Hi guys,
I recently got the epic 4g and have just finished installing cm7 nightly 33.... don't worry am not here to report a bug or anything I just wanted to know few things... just to bring me at speed here.

ok the thing is the stock music and video players that come with epic 4g preinstalled... are they samsung's software or just some app from the market... coz thwy aren't named music its sound player 1.0 instead???
Also are these player, samsung's or a third party, the same in all the galaxy phones or only in epic 4g???
The 5.1 channel capability is what I miss the most... so is there any market alternative???
I tried installing it from titaniumbackup but it just stucks on restoring app notification... but once out of maybe 6 to7 tries it was finally installed, well it said successful, but as soon as clicked the launcher the epic crashed and refused to load again, just some commands were visible everytime I started the phone, had to install the cleangb rom again and only then was I able to get back cm7???

Also am I the only one who liked the 5.1 feature, specially the movies felt better then my hometheater....

is someone working on fixing this or will it be just left out???

I know too many questions but well...
Thanks in advance Guys.

I think those were Samsung apps. I believe that Touchwiz actually replaced the stock apps and gave them the same names and such so you couldn't install the original Google versions of them. I'm not 100% sure why you can't restore them though.

Either way, they are not a part of CM.

Yep, those are samsung apps which tie into the twframework which will not work on CM or any AOSP roms. There is a thread discussing the porting of TW apps to CM (XDA), but I suspect the video & music apps would be quite difficult to port. I'm not aware of any other apps that allow 5.1 sound but maybe someone else is. I use Google Music for audio and haven't found a video player I like as well.
