Hi all,
Apologies if this is the wrong place.
Has anyone created an apk for the HTC music app that can work with other android 10 devices?
I upgraded my m8 to an honor magic2 just over a year ago and continued to use HTC apps such as the music and gallery as I think they are just simply better than the stock on my honor. However, after a recent update to Android 10 on my magic2, every time I go to play a song from the HTC music app I get "unable to play this type of audio file".
My Mp3s work with the stock player and Google player but no longer works with the HTC music player. I have cleared cache/data, uninstalled and reinstalled apks but to no success.
Thanks
Mike

HTC Music has been discontinued as of the Android Oreo update.(same goes for Gallery)
It requires modifications, just to make it work on an HTC device running Oreo, and is still buggy at that.
I'd suggest finding and using an alternative and moving on.
If you insist on still trying to use it anyway, you could try the modified one from LeeDroids HTC 10 Oreo rom, though as I said, it's still gonna be buggy, as it's an outdated application.

That's a shame as it really is a decent player. Easy to use, good UI and layout and the visualizer with the added lyrics was a nice touch always helped settle my 1 year old.
I was using the HTC music 8.10.863696 apk from apkmirror which worked fine for me, wasn't buggy at all.
I will take a look at Leedroids as you mentioned thank you.
My HTC gallery 9.51.755029 still works fine with Android 10.

Hi there,
I´m not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this since this is my first post on this board.
Ok, so here is my problem:
I - proudly - own a HTC Desire and used to listen to the HTC music-player while using google maps navigation. On Android 2.1 it worked like a charm.
But then I updated to FroYo and since then it won´t run simultanously anymore.
What happens is the following:
I launch the music player
I launch the navigation app
When the first voice-output starts it mutes (or quits) the music player and won´t resume/reopen it automatically again
When I use a different music player it all work, again.
Also, when I use another navigation application (e.g. Navigon) the player keeps on working (but doesn´t mute...but I guess this is a Navigon problem).
A week ago I decided to root my Desire. For that I downgraded it to 2.1, again and used the ROM from ieftm. Unfortunately, I still do have this problem.
You may now ask "Why not use one of the other music players?".
The answer is: I "need" three points to be fullfiled by the music player:
Look nice (or at least not that crappy; for example...I don´t like the Astro player)
A working lockscreen-widget (this would eliminate the ³-player and DoubleTwist)
It should be possible to create a playlist-shortcut on the homescreen to be opened directly by this player
And...from all the players I tried the HTC player is the only one that has all this.
Anyway, I hope you guys can help me with my problem and answer some of these questions:
Has anybody an idea on how I could get maps/navigation and the music player working together again?
Anybody knows a music player that fullfilles all the points from above?
Anybody knows how I can set another music player to be opened with the homescreen-playlist-shortcuts?
Thanks in advance.
Did anybody else notice in the preview videos that the Music Beta app is the only music player on the phone? I don't currently own a phone that is supported by the Music Beta app but I thought when you download this app, it lives alongside the default music player, not replace it? But it looks like in ICS the old music player no longer exists and the Music Beta player is the default one?
Yeah. I dont know why you'd want the old one anyway... the new one is much much much better.
Why not? It can play local and cloud music files. It's the only one I use on my phone and tablet.
Just curious what Google's plans are for Music Beta going forward. If it's now the default music app on Android, then it's less likely that Music Beta is going to end up being canceled like Wave or Buzz. So you guys can confirm that on existing devices, Music Beta is an app that's in addition to the default music app?

I think it's integrated into the music app itself. I'm just beginning to upload my music to it now and, I think it's something i should have done from the beginning. As much as I switch devices, it can be nice to have.
They live side-by-side on my Continuum, but that's with adding Music Beta as a Market App, instead of a stock app.
You can remove the old one with root explorer on gingerbread. It's not needed. no point in have 2 apps, with one that does the functions of both.
Google Music is a Gapp that sits right next to GMail.
If a company doesn't want it, they'll use the AOSP music source, or load up their own.
You can disable Google Music syncing in the settings, or just use a different music app (in which there are plenty.)

I recently switched from using VillianRom to MildWild 3.5.5.
I really like MildWild's ICS themed take on a stable Gingerbread core. The only problem Im having is some issues with the newer Android Music app that comes included in that rom.
I tend to do the majority of my music playing through my car stereo via bluetooth. If I use the standard HTC music app on the standard rom, or the stock android 2.3.6 music app on VillainRom then I get the song titles displayed in my car stereo. If I use ANY other music player, the display remains blank (although the music still plays OK).
I think this issue is related to the music app more than the rom, as I did once try the android 4 music app under Villainrom and noticed this didnt stream track titles across - hence I ended up going back to the default 2.3.6 player.
Im wondering now if I can somehow install the 2.3.6 gingerbread music app on the MildWild 3.5.5 rom. It might fix my issues.
Why don't you use a third-party musuc app like PowerAmp (best music app for Android imho).

Would also do if I had a credit card, but don't have one yet.

3rd party apps don't stream track titles via bluetooth either.

I tried power amp but it doesn't stream track and artist titles via Bluetooth, so its very difficult to operate the music app using my car's steering controls and display screen. I've not found an audio app other than stock android or stock HTC players that work in this respect.
Have you tried music mod app.. This uses the older standard music frame work with nice touch screen gestures

Any one tried to use his/her DZ09 smart watch with the 10?
If yes can you control the music of the phone? even if it's the HTC Music app (found in Leedroid rom for example) ?
T-Mobile HTC 10
Rooted
S-ON
Viper 3.5
(Waiting for Xposed to work for newer versions/I know relax Heh)
Here is what I am certain of:
It will allow me to control anything playing in MX Player and VLC with regard to stop/play/pause/skip track.
It will provide the same options with Pandora, as well as Spotify.
It will also allow me to do the same in HTC Music /Stock app.
It will not allow me to see files on the watch that are located on the phone (but it may be possible/I doubt it).
Hope this helps!
Half question, half observation, and half speculation. That's three halves, only two of which make 100% but two out of three ain't bad.
On the completely stock but rooted 8.0 and also on the latest 8.0-based Leedroid ROM on a U.S. Unlocked HTC 10 (with latest TWRP and latest compatible SuperSU), playing music through Rocket Player on Android Auto in my 2017 Chevy Impala requires me to first load Google Play Music, play just for a moment, and then I can pause (or leave alone, doesn't matter) and switch back to Rocket Player and hit play, and it'll play just fine (it'll automatically pause Google Play Music if I hadn't already).
It's consistent - every single time (just in case "consistent" wasn't clear enough LOL). I haven't tried any AOSP/CM-based ROM, older or newer. I'm looking to keep all regular phone and text functionality so that rules out beta versions of AOSiP 8.x. Once I stop the car and restart, I have to go through the same workaround again to use Rocket Player.
With both my wife's and my Google Pixels (hers the XL 128 GB and mine, unfortunately so far, the regular Pixel 32 GB), Rocket Player works immediately.
I have done searching and reading, both through Google searching and searching specifically in the XDA Q&A and Guide/Discussion sections. Although I've seen other problems I haven't specifically found this one mentioned.
Weird! If anyone has any ideas other than switching to Google Play Music, please let me know. FYI, I've also tried disabling Google Play Music, which of course only made it so that I can't use the workaround I found, and I do plan on looking into what other music players support both Android Auto and ReplayGain. If anyone has any suggestions for a music player that fit those two requirements besides Rocket Player, I'd appreciate those suggestions as well.
Thanks!
Supports both ReplayGain and Android Auto:
Rocket Player, but with the caveat on stock HTC 10 Oreo and latest Oreo Leedroid that each time I want to use Rocket Player, I have to temporarily start playing with Google Play Music first. This problem doesn't happen on the Google Pixel with Rocket Player.
I also just noticed that the description of both the free Rocket Player and paid Rocket Player unlocker don't even mention the Android Auto feature which it most definitely does support, so perhaps I should look at all music players that do mention ReplayGain but don't mention Android Auto.
GoneMAD, description only mentions ReplayGain but I happened to notice a review in the Play Store that mentions how good it's Android Auto capability works. I don't understand why these media player authors wouldn't tout their player's Android Auto compatibility if they have it. I'll try it and report back.
Update: GoneMAD seems to have no issue on the HTC 10, I can go straight to playing in GoneMAD without playing using Google Play Music first. Since testing for an hour or so, repeatedly, I disabled the Google Play Music and Rocket Player apps, and I'll test GoneMAD again over the next few days and/or a week before I decide to buy the unlocked version from this 14-day trial version.
Those that seem to support ReplayGain but not Android Auto (haven't tried Neutron so don't absolutely know that it doesn't support Android Auto):
PowerAmp (public beta 703 in Play Store)
Neutron
Those that seem to support Android Auto but not ReplayGain (I have not actually tested any but Google Play Music, but the description of the others don't mention ReplayGain):
Google Play Music
Pulsar
MD Player
Doesn't seem to support either ReplayGain or Android Auto (haven't tried any, but nothing in the description about those features):
doubleTwist
BlackPlayer (free or paid)
Equalizer
Shuttle
Shuttle+
Musixmatch
Try Poweramp beta.

Thanks, Mate. I own PowerAmp so that's a great suggestion. I'll update if it helps alleviate the issue.
Update: Unfortunately, PowerAmp Beta doesn't support Android Auto. Google Play Music and Rocket Player are still the only media players that show up as available to Android Auto. Maybe someday, eh?
Update 2: Or maybe the Beta version of PowerAmp that's in the Play Store (build 703) isn't the latest Beta that's available. You see, I was already signed up as a beta user for PowerAmp through the Play Store, but it sounds as if there's a closed beta version available, and that they're shooting for another beta version in April, although I can't tell if it's planned that it will be a more public beta or still closed beta. The beta forum for PowerAmp doesn't mention having Android Auto capability, so I'm not too optimistic it will be included anytime soon.
Update 3: Check the OP for how I've changed it - I'm going to test GoneMAD to see how it works. It appears that it's common for music apps to not mention in their (even sometimes lengthy) descriptions that they're compatible with Android Auto. Some definitely aren't compatible, like PowerAmp and Neutron, but if GoneMAD doesn't work sufficiently well, I'll revisit others that mention ReplayGain but don't mention Android Auto, in case they secretly do support Android Auto.
I'll probably turn this thread into a Discussion/Guide thread (moving to that section) once I solve my issue, assuming I do, so people can know what apps support Android Auto without trial and error.
