Other options than Google Music??? - Android Apps and Games

My SDCARD got fried awhile back and I'm looking for another streaming alternative. You guys have any recommendations?
My friend has Zumocast on his Bionic which rules, but I have a fascinate. Any ideas?

You could use Audiogalaxy to stream from your own PC ... works awesomely (real word?)
Personally, I love Google Music =)
Best music player out, period. (especially the newest ICS leaked version... she's a looker).

I've been dying to try and get the ICS version to work. Normally, I will have to open Google music one time. Close it. Open again and it ask about my email yada yada and all my music pops up. ICS version just acts as if it's a stock normal music player
EDIT: I am a huge idiot. My sync was turned off. Its working now. This looks 100x's better than the older 3.0 version. Thanks man.

[APP] HTC Sense Music Player

Okay so the new mytouch 3g fender edition has the HTC music player from sense UI and is running on 1.6. Question I have is will we be able to port that apk or that version onto the Nexus one. I wouldnt mind Sense UI on my N1 but until then I would love the HTC music player from my old hero.

It would probably be pixelated.
I would REALLY like to see someone try and port it. The stock music player is junk. I always loved the one in Sense.
Try Nemo Player from the Acer one.
Mixzing music player is a step above the stock one. It comes with 2 music Widgets, which are both quite attractive. I like the 4x4 one better than the sense widget actually.

Agreed. The best Music/Video player out there. Modaco has the latest 0.96.1 release of it.

I don't see this in the Acer Forum on Modaco?
Also wil it work straight out of the box, so to speak?

Any chance of a standalone release?
At modaco, it's in the liquid area. Somebody posted the apk in the thread of the new leaked Ron.

I don't see why everyone likes Nemo so much. The buttons are smaller than the stock music player. It also picks up every single audio file I have, including all my ringtones I created, the stock one does not.
I do love the sense music app, because of the fact you can pretty much switch songs without looking at the screen. That is one of the major fallbacks of this stock music player. Swipe to skip or previous. As well as an EQ.
Sure the nemo player looks good when it comes to UI, but it has needless features (the picture gallery and ability to take photo's) which just makes me dislike it further.
If the Nemo Music player UI incorporated some useful features it might have been better, but it performs exactly the same as the stock player. I haven't found anything that makes it better, so... what makes it better?

I don't really see all the fuss. Other than a better colour scheme it doesn't really seem any better for me than the built in music app and actually lags a bit with the number of tracks I have which is much less pronounced on the standard app
Agreed, I honestly would like to see the HTC music player from Hero, that was perfect, it ran slow on the G1, but it would fly on this phone, and IMHO, that was the best player to date. It had the swipe right in the middle of the screen, which is VERY easy when driving, nice UI, and (maybe only possible w.hero) action buttons on the lock screen tied with it (amazing).
Now could someone please port THAT player? I would pay if someone could do that.
Thats one the best features I miss is the lock screen options on that HTC music player. I use my phone in the gym and Im not always trying to use pandora so it would be worth paying for to have that HTC music player back especially with that feature to use it on the lock screen. The Sense music player is as close to the ipod type that I have seen. Really lets face it I just want a little more sense UI mixed with 2.1 but the music player could probably hold me over. I will admit i am former hero user who jumped to the nexus one but no regrets. I just cant wait until there is a sense ui/2.1 rom out. I would pay money for that.
App ripped, but not fully working.
In the Acer liquid section in Modaco, someone had posted a Sense UI rom for the liquid. I was able to extract the sense music player Apk, and although it ran, it would force close immediately after opening (graphics were fine, not pixelated). I tried copying over some additional files related to the app, but still no joy. Since I don't have the installer and lack expertise, it's going to be tough to figure it out on my own I think. Anyone have any ideas? BTW, I ripped it from the liquid rom to ensure that the resolutions were comparable.

Install Droid Explorer and hook it up to your PC and use LogCat to see what errors it gives, will give an idea of where to start, at least.
Well, i found a way to run htc music player on the N1. Unfortunatly it doesn't work properly
It can play all songs stored on the Sdcard but it's unable to select a playlist or selected songs.
Whatever it's a first step and maybe someone can port this app fully working on this device.
If some of you are interested by this, i can share the zip file.

Listen to my zune collection on my evo?

one thing I love about my 360 is that it will stream music from my pc. Is there an app for android that will allow me to do this on my evo?
Thanks advance

I really wish there was a zune app for android as well that let me stream/use my zune collection however since it is microsoft owned and run i highly doubt we will ever see it. May have to switch to rhapsody soon and stop streaming from mp3 for the ability to stream from phone (mp3 player has a lot more music to choose from so I think it would be much more worth while to have the streaming capability on the device with less music)
any way if you find a 3rd party app or some way to do this please post it
I would recommend Subsonic(subsonic.org). It would need a dedicated computer to run on and host your music files, but you would then be able to stream your entire music library anywhere that you have an internet connection.
It does have some quirks but for the most part its pretty awesome. It even comes with an android app but you will have to 'donate' to use it.
Edit: Guess I should mention that you wouldn't be able to play protected files, and afik you would never be able to unless MS released a Zune pass for linux(which most likely will never happen).
you could try rdio its pretty awesome, works pretty much just like a zune pass except you can use it on iphones, android phones, and your computer. i use it with the evo and its pretty sweet. i dropped my zune pass subscription for it, although i do miss ripping the drm out of the the zune pass music i used to download lol

lol Same on drm. I will have to take a look at it. the main reason i have a zune pass is i have a zune MP3 player which doesnt support streaming from things like subsonic etc. I love the smart dj feature on it letting it find new music for me but i find myself leaving it at home and just using the 100 or so songs i have on my phone more and more. Will let you know what i think thanks for the input
Yeah rdio has a smart DJ thing too. They call it artist radio. Its a little hardbto find in app right bow but the app devs really listen to their customers will actually make it much easier to use artist radio in next release. App is updated pretty regularly.
edit: they actually just updated the app now to use the artist radio you can just long press on an artist in your collection
this app just gets better and better

Gmote works well for streaming my mp3s from my home pc to my EVO. It can stream over 3g/4g or via wifi (but only on your home network. I haven't found a way to stream remotely with wifi).
Homepipe works pretty well as both a FTP client and mp3 streamer.
I am using Subsonic now because it streams over 3g/4g and wifi seamlessly. The only problem I am having with it is that after I installed the hosting software on my home PC my browser got hijacked to redirect to the subsonic log-in but the address is always "ad.doubleclick" or some other ad-type place. I am trying to figure it out.
EDIT: Updated my Hosts file and switched to a less obvious port and all is golden now. Subsonic is now my fave music app!
EDIT 2:I've discovered that Subsonic copies the music files to your SD card. Not a problem if I just remember to clean up every once in a while.

Streaming .avi files (and most other media files) from Dropbox [App and workaround]

Hello my fellow HTC sensation users, I ran across a post the other day with someone posting about the same issue of trying to view a movie from my dropbox and they couldnt figure it out. It took me a while, but I think I might have it!
Make sure you have dropbox... also I have not tried this with other cloud storage apps.. ie google drive and box
Go to the play store and download these two:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...explorer&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...te.cloud&hl=en
.
Sign in on the Dropbox client in the Anttek (or which ever one you use. It should be on the top left of the application: click on device, select cloud , and then your respective device.)
Also, make sure that you have a video player, I recommend something other than the stock player.
From there pick the file and play!
I tested it with Mx Player, Mobo Player, and VLC Beta player. Worked on all of them perfectly,
My rom when I first tested this was Virtuous Eclipse, Android 4.03, HTC Sense 4.0. Worked great
and now I am using Cm9 RC1... no issues either!
I hope this works!! Good Luck my fellow Android users!
Happy flashing, modding, and posting

Is their a music app that doesn't suck? I've tried everything!

I have searched the forums, searched google and God know's where yet I haven't found one single music app I like. I liked the sense music player that came with the phone but I don't like using the default launcher and their isn't any widgets for it for other launchers.
And now I am on the paranoid android rom so I can't use that no more. I like Apollo for it's UI but it lacks many features. And I don't like PowerAmp. It has features, but to many for me. I am literary over whelmed of the features. I just want a nice UI and and a few nice features.
I'd also like an app that supports the HTC one x's nice HD screen.
By the way here's the ever growing list of music apps I've tried and don't like for some reason or another.
Google Play Music, Apollo, PowerAmp, WinAmp, UberMusic, DoubleTwist and SongBird.
At this point I'd pay for a music app.
The only things I want are a good UI that isn't ugly and an album art grabber (for downloaded tracks with none) and of course it has to have a widget (which even all I've listed has had one so I'm sure that's standard.)
And it'd be nice if it had a coverflow effect. The effect from google play music is nice but this isn't a required thing for me.

I've personally been using Doubletwist since I switched to Android from iphone and it's mostly been fine, just took a bit of getting used to but I think that's more about coming from iphone than anything that's wrong with Doubletwist. What didn't you like about it? If you buy the paid version it let's you download album art, and various other airsync features etc.
What exactly are you searching for?
I found this one music player.. very unique especially for people with hearing loss.
It goes through a process giving off beeps in your ears going left and right, then equalizes your acute hearing to perfectly fit your hearing. Its definitely ingenious as it helps me a lot, my right ear is kinda going out.
App - Soundbest Music player.
The widget is so so and the UI is simple but sucks.
3rd party Equalizers will help the music player as well..
At the moment I use Google Play for JB and SRS Panel with an Audio Mod. Yes I don't own a One x, I own a Droid incredible but I understand your pain of wanting the best music player. I've honestly searched up and down and really haven't found the best one. Poweramp is highly overrated, the equalizer and effects are terrible.
The only other app I've liked besides Soundbest is Neutron but even then the UI is a monster.. the widget is again so-so. But the effects and equalizer is unmatched.. perfect for a audiophile. I recent was using Semc Music player "Sony Walkman" but.. without a widget its almost useless plus it didn't active the equalizer on the fly.
The only ones I suggest trying are Soundbest and Neutron.

I've always really liked Playerpro. Well worth the few bucks, and I've tried everything out there as well.
Try xbmc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28757772 it looks great on htc one x, but it has few errors but looks greattt
From beast called HTC One X
If I didn't pay for power amp I would use Sony Walkman app

Thanks guys! Just tried it out and it seems to be what I've been looking for. I am not a fan of how the buttons (play, skip, etc) look blurry on my HOX.
Going to try all the others now to see if their is something better.

I really didn't like the UI mainly. I, myself came from an iPhone so I have heard about that when I was googling "how to sync music between iTunes and htc one x).
It's okay but I don't like music apps that put the album art and controls in a "drawer". Song bird does this too. I hate that :/
PlayerPro is my player of choice.
+1 for Playerpro. Plenty of skins available for it. Make sure you install the free DSP Pack too as it drastically improves the EQ :good:
I use the paid version of Poweramp and don't see what's not to like about it.

If you use player pro at least design your own skin.

I downloaded the apk from the internet(cant remember where) but it works on every ROM, so when switching between I can use it on all them lol
I would recommend you try Mixzing ( kinda like PowerAmp )
if you want nice UI with good amount of functionality I would recommend N7player
Here is the Google play link

Music Apps for Note 4?

Hello,
I will be getting the Note 4 soon which should be running kitkat on it, I'm hoping someone could recommend some good music apps to use on it, as one of the reasons I'm getting the note 4 is to play all the MP3s I have. I'll take recommends on both free and paid apps and not looking for anything fancy. Just something that shuffles all the music I'll load up on it.
Thanks for any help.
Why not use the stock one that comes with it? I have not had any issues with it.

I wasn't sure if there were better apps than the stock one. I haven't gotten a chance to test it out yet.
I personally very much like N7Player. Has a very good equalizer and plenty of options. (The UI might be a bit confusing at first for some.)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer (Free timed trial, after that you'll need to purchase the unlocker).
thanks for the recommend, I'll look into the app.
Hype machine
Rocketplayer
Flipbeats
hotspoters
PlayerPro
this is the hot player as i thought .
the one that i used is musixmatch
is a good app for music it comes with lyrics
Spotify music stream, musixmatch if you want floating lyrics..
