Add www and .com around android police (i'm too new)

According to the article the streaming music doesn't work but im assuming if the cm team hacked wimax they can hack this.

@verse187 yea, im running lithids gb cm build w/ stock kernel and adw launcher (which is the best 3 dollars i have spent at this point in my life) and it has not fc'ed or been buggy at all on my 45 min commute
Not to impressed with this myself
from my phone duh
It works on myn 4.95 thanks
Swyped from Eva my Mynion running Myn's RLS4.95!
why doesnt it say what music im playing on my notification bar when i pull down
@menendez its a standalone app... we dont have gps on gingerbread yet so i wouldn't expect any integration of this for quite some time... it doesn't give controls at the lock screen either
I think it's pretty slick looking. Plays music fine with no force closes on Warm 2.2. It does show up in my notification bar while music is playing, but it just says the process name.
Kinda slow on my incredible, but plays music fine. Notifications and etc is not functioning correctly in this leak though
Is it just me or are there not any options to repeat a song(s)?
Well I know I picked my phone up and it wouldn't show ANY of my music. Had to go into Settings > Application > Music > Force Stop. That will fix that
i also found out that it bugs out if you exit i=the app and put it in the background
i also found out that it bugs out if you leave the app open

If you're on CM, you add lock screen music control via lock screen controls menu.

Perhaps try the latest nightly, I installed it again just for kicks and it worked for me again. Just installed and it went through, no fc's.
Does anyone have a working link to the app. I just clicked on the one at Android Police and it says it's not working anymore. Maybe if someone could put it in there dropbox and send me a link

Works really well! the ui interface is way better then before
Hey I tried this app and really nice ... only problem is with album art in library mode..It do not take album art assigned from SD card in library mode.
This beta has been released for public more than 2 weeks ago. Very nice one.
Yeah, I was very surprised that it hadn't broken in the Android news circles well before it did.
Thanks for sharing! This caused me to buy PowerAmp. The widget is really nice!
I wonder if the people that bought the original will get the new improved version for free
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Of course, when you install this beta it recognises your paid license.
Can beta be installed together with 1.x version or is this an upgrade?
M. Speksnijder
It's an upgrade and will replace your existing PowerAMP installation.
Hands, down, the BEST player I have ever used! I've lost any interest in other apps and equalizers - I can't believe I've just come across this
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
I've been with PowerAMP for quite a while, but even so I was aware of it for quite come time before I tried it - totally kicked myself when I did get round to it! Installed the trial and listened to a couple of tracks, immediately went to the Market and purchased it.
Thanks for this...better design than before. Equalizer in more enhanced with a couple of new features such as limit, mono, and stereo x. Also have added a 7dB Equalizer Band in Advanced Tweaks - PowerAMP keeps getting better!
I love power amp, only real issue i am having with this beta tho is the equaliser refuses to stay set on whatever i set it as. Even if i turn the equaliser off, when the next track starts the it turns on again and reverts to preset 1!
Only seems to happen with earphones plugged in!
So far, the beta seems much friendlier...
EDIT: Except for the folder selection, it loads, then again and again
Yep, there are definitely a few bugs that need sorting.
I was having issues with custom EQs, but for whatever reason they seem to have sorted themselves now... EQ seems to be consistently reported problem though.
I don't use folders, so hadn't come across that problem - thanks for letting us know (hope you've fed back to the dev!).
I downloaded it, i tried it and i approved it very quickly.
I'm surprised whenever I read someone is still using Beats to listen to their music. And then I just kinda laugh.

I have both beats and Poweramp....Poweramp puts beats to shame. The only issues I've seen is that it forgets album art on some songs and goes back to a generic album art. Also if I clik on menu, more then settings app crashes? Any one else?
I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!

Update (9/7/2012): New Tasker Support for changing profiles in Wave Control!
Update 31/08/2012: Jelly Bean users are getting force closes in the Play Store app when navigating to Wave Control -- The free version's apk is available to download on this post. Please if it's working for you in Play Store download from there.. I need the install count
Wave Control uses the proximity sensor to detect hand gestures to control music/movie playback (free version) and more (paid version).
I developed this originally on the Note and luckily it happened to have one of the best proximity sensors (at least for my uses). Now I've moved on to the SGSIII and it works just as well! Works best on the SGSIII, Note and Galaxy Nexus. Not so great on HTC phones and SGSII due to their particular sensors (much slower).
Performance will vary depending on which sensor your phone uses. All HTC phones use the same slow one. Samsung uses about 3 different vendors and more models.. most are good, Sony is usually ok, Motorola is a mixed bag. I try to account for some of the differences in the sensors. But be aware you may have to wave at a different speed than in the youtube videos.
There are 4 basic gestures:
-Hover
-1 Wave
-2 Waves
-3 Waves
By default they correspond to Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Enable/Disable Controls respectively.
In the Pro version or upgraded free version, they can be remapped to any of those plus: Screen Toggle On/Off, Volume Up, Volume Down, Launch Google Voice Search, Fast Forward, Rewind, and do nothing.
Popular uses are:
When driving, don't have to take your eyes off the road to try to hit a button
When your hands are dirty so you don't smear crap all over your phone like when cooking or working on car
While on the computer, you don't have to bother waking the phone to change the song (works even when the screen is off)

I am trying the free version for now. I really like the app so far. I do have one issue though and maybe the paid version fixes this. When I have it turned on but not in use per se, I start texting in landscape mode and it will toggle on/off the music constantly even when I am not planning on listening to music. I did look through the settings and only option I see that works is to have the app turned off while I am texting/or using the keyboard for anything like typing in this reply via xda app. Is it possible to implement a setting that IF the phone e is in landscape or IF the keyboard is in use that it overrides the app turn I g music on?
Again I am only using the free version right now for testing and will plan on using the paid app once I like the setup. Thanks and this is a great idea.

Hmm. That's the same version I have on my stock SGSIII.
I wonder if it's a Jelly Bean thing. Someone in the Galaxy Nexus thread had the same issue. I have no idea why it would be a Jelly Bean thing though.
I've been using this app since April and have a pro copy of it because I loved how original the app was and how well it worked. I find it useful when I'm driving to change my songs. Great to see this finally land on XDA.

Still doesn't work for me. I tried going to market and used the search bar for wave control. It finds it and I click on it and play store crashes. Again I went to other apps and can view them with no issues. I can update apps no issues. Next I wiped data for the play store, re-accepted once I reopened it, try to go to wave control and it still will force close.
I already have it from the browser version but wanted to test for you.

So essentially this post was just to say: you and this app are awesome, thanks for existing haha.

How about tasker integration? I would love to be able to activate/deactivate from within tasker. Another cool feature would be able to change the "key mapping" from within tasker. Say at some point I want 3 waves to turn on the screen, yet at sone other point it should simply do nothing.

When listening to music I realised that when I lock the screen it makes an horribly sound for a sec or two and then the music continues just fine.
I think its because the lockscreen sound!

Same happens on CM 11.
Someone knows how to fix it?

I also had jarring sounds when playing music and pressing pause or other media keys as well as the lockscreen (N7105).
Disabling both lockscreen and screen touch sounds fixed it for me. However, I also found that the problem only occurred when using Soundpacks - default system sounds caused me no issues with any settings.
Bug in Rom for i9100
Hello,
the rom is pretty awesome and really fast so far. I have noticed only one problem with the vvs app which i use as a ticket in my local traffic system. When opening the ticket a light background - which should be there - appears, but only for a short time. Then the text overlay is displayed, but since the light background is replaced by the colour black, one can't read any information. I please you to fix this problem. It would be totally awesome if i could use my ticket again.
Tank you,

So this morning I noticed that 8.0 is available for my device, single SIM XZ Premium. So I immediately upgraded.
After testing things out, I found out that there is no way to get notification dots and PiP to work.
As for the dots, the dot does appear on the App icon. However long pressing the icon doesn't bring up any notifications. I only get the standard delete and app info options. And for certain apps the quick launch functions, such as New Tab for Chrome etc. I can't get notification dots to work. I made sure I didn't disable it accidentally, as it took me a couple of hours to comprehend what the hell notification channels are, and what Notification dots are called in my language (hungarian).
But no, I have it enabled on a system level, and on an app by app level as well. For the apps I've tested. Messenger, Viber, some misc. apps I use. I've read that on Pixel phones, only the stock launcher supports the dots. Is it possible somehow the Xperia stock launcher didn't get support? Would be a major oversight, but I mean it is possible.
Also PiP doesn't work either. I checked, and it is enabled for all my apps that support it. Tried it with Netflix, Chrome playing full screen video, VLC player. For VLC you have to also enable an in app setting, but it still doesn't work with any of them. I can't try with YouTube since my country still doesn't have Red. Also I heard the Google Maps app is still rolling out pip in updates, so I didn't bother with that either.
Is this an issue for anyone else too, or am I missing something?
So far I'm enjoying Oreo, my phone became super fast, which shocked me, as I didn't expect this much of a speed difference. Animations look a lot smoother. And I'm really starting to dig this new notification channel thing. Really helps me customize all my different app notifications.
I have only been able to get pip working with google maps and chrome when playing a video, but I had to try it twice for chrome to actually do it, since then it has been working without issue though. For notifications I have the same thing where the quick options show up but not the notification, to view the notifications I still have to pull down the notification bar. I tried netflix and youtube but pip refused to work, it just kept going to the homescreen, I haven't tried vlc.
I will also say that I am enjoying Oreo and how much faster the phone is, it shocked me as well because it really is significantly snappier when jumping between apps or going back to the homescreen and opening something new. I have also actually started using the google assistant and some of the features it provides.
Just install internet beta from Samsung... And you have picture in picture...

Interesting. I've tried out Maps just now and it indeed does work. I don't know what's the problem with the other apps then...
Notification dots still don't work though. Also I haven't been able to use the instant apps either. The option never comes up. Wish shopping app supposedly has an instant app version, but no matter what, I can't use it in instant version, Only full install.
Also adaptive icons aren't that adaptive, as the stock Xperia launcher has no option to choose which icon variation I want to use (square, round, teardrop etc)
I also haven't been able to figure out how to use the Autofill framework, which would give me the same options for autofill within the OS as I get with Chrome on web forms.
These features seem to be just straight up missing, or I don't know where to find them.

I went to a gaming site that I knew had videos, once there I started playing a video in full screen and then double tapped the home button and it put the video in pip mode. Maybe it only works with certain websites or online video players? I will try a couple other sites and see if they all work or not.

That's what we're saying, we can't get pip to work with youtube, netflix, or vlc. I really want to use pip mostly for youtube and netflix, so until I am able to do that I really don't care that much about this feature.
You can still move or delete apps in the menu, but you can now decide what press + hold on an app does when going to the settings of the app folder/launcher.
Update
I have downloaded Nova launcher and Lawnchair launchers, and neither seems to support the Oreo features, but instead it seems they have their own implementation of app shortcuts and badges.
So the problem has to be with the Xperia Home launcher.

Youtube currently blocked the workaround with the 'window' keycode. however there's OG Youtube - it's a modded youtube which has a recent youtube version as base. It has PiP, background playback and an option to download the video. Although the PiP is what i'm looking for. So far there are no downsides. You need to get XDA labs which has a pretty cool repo.

That's what we're saying, we can't get pip to work with youtube, netflix, or vlc. I really want to use pip mostly for youtube and netflix, so until I am able to do that I really don't care that much about this feature.
You can still move or delete apps in the menu, but you can now decide what press + hold on an app does when going to the settings of the app folder/launcher.

PIP works with VLC. Enable background playback in VLC settings . Only thing is it doesn't work like chrome where you just have to press the home button. In this case you have to select PIP mode(bottom left option in the attached screen shot) before you switch to any other app.
You need youtube red subscription for pip.
1. PiP works fine. Though you need a red subscription for Youtube in order for it to work with Youtube.
2. Instant apps work fine for me. There was this tetris game I was able to play without installing.
3. Autofill works fine too.
4. Long tapping the app icon doesn't seem to bring up notifications. Disappointing, since I was really looking forward to that feature.

There are plenty of features that are not here..... Another obvious example is the xperia dialer app. which is on the same 3.0.0 version as it was in August and looks nothing like it's advert.
It's more of a marketing thing. Look here! Look here! Shiny!Yet I believe most of those presented features will arrive at some point in time under Oreo and that's why they were presented - not as a done thing but more of a 'soon to arrive'. FYI notification dots are still not available on the beta release. Hopefully more updates will come.... sometime.... maybe spring next year? :laugh:
Didn't know PiP required YouTube red, useless, it's like YouTube is trying to destroy itself with everything they do recently.
It seems like we are in a full beta test, and would go on until oreo 8.1 would be released.... It's astonishing Google Pixel and Pixel 2 have a lot of problems and bugs with oreo update XD
