Changelog:
Beta 2
-Added all the translations submitted to the UberMusic translation project. If any of the translations in your language seems wrong, feel free to head over to the project page and submit better translations (if someone already submitted a better translation, you can help by upranking the best translation).
-Added gestures for switching songs in the "Now Playing" screen. Swipe from right to left to go to the next track, and from left to right to go to the previous track.
-Added an option in the settings to choose and apply a skin. Skins can be installed through the Android market once skin developers start publishing them there. If you would like to make skins for UberMusic, please read the UberMusic Skin Creation Manual
-Fixed the Last.fm scrobbling through the official app that got broken in Beta 1
-Fixed a force close issue when opening folders with apostrophes in the path.
Beta 1
Note: The user interface is now driven by the new skinning engine. I'll be releasing all the details on how to make skins as soon as I'm finished writing them (will take some time). I think this app has the most powerful skinning engine on the market right now.
The official/default skin drops the WP7 look, but the skinning engine is flexible enough that it can be made to look exactly like the previous Alpha versions through skins. If you want the WP7 look back, you'll have to wait until someone releases a skin for it (which I'm sure won't take long once the details on how to make skins are released). The Beta versions have a different package name than the Alphas, so they can coexist in your device (you can install the Beta without overwriting the Alpha).
Also, I've started a Crowdin.net (collaborative transaltion) project for UberMusic. So if you'd like to see UberMusic translated in your language, feel free to head over to the project page and submit translations/corrections or vote for the best translations.
-Changed the disable lockscreen option so that it only disables the lockscreen when something is playing. It should also work even if you leave the Now Playing screen, but it's not failproof.
-Changed the layout of the Now Playing screen on LDPI devices so that scrolling isn't necessary.
-Improved the track seeking functionality of the progress indicator. You can now click anywhere on the indicator to seek to that position.
Alpha 7:
-Fixed the force-close when opening the Recently Added playlist.
-Fixed the trash can appearing on the Album screen.
Alpha 6:
-Playlists can now be edited through the app. Open a playlist and press Menu > Edit. Use the handles (up/down arrows) to drag/move songs. Drag them to the trash can to remove them from the playlist.
-The widget's Play button should now work even if the queue is empty.
-Added a menu item on the Now Playing screen to go to Settings.
-Added an option to disable the lockscreen while on the Now Playing screen.
-You can now choose to scrobble through the official Last.fm app, through ScrobbleDroid / SLS, or disable it entirely.
-Fixed some problems in the shuffling code that were causing force closes.

Nope... it's a WP7 Music app for Android. It looks so realistic that it's easy to get it confused with the real thing
Status bar is where you'll notice that it's not genuine WP7.
EDIT: after talking with Fede, I realised that this post should not be here, UberMusic's going to become a paid app very soon. Someone please remove it.
This application is incredible!
Can't wait for it to be out of beta!
ew...stupid name, UberMusic? The app itself is amazing, the name...ugh.

If you go into settings and check the custom status bar box you get a distinctly more wp7 look.

Amazing app!
UberMusic, Alpha 7, is already my default player. The "lock screen" feature has definitely won me over!
Fede, I have only one more request: a feature to disable or customize the automatic artist background. I assume this is done through Google Images. I listen to classical music and the "auto pic" is amazingly precise. But sometimes it fails and this kind of bothers me. I prefer no background at all to a wrong one.
This app is a real winner

Fede chose UberMusic as the name because in urban dictionary, it means,
"The ultimate, above all, the best, top, something that nothing is better than."

On Alpha 5 and 6 i had problems where it kept force closing when i tried to select an album. hope it works better in alpha 7. mind you i still ready have this as my main player now.
I was wondering why Fede picked UberMusic. sounds really odd!
Wow, thanks man! Awesome player.
I think that i am just having brain problems but ...
How do you select random and repeat in this app ... other than that it looks and behaves great ...
EDIT: Sorted now.
Uber definition might be good, but what's the good if people don't know what it means and they dislike it, For Windows Phone 7 Inspired music app UberMusic is the worst name you can go with, i'm sorry i just hate the name.

Great! Enjoy You're welcome to help and spread the word.
Downloading it now.. it looks beautiful .. awesome work man
aaah, dang... I thought this was a WIDGET...
If the carousel remained on my home screen and allowed me to swipe up/down to go from apps to games to fav people, etc... I'd pay quite a bit for it...
ALSO!! Here is a good idea...
Why not make it so that the crousel automatically adjusts for the number of shortcuts assigned to it?
I/E: instead of adding 4 shortcuts and getting those and 12 "Stars"... just have the 4 shortcuts showing; evenly spaced.
To support development; i purchased the full version!

You don't have to take any special action. This is how the application looks like. If something looks different, there's probably some issue with OpenGL on your phone.
Try playing with the background and transparency settings (Menu -> Settings)
Try completely transparent and opaque backgrounds and see if it helps.
If you're still having issues, e-mail me, Let me know what phone and what Android version you're using, and I'll check if there's anything I can do.
This is great stuff LiorG, though when opening the settings menu I can't seem to interact with it sometimes, and the times I can I have to wait a good few minutes beforehand. Other than that it's sweet!

The application should look like in the screen capture "out of the box", no need to do anything special.
What version of Android are you using? What ROM? What phone?

The settings menu is the standard Android settings menu (PreferenceScreen). No special code there. You shouldn't have any problems with it.

Make sure that all your contacts have a default number assigned to them. A default number is denoted by a small check-mark next to the number.
To assign one, open your phone's contact app, and view the desired contact, long-press a number and select "Make default number".
This happened automatically up to Android 1.6, but starting Android 2.0 it doesn't.
In the next update I will improve contact selection, and it won't count on the default number anymore.
WidgetLocker is a paid app, this thread is to be used for support. Also feel free to email me.
I'm the developer of WidgetLocker, which is a lockscreen replacement with emphasis on customization. Primarily by allowing you to place standard Android widgets (or shortcuts) on the lockscreen. It allows you to drag-and-drop similar to how the home screen works. It also includes Custom Sliders, which allow you to add extra sliders to the lockscreen for whatever you want. There's built in actions for things like silence/vibrate, brightness, quick camera mode, dialer. But you can also use any shortcut, such as direct dial or any application on your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Additional FAQs:
When will the next update be released?
Sorry, I cannot give ETAs. Updates take a lot of time and I try to squeeze a lot into an update. Please be patient.
I'm having a really weird problem?
Can you send a bug report via Settings > Report Bug so I have some more information? (And please briefly restate the problem to remind me what the report is in regard to).
FYI those problems I contacted you about earlier are no longer. Don't know what it was, but it works wonderfully. Great app!
Yep, WidgetLocker rules, FlyScreen drools. It works really great, and it's fast and always there. No more built-in lock before the lock screen, no more home/back/notification goes past it, etc..
Did a good job on this one, look forward to what's coming.

A version for us who can't pay would be cool

Im interested in buying this for my Legend to solve a problem.
Basically I love spotify but its main shortcoming is it doesnt have lockscreen controls.
Ive looked all over for some kind of hold down volume +- to change current media track but no joy.
Would it be possible to have some kind of overall media controls to add as a widget? What I mean is if anything is using the media output (could be any program) then skipping forward and back would work on whatever it is thats playing but not in focus.
There must be a way to do this ;(

I assume you are in a country that allows paid apps?
And are running Android 2.1 or 2.2?
If those are both true then what phone are you on? I can't think of any other reason WidgetLocker wouldn't be visible. It does not employe the "copy protection" that sometimes blocks market visibility.
i heard people on the 2.2 roms ... leaked and beta versions sometimes have issues seeing apps in the market

Using ADW here, and the ONLY time I see lag is when ADW has clearly gotten killed for whatever reason. Otherwise it comes up immediately.

I believe this is only when the app has the copy-protection option enabled on the market. I don't have that enabled for WidgetLocker (mainly because I want it visible to people on leaked roms)

iTouch24 and I identified the LauncherPro problem as an animation being run by LauncherPro whenever it is activated (and the animation is still run even if it's suppossed to be disabled. It just runs much faster.). I'm going to talk to Fredrico about seeing if WidgetLocker can bypass this animation and also suggest he add options to disable them in general as not all users want them. Also note that this LauncherPro delay is very minor (the length of a quick animation), not a serious lag issue.

Aha, 'splains that then. I haven't really used LauncherPro since trying ADW
I just found this app today after hearing about it on the last Android Atlas podcast. I love it as is but what I'm truly looking for is a pattern-based lock screen where the pattern points are invisible.
I love being able to customize my lock screen with all of the options that you have included with this app. But nothing would please me more than being able to to away with the slider all together in lieu a pattern lock where the points of contact are not seen.
I would love the added security while maintaining the aesthetics of the unlock screen options that you have included. Perhaps something to consider in any potential updates. Either way your app is quite nice.
sorta off topic but any of you guys have a suggestion for a missed call widget?
keep up the great work!

Thank you very much for this amazing application.
I use launcherpro and the live wallpaper don't work really good with.
Can you add in alternative wallpaper, an option to choose live wallpaper???
It's will be great if we can used LW ownskined.
Hi,
I have released today a live wallpaper that will show your album covers as 3D tiles. The covers will react when the finger is above them, there are some settings to customize dimming, color tint, cover size, ...
The application is available as a free demo which is fully functional except that it will only pick 5 albums from your music collection.
There also is an unlocker application (not free) that will allow showing all your album covers at a time instead of just the same 5.

Hi, just to know whether there really is no interest in such a wallpaper (in which case I would just give up on new features).
If any one is interested in testing the full version, I will gift the full APK to the first 10 reviewers of the demo version (no need to post a positive feedback, just post your own true feeling about the app).
Yea I would like to I'm mostly curious wether it works with streamed music from google music. Either way ill give it a go!

hi, the wallpaper fetches the covers from the android's internal media database. I have no idea whether Google Music writes the covers there (I doubt it). Please tell me when you have tried it.
Anyone else interested in testing the wallpaper? I'll send the full unlocker APK for free to the first 10 willing to give me their feedback here.
Or maybe some additional feature ideas to make it more interesting.
The application has been updated to version 1.1 to fix a bug on some custom ROMs and to reduce the package size.

force close on lg optimus 2x running stock gingerbread 2.3.4
Unfortunately I cant test it but i can look into the settings. You could maybe add transition options like fading (fading speed, fading color ..) or make the album arts be like flipping tiles when changing (wp7 style, kinda..)
cheers
Interested
I'm willing to try it out. I'm curious about one thing. Will it automatically update itself once we change album arts of songs using tag editor apps? Or will even changing others details and tags affect it?

I would be interested in testing on the Asus Transformer Prime running Tegra 3. That is of course, if this is also made for tablets. Cheers
Nevermind...the way I download my music doesn't have cover art, so this wallpaper will do me no good. But it does run great on my tablet with the ONE album cover I do have.
Nice!
My review:
This is a really cool live wallpaper. Runs a bit slow on my Droid X with CM7.2 RC, but I'm sure it would work great on faster phones. A feature that you could add would be an automatic album cover change every so often (let the user pick how long), and maybe also support to pick your own album covers. Cool LW though!
I'll try it if you're still giving the keys out. Got a Nexus S running 4.0.4

The wallpaper caches the albums when it is launched. So if the wallpaper is never killed by the Android system, no, you won't see changes. However, as a general observation I could notice that the wallpaper service is getting closed and restarted pretty often.
I will however try to cover that use case, for example each time the media scanner is called.
Thanks for the feedback!

Out of curiosity, how many albums do you have in your library (approx.)? Which was the size setting (small/medium/large)?
The albums should already be switching every now and then (this is random but not configurable, I will make it adjustable).
And about picking the album covers, there are already great apps to do that job, so I prefer to leave it to them instead of making something not as great as they do.

Force closes on Nook Color running ICS
New version released
Hi,
I have implemented new features in response to your comments. Here is the change log for version 2.0:
+ Animation for tile addition/removal is now customizable (for now, can be set to zoom or fade, more to come soon)
+ You can make the tiles fade out with time
+ You can customize the life time of a cover (how often they get swapped for another one)
+ Added better crash reporting (uses the ACRA library)

Hey guys,
I want to show you my first app "Exquisite Drawer" which I have just released to Play Store.
You can get it right here:
Lite Version: Exquisite Drawer Lite
Pro Version: Exquisite Drawer Pro
You want to know which changes made it recently to the app?
Here you go. Changelog in Post #2
This app I wanna share with you is a replacement for your standard App Drawer.
Now you might think:
"What the heck? Nobody needs this since every phone has already an App Drawer"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And you are right. But then. Go into your apps and look......
Does it look good? Really?
I don't think so. And this is the reason why I created Exquisite Drawer.
What is different with this app? Why would you want to download?
That's a good question. To answer this let me show you some screenshots:
From these Images you can get a lot of information what the app is able to do but I will list the main features here:
- Change Colors of Text and Background individually (so there is no dependency on other elements)
- Enable or Disable sertain UI Elements for your liking (such as Actionbar or Titlestrip)
- Change Textsizes
- Use system or inbuilt font
Also you have the ability to display two different images within Exquisite Drawer.
One on top of the Applist and the other below.
So every time you want to launch an app you will see your favourite image.
The best thing about this is that those images do not affect your workflow since they scroll out of view.
Another exciting Feature is the inbuilt Theme-Switcher. For now there are 6 different designs which can be applied by only one click. At the end of this Post you will see them all.
What else to mention?
The lite version is a stripped down version of the app.
But you get a bunch of features over there too:
- Theme Chooser
- Change background color of Titlestrip
- Change fontsize of Titlestrip
- Hide Applicationicons
- Hide Actionbar
- Enable/disable Headerimage and/or Footerimage
- Choose a custom picture
- Choose side of Navigationdrawer
What are the pro only features?
- Use a custom Font from your sd-card
- Change background and font color of Actionbar, Applist, Navigationdrawer
- Change Textsize of Applist and Navigationdrawer
- Disable various Itemdividers
When I say you can change the color you propably thing about a list of predefined Colors which you can choose from.
But this is not the truth.
Infact you can choose any color you can imagine.
This screenshot shows the Colorpicker:
The same for Fontsizechanger which can be choosen incrementally.
So this was a quite long post. And when you reach this point I wanna thank you. Now there are only some Images to come. At first you will see the whole bunch of settings which are available and after that you will see all of the available Designs.
I hope you like it.

Thank you very much
ok having to write this all again cause it failed previously and message disappeared
anyways i wasn't really expecting anything special when i came here but was curious to see what it was about. so i decided to take it for a quick test drive and i must say im pretty impressed. even considering that it was just a lite version an all lol
the theme options are pretty cool even on their own. (pro allows more color/customizing of course). i was digging the simplistic black n white look too! also like the long hold app option that allows you to go pro, launch app, show app in play store and uninstall app. nice job there!! although i was slightly curious why purple rain & black n white theme didn't have these options?
overall was working smooth, don't remember coming across any bugs which is very good!! couldn't test battery life cause only used for a short period but im pretty sure it wouldn't have affected it much!
well want to say, keep doing what your doing dev! thumbs up from me!! :good:

Great app, keep up on the designs.
Really promising I like to keep my device nice and minimal looking and this does the trick nicely. Cant use it as my default just yet as I rely on custom groups and categories to organise my millions of apps. But it looks like thats on your to do list so keep up the good work. I'll be sure to keep checking back!

The mentioned two themes are in the new Update which I has released just this moment.
Hope you like it
What a fantastic app! Have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say it is awesome and I've already purchased the pro version. Well worth $1.30. I would've paid twice that. Very functional and visually impressive. Can't wait to see where the development goes in the future. Great, great job!

Icon Packs
Will there be support for icon packs?

This is definitively on my To Do list. But I actually don't know when it will be available. The next thing I am working on is to improve the overall performance and loading process. When this is ready for primetime I will implement new features such as:
- custom Categories
- hiding Apps (with a special feature )
- Exporting and Importing Designs
- Iconpack support
and many other things.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Also to everybody:
If you feel that anything is missing just write me. Also when you think that some strings should be improved just say something and I will look into it.
Really great. Thanks

Is there any way to make this the default drawer from the home screen when you push the app drawer button? Would quite like to give it a try with the Google Now launcher.

Hi all and welcome to a new era, nowadays with Google's fantastic platform updates, an increasing amount of applications and launcher are being released. All offering different and unique features. But this launcher however stands out amongst most of them. Why do I say this? Give this launcher a try and you will most likely get your answer straight away. This launcher has a cutting edge interface, all inspired by the formerly known application "Google Search/Google Now" of course we have to credit Google for this experience and they deserve the applaud, because the app is simply amazing.

You can skip this part if you wish, unless you want to know how this launcher came about. So one night (about a month ago). I was tired and went to my room to sleep, all snug and warmed up in bed, this is usually the time when random ideas and concepts flow through my mind. One of these concepts was to design a Launcher that looked like Google's design scheme. I thought this would be a great way to learn about Android development and make my idea into reality. So I quickly noted this idea down, a week passed by and I stumbled upon the note and I wondered a bit. And after a deep thought about this, I hopped on my computer and whipped up some magic in 2 weeks. It's now been three weeks (This will differ in future, since I doubt I'll be updating this story). And I felt like releasing this new Launcher because I want opinions from you guys on how I can make this Launcher work and function. So I present to all, Active Launcher!

Click to collapse
I am open to feature and other suggestions, I have just started the project, I hope you all like it.
Thanks for using Active Launcher, this launcher will not be released to the Play Store for now, as there is still quite a bit to work on.
Also Active Launcher will be available on older Android devices in future releases.

@mobihack I am planning to release it for ICS and above, though I don't know exactly when I will do this but it will be done in a few future releases.
Sorry that you cannot test it out, just hold on tight.
Ok man
Looking good so far,
but as you said some apps doesn't open, for example evolve sms for messaging.
And i have some strange really big icons in the app drawer.
Would you mind to open a google+ page for this launcher?

Thanks, and yeah some apps will not open, because the default messaging apps are set.
In future releases I will add a feature where the user can select which app to run.
And as for the app drawer, yeah some icons are random and big.
This is slightly difficult as I'm going to completely ditch that app drawer and implement a different one.
Here, I just created the Google+ page.

Great concept even though not really usable yet. Looking forward to future updates :good:
@Jamin_1 Thanks for trying Active Launcher. Hopefully this Launcher works out in the future. As for now it's still in Beta and there is currently allot of things to work on. As you stated it definitely isn't made for daily use. But this gives the users a taste of what's coming ahead .

You're right.
Thank you so much for your hard work and the early release :good: Your launcher attracted my interest and I will keep testing it.
At last something new and up to date with Google's great UI design. It's time to say goodbye to still great, but bit old Nova and Apex.
Hope to see this project evolve in to something mature and useful as these two.
Looks interesting! I'll definitely keep an eye on this!
I'll wait out until those app drawer bugs are fixed until I try this out myself
Looks good. for a long time i have been searching for some new kind of launcher and your project is promising
Thanks guys for the support, I will surely continue this project.
Hit me up with some features that you'd like to have in this Launcher.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Hey man, this project is very exciting. I really like the concept and appearance. Great implementation of translucent statusbar. So here's my feedback:
Like the idea of system apps in app drawer. Maybe, instead of removing it completely, make it optional
Always listening feature possible? I definitely tried "Ok, Google" to my own humorous disappointment, lol.
Make app drawer button and blue part under it auto hide and have ability to pull it up just like notification tray is pulled down.
Maybe instead of just cards for each app, there could be multiple "card screens" or homescreens that each house cards with information relevant to particular apps. For example, the Contacts app could have its own cardscreen with contact cards with options to call or text that person at the bottom of their card.
With that said, the following are more far-fetched ideas:
Make app cards launch app with just a swipe. If u could swipe immediately into certain apps, that'd be epic, dude.
Notifications, such as text messages, could come up directly in the launcher as cards ready to act upon.
Yea, so don't have as many far-fetched ideas as I thought.
Anyway, really like where this is going. Hope you continue to imaginate!!
@Justinchi thank you for your feedback! Many of your ideas had already been mentioned on the Google+ page and for the other ideas you have, they're really good. And as for the swipe feature, its possible
I will be debasing the application on a different layout as working with this single layout will mean, too much work.
