Hi. Is it possible to get the good old walkman apk for our devices, like in the attached "walkman.jpg"?
To me it's a little annoying to drag in from the left to get in to albums, instead of just having it all at start-screen See "screenshot.jpg".
Did u try to install older version of walkman?
Id it wont work only way will be root, delete walkman and than install older

Succes
Tried to delete SemcMusic.apk from system/app, but everytime I booted up, walkman showed up as normal.
Had to delete it in data/app folder too, then push old walkman to system/app - reboot - then install as normal app from within system/app folder.
It's the good old walkman layout again. The way I like it
Thanks for your reply :good:

Hey guys I don't know how to make Music.apk run after installing it on Walter's Defy+ ROM...
I searched the forum and did what ppl say: put Music.apk to system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r-- reboot the phone.
After that, depending of Music.apk, I have immediate FC (with CM7 Music.apk)or I can enter the app and get FC after selecting music track to play (with MS2Ginger 1.1 Music.apk)
I really don't like BlurMusic.apk so I would like to change it somehow
Please help...
ps. After removing every Music app from phone I managed to install Leaked Google Music app 4.0.1: Link
But that way it's not system app but User's...And I don't like this Music app that much (widget is so ugly and stupid)
try PlayerPro
It's my favorite music player app and you can install light blue skin that nicely goes with 2.3.4 blur firmware.

I think the permissions should be rwxr--r--. Worked for me.

copy music.apk in system/app via root explorer(before copying press 'mount r/w' icon at the top, it will than change to r/o). long press the file you just copied. from the menu choose permissions and from there enable read/wright/execute in user category. then reboot
Nope, it's not gonna happen
So, Im using ES file explorer, but with root rights and mounted File system...I did change permissions to rwx r-- r--, and rebooted, and FC
Tried with cm7 Music.apk, with miui Music.apk, with MS2Ginger 1.1 Music.apk...
I don know what else should I try...Maybe reflash the whole thing and start from the beggining?
Oh yeah, I uninsttaled blur Music.apk...Maybe that is why nothing is workin...But that is a silly thought
............
Or just install PlayerPro
i have system dump file of SG S Plus music player but i cannot seem to install it on defy with Defy + Gingerbread Rom.CAn Anyone try to install or is there any method to install??? i really like the looks nd cover flow of samsung player .i have attached the music.apk file maybe anyone can try get it install
I also had a problem, when I tried to install the Atrix music player. The solution was to copy it to system/app folder (with root explorer or a similar app), change permissions and reboot phone. (Thanks to spear1403 for that advice.)

Hi,
This morning I tried to install the xperia S apk file to my xperia arc s running on android 4.03.
However before replacing, I took a backup of existing home.apk using root explorer.
I replaced the existing one with a new home.apk and then did a reboot.
After reboot I am not able to see the home.apk at all in the default application list.
I did a factory reset but still dont see the home.apk.
Now i am unable to see the screen itself. Kindly help me to restore the home.apk
Small query: Is it possible to install home.apk file from CWM recovery?
Please guide me
Did you changed permission before replacing the apk?
To make it working you need to change the permission of Home.apk then replace and reboot.
Permission should be like this-
r-w-
r - -
r - -
So I guess now your problem is that you can power on your device then but it is stuck @ boot logo right?
IF yes then you might try this.
Download this launcher from the link below. It's Zeam launcher and it's free available in the market.
http://www.mediafire.com/?991i94rx5kaxy85
After downloading, unzip it and put the apk. in to the following flashtools location-
Flashtools\Custom\app\ [I assume you have flashtools installed and also have root access]
Then open Flashtools and power on the device and connect it. Your device will stuck @ boot logo, no problem just connect it.
Then you should see that in Flashtools displays a message that "root access allowed"
Then @ top bar of flashtools you will see some icons. One of them is a curved arrow and that indicates apk installer. Click it and it should install the Zeam launcher to your device.
Then you restart the device and you will be able to use the phone using Zeam Launcher. You can restore the Home.apk as well.
This was the complicated way.
Now if u have CWM recovery installed and can boot in to recovery then you just need a flashable zip of the Home.apk
There are many Flashable Zip available in the Theme & Apps section. Download one from that. Then put that zip in to you SD card. Reboot in recovery and install that zip.
Since you can not operate your phone directly so may need a Card reader to access the memory card of your phone to save the Zip there.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I guess I made the work more complicated but I could learn something out of it.
I actually could restore the home.apk in a bit different and complex manner as compared to your solution.
I entered the CWM more and did a factory reset and then did a reboot.
Once done, I got all the steps of registering mobile for first use
I could get into settings but couldn't get to the home screen to access applications. So I did some stupid work but seems like that was a life savior
I connected a headset and there was a pop up stating "a new accessory connected"
From that i could select an application for launch and I chose "Application Installer". I could now access the apk files from application installer and then i installed one home.apk (I guess its for xperia S) and then did a reboot.
I am now able to see the homescreen and everything but its the homescreen of xperia S. Now i got back into the root explorer app and then tried to change the permission of home.apk (xperia S) to the one you just suggested and then replaced the home.apk (default apk for xperia arc s) and replaced and did a reboot.
But I still see that home.apk is not replaced with the default home.apk of xperia arc S.
Is it possible to get back my default home.apk (xperia arc S) if so please guide me.
Sorry for being so stupid and messing up things here. This is the first time I am trying to work with a root device.
Aside from setting permissions and changing owner to "root", you need to go into settings, apps, all and clear the data for Xperia Home. Then reset. It's worked for me on both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.
If you can access root explorer then i believe you can easily replace with the original Home.apk of Xperia ARC S
This is the link for Xperia ARC S Home.apk of ICS 4.0.3
http://www.mediafire.com/?s4m6f8d9dmqhp0g
And do this and it's a must as adielee mentioned.
Clear the data after replacing. I forgot mention it earlier.
Heya,
I had the same issue and this is what caused it; not enough free space on the system partition (/system).
Go to the /system folder an delete bloatware apk's and/or .apk's you don't need, like the clock widgets and/or the powersaver.
After I did that, I had like 8 Mb of free space and then I installed a new/edited home.apk & rebooted into to new home
After the boot, the system partition only had 500Kb free space while the home.apk was only 1.5Mb.
And yes, it is possible to make your own CWM installer for the home.apk
Take a look at this post; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23358807&postcount=94
Download the .zip file and copy your home.apk into the .zip (overwrite existing file!)
Worked Perfectly !!
I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly now!!! thanx auni & adielee!!

ahh,next to ics rom.
Problem 1:
Some users find that the Swype is force closing, and the absence of gallery and music in App drawer.
If you face this problem, here is what you can do:
1. Using root explorer, delete Swype.apk from System/app (or) uninstall swype using link2sd.
2. Try looking for play music and gallery ics apk in system /app. If present MOVE them to SD card using root explorer. Tap rw at the top to move.
3. Reboot.
4. Install the following attached apk's in the post: SwypeICS.apk, and GalleryICS.apk, Google play music. apk or from the apks which you just moved to your SD card. For better performance of play music, again move the apk to System /app...and set permissions to rwrr. (Tick the first two boxes in the first row and the 1st box in the other two rows) and reboot.
5.Enjoy.
Problem 2:
ICS Gallery is not working on my phone.
Solution:Have you done it properly? Try again. I've fixed the link. Still if it doesn't work, I'm afraid you will have to install the old Gingerbread Gallery. Copy and paste gallery3D.apk from attachments into System/app using root explorer, set permissions to rwrr and reboot.
Problem 3:
Status Bar does not appear.
Solution: Re Install the ROM from beginning. It happened because the flashing was not done properly.
