My sensation has been through various ROMs and is now happily settled on Pyramid3d 8.3.0 XE (2.3.4 GB). The only remaining thing to annoy me is something in the HTC music player. When you browse via artist, start the thing scrolling down and then grab the scroll bar on the right (to scroll faster through by alphabetic initial) it only has "#" .. and no letters. You can pull the scroll bar all the way to the bottom and it still only shows "#" and when yuo release it, it is still on the first artist. You can see the artists in there, and they all look ok. So I can't use the grab-able scroll bar and I have to manually scroll through several hundred artists to find what I want.
Works fine for albums etc, with the initial letters appearing next to the scroll bar and everything working normally. I've checked my metadata and the artists are completed correctly. I've emptied all the music (22GB or so) from my SD card and refreshed the library, then loaded it back on, and no change.
I don't think the various other stock or custom ROMs I tried had this problem, but I can't find any mention of it in the Pyramid3D thread. Anyone else seen it? Anyone have a fix?
yeah. i had that issue too. just try to rename it and remove any signs and marks from beginning of the artist or album title. use a mp3 tag editor program. i use itag. it's an android app. that should fix it.
fantastic - thank you. i had about four artists who had thoughtlessly started their names with some form of punctuation, and by renaming them it fixed it. I think [Re:Jazz] was the probable culprit - it seems like it didn't like that.
My one remaining bugbear with my phone is now gone. I am a happy man. thanks.

Hi All,
I have had my HTC Touch pro a few days and the following post is well because it bugs me.
Is it possible to scroll through your albums (not songs or playlist) in the media bit of the luvly today media scrolly type menu.
I can go to library and choose an album - then a track and scroll through up/down those and it all looks nice etc.
I can load all my songs into playlist whic is approx 1000 or so right now but they are in individual song, alhabetical order (rather clumsy) to scroll.
When in the library I choose albums or artist tab then try to go back to the today scrolly luvly screen it goes back to the album song that was chosen before.
I guess I have visions of something like Itunes albums thingy or the contacts bit on the Diamond/diamond pro.
So either way is it do-able as in I am doing something wrong or it it just not an option with this ROM.
Thanks in advance
GW
I have the same "problem" From all the tinkering I have done trying to accomplish exactly what you are trying to accomlish. I assume it is "as designed" or a bug. Either way, my hope is that someone figures out how to tweak it to work.
I am not in love with Apple but one thing they got right was the ipod music organization (in my humble opinion)
not possible.
no registry keys either to be found

Hi
Thanks for the replies. Shame about the album scroll but at least it wasnt me being a muppet for a change.
Would have been real nice to press the back button to go from album tracks back to album list.
Hey Ho, I am sure some Uber clever person will come up with something in the future.
Otherwise I think the T-Pro is significantly better than the TytnII it has replaced. There are litlle nicieties I keep finding for example you can zoom in when using the camera on its highest setting and when doing a video clip!
Thanks
Glen

I feel the same as you. I am still finding the improvements and have the faith someone will overhaul all th emusic stuff here anyway. We have just scratched the surface
Hi
Did a bit of scrutiny to the full PDF manual that it comes shipped with. On page 79 it clearly says that in the today screen - music tab you can scroll albums as well as songs in ablums?
I have sent an enquiry ticket to HTC to see if it is a print error or not.
Regards

And did you ever get a response from HTC >>
Hello everyone, I'm new to the Windows Mobile OS and had a few questions on it. I just picked up an HTC HD2 and I am LOVING this guy more and more since I found this site. I had a lot of fun customizing my iPhone, but I've been having a little trouble with my HD2. Here is what I was looking for:
1. Whenever I look into the Photos & Videos every photo and video on the device is show in the album. Is there a way to hide certain photos or folders so they don't show?
2. I have a set of videos I placed into one folder. Whenever I look into the folder, the videos all show as thumbnails. Is there a way to set it so I see the names of the videos and not the thumbs?
3. The T-MoUS version, has Transformers pre-installed. When I click Start, it has a Transformers icon that when selected, it opens a window with both movies lined up in a list type format. I found the Transformers.exe in the windows folder. Is there a way to create your own? (Kinda the same as question 2)
4. Can the "honeycomb" menu that shows when you click start, have the icons moved around freely? The only thing I've found is you hold an icon and you get the option to "Move to Top". I want to move them anywhere and not have to keep moving everything to top if I want something on the third row from the bottom.
Sorry for the long winded questions... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

PS-I tried using Search for these answers, but could not get anything.
This is a little app I developed mainly because I got tired of changing all my shortcut icons by hand every time I wanted to try something new.
It works by a folder of icons on your sdcard and matching them to installed applications by name. For example, Browser.png gets mapped to the Browser application.
This is more of a test version i'm looking fro people to find bugs and try other devices.
If you are having problems:
Please send me your log by using the button from the main menu.
Known Issues:
- Very long list of notifications.
Changes:
- 0.2:
You can now edit the title of each app.
I have included a test set of icons, Token Icons, original can be found here: http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570
Now this is cool. Gonna try it out. Only thing is certain apps I like to change the name of when I create shortcuts with BetterCut. Like changing XScope to Browser. I suppose I could do those one by one with BetterCut though.
Adding name changing would be pretty easy.
That would be awesome!
Will try this one for sure
Works really great. It's convenient. Only work involved is naming the icons which can easily be done from your computer before you put them on the sd card.
Updated, you can now set title titles of each shortcut.
going to try it, thanksssssssssss
When I tried it, the buttons of the app did not work properly.
I ran into a slight problem. While selecting the icon folder.
Drilled down to folder.
Hit select...nothing
Hit select...nothing
Hit select...nothing
Hmm
Hit back button...nothing
Hmm
Screen turns black, osmonitor looks maxed out.
After around 5 minutes, maybe more, go into osmonitor and kill auto shortcut.
droid x
Froyo
350+ apps
I have the Droid Incredible, when I get to step 2 "select shortcuts to create" and I tap on create button nothing happens. I could go back to step 2 but I can't do anything on step 2
I'll take a look and throw in some log output data to see if i can find the problem.
could we have some images to test? I want to try this but I have no worthy images to replace my current icons
I added a test set of icons on the original post.
Those of you that are having problems, can you give me your device names and android versions.
didnt work with me
i choose the folder
n' then it shows step2 but nothing listed under it
although i named the icons really easy names ( browser, facebook, phone ) !!!
nexus one cyanogenmodRC3 rom
Did you make sure to capitalize the names? Currently it is case sensitive, perhaps it would be best to ignore the case.
Works on my non-rooted ( ) Evo....anyway we could get more icon packs?
Awesome stuff man =)
I will try on both my HEro and my Magic.

after many tries ,,
it only detects Shazam
don't know why
So, I've been pretty down on all the music players on Android for some time. I've tried them all. Very seriously. I've spent 15 bucks on music apps, just trying them out. I don't know why, and I know it's pathetic.
I've used Cubed for by far the most amount of time. I like the animation, I think it's rad. But, it's tough to scan quickly compared to a standard album view where you can see 6 or 7 albums in a list, as opposed to one in the cube, 3 in the morph flow, and I just don't like the look of the wall at all. Boring view is just that, boring. I also hate the song list, it's too ugly and doesn't match the sleakness of the player.
So I stumble upon TTpod music player. For the first 20 minutes I'm confused. It's making my phone a karaoke machine, on every homescreen, lyrics are showing at the bottom of the page. I turn that off in the settings. Play around a bit. And now I'm VERY close to being sold on this.
Desperately needs: Listing alphabetically, now playing screen that shows the rest of the album, widget and that's it. I know, that sounds like a lot. Just thought I'd share with the forum (I hadn't seen anything on this yet). The devs have had this on Nokia phones for years in China, they offer skins (that look awesome), and other cool stuff. Hopefully they get to work on Android stuff, this will be HUGE if it takes off.
Thoughts?
Were you able to do anything at all?? App is in chinese. No way I"m using that. I too have tried a lot of music players. So far, I like poweramp & playerpro.
poweramp for it's finetuning capabilities, but i prefer playerpro for it's allround advantages, like better widget, more stable & cool album view.
The app name is in chinese, but the actual app is fully translated. No different then Miren.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/ttpod-music/com.sds.android.ttpod
Try it out. It won't become your default yet, but the UI is pretty interesting. I think it has a huge amount of potential. Don't forget to turn off the lyrics thing in your settings so the words don't appear at the bottom of your homescreens.
Scrolling through feels really nice. Needs some fine tuning and a widget, but I think you'll be impressed either way.
Playerpro and poweramp are pretty similar to me as far as look and feel goes. They are both solid players. I'm still waiting for an audio player that reinvents the boring standard look. It all just seems stolen from boring iPhone player. I want something that uses the advantages of a touch screen phone, and the graphics and all of the cool things it CAN do. For now Cubed is the only outside the box thing, but TTpod is on its way.
Niope, app is in Chinese after installing. Installed throug market yesterday. Thought it was a mistake, maybe. Tried again through appbrain today, but still in Chinese on program start.
No it is in english, just the app name is chinese.
Installed it twice and got every button with chinese signs instead
Sorry, but i really get it in Chinese only... does anyone has the English apk. As it is a free app, maybe someone can share it...
Sent from my x32 using the licking write method....man I am thirsty now!
You have to select english in the options. was a pain in the butt for me to find the option, but yeah, english translation is included.
It has a nice interface, but I like the swipe gestures to skip songs, and here it goes to different sections like lyrics or something.
plus the lyric search engine is using a chinese server, and sometimes its really funny what the search is picking up, and alot of translations are kinda... well... bad. wrong spelling, bad grammar, and thats for american songs, and i am german, and notice this.
guess they try to write down their own interpretations instead of looking up original lyrics ...
On first start, it's already asking something where you have 2 options. I don't tend to choose either as long as I don't know what it's asking. You might as well go sign a contract without reading it...
very bizarre. I just uninstalled/reinstalled and it came up in English. Didn't have to change any setting at all. It didn't the first time around either.
Droidx unrooted.
I agree on some level about the swiping gesture to next song. I'm used to cubed, so I guess I'm used to not having that. It just desperately needs a "now playing screen" that you can go back to if you search for music to play later or whatever. On that screen they could make the swipe go to next song.
The lyrics screen is the same engine as the MIUI player, I think it's fine. I listen to mostly indie music, and for some reason those types of things don't show up for lyrics no matter what app you have. I do like the integrated option, though.
Came in English on my first install.
Samsung Galaxy 3, rooted.
heres ttpod in English.. latest version 1.40
try it..

Yes, when you return to the playlist after playing, the name of the video you just played will be marked with a different color. However, it is not. If you slide the list for some distance and then slide back, the color of that name will change.

Unfortunately, we can't provide any ETA at the moment. As we are planning to bring you one of the most requested features with the next version, it may take another few weeks. Sorry to keep you waiting
Tested it happens in landscape mode.
Hmm I think I have this bug too, videos that have been played do not show up as such in the list view.

I use mx player pro on nvidia shield tv (android tv) and this version (v1.10.47) has introduced a little problem: everytime I select a file (or more) from a folder I can't reach the options in the bottom part (delete, rename..) without skimming all the list of files in the folder (and reach the bottom). On the previous versions pushing the "right arrow" over the selected file on the controller or the remote controll did the trick but now there is no way to do it. The alternative grid mitigates this problem but I find strange that it's possible to reach the upper menu (going all the way to the left) even now, but not the lower one going all the way to the right. This problem is detectable only on android tv (without touchscreen interaction).
I forgot to mention another annoying issue: on android tv you can not go up a list of files in a folder because it it goes all the way up once you pass the first file you see on screen; you can only go down. Pretty annoying if the folder contains many files.

As MX Player now features a grid view, DPAD Right and Left keys are now used for the navigation. However, we will highlight this with our relevant team and will work towards providing an improved experience in future.

I've installed v1.10.48 beta and that second issue seems to be already fixed. I'll wait for the next official update (of the pro version) and if it appears again I'll try recording it.
About the new grid view, it is true that now DPAD Right and Left keys are used for navigation, but when you go all the way to the right or left the "selection icon" goes straight to the upper menu. It would be convenient to reach even the menu at the bottom (that appear when you select files) in the same way (for example all left-->top menu, all right-->bottom and maybe "last played icon" that seems unreachable in this version). Anyway this is not a real issue, just a little limitation on android tv. If it can be improved it would be good, if not, it would be fine all the same
