Hi,
Does anyone have the APK's for the stock 2.1 Music app? I would like to replace the HTC Music app.
Cheers

Way better looking than stock.
How do you install that on a Sense based ROM, remove the HTCMusic.apk and odex, then push the new files?

the stock music player is pure class, and is the main reason i will never use a htc rom again after using a froyo rom

Froyo is still unstable. What keeps me away from vanilla ROMs is the ugliness of the general UI. Sparta ROM is IMHO the best combination (Sense UI with stock apps). Even better would be Cyanogen with Sense slickness (i don't care about launcher or widgets) but doubt that would ever happen.
BTW, did you guys try bTunes? It's iPhone's iPod rip off but works great (plus, allows you to double press heaphones button to skip songs which is a must for me).

Like i said, the only thing keeping me with froyo is the music app If we can get the stock music app onto a htc rom then all the better
HTC music app = EPIC FAIL!
You should just be able to push the apk for the stock music player onto the device I think, but I'm pretty sure you'll have to remove the HTC player first.
Will give it a go with the Music Mod one first.
Just installed the music mod update.zip and it seems to work fine alongside the HTC music app. Does seem a little slow, but still quicker than the HTC app.
Will see what it's like with BT headsets on the way home from work later.
Yes guys,
confirm this works,
deleted the htcmusic.apk and replaced it with the music app from CM 5.06
signed it and et voilla
Should I be able to remove the HTC Music apk from recovery via adb?
just rename it .bak
and push the music.apk
also rename the htcmusicwidget.apk, inspect the rom to see what files you have to rename,
or you could just do what i did and delete the files from the rom and add the music.apk from cm 5.06 and resign the rom and flash it I also flashed the nexus unlock screen as well
I have a rom already made if you want to flash it, its based on Pays bravesoul 1.9
JD
Can't be bothered re-flashing , but I can't seem to get into /system/app/ from recovery?
I can cd into system, but can't cd into app?
I would just reflash
I have just built a ROM based on PaYs 1.9 Brave Soul, with the stock music player and stock lockscreen, i also tried to get ASOP messenger working but failed;(
Take a look over at the dev section

Managed to sort it out now, there's a guide on Monaco on how to do it.
Thanks for your help though

mate can this be installed through adb?
edit: device says; failed to copy - out of memory??
(using adb remount
adb push Music.apk /system/app/MusicGoogle.apk)

Haven't tried by adb, I just downloaded the update.zip and flashed that via recovery mode. Have you tried it that way?

I've been playing around with several ROMs this week, and I remember on one of them there was a cool app already installed that allowed me to stream media from my desktop PC onto my Epic video player. I cannot remember the name of it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Are you talking about Allshare? It comes with the stock OS too, but you can stream video files from other servers to your phone.
I think so actually. But I don't see it in the market. How do I get it back?
Or is there something in the market that will do the same thing?
What ROM are you running now? I know a few ROMs have the option of installing the default apps additionally, like SyndicateRom and Quantum Rom... check the posts of the ROMs and they may have the addon zip file to install it
Ok, I'll check to see if they have it there. I wonder if just the apk is available anywhere.

If its offered in the orig post of whatever rom you're running, but packaged in a bundle of stock apps, you could just open up the zip on ur computer (use 7zip), delete all of the ones u don't want, then close, save, copy to ur SD, then flash it in clockwork.

I was one of the many Evo users who's flash video was killed after the last Flash Player update. After much searching, couldn't find a single thing on why so many of us were having this problem so decided to do a little tinkering.
In my phone, I found a 2nd "libflashplayer.so" file under \system\lib\ which was also a different size from the one under \data\data\com.adobe.flashplayer\lib.
It also remained there after completely uninstalling the current version of Flash.
Installed the latest update and confirmed it as not working
Renamed the \system\lib\ file to "libflashplayer.bak" and flash instantly worked again! Putting the file back to normal instantly broke flash again too.
Also tried replacing it with the copy from \data\ (since it was the latest version) and flash still works just fine and didn't revert back to the older file after a reboot.
So - If any of you also have problems with the latest 10.2.157.51 version of Flash Player - check your \system\lib\ folder for this file and either rename or replace it and see if it solves this for you too
(Note - Always backup stuff first, and I am not liable if you fry your phone. ^_^)
It never ceases to amaze me up buggy and poorly controlled Flash is.
Thanks man.
Interesting i just updated flash NOW after trying twice before only to find video playback broken and it seems like they fixed it themselves now it is works, without doing anything on my end lol - Thank anyhow though!
Now you know why Steve Jobs doesn't want to see flash on Iphone or Ipad.
By the way - thx for the info.
To be fair, this is less adobe's fault, and more HTC's fault for putting the libraries in a read only filesystem. Even that would be alright if that path didn't superscede the ones in /data. I've been doing this on my own phone for a while now, and it does fix a lot of problems with flash. I wish more devs would take care not to put market apps that are subject to frequent updates in /system anyways. It doesn't really save any space in the long run.

How are you guys renaming this file? When I try it says "insufficient permission". Tried with Astro.

Download Etrong file explorer and give it root access.
Wouldn't upgrading to 10.3 fix the issue even easier?

10.3 wasn't working for me either (I'm on the SprintLover's ROM), but after doing this, it works!
Thanks, OP!
I used ROOT EXPLORER to do this... thats the only program I know that works. it allows you to make the folder R/W instead of R/O then you can rename..
Im glad I found this.. now I am updates to 10.3 .. is there any difference in anything in 10.3 ?
Thanks! This fixed it on my EVO (running Fresh's 3.5.1 Froyo ROM), I used EStrongs file manager to make the necessary changes (you have to enable root options and mount system under settings first). Spent like half an hour trying to find a solution, since the search terms for the problem can be so generic ("Flash", "broken", "black box", etc. just returns a million different results).
WHY do some sites still say you need adobe flash when I go to them?? they worked with the old version.. could it be I have my browser agent set for desktop and the flash installed on the evo is reporting android?
My flash was also broken after the 10.2 (and 10.3) update. I used the method from the OP and it worked. Has anyone noticed though that after doing this fix if you have your "enable plugins" setting on your browser set to "on demand" that all flash content will say: "you need to update flash player to watch this video"? When the "enable plugins" setting is set to "always on" everything works flawlessly. I guess I should be happy that i got flash back at all but it kind of sucks because I like having my browser set to on demand so flash doesn't slow down my browsing experience.
At any rate big thanks to the OP
THANK YOU!!
This finally solved my problem, but in addition to renaming the libflashplayer.so file, I had to also rename libflashsnddec.so. Until I renamed the second file, Flash v10.3 kept giving me that blue Lego block with the question mark.
Thanks again!
Edit: Whoa...don't rename or delete libflashsnddec.so! Doing so causes both DolphinHD and the stock Android browser to abend on some websites (even simple ones like Amazon, etc.). I tried various combinations, uinstalls, reinstalls, clearing cache, backing out to an older version of 10.2 that worked previously, etc., and all ended up pointing to renaming/deleting libflashsnddec.so.
One question though. Would changing the .so to .bak affect when trying to update from the market? It worked like a charm by the way. Thanks.

Using that fix causes the stock browser and Dolphin Browser HD to abruptly close without even a Force Close warning.
I replaced the lib in /system/lib with the one from the latest Flash Player update and also placed the lib in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib which was actually empty before I put the file there.
Edit: Nevermind. Got it. Removed the APK from /system/app and installed via Market. This placed the libs in the right folder and then I just copied them to /system/lib.
Edit 2: Alright, I'm trying to get this fix to work for my ROM so people don't have to do this manually.
So, I put the files in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib so they get copied over when the ROM is flashed by the updater-script. However if I do this while the install_flash_player APK is present in /system/app, it seems to erase the contents of that folder causing Flash Player to not work again. I need to find a way to make it so the libs stay in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib.
Any suggestions?

I moved the file to the proper folder using r/o and root explorer, and rebooted
both files are in place, but I still get the blue ? mark on certain sites
trying to get winamp installed in my rooted device - I don't live in the States so amazon store wont work and doesn't show up on android marketplace. any ideas?? tried, side loading from couple of downloads from the net but the installer wont finish.
Here is the .apk right from the Market, try that out.
Thanks for the apk - I can download and run the installer but it returns back with an message that the application was not installed.
I had the same problem with Winamp, but I managed to install it.
You can check the following thread for the solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434809
If you cant get winamp to run, try poweramp
its by far the best music player for android
winamp is really lacking on android imo
I have done a little bit of searching... the most recent threads that came up in my search were over 1 year old. Yeah, I'm late to the party as usual.
Is there a solution to the HD2 and Flash problem?
If I use the browser included in CM7, I get a prompt to update my flash player. Same goes for Dolphin Mini. But, when I attempt to get the flash player from the Play store, the app is incompatibe with the device, so I can't download it.
Thanks.
Adobe Flash Player, if I remember correctly, is suppose to be compatible with Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, and ICS. Now Froyo probably is only compatible with a little older version like Adobe Flash player 9 or 10 not sure exactly. But all you should have to do is download it from the Play Store. That is sort of odd it is giving you trouble. What is the exact software specs you have right now with the Android ROM or SD build you are using, oh andolease specify if it is NAND or SD card.
Edit: Also Adobe Flash Player is suppose to work with the defualt Android browser.
I am using CyanogenMod 7.2 HTC Leo 030812 on the SD card, Android version 2.3.7
When I try to use the browser that is part of CM7.2, I get a message to update Flash. Clicking the link takes me to the Play Store, and then I get a message that it is not compatible with my device.
The same thing happens if I try to use Dolphin Mini- I get a message to update the Flash Plugin, I end up at the Play Store with the same message- incompatible device.
I have been able to update Flash on my HTC Amaze without issue at the Play Store.
When I check "My Devices" from my PC at the Play Store, HTC HD2 shows up, but because it never ran Android natively, is this preventing a download?
Edit: Flash on the Amaze, version 11.1.111.8, is in the internal memory and I can't send it to the SD card... there goes that idea.
Try going to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications. Find the Play Store and click on it, then click on clear data. This should solve your problem.
I have tried searching for "adobe" and "adobe flash" at the Play Store, and I'll be damned if it comes up. I get >6k results, but only can scroll through a screen of them...
Now, it seems that the radio connection is spotty. The cellular and WiFi icons go from green to white, but I seem to have no signal. I have 2.15.50.14 listed in Baseband... The HD2 is about 2' from the wireless router.
When this thing works, it is nice.
Edit: I did follow the instructions above.
I just went to the Play Store from this PC, and Adobe Flash Player shows up first in a search. It is listed as already installed for the HTC Amaze and incompatible for the HD2. Maybe Flash does not show up in a search from the HD2 because it is coming up incompatible...
You can download from google play store

How?
Adobe Flash does not show up in a Play Store search using the HD2, the only Adobe product that shows up is Air. There are >1k search results that I can't seem to access from the phone.
Adobe Flash DOES show up in a Play Store search using my HTC Amaze. This app is in the phone memory, and if it is possible to get it out, I do not know how to do so.
Adobe Flash also shows up in a Play Store search from my home Windows PC, and it shows up as "already installed" and "not compatible with some of your devices". There is no download or send to link for the HTC HD2.
Attempting a Flash update using an Adobe link while using the HTC HD2 also gives a "not compatibe" message after I am redirected to the Play Store.
So, if it can be downloaded using the HD2 or saved to PC memory and put on an SD card and rooted into the phone somehow, please enlighten me.
I would suggest you Google Adobe Flash Player apk download andyou should've able to find some place to download the apk file and then install it.
Cool, that did the trick.
