Xam Player inspired by zune (WIP) - Android Apps and Games

XAM will be a open source android media player. It will be the end all media players of android media players. It will provide music playing and library organization via subsonic integration, video playback via mplayer integration, and podcast subscription via developed code.
XAM is inspired directly by the Zune player interface, learning from both the successes and failures of said interface.
XAM's goal is to provide a simple and error free interface that is both functional and beautiful. Also to provide customizability of both the full client and individual features in the premade client.
Here is an example of our current concept interface.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Our teams goal is for XAM 1.0 to be released by January 2012 with all the main functions integrated and ready for usage.

Looks nice. But I can't stand seeing previews for things I won't see for almost a year :-\

2012....

Oh right. Gotta get your app up before the world ends.

Oh, that's more like it.

Bring it on!!! I gave up my Zune when I got my EVO. No need to carry the extra device. But, I really miss the UI. This looks great.

Don't forget about equalizers and ID3 tag editing support.

any update on a beta yet? very curious, giving up my (broken) zune and switching to android full time. want to see how you handle podcasts, that's the one thing i haven't found that works anywhere close to the zune. they're always clunky manual operations.

Any news on this?

Cyanogenmod 9 Music Player Available Now

SOURCE : Kickedface
Fans of custom ROMs may already know that there’s a rewritten version of the standard Android music app coming to CyanogenMod 9. Well, the wait’s over, and you can download an alpha version of “Apollo” now.
Click here for the APK file – you don’t even have to be rooted, just install it via the standard non-Market method. Unfortunately, you still need an ICS device to use it. Source : Android Central

Apollo takes quite a lot of inspiration from Google Music, though there’s currently no way to actually access your music stored in the cloud. The interface has a lot in common with Google’s own player, though the color scheme is an off white.
Theme support is planned for the project. At present there’s not a whole lot that Apollo can do that even older versions of the default music player can’t, with the notable exception of a built-in equalizer.
One of the more glaring omissions is the lack of a landscape mode, a big disappointment to anyone who listens to music while their phone is in a car dock. Even so, it should be a solid alternative when it’s finished – lockscreen controls are already enabled, I will suggest you to give it a try if you’re looking for something a little different in your music player.
I hope that still the issues get sorted out soon.
There are already many things that need to change and the more I use it, the longer the list becomes.
Nice alternative to the stock music player, it's "recently added" tracks view is a nice feature when you're adding tons of music a day ^_^
I can't get it to work via AVRCP and the bluetooth in my car, but that may be a ROM limitation because no other app will work either >_>
Why don't they support Android 2.3 like Google play music :/

My bad just saw it on the site after I posted this comment already.
Really excited about the app finally some real super app for music: D
I used it for a couple months before it was rebranded Apollo, the dev never updated it, and it was buggy as hell. Now they took away the holo blue theme? Probably so they can release it as a paid add-on. FAIL. There are half a dozen better music apps than this.
Thanks for your sharing..

Official Music Player 'Apollo' Arrives On Play Store »

In 2012, Apollo became the official music app for CyanogenMod. It was beautiful, functional, and completely customizable, as you might expect from the world's most popular ROM. Today, Apollo is available on the Play Store.
The player comes in two flavors: regular, and +. Apollo+ removes ads and offers quicker updates for a mere $0.99. On the subject of future updates, there are a number of features that are promised to come soon, including tablet support, concert info, customizable widgets and notifications, and Google Dream support. For those wondering, gapless playback isn't a planned feature, it's a current one. Go to the source site and get the download links..
You can grab either the free Apollo or the $0.99 Apollo+ via the widgets below. If you're running CyanogenMod, the player probably came bundled as a stock app. If you want to install this one for whatever reason, you may need to disable the stock app in Settings, or live with two identical icons in your drawer.
I don't think Apollo+ is the same as Apollo in Cyanogenmod: according to the Play Store it works on Android 2.3 and has a different package id at least. I think CM users deserve Apollo+.

[EMU] ResidualVM

Found this on another site (SOURCE - droidgamers) and thought would share. No onscreen controls as uses hardware keys (early port's). have not got time to test at mo but if the Xperia Play Keys dont work straight off you can remap unworking buttons with Gamekeyboard.

ResidualVM is another emulator that is a cross-platform 3D interpreter which allows you to play LucasArts' Lua-based 3D adventures games and has had a team working on it for awhile now. As with all things relating to emulators, the inevitable question arises about an Android version. Well it seems some users over on the ResidualVM forums have taken it upon themselves to unofficially port the emulator over in the hopes that the ResidualVM team picks it up and makes an official version from it. However, the unofficial version works very well and you can grab it and play a little Grim Fandango on your Android device if you're up for it.
Of course this is still a work in progress and there happens to be no overlay with on-screen controls that you can use to play the game. The solution to this is to either use a physical controller or an application like Game Keyboard to have a custom overlay that you can use to play the game. You will also need a fairly high-end Android device to run everything as full speed. Our tipster has it running nice and smooth on a Samsung Galaxy S II so you don't need a bleeding edge Android device to run it well, just a decent high-end one at least.
If the current coder of the unofficial Android version decided to merge his port with the code base of the ResidualVM team's version, we could see an official version of ResidualVM not too long from now. Until that happens though, we have an unofficial version to toy around with. Of course if you aren't technically inclined when it comes to emulators, especially those that are a work in progress, you might want to wait on grabbing this one. If you're up for mucking around with this unofficial version, and playing a little Grim Fandango, hit up the official forums below and on page 4 and 5 of the thread there are links to the different ports.

Glad to hear that, I currently only own a couple of phones, so I haven't had the opportunity to test on a tablet - so thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. One of my current priorities is to provide a better layout for tablets (no promises), the current one is pretty much only optimized for phones. If there is any setting, or feature you would like to see implemented or improved, feel free to suggest it.
I'm on a 7 inch tablet so not much bigger then a s4 or note...I think the layout is fine for my screen size...Also I will leave feedback on the play store later after work

Sadly *.ts not recognized as media type, so I'm unable to play it via VLC. Is it possible to add this? I'm also missing a dark theme.
/edit
Looked into your sources, and I think this should do the job:
Code:
sMimeTypeMap.loadEntry("video/mpeg", "ts");

I have added the following formats, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ts
Code:
sMimeTypeMap.loadEntry("video/MP2T", "ts");
sMimeTypeMap.loadEntry("video/MP2T", "mts");
sMimeTypeMap.loadEntry("video/MP2T", "m2ts");
Hopefully that will allow you to playback your content.
Works very well.
Fast Thanks you for sharing it free with source.
good, but
Thnaks for a good sample of Simple is Best.
but, can you add auto-repeat feature ?
It's a must func for easy-listner/viewer of many short music/video clips.

[4.4+][Apps] I made this new HD Wallpaper App

I always had this thing to learn app development specially for Android.
So one fine day I decided. Sat Down. Opened up my laptop and started learning or reading on whatever I could get my hands on. I started making some basic Java Apps and then later shifted my focus on Android Studio.
One month down the line, I started making my own app and yesterday I launched it.
Now remember for a wallpaper app, update wallpapers weekly or daily if possible, upload only those images which can be used publicly or do not have any kind of rights or licensing.
Make sure you have eye-catching wallpapers.
I have made the backend in PHP MySQL.
You can check this out.
Best HD Wallpapers App - Apps on Google Play
Though I have not started earning from this app, obviously.
But I will try my level best to market it as much as I can.
Do download it and give me a feedback if possible.
Cheers!:fingers-crossed:
