Hi, I tried to flash new version of Miui Music app but it doesn't read my musics, permissions are ok. What's wrong with that?
i cannot help youwith the app specific problems, may be the app is missing libraries or odex files or permissions within etc folder..(which, by the way are somewhat pro things)


i can help you if you have any problem with flashing the zip or if you cant flash the zip, or if you want help in the procedure, or if your app is missing even after flashing the zip..

best adwise that im gonna give you is,
try and put your app inside data/app/miuimusicplayer.apk

it will work:good:
