Req NEW Honeycomb Music Player

A new version has been ported and released on the Evo, with cloud sync working. Would love it on my Inc. running SR3.5

Do you have a link?

hey fellas,
i don't think the app is new. a user over in the Evo section noticed that after flashing the latest CM7 build and replacing the stock Music.apk with the Honeycomb music app already floating around his sych/cloud services started to work:

Here's a link to the Honeycomb Music apk:

I installed it and it worked for me and my music synced in the cloud!

wait, so its already working for our Inc's? Does it have lock screen controls? That was another thing missing from the first leaked version. Also does it improve the volume levels at all? I have to listen at full volume for some songs. Im dying for a new music player, stock one is so bland.

I am not sure about the lock screen controls but I was able to install the apk and it played all the music

Does the cloud sync work?

anyone know how to get ringtones, system sounds, (non music) to stop showing up in the music app? i would like to see only music

I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone quite yet, it has a lot of bugs I noticed after just a couple minutes:
1) No lock screen controls
2) Notification shows content://media/external/...blah blah instead of the song name
3) The pause/next feature present while browsing your library disappears once you hit next (it's possible this was intentional but I tend to believe it's always supposed to be there so you can keep skipping while browsing)
4) Pure music widget crashes when trying to launch app (may be related to #5, not sure).
5) Not sure why, but after I tapped the notification a few times, now I can't even use it. Every time I play a song, it skips to the next one and keeps skipping every second or two to the next song. A reboot did not resolve the issue. The album art displays "buffering" before it skips, so maybe it has something to do with cloud sync, which I didn't play around with, other than selecting my google account in the settings.

Pure music never worked with Gingerbread according to my experience.
One more problem/thing I overlooked: what about shuffle and repeat?

Thanx for the info Xidexl, thats all I needed to know. Guess ill stick with stock. Hopefully new SR will come with a new player.

Couldn't we just rip the final version off of the xoom then that would fix the issues we're having with bugs and I've also seen the one on the xoom and it seems to be a bit different

Wich rom?

Hi, which version do you recommend using in my new infuse? The last of October 18?

Which*
and i am currently using CM7, but if you want touchwiz, i find Infused to be the most stable.

Darky rom is amazing!!
Darky Baby the one and only!!!

darky/any of the JVT roms have problems reading ID3 tags properly if you're planning to use your infuse as your primary music player like i do. particularily, they have trouble reading MP4, FLAC tags and it doesn't recognize some others too.
I personally recommend installing CM7, dynamic ram's 99 tweaks/server system/app process, and then finishing it off with USAS v13. It'll be crackhead fast, extremely responsive but the bluetooth doesn't work. I have no use for BT so that doesn't matter to me.
If you don't care about the ID3 tags, then i would say go with darky. amazingly snappy, and it has all the samsung apps on it too (i like the samsung contacts app, swiping left and right). I would say it's more responsive than the CM7 on its own, but after installing the 2 tweaks above i'd say they're about equal in snappiness.

Personally a fan of miui. Super customizable but need some under clocking cause it drains juice a bit. My second choice is def CM7.

Depends on your needs. If you want bluetooth audio to work, I would avoid MIUI and CM7. They will never get bt working until the official is released.
If you like modified or skinned roms, anything with KK2 would be a good choice. I believe KK1 had some errors, so avoid that. If you want one of the latest stock roms, I'd try VictoryRom. I'm using it now and it works great without all the modifications. Bluetooth audio, wifi and GPS all work and it's already rooted.

By USAS do you mean the "samsung adrenaline shot" ?
Sorry for the random question, but I'd like to try this combination.

Yes, the universal adrenaline shot.

So it sounds like JVT ROM's don't read ID3 tags properly? Sucks, I really want to use my phone as my main music player.
If that's the case, I have no options other than CM7

unfortunately. I tried ID3 v3,v2.3 in the 3 different encoding formats none of them picked up properly. so i got frustrated and went back to CM7. I also tried using the id3 changers from the market to see if that works, no luck. all the mp4/flacs cant even be edited. switching back to CM7 fixed those things for me.

Is it just flac and mp4? All my music is in mp3 and m4a.

m4a is also affected. Mp3's are affected in what appears to be a random pattern. Few songs from albums will show up different than the rest of the album. it'll lump my anime genre with my soundtrack genre. my k-pop genre showed up as k-pop twice, same spelling, half the songs in one, other half in the other.
i don't know why the music core from samsung is so broken but using it as a music player is impossible for me =[

Well screw that! It sounds broken. Samsung should get to it some day, haha.
Oh well, I love CM7!

Just set aside 2 days and go on a flashathon lol. See what works best for you and caters most to your unique preferences. Lucky for you, there's been a huge outbreak of new roms for us these last couple weeks so have some fun and try em out... and be sure to provide some feedback if you do...

[Q] Hypersensation flash player issues?

Hi all,
I've recently flashed the hypersensation rom with faux kernel and I had noticed I wasn't able to play any flash videos on websites like break and whatnot. I've tried installing flash 11 from mrket and also 10.2 for armv7 from the forums but neither helps. Is there a solution? Thanks!

I had also noticed some crazy stuff like urbanspoon app and various other sites not loading all the way too like.

Bump. Any thoughts? It seems like videos on youtube starts to buffer but doesn't actually play.

[Q] Google Music 4.x is slow and uses a lot of battery

Hi,
No matter the rom (ICS) I use (Gummy, CyberGR MOd, PixelRom 1.60...) + google music app (4.1.152 and 4.1.153) + Eugene kernel 7 or Air kernel.
When I say slow I mean the browsing through files or, eg, when showing recent music Thumbnail... it takes year to show up. And when I press play it takes a lot of time to start the track.
Go a lot of battery drain too and when i play music and the cell getting hot.
it's acting like HDD with a lot of random access with poor data rate transfer...kind of wierd
any idea?
PS: did try to format the sd

Weird, because I've been using Google Music 4 since it came out and became my primary music player. I have no issue with the music app.

Are you playing music from the cloud?
The long loading times and pictures being shown slowly are because its downloading them to your device from the cloud.
And again, it takes a few seconds to play because it's streaming from the cloud.
So in this case, your internet must not be that great.
This is all assuming of course, you are using it to play from the cloud.

no i'm not. all mp3 are on my nand.
Bu Well, for nown it's fixed... made yet an other install (Gummy 0.8.2 + Google music 4.1.153 since a don't like the old music app form CM7 + Eugene's kernel).
Don't know what happen tbh since i did not changed anything in my way of installing a custom rom.
Maybe it's linked to an app I use for some reason.

[Q] YouTube App Problem (skipping, lagging)

Hello,
I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.
When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.
So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).
Thanks!

No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.

for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS

So there is no way to fix this? I tried to download a trailer and it lags as well. So it is not just the youtube app. Shouldn't the tf101 handle videos pretty good?

I tried everything and finally...
I uninstalled adobe flash player, and it stopped skipping around. Wondering if there is a system conflict on this tablet as there is sometimes w/ desktop versions of google and the conflicts between shockwave and flash player... oh well, it worked. Super frustrating.
