Good luck!
you cannot use music info on unlocked bootloader by default
another app?
Is any other way or player supporting gracenote? can i use a third party app to get album arts from gracenote?

Hello...
I need some clarification before i go ahead and root this phone by unlocking the bootloader.
So if i unlock the bootloader on SE's developer site, they state i loose my DRM management.. So that means what exactly?
TrackID wont work?
Some FaceBook "like" on musik?
In general, if i have musik on my phone that is DRM protected, i basicly can forget about that?
What happens if i unlock the bootloader to get root.. Make the mods to the phone i want, basicly changing the colors and everything "Sony" on the phone to something else.. Then i relock the bootloader.. Does my DRM get restored?
Hope some can clarify these things for me.. Thanks...
All DRM stuff got deleted and is gone forever. If you relock, DRM will stay gone. No way to restore it sorry!
TrackID etc won't work after that sorry!
Regards
Sucks!...
Witch sucks since TrackID is actually a really good feature on the SE and combined with the app from my carrier that give me free musik.. when DRM is working since that is protected by that.. Its not really an option for me to go bust that function..
So.. Ill start looking into some things and hopefully get some other means of rooting the phone.. or even downgrade it..
Thanks for the reply Bin4ry

i can live without it. I'm def. not buying anything containing DRM and if you miss trackid -> use soundhound.
Works better then trackid in my opinion
Yep,you have too choose wisely
And i bet we gonna see apps very soon with drmlike protection.
That will force unlocked phones to freeware & warez
Hmm what about SE home? Will it be gone too?

Doubtful. Developers need rooted devices if they're to use ADB seriously. Actually the trend goes the other way around: phone subsidies are very expensive and carriers are looking for ways to reduce them.

Give me the name of the apk and Ill post it.
there you go
Out of interests sake why do you want it? The inbuilt player is rather pathetic.
Thank you so much. Downloaded and tried to install, didn't work. I just downloaded another video player from the market and it works better anyways. Also I uninstalled motocast notifications and now I get no SMS notifications lol so guys probably wanna stay away from that one. Using handcent instead now, which that works better as well.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated

i think this one can't be installed.. you have to copy it to \system\apk and setperm to rw/r/r. anyway, i use MX Video Player and it works awesome.

You can't use it without the needed Blur framework and libraries. Porting OEM apps isn't so easy.
i believed he wasn't trying to port anything as he said he just deleted the video apk

Info comes from TackID. TrackID uses DRM keys. Those keys were lost forever when you cracked open your bootloader. Tough luck mate.
TrackID should still work..... Mine does and I know others with unlocked Bootloaders still have a working one as well.
Have you tried wiping the apps data?
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Really? From dooms guide I thought that it shouldnt. But you're not the only one to say it, a guy on a local forum reported the same.
What doesnt work then?
I can't really comment on that because trackID is the only Sony app I actually use, I think music unlimited and the PSstore and such may need the DRM to work (well would assume anyways to prevent piracy) but trackID has no issues. If it did I wouldn't have unlocked bootloader, its one of my favorite apps

I can't use gracenote either after unlocking bootloader... but why do they need to delete your drm keys anyway... It does not harm music producers as I know
TrackID works for for me too after unlocking bootloader

I have the same problem with the walkman app too.
I'm running on ICS stock rom, rooted with stock ICS kernel.
Any solutions will be much appreciated.
Are there any news/solutions for this issue?
DRM keys are lost FOREVER. There wont ever be any solution mate.

Should work, unless you unlocked your bootloader.

Go to "My Music" tab, touch menu button, select "Download Music Info". Wait so it is done and then check your musics and then SenseMe is ready. At least this is what I have done to have it working.
Thanks felimenta but doesn't work? I have an error (unknown) when trying to Download the data. .. But that because i've unlocked the bootloader

As the other one said, you lose some features when you unlock the bootloader, such as TrackID, SenseMe and GraceNote

Peeps.
Just installed my first ROM and its missing the stock music and media player.
How do I get them back? I have checked Google play but no such luck. I did delete all the unwanted Google apps like Google+ and Google music store and movie store. Are the APs linked to these the stock files.
Cheers in advanced .
Is there any download I s

Google play?? You think you will find them there? What Rom is it? Sammy Firmware or custom?
it is the Imagine ROM that i saw on GalaxyS2root.com
Cracking UI and super fast.
Shame about the apps.
wasnt able to find the stock apps but chose 2 others to take there place.

Couldn't find the Sony walkman app in Google Play. Maybe specific to Sony devices only.
