Found that on general android apps. Works fine on my MT4G.
The Music App
I like this app. I hope this is the official music app. I also hoe the other core Google Apps are improved to this level.
Shuffle All doesn't seem to work at all

Hello,
My quetion is, how do I change a default app? I want to use power amp, but the built in music player always starts. I tried clearing the cache (even used titanium backup as I have root) but no luck. Im fairly new to android but love this phone over my old iphone
Thanks for any help!

Try going to Settings > Applications. Then click the "All" tab and find music and clear defaults for that program.
Tried it. Same result its actually grayed out now

Freeze or uninstall original music app?
Sent from WinBorg 4G using XDA Premium App
Are you using a custom launcher? It might be that you just have a shortcut pointing to the default Music player.
No custom launcher. Im worried if I uninstall that the phone will no longer update. I read on this forum that the update performs a check on apps installed in the system folder. Can anyone confirm this? I would love to uninstall lol.

The default music player always starts when you do what? Click the music player icon?
Since you have Titanium Backup, look for Music and freeze it. Then reboot your phone. The music icon will be gone in the app drawer and it will be impossible to start the default app. If you ever need it again, unfreeze it with Titanium Backup.
Don't uninstall any system apps with Titanium Backup. As you said, problems might arise when it comes time to update. Freezing is fine because you can unfreeze.
If you're talking about the music icon on the home screens, press and hold the icon, you should be able to change what app it opens.
As an example, if I manually click on an mp3 I want poweramp to open but the default does. If I double tap home, the default player opens etc.

Lol now it says unable to open filetype after I froze the music app....WTF

Weird, so you're talking about clicking in an mp3 from the Files app right? For me it was also defaulting to Music. After I went to Application Settings and cleared defaults for Music, when I clicked on an mp3 again it popped up a dialog asking whether I wanted to open Doubletwist or Music.
Don't you get that choice?

Negative. I know, very strange

Maybe it's a problem with Poweramp not properly broadcasting itself as a music player. I just realized I have Cubed on my system and it didn't offer that as an option either. Maybe test it out using another app? Doubletwist works for sure. Use the demo to test whether it's an app problem or something else?

I just looked up some directions online, and someone, who also used PowerAmp, said they simply cleared the default and force closed the stock music app, then in the file manager clicked on an mp3 and the phone asked them to select a music player to use... None of my apps have the default selected currently, but I also can't make PowerAmp open when I select an mp3. Weird...
Lol I just installed doubletwist and it now auto launches this instead of poweramp. I reinstalled poweramp, same result. Funny thing is when poweramp is the only player, the icons next to mp3s match poweramp yet it still says unable to open file type..... WTF is going on???

Any ideas?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I think it just sounds like a problem with PowerAmp then...I remember being able to see the Poweramp logo next to my mp3's in the file app, but the guy a few posts above said he had that and it still didn't work. But either way, when I want to listen to music I don't usually open the file app and go look for the mp3 files on my SD card anyway so...so maybe it doesn't matter. Unless maybe the auto headset settings get screwed up if Poweramp isn't default?
Yeah I had the icon but it just doesn't want to load poweramp. My problem is that I want poweramp to replace functions such as the music button in car mode instead of having to add another shortcut for example. Or doubletap home....

I have been trying out the AOSP roms and really liking them, but the one thing I really miss from Sense is the Friend Stream widget. I liked having my twitter and Facebook feeds all in one place. Is there any other app or widget that can do the same thing? I have searched in the market and tried a few, but none of them that I've found can show both together.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
tweetdeck does both.
Thanks! I'll give it a try - does it have a widget too?
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
if you don't mind replacing your launcher, try LauncherProPlus. It has a friends widget which can show Facebook, Twitter, or both. There is even a skin in the market that will emulate the look of the Sense widget.
Does Themer not work with CM standard Apollo Music Player? It doesn't come up on list of players. Does anyone know how to change the music controls on the included themes to point to Apollo? I've tried media utilities and also tried looking around some of the XML files in root explorer. Could I possibly add a line or 2 to include it my self?
Thanks

I've found on certain themes it is supported & others are not. Maybe you could use something like desktop visualiser & use a blank.PNG & assign that action to Apollo. Haven't tried it but thinking it should work.

I figured it out. You have to change hotspot link on play/pause by pressing to the right of the word hotspot. Then go to third page where it says shortcuts then select media utilities, then select play/pause in side media utilities and then go back. It will save widget then everything links up accordingly. It worked on canvas theme. Then I noticed it worked on a lot after that.

If you have a chromecast using xbmc then you know what a pain it is to switch players. I've developed an app that modifies the xml for you. Run the app and select the player of your choice then xbmc will stream to it. The app is functional in its current state with a predefined set of external players. Has option to select from installed apps (not yet programmed). It's ugly as sin, not polished yet.
It's very basic now but it works for me, I wanted to see if there's a demand for such an app. I'll post the alpha app soon if it's useful to anyone else.

I'd like to try your app out on my nexus 7

Only the preloaded list works currently (the populating list of apps hasn't been programmed yet). The predefined list I got from the internet so I can't guarantee all package names are correct. Let me know if you run into issues or how it's working please.

Also, I apologize for the appearance, it has no icon yet and uses a very simple layout with one button. I'm planning on creating graphics for it and a nice layout.
