[Q] Can anybody tell me something about this Walkman music app? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got this Walkman app from a rom (I can't remember which one). But I can't seem to find anything like it.
Can anyone tell me if its the original app or a mod or a miui or something?
I've attached the apk if you want to see it for yourself. But it can't be installed from the SD card normally. I have to put it in /system/app of my rom and flash it for the app to work. I don't know if its a permission thing but kudos if you could figure it out.
Here's some screenshots:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, the interesting thing about this app is that it can choose from my music library when I set my ringtones or alarms. I haven't seen any other app that can do this.

You will not find any real Walkman player around here. Only MIUI Music mods.

That's what I found out too by searching XDA and google. That's why I'm curious about this app.

I'll give it a spin tomorrow. It's rather late now & I need my beauty sleep

How did you come across this file? It's the ..... strangest thing. Perhaps its origins may shed more light on its true nature ....

It came with a rom I used before. My guess is that its from one of the early versions of GingerXperia by xperiafan13 but I'm not quite sure. Also, the only other rom I really use is doxianh's GDX. Did you try the app? Its actually a decent music player in my opinion.

I could be wrong, but isn't that the Walkman app out of the W8/E16 ROM?

It came from xgin 5.4 and lower he was the 1st to give it to the public of this forum

Does this mean its the original walkman app? and not just some miui o mod? And if it is the original walkman app, has there been any update to it? As I said its a decent music player unfortunately the look of its UI is quite outdated.

I think it could have really came from xgin since there was an issue with the "originality" of GingerXperia a few months ago, if I remember correctly.

Sweet! Now on the quest for an update from any possible forum!

Google result with the new info about xgin and this app resulted to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081515http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081515
Its not quite the app I was talking about but I'll try it anyways. Who knows this could be a newer version of this app.
UPDATE:
I tried the app from the link and unfortunately I don't think its a version of the app. The UI is quite different and it also doesn't have the option to choose from my music library in setting ringtones or alarms. It also had fewer options like the shake to skip. So the hunt continues

Mixzing only one with an audio EQ. Thus my player of choice.
Mixzing is good!! Its growing on me, but i have to admit the EQ isnt that great needs a bit more work
If you want more opinions there's a thread about this topic in the general android software forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733651
I was also trying to decide on a player. Ultimately I chose the paid version of mixzing.
I like bTunes because I can create a current play list and/or playlists for later.. I didn't see any others which seemed to do this.
But the iPony interface has GOT TO DIE. I hate it.
Truthfully, this list to vote on is quite limited. There's just so many.
I've looked at winamp, cubed, ttpad,google music builtin, player pro, amp and a few random others.
Of the list above I haven't found one I love yet and havent tried many of what the OP posted.
TTpad is not good at all, it boggles my mind why people keep +1 ing it all over the place? For bleeps sake, at least make it multilingual so us purely english speakers and readers dont have to deal with script which means nothing to us.
Google music is decent and free. It needs a home screen, album art, lyrics. Player Pro has it. This thread has inspired me to try mixzing (but its UI artwork didnt grab me). I'll post back with a real vote.
Edit: I went to play store to try mixzing, noted it wants permissions to read personal data and log files? Screw off. This is unnecessary. I'm not trying it.
personnaly i dont care about permission...
And i use Poweramp. great music player you xan add themes

I understand many people don't.. but you should! If I could make one change in the smart phone community today, this would be it!!!
Do you walk around with your credit card number taped to your back and magnified with the CVV code there for convenience? Do you videotape your intimate relations and play them at work or school publicly? Do you enjoy telemarketers calling you at any hour and automated systems trying to sell you stuff that oddly relates to a web search you placed a few days earlier? Does your family & friends enjoy getting these annoying calls when their cell phone # has been learned from your compromised phone?
Clearly I am exaggerating, but not as much as you may think. This is quite a realistic relationship. You should care.

Hell No... I tried it... that's about it, but it's a lot like the Vanilla launcher; no options/customization.
I thought the stock gingerbread launcher had a 3d app drawer like froyos stock launcher
Is this ONLY available if you're running a Froyo rom? Everything i've read says it's 2.3 launcher for Froyo. Has anyone run this on Eclair, or is it even possible?
I'll stick with LP full version. Nothing beats it...
Ill stick with the stock froyo launcher.

Yes, I uninstalled the others while this one was installing.
It's new and shiny, so better by definition.
Once it can be customized it'll be newer and shinier and even better!

I tried the CWM zip option and found the touch alignment is off. In order for me to make selection I need to tap slightly above the desired item. Otherwise, yes, very cool music app. Beautiful interface.

It happens with both. The .apk within' the cwm zip is the same. I noticed that too. Touch the very top of the album art.
good day.
Interestingly enough, after rebooting my phone and starting MIUI Music my touch calibration seems to be spot on now.

Miui Vs Poweramp
In terms of functionality how does Miui compare to Poweramp? I can appreciate its aesthetics but if the equalizer, supported formats, and gapless playback isn't there then it becomes hard to justify changing.

It's in Chinese for me too, but the screenshot shows it should be in English. Where can I find the same version in English?
So can someone take this app and make the ENGLISH version install like a normal app for those of us that are not rooted or don't want to flash it in to the system directory?
I know this can be done because did that for a previous version which allowed me to use MIUI Music.
Also, does anyone know where I can find the source code for just MIUI Music and not the whole ROM?
I like this but is there a way to take it off?

No video pop-up on 4.0.4 EUR?

I have 4.0.4 EUR, I have (useless) signature unlock, but no "pop up" button on video player.
Anybody to verify this? Or a way to enable it?
Pop up button is on the upside of the video after the name
But super video is way better than Samsung pop up player

Can you screen shot and post a pic of your video player as it is? All the 4.0.4 have a little "pop-out" button kinda looks like the maximise button on a PC window in the top right of the player...
You could always use SuperVideo or something...
Yes I know how it should look like and trust me there is no button there.
I will try to take a screenshot later in the afternoon (unless I forget), but there isn't anything special for you to see. Just see your video player from before 4.0.4.
Once try installing this then decide which one is better, this one or stock?

i would've thought it would be added to Sony Select camera apps rather than in a new firmware.
why make a separate camera add-on store and then not use it.
only guessing
personally id rather they made some good video camera apps. already alot of decent photo apps on the playstore but barely any good video camera apps.
During the CES live stream they said that background defocus was a Z1s exclusive.
But @niaboc79 has confirmed he'll port that apps once we get Z1x dump files.
And if we know and we know that he's developing for Z family of Xperias (we'll get his eXistenZ ROM) - we will get all of that and I'm sure many more aps and features from new devices...

It will come via Sony Select like all the other camera apps
Of course we get all this... c'mon patience guys. The Z1s is not even on the market, they sell it from the 22nd on (update: looks like some shippings are done).
We will have KitKat, a better Camera App and a whole bunch of updates and so on and on and on. Time by time.
Meanwhile why you just don't enjoy this awesome phone?
