LoL @ justin beiber in the screenshots

looks pretty sweet ill check it out...plus i hate you, Mr. 4g haha just joking :]

Does anyone know if you get the controls in the notification menu like the current one in Froyo?

no controls in the notification menu...

Since this doesn't have any controls in the notification bar, does it have a widget or are there any controls for the lock screen?

ok, thanks

Can anyone help me out with Step 2:
2. Copy the apk file to /system/app folder and you are done.
Do I need a certain program or app to do this?

Use any file manager like astro or root explorer. You can also use adb to push it to /system/app folder.
Goto market and download a file manager.

I installed multiple file explorers and everytime I try to move the file into the the system/app folder, I keep getting an error saying I do not have enough permission. Any help?

Works really good. Thanks for posting.

Use adb to do the job.
Code:
adb push /path/to/downloaded/apk/MiuiMusic.apk /system/app
Or buy "Root Explorer" from the market

Lets start with the basics to see where you stand...
1. Are you rooted?
2. Goto market and download "Astro File Manager".

Ok connect your phone with usb to your computer turn on mass storage copy the apk file not the zip file to the root of your sd card.
Disconnect the phone from the computer open astro copy or move the apk file from the root of your sd card to /system/app folder and you are done.

Right, I've already tried this from the beginning and each file manager I use, including astro does not allow me to move the music player file into the system/app folder.

Follow this guide up to Step 3.
After you have ADB working, then type the following
Code:
adb push /path/to/downloaded/apk/MiuiMusic.apk /system/app
Remember to use the correct path to the apk

(the bootanimation is without sound )
how to install:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip into SD card.
2. go to all apps > root explorer > system > media > and you will see a bootanimation.zip
3. press PASTE and your new bootanimation.zip will replace it.
ore just push it trough ADB to /system/media
enjoy!

lol, this is fantastic!

thanks for the animation! honestly I dont want nyannyannyan on my phone but it got me a cool idea for a personal boot animation, however I can not install it: when trying to paste it to "system\media " folder with root explorer I got this message: "you cannot paste here because the file system is ready only"
phone is rooted but still on stock rom, any ideas where do i go wrong?
anyways, nyannyannyan nyannyan...

If you have root explorer you should be able to just paste it right in. All you need to do is mount the sd as R/W. To do this just click on the R/W button at the top right hand side of root explorer. After pasting it I think you need to change the permission of the zip file as well to let the system access it. You can also do this with root explore.
I'm new on XDA so please press the THANKS button if I was any help. I need at least one thanks to look a bit respectable in this forum.

your answer is correct sir! (its not necessary to change zips permission, they should be fine allready)
@topanyel, remember to NOT COMPRESS your zip folder with the bootanimation in it, else it will not work.

Root your phone and solve the EFS problem. The EFS folder is very important for the legality of your Galaxy and for your IMEI code.....copy your folder on desktop PC and in the external SD.
Root explorer is the application that help you in this operation.

I am recommending to copy this file also on external sd card, just to be safe.
This method will also copy the file permissions.

The command line doesn't work, it just says file not found for me.

There are quite a few apps out there that have a provision for saving your EFS folder.
I use Nitrality https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nfye.insanity.toolbox&feature

But the important question is why it is important ???? what could happen? i count my self as noob on android. i have an galaxy tab 7" and moded it with odin lots of times but never backed up my efs folder. also if i backup my efs folder how can i realize that i need to restore that ?

i wanted to save but it's required to install busybox and i don't know how to do...
sorry but i come from IOS, i'm new on android...
i have root explorer installed, can i do just a copy of the EFS folder then save it ?

EFS folder include IMEI codec number for your phone.
without IMEI or with corrupt IMEI is not legal....and you cannot sell in this way your Galaxy

Then I guess I just have to save this EFS folder with root explorer ? no need special software to do it ?

so do I just literally copy the whole efs folder with root explorer and save it on my sd card, no more then that?

Or you could use this tool from Hellcat, ktool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314719&highlight=ktool
its pretty easy to use, you can install it from GooglePlay.
There's a small guide here on more ways to backup your efs folder, including ktool in the link bellow:

[APP] Camera from Google Play Edition devices

Once again, not affiliated with this app, just found it to be working flawlessly on our poor little HTC Vivids. This is the proclaimed Android 4.3 Camera that's on the Google Play Edition phones. Originally found here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340858
How I got it to work-
1. Move Gallery2.apk out of system/app/ (I backed it up in another folder just in case)
2. Install the Googleeditioncamera.apk from your preferred mirror here
3. Take pictures!

Side notes- Some advanced options are not included in this stock app- Shutter sound cannot be disabled, and you cannot change the camera to save to external storage, the options just arent there.. So if this is important to you, think twice about installing the apk. I've been using the camera on Vibrate mode and it's been silent for me, FYI.
If you find this useful, please hit the thanks button here and in the original thread linked above. Thanks!

How did you move Gallery2.apk out of the app folder? I tried using a file management app and it just gets stuck at 50%. I've also tried straight up deleting it and that doesn't work either. I am unable to access the root phone file through USB.
Thank you.

Try using a root file explorer on the phone set permissions on /system to RW, I use ES File Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop

Alright - I used ES Flie Explorer to move the file to another location as backup, but Gallery2.apk is still there and cannot be deleted. /system is also Readable and Writeable.
EDIT: I went into the terminal and did the following commands;
su
chmod 777 system/app
but received "Unable to chmod system/app: Read-only file system"

Which rom are you on? Are you running this as root? If you are on a root'ed rom and /system is mounted as RW then you should be able to delete the app from ES File Explorer in the root file explorer.

Those are just symlinks to the the same files. In 4.2.2 the file structure was changed to support multi-user accounts.
In 4.1.x your data files were stored in /data/media
in 4.2.x your data files are now stored in /data/media/0
Below is a screenshot of /data/media for a 4.2 file system, if you have any other folders in /data/media you can delete them, the two important ones you should not delete are 0 and legacy
You will need to use a root-enabled explorer to see the files/folders in /data/media
PS: in my screenshot, the clockworkmod is just a symlink to /data/media/0/clockworkmod as you can see from the little "shortcut" icon

As of 4.2 the file structure was changed. So before the update all your data was in a folder /data/media and now all the data should be in /data/media/0
The folders you are showing in your picture "0" and "legacy" actually are just links to the same primary folder which is /data/media/0. So even though it seems that there are two separate folders, it's actually the same one with the same contents. no duplicates.
During the update it MAY have happened that the files were copied to the new location (/data/media/0) BUT also remained in the old location (/data/media).
So in order to be able to see if there are any leftovers you would need a file explorer, such as ES File Explorer, and enable ROOT access to see the files in /data/media. If you do not enable ROOT access then the files won't show up in /data/media because they're hidden away from non superuser.
You are rooted right? What ROM are you running?
Oh, just a thought came to mind, what Music app are you using? Can you find out from which folders it's creating the library.
