Honeycomb Music app

Anyone using the Honeycomb music app? Im giving it a try it installed just fine for me. Works good and looks really nice. Give it a try, just google it.

Just got it. it works great and is better looking than the stock music player.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

where is the apk?

Just Google "honeycomb music player apk". A bunch of links out there.
I like the player but the thing I miss is the ability to use the Inspires Dolby or SRS sound enhancements. They really make a difference.

I'm using it. It's pretty nice

Sometimes a really good pair of IEM's will cure the need for sound enhancers. IE7/8, Westone UM3, Shure 500 series. These top off the rack IEM's are why i love digital music.

i tried a couple of places but it never installs right for me

I just installed it two things bug me though. I there any way I could get it working as a replacement for the stock music player? Like making it work with the lockscreen and work right in the notifications area?
It's much better than stock even though it can be glitchy.

You would have to remove the stock app to make new one default.
I get the pause and play buttons on the lockscreen, is that what your talking about.

It must be because i'm still using sense. I'm going to flash a different lockscreen and see if that fixes it.
I removed the stock apk and sideloaded the honeycomb music player Is there a specific way to replace it instead of that?

where have you guys gotten yours? i want to use it but it never works

ICS music player(4.0)

I found ICS music player 4.0 .
Remove old version and then copy (with root explorer or else) in system/app reboot and then instal music player.
Your rom must be deoxeded and its work for XXKPQ.

Thank you but there is a newer version of this app out here. Currently I've got Google Music v4.0.9.509 installed.

It works on deodexed ddkp2
please click thanks if you helped me.... ( oops sorry if i held you )
got new galaxy i9003 on replacement.....

I think this version is already posted by someone else here on xda. It doesnt have inbuilt equilizer. Default player is much...much better than this. But still good work bro

Inbuilt EQ? Does this matter since we have DSP Manager? I don't think so. A argument for the stock music player is the nice integration into the statusbar, but the rest of the UI in my sight is horrible. It isn't even compatible with changed LCD Density. I feel much more comfortable with the Google Music UI. But that is a personal opinion and thus we can't say this, or stock music, or what else is better.
I've attached the newer version of google music. Extract and simply install. No need to push it anywhere.
EDIT: Upload doesn't work. Everytime the forum says "Upload failed." I'll try later
EDIT2: Upload succeded. P.S. I had two apks when I looked into my download folder one with version 4.0.9.509 and one unnamed that was actually newer: Version 4.1.511

@ taraen
ya...u are right. It depends upon personal opinion but I have opbserved very cleanly that definitely default music player's inbuilt equilizer is really better than any other equilizer that we install in our phone. I usually set this combination in my default music player
euilizer- classic
sound effect- wide
On this combination if u listen music then its really awsome. I tried so many different equilizers but no one matched sound qulity that I got from default music player with above settings.
Edit:
I tried most famous power amp music player. It is really better but not best as compared to default music player in terms of equilizer sound quality.

Headphones which we got with our handset.

I have tried around with your settings. They sound good, but hence they don't have any bass they don't fit my taste of music. I simply don't manage to get some bass out of these earphones without making everything sound muffled / dull / how_you_ever_want_to_describe_it

Sorry for not being that precise. I know DSP Manager, and I'm using it with Google Music. With that I don't have any Problems. But as vishal24387 posted his EQ settings with the stock music player EQ I tried again to find some settings that fit my taste of music.

Well!!!so good!

Cyanogens DSP Manager for ALL Roms/Stock

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795233
Just did some searching and found this.
It's cyanogens DSP Manager and in my honest opinion, the best equalizer out there, it's a must have.
all you do is download the APK(don't download the zip) and install it and just tweak the settings afterwards.

Kind if works, bass does nothing but equalizer works perfectly, suprised this works without a library

Cool maybe its possible to get the gesture lock from cm7 too.

Bass boost worked for me same as all the others.

[Links Down For Updates] [MOD] CM DSP Manager Patch For PowerAMP & PlayerPRO

Hello all, as a new user of XDA I want to contribute to the Nexus 7, So today I would love to share this patch with all of you. And also I would like to take the time to say thanks to all of the DEVs that work hard to give the public their amazing ROMs.
Info:
I have been searching for months on how to fix the ICS and JB DSP Manager so it will work with music apps like PowerAMP and PlayerPRO, Well recently I have finally finished my project of hacking the DSP Manager to work with those apps, so I am now sharing it with all of you and the patch is compatible with every ROM even if the DSP Manager is not natively installed on your ROM. This patch as only been tested with the latest versions of PowerAMP and PlayerPRO, so if you use another music app please test and tell me how it goes. Lastly if for any reason you are unable to get my patch to work please post questions here and I will help you as best as I can.
Enjoy my patch!
When Using This Patch:
Make sure that all other equalizers and audio managers are disabled and with PowerAMP specifically make sure the setting Direct ROM Volume Control is disabled
Bugs:
All:
The DSP Service sometimes closes without warning
Work Around:
Keep the DSP Manager App open in the background
Downloads:
4.1.2 ROMs
4.2.1 ROMs

I was going to try this to see if it would get DSP Manager to work with GoneMad Music Player by some odd chance, and I get the 'failed' error while flashing. I am using TWRP and running Dirty Rombox. I made sure I used the correct file, so might you have an idea as to what is wrong?

It's the zip I forgot that I used Amend Scripting for all of the zips that I made because I have an Optimus S that I also use this patch with and Amend scripting is not comatible with these recoveries, I will fix it and the new download should be up soon

The downloads are fixed and should now flash correctly, and thanks for letting me know so I could fix it, also if you have anymore issues let me know and I'll help as best I can

Alright, it flashed this time
So using GoneMad with it's own EQ turned off and set to use the default Android EQ (DSP Manager I'd assume), I tried listening to some songs again, that I had played before. I noticed some improvement in the songs sounding closer to how they should with DSP Manager, but not quite the same as they sound played by Apollo. I thought it was kind of strange that it only "sort of" worked, so I'm willing to believe it may have been placebo effect in my mind. I will try this with VLC next, as that's another player I've wanted DSP Manager effects to work with.
By the way, my ROM came with KingBeatz... Since it's DSP Manager with some stuff added in, I thought this (your mod) would work the same as with normal DSP Manager. Could this be an issue?

Re: [MOD] CM DSP Manager Patch For PowerAMP & PlayerPRO
I don't know if it is an issue but if it is still installed just make sure you disable it and I just now messed around with gone mad and it seems you have to toggle using the equalizer on there but I did manage to her the full DSP effects to work so just mess around with it and open DSP manager and toggle stuff on and off
Sent Via Nexus 7

Alright, it's working just fine now. Playing a song in GoneMad sounds exactly the same as playing it in Apollo. Thank you!

I just tested this and to get the best results if you are using PowerAMP install the latest verion of DSP Manager and it's drivers (I will have a flashable zip up soon) and have the least distortion in the sound I set the following options:
Replay Gain: both options set to -12.0db
Replay Gain: Enable apply and prevent clipping to peak
Equalizer: Flat
Equalizer: Enable
Limit: Enable

Hi I downloaded this version but the MusicFX setting in Audio-> Advanced tweak says, it is not supported by ROM. im using Xperia Neo V with CM10 based Super Jelly Bean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108632.
Pls help.

Re: [MOD] CM DSP Manager Patch For PowerAMP & PlayerPRO
Hmm, that's odd, I'll look into it... Try downloading poweramp build 521 instead of 519, also you might be having this problem because these new versions haven't been officially released and are probably still a WIP

In your opinion, how would you compare the sound from Acid versus DSP Manager?
I prefer DSP Manager over pure Poweramp as DSP sounds cleaner, wider, with better dynamic range. My only issue for now is I have random skipping from DSP Manager, which also happens with Cyanogen's Apollo player, so I know its not Poweramp but DSP Manager.

Re: [MOD] CM DSP Manager Patch For PowerAMP & PlayerPRO
You might have to try a different ROM and also acid is only an audio manager it has sound enhancing features but it doesn't have an equalizer so you can use it with the DSP manager

[Q] What should I know about using PowerAmp and Viper4Android together?

I just downloaded PowerAmp (love it so far) and am also continuing to use Viper4Android. Is there anything I should know about -- things to avoid, tips, etc.? For instance, is it OK to use both equalizers at the same time?

Why would you want to use both the equalizers at the same time?? The sound will surely be not up to the mark! Use the V4A FIREequalizer!
If you are having problems with PowerAmp, you first need to do this: Go to PowerAmp Settings - Audio - Advanced Tweaks. Now disable Direct Volume Control and enable Music FX!
If you have any more concerns about V4A, you need to read the official thread : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
and the Nexus 5 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/viper4android-t2543796

When you install V4A direct volume control is now 'non supported' by default (at least on the latest slimkat).
Enabling musicfx did nothing for me (I left it on anyway).
V4A did not work in compatibility mode for me, I had to run it in 'normal' mode, and turn the poweramp EQ off, so far everything is working good. I can't really tell a difference when I switch preset settings on the equalizer though..so that might not actually be working for me

I was having problems as well, Poweramp didn't want to cooperate with V4A. What I noticed is that Poweramp was still using Android's default equalizer so what I've done is I disabled MusicFX app and reboot the phone. Poweramp started using V4A thanks to that

I can sum it up in an acronym.....P.I.T.A.

You sir are amazing. I've been struggling for days trying to get Viper4android to work with PowerAmp. The answer was to uncheck direct volume control in the advanced tweaks. Everything is all good now. My ears and my brain thank you!!
