[Q] Play Music yellow tinted album covers? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, I have an issue with the latest version of Google Play Music. Music added after the major app update (the one after I/O) will have album covers with a yellow/greenish tint. I have tried clearing app data and rebooting, and the images look perfect on my computer and the phone gallery.
I added a few screenshots so you can have a look at what I mean. There's also a comparison between the same image in Play Music and the gallery. The difference can't be seen on my PC screen, but if you download the pics to the phone the difference is easily spottable.
Do any of you have this? To verify, you should add new music to the app, otherwise you'll see no difference.

Nope it's fine on mine....

Have you added new music since the I/O update? It's easier to see if the album art has a white background.

Hmmm, strange. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work either. I'm sure it's not a fault on my side though.

Google Music, Camera and more to be on Market

Android and Me has recently posted information on their site that the new Music, Camera and Gallery apps will soon be available on the Android Market.
The aim is said to help remove fragmentation but also allow users to install these apps on Sense, Touch Wiz and other versions of Android.
I've tried the new Music app (the only one that appears to be leaked at the moment) and it's working a treat on my CM7 ROM. I now have two Music apps as one is registered as com.android and the other as com.google.
Hit up the Android and Me website for further info that I can't type in fast enough.
Enjoy

Dude, could you upload your Music app and share with the rest of us?

Just installed the music app on coredroid 5.8
It works pretty nice, and it is beautiful. I can finally see some nice design in googles latest android work. My hopes for icecream are big.
Aaaanyways: Does someone happen to have the camera app as well? The techfrom10 servers are down.
-edit
attached apk of music app
Thanks for attaching that. I wasn't sure how to do that from the XDA app

I tried the Music App (Thanks for the link.)
It's the usual type of thing really.
The background colours change as zoric mentioned.
Here are a few screenshots:
I tried installing but they keep foreclosing. Presently i'm on stock 1.84 or I need to be rooted to make it to work.

same here. Only the music app works for me.
music worked for me (stock 1.3~ rom)
gallery just FC'd
camera installed...but didnt actually do anything other than mess up the camera's recording ability (dropped to 1-2fps!)
once uninstalled the camera error remained
flashed android revolution 3.3 to bring the camera back
music works again
not going to bother with gallery and camera now! lol

Xperia Arc Issues & Suggestions

Hi All,
Just spent few hours with my ACR (silver)
just have some concerns & suggestions:
1. The back of the phone is very slippery.
Suggestion: Just purchase a transparent case from Sony shop
2. NOT able to play various video files using arcMedia, is there any solution?? These files were working on my X10i.
3. Facebook contact pics are blurred during call, any solution??
There's lots of Video players on the market that will play other formats.. someone was suggesting vplayer in a thread I read the other day, but all my vids are mp4 so I don't have a problem..
Facebook stores the pics at low res so when the phone syncs your contact pics to your phone then you get a low res pic.. nothing you can do about that other than putting your own contact pics on there..

1. If you press the home button while charging + screen off, nothing happened and got your phone to show a blank screen and you need to release the battery.
2. HEAT PROBLEM! My old X10i with 9 background application is more cooler than this thing, hope next update from SE solve this problem.
I have none of those problems till now
Only the extreme washed out screen when the angle is not direct is a little disturbing but I think it's normal to be shocked when coming from Amoled to LCD

You Tube offline watch it later. Possible ?

The last version of youtube enables the preloading (caching) of all the videos you add in the watch later playlist. But it needs to be online in order to play them, for some crappy reason. Is there a way to bypass that and play all the videos in "watch later" while offline?
Some info on this feature and the crap reason.
YouTube, careful to draw a distinction between this and total downloading of its vids (which breaks its terms of service), is careful to point out that you’ll still need to be online for the first second when you press play.

Guys, he doesn't want a YouTube downloader. He wants to be able to play the video the official YouTube app caches but while offline. OP, I didn't know you could do this, I'll look around for a way.

I can't get on WiFi at the moment but, I'm thinking that YouTube would store the videos on your phone. I'm thinking in the /data partition under one of the YouTube apps folders. I'll check later tonight once I have WiFi.

Just use a YouTube down loader. I know its one extra step but if its worth the extra step then do it.
Use PVSTAR+ as player - it searches and shows youtube vids, and stores them in a cache. You can also copy them out of the cache and they are normal mp4 files. (it also has a mp3 mode, which only downloads the music part it seems). The app also runs in background and with screen off. Completely replaced youtube app with it.
(it also searches on dailymotion and i think you can add other sites)

Best Music Player

Hello all. I'm looking for your opinions on which music player is the best out there.
While I like the interface of the stock TW music player, there's one thing that bugs the crap out of me. If a band name starts with the word "The", the band falls in the T's. For example, The White Stripes are in the T's not the W's.
So what are your thoughts? I've tries Poweramp and it's decent. But I'm looking to try others.

I use poweramp more than anything, lots of options and good UI , heres the link in play srore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Also the full base mod is awesome, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301190 a great app to use also is faux audio sound

The last two days I've been looking for good music player too.
I had been using n7player because I like the user interface of it. However since I added my external 64gb SD card I have not been able to add music to it from the card. I can play music off of the card using that player but it can't locate it automatically. It can locate music off the internal storage fine.
I tried Power amp and had the same problem. Winamp was able to identify the music fine.
Im assuming its a format issue as I'm using exFAT instead of fat32.
At this point I'll say Winamp but I like n7 player the best

I use tunewiki. Its easier to use and feels more stream lined imo plus it has lyrics which is nice
Of all the players I've tried I still prefer Neutron. Just seems to sound better. Subjectively, of course.
El Mono
MPlayer
I like the stock player on the Samsung Galaxy S4, but Winamp sounds just as good and the pro version comes with EQ. I would suggest just putting the first letter of the song before the word "the". So, instead of "The Black Crows" it would be "BThe Black Crows". This will fix the order of songs, but it does look awkward.
Player pro here. It also plays videos

Oooo...good question!! I love sony's media apps!! I wish we had a camera made by sony. That's what I really miss the most. My xperia x10's 8mp camera, made in 2010, still takes pictures that are far better quality than most 8mp cameras being made today.
There is a ported xperia honami (?) rom in the android dev section that would have all of these. I can't say I've flashed it yet, but I'm pretty sure all the base sony apps work with that one. Historically, though, sony's apps require the entire xperia framework to be ported over, though, for any of the apps to work on other roms. It's not just a simple apk install, unfortunately.
My dream is to have a sony-made xperia nexus that uses vanilla aosp android, but still offers all of the sony apps on top...just not their UI
Isn't this working?
