Hi guys,

Recently Sony updated its "Walkman" app to "Music".

Most love the new additions to material design but changing the app from "Walkman" to "Music" was a disappointment. [Especially the Icons and notification ]

I believe that Walkman is "brand" that sets Xperia apart from other music players.

I have modified the app to give the same WALKMAN feel and looks while keeping the new functionality.

Requirements:

SuperuserMOD [Works for both KK and LP] NEEDED

Kitkat users can use Xposed installer and Serajr [KK] xopsed module to get Superuser MOD.

links for how to install xposed on LP rom-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60454533#post60454533

links for LP Serajr mod on LP-http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xposed-serajr-xperia-xposed-lp-v1-0-27-t3094251

Install steps:

-Download and install as normal apk.

I have tried this with Lollipop and it works fine.. kitkat users need to be de-odexed and can try the same..

Hope you liked this mod.

Apk and screenshot added below.

If you liked this mod pls hit thanks :)

Update:

The new Icon is desiged to look like the Classic Walkman icon in old Walkman phones, whilst maintaining same icon theme that Sony uses.

On request , also another Mod with the Stock Walkman icon is created. You can download as per you choice.

Please let me know if you guys dont like the New icon or any inputs are welcome.

Change LOG :

v1 :

-Based on Music 9.0.0.A.2.0beta.

-Updated Launcher Icon to Stock Walkman App

-Updated Notification Icon to Stock Walkman notification.

V2 :

- Changed app drawer text to "Walkman" from "Music"

- Changed in app Header text to "Walkman" from "Music"

V3 :

- Removed "vertical version text" from main screen.

v4:

- Updated to latest 9.0.1.A.1.0 version.

- Changed icon to classic Sony Ericsson Walkman icon with exact Sony material icon theme.

v5:

- Updated to latest 9.0.1.A.3.1 version

-Android Wear text and Icon changed to Walkman icons

- Created two Apks on Request [one with the new Walkman icon and One with the Sony Walkman Lollipop icon]

Update:

For those who are OK with the new "Music" name and just want the annoying vertical "RED" beta version on the home screen of the music player, a stock apk with that mod is created. However you will need the specified requirements.

Really nice work! i hope you continue to update this mod with future music app updates, thank you! :)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] axaitechie:
[MENTION=1582624]Zeyn Karim[/MENTION] .. Sure :) This app will see future changes as well .

my rom is odexed btw.

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] axaitechie:
Hmmmm.... I tried it but I did not face any such issues :) Il look into it and try to fix it:)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] gundam_warlock:

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] axaitechie:
[MENTION=5861624]Funkmasterchilla[/MENTION].. U need super user mod for this.. I tried it on my Xperia E1 dual running kitkat and Xperia Z2 with lollipop.. :) if its still not installing then..

Go to apps -> all-> select Walkman/Music -> uninstall updates -> clear cache/ data

It should work..
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] axaitechie:
[MENTION=6569442]gundam_warlock[/MENTION] cheers :D
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Funkmasterchilla:
I have super user mod that's for sure. I tried uninstalling updates and indeed I now have that pretty Walkman logo :D

Cheers !

Edit: I am using NXT material theme which modifies the walkman app logo. I think that's why I am having hard time installing!

Can i install it on CM 12.1 on samsung device ?!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] axaitechie:
[MENTION=6552354]A.Fouad[/MENTION].. I haved modded it for non oem devices yet..working on it though:)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] A.Fouad:
It's not install in my device or non sony device i don't know why ???
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] axaitechie:
[MENTION=6552354]A.Fouad[/MENTION]... This is an OEM app..which means it is designed to work om Sony devices only...Even the Stock sony firmware does not let install modded OEM softwares...for which we have to use SuperuserMod.

Now to make it work i have to reconfigure the app to remove device dependencies. I will be workin on that probably this weekend or next and try to bring future updates to non OEM and non-rooted phones as well.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] A.Fouad:
Thank you
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] lordriguez:

Just Want to Remove the beta logo upside corner

Hello,

I am using Xperia Z2 and i have tried your version but it didnt work. When i force copy inthe private app folder and remove the older one i totally lost music app. I have in all way byt it every time fails. So please please it humble request if could upload the new beta Music 9.0.1A.3.1beta version only without the beta red annoying title on the corner removed and work on my device or give a solution. My devise in locked and rooted. And also you should upload a original version without the beta logo i think everybody will like it afterall new releses on Z3+ and Z4. Its now default. Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] axaitechie:
Ur request acknowledged.. I am working on making things work for users who are non rooted as well.. Next version may not be the ones for non rooted but yes for those who are happy with new music app..I remove the beta signature..

It was mentioned by [MENTION=4992258]greogory[/MENTION] that he wished MOAR had an off-topic thread so that the main MOAR threads (Development, Q&A/FAQ, and Themeing) would not get hijacked as we all tend to go off-topic frequently.

So, I thought, why not create it in the General Forum. Please continue to follow forum rules, primarily no vulgarity (masked or otherwise) and NO personal attacks against a person.

I've come to think of the MOAR community like family, so let me start off with a little background on me. Real name Rick, I'm 61 years young (as far as I know I'm the oldest RC on XDA). I retired from the US Navy in 1992 after serving for 21.5 years. From 1989-1991 I was the SysOp of a pretty popular BBS in San Diego, CA. (If you don't know those terms, then I "am" old!!) I've got a tech background in computer repair as well as doing tech support for Iomega (remember the Zip drive?) and AOL.

This forum is open to anyone, but let me put a shout-out to some of the regulars: [MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION], [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION], [MENTION=5923966]willowmaker420[/MENTION], [MENTION=5046040]JoeyDuran[/MENTION], [MENTION=5694968]chefbaker11[/MENTION], [MENTION=4039520]elwood[/MENTION], [MENTION=1230861]bytes2bits[/MENTION], [MENTION=5177113]andee39[/MENTION].

*all together now* HI RICK!!! ?

Awww man! I wanted to start it lol

I had the perfect thread title:

[OFF-TOPIC][MOAR & MOAT Community Thread]

:p

I was just making sure with all the forum rules and was hitting up the moderators to find out where the correct place would be to put it because I noticed that there is an official place for off topic thread in the main xda general section.

But you beat me to it lol ?

Thank you!

This is awesome [MENTION=2674887]Ramer[/MENTION] and [MENTION=401740]Gregory[/MENTION], what a great idea. I hope it gets utilized lol.

My real name is Jason. I'm 34, turning 35 next month. I'm a Chef, as most of you know already, and I just moved to Naples, FL. I've never worked in the tech industry. But I've been around the block for a while, so I wouldn't call myself a noob either. If I wasn't absolutely in love with what I do, then that's prolly the direction I'd head. I love all tech! Currently I have a GS5 sprint and a new Gear S watch. I've been on MOAR since the S3, I base my phones on that ROM, lol.

Come say hi guys!!!!

I'm 21 going on 22 years old on may 10th (I'm probably the youngest here ?). I do boring warehouse work in the Houston TX area and wish I could find a better paying job.

I've always been into the techy stuff, my first Android phone was the Galaxy S3 and I was running Goodness from team nocturnal at the time. It was a great community and that's where my themeing journey started :D

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] GhostTac:
Okay, well, I guess I'll join in here. Lol.

My real name is Seth, in 28, and I work in law enforcement, hence the profile photo. It's also the reason you won't see tons of posts by me because I don't always have the time to post or comment.

Ive been on Android since the HTC came out but I started in the custom ROMs with the S3 on Goodness by Team Nocturnal. After that I got the S4 and became part of the sac23 family where I had the pleasure of testing ROMs and themes. I've tried out different ROMs from time to time to see what was out there but always navigated back to sac. When I got the S5 I was disappointed that sac wasn't gonna be producing any real ROMs of his own for the phone as he's gotten so busy with other devices. However I have always run a ROM that he was a part of in development. Which has brought me over to the MOAR family. It's nice to see a lot of familiar faces from the sac23 ROM family here.

I'm an avid firearms enthusiast and gamer as well, when I have the spare time. Lol.
