I am running Andromeda 1.1 (Froyo 2.2 from Armani Cap) and the music player sucks balls compared to the one I had with Eclair JH7. Anyone got the apk for that player? I really liked the carousel view in landscape mode. Thanks.
Sure. Let me get it for you in a sec. Hold tight.
EDIT: Here you go - Musicplayer.apk
Thanks, man, much appreciated.
Just tried installing this and I get a message saying this is a system app and am I sure I want to replace it. I click yes, it starts to install then I get a failed to install message. Do I need to uninstall the stock player first? I can't believe how crappy the Froyo player is compared to the Eclair one.

It will always fail if you just try and install it. You have to use a file manager like root explorer and place it in system/app and it will work just fine. You can not overwrite a system app that easy most of the time.

Hmmm....I copied this apk and the MediaHub apk into the same folder (Downloads) on the device. MediaHub installed fine. I'll try your method, but how will it create an icon in TouchWiz by just putting it into that folder?
It will overwrite the previous version. If it doesn't work for you right away, do a reboot and you should be good.
I said yes to overwriting, but it still fails. I went and purchased root explorer, moved the apk to data/app, but I have no way to start the app because there's no icon in the app drawer for it. Rebooted several times. If I go into Settings>Application>Manage Applications and click on ALL I see Sound Player in the list with the familiar icon I remember, but all the options for it are grayed out.

refer to above quote...it's a system app so you need to copy it to /system/app not /data/app
Doh! <fp> Worked like a charm. Thanks! Don't know why the Froyo Music Player is so lame. The Eclair player has built-in EQ, disc view, 5.1 sim with wired headphones and a much better GUI. Go figure.

Hey, not sure if this really belongs here, or in General, but since its semi-hacking the system, I'll post here first.
It seems, so far, that Touchwiz isn't nearly as deeply integrated as Sense is, and that at least some of Samsung's Modified Apps can just be backed-up, deleted, and replaced with the stock apps from Android 2.1 (using apps ripped from CM5.0.8 for Nexus 1 for my attempts.)
So, I thought I'd start a list of stock Android 2.1 apps that people have made work on the vibrant. I know a lot of people are waiting for CM or other custom roms and alternate recovery images, but in the mean time, lets start customizing!
I have confirmed the following to work, but only after the original touchwiz apps are deleted from /system/app, then the stock apps are installed via the standard installer to /data/app and cp over to /system/app then reboot
Music.apk
DeskClock.apk
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Mms.apk (NEW! added 7/21/2010)
Another pleasant surprise, is that I now have the default Calendar, music, and news & weather widgets on my vibrant!
Again, adb push didn't work for anything since I can't remount with r/w access yet, but a su adb shell allowed me to busybox cp them to /sytem/app once they were installed.
I've tried the same method with the CM5.0.8 LiveWallpapers with no success, so maybe someone else has some suggestions?
My next step is to test out bringing the original phone.apk and contacts.apk/contactsprovider.apk over
7/21/2010
Got the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 brought over, still having tons of trouble with the default dialer and contacts/contacts provider, samsung has buried their signature for these deep in android somewhere, even outside of /data/system/packages.xml so any attempt to install the CM versions even after removing the Touchwiz apps fail.
7/22/2010
Pushed ADW Launcher to system, works like a charm! However, removing the TouchWiz30Launcher apk/odex and replacing with adw or launcher pro generates constant FC's for me, so sadly, it looks like it has to stay installed for now.
cheers everyone!

Sorry for the confusion about 'news and weather' I just meant I was unable to adb push the apk directly to system. It installs fine by default to /data/app but I wanted it in /system/app to survive resets, hence the busybox cp.
So far no luck with contacts/contactsprovider =(
Every version I try give me an install failed error, regardless of removing all traces of the samsung versions, even their references in /data/system/packages.xml

Hi again.
I haven't tried deleting the touchwiz launcher yet, but I'm using launcherPro Plus (and playing with ADW too, I really like that ADW supports the touchwiz horizontal style 'paging' in the app drawer, and hope launcher pro eventually supports it too) and they both work quite well, and should work fine when pushed into /system/app too.
Will update if I'm brave enough to remove the TW launcher, probably not tonight though, just spent the last 3 hours trying to get the stock dialer & contacts, and it was an epic fail, samsung has buried the touchwiz dialer/contacts signature deep, so no matter what I try, I always get an Install_failed_update_incompatible error when pushing the stock apps to the phone.
This is the same error I first received with the calendar, but a simple settings->applications->manage applications 'uninstall' of the remaining TWCalendar and Provider, and a reboot cleared that error, sadly that's not the case with dialer and contacts.
Maybe a wipe would fix this, but I'll wait another day or so to see how the clockwork custom recovery pans out, plus I need to make sure nandroid works so I can backup before I try that.
It also might be linked to something buried in the TW framework, I don't know, but I'm so not brave enough to mess with frameworks yet.
cheers everyone
Root Explorer allows your mount and unmount system drives btw. I like using it over ADB bc I can do it on the bus or train while commuting.
If I want to install the Stock 2.1 Calendar App, do I need to install the Calendar provider apk as well? I know the answer seems obvious but I just want to check

Hey all,
I'm running Axura and I prefer the touchwiz music player that came with the Captivate. I made a Titanium Backup but I can't seem to locate the particular app that is the music app. It should be possible to extract since the touchwiz Video player is in the ROM, but the music app.
Can anyone point me to a link to download the touchwiz music player app?
Thanks! Really appreciate.

Nope, it depends on TouchWiz frameworks that aren't a part of the Aria's ROM.
You could try the MiUi player.
Make sure you have android sdk before you do this and adb abilities enabled. Just open up a command prompt then put in this command cd c:/android ask or whatever u named or where u put your ask then after/tools then you should put in adb install and put the location of where you put the apk like so"c:/users/account name/wherever you put the rom for a video tutorial go to youtube and type in how to sideload adb should be the first one if not search for the video made MobieTechVideos

Keyboards are system apps, you don't install. Put the apk into the /system/app folder using ADB or root explorer. You may or may not have to reboot to get it to show.

If that doesn't work there might be a lib file in /system/lib for the predictive text dictionary also. All I use is swype and thats how it is with that idk about this one for sure though.

You can push the Samsung TW music apk into system/apps folder with root explorer if you know how to do so. You must remove the existing ASOP music apk out of there first. You may want the copy it to your sdcard for backup first.

I think so. It's just the stock Samsung music apk. I have done it before, I am on EC01. Just make sure you have a backup of the ASOP music apk on your sdcard incase you have to put it back in system/app.
Didn't work... it flagged and installed ok. But when I booted up it was as nothing happened.
Huh idk. It has worked for me before. Did you reboot after you put the apk in system app? Somebody will have to make it a flashable edify patch zip then, I am not sure how to do that.

When I say push, I mean copy and paste apk files into system/app folder on your phone. You need to do this with the root explorer app in r/w (read write) mode. You will see the other music apk in the system/app folder.
In root explorer (make sure it is set as r/w)...
1. copy and paste the tw musicplayer apk into the system/app folder on your phone. Here is the apk file http://db.tt/CqMdGtT
2. copy the music apk (the one we are removing), and paste it to your sdcard somewhere. Now you have a backup of it.
3. Go back into system/app folder and delete music apk. You should now have only one music apk in that folder, the TW music player apk.
4. set root explorer back to r/o (read only)
5. reboot, when it is booted up you should now have music player in your app drawer.
*Warning this only works with certain apks. If you delete certain system files from system/app folder it may screw things up. Always have a backup of your system through clockwork before you push things.

Glad this method does still work. I use AndRootFile as a file manager and it mounts r/w automatically when you select to run it as superuser. Followed the same process that has always worked for me and it does put the apk in system/app, it just never loads an icon in the drawer or opens.

In the ongoing battle to not have the market crash on launch (rooted stock 1.3 running 4.6.16 and I fixed permissions with ROM manager) I've noticed that titanium backup seems to be a start for a few potential fixes. That said - I have to actually install the bloody thing and w/out market access that's proving tough.
I d'loaded the apk via. the built-in browser. It's on my SD card. But I can't seem to find any way for the built-in app-laucher to....well, launch. When I run the apk's from the browser I get 2 options:
Complete action (running apk) using:
* App Installer (which when clicked says it's unable to install and that I should archive then unarchive the app and try again)
* Package installer (which says there's a prob. parsing the package).
I've got what I assume to be non-market app's checked off in NC Tools (it's the blank box in NC Tools with nothing next to it that people talk about).
Any suggestions to get the bloody apk working?
Sounds like a badly packaged .apk. It also has that error whenever I try to install Honeycomb specific apps.

In the NC tools I do have what is supposed to be the non-market installs checked off (but with it being a blank box of text next to it, I'm not positive).
I guess it might be a bad apk, but I got it from the TB site directly. I tried ES File Explorer too. It would seem all apk's I'ev tried give the same error. I'm not sure if maybe B&N somehow hobbled the ability to install apk's with their 1.3 update.
