Error....

Hello All, I want to share instructions to make the Xperia S music player work for Arc/Arc S.

I did not do anything except trying it out and putting all the fix together to make it work good and with my instructions in this thread. :)

(I will try to mention all the people who made it possible, but if I forget someone please bare with me or I can add later here).

It is very nice player and has good functions such as SenseME(TM), Market extensions app (eg. video search etc), Music download info, MP3 id-tagger, albumart grabber, equallizer, new widget, nice UI, add to favorites function, very good sound of the speaker and sweep action to change song etc.

Instructions:

---------------

You need a rooted Arc/ Arc S with 2.3.4 Gingerbread and CWM-recovery.

(a) Download the pack from below.

(b) Extract it all and transfer the files to the SD-card.

(c) Start by installing following like a regular app: MusicWidget.apk, SemcMusic.apk and Soundenhancement.apk (overwrite any present).

(d) Now you need to reboot your phone into CWM-recovery mode.

(e) Install via CWM from the SD-card: Soundfx_Xperia_S.zip and start your phone again.

(f) Then copy these files: FBMusicLike.apk, SemcdataMetaCleanup.apk and AudioEffectService.apk into /system/

(g) Make permission rw-r--r-- on these files.

(h) Then move the three files into system/app/

(i) Uncheck and recheck "facebook inside xperia" at settings (to activate the like button).

My Arc phone is with .62 firmware and Doomlord kernel v19 and it works very well. :D

Very much thanks to: FlamEmo, Maodevil and The_black_dragon.

(Please don't kill me if your phone will explode. It is up to you to try it)! :rolleyes:

:)[/QUOTE]

Hi,

I'm using JJs_Hybrid_Rom_ARC_v2 (ISC 4.0.3) rom but when i try to install the files: MusicWidget.apk, SemcMusic.apk and Soundenhancement.apk (overwrite any present), a message saying " Application non installed " appears.

Can you pls help me on that matter?

Thanks,

@UP...

This is not compatible due to Framework changes... This is a music player from Android 2.3.7 and you're using Android 4.0.3 so it will never work...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Sergent_02:
Error....

but how and where do i get a compatible one?

I reallay wanna get this Xperia S Music player work on my Arc S.

Thanks, it works great in my Neo V - 2.3.4 - .42 - rooted - CWM for locked bootloader.

No need to use PowerAmp again :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] enjoyy2j:
Just wanna add on to it:

1) This is a must have, all credits to datagubben

2) The sound is around 40% amplified compared to the old player

3) Selecting shuffle mode does not change the current song you are listening rather applies shuffle to the other tracks in the playlist as opposed to the old player

FB Like option worked for me during my first install.

I flashed and rooted my phone again, tried installing the new player all over again but for some reason the FB like option does not pop up any more on selecting the album cover, tried everything possible but couldn't figure out why.. Anyways this doesn't bother me :)

Please search the forums before posting. There are several threads on how to root .62 firmware. Example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560777
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BinaryXeroMedia:
Yes it's working. I'm working on trying to get the sound enhancements working though. The player plays fine but you lose the lockscreen player function which I'm not to bothered about as I pull down status bar and click into the player. Will let you peeps know when I get the sound enhancements working.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] rec71:
For some reason my equalizer has 15 steps instead of 10 and the Clear Bass setting is always set to -15 and won't stick. I flashed the zip again using CWM and cleared data for SoundEnhancement.apk but no change.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Kajendran:
Works great...!!!!!

Everything works fine....

apart from Download cover and info...

SenseME isnt working cuz it needs 'Download cover and info' to work.

When I try to change album cover, it says network error, could not download....

I followed all the steps correctly...

Do you have any suggestions which could make these functions work....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] haga22:
U get this prob because u used Custom ROM. Try this on Stock ROM and It will work like a charm. Anyway, this prob is only the preview error, the quality of sound is the same. Dont worry

If u want to use SensMe, try to transfer your musics by Media GO, it will put them to SensMe library, too.

The error when downloading info may be because of your unlocked bootloader device. That cleared your DRM data :-?

GOOD LUCK!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Kajendran:
Yes I having a unlocked bootloader..

I dont get what you are saying by 'DRM data'... :confused:

Cant I get 'Download cover and info' to work???

If there is a way.....

Please share.....!!!!!!

Thanx......
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] TheHaso:
DRM data is some "keys" in your phone. If you unlock bootloader the IMEI way, you loose them forever.

Playlist not saving

@Blackwatch89

Can you create and save favourites ok?

I'm running official ICS and have put this mod on my arc s and DSP Manager (ICS version found on xda) but i can't seem to save playlists from within the app

The only way for me to create playlists is to use another music player (namely cloudskipper) and then they show up.

Any help or suggestions?

You could password protect every app except the web browser. There are multiple apps on the Market to achieve this. If you don't want to use a Google account on the device, just sideload the apk.

Reinstall your drivers. After installing the Heimdall driver, your driver that you need for Odin is borked.

oh and just help someone else who may be having these issues. yes you can unplug the phone as long as its not already flashing a rom. never unplug if already in the middle of flashing or you will brick the phone. to get out of download mode if you are not in the middle of a flash. if you find yourself like me and have put the phone in download mode and odin or whatever you are using will not recognize it or maybe you forgot to check usb debugging then unplug phone from computer remove battery for a few seconds and the phone should boot normally. tahnks guys for all the help i really appreciate it

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
Are you using the cable that came with the phone?

Have you tried a different cable?

Do you have Debugging Mode turned on?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
If you connect your phone to the PC and then go to the computer's Device Manager, is it recognizing the phone correctly? Or are you getting the yellow exclamation point over the icon?

I use Heimdall when doing Odin tasks. It is an Open Source equivalent to Odin available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I'm not too familiar with Windows problems because I have been on Linux for the past 7 years. I have only used Windows in those years for updates to a Captivate that only worked through Kies, and rooting an Acer tablet with a Windows only tool.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rekamyenom:
I get nothing when I connect the phone to the PC in download mode, but I get full communication when not in download mode. I have never tried Hemidall
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
I have seen some suggestions to try a different USB port, I expect you already have.

Other thoughts:

What version of Odin are you using?

Have you tried Kies?

Is your phone stock or modified?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rekamyenom:
I have tried numerous computers, numerous cables, numerous USB ports, I have tried every version of Odin known to mankind, I have tried with kies, without kies, and my phone is completely stock, not modified whatsoever, this one has me stumped. I have used odin on no less than 1000 phones never have I had a phone not react to Odin. the phone reacts 100% of the time to anything but Odin, I am wondering if Samsung has released a security update that is preventing communication with Odin
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
I'm at a loss, a quick search using the terms

odin, download,

and something else did not yield useful results. Raising your question over there may turnup someone who has experienced this, and hopefully resolved the issue.

I DON'T GET IT !!! WTF !!

Yes, I was able to Root the device with Towelroot after reverting from 4.4.2 Build NH3 to 4.4.2 Build NE3, Now I just have to get this thing home to "Fix" :rolleyes: the IMEI number. One must be rooted before being able to "Fix" the IMEI number. I wish Samsung would just cut the **** with these unnecessary updates..... :eek:

So i am unlocked (thanks to my brother thinking he had to unlock to root) but i want to remove root and cwm recovery to exchange it at a best buy since still under return/exchange 14 day period how would I do this as vipermod rooted my device fine but can't seem to unroot it I am still running standard .14 unlocked OS no custom rom
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
You cannot re lock it (if that is something that may disallow you to return it).

But they wont check. They wont be able to tell without trying to bootload something else

Being rooted isnt a huge deal.. (not as big of a deal as it being unlocked)

ViperMod does have an option to unroot

As for CWM.. ugh they wont notice that either

You should just uninstall the SuperUser app and call it a day

If they give you money, dont look back
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Neriac:
ya i figured they won't notice the unlock just wanted to remove the super user app and cwm since it boots into it when ya do a factory restore

I tried running the Vipermod unroot but it just sits there as if it can't figure out what to do mind you same pc with the drivers installed I used to root the tf201 so how do I get the unroot to work with vipermod (saw somewhere someone said ya gotta reroot and then unroot not sure if thats right)

As for CWM recovery if there is a ADB shell command to remove CWM been trying to find someway just to remove it flat out.

I have been running the Backside IHO CM7.2 build on my OV for a couple weeks now and I keep getting very frequent freezes followed by a reboot. It does this while OCed as well as running stock speed-it makes absolutely no difference. Also it seems to do it most often when the battery is below 50%ish. I have done a full wipe of system, cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing and the problem has persisted through all updates that have been released over the past couple weeks. Does anybody have any idea why this might be happening or ways that I can fix it? I really don't want to go back to a froyo rom if I can help it. Thanks

same problems, i just checked and found that my phone isnt rooted anymore dont know if that makes a diff but im not sure what to use to root it back if it matters..

Hello guys whats the best ics u have used so far on your sgs2 i9100??? :rolleyes:

Gingerbread rom kernel combo also appreciated!!;)
[Galaxy S II General] Gutana:
GB Roms I like RevoHD 6 + Siyah kernel.

For ICS, I've been using The latest Foxhound + Stock kernel, only cause CM9 doesn't have working video yet, if video isn't a priority i'd go with CM9 for sure.
[Galaxy S II General] poppy9009:
thebyani rom v3.2
[Galaxy S II General] Honchay:
All leaked ICS Roms based not worked to me for everyday use, I had bootloops, hans, freezes there and here... A little annoying. I would suggest CheckROM v6 based en XWLA4, its the best rom i've used!
[Galaxy S II General] Br1ce:
Without any hesitation, I'd say Thebyani v3.2

It works like a charm, no lag/FC at all and great battery life ! All the bugs I met with other roms are fixed in this one. Give it a try !
[Galaxy S II General] CobyBE:
I can't really say anything about ICS roms as the ones that I did test were still very buggy and not stable at all :p

But I have had my share of GB roms.

Started with Hydroxigen but couldn't get my keyboard to appear (I was a flashing n00b back then :p)

So I went to GingerMod v0.8, this rom was REALLY good for me. It was very fast, stable and in combination with Speedmod kernel a real battery-saver :D

Only thing I didn't like was that the Gingermod updates didn't work for me. I could download them and it would reboot into recovery and install them but I never noticed any difference.

Then I went to Checkrom RevoHD V6 together with Redpill and the Magic UV config (adapted to my own device obviously :D) and I am still using this to this day. The Kitchen app works like a charm and I even have my Azerty samsung keyboard :) I really hated the AOSP gingerbread keyboard! No .com button?! Special characters and smileys on different locations? Yurg!

So my current and favourite Rom/kernel combo is: Checkrom RevoHD v6 + Redpill kernel
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
If you want the best GB stock for battery life and not cluttered up with all kinds of useless mods, then go with VillainRom 3.0 and siyah kernel.

If FM radio and video recording aren't important then CM9 rocks. All these people who complain of reboots fc's etc. haven't flashed it correctly :p

Best bet is to nandroid and then try them all, feed that addiction baby...................

Plus it has some nice visual additions, such as blue icons in notification bar and a nice shutter-like effect when the screen turns off.

I can only recommend it:-)

I just made a really simple widget that just makes a "shadow" for you to use as an overlay. Right now its just 1 color and 1 opacity, no settings. This is the very first thing I have EVER made for android so that's why it's so simple. I will try and add customization soon, if someone can help me with it that would be great otherwise I'll just figure it out myself(might take a little while). Hopefully this helps someone out there to make the creation of a "Hubs" style layout a bit easier.
