Hey this app is not working for me at all it just says no app found when I try to install it using ES explorer and even after I tried to sign the package by using the apk signer app from play store it didn't work. I'm on Lenovo Zuk Z2 plus running havoc os not rooted. Please help. I didn't understand the 'move to system and give permissions' part in the main post also.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] mik101:
If you don't have root access to the \system\ partition then you can't move it there anyway, so don't worry about it.

If the universal stable apk doesn't install to \data\ for you even after signing it, and you aren't rooted or running magisk, then it likely won't work for you at all.

Not working- Search Function

Thank you for sharing the information. I am currently using Pocofone F1(Android 10 with MIUI 11) & installed the app as prescribed in your post. One issue I have encountered, the SEARCH FUNCTION IS NOT WORKING. I request you to look into the same and suggest any changes/workaround to get the search results inside the Sony Music App.

Thank you!

---------- Post added at 05:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

Dear Sir,

Appreciate your efforts to make the app usable. I am not a developer, but a great fan of Sony Music app since several years. I am currently using Poco F1(Android 10, MIUI 11, non-rooted) but unable to use the latest modded app. It crashes, stop playback after 20 sec, no search result, no album art issues. This has forced to stop using the app. I request you make changes to app as prescribed in your post and make available to users like me(non-tech savy) so that we can enjoy using the app.

Thank you !

I read, but in my XZ1C with Pixel Expérience 10 plus custom rom (no root), Sony Music crash. "9.4.4.A.0.3" are the same issue than "9.4.5.A.0.8" (crash after 20 sec when i play music) so I wonder if there is a step that I am doing wrong... And my question is for your...

My step:

1) Install apk 9.4.4.A.0.3.apk (Arkmars20's file) with file app => crash only after 20 seconds when i play a music

2) Reboot my device

3) Install apk 9.4.5.A.0.8.apk (Arkmars20's file) with file app => same issue
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Maflo:
Thank for you reply. If I don't want to install Magisk, it's because I don't want to root my device and have lots of modules to install (one for sony app, one for safety check, etc.). I still hope for a no root solution. Maybe I would go to Magisk but not for now
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Maflo:
I think the problem is Android 10... I test on Pixel Experience 10 Plus and LineageOS 17.1; same issue... And many Magisk's module does not seem to support Android 10.

Again thank you for your response. I'll think about it:

1) Either wait for a version without root

2) Or no longer take the lead and go to Magisk

3) Or find a similar alternative application (Music and Album only)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] SM-03:
so basically no root no magisk= no sony music app for Android 10

this is it in one line, right?

You must add this at the privapp-permissions-sony.xml manually and then install music in system/privapp

steps To make apk work for all device:

0) download the file from apkmirror

1) decompile the apk:

in AndroidManifest.xml remove this line

2) build the apk....(fix if any build issues occur...mostly in AndroidManifest.xml )

3) sign it

remove the previous apk...and install it

I hope you are doing great.

My query is that when I installed the latest version of the "Music 9.4.5.A.0.8 app for any android". The sound equalizer is not shown in the settings. So can you check it and help us, please. In the previous version os the music app, the equalizer is there so we can adjust it according to our requirement. But in the latest version, it is not showing and we are listening to the music in default sound. Please check it and help us as soon as possible.

Thanks, Brother in advance

Hi! I'm new here and seeking for help...

First of all, I'm using a Huawei Mate 20 Lite, running on EMUI 10/Android 10. I was so happy to be able to install the app, after 3 years without a Sony phone I was really missing Music and its automatic add of tags.

Unfortunately, I have a non-rooted phone and the app crashes like it does for the others after exactly 20s from the start of a song. I guessed it wasn't surprising as seeing the other responses and hence wanted to try with older versions, still didn't work.

Eventually I wanted to try with twrp. There are 2 issues though : first I've never used this app and don't how it works at all, so if anyone could explain what steps I should follow it would be very kind. Second, I can't manage to access to the URL from Next79, it says that the drive doesn't exist anymore. Can I use an other file from OP instead or was it a special one?

Thanks for those who read me until the end, didn't expect this message to be that long sorry. Thanks a lot also for those who will reply and OP that gave me hope again ?

TL;DR : I can't run it on EMUI10 and don't know how to use the twrp solution
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] SM-03:
I will just give you one simple suggestion if you take

If this sony music app crashing/won't running or opening or having compatibility issue in your device running on Android10, just simply leave this as I did after using it for 9 years (yeah, I used to be an original Xperia Owner Earlier & bought 3 Xperia handset before Sony wrapped up the business & only start selling on Europian & Japanese Market). I simply leave this music app & start using Pi Music player as an alternative which has many other customized features as well, give it a try. Yeah, sure I miss the look & feel of this Xperia music player, but for me apart from the nostalgia value & love for the Xperia brand, nothing is different. rather functionality-wise other players have got many useful & customisable feature which these Xperia App lakes.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Matt67230:
Thanks for the reply!

I've downloaded it to give it a shot as it can't be worse than Huawei's music player, and think I'll keep it if only for the equalizer. The single thing missing -or that I haven't found yet- is the automatic add of the data for the songs. Music's Gracenote really is a drawcard for me and the main reason I'd like to have it back on my phone. It's a shame they disabled it on newer versions though...

Anyway, there's still improvement with one that you suggested so thank you!
