Apollo Music Player? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have the apk for it that has been tested to work with 4.4? And with apollo player having flac playback, is it native? Or is it like google play music in which it just down samples it to 320kbps upon playing?

Download any cyanogenmod build for any xHDPI device and extract the apk from system/app inside the ZIP for it.
Then remove the zip because it is obsolete.

Sure thing! h ttps://f-droid.org/

For those that have it, have you tested flacs on it? Do they play natively with no down sampling? This is my biggest concern; there just doesn't seem to be any elegant solution for playing flacs right now. Poweramp and winamp are clunky and heavy to say the least, and andLess is so bare bones and lacks a lot of features compared to Apollo.

Apollo latest version
http://sonyandroid.altervista.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=527

I've been using Apollo on my N7 and S2, tried it on my N5 and decided to go with Shuttle music player instead. Virtually the same thing, plays back my FLACs, has HD album cover, etc and equalizer setting

Thanks for directing my towards Shuttle. It has all I was looking for in a music player. I encourage everybody to try it.
It handles 4.4.1 without a problem on my Nexus 5. Widget background colour and transparency are customisable, buttons can be dark or light to fit your wallpaper. There are themes and lots of settings. Even though free version is all I need I'm going to buy Shuttle+ as a token of my appreciation to developers hard work.

double-tap the screen? And if they don't stretch out on the whole screen, then I would not like to see it fitting the whole screen. Since then it would look all pixelated and ****.
Yxflash can play most video files. I think that Meridian might stretch them out, like you want. I am not quite sure tho, since I convert them so that they fit the screen.
I gotta agree there.. Yxflash does play other types compared to others such as avi/divx files! If you are after a basic player, I think there's one called act 1 player..

try Wuzhenhua Player v4.1, free and has support for a wide range of audio and video formats. it's in Chinese but few buttons are easy to understand
http://mobiputing.com/tag/wuzhenhua-player/
within link above there is a ref to a thread in xda, post 76 you'll find english ver
Please let me know if someone would like to have the english translation of Wuzhenhua Player v4.1. Then i will help to do it.
Wuzhenhua 4.1 is already in English ^^x
suggestion: what about turning this thread into a media player collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject?

Media Go - Skyfire
I found that the SONY Media Go application can practically convert anything even old copy protected iTunes if you have DRM on your computer, If you are downloading off the phone browser try using Skyfire as this has built in video codecs for most video formats.

I'm a HUGE fan of MixZing. It has an Album Art option and is well worth the paid version. As for Videos, I have used RockPlayer in the past. It works well and has good codec support.

i agree completely, used to be a huge fan of mixzing until i found player pro, it has all the same features plus gives you lock screen controls as well as several widget options to fit your screen's needs
Does anybody still use the cubed music app? I loved it. It downloads the album artwork, too.

PlayerPro is the ishnish.
I love Meridian Media Player. there is a free and paid version. It plays all of my videos and music, let's you create playlists, downloads album art, shows lyrics if embedded, and works flawlessly.
Just downloaded Music Player and the beta of Winamp, but it seems neither of those read our internal storage so they are worthless to me.

Apollo Music player in CM10 doesn't show album art

I mean it does, but only the ones it automatically downloads from the internet. I don't want those they're like 100X100 plus I don't want it downloading these things over mobile network. I have all my musics tagged with high resolution album art, I wanna see those.
of course, my files are tested and they work with other music players, some show reduced quality jpeg, but Nutron Players shows the origional.
Apart from completely unable to see any of my album covers, apollo is probably the best music player (yea I tried them all, 38 of them) on android. so I really want this to work for a perfect experience.

Apollo Music Player

The CM default music player used to be in the play store, but has since been removed. I'm not running CM but another AOSP Rom so I don't have it installed.
I've searched all over, and maybe it's right in front of me, but could anyone direct me to were I could download it?

even though I paid for poweramp, I use apollo. Less battery drain and still doesn't restart an mp3 after a reboot or even booting into recovery.

I agree with apollo being a good music player. I on the other hand tend to go for lesser known apps like Music Player Remix.

What media player do you use?

I used a lot of ROMs, but I have not really got the best built in media player. The HTC stock player is good, but could be better, CM's Apollo is too much, and relies on data. I tried Sony Walkman, and just didn't like the UI. Then I downloaded Mixzing, it is good, but it is not simplistic. Don't get me wrong, I love messing with tweaks, but it just had too much going for it. However, I do keep it for identifying songs, and automatically filling in ID3 tags. So far, I am using Poweramp, and it is smooth and simple, but powerful as well.
Now if it just played videos, that would be great, but I have JoeVLC for that. The best darn VLC port on Android if you ask me.
Try doubleTwist (does audio and video, very clean ui) and maybe the miui music app. I use mvideoplayer for video. Great great video player.

Tried that. A bit farfetched, and money hungry for simple features. I was really looking for id3 editing. Plus 4.99 for wireless transfers? That is what open SSH is for

winamp on android doesn't take advantage of sound mods
Apollo, Only when I have This audio mod.
Makes the phone's speaker sound godly and the headphones sound even better.
Music: Poweramp. (the best music player so far)
Video: MX Player (trust me, It's the best in the market)
I use Nexmusic/Nexmusic Nightly Beta for music (obviously) haha and MX Player for videos (best video player EVER). For editing song info I use Pimp My Music.

I used to use this when I was running the Sense roms but it's currently not supporting 4.2.2 so I'm using this. Both of them make the phone loud and the audio pretty great. I leave BEATS BOOST on Slight, Equalizer on R&B, and sometimes I turn on the VIRTUAL ROOM EFFECT which I leave on Studio.
