Nexus s 4g stock music player???

So I rooted my ns4g pretty much the minute I got it and I noticed there isn't a stock player??? It could be the rom I flashes doesn't have one but I didnt notice it when it was stock either. Any feedback??

It does have a stock player. It is called "Music."

Yep and it is actually a darn decent player too. Still using poweramp since I paid for it and has an eq but the default music player imo is easier to navigate while on the run.

Ok so I looked through my apps and I have one called music but I'm pretty sure thats the google music beta app I downloaded. The Icon is an orange set of Headphones. My Epic 4G had a music player that had an equalizer which I loved!

Remember the Nexus is vanilla android, the galaxy is castrated by Samsung and touchwiz.

There are good free eq apps in the market that add a menu option to music apps using 2.3+. I like flat with my klipsch s4, but it helps greatly for my cold shure ec2. I use "equalizer" from smart android apps.
Look for the eq in the sound effects menu option. That menu option is only available on the playback view, not in any of the library views.

Winamp is a pretty decent music app for the Android as well. I use that rather than Google's stock music player.

Which rom are you using? I put the new google music player in becuase the market will keep telling you you have an update. TBH, I like the new one better anyway. If you want the aosp out-of-box player, I can give it to you.

The only thing I didn't like about the music player is the absence of an equalizer, but I dl'ed the equalizer app and it works flawlessly! Thanks

Ok I found this amazing app (in my opinion lol) and I thought I might as well share it out if anyone's missed it. It's wp7 music player in beta stage but the fluidity and the looks is really good already. Not a single lag. Try it
Another music player made by the same dev has better SQ than powerAMP btw.

Yh it's Better Music EQ and it's only better in terms of SQ. What I find better with this music player's tweaks i.e. EQ, bass boost, virtualizer etc is that it doesn't distort the music sound as much as powerAMP. So it's much easier to get clearer sounds with natural deep bass with crisp treble. The virtualizer, if used properly, can widen the soundstage without affecting other sounds

I believe he's talking about zplayer which is a zune player port from the zune or Windows phone 7, I dnt believe its the one u r talking about

trying it right now, had few force closes when going back from homescreen to the player. sound quality is on par with my current mixzing player IMO.
lack settings menu. some cover art cannot be read.
overall still quite a nice option player

Best Equalizer w/ Music Player out there

Cut that Beats crap, thats no where close to a real Eq. You want to hear what real music was supposed to be like?
You want a powerful music player that has equalizers for nearly every aspect of your song?
You want to get the recently released jetAudio app. This music player is the most feature packed one I've seen and tried yet.
It is a player that is for Windows and it was recently ported to Android.
I blast Dubstep though my headphones daily so I needed a nice Eq for that. This is the best sounding player I've seen in a while.
It supports nearly every format availible, has insane amounts of equalizers, can change the speed of song, different effects (crossfade, cut, etc), can post to twitter/facebook for what you are playing if you want, has some fancy animations and more.
If you are looking for a music player then use this one.
Play Store Link (free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetappfactory.jetaudio
It is currently recently released so it may have bugs. From what I've seen its working 100% though.
Also, if you want an ICS themed music player, check out the Apollo app from CM9 (google around to find the apk). It is awesome as well and is themeable (it only has a dark and light theme as of now though).

Thanks, great find! Looks nicer than PowerAMP.

Great!

Looks great, I'll definitely give this a try. I just wish they decided to use the Holo theme rather than going for a shiny-iPhone skin... but I'm OCD!
Any idea if the headphone controls actually work with our phone? I haven't had any success with even playing/pausing using any other headset :/

Anyone have any feedback as far as comparing this to poweramp+beats?

Wow, amaaaazing, how awesome that JetAudio Basic player is... (And for FREE! Not just 15-day-trial like PowerAMP free version... )
Get JetAudio Basic and rate it!
Anyone got an idea how to get a JetAudio Basic-widget on the homescreen? Like a mini-player with play/pause? :/

Loving the eqs on this, just wish it could work with my play music since I don't keep much music on the phone since no expandable SD card :/

Without BBE+ this player is not that great, however BBE Sound Inc. will soon come out with there own player app for Android soon, some time this year.

AC!D sound Engine (All devices ICS+)

Just wanted to share what I found exploring xda. I claim none of these mods.
A quick summary: It makes your music sound better with various mods including Team AC!D's own modifications. Check out the thread for details and how to flash it.
I've used this on Embryo 5.3, AOKP, and Slimbean. All was working fine. Follow the instructions their thread and you should be fine. I won't be say if this or another mod is better for the same reason that "which ROM is better?" threads aren't allowed. I don't know much about audio/music/mods, but I do know this will not brick a white AT&T i727 Galaxy SII Skyrocket ( For those who don't know which forum is this.) I will do my best to answer any questions, but your best bet for a relevant answer is their thread.

Mine plays Le Musique via Bluetooth. The only thing is that it doesn't sound as good as the headphones plugged in. I use HD Motorolla stereo headset it doesn't make my phone reboot. I found a weird bug tho. When I open the WALKMAN app it stutters (it is awesome.)
My setup:
Hardware: Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
Software: LiquidSmooth 4.1.2
Sound Engine: ACID Audio Engine V5
Music Player: Walkman
EQ:

If you flash the AC!D without any add on, you can use other equalizers or players without any problems. It might help with your Bluetooth problem. Make sure you flash on a clean install.

I flashed walkman player too, it seems you have to open it, click play twice, exit, go back in and it'll play.
I also get random reboots just with Walkman. Well, not exactly random, whenever the screen turns off while Walkman player is on, it'll reboot.

Thanks for sharing this!
Works great with my Samsung SGH-i727 running CM10 stable.
Flashed the AC!D Audio Engine and the Walkman player. It's an AWESOME music mod.
I wasn't sure how to get rid of DSP Manager like the instructions said to do. There was no "uninstall" function in the app list.. only a greyed out "Disable" button. Decided not to worry about it and flashed anyway. Everything seems to be working fine.
Great stuff! :good:

To delete DSP manager I downloaded root browser and went to System<app<DSP manager I long pressed and click delete. That got rid of it.
AC!D is cool but I am having some problems with the Walkman player stuttering really bad on me. Cheers

Im using this without walkman. Totally works. I also use audio fx from the market as an equalizer. If your using the uclk4 rom, theres a bit more you have to do.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Been using it for a bit now and I'm getting mixed feelings. Since I use power amp religiously, I did not download the Walkman player, but instead opted for their eq app. The adjustments in the eq all are pretty good and very noticeable when using he YouTube app, but hardly noticeable at all while playing music in power amp. I had all power amps eq and any sound settings turned off and still couldn't hear any discernable difference with any changes in their eq app. Very weird.

[Request] Beats/Acid/EQ?

Is there a way to flash an apk or zip file to get a system wide EQ on our phone like Beats? The sound output via the headphones is soooooo low. Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

Viper4Android is by far the best IMO. It's a much easier install than AC!D as well. Beats(even Awesome Beats) was always garbage to me. Especially compared to AC!D/Viper4Android.

I've decided to give a try to the Beats Audio™ PRO that used before on my N7 which is now outdated on playstore...if you find it and it works for you it is night and day compared to the original output. There is no equalization but IMO there is no need to. You can still play with EQ with your music player (I use poweramp). I've tried several DSP managers (downloaded, integrated in custom roms, etc...) but nothing comes close this mode. The only inconvience - you need to be root.

Don't really need to. The stock ROM doesn't contain the lines to edit anyways.

Viper works, I highly recommend if using with a good IRS. Works great on my Nexus 5!! Best audio mod I've used.

Okay. I had installed beats on a previous phone awhile ago and wasn't at all impressed. The EQ in poweramp was good enough. However, seen this thread today and figured I'd give viper a shot being as how a couple people recommended it. Well, I am quite impressed. I've tried it on phone speaker and Bluetooth and it definitely offers an improvement, especially on Bluetooth. Hopefully, it is just as good on the headset, haven't been able to test it out yet. But yeah, definitely worth installing.

Do you have the "Enable/V4A-FX is powered on" check box checked for the output you're using? There is one to check for Bluetooth, Speaker, and Headphones. All three have been working for me on Google Music.

Yeah, I have that box checked for my headphones. I've been changing the eq settings and nothing happens. Going to uninstall and reinstall.

It *is* system-wide. It won't work on PowerAmp unless you turn off DVC in PowerAmp's settings.
V4A is a comprehensive audio-driver replacement, not just some software EQ.
