New CM music App!!

So, I guess this could be in the 'apps sections' but since I am not the developer of that app, I decided I would make it more of an informational post.
So, I have to first admit I do a little CyanogenMod "stocking" if you will (don't lie, you do too ). While scrolling through the gerrit review board, I happened to notice this http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,1797 .... If you scroll down and read the comments, it appears CM officially has a new music app!!!
So I went and checked out the app (search market for 'cubed', it's the fourth one down by 'Filipe Abrantes'). I find it to be pretty awesome visually, tho I miss some of my features from the current CM music app. I'm sure in due time, all features will find there way there!! It does have a few donate 'nag screens' which if you do your own CM stocking can find comments about here https://github.com/kmobs/rockonnggl/commit/025cbdeeda334722ca48d7ba9acb6479148964a3#comments
Let me be the first to says this is awesome, as the stock music app is terrible. Just wanted to 'spread the word' if you will, let me know what everyone thinks of this new music app, good OR bad!!

this cubed music player has been in the market place for a while. You can google reviews of the app since last year. Glad they decided to put it in though, so thankx for the info

It's already in the "unofficial" builds.. don't like it

i played with it a bit, its pretty nice, still think i'll be sticking with poweramp though. Music3 is just missing a couple features that i need from poweramp (namely the eq,the built in one in CM isnt quite as good and the way it processes the music folders)

I use cubed daily. I don't need eq.

I'm sure any and all features that *can* be added will... just gotta wait and see....
I agree its not the greatest settings wise now that I've had more usage... but visually its a nice app...
Now lets see what added cm SPUNK can bring to it!!

Search for pub:"Filipe Abrantes"

been using this player for a long time hopefully CM fixes its quarks like album covers getting unmatched etc..

For us who like the stock music app better, what would be the best way to install it back and uninstall the one that comes with CM?

I'm sure you could do it with Titanium Backup. Open titanium. Press and hold the app. Uninstall. Install the Music.apk from somewhere else.

CM6 uses Music Mod (by Elliot Stocker) as the default player. I don't really like cubed either.

I know when CM7 Official comes out, I'll be reverting back to the original music app. I've had nothing but problems with Music3. IE: unplugging headphones and app freaks out and starts skipping/playing songs, the "Queue" list doesn't list all my songs in the playlist(most of which are over 500 songs.)

try powerAMP if u want some EQ with bass and treble for your ears.

Definitely the best music player on the market.

I just like how it updated the info from the internet included album art... and has a full screen widget that displays the album art.
does powerAMP do this?
[UPDATE]
PowerAMP looks like it does the same thing except its $4 or $5
http://powerampapp.com/

Download and Install this. I believe you all may like it. (Ginger Bread Roms ONLY)

FYI
it appears to me that @chrissoyars reverted the CM repo back to the old music play last night... Just an FYI, so we will see what happens!!

[APP] New Android Music Player [Closed; Use Market]

UPDATE: Well, now it's no longer 'leaked' and is a beta on the market if you want it. Google Music Beta accounts are currently US-only.
Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?...ic&rdid=com.google.android.music&rdot=1&pli=1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new Android Music player that mimics the version seen on Honeycomb is leaked. It works flawlessly on my Optimus One P500 CM7b5. Download the .apk and use your favourite file manager to install it.
Screenshots attached.
Note: Most of the settings are disabled as this is not a final release. But things to expect are:
Settings (disabled currently):
- Sync with Google Account(?)
- Hide unavailable music
- Cache Music
- Stream music
- Download music
- Download queue

Does not work on stock 2.2 Rom [Rooted]

That is the icon of the app. Looks slicker than the other stock Music apps. I'm excited about Google Cloud Music.

Works on void #echo. Not sure if "flawlessly" or not but the normal functions can be used. Still playing with it.
Edit: it still feels a bit laggy. None of my album covers were displayed (they were displayed fine in other players like stock and PowerAmp).

The sync with Google thing is them having a cloud for our music got a leaked one on the NookColor (worked more but still broken) and there was an option in accounts to sync music to steam later.
That is if the question mark meant you didn't know Features have kinda been promised for a while.

Read about it. Now I know.

was expecting abit more from it , doesnt seem to be changed all that much .. unless they where just planning to update the 2 one with google sync

looks ok for a basic player

Works ok on 2.2.2 V10Q rooted. It's lagging a bit but looks pretty. Much better than the stock one. Thank you

Its on the market its in beta it's ok needs more options and of you use a album cover finder it won't recognize the album covers I dont understand why no one can make a good music player that doesn't suck up to much memory and turn on by itself and also a cool interface like the way you change albums on the iphone I know this one has something like that but it's only for recent and with no album covers I hate it
LG-P500 using XDA Premium App running CM7, ungaze data2sd, over clocked at 787 quadrant score 2100

Working good on openOptimus 1.148,it's integrated in rom

well I miss the ease of clicking the album art on the "Now Playing" screen to get back to my music, instead of clicking the headphones in the top left(Unless i'm missing something obvious here?)
And i'd continue using it if it had a widget.

Nice interface, but no equaliser, which for me means, right to trash. I still prefer PlayerPro :/

gonna try it out

YES!!!!!!
Yo man thanx alot lol this is amazing and with the CM7 mod on my optimus that lets u eq my cell phone music experience is alot better lol.

amazing ty bro!!!!!!!!

[APP] [ICS] Music v4.0 [APP]

Hey everyone!
Here's the music app pulled from new android ICS.
It runs smooth and I really like it.
First time it will take a bit to load all your music.
Installation: just install it as a regular apk. It will do fine.
(do a backup just in case)

Actually, it ain't different :/ but I thought it would be correct since it's only available in the us through the market.
All in one, I thought it would be nice to leave this registered in the forum for others

I installed the first one and it's a bit slower than version 3...

$omator,
Is there any possibility of getting that coverflow of the recent tab on the artists tab in landscape?
Ty

i do not understand ) what is coverflow

That neat effect of scrolling through the album covers. It only appears in landscape in the recent tab.. :/ I would like to have that same effect but on the artists tab, is that possible to hack?

that is in fact very good question
same as where is ability to set particular soundclip as a ringtone
i think those features will get updated (and maybe more added) with next updates rolling out

It's a pity that we can't use this app to select the ringtone... I hope Google will add this in the near future!

Yeah, it's a shame.. They'll certainly add that in the next update. I just wish they would put that album cover scrolling effect in the artists tab and the others

unfortunatly it is not available in all countries

pro tip: you can activate google music via proxy and then use it normaly
t least tht was what ive done when was invited to beta

the cloud is if you change proxy.
if you just want the player, you can download the apk attached to the first post
OR
you can download "market enabler" from the market, choose an american provider, go to market and download google music (it should be there after changing to a us carrier)

thanks man!

Thanks dude!

You are both welcome

But on the sgs I get a better sound from the stock player (TWplayer) just by playing with the built-in equalizer and effects ( and the voodoo tweaks of course)
With the ics music player I can easily enable MusicFX and Equalizer apps and play with the settings, but still, I get better results with sgs stock player

Honestly, I don't use this music app. I use poweramp, which is the best player imo.. :b regarding stock music players, I think I prefer this one. But it has a lot to improve, like the miserable lack of setting a song as a ringtone! ahah hope we get that in next updates

mmm finally got it working on teamhacksungs ICS build, a great improvement over the old music app its actually usable now lol

Good things that were removed in Sense 5.5

Ok, so I got my 4.3 and Sense 5.5 update and, altough there a re a lot of improvements, I'm more pissed off because of some stuff they removed or... ahem... added...
- Why did they remove the lock screens? I know the lock screen widgets are accessible through a right to left swipe in the lock screen, but why remove them altogether? For example, I just want to be able to have a different wallpaper for my lock screen than my home screen...
- Why did they remove the old video highlights themes?I very much welcome the added new settings and permissions for the highlights... Honestly, they're a very big deal. But, for the love of God, why remove the old themes? My favorite (and judging from what I've seen on the internet - youtube, Facebook or HTC Share - "Islandia" is gone... Why?
- Why is the NFC logo pinned in the status bar? Why do I have to see that? I have NFC turned on all the time... :
These are the few things that got me upset about the new Sense 5.5 update. I know that the update has a lot of good new features (and I welcome them all)... But why remove other good features that have been on Sense since I can remember?
Are there other features that have been removed/altered in a bad way?
Please share...
And an UPDATE: I know that they've added a s*it load of new emoticons in the stock SMS app, BUT they made it so that the we cannot see the old ones.
For example, when someone sends me an SMS with an emoticon from HTC One X with Sense 5.0, I just see it as text and they cannot see the new emoticons that I send them... Great thinking HTC (_|_)

Yes. Why the he'll did they removed the medialink hd api?
No more movies on the tv and browsing on the phone at the same time. Really makes the hd medialink useless.

I wonder how long HTC will take to actually understand how things work.
They removed all weather animations in sense 5. And what they provided in that version is now removed in the latest version.
Are they confused?

Can't get my head around removing the old themes. I suppose now that there's custom music available you can use the old music easily enough I would imagine but you can't get the old visual effects back. I love Islandia.
Ridiculous decision, I only went to 4.2.2 and got the six new themes in July, three months and they've removed them?!

It's indeed annoying. I "fixed" this issues with changing NFC on and off via notification toggles or EQS. Thats not a perfect solution but it just takes 2 sec to de-/activate...

Custom music is cool but try to upload your video and have all these warning about copyrighted music etc.
The new themes aren't good or aren't there any themes anymore?
Also, did I read that now the duration of the clip is changeable or am I wrong?

The duration of the clip is variabile, but cannot exceed 30 seconds. Maybe on HTC One Max you can make videos longer than 30 seconds.

That's because the old emoticons were just three-character strings that the messaging app interpreted as a smiley. For example (-: turned into . This caused tons of problems if you were trying to send a more technical text message with tons of parentheses and colons. Now, in Sense 5.5, the emoticons are standard Unicode emoji glyphs that are supposed to be universally compatible with every phone supporting the updated unicode standard. For example, in Android 4.3 (and probably 4.2.2) emojis are partially-implemented. The latest iPhones have a full implementation, as does Google Hangouts (one of the reasons to be excited about Hangouts SMS integration IMO), and now Sense 5.5 has a full implementation of emojis.
The reason your old phone cannot see your new emoticons is because it's either not running a recent enough version of Android or HTC's software on the One X simply does not render the emojis right. Some messaging apps also can strip excess unicode information -- older phones are notorious for this. A simple fix would be to use an alternative SMS/MMS app on the One X, one that fully supports emoji input such as Sliding Messaging Pro, or Textra (don't know if Textra supports ALL of the emoji glyphs, but it has some functionality).
One more note, CM10.x's MMS app also has support for this built-in, so it isn't just some fad that little girls and iPhone users are aware of, it is legitimately an evolving communication standard.

please tell me if you find a way to either downgrade or restore the themes

Also really miss the the ability to disable lockscreens natively. This https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en is somewhat of a workaround for those of you in the same boat, doesn't always work perfectly but I haven't found a better solution yet.

You are right, I was choosing a song that had 26 seconds in my tests and I wasn't paying attention that I cut that song a few months ago to use it as a ringtone. Now I have chosen a song that was 4 minutes and didn't encounter any restrictions.

Enable built in music channel(ROOT)

if you have root you can enable the music channel by editing the default.xml. Using a file explorer navigate through system/customize/aac to default xml and incase your rom doesn't use default.xml, edit the one with your cid, scroll right to the bottom of the default .xml, in that area you will see a line, support_music_channel">false ...change it to true, save, reboot. In settings there should be an option for music channel, now, I donot know if it works without harmon kardon so some feedback would be good from someone using stock adsp.img with boomsound, I cant see why it wont work. Give a try and post your results. Play a song in any music app (supposedly), if music channel is enabled there will be a notification pop up, open the notification draw and tap music channel, you will have access to visualizations and gracenote and an update function for music lryics, I actually think its awesome and don't know why its been disabled.

Thanks for the tip! Just got this working on mt ATT One M8 running nV Rom. It took me a while to get the default.xml to actually save my edits, but what I ended up doing was rebooting to TWRP recovery, mounting /system and using the console to pull up vi and edit the file. Was a bit of a pain, but it looks awesome!

Works great thanks! It was very easy to do. I just edited the file with x-plore and then I changed the permissions back, rebooted and it worked. Btw it worked with BoomSound!

Cool ...nice to hear it works for boomsound aswell, why HTC disabled it is beyond me, the option itself works fine, its gracenotes database that seems to be a bit dodgy, they don't have enough information for lryics, seems its just the most popular albums/tracks, most of the stuff I listen to cant get the lryics, like metric and feedme, think its mainly charts.

Tty and hearing aid enhancement also works ....just enable in default.XML, there's loads of features turned off, these 2 modes are very much needed, well. I can say for sure hearing aid enhancement would be much needed by ppl.

Play some music, if its working properly an icon will pop up in notification draw, open the draw click on music channel and see. It suppsed to detect any music player but I expect theres limitations, works on googleplay and stock ...not tried any other, htc's music player as got a cropped down version of the music channel tied only the that app, this one should be global.

Now that I'm back stock (but still S-Off), can i get this to work?
Before stock, i tried Viper Rom, and this Rom has the channel enabled...

This is rad! Such a fail on their part for having this defaulted to off. I tried it with Google play music and spotify and it worked no problem. I used root explorer to change everything needed and took two seconds. Thank you soooo much!!!!

Yes, will work on stock, its part of htc's rom, its installed because there music app uses it, but htc disabled the global use.

Just enabled it for ARHD 10.2. Fantastic! Thank you!

i have a line for "support_music_ringtone", another line in the same area for "support_outdoor_mode"... nothing that says "support_music_channel" though... any ideas?

For people who cannot get the Lyrics to work it is due to Gracenote country restrictions.
If you cannot get lyrics for music , download any VPN app and browse as a US user.
I personally prefer Tunnelbear.
then after you turn it on go to the music channel , click the menu button then update lyrics..wait a couple of seconds and your lyrics will be there.
I only needed to do this once..it is working now even after i turned VPN off.

Htc's music visualizer's not global/system wide, as wrote above, its in the htc music app but htc disabled it for use on other music apps, It also has its own play/stop/skip buttons in full screen plus, I think it enables a few more visuals but not 100% on that as I never looked in the music app, if someone wants to look before they enable it and give feedback ..that would be great.
