MU and Lollipop don't go so well together as I heard from multiple sources and the problems between MU and Poweramp are older than that.

Thanks for your answer kwerdenker! So is there another solution? I see lot's of people with music widget so it means that none of them are working anymore?
When i use themer launcher, everything works fine so it's a bug related to MU for me

Not that I know of. I'm not on Lollipop yet myself, so I don't have any first-hand experience. MU probably needs to be adapted to the newer APIs on Lollipop but as the updates have crawled to a halt (for the standalone MU at least), I don't know if we can ever expect that update to come.

[SOLVED] Remove default music player

I don't like the default music player on the SGS for only one reason.
There is no skip, previous function when it is on the headset.
For this reason, I installed the default music player from the nexus one/stock android.
I did all this without needing to root(waiting for stable nandroid 'coz my ROM is not listed anywhere on samsung firmwares.)
The original SGS Music player is still installed.
The headset works perfectly with this now(Double click now goes to the next song)!!!!!
The only issue is that now when I press the headset button, the default Music Player starts playing as well(even if I force kill the service from the running services).
It's like I'm toggling from one music player to the other.
Any soln.?
If I root the device what apk do I have to delete?
::::UPDATE::::
I did a nandroid recovery(if any Indian SGS needs a nandroid backup of DDJF3 if you have to send the device for repairs just ask me)
I have removed the MusicPlayer.apk as well as the MusicPlayer.odex from system/app
and installed the default music player from nexus one.
Everything works fine.
FLAC still works and phone works normally as if nothing ever happened.
I am unable to upload attachments here or link attachments to my site.
If I could, I would upload the Nexus one music player and the SGS MusicPlayer.apk and the MusicPlayer.odex
My bluetooth headset has previous/next funtionality working fine...
I'm sorry I forgot to mention that I'm using the pre included Samsung wired headset.
thats my problem with the default player too
although i love the sound of the default player, and the eq, custom eq and the auto eq settings are the best ive seen in any player
also the 5.1 srs made my triplefi10 even better than before
i mailed samsung and the acknowledged the suggestion
one thing i noticed too, the underlying service on the default player is named coreplayer
i dont know of any android port of the coreplayer from winmo, but the winmo coreplayer is one of the best players around
Solved!!! Check out the first post
I have the same problem as you, can you share me the music player from the nexus one? My email is [email protected]. Thx.
Could you please share with us how did you do this (got the nexus one app, installed it)? I know these questions might be silly ones I am new to Android (switched from iPhone a week ago) and am really missing the skip functionality.
Would like to try out the N1 music player...please?
To get the app google droid-life.com nexus one music app (I cannot post links) Second link should take you to the website with the app and instructions how to install it.
I can confirm it works as described above
Dont post your email id's here.
Got to www. google. com /ncr
Type "nexus one music player for milestone"
Scrooll down and click on "AndroidHD - News: Milestone Android 2.1 - Nexus one style (UPDATED)"
Scroll down and click on "5. music app 2.1"
Download it.
Now keep it aside.
Next root your device like here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Next using root explorer or a terminal(command prompt on pc), perform the folln. steps
Navigate to system/app/
MOVE MusicPlayer.odex and MusicPlayer.apk to your sdcard under a folder named backup.
Next plug in the usb cable on your pc to your phone.
Pull down the notification tray and select mount drive.
Copy the Nexus one apk to your sdcard.
Pull down the notification bar again and turn off the drive.
Using myfiles open the root of your sdcard and install the apk by just clicking and installing it.
Did not understand?
PM me.
where I find the music player of nexus one? can you post here? please
edit: thanks I resolved
great! thanks so much!
now my mw600 works very well with the Nexus One MusicPlayer!
hmm, any idea whether this fix will work on other earphones such as the sennheiser ie8 that does'nt come with external hardware buttons like the default headset? meaning we double click the vol + or vol - hard buttons on the SGS itself to skip/rewind tracks... thanks....

NO. The volume up/down will only work to change volume.
You will have to either build yourself something that does that or find an app that does that.

Buddy i am from india. Can you give me the link for DDJF3. Have you tried reinstalling DDJF3 and check if it works?
Because on other forum many people have reported that this nandroid DDJF3 ROM doesnt recover the "Cell Radio" (Baseband)version of the phone. So Samsung guys can still know that you have flashed a different ROM.
But in your case you will be fine becoz you have not flashed any other beta ROM.
I've done a lot of experiments with my device and have always reverted to ddjf3 using the nandroid that I had initially made. My phone, pda, csc all stay the same, I.e . Ddjf3.
The nandroid is on my website. I'll give u a link in the evening.
I don't have the ddjf3 rom. Just the nandroid backup without root.
Sorry I can't help you there. I was doing some reading and http://androidforums.com/all-things...eband-backed-up-spr-cwmr-nand.html#post671189
Your baseband is not backed up.
You will not get your baseband back to ddjf3 unless you flash your device.
*Stupid n00b mistake by me*

I've done the music headset without buttons thinggy
Use the Music apk from here and the apk i am providing here.
Its not perfect but i'm working on it.
I need some help from some android programmers with receiving button clicks when the screen is off.
I do not fully understand services and broadcast receivers as yet.
How do i intercept button clicks when the screen is off?
Code examples or a tutorial will be of great help.
If any android programming guru can help me i'd appreciate it very much.

Media Utilities issues with Nexus 5

Ever since I got my Nexus 5, I have not been able to get Zooper Widgets and Media Utilities to work right. When I use a media player widget skin, the title, song and artist sections do not update! These worked for me before on my HTC One, so I'm thinking this could be an issue with 4.4 KitKat. Is there a fix for this?

Wait for the 4.4 compatible update of MU. The dev said he is working on it and it should be released in the coming weeks.

Yeah, having the same problem. Can't wait for the update.
I've given up on making any audio widgets until they update it.
Looking forward to it.

Has anyone heard anything about this update that will address Kit Kat compatibility isses?
no idea
I thought I was the only one :'( .
There's an update now in the Play store that adds support for 4.4. I just did a quick test and it works. It does require a lot more permissions than the previous version and Notification Access needs to be enabled for it to work properly.

Stock SMS Widget not available anymore

Can someone please check their Widget list and see if the stock messaging/ SMS widget is there. For some reason mine is missing, i use nova launcher and thought that maybe the issue, but its not there in stock launcher either.
Thanks.
I don't use it but I just tried to set a widget and it doesn't appear in my list of widgets.
What the heck. The widget used to be there for me on my S9. Can someone else confirm if they see it or not also. It makes Bo since why it would be removed. On my work phone galaxy S6. It is working as usual.

Same reason they removed image resizing from the photo editing app, replaced "keep screen off in a dark place such as pocket or bag" with "touch is disabled in a dark place", screen will now happily come on and stay on though... and other dumb changes that make no sense
At a guess for the messages widget, stats probably showed it wasn't used much but who knows with Samsung
anyone get a previous version working? i really miss a widget..

Use a different SMS app that contains a widget?
Android Messages has widgets and is a much better app in my opinion.
i really like to keep my phone minimalist with no extra apps unless i have too.. also it's nice having one that respects the theming engine of the phone.

Then there's no reason to even buy a high end phone especially with Samsung's less than stellar apps. Just my opinion, but like a**holes, everybody has one.

The widget is gone for me also. Happened when I updated the Google Android Messages app on Google play store yesterday. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the Google SMS app several times which was not stock on my phone, have cleared my phone's cache a from the safe mode screen, and also cannot find the SMS widget for stock messages app or Facebook Messenger.

After toying around on and off all day, I found an older version of the Google Android Messages app that works and has the widget. I do not promote installing apps from unverified sources outside if the Google Play Store as it can be a risk to your device. Here is the application that I found to be working:

Nokia 8.1 Equaliser

Hi everyone!
I'm having some issue with my 3M Worktunes Connect headphones which I'm using whole day long at work.
The soundquality is pretty poor on my Radio App which I'm listening while working (I'm a Belgian living in Finland so it's the only way).
When I listen to Spotify, I have access to the equaliser and I can fine-tune the sound pretty good but in my radio app I can't get access to it.
I've tried all the available options from the Google Play store but none of them work. At the installation it always says there is already an equaliser installed (Sound FX if I remember correctly).
Does anyone have a solution to this?
I'm not rooted and I'm actually not looking forward to do so.. I bought the Android One phone so I could just sit back and enjoy a clean, smooth running Android without having to stress ?
Thanks in advance!
Okay, maybe my question was not clear or the solution is so simple that nobody feels like sharing it with me ?
I'll survive with crappy sounds I guess...
Thanks anyway for taking the time to read through my problem description.
Greetings, Sam
You could try this app call Neutralizer. It works system-wide.
Just a side note, for the best sound you'll have to take a minute or two to setup it up properly to make full use of it.
Unfortunately I'm unable to add the play store link here.
Hope it works out for you.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I'll give it a try!

Sadly enough it's not working either, just like any other third party equaliser on my Nokia 8.1
Thanks for the effort!
I'm using Poweramp. Works great, but it's not system wide

Spotify freezes tapping 3 dots menu

When playing a song in Spotify and tapping on the 3 dots in the upper right corner, the screen dims a little bit and Spotify freezes. No probs like this with Mi Mix 2s and Redmi Note 4. Erased app data, uninstalled, re-installed - no changes.
Any ideas?
Same problem for me
Same here. Seems like this problem has been around for a while.

I have installed the Spotify desktop app on Windows 10 and I am doing all the management from there!
By the way, I have the Chinese rom (for now). Does it happen on the global rom also?

Just to let you know. I signed up for a Spotify Beta account, hoping the bug is fixed in the beta - but no...same problem
Hello,
Theres a workaround, tap the song/album you want, then go to the playlist and select "add song", then swipe right until you get the recently played pannel and add song/album to playlist....

Confirm I had the same problem with my unit, that is until I returned it due to the touchscreen issue mentioned in another thread.
Same issue, already posted on Spotify's forums and they didn't even acknowledged it.
Lots of people complaining yet the can't or refuse to do something about it...
Damn, just got the phone yesterday and I am having the same issue and was hoping someone may have found a solution. I wonder if it's to do with the new processor in this phone? I saw someone in a Spotify support forum (not an R8NPro user) saying they turned on OpenGL Rendering (although not sure how or where?) and that fixed it for them. Spotify presents one of my main use cases for the phone so this sucks. Anyone tried using an older version of the app?
On a related note (no pun intended!), I have always rooted my phones just so I could use Viper4Audio to eek out a better sound. I am using Bluetooth as my primary connection. Has anyone done any side by sides in terms of audio quality? If I don;t have to root then I won't as I think I read of some possible issues at present with this phone?
Thanks for any help!
Just got a new system update on my RN8Pro. Has anyone tried the current version of Spotify after this update to see if it works? I am using a very old version of the app which is working (albeit less featured) so am loathe to have to download all my playlists again to try it
Works for me now with MIUI 11. But I'm also using Spotify Beta and there was an update too. So I'm not sure why it's working again. Please try out folks
Works fine for me. Miui 11 and latest Spotify stable release.
Same problem for me
Miui 11 update fix many issues, like the Spotify bug !
