Hello
I have a MTK6589T device. It came with a pre-installed application "MtkVideoLiveWllpaper,apk" which allowed me to set my own videos (of my aquarium) as my wallpaper. It worked really well and played very smoothly.
I have since deleted this "system" app, and have tried to download a "video wallpaper" from the play store, but the two I have tried play very badly, they stutter, they are clippy etc.
I have no idea why that is, maybe the application needs to use specific hardware present on my phone whereas the ones from the play store do it in software.
Does anyone know how it works? In the meantime I will try to re-instate the MtkVideoLiveWllpaper but it came in two parts , .apk and .odex and am not sure how to "install" it.
Thanks

Hi guys
I've been wondering about this for a while now coz my phone browser doesn't load flash items.
Has anybody out there able to use flash player yet?
I seem to have the same problem. At first it shows just a timeglass, then it shows a "non-parking" sign..
Newer flash content doesn't work (that made with flash more than a certain version number, I don't recall right now what that is). Hopefully future updates will include a newer flash player when it is available.
See my Orange Update thread, same problem for me.... I get that window and hourglass, but Fox/Dave says he can view youtube desktop version, which I've never been able to get. I think some can/some can't.
Ok, going into YouTube and selecting the desktop version, when I pick a video I get the hour glass, which is then replaced by a normal YouTube video "window" with a large play icon. When I click on this, I'm taken to the "HTC Flash Player" (i.e. the video does not play in the window) and the video starts.
The one I've just tried can be found at this link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAgir4WlQ4U

Nice vid! and totally believable
No, I don't get that on the HTC, it won't take me to the player. But there are loads of sites with Flash that it won't let me play either. Do you ever go to vids through the youtube app and still not get it to play? There's is a fair bit that won't play for me.
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.
Hi all,
I just picked up the T-Mobile variant and have not yet rooted or anything, however I am using the fix hifi dac app which a chap kindly posted on here and the play store.
I used to use the free version of podkicker however I have now purchased pocket casts. The issue I am having on my new V10 is that I will listen to a podcast for say 30minutes,then I come back to the same file later in the day to resume and both podkicker and pocket casts show the position as being 30mins in however when I hit play it aways goes back the beginning, has anyone else had this problem and know if it is unique to this phone or if there is some android issue I've not had previously?
I have searched on google and here but I have not been able to find the same issue anywhere.
Any help you can give would be appreciated!
Ps. Forgot to mention I've cleared cache and reinstalled the apps also, tried with different podcast files too!
Thanks
I have done more testing and it appears only happen with m4a files with mp3 unaffected.
Sooo, I got Assistant on my G5 and it's making me very angry. I can no longer use OK Google to play music from my Play Music library. It always just searches and plays the command as a song from the radio portion of the app. Even if I specify "Play the album ___", it looks up the album name as a song. I can even say "Play songname from library" and it ignores the "from library" portion.
Anyone else run into this? It has completely ruined my commute and hands-free driving.
Not sure if this is a bug or a very dumb decision.
How did you got the assisstant already?

It is already available in select countries (and languages) for Marshmallow and Nougat.

It's a bug. We and many other got the same problem so wait for Google to release fix via Play services or Google app.
Sorry for the thread ressurection but I have been having this issue since I bought an original pixel XL two weeks ago. My wife's pixel was also fine but last night she noticed that it would completely ignore what was in the library and attempt to stream it instead. My Nexus 6p (Oreo) did not exhibit this problem either.
This is so frustrating. Like the OP, ruins the handsfree experience. I have spoke with tech support several times but suggest I send feedback (which I have). I'm hoping others are having this issue too.
searching this site for this exact problem. no matter what device now when you say ok google play Metallica - and justice for all or any album which is in my library it automatically will play the song on youtube or the radio stations in play music (you can choose which to open in the settings)
what is going on how can we change this??
Hello, i have a red VIVO Nex S. I have already remapped my button for Google assistant and got Nova launcher and deleted some chinese apps that were a bit useless. I also deleted video just because i couldn't decide which video app to use even if "mxPlayer" was set by default (no issues with it so far).
But i would like to use the music app, i am not a genius,but it seems that there is some western music and Japanese music. But every time i go to artist or songs,radio, playlist or even try to start a Chinese song, it doesn't work.
Anyone that can know why or have the same problem?
I have music downloaded to my storage. When I downloaded Amazon music player and tried opening songs, I got a message "Amazon needs storage permission."
I fixed it by allowing the music player storage permission: Settings\More Settings\Permission Management\Apps tab. Look for the music app and check for Storage permission.
Here is the iMusic app from the global model. Don't know if it helps, but you can try it.

Just install it like a apk. Whats version is yours? iMusic is here 4.2.0 and 1.0. If your is newer, than i am afraid you cannot install it.
6.0.06 and 1.0
None of them get installed
I also trier to delete the apps, but the small one got deleted and i can't install the one you sent me(so i don't have it anymore at all) amd the big one doesn't even get delete....
Do tou know a good music app that is kot called Spotify? Something like iMusic that is both internal player and online music app?
iMusic Arrangement
I recently just uploaded a music album into iMusic -Global version- and noticed that it arranges the tracks alphabetically NOT by track list number which is strange. I've tried everything I could possibly think of, but no result. If anyone came across this issue and was able to resolve it, please let me know
Thanks,
I also have notice that for some reason I have Google maps tracks... For example "in 200 meters.." Inside iMusic
