what is the differences between your update and his update? other than the widget colour (hero htc music widget)

thanks
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
In landscape mode his widget works correctly other then that it's just the theme colors.
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
Love this music player, but since I put it on, I seem to be getting more force closes than normal. I am running maximus's apps2sd and JF1.51 with the HTC IME. I will keep updating as you update your files and see how it works.

Quick question about the new update files(the 5.9Mb ones). When I flash it as "update.zip" it changes nothing but the files needed for the music player. So I won't have to re-download all my apps from the market and such. Obviously I will nandroid backup first regardless, and I'm 99% sure that this is a dumb question and I am right with my assumption. I just wanna be 100% sure.

Edit: Answered my own question. Sorry for the hassle. My assumption was correct. Heads up to anyone though, when you hit the scrolling Android part of the initial turn-on, it takes a few minutes to get through that the first time. You aren't at a loop, just let it do its thing.

Everything sans htcime in portrait working now on cm 3.5 with HTC hero theme via beagz hero.zip update. Another thanks for the work. Hope the clock/alarm/stopwatch/timer app from hero gets done someday. Always liked that.
[G1 Android Development] sactomkiii:
other hero apps?

out of curiosity would it be possible to port the hero browser using this method
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Correct. I did this because it just doesn't seem proper for such a great update to have a widget not look good. I changed only the look.
[G1 Android Development] isolated_epidemic:
Yay!

Thanks for the hard work on this! I love it and it works great on the Dude's latest rom!

But my question is, which files need to be updated with this new fix? Have all of them been changed? I just want to know so I'm not spending too long adb pushing all of the files to my phone.
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
framework.jar

HtcMusic.apk
[G1 Android Development] isolated_epidemic:
Thanks for the super speedy response! Updating now.

[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
remove Music.apk for bluetooth controls to work with HtcMusic.apk

Thought I'd share that the bluetooth controls would initiate the original music app, unless you remove it.

I tried to pause the music playing on the HTC music app by pressing the play/pause button on my bluetooth headphones, and another song started playing simultaneously in the original music app. So, I tried removing the original, and tested out the bluetooth controls to start playing the HTC music app and it worked. The fix was easy enough.

Enter these commands in terminal app to remove Music.apk:

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm -r /system/app/Music.apk
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
@Stericson:

Do you need any more log files?
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
Not at the moment, thanks guys....
[G1 Android Development] B-man007:
For the HTC IME force close errors, I put HTC_IME.apk on my SD card, used ASTRO and selected it, hit uninstall, let it do its thing, and reinstalled....

Somehow that fixed it for me (just replacing the .apk and list9 file didn't work)

It was a simple fix and not a thorough one but its a good temp fix till you update the files

(also maybe since you having multiple releases as bug fixes, you should start numbering your files as V1.0, V1.1. That way it makes it easier to know if we are up to date instead of reading through the whole thing cause no one likes to do that :P )

And a great job on the port once again! Thanks a lot

EDIT: Nvm force closes started again. maybe your missing something in the htc framework?
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
it didnt work out the landscape mode for me =..=
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
which one did you dl?
[G1 Android Development] charnsingh_online:
i needed this really bad. I love music
[G1 Android Development] charnsingh_online:
Please port the dialer too. I really like the HTC Dialer
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
the link on the first post, that is....
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Download one of the links I posted. Those are the fixed ones.
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
hey there, were u talking about this latest update u posted?

thanks alot bro
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
or was it this post:

Update for HtcMusic files ONLY.

all files included.

Widget that looks proper. (borrowed from Manup456)

http://www.4shared.com/file/114418172/38b34e4b/htc.html
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Yes that's the ones
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
at the end, im getting the silver coloured htc music widget.....is it correct?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
Edit: doubled post
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Actually that is rev. 1 that has the shuffle bug.

No one seemed to want that one so I did not update it.

The other 3

Ophone (semi-transparent)

Sun (Charcoal / orange)

Hero (black / green)

are the ones that are updated.
[G1 Android Development] sdrewh:
sorry if this has already been asked...

Is there a way to get the message.apk and twitter.apk htc version work on these builds too? If so how?
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
Stericson said on his twitter as of now there is no way. the widgets themselves are added with the sense ui and it's alot harder to pull them out.
[G1 Android Development] sdrewh:
Thanks for the reply. I think I will start following to stay in the loop on this thanks
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
What about the chirp (or whatever it's called now) - the twittter app. I don't really want the widget. Why would that app be anymore more senseUI dependent than the Music app? Stericson? :)
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yeah porting those widgets are much harder them it seems like just pulling the widget.apk and installing it and it will work

:/ tsk tsk
[G1 Android Development] LazyGenius:
any chance of him porting the contacts or the "clock" app?(not the clock widget the actual app with stop watch, alarm, etc.)
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
It's not that its sense UI dependent...You have to understand, Htc could have made this easier then they did but they are smart cookies....They made their platform tie into each other so heavily that one would have to rewrite alot of code to get things working independently. The music app isnt even working 100%, one reason for this is that their own music app was incomplete and had bugs, I was hoping to use the new music app release in the newest hero release but htc has started using odex files and removing the classes.dex files from the apps....Which, for now, makes it impossible to use them sense they are specific to the framework.jar that Htc has in their build....

So....It;s, in no way, easy to port these apps over....especially when I work 40+ hours a week and have a family to take care of...

I try my best to share my work and provide updates for you guys to fix problems but I have only so much time....I cant make this work for every build, there are too many and I dont have enough time....I cant fix every bug....I am either not knowledgeable enough, dont have enough time, or just dont feel like its worth my time....

I started off not knowing anything about this stuff....and I've put in a lot of time to learn what I know now and to bring you guys what I have....Alot of google searches, alot of xda searches....

In the end, I do all of this for myself...to better my knowledge of computer languages and to better my knowledge of Android...I dont do this for anyone else, besides myself. However, I do not mind sharing my work and trying to refine it for appreciators of my work after my release....

My ending statement is this....Those that are asking for so much and not given anything back....Why not start learning and trying to fix some of these issues yourself?

I have seen others in this thread post scripts and updates to help out others, they are giving back to the community, offering different ideas, opinions, and twists on new things released. This is neccesary for the growth and development of Android. Start contributing, start helping us bring more to this community......Sorry for the rant, this isnt pinpointed at anyone...just getting things off my chest :)

Also, I will port as much as I can from hero.....

[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
Also I need someone to email me the htc IME apk

quick question about using Cyanogen 3.4.6. Since It includes the htc framework already do we need to push those files or can we stick with the ones that came with in the ROM?
[G1 Android Development] nickf123654:
HTC Music

I am currently using Cyanogen 3.4.6 and wanted to try the HTC Music app. I was about to push all the files to their directories like is says in the instructions but decided to try using the update.zip because it is easier and I'm lazy. I am happy to say that it was successful and the HTC Music app is working correctly. One disadvantage to using the update.zip in my case is that I now have 2 different music icons in my program list and one points to the old music app and the newer looking icon points to the HTC app. I don't mind having two music apps and the new HTC one is 100x better than the original.
[G1 Android Development] fdisk81:
Thanks for doing that, I was wondering if this would work!
[G1 Android Development] My_Name_Is_Neo:
well removing the original music APK works just fine but if guys are a lil OCD like me and want to really clean off the system then you need to remove two more things

system@app@Music.apk@classes.dex file in dalvik-cache & com.android.music folder in data. Commands to do so are below -

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

Adb remount

Adb shell rm -f /system/app/Music.apk

Adb shell rm -f /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@Music.apk@classes.dex

Adb shell rm -rf /data/data/com.android.music

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

trivia about rm for noobs.

-r -- removes directories

-f -- overrides any confirmation prompts

this will remove the residual files of Music app from your system.

an for future reference if you remove any app look into these two other places to remove the residual. enjoy
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:

[G1 Android Development] slcikx:
Just did the update.zip on Cyanogen's 3.6 and it work fine.

No known bugs yet will continue test to find and bugs, will report back iif i find anything

Stericson This is HOT keep on the porting..!!!
[G1 Android Development] Breen:
I still have a crash-error.

I'm running the newest version of Dude's. I wiped, installed the update.zip (downloaded from first post) and wiped again just to be safe.

When I try to open it, a grey screen pops up and then the crash error.

Is there a way to fix this?

If not, how do I completely remove the player?
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
You'll need to flash dudes build again....Some people reported success with dudes build. Others, apparently, did not have the same luck...

Stericson
[G1 Android Development] Breen:
So wipe, and then flash dudes?

I wouldn't mind using JF, are there any minor differences?
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
I dont remember the differences but I dont think its much...JF is just regular rom...I recommend using cyanogens as several people have gotten the music app to work on his build and his build is extremely optimized....

Also, as a side note guys...check out my twitter for a new release...I will let followers have it for the time being...

Stericson
[G1 Android Development] JakobFriedrich:
is it possible to do this with the people.apk
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
I am working on that and Dialer as we speak...this will probably be a long term project though....

[G1 Android Development] Breen:
Okay awesome! Will flash cyanogens now.

Will report back if it worked.

Fixed widgets here :)

Note: renamed to Music.apk so default player is replaced
[G1 Android Development] zombiefly:
hello.

firstly thanks to everyone here for their hard work :)

now, i'm running the dude's TheDudesCupcake.v1.3.RC2-signed which is working fine.

so i've taken the htchero file from above, renamed it to update.zip, placed it onto the sd card, then loaded it with Alt+S from the bootloader screen. Everything appears to work with no errors reported. After reboot the phone starts after a brief delay. The music app is in the shortcuts, I click it and after a brief black screen, an error appears "The application Music (process.com.htc.music) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" appears.

I've tried wiping before, after, reflashing the Dude 1.3, then installing the music player.

Any idea what's causing this?

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
is this new again? haha
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Strange I have the same basic config and just tried it again without error. I will look more closely later.
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Stupid double post
[G1 Android Development] zombiefly:
i've moved to the cyanogen rom now and have it all working using your instructions. This build seems nice so i'll probably stay with it now. :)

I wonder if you could help?: Is the widget supposed to work? the one i have is white and only has minimal detail, it looks very much like the old widget but does open the new music player. Am i missing something here? I was expecting a "special" larger widget but i'm having trouble tracking down what that looks like :)
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
I would be happy to do a proper widget for you. Is there a theme or color scheme you want?
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
edit: file has been signed. disregard this post. Lovin the player.

Donno if its been reported yet but if you search for a song, album, artist etc if by the 3rd letter you type nothing is found it locks the selection your searching on. Its resolved by leaving list view then going back in list view. Im thinkin bout java for dummies this weekend.

Ok,

1) Wipe

2) Install Dude's 1.3rc2

3) Install HtcMusic update.

Do you have 1 or 2 music icons?

That's what I did I have not had any problems. Do you have the HTC_IME keyboard? Or just the standard?

Please provide more details about which radio you have.

Apps2SD or not?
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
Wish I would have read that before I tried to flash 3.6.2 then original july first htc_music update. Oh well, thank god for cyanogens new recovery image. I did a nandroid restore while walking in the grocery store from recovery mode, friggin sweet. Can't wait for your update so I can start using this again. I love it, and what you are doing. Keep up the good work.

[G1 Android Development] ratana412:
I have 1 music icon after this, the htc music icon. I restored back though. I have the HTC IME keyboard installed. I have the latest radio and Haykuro latest SPL. I do not do apps2SD however I did partition my sd card as I found that without partitioning it, many builds did not work.

Is this the same version that's in the hero theme? And if its not, will it over write the theme if I flash the update?
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
Unless Tehseano update it this is not the same version thats in the Hero theme, However....The update for cyanogens rom should only be used for his rom.

Otherwise, continue to use the original one posted.

This wont wipe out the theme, at least it shouldnt...

Stericson
[G1 Android Development] dallas.maverick:
I tired and I got stuck in a boot loop twice. The theme already has this music app, so I guess probably not a good idea to update if you have the HTC Hero theme installed already. I had to reflash the theme to overwrite the HTCMusic app, it specifically printed in logcat that there was a problem with the HTCMusic app. Good work though!!!
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
What was the error in logcat?

What build were you on?

Stericson
[G1 Android Development] kockroach:
Don't forget that the Hero theme isn't truly set up for CM 3.6.2, perhaps that is the problem.

Your using 3.6.1...This is for 3.6.2

you'll ned to continue using the original one or update to his newest version.

Stericson
[G1 Android Development] dallas.maverick:
I didn't capture the error, but I know I got the same thing twice. If it helps, I can get myself into the same state to capture logs for you. I really dont think its a problem with your music file, its probably due to the fact that Hero theme also has its own version of the HTC Hero Music, so, your update is probably not writing over all necessary files. Let me know if you need me to reprroduce issue and capture logcat.
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
I can clarify what the error is if I can see the logs...
