No universal version of apk is working on my galaxy a70.

Earlier, it was working but don't remember which version.

Since i took latest version, it is keep stopping.

I tried new and old versions and specific versions

Nothing is working.

My a70 is not rooted

Please suggest

Hi,

I tried to install 9.4.5.A.0.8 universal version on my Samsung galaxy a70 but it is failing very frequently.

could anyone using working version on a70, please share

Why is this happening I'm on k20 pro and this is the only legit music player I need in my life
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] SM-03:
lemme guess, android 10 ?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] superman 8892:
Yes yes and yes I paid for retro music pro
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] SM-03:
the latest music app universal installers ain't compatible with android 10 & crashes/stopped at 20seconds of playing. So, you ain't alone here, in this case, that's the reason I've give up on this music app after using for 8yrs, try Pi music player, I am using that as an alternative.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] superman 8892:
Actually man not as much as 8 years... Say 2014 I remember all the icons from where to where the ui always been a fan of walkman... And now disappointment hits harder

Universal Music music_9.4.7.A.0.0

Universal Music 9.4.7.A.0.0

based on https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-...kman-music/walkman-music-9-4-7-a-0-0-release/

Note: file attached is already modified and works in all phone

File: View attachment music_9.4.7.A.0.0-orig.apk

Issues don't check me, no expert in mod...know only basics

steps To make apk work for all device:

0) download the file from apkmirror

1) decompile the apk:

in AndroidManifest.xml remove this line

<uses-library android:name="com.sony.device" android:required="true"/>

2) in AndroidManifest.xml : change: "android:compileSdkVersion="29" android:compileSdkVersionCodename="10" ---> to "android:compileSdkVersion="28" android:compileSdkVersionCodename="9""

3) Reason for issue in Andriod 10 due to init the field private/public static variables...so need to clear those

This command replace the default variables:

Go to the dir of the decompressed apk, run this commands in termial

grep -nrli '.field private static' * | xargs -i@ sed -i 's/:Z = false/:Z/g' @

grep -nrli '.field public static' * | xargs -i@ sed -i 's/:Z = false/:Z/g' @

grep -nrli '.field private static' * | xargs -i@ sed -i 's/:Z = true/:Z/g' @

grep -nrli '.field public static' * | xargs -i@ sed -i 's/:Z = true/:Z/g' @

4) build the image via apktool

5) sign it

Mostly no need to remove the previous apk...and install it

With this same method, can port the sony xperia album, music and home

Note: .find this by comparing what is the changes made to work in this post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82142633&postcount=734

hey, can you at least explain that what is happening lately on these sony apps? why these apps ain't being compatible with android 10 and having the various issue in android 10? all are still fine in android 9 pie so whom to blame?

Its a bug from Sony/Google i guess, cos all apps works on A9 below.

Nice post mate. When you say "Note: file attached is already modified and works in all phone" Does this indicate you dont need run through these steps if your using that attachment you posted?

Or in order for this to work you need to get an Original APK and run through the steps?

Reproduce solo 20 segundos y se cierra

Problema en Android 10

No funciona bien. Explico lo que sucede:

Abro la apk, doy "play" a una canción. A los 20 segundos se crashea, se cierra la apk.

Esto ocurre si la música la tengo en el almacenamiento externo.

Si la música está en el almacenamiento interno no hay problema. Pero no me gusta eso.

Mi dispositivo es un Moto G7 Play de 32 Gb interna.

Todo estaba perfecto hasta que me llegó la actualización a Android 10, y todo fue un desastre...

Otro detalle que quiero decir: tengo que abrir las canciones desde un administrador de archivos (ES File Explorer) canción por canción, una por una para poder escucharla completa sin que Sony Music se crashee.

Se puede arreglar eso para los que somos fanáticos de las apps de Sony???? Por favor!!! Sony Music es la mejor aplicación de música que he tenido y no la quiero perder.

Hola. Antes que nada te sugiero qué tus post los pongas en inglés (de otra manera serás ignorado, o incluso baneado, ya qué en las reglas del grupo se especifica claramente, o en su defecto, traducir tu mensaje por medio de un traductor en línea, y debajo de éste, colocar tú mensaje original, así cómo se específica en las reglas, de ésta forma aumenta de forma importante la posibilidad de qué alguien te ayude.

Ahora, si tu equipo tiene root, puedes realizar el procedimiento "systemize" instalando el módulo "app systemizer" por medio de magisk, y la app "terminal emulator", descargable de Google play; ésto ya fue explicado varias veces en post previos, yo lo realicé el día de ayer en mi redmi note 5 con lineageos 17 ya qué tenía prácticamente todos los problemas qué tu mencionas, y me funcionó perfectamente.

Si no tienes root, entonces no sé si exista una solución (intenté varios días otras soluciones planteadas en el foro y no me funcionó ninguna). :(

Después de usar las apss de Sony en mi primer y único xperia (z1 de 2013 a 2016), quedé encantado con walkman (ahora música) y álbum, y siempre instalo música en mis nuevos equipos, en álbum nunca me funcionó la característica de marcar fotos cómo "favoritos", qué me era muy útil, y por eso la reemplacé. Espero soluciones tu problema.:good:

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] SM-03:
Nope, still the same old issue persisted, tried this, in Mi A3, Motorola One Power & Inifinix Note 5, all running on Android 10 Stock ROM, this music player still closed/crashed automatically after playing for 19-20 seconds, it's been almost a year since Android 10 been released & in the market & IDK why none care to fix this & whether the fault is in ANdroid 10 OS or this app's API or any universal modding-related issue?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] trax7:
Until [MENTION=2005653]BenLi[/MENTION]ng releases an update or someone else makes a port, you are left with what there is. No one cares to fix this because it's free work and the dev isn't obliged to do it if he doesn't want to. You can only benefit or else you have nothing. It's not Android's issue, it's not an API issue (although one can argue that both do matter). This is a port and will never run as well as on a Sony phone, if at all on your device. Short answer - there is no fault anywhere. :)

I used to use this too and it's pretty good but moved on to Retro Music Player because of DPI sizing issues with higher DPI and the lack of customization. Otherwise, it was the best music player on the market before that. :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] BladeRunnerA2C:

Sony music app 9.4.5.A.0.8

N.B.: Since I installed music app universal version 9.4.3.A.0.3; I'm just updating the app each time Ben Ling releases a new update.. So, may be the crash problem can be solved if you just installed the previous version of the app then after that update it to the latest one.

Edit 2:

Installed latest universal version on Redmi Note 7 Global (miui 11.0.1 / Android 10) and it works just fine

Ok I finally managed to reproduce the app exception on Redmi Note 7, and noticed that it fires on the latest versions after updating "recently played list".. So, I tried to install older versions one by one and each time I faced the same error.. But finally it worked fine with one of these older versions, so I can consider the following as a temporary SOLUTION:

1- install the universal version 9.4.1.A.1.1 from this post

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=77715392

2- Open the music app and give it access to storage permission.

3- Test the app by playing any audio file longer than 1 min.

4- Download the latest universal version from OP then update the app.

Enjoy :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] darvinya:

This version crash on Artis, Songs select, i'm not other songs select.

Then update version crash, don't playing song.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] OsGhaly:
This is weird, It works just fine on my side... Please uninstall the music app completely then install version 9.4.1.A.1.1 and complete the rest of steps on my previous post.

There is simply no alternative to the Sony Music app.
