Can anyone get SiriusXm, TuneIn radio to work when using MIUI beta.
I found some old posts via google from droidforums.net where user tp4bama suggested replacing the hosts file in system/etc but the link to this host file is down.
I have tried replacing the hosts file with a rom that siriusxm works with(eclipse/stock 2.3.4) to no avail.
I have also tried uninstalling/reinstalling.
Thanks,

As of 4-30-12 Siriusxm has updated their android app to version 2.0.
Lucky for us siriusxm internet radio subscribers and miui rom runners we now have a semi-working app.
What I have found so far:
The Good:
To start they have revamped the app quite a bit, to include pause rewind and fast forward. Something android users should have had long ago, none-the-less a great feature.
You can also see information about the artist that's playing, as well as schedule to tune in to your fav show during the week.
Sound quality seems better to me.
Faster streaming / load times
Much better than previous version (1.6.2)
The Bad:
I found trying to use the bottom navigation bar that has Categories, Channels, Favorites, Shows, Settings was buggy with Miui. Categories, and Channels when clicked cause FC's I could not get around.
In order to tune into a channel I wanted to listen to I had to:
Use the "Show" nav button
Sort shows by channel
Find the Station I wanted to listen to
Thumb through the shows untill you find one that says "Now Playing" rather than "Upcoming"
Click it and then you are listening to your station.
I would recommend long pressing the Channel's Icon at the top of screen to save as a Favorite.
Since the Favorite nav icon at the bottom works, you should be able to quickly access any channel you add using this method.
I hope this helps someone, I am happy to have siriusxm and Miui working together!

This is my YouTube search/player application. Bit like the latest CorePlayer.
It allows you to search for videos in a nice friendly Pocket PC 2003 and greater app and then stream the full FLV video (not miniscule MPEG4 versions) within its own player.
This app can also download the FLV videos for offline use and also then extract the soundtrack to an MP3 file.
The app is written in a mixture of .net and C so you need the .net runtime, v2 or v3.5:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en
The video player overlay is hacked out of TCPMP and the FLV part is based on FFMPEG.
....CHANGELOG....
youtubeplay v1.0.0.11 updated 24/11/08, changes:

Backlight keepalive
....
Things planned: Support for YouTube logons, video uploads, user favorites and better caching/buffering.
Things not planned: Other video sites.
Known issues: Square mode not quite right. Other character sets (Chinese etc.) don't work apparently. Close button sometimes takes a few pushes.
Everybody should note that this application will eat bandwidth, no consideration has been made for data consumed, so Wifi/ActiveSync or unlimited 3g only, be prepared for a big data bill otherwise. Won't work well on GPRS anyway as FLV vids are quite sizeable.
Download Latest Version (v1.0.0.11) from here
Comments / suggestions welcome.
Great! I'll give it a go.
CG
Works Really good, great work. Its really smooth and easy to use.Good job.
WOW! GReat App!
May I make a request? Anyway you can make the "skin" a black color by any chance? My entire phone is customized to be in a dark tone and the white just looks very out of whack. Thank you very much for such a great app! Keep it up!
Great!!! I can't play with Coreplayer on my prophet, but this rocks! Wheel done, man. Thanks
uau
What can i say .....
Finaly i can see the real thing
Your the best.
It just shuts down as soon as it buffers the video for me. It searches just fine and all, but right after buffering it closes itself. Tried a soft reset, but no change.
On a side note, would this be able to function as a stand alone FLV player? So that we could download FLV clips off the web, save them on the storage card and watch them later? I've tried the TCPMP w/ flash plugin solution but it never works for me.
Very nice.
Can I make a few suggestions - Can the buttons be made larger and more finger-friendly, can the soft keys either be used for something or left out, and I dont think the d-pad does anything when the video is playing.
Also can the buttons be made rounder instead of square.
Surur
Great work. I would definitely like to see a Save Video function too though...
//Nik
Can someone upload this to the forum please?
Very Nice
Already a regular program! would also love to see a download feature!
sounds interesting...gonna try out soon
Will this work if we are connecting to the internet via Proxy? I use tmobile..
Works well but one thing i've noticed is that when I search it doesn't give me that many options. Like i type in "Ric Flair" and it only gives me 4 videos to choose from. Obviously there are alot more than that, unless im doing something wrong.
Please upload to the forum... only 600Kb
bugs?
awesome program! a few things though, i'm running this on a sprint mogul, no2chem 2.0 ROM, when i play the video in landscape mode the video starts towards the bottom of the screen and blocks the 'stop/full/cancel' buttons, i have to close the video by just poking in the general direction of where i THINK the stop button is...
also another suggestion, perhaps an option for more search results, right now i'm pulling only 4 or so and i would like to be able to get every video that's available.
besides that, this is an awesome program, thank you!!!

Still early version, literally just it going today!
Landscape mode and VGA are next on the list for testing and fixing.
Currently it is set to return only 5 results, just to make it quick! Will include some config options in the next few versions to change this.
Download function - noted, might also be able to include FLV to other format conversion.
Skins and finger friendly buttons etc. again noted but low on the priority list.

May work, why not give it a try. You may find the search works but playing doesn't.

Hello all,
As maybe some know, Adobe's Flash player in Android has a feature. The object doesn't activate if it is not in focus (or maybe touched?). This seems to be a security or battery performance related improvement as Adobe puts it.. However, it is really annoying.. Because;
You can't listen to most of the radio stations, or playlists even, if you send them to background. I love to listen to some of my favorite music while reading the daily news.. As many other have pointed out in the following threads:
Thread ID: 854896, 672639, 543354, 489142
I am writing this question here, as this is an Android Flash player implementation issue and this behaviour is by design. There may be many ways to modify the Flash player, or modify the browser to make the Flash Player act as if it is in the foreground even if it is not..
So can anyone work on this? Or maybe we can submit some kind of CR to CyanogenMod issue list? Better yet, how can we submit this problem to Adobe's developers/designers?
Or maybe a hacker has already read this and has solved it already
Thanks a lot..
Maybe this works on other (Sense?) phones, but I know this worked on my 3.29 stock rooted Evo. In the browser you can hit menu > windows and then open a new window, and then close the new window. Now you will still be in the windows view, but are "hovering" above the window you have your Flash content in. Now you should be able to hit the home button and do other things.
I would suggest just using a real music player/radio app.....

x2... I think most, (if not all) standalone music/radio apps will run happily along in the background.

True, but most (if not all) standalone music/radio apps won't play arbitrary flash content online.
I know somebody who likes to listen to a particular TV program, and typically networks only make these available via flash. I'm sure if he works at it he can extract the audio on a computer or find it on a torrent or something, but it would be nice if this were at least an option.
Of course, compared to a normal app I imagine it would suck down a lot more power.
I've found a way to have a Flash webpage running on the background without needing to hack Flash Player on ICS. I stumbled across an unadvertised "feature" of the Dual Screen Browser app by Curry Cat v2.1.
All you have to do is launch the Dual Screen browser, do a google search for the flash web page you want, and once the audio starts playing just hit the OS Home button and the audio keeps playing in the background. It blew my mind.
The device I got this working on is a stock ASUS Transformer TF101 w/ ICS (v4.0.3)
Dual Screen Browser has a bunch of FC and seems to be heavily reliant on the stock browser some how. If you get FC when trying to launch it try the following:
Open stock Browser, press OS Home button, then relaunch Dual Screen Browser
Turn internet connection off, then relaunch Dual Screen Browser
Dual Screen Browser appears to be better optimized for flash/html5 video playback in portrait mode. I had two flash videos playing at the same time on each screen without much of a performance hit.
When in landscape mode pick the left most screen. It plays movies better without cutting off part of it.

Wow, I even forgot that I asked this question. But your solution seems very promising. Well, I'd still like to see HTML5 work in the background to (for the obvious reason that I want to play a youtube playlist while screen off ) Well if I'd have to install a separate app, I think there are other players that does this already.
Thanks anyways.. (Sorry for the late response)
I am using "nextvid" to play youtube videos on the backgroud, no need for hacking it does it by default( free app)

Hello everyone.
I would like to ask you for a favor.I really like these two radio stations (DI.FM & SKY.FM) or these two websites with different internet radio channels.The first one streams all styles of electronic music and the second one all kinds of music...such as 80's,alternative rock,classical music etc....well,this is where I need your help....they have two applications for android:
-DI.FM
di.fm/apps/android/download
-SKY.FM
sky.fm/apps/android/download
Could you please download one or both,install it and try to see if you can make it work?.On my Dell Streak with 2.2 it gets stuck and seems like it is gonna start working or it only works once,after that it does not work any-longer.I have been exchanging emails with the developers and so far they say that it is working on some 2.2 android devices.
I know it could be too much to ask since everyone of us is always busy,but this would be a good idea if you like these styles of music.....there are lots of channels in either app.
So if you install it,or you want to report the bugs to the dev's I will really appreciate it and we can all take advantage of this music.
Thanks very much and have a great day.
I use the di.fm app everyday on my streak!! Way more than slacker and sirius xm combined!
The trick is to go into the settings and change the stream format /bandwidth settings from aac to mp3
Btw, search google for idma (international dance music awards) and go vote #18 for di.fm as best electronic radio show!!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I d/l and am trying sky.fm. After changing Basic Bandwidth to the mp3 settings (cellular and wifi), it's working!
Hi guys.
Thanks so much for your support and time.I switched those settings as you described and the dev recommended,it is a little better but I can't listen to all of the radio stations yet.
It is very sluggish and laggy on my Streak,even after resetting the whole thing a couple of times.
Once again thank you for your time.
u should try connected music player from the motorola defy port.. ull never use any other app afterwards
Hi,
Last night I finally got the upgrade for ICS (sim-unlocked)
This morning I played some music and found UberMusic was ok except the artist pics on the Now Playing screen were wrong. I re-installed the app, and this fixed that problem, but now none of the home screen widgets work properly. The buttons will highlight when touched, but don't actually operate.
(Full screen operation does work properly though)
I've tried another re-install but it's not helped. I've tried using different launchers, including the developer's own LauncherPro, but they all have the same problem.
Has anyone else found the same problem, and found a fix?
I understand the developer (Federico Carnales) doesn't support his apps once they've been released, which is a pretty *****y way to go, but I have to say I haven't found anything better in look-and-feel (InstaMusic has horrid scrolling, PowerAmp not as clean and elegant)
Any suggestions of good alternative players, preferably with a similar Metro style and nice selection of different sized widgets would be welcome!
(Edit: As my post has been moved to the Q & A thread, I should add I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2, connected to O2 but unbranded)
Edit2: Well, blow me down with a spoon, it's only working again! I don't know whether it's the action of trying different music players, or switching temporarily back to TouchWiz, but the widgets work again. Yippee
Whilst you're reading this I might as well pass on my related experience: I've had a couple of irritating problems - a lot of my cover art has disappeared, and some of my albums have been split into two parts. Well, the cover art problem is fixable with Cover Art Downloader, and using MP3TagEdit on my pc in extremis... and the splitting of the albums? That occurred because some of the tracks had an 'album artist' set whilst others didn't. So blanking all those fixed it.
I hope the ubermusic developer will update it for ICS. The Bluetooth headphone play and pause buttons doesn't work. The rewind, forward, volume buttons works. Presently I need to play and pause directly using the app, and not the BT headphone button, it is a bit annoying. But I can live with it
The ubermusic developer (the same guy who created Launcher Pro) has been quiet for quite a long time now. Doubt he is actually going to update any of his apps.

Hi,
I have been a silent reader/observer of xda forums for a long time now and I thank everyone of the awesome developers out there for giving such good ROMs.
I've been meaning to ask this question for a long time but I was delaying it hoping I can get an answer for it myself. But today after spending close to 5 hrs on this with no answer I decided to ask it here.
I'm a music fan and I'd like to listen to it on my phone as well. I have an HTC One XL with the latest Viper ROM.
I have tried the following options.
1. Downloaded numerous apps (PVStar, NextVid and the likes). Some worked but not to my satisfaction. They're either very laggy or buggy or have unattractive UI to use.
2. Visited sites like youtify.com and tried on various browsers. (Chrome, firefox, UC, Dolphin, Opera etc.) hoping it won't stop playing audio when switched to another app or screen locked. On chrome and all the others it just stops playing audio when you switch to another app. On firefox it works but when screen is locked, audio becomes choppy (app's priority gets lower I think slowly). I tried to search for apps which can keep an app's priority higher but in no vain.
3. I also tried to find alternatives to Youtube like grooveshark app but it just keeps crashing whenever other apps are launched. I also tried Radio apps like TuneIn radio or pandora but you can't search for specific songs there.
P.S: Also some YouTube videos are specifically blocked by Google itself to not stream it to other apps/sites I think. How can we avoid this?
So, basically my problem is I need to be able to search and stream Youtube videos (Preferably have my own saved playlists) on my android phone while the screen is locked or in background while accessing other apps. (I know google is trying to bring 'play in background' feature to YouTube app itself but we can't create playlists there if I'm not wrong). Please suggest me a solution.
Thanks.

Thanks for a lot for the links. Tried both but the first one (Viral) is not so stable. It crashes often and a pain to use. However the second option (Modded youtube APK) seems to be the best option. I can have my own playlists saved in my youtube account and play them using this modded youtube app. The music will continue to play even when screen is locked but the app must be in the foreground. The moment you switch to another app or press home button or even pressing "back" within youtube, it stops.
It's a solution I can live with for now, but I would love to have something which can run even when in background. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
[BUMP] Any youtube modded APK?
Trying to bump up this as I wasn't able to find a modded youtube APK which can continue to run in background (i.e. even after pressing home button and accessing other apps). Right now the modded APK only allows screen to be locked but the app should remain in foreground.
And the youtube APK also doesn't play all files in playlist. It plays just one file that we select and stops after that even though there are other items in the playlist.
