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.

Freeze or uninstall original music 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?

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....

Music works fine over here...for the most part. The only issues in terms of music after flashing ROMs was that my songs doubled and if I played the doubled version I'd get an error message. I also noticed my music library contains notification sounds and audio from my videos I've taken, a little odd but im still able to listen to music with out any real issues. What are your issues?

I had the same problems, so I would just go back and flash cm9
I founded out when you flash a new ROM and music seems to not play or find. You want to get a file explorer and go on your storage and look for a file that says "No music" and delete it. I did that and now my music play's perfectly
Hope that helped!
Hi guys, I recently bought a Vibrant with the solely purpose of using it as a music player, and I was hearing about voodoo sound and saw it in Google Play, and I was guessing... I saw on the description that voodoo sound is only compatible with gingerbread and CM7, my question is: this is true? That info is up to date? What is the best setup (kernel + Rom + whatever) for music playing purposes? Thank you in advance.
Voodoo sound and purchase the donate version to support Supercurio and Power amp is the best! Good Luck
Its compatible all the way up to JB

Flash moped ryders's beats audio zip file. The difference is incredible, these phones sound like ass without beats audio. You will instantly be able to tell the difference, it's a game changer.

Try this ac!d audio mod!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31464098
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
The phenomenal KingBeatZ audio mod from aznrice2k4 works with Nexus 10! Compatible with Stock, AOSP, and AOKP ROMS.
100% Compiled with Linaro for superior performance!
Versions 3.0.9 recommended, but 3.0.3, 3.0.4, 3.0.6, and 3.0.8 are confirmed working as well.
This is a heavily modified BEATS Audio mod that can also boost volume above stock level, has extra preset equalizer settings, and increases sound clarity. No placebo/emulated effects unlike other mods. Info (follow the instructions for the Nexus 7) can be found HERE
All credit belongs to aznrice2k4 but any issues that you may have (albeit highly unlikely) after following the instructions correctly should be posted here. I have successfully used this on many devices and also in my ROMs for the OG RAZR.
Unique or Acoustic Equalizer settings have been found to have the best sound. Loudness setting will boost volume, use with care to prevent damage to headphones, ears, etc. Other than that, use what sounds good to you!
Enjoy!

I always use ROM Toolbox to edit build.prop, if its having an issue saving changes I would try a different editor. ROM toolbox free version has that function as far as I know.
I am not seeing lpa.decode=true" in my build.prop is that a problem? I am using mrRobinsons aokp pub if that makes a difference

I see in the "other thread" it was talked about that it doesn't work with some media players... can anyone verify that it works with PowerAmp (paid version if that matters)...I looked and didn't see if it did or not...

Uhh... If you have this installed on your device it works on all sound on your device... It has nothing to do with individual apps...
Work great on my N10:good:
Does it work with MX player and stuff like that? Or it only works with the music player?
As I said 2 posts up, it works with all sound coming from your nexus... Not just individual apps

I had a suspicion that it wasn't working with YouTube, but it sounded great on Spotify. It is a shame its not systemwide.

R: Issue with MP3 tags on Bluetooth
Maybe your car doesnt support the reading of tags...maybe the cyanogenmod is not stable enlugh yet or it uses a different(more rudimental) kind of way to connect to headphone bluetooth devices (such as your car, which acts like a receiving speaker) and stock rom did not...could be anything...
did it ever work? On what rom? With any particular app? Do you use any sort of special bluetooth connection method?

R: Issue with MP3 tags on Bluetooth
Without rom...you mean without cyanogen? Or with another phone? Perhaps its got to do with the permissilns: u need to associate the car 'better' (make it secure) with the phone, or perhaps u need a different bluetooth connection method. I suggest checking the store for some apps that help you with bluetooth pairing stuff...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
With stock ROM, there is no problem with pairing etc and it sounds great! I'm only missing the file info (tag).... The car audio just say "no name" There must be something disabled in CyanogenMod ?

It's CM and/or AOSP... Don't worry its not Samsung or your car.
If your on power amp go to settings and enable send id3 tags over a2dp or similar.. It may work for you..

I seem to be facing the same issue. On my sammy stock ROM everything worked fine. I fail to understand why the tags aren't working. Can someone give me some insight as to how those tags are passed? I'm currently using CM10.1 on a SGS3 i9300.
It's something with the Bluetooth version on android 4.2.2! Have I found on this forum

I have had this problem with all roms I have used(stock and omega). Toyota touch&go will not show song names etc. Not from Spotify or mp3 played from phone. Iphone works well. Touch&go shows artist, songname and album while streaming music from Spotify via bluetooth.
Is there a rom where's no problem with bluetooth? Looks like it needs Avcrp v1.3 support...
