Some time ago I ported Walkman app that came with Xperia S ICS update(and other NXT models) to Xperia 2011 lineup.After that I got lot of requests to port it to other devices.Finally had some free time and here it is.

This is only for non Xperia mobiles with running ICS or Jelly Bean.Tested on CM10 and works good :good:

I have a problem encountered. I flash the zip via CWM but it only shows the rescan media root app. Im using Motorola Droid2Global with ICS AOKP rom.

I tried 2 times, just didnt install, its not in system nor the other directories ..

both of you send me a working cwm flashable files here.I will check updater script and see if there's any changes needs to be made.
Neo is my first android


Installation aborts at me!
what's the error? also again post a working cwm flashable zip for your device here

I dont know if it is just me but I tried to Flash it in TWRP 2.2 on my HTC One XL (AT&T)

It failed installation.
it just said FAILED.

Not sure if it is meant to be flashed with TWRP since you said to flash with CWM:confused:

EDIT: Here is the link to the TWRP I am using.
The TWRP is in the attachement on the thread.

THANKS! :)

I see 4 apks in the zip. There is one in in data/app :

61670c21-a005-38c4.jpg


And 3 in system/app :

61670c21-a028-82b4.jpg


From the look of it I guess I should install the data one as a normal app, and install the other 3 and transfer to system apps?

I want to try this, but don't want to mess anything up, and i try to not flash via recovery as much as possible.

Really nice player.

It's working like this to me (just copy the apk and changed permissions to rw-r-r), But it's missing album covers in the player (appear in lockscreen ?!?!?) and visualizer crashes.

It's not recommended to install via CWM, in my ideos X5 the phone was not working any more (No Service).

That is because you didn't installed the lib files by not flashing(missing album covers & visualizer crash).

What?

Yes, after flashing the zip and reboot the phone I was not able to do phone calls any more, there was no sound, etc..

But I believe that makes sense because I don't have an Xperia phone.

I was looking at that (lib's) I will try it thanks!

Additional info: as mentioned before flashing has not worked for me. (I've a Huawei x5) and I decided to do it manually.

The cover art was missing due to folder system/lib that I've not copied. First attempt the phone was not working again, then I've done in a different way and have only copy the file from system/lib of the zip file but without replace the existent ones.

Know i've covert art and visualizer working and the phone is working normally... The only problem that I've is with equilizer (but I had the same issue with apolo player)

Flashed it on i9001..but I didn't find any app after flashing the zip file!
Should it be installed separately?

I believe that you don't have enough space available in system folder.

Be careful, read my previous posts. Please do a backup of your Rom firsts.
