how do i delete this pile of garbage? I rooted my phone but have yet to install a rom.
You can use titanium backup to unstall it.
ok, which brings me back to my original question, "how". I dont know what it is called or where its located.
and the damn thing just takes over while using my blue tooth headset to pause and play etc.
thanks you for the help.
tried ti bu 5 times and it still leaves it in there, now what?
use a file manager ( i prefer root explorer) go to system apps, find music / music player and delete it. i am pretty sure it will not return again. but it will be "gone" for good.
View attachment SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk
for sure this works
sweet! that did the trick, thank you very much!!
the stock music player for most roms is just called "music." With TB, just go the app list, look for music, tap app, then tap uninstall, tap ok, tap ok. It'll be in your removed app list at the bottom. From there if you want, you can delete permanently.

Hello everyone, this morning I went to check my phone and all my pictures and music is gone... I checked my sdcard and there all still there but they won't show up in gallery nor music player....help!...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm using build #41 cm7 if that makes any difference.....thx.
Try reflash of rom or use a stable one
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread
Is there any .nomedia files or a . infront of the folder name? if there is, remove them and they should work again. Or you can try the media scanner in the development app.
Also if your like me and never turn your phone off. A simple step is to reboot the phone. Just something i often forget to do. Or try opening one up with a file explorer app then choose gallery or music app to open it with.

If you've rooted, and have Dev Tools, use the "Media Scanner" option in that app. It'll re-read all your media on your SD card.
any success?

Nice.
If anyone has troubles installing it like I had because of the stock music.apk, use titanium backup to backup the stock apk, then uninstall it, reboot your phone and install the new apk.

Thnaks it was very useful post but how i should install Music Theme Template.zip because it is zip file should i change it to apk ????
Nice look and everything... But for some reason, mine stops/pauses song in between change or in the middle of the song. This happens randomly between 2-5 songs. Highly annoying.
I'm using CM9.
Last time I tried to install it through pushing inside system/apps/ and deleting the old music player and rebooting before using it crashed. it even crashed after wiping dalvik...can it be its because cm9 for sgs2 is experimental rom?
Hey, im on MIUI and everytime i go to install it says problem parsing package.. im guessing its not working for MIUI yet?
Only for 4.0.3+

Same here on latest ICS for HTC Desire from here
Don't understand why they made the widgets with those blue titles... all white, just like in the stock ICS widget, was fine.
But overall it works gr8.

The unwanted pausing is a feature, not a bug!
Switch off the pausing when it thinks you flipped the phone around in the settings and you're good. Worked for me.

At first I thought that too but it's not the case in SGS2. It is a bug indeed and very annoying
It randomly starts up in my pockets like once a day and plays whatever song i was on last. Not sure if this is part of the flip/shake to play-pause thing and/or a widget issue.
Probably a combination of having the widget on and shaking my leg or somthing.
GN GSM stock + root
Was the 17 Jan one the latest version up?
Worked great for a few days then constant Music Has Stopped Working. Anyone else having this now? Using Hacksung Build 13 on my Captivate.
For people having trouble installing (remember this is for Ice Cream Sandwich - Android 4.x only) this worked for me:
- Use Titanium Backup to backup HTC Music then (*optional)
- On ROOTED phone use ES File Explorer (enable: 'Root Explorer' & 'Mount File System' first) to move HTC-Listen.apk, com.htc.MusicWidget.apk and HtcMusicEnhancer.apk to /mnt/sdcard/abckup/apps/ (if you want to restore should CM9 Music not suit/work) (*?optional?)
- Reboot phone (*?optional?)
- Copy downloaded CM9 Music.apk to phone (using preferred method)
- Use ES File Explorer to copy CM9 Music.apk to /system/app/
- Click on the CM9 Music.apk file to install (make sure you have enabled 'Unknown sources' in System > Security to allow install of non-market apps)
CM9 Music should now be available in main menu and add widget options
Enjoy!

[Edit] Mind you it is crashy (effects = f/c and seems to have now stopped working (re-install fixes), I also don't rememebr seeing the process 'DRM-Protected-Pontent Storage' running before either, and doubt it is there to help! Hmmm...more on DRM at hxxp://developer.android.com/reference/android/drm/package-summary.html thought it might have been removed on the ARHD 6.1.x ROM, still
installed it very nice looking but went back to stock music app as my bluetooth headset wouldnt control it i.e. pause, play, next, previous would not work with it.
The music app works great I installed it with musicfx for it and removed dsp manager and not had any issues except force closing on one song only that one song so I removed it and works great
After some more extensive testing, I found it to be pretty stable and very nice. A lot faster with my 12 GB of music than stock, but it sometimes when I open it while it's playing, the playback continues nicely, yet the application becomes unusable. That is, it hardly responds and after a couple of seconds it asks me to close it. When I reopen, it is fine again. That is kind of annoying, so for now I'll switch back to stock...would love to try a later release though...
Keep up the good work!
Looks great! Does it sync with Google Music?
This seems like a silly question, but I can't seem to find the voice recorder app on the HTC One. I see it under settings->apps->all, but there doesn't seem to be a way to actually access it. I've tried adding widgets/apps/shortcuts but it's not there.

I was wondering the same thing. Voice Recorder and Stocks can be seen in a custom launcher like Nova or Apex or an app called Control Center in the Play store. However, Stocks app is broken. This is not the case with other providers. Gotta love Verizon! lol

Well Its funny but the same problem happened with me while using my xperia.. and I used to use that application via whats app voice message as if they are not sent , they just got saved in gallery...and after a long time i didnt find it exactly where it is in phone and then I just downloaded a separate app for it.....:laugh:
I remember this problem when i had my dinc 4G I before s-off the device. I can't remember the EXACT steps to get it to show up, but i got it to show up as a shortcut. I don't have this phone YET, but i will tell you what i can remember.
1) Download ES file explorer.
2) Go into the device system/app folder and locate the HTCsound recorder apk , and try to install it. If you are not rooted it will fail. That is fine.
3) In ES file explorer go to tools - > app manager then system apps and find the htc sound recorder.
4) Long press it until it checks and then go to the menu and choose send to desktop.
This is how i got a SHORTCUT to the app on my non rooted dinc 4G.
I honestly do not know if it will work with this phone but though i throw it out to see if someone can try.
I prefer to use Easy Voice Recorder since it is capable of recording phone calls (incoming and outgoing voice) with no special setup. Not that I really need to record calls, but cool that the feature is there, unlike the built in recorder which pauses the recording when a phone call starts up

Thanks, this was super helpful. A more direct route might be to download QuickShortcutMaker, and then to search for "recorder". That brings up the HTC recorder app, and easily creates a shortcut to the home screen.

i have tonnes of music albums and the album art is showing all over in my gallery app. In the g3, there is a function to hide them but not available in g4.
any workarounds here?
QuickPic
Have you tried holding the pic down to lock it that will hide it you can also do that for a whole folder.

No option to lock any folders on mine. I had to do .nomedia in Explorer to get them to go away. Temp fix.

yes i did and it doesnt work like the g3 anymore.
I have a similar problem, I also want to hide some folders in the stock gallery.
You cannot lock an folder, just single files, but that's not what I want, because then I cannot access those files with my filemanager, too.
I don't want to lock them, I want to hide them. As far as I see it, there's no method to do this.
And using the .nomedia or similar workarounds won't work too, since the files are on my external SD card.
I do not want to use third party apps, there must be way...

Any reason why you refuse to use third party apps? Quickpic works so well that I hadn't considered the stock app even slightly when I got the G4. Ability to sync photos with drive and Dropbox along with added functionality like hiding albums is the reasonwhy the stock app is considered inferior, at least IMO.

I'm with you on that. The only way I was able to satisfy this need was to put a .nomedia file in the folders I wanted to hide.

Well, I don't want to download and use apps that I wouldn't need.
But I just gave QuickPic a try, and I gotta say, this is pretty good. I'm gonna use it instead of the stock gallery now. It's faster and has the ability to hide albums.:good:
You can.lock files with a passcode or pattern. Hit the 3 dot menu under gallery. You might have to go to settings security to enable it first.
Naughty naughty pictures probably. Put a file with a file name of ".nomedia" in that folder, any text editor can create a new file but make sure you save it with the .nomedia filename.
Very naughty. Don't want my nieces to see when they play games but want them stored for... I actually don't even know why. I don't even look at them.
Guys, putting a .nomedia is also hiding the mp3s from Music app.

Separate folders. I don't have problems with music covers with PowerAmp
ok, let me clarify myself.
I want to use the stock Gallery and stock Music app. Now how can i hide the album arts from stock Gallery without hiding the mp3s from stock Music app.
placing a .nomedia, hides everything from Gallery and Music. Please help!!!
Settings > Content Lock > Choose pattern or password. Once enabled head over to your gallery/folder and press the 3 dotted thing located on the top right hand corner and press 'Lock'.

I don't think you can do this. When hiding ("locking") in the stock Gallery, you literally lock the file: it gets encrypted. So you cannot open the file with a regular file manager anymore. Thus I believe the stock Music App cannot read the files either. When you lock each album art seperately the mp3s will still be there in the music app, the album art won't however. I can only advise you to choose a different app for your gallery. I've been using QuickPic for a while now and it's really good (and can hide your album art).
Try to rename the cover pic in albumart.jpg , I use the stock gallery and I do not see the cover pics

I have an HTC One M8 (which I adore) and I've having small problem for which I'm seeking help. When I go to Settings>Sound & Notification>Ringtone I see a list of the system ringtones. I want to add my own but when I press the Plus (+) key nothing happens. I'm not presented with a file browser, message or even an error. It's very possible that something I've loaded on my phone or a process I've frozen is causing the problem but so far I can't track it down. If anyone has thought or opinion on this issue I sure would love to hear it.
Thank you!
Phone stats and info:
Model: HTC6525LVW
Android version: 5.0.1
HTC Sense version: 6.0
HTC SDK API level: 6.55
Carrier: Verizon
Rooted with Sunshine
No custom rom
Using Xposed Framework with the following modules: Deny Location Consent, Sense Toolbox, YouTube AdAway, YouTube Background Playback
Running AdAway
I've tweaked lots of things with Sense Toolbox and I've frozen a few processes with Titanium Backup mostly related to shutting down OTA updates.
Use the function of ,,Set as Ringtone" from Music Player.That will add the ringtone you want in the list.

Dude you are a genius. I tried to follow your instructions but I couldn't find an app called Music player. I looked around for a while and then figured I'd go check Titanium Backup. There is an app called Music which I had frozen. As soon as I unfroze it I was able to open my file using the app and then was able to set as ringer.
On a hunch I went back and checked the settings for ringers and now the + sign works again. It was the frozen Music app which was preventing the + from working.
Thank you sir!
