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.

Is there a working version for the vibrant? This music player doesn't have a widget, I loved having a music widget on the cliq and g1. And I hate mixzing dont recommend that plz.
Tunewiki has a widget. Not sure if double twist has a widget. But there are a ton of players out there just have to check them out.
I put the stock 2.1 music.apk on it. Widget works, etc. There's a modded htc music apk that I installed that's popular on G1's, but the difference in resolution made it look extra ****ty.
Can you link to the stock 2.1 music
player?

I WAS using Lithium Player. but it kept crashing on pulling album art.
so.... i tried ³ (cubed), mixzing, & andAMP.
cubed did it for me. the main reason was the ease of getting album art.
the widgets are decent. there's 4 to pick from. the developer has come a long way since the initial release of thise app, so i expect a lot more is to come.

Push as "Music.apk" if you don't want to overwrite the Samsung one.
Can't I just download and install it as a reg apk? Do I have to push it?
the system can't parse the file correctly as it is part of the framework i believe. it needs to be pushed. try clicking on it through the files app and see what happens. see? now make like a dealer and push
Yea pushed it last night. Works flawlessly. Now i can listen to music even when i have low battery

If you have the .apk, use a root file app, I use root browser, move the apk to
/system/app then fix permission as follows
x x -
x - -
x - -
or
rw-r--r--
or 644
Its all the same
Reboot and enjoy

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?
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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
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
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
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
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
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?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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....

Hey guys, you know how on 4.1 Stocks music player, you could place shortcuts to apps themselves inside the media player? I used to place my Youtube, NFL Mobile, and any other media apps right inside the 4.1 media players app list. That way I could hide the apps from the drawer and save space. Anybody know of a good music app that has that feature? I've tried Power Player, don't like it. I'm giving Winamp a go as we speak, but if I could even get that old media player back, I'd be good. Also, does KitKAt just not have a stock player itself, or is it solely reliant on Google Play Music? I didn't know if it was just never incorporated into new roms and I was missing something, or if after 4.1, they just relied on Google Music. Thanks!
You know you can make folders in the launcher now right?

when i drag and hold it takes them to the main desktop, where i can then make a folder. I dont want folders, I want to hide apps.
you can also make folders inside of your app tray in sense 5. open your tray, pull down slightly to view the options at the top. change to custom, then i believe you just hit the 3dot menu button and organize your apps
Not working for me. I'm on crDroid. Wonder if it's possible to make the 4.1 media player work on 4.4? Gonna find out..

All,
I recently downloaded Themer and love a lot about it. It's quick, and very nice looking.I realize it's still in beta and I can appreciate how stable it is for being a beta program.
My questions concern more the area of customization rather then functionality.
1: Is there any way of adding my own Smart categories? I'd love to be able to reorganize some apps into a slightly different hierarchy/grouping.
2: Is there anyway to get the launcher to recognize the Music player on the Galaxy S4? it refuses to use it on any of the home screens/themes I've tried even though I've got it set in the app preferences.
I'm coming from using a bunch of other launchers that are good, but not quite what I've been looking for.
Thanks in advance.
1. The function is probably going to get added

on the S4 m8 just select widgets from themer menu then select the music player widget
Alldroid, these themes already have a music player widget as part of them. Replacing it with the stock music player widget would ruin the theme. For now I have it pointing to Play music player, but I would like to have the Samsung music player be the default app for playing music.

Hi,
1. We are planning on doing this in the future.
2. The manufacturer music players are incredibly hard to incorporate, but it will also be added in the future.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

You can log in using your Google account. You needed a Google account to log into the Google Play Store and download Themer, therefore you can use that same account
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.

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.
