Hello guys, I was hoping you could help me out here. I have a Galaxy Player 4.2 and its music app is better than any other music app I tried. Most importantly, it has folder support which a lot of other music players don't have. I recently bought a new phone and want to use the music app from the galaxy player 4.2 with it. It's not on Google Play and I wasn't able to find an .apk of it. So I was wondering if there is a way to dump the music app from my Galaxy Player to an .apk and install it on my new phone. Or if someone happens to have an .apk ready to install I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
I guess that could work but I would use my computer to go into my system folders and look up the apk in the system files and copy it to my desktop. Then I would plug in my other phone and replace the music stock app on that with the galaxy players stock music. I'm not sure if that would work but you can give it a try. Also remember to take the music apk from your other phone and put it in a safe place you know so you don't lose your other phones stock music app.

correct 4.0 music player force closes on honeycomb. but for future reference, use root explorer or the like to uninstall music 3 apk and to place the new music apk in the /system/app folder. set permissions to r-r-rw. Again It does not work but this is how your would do it if it did.
Unless im missing something i cant see an option to play my music which is in my Dropbox app on my Galaxy S3 via Poweramp which is my main music player, anyone know if this is possible?
Cheers
anyone?
Dropbox stores your music in the cloud, and it isn't synced to your phone like it is to your desktop.
The desktop version syncs automatically, while in the phone version you have to manually save each file from your Dropbox onto your phone.
You'll have to manually, one file by one, download and save your music to your phone, then play it with Poweramp.
OR
Do like I did, and purchase the app "Dropsync" (Full version) and set it up to sync your Music folder on your Dropbox to a folder on your phone's SD card.
Mine syncs automatically and thus my phone is always up to date with the latest music that I have on my Dropbox.

If you wish to play the files directly from the cloud... no, it isn't possible (surely...)

Have you tried pushing it through ADB?
I glad you deleted it... it is a horrible player and has no use. Just download any video player and all will be well again.
If you purchase content through Google, you have to use Google Play Video anyway.
For everything else, my favorite is MX Player (+ it's codec).

Yeah...agree...mx player can play many more video formats...but if for in game video...mb you do have to place the apk of the video player in /system/app cause certain apps may still require it to run...

Hey guys, suddenly the apollo music player cant see the music anymore and cant even play anymore a mp3 file using apollo, its not in the list anymore.Any solution?I tried wipe cache/dalvik cache,still nothin,im using CM9 STABLE.Any solution?Dont tell me reinstall the rom cuz i don`t want, except that, any solution?:good:
Try a different music player. I recommend PowerAmp, although it has a 15 day trial after which you have to buy it.
Or if you want rudimentary music playing, there are lots on the Play store that can do the job.

Already got the full version anyway, my problem is apollo itself, it doesnt want to work again, damn with it.

it looks like the system media scanner is not working well, a process which Apollo depends on to find your music file.
PowerAmp works because it has it's own scanner.
You can force rescanning of your media files using some app in the market.
Search for media scanner in the market. Most of those apps are free and will sure get the job done.
Good luck

Hi All,
Having moved over to an S3 from a iPhone... and leaving Apple forever... I'd like to get access to all my iTunes music. Don't care about playlists and stuff... just want the music.
Questions...
1. Is there a way of getting all the music out of iTunes and into another desktop replacement for iTunes?
2. Obviously I ultimately want to get all my music onto my S3... so bearing that in mind, what the best way of integrating my phone with a desktop music player?
Ultimately I want to completely uninstall iTunes and remove Apple from my life totally!!!
Many Thanks for your advice

I should have said, I'm in the UK... and Google Music doesn't work here. So not an option.
There must a good way of transferring all my music from iTunes to a different desktop player which will integrate with an Android device?
Many Thanks

I'm in Spain and Google Music doesn't work from here either. But that didn't stopped me finding the apk on Google and installing it on my phone. Now Google Music works as charm lol.
Here, the apk: http://db.tt/WZvRMZ16

if you use a pc than you can use the windows media player to synchronize your phone with your local music library. since the galaxy s3 mounts as mtp device media player will recognize it when plugged in (while media player being open) and ask you if you want to sync your stuff onto it.
another method would be installing samsung kies onto your system. i think it can sync your media files to the phone as well.
if u want cable usb tranfer
winamp is ur best bet, its a bit buggy but it works.
if u want wireless tranfers. u now have 50gb+ on dropbox, buy dropsync from store.
it amazing. it only syncs what u need, do it over wifi, to save money.
Samsung Easy Phone Sync
I think this is what you're after
http://easyphonesync.com/
There is a desktop & phone app that does exactly what you need.
Recommended by Samsung when they released the S3 as a way of getting people off iphones when their main reason for not switching was "all my songs are in itunes"
I used it myself, worked perfect although depending on how much stuff yo have you may need an extra mem card:silly:
:good:

If your on windows then open the music folder and click folder properties and unhide all files. After you done that a folder called iTunes media will appear, Click it and all your songs are there.
If you're on mac then in the search preferences click unhide all files and click it, after that go to your music folder and find the iTunes media folder and drag all the music into your s3..
i use the app iSyncr from Google Play Store, it lets u sync your Playlists, albums, last played it also supports ratings and play counts.
there's also a wifi sync support.
Their is a thread possibly a sticky for moving from ITunes but it might be in SGS2 forum .
