Cyanogenmod music players issue

it may be a major issue as you can see here
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/31411-music-player-annoying-behavior/
any music player on CM7 split most of the albums and also the same with various artists into separate albums
see the attached photo

did you checked the tags from the musics? even an extra space on the end nf the song or format can make this happens

yes dude everything seems fine .. this never happened when using any custom roms like fitdroid , creeds , razodroid , emanon ,etc

Same here...actually In every cyanogen I've used the problem is present...So I started using different music players....That's only solution for me...

[R800x][2.3.3] Xloud and music track skip for stock vzw!

First off, a big thanks to CosmicDan, 7OH, and 007shark.
As otherwise I wouldn't have these two mods.
Xloud is from 007shark's UK rom for R800x. It WILL increase all system sounds. It SHOULDN'T blow your speakers unless you always have then on max volume then that's your fault. Its not needed for the track skip to work, just thought I'd share.
Download via mediafire
And music skip via volume keys, hold the volume up key for next song. Down for previous song.
Download via Mediafire
Another version of the track skip mod but the buttons are fliped function wise.
Down=next song up=previous song
Download via Mediafire

Thanks for sharing this. ^_^ I'm curious though, if stock VZW doesn't have XLoud to begin with, what makes it louder than CM9?
Also, do I need XLoud installed to use the skip track mod?

Not sure, I shared xloud since I just like the boost knowing my speakers are as loud as they can be.
You don't need it for the track skip I wasnt going to upload it at first but then figured other people may want it. I'll add that to the OP later.
Sent from my R800x

Alright. I flashed the button mod and it's working perfectly. I'll definitely give XLoud a try sometime. My speaker is loud enough for ringtones but when it comes to music, it could be louder.

--NVM-- I saw the thread for ICS.
But nice job dude. If I ever go back to GB(don't plan on it with the amazing-ness of ICS) I'm gonna end up using this mod. Stock sounds are too quiet.

And how would I remove them if I say i no longer wanted them?

-.- was referring to a more convenient method like deleting a system file or something of that nature.

If you mean the track skip replace my android.policy.jar with your old one.
Do the same for xloud but delete the files I have added. You should notice your backup won't have a few of the files in the xloud.zip just remove them.

Crap I installed xloud and didn't make a back up.....x_x

Well then shame on you!
Jk you can still disable it by removing the lines referring to xloud from the build.prop.

sweet anyway this can be converted into an app?
Like Xperia Tweaks is an app that enables the Mobile Bravia engine, if you're not using it you can uncheck it, and even uninstall it.
Having something like that would be awesome & convenient

I doubt it I just don't feel like it.

Any plans on working on a 2.3.4 version of these mods? Its nice to have options.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Have tried flashing the current version on 2.3.4? I don't think verizon changed the policy that much. Otherwise could you upload a copy of 2.3.4's android.policy.jar and I'll make another version sometime uuh after lol.

Thanks.
Can't seem to get the music skip with volume keys to work though. Music starts when it's off when I hold down the volume, but no skipping.

Which zip did you flash one has down volume set to rewind and the other is down to skip.

I flashed the volume up as next track (kind of emulate what PlayerPro does). What music programs does this work for? It kept starting my Winamp, but not moving onto the next track. Does it work for stock?

Will xLoud work on CM9?

I haven't been able to, I would like to though. atm I'm stuck here
I've tried making the xloud service pressiatant ie always on but the system wouldn't switch to the xloud_device nor route it through the speakers or headphones. If you look at sechko's paranoid android port you'll notice he has included the xloud wrapper and xloud sound libs but the system ignores them.

[Q] Xperia J - Volume boost on headphones?

Hey, is there any way to boost up the volume on Xperia J? I used to have Desire Z and Sound Boost from android market worked just fine but with this phone it does not.
Thank you

Actuallyit has xloud technology so no use of other apps and earphones came withit is not good quality!! So use otherearpiece !! M using panasonic earphones its awesome

If it is the phone, and I believe it is, you have to try 1) a custom ROM, 2) very good quality earphones or 3) there is a music app which allows a simple, powerful volume boost through the equaliser, the app is called Rocket Player, I use it and it overcomes my low audio problem.

Hey do you happen to know if there is some kind of a mod to boost the volume for a couple of dB? Equalizing is not the same and I'm sure that this phone can playback music a lot louder, I'm using headphones because I don't like earphones.

I use the app Volume Boost and works fine when I turn the phones.
The sound is perfect.

Could you please provide exact link to Google Play?
I tried some of these https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Volume+Boost&c=apps
And none would work. They would only stop songs from playing at all. I'm on stock, no root.
Edit:
I just bought the Volume Boost app the one with speaker in icon, it doesn't work so I got a refund. None of those work. I guess I will have to edit out some values by hand after rooting.
Thanks anyway

OK I just bought it and it doesn't work. Got a refund.
It just stops the music or downmixes sound to mono in my case. I guess Xperia J's kernal is different or something.

Just put CM on it, it's very stable, + you get the db limit removed, and you get DSPManager.It's much louder than the stock ROM.

But I want to keep Sony UI and all, is there any way I could replace some files manually and boost up the dB? Like a prop file or something? It's really frustrating. I get it that have to limit it due to some sort of laws but come on..
So far I've managed to track down few files at:
etc/audio_effects.conf which calls for Hearing Protection service?
etc/AudioFilter.csv which is exactly the same as in CM roms, so it can't be it
Any idea on the Hearing Protection?
Edit:
I've tried removing all of these from the audio_effects.conf but no luck, the volume is still cut off.
soundaura removes the studio reverb menus,
vpt the More.. menu in the sound enhancements menu.
clearaudio the equalizer in walkman player
hearing protection is what I thought it would be but it doesn't work
clearaudio {
path /system/lib/soundfx/libclearaudiowrapper.so
}
vpt {
path /system/lib/soundfx/libvptwrapper.so
}
soundaura {
path /system/lib/soundfx/libsoundaurawrapper.so
}
HearingProtection {
path /system/lib/soundfx/libhearingprotection.so
}
}
Edit #2:
Removing entire lib/soundfx/ doesn't do anything except for disabling stuff in the Walkman player. I've also tried to remove from system/app/ everything somehow related to audio and it wouldn't work either.
I will get on that tomorrow. eh...
Edit #3:
I've tried to replace libaudio files with the ones from one of the CM roms which are different from xperia... but that made the stock ROM unable to boot at all, had to reflash the phone using PC Companion (The update phone function + fix).
I don't think I'm able to boost up the volume on the stock ROM. Oh well...

Did anyone find a way to boost up the volume by now? It would be great...

Hey check this out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...2Z0LmVudGVydGFpbm1lbnQudm9sdW1lLmJvb3N0ZXIiXQ..
Boosted my volume by 28%. really makes a difference.
The best way to know its working is to run some music up max. then boost it in the app. It works really well

What about using equalizer like in ttpod? If the sound is still slow, its better to get cmoy.
Now using:
Sony Xperia tipo ST21i

1. Download and Flash zip through recovery
2. It is a common issue that superior auto and manual are broken, as well as constant force closing of the cameraui and the camera common if you happen to encounter this make shortcuts of all camera apps provided on the home screen of your launcher. Then disable cameracommon and semccamera under the all apps tab in settings. Adding of the shortcuts can be done on pretty much any launcher you will have to locate it for your respective launcher. The shortcut is labeled Camera and from there you select the needed apps. (IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE TO ADD SHORTCUTS BEFORE DISABLING CAMERA COMMON, AS THE SHORTCUT DISAPPEARS ONCE DISABLED)
3. Enjoy the Slew of new Sony Apps on AOSP
Imporant
not everything works well with ART (so dont blame me if problems arise when using ART)

It seems to use whatever equalizer you'd have on your phone. Its nice looking for sure.

I don't see visualizer option anywhere in it. And before I installed V4A it wasn't even showing the default Equalizer. Moreover I'm unable to edit music info.

Visualizer is a separate apk that has additional files and framework. Edit music info NEVER has worked on any device other than the Sony devices walkman came on, due to relying on certain Sony keys. Equalizer has been ported before, but ALSO relys on files and frameworks that must be placed in the right spot to work
