Anyone who has installed the froyo beta, could you give us details of what's included

For example, what music player is included? Vanilla or touch wiz? What are the 5 radio buttons they used in the notification pull down? Can you still adjust the brightness by sliding your fiber across the notification bar at the top, do we have a video player app, etc.
Add what you feel is important. Thanks

wifi, bluetooth,gps, silent, 4g
as long as automatic brightness is off then yes
The video player app is there
as for music app i have no clue..i didnt use it much before..
on top it has
All, Playlists, Albums, Artists

If you don't mind, start a track playing in the music player and then back out to the homescreen. Then pull down the notification bar. Are their music controls in there? Lock the screen. Unlock it and check up top, is there a half a disc up top that you can pull down to reveal music controls?

Yes. Its there, just like EE rom. This is TW 3.0.

Nope..couldn't find the option to go into Kies Mode :/

So far this is sounding really awesome! I only could wish for the fascinate lock screen. Other thanthat, looks like we get all the goods.
Do we have that new beach live wallpaper?

What about wireless tethering? Is the Froyo version there and does it work if it is? Or did Sprint take it out?

Craw, let's be a little realistic here. Why would Sprint include the FREE tethering when they have a product they're selling for $30/month?
NO US Carrier, and I can't think of ANY carrier at all, will include the tethering for free. I'm pretty sure Google just added it as a feature so it was easier for the carriers to implement their own (paid) solution.

Beach one is there..but some of the other ones that were on the phone aren't there anymore
As for tethering, no Froyo one..Sprint Hotspot is there...(doesn't work with 4g though..fail)
There is a USB Tether option..but I have not tested it.

Which live wallpapers are missing? Most likely I can replace them if I back up what I have now in my epic?
Also, can you edit the tw3.0 home screen like on the fascinate? Can you edit the dock?

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

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!!

Music player 3.0 (official Google)

here it is:
http://techfrom10.com/2011/04/the-android-test-market/
works like a charm on Cyanogenmod 7 RC4, even lockscreen commands, replaced old music.apk with new one in system/app (s-off or via adb)
enjoy!
cheers

I agree it works great - a big improvement from the previous leak.

Larger than Winamp (7MB as opposed to 3MB once installed)

How did you get the lockscreen commands working? I had nothing. I'd maybe use it then as it does look nice, but Winamp has a better widget, plus lock screen.

It is force closing on my desire using gingervillian... any ideas?
it is working on my Viewpad 10s not optimal but useble..

Mine keeps saying "application not installed". I'm using oxygen 2.0.3. Any ideas?

I cant get it to install. I says application not installed everytime. I read somewhere that i has to do with the fact that i installed the older leaked version. How do i remove the old version completely?

Yes. That would be nice.

Not good... tried a few things.. looks ok .. uninstalled

buggy on oxygen 2.0.3
I really liked the interface though it is quite minimal so it's a shame that:
interface is slow to load and lags (not just on first load)
scrobbling gets very confused (last.fm doesn't know what to do and flashes scrobbling notification repeatedly).
uninstalled.
edit
downloaded a different version from some forum after reading an article about syncing music with latest music app. seemed to work very smoothly indeed.

I installed the one from here: Official Android Music 3.0 Beta! Get It Now!.
It works fine with the MIUI 1.4.8. But I'm missing some features like sleep timer, editing ID3-Tags. But I like the interface.

Is there a way of making this the default music app and having it work with the HTC Lockscreen? I Like it other than that.

I don't like it at all. It looks quite cheap compared to the older version... and compared to other players, including the stock HTC music player. Also, why so laggy?

thanks for this...

gooooooooood

[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

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.

I have this 'ACC' folder not system/customize/aac... is it the same?
EDIT: NVM got it...

cheers for that, why that isnt there by default is beyond me, awesome. im running stock aswell

So what is music channel and what does it do for me. I enabled it and don't see any difference so far. Thanks though.

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.

This feature is already there just no such special dedicate button popup at notification.
During playback of song, scroll to right at main music player (from now playing to visualizer) and you will get the exact same thing.

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.

Oh others music apps. That I didn't use others apps.
But for HTC own apps, it is there.

I'm using it now with Amazon Prime. Is there a way to turn off the lyrics and just have the visualizations?
