it doesnt matter if you dont want to use it for default dashboard.
If you want it to work AT ALL, you need to do this.
I also thought it was only if I wanted it to be my dashboard and didnt ever think of doing it, but I did and now it works, placing that cut file pointing to where your player is wont replace the dashboard, i boot with evo-x still, so i just go to apps and run the player from there.
