what player u want as your default from the list and its set.
To verify go back to settings click applications- manage applications- all applications scroll to the music player u set as default and the box at the bottom should now be checked as your default music player.

It`s great! thx!
I've been thinking about switching back to Play Music or ubermusic, but the default Samsung one plays nice with the lockscreen and that's just too convenient.
Hey guys,
Currently using the Hellkat ROM but I had the same "issue" with JediMindTrick.
Issue is, even though I set Poweramp as the default music player in Android, some apps withe the option to launch music still uses the ROM stock music player when using such an option.
Example, Apollo is the stock music player in the Hellkat rom and after installing Poweramp I set it as my default music player. But when I select the music icon from within the Runkeeper app, it launches Apollo instead of my default player.
I searched for quite a few hours today and found some information related to "intent". I'm not a DEV some bare with my ignorance but tis apparently a way for devs to link to a stock app from their application.
So since Runkeeper and other such apps aren't giving the choice of which app to use when selecting the music icon and start the stock music app instead, I was wondering if there was a way to change the "stock" music app, by editing a conf file or something...?
Thanks!
Download an app to remove system apps from the play store and remove the offending app. It will usually clear the defaults if it's properly uninstalled and you can then set your default music player to your preferred one.
go to settings >> apps and get app info for the stock music player. clear the defaults and see if that works.
if not you can download titanium bavkup pro from the pla store and delete the default player so your phone has no choice but to use your preferred music app.
I use player pro as my music app but I don't want to use Apollo as my default anyone knows how to make player pro my default music player?

Settings -> Apps -> Apollo -> Clear defaults
Then open a music file (.mp3 or whatever) via a file explorer. You will be prompted what app to open the file with.
Or alternatively just uninstall/disable Apollo.
Well weird stuff happened. Its first time im using Zooper and I downloaded "Flat for Zooper Widget Pack". I downloaded Media Utilities too and only Spotify is selected for Music app in MTU. But despite of that, whenever I try to open music from widget, Zooper or MTU is forcing Google Music to launch. Widget is working well with Google Music. I mean I can pause music, change music etc. but I can't even launch Spotify with my widgets. Any help?
