Default audio player / Ford sync / Bluetooth - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I was hoping someone could help me with the default media player when syncing via Bluetooth with a Ford Sync radio.
Im using CM9, and when I choose Bluetooth input on my radio, my Gnex automatically starts playing music with Apollo. Is there a way to remove that as a default option, or change the default to a different media player, like Pocket Casts or something else?
Any help would be appreciated!
** the launch by default option in setting/apps is greyed out and not changeable

Have you tried going into setting->apps->Apollo
And pressing clear defaults?

I have, no dice though... the "clear defaults" button is inactive.

you could try going into your system files and deleting the apollo.apk
Never liked that player anyways

So I deleted the Apollo apk, fixed that problem. Now when I sync via Bluetooth to my radio, Google music automatically starts playing. I have gone into app settings and tried to clear the defaults, but its still greyed out and not a changeable option...
Any other ideas?

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but did you manage to fix it?

Could always buy a tasker, I would imagine those settings are buried deep in a .dex file

[Q] music app opens wrong app

I'm having a problem where I can't seem to open google music. It worked the first day I got this phone but now whenever I click the icon, it just opens the last app I had opened. This also happens on my galaxy tab 10.1. It's really annoying because I really wanna listen to music but I can't seem to get it to open. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Have you tried going to Settings, Apps, Google Music and click clear defaults
I had the same problem until exiting out of all the apps it opened.

I have the same issue (4.01). Don't know what, besides a restart, can fix it, you can circumwent it with the music widget, though.

What if your defaults for Amazon already says "No defaults set" but it still plays to Amazon first?

Music not showing up on twiz player.

I have a question regarding the twiz music player. I'm on jellyb and somehow my stock music player or the Walkman can't "see" some of my music even thought they're in mp3 format. I've tried renaming the damn songs and they still don't pop up. I am able to play them using es explorer and having it play through stock app but it's just not popping up. Any ideas of how I could fix this?

If you just put on phone you might need to rescan media. There are apps in play store to force a rescan. Then I had a problem in the past where a app was creating a .nomedia file so the media scanner skipped that folder.

Almost like deja vu. Having the same issue in either the stock music player or Play Music. Just moved over to Note 2 from S3 and didn't have this happen on S3. Tried unmounting and mounting external SD card so as to force a rescan, no dice.
So i just rebooted the phone, went to Music Player and it's blank, says i have no music on phone. While contemplating what to do next (including downloading a re-scan media app from the market) i just let it alone and a minute later all my music started showing up and populating. I guess it took its sweet time to re-scan or get it's head right.

Only other couple things off the top of my head would be go to settings and application manager find the music player and try clearing data. My guess is that won't work since it's multiple players. Other thing I know some songs I downloaded from a mp3 app before didn't show until I updated the id3 tag for some reason. The ones that didn't show had a bunch of garbage in the id3 mostly random symbols. Once they got corrected they started showing up for me. But that was when I had my epic touch. Hope it works for ya.

Songs not showing up

Okay. I've tried on root box and now axis m. Any songs I add after installing WILL NOT show up. I have tried restarting, forcing a media scan with an app "rescan media" nothing works. Please help me before I lose my mind..

Check for any folders labeled " .no media ". That will prevent media scanner from seeing that folder.

No..nothing like that..even selected "show hidden"

Check settings on your media player. Sometimes it's not looking in what it thinks is the right place. For example, you know your music is on your external sd. But if your music player is looking for in /storage/sdcard1 for music and its actually labeled as /storage/extSdCard, it won't see it.

How do I do that on the stock Samsung music player..I don't see it

On the stock player,I have no idea. Try using one of the free players on the market. Maybe it's Rom related, or it could be the stock player.

[Q] How to set Play Music as default Music Player???

Hi, I'm using a Tmobile Galaxy S3 running stock rooted 4.1.2 and I have uninstalled the default music app from samsung because I don't like it.
I'd like to set Google's Play Music app as my default. I do have Amazon's MP3 Player because there are vouchers for free mp3s' every now and then.
The problem is that when I enter my car, bluetooth starts automatically the Amazon MP3 Player instead of the Play Music app. Same case when I plug in my headphones and press play it launches Amazon MP3 app. As of now I froze the app using Titanium Backup, but that is a workaround only.
How can I make the Play Music my Default music app?
Undefault the amazon app by going through settings and apps manager and unselecting default app.

At first I thought this will work but the app is not set to default.
Than that is weird lol. I don't use the app so I can't tell you on what to do. Never seen this brought up either, at least not in our section. It isn't an S3 only issue so you may want to try Googling it.
