Has anyone heard of such a thing or thought about developing one for it? I know the iPhone has one, which makes me sad if they do and we don't.
I was searching for the exact same thing. Sadly, there is no iSlsk for Android, but there are some awesome alternatives.
TubeDroid - It downloads audio/video from a YouTube video. It works flawlessly. Just search for the video, then choose "Download Audio", and after downloading, the .mp3 file will be active in the music library. One thing, the app is commercial, but that shouldn't be a problem. PM me.
iMusic - It's a free [sort of] app. Works just as Slsk does. Trying it out, but it works. It's off the market, but you can go to the developers site [greencode.me] and scan the QR code.
It's free to download, but the free version of the app only gives you a limited amount of search results. Just so you know.
Music Junk - Some people recommended it. I'm not sure how it works, but theres only one way to find out.
That's it. I mostly use TubeDroid for everything, but having an alternative is always good. Take care.
tubemate is on the market, and its free, and constantly being developed and improved.

None of the options above mentioned are soulseek native client with all its inmense data base of songs....
+ 10000! Please, anyone can develope an apk that connects us p2p with soulseek, the hugest music data base of the planet?
Help to make android the best OS! It's true that ios had a soulseek client via Cydia, it was developed by an Argentinian geek when the ios was in its 3.0's. But he stopped to do it unfortunately, this is the only implement I've seen that has ever had an iPhone but never has had the Android in its glorious short history ...
nothing exists and probably won't. best alternative is tunee,literally finds anything I want

There seems to be a solution here http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/02/28/necessitas/ but it is beyond my level. Maybe someone here that understands all of this can help port SoulSeek over to Android or something. :fingers-crossed:

okay, so I have been a fulltime Soulseek user since it's inception.. what 11 or 12 years ago now. I even still use the original client. I have been searching for a proper client since my first Android hack on my Sony Xperia x10a. That's when I first came across Goseek. It cost $2.00, and it seemed so experimental by the actual description that I just never bothered.
For me SLSK isn't just about the music database. Of course it's immense, yes but its the users , and the rooms that make slsk what it is. So I am looking for that in my client, not just a music downloader. its the community. the friendships, the rooms are the soul of the little bluebird. I am going to check out this Goseek now, as it is free now. I will let you know my opinion soon ok. cheers

There are now soulseek clients, both official and unofficial.
The official one is basically slsk qt, and the unofficial one is goseek.
However, although both installed apparently correctly, and all the onboard functions and features appear to work, when it comes to finger tapping on the desired search result/s to begin the download of music file, however much u tap that finger on your screen, nothing happens.
Not even a notice to tell you there is a "fail" somewhere or anywhere in the process.
I am only guessing when I say that unlike my favourite soulseek client, soulseek nt, which only need be installed on a pc or laptop, username and password entered, and voila (firewall may need opening), and it just fully works. No (for non-experts) time consuming port forwarding needed.
So yes, apps exist, but for myself, but NO, THEY DONT work for the average. User, and perhaps don't work for anyone.
If anyone has advice for a "non-geek", will u please let me know know?
Thank you.

For me Goseek works perfectly. Maybe not a very comfortable interface but I browse in the user's folders and download them like in the laptop.
Anyone have any new Soulseek for Android options? Looks like the Goseek app has been abandoned for quite some time now.

I know it's been over a month now since your post. Did you find a fix for GoSeek via Nougat?
Of course Iphone has one, they always get everything and android gets left in the dark, fast forward 7 years later and literally, nothing has changed.
Whoever said goseek works perfectly, clearly has an eye for unfinished garbage thus the android world we live in. Sad when you cannot do something as simple as set a custom path to your music sharing folder which for me is /storage/emulated/0/music but goseek insists I use /storage/emulated/0/goseek even though it is empty, and scanning for media is absolutely useless.
There is no official slsk qt for android, don't know where anyone is getting that from. As for the unofficial goseek it is quite non-functional at best and as mentioned above has been abandoned for some time now.

I don't agree at all. Goseek was messy and poorly designed, a lot of work to do it had. And the worst is that it crashes from Nougat onwards.
But before it served me to download countless of music on my mobile when I was away from my pc.

I'm planing to buy TF soon, and I can't wait to get it
I'm intrested in one thing I couldn't find anywhere: can i view 2 programs in the same time? Just like in windows. For example on the left side of screen I can write office doc, and on the right side I can PDF files?
No.........................................
But why hasn't anyone thought of doing this? this would be an awesome feature, and we have the real estate to work with in tablet land. Android limitations that can't be overcome even with root access?
Yes.. so if you want to copy something from pdf to your doc, you must constantly switch programs, it is a bit harder but I think google, or someone else would add this feature soon..

Planned release end of Q2 so pretty soon now

There's an app called OnSkreen which will be implemented directly into OEM rom's which will allow for multi window running of applications. Check out their YouTube videos. Cool stuff, but you'll basically have to buy a tablet with it on there from the start (none exist at the moment).

It's not an APP, it's a special ROM that the company will sell to manufacturers - you can't just install it to your device. The beta will "hopefully" offer this rom to certain devices, but there's no guarantee that our Transformers will get it.

Is there any developer out there that have plans for making such an app for the phones as well?
I think that he/she would get donations from a lot of people if they started working on it. There are many programs that do not embed a widget option and if someone could make a widget that could scale down programs an ie put to running programs on the screen in vertical mode that would be soooooo niiiiiiice!! On my Galxy SII such an app would be perfect...
Anyone?

The thing is its not really an app but, like stated, a heavily customized OS. It goes back to how these mobile OS'es were devised. Its not windowed because they are assuming you are on a system that wouldn't perform well with multiple active apps and on a small screen where you would need all of the real estate.
There are times when I would wish for it but since apps are cached and not killed (if they are developed properly) its pretty easy to "alt-tab" back and forth between them when needed.

Hi community,
based on ICS we developed "Android-Transporter" which is similar to WiFi
Display or Air Play. It allows you to transfer your display to another
device. For a demonstration see http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter.
To implement this efficiently we had to hack the platform, to allow us to
grab the screen content in the surface-flinger. The image is then encoded
with the standard media-encoder which uses the hardware acceleration of
your mobile. The result is streamed with rtsp to another device (the demo
shows another mobile, but this could also be a tv or media-center).
Right now this is just a hack, but we plan to continue our work on
this. The next steps on our road-map are:
- Dual screen support with accompanying SDK.
- WiFi Direct support.
- We plan to open-source our patches for the Android platform.
For the last point we thought of the brilliant cm9. Would this be of
interest for the cyanogenmod community? If you are willing to give this a
try, we would love to contribute to cm9.
Regards,
Christian Köstlin
Sounds interesting, any way we can try this for ourselves?

Thanks for your interest. If you have two Nexus-S at hand I could provide you with an ICS-4.0.3-based images.
Both devices should already be in the same WiFi-network, as we do not
have WiFi-direct for the Nexus-S (for the demo I just created a
portable WiFi-hotspot with one of the devices). Additionally you need
two small apks (one one the client, one on the server, which I would also provide) to initiate the video-transport between the two devices. After a NFC-bump the connection should be established and the display mirrored from one
device to the other.
As this is not yet a final release, I would like to give you the links to the images and the apks by private message.

As the protocol is based on rtsp/rtp, our first version (altough with a
higher latency) was between one device and gstreamer or vlc on a
desktop pc. Right now the setup is a little bit complicated, but if
you have a Nexus-S at hand and are willing to experiment a little bit,
I could provide a link to a ICS-4.0.3-based system-image for you.
As the software is still in experimental stage I would prefer to give you the link only in a private message.

Actually NFC is not essential to the screen-transfer. It just makes the setup easier. Right now we just have the Nexus-S images, but we are also working on a Galaxy Nexus-port.
As a target we also did play with a Xoom (which worked out-of-the-box, but with a bad latency).
We would love to get some coverage on the portal, but we do not know what would be interesting for you guys. Also we would like to show you the hack on your own devices.

Hi conantroutman, your comment got us to think about a possible article for the portal. We really would like to show the stuff we did with Android Transporter. Possible content for an article could be:
Changes to the platform that we had to do.
Problems we still have and discussion with the community how to solve them (e.g. a big part of the latency is due to omx in the nexus-s)
Outlook to adaptions to the theme: "standard based transfer of screen content
Currently we are also preparing an audio track for the youtube video, to explain a little more about whats going on.
We really would like to raise the interest in this, so that we could get some chance and perhaps even help to integrate the patch into one of the bigger roms (like cm9).
Perhaps you could help us with the article to streamline it to the needs and interest of the xda-developers community.
hoping to hear from you!

currently this is a complete custom rom for Nexus-S based on the original google ICS source. I hope we will be able to integrate the patch into a widely available rom like cyanogenmod. If it's finished no root access should be necessary.

So in addition to mirroring displays between devices you can also do air play mirroring like the iPad? If so count me in as a tester I have a cyanogenmod 9 tablet and apple TV 2.

Second, I have a Nexus S for Sprint and I am adept at backing up and testing new ROMS so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me you have something I could test. I am absolutely desperate to try this out for a video podcast I work on.

You can send me a message on here and I'll give you my email address.

Christian,
I, as an owner of a Galaxy Nexus, would love to able to test this out for you guys. If there is ever a port for the GN or need some guinea pig to try out the software and provide feedback consider me your guy!
I have a question for you. When this is released, will it be open sourced? I ask because if you can stream the display, this could similarly be used to transfer large files as well. This functionality does not exist on many wi-fi direct devices.
Again, this. is. kickass.

It's now called 'Tasks (based on Astrid)' by Alex Baker. Seems quite active but it doesn't have the pure calendar widget support yet so I'm still on the original Astrid. Just trying out 'DGT GTD' which is looking very promising considering it's rock solid and still in alpha!

I got it to see what the fuss is about, but couldn't agree more with the other statements in this thread, in my opinion, it's too little too late, had it have been before the advent of whatsapp and the like, perhaps it may have been relevant. But now, a service like bbm holds no weight when there's already a few, well established multi-platform services that do the same thing.

Has anyone replaced the Android ROM with W8.1 Successfully? If so where would we find the W 8.1 ROM.
There hasn't been any progress with this yet as it calls for a person to literally open their phone and dump the entire os and then more than likely adjust the partitions and such for the regular m8s. There's already a few threads on this subject with this information in them. If we do see any type of port it will probably be a while before we see anything from it.
I'm excited. I hope the devs are successful.

Simple. I'd like to try it out, without having to commit.

My thoughts exactly, I have only ever played with WP in the store and that doesn't give you a feel of what every day life with the OS would be like.
Definitely would love to give it a shot

I used to have a 928 and I loved it... I used to switch between my HD maxx and that all the time it would be cool to swap back and forth on the same phone

Windows phones and Blackberries (older ones, don't know about newer ones nor do I know about iPhones) have working, functional, usable email clients which, so far, has totally eluded Android. Email is important to me, not enough to give up my Android phone but maybe to some it is?
There may be other reasons but for some people having a working email app is huge!
Android email apps fall into two classifications:
1. Totally Sucks and
2. Worse than Totally Sucks.
NOTE: All the above applies to POP3, IMAP works OK on any phone but that's due to the nature of IMAP, not to the email client.
