Google play music buttons - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The music buttons started looking weird like this since I flashed from slimkat to purity

ok, so? what's weird about it?

Play Music updated to material design.

Before, the bottom buttons looked like this rather than have all the buttons cluttered at the bottom. Any way to fix that?

That looks weird. Mine doesn't look like that. Uninstall it and download Music app through play store. Its has been updated.

Already did that, it stayed the same

Issue with google play music not showing music until reboot

Hello all just got my nexus 5 and loving it so far. Was on iPhone for many years but tinkered a bit with Android. I am having issues with google play music not showing music that I download until I restart my phone. Is any one else experiencing this or know how to get music to show with out reboot? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same issue. This is using the default Play Music app. Cannot see music I have downloaded until I reboot my phone.
I fixed the problem by changing to different music downloading app

Which developer is it by? There's about 8 different ones and they are all the same but they are by different people haha

Try the one with the most downloads. For som reason I can find the one I have installed on the play store hah. They all look like the same thing anyways so not sure it matters which you get.

What kinds of glitches are you having with Poweramp? I've never had any issues with it.
Yeah, no glitches / issues for me as well! Runs smoothly..
If you want a change, you could try Musixmatch or rocket player..

its like from now, if I add music files, more specifically, .aac files, the time of the track has seemed to double, yet starts at the middle of that doubled time, so it plays normally. why am I looking for a new player is because it actually cuts the track at the end too early, and I want to actually listen to entire track.

I don't know about the doubling thing, but the end of the track being cut off is probably because of your crossfade / gapless settings which can be adjusted.
Personally, the only music app I ever used was Poweramp until I switched to Google Music All Access when I bought this phone. I haven't looked back.

what I meant was that it actually cuts off 2-5 seconds before the track ends. I've used the Poweramp forum to discuss my problems with little help.

Doubling of track time is a problem with the specific music file and not with PowerAmp..
Even I have faced this a few times but it was because of the bad file... I re-downloaded the file from a different source and everything was ok!
Seriously, there isn't any music app which I've found better than PowerAmp and I've been using it since ages!

My advice is Walkman Player...but you need root...the clearaudio equalizer is something that is amazing! I really love it!
You can try Shuttle+ found on the Play Store.

I suggest PlayerPro.

Icon refresh after closing app

Hi,
I have a fairly new nexus 5 from an RMA so is this a issue with new handset or I have read it's due to new Google now launcher.
Every time I close game app or social media app my screen icons disappear and the come back after a second or so.
I didn't have this on my original at any point.
Thanks

I'm running completely stock and I do occasionally get oddities when returning to the launcher. Mostly, this results in the wallpaper turning black for a split second before returning. It's not the end of the world but it doesn't look very slick next to iOS 6... I've not found a cure for it sadly.
It's a memory issue. When you are running heavy apps suchs as games etc the launcher will drop out of memory to make place for the game and will have to redraw itself when you go back to it. I have not personally had this issue with the stock launcher as far as I know but on the other hand I do not play games either except for emulators. Perhaps it's some kind of Google Launcher issue. It should stay in memory though and not get killed unless you have very little free RAM available.

Don't worry it is only because of your heavy graphics apps, generally social media apps or games apps takes lots of memory to store.

[Q] Get rid of stock voice dialer!!!!!!

I've been searching the internet off and on for a month or so, and haven't found any solutions: How to get rid of the Google voice dialer that launches when the general Bluetooth button is pushed, or replace it with Google now. You CAN'T just freeze it because it IS NOT an app, so please don't suggest it. I'm running c-rom v7.0 (android 4.4.3) I don't see ANY reason Google still is using the voice dialer, not Google now that can do so much more, I'm willing to try almost anything as I'm finding this increasingly irritating. Remember, it is NOT an app so I can't freeze it or uninstall it. The Bluetooth device is not important as I've seen the same problem for all kinds of Bluetooth's, I'm talking about the general call button found on almost all bluetooth's and some earbuds/headphones.

[Request] Soft keys

Does anyone have any zipthemer softkeys for 5.1.1?
Tried using ones from the old candy shop thread and nothing will flash successfully.

You using " SoftKeyZ"? The app works fine. You just pick the icons grin the app, or it's online ones and pick the size. I use the 1_1,normal, press the tick and that's it. Silly question..You are rooted?
That's a great network you're on btw. Can't get over how cheap it ££12quid for unlimited data 4g tons of calls and text. My American gf pays a fortune. Found one for£10 same deal
