Music player seems to crash and forget Shuffle and Repeat. Anyone else? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The stock music player seems to crash periodically or something is happening where it forgets that Shuffle and Repeat were selected.
Is anyone else experiencing this and does anyone have a workaround?
Thanks,
Etienne66

I have a workaround that is way too obvious. Try another player. I really recommend Poweramp (ability to output 192khz 24 bit) or shuttle.

Personally I do not care for solutions that add advertisements or cost money when the built in application should work properly. However a better alternative would have been VLC. It is free and has no advertisements. I'll give that a try, but I would still like the developers to resolve the issue or at least put it on their todo list.
My main goal was to see if anyone else is experiencing this problem and to see about opening a bug report so that it might be addressed someday. I just don't know if it is limited to the klte branch or if it affects other phones. I was hoping to see how big the issue is. It hasn't worked correctly for years.

I ended up making Google Play Music my default instead of the Android Music. I still prefer Android Music. But oh well...

Certainly. I am rooted. I am running LinageOS version: 14.1-20170426-NIGHTLY-klte. However the problem has persisted since CM12. I had an older Galaxy S3 with I think CM10, that did not have the problem, but that was a long time ago. If you want a log with the problem, I can probably produce that.
I did wipe the phone before going from CM13 to Lineage and I did not restore from backup since I saw warnings against doing that with Titanium Backup.

To be honest. I have never tried the Stock Rom, but I would not think that Samsung would use the Android Music Player. I am currently using Google Play Music instead of the Android Music Player, but I have the widget on my desktop and every time that I see the shuffle and play all un-selected, I select them again. Usually within a few hours they are un-selected again.
I thought about trying the stock ROM, but from what I have seen it is Android 6.0. I guess I will give it a whirl though. Any recommendations on where to download a stock ROM?

yeah, to me, it doesnt sound like its worth the trouble. Id just try different aftermarket music players and stick with what you like the best. The nice thing about your problem, is that there isnt a shortage of music players to choose from, even free ones without ads. Have you tried viper?

I'll stick to Google Play Music until they get Android Music fixed. Which might not be for years since it has already had the problem for years.

Device is rooted? You updated firmware using Samsung Updates in Android version page in config?
Cleaned Cache/Data From music App?
If yes, try to use a other Music App And test.

I am not using Samsung Updates at all. Yes, I'm rooted. I am running LineageOS 14.1-20170426-NIGHTLY-klte. I've been experiencing the problem since CM12. When I upgraded from CM13 to LineageOS 14.1 I wiped my phone including data and then installed clean.

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!!

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!!

[Q] Music app crash with JIBwich

I've just installed the JIBwich rom on my Desire Z.
Everything works fine, except i can't play music.
The music app crashes when i'm trying to start it.
I've installed another music app, but those can't play any music files i've got.
Does anyone have an idea about how to fix this?
I ask it here, because i can't post in the main topic of that rom...
If you looked through the thread, you would have seen that is a common problem with the ROM. The developer said he would include a new music app in an upcoming release.

I've already got the new release (1.2), it was already online on his upload place.
But it's fixed, don't know what the problem was.
I just reïnstalled to rom, but the problem was that I've done this also before creating this thead, and it wasn't fixed.
But with a second reflash, the problem was fixed.
So I needed to flash the rom 3 times, but now it works.
Strange thing...
Stock app isn't very good anyways. Poweramp offers many many more features

Stock apps?

So, I've looked around these forums for any post about the stock apps and I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the stock keyboard and stock music player are. I've looked in my nandroid backup and found like 10 different music apk/odex files and no keyboard apks at all.
Currently, I'm on the latest stable Slimbean ROM and was told that said apps will work on the ROM. Just can't find them.

Well, I didn't try installing it before posting it here, but now that you said it, I did actually try installing it as a user app (which didn't work, and like you, the app installs but fails to launch).
I thought maybe including the additional library file (librsjni.so) would help, so I whipped up a flashable zip which installed the app as a system app with the library file & flashed it in TWRP. It showed up in the app drawer, but like before, failed to launch.
My best guess is that it needs some dependencies to work properly that are only present in LOS & Custom ROMs based on LOS.

That's a shame. Eleven is my favorite music player by far (I just wish it had built in Chromecast support!), And I've had a hard time finding a suitable replacement for the OP5. But hey, props for trying my friend!
If the apk doesn't install get root and put apk in /system/app then set permissions for apk to 644 (Owner R/W, Group and Global R)
Yeah, but there are few apps like Walkman from sony, we have a cracked version of apk which can be installed in many android device without rooting the Mobile. Is there any chance of getting Eleven music player same way !!??

I think you missed my post above where I mentioned I tried doing exactly that and the app just doesn't start. Installation is not an issue even as a user app, making it launch is the deal-breaker as of now.

I think you mean ported not cracked. Proper ports add the missing libraries/dependencies to the apk so that the app can be installed as a standalone app on any device and it'll work, since the libraries/dependencies needed are bundled with the apk, and need not be present in the ROM being used.

I've been using the free version of Shuttle on and off for years. It's honestly my second choice in the line-up of music players out there, but I did have a couple issues with it (mostly artwork related). I might as well purchase it and send some money the dev's way — he still did a pretty damn good job on it, and I'd like to see him continue working on it, even if Shuttle is open sourced now.
Funny how I'll spend hundreds of dollars, no questions asked, on a phone, despite the fact that my previous one was still in perfect condition and could still hold its own against current choices on the market, yet the idea of spending one measly dollar on an app makes me hesitate. :Confused:

I need a stock lg v20 music app

I recently updated my lg ls997 to Oreo, now I want a stock lg music app but can't find it.
I tried that one in apps & themes forum but it doesn't work.
I tried to use apk edit trick and it installed successfully but it crashed after first use and no longer works.
The stock gallery app works fine for me.
But the stock music app doesn't.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does Oreo not include the stock LG Music app like Nougat did? That's surprising.
Perhaps try an apk of the Music app used on the V30 Oreo if it's available?
Or apkmirror.com might have one?

Yes Oreo doesn't include gallery and music stock apps for lg v20 sprint variant.
In apkmirror I found lg music flow player and it works but didn't know is that the stock music player for lg v20? I don't think so.
Tried to find stock lg v30 music player but didn't find it.
You can try this thread

It's for the AT&T version but also mentions APK editor to "sign" an app for your phone.
Good luck

Thanks! That stock music player is working well on my Oreo att v20. It can play dsd music without any issues. Buty my old v10 still sounds better than v20. Since v20 has better DAC, I guess v10 has better amplifier.

For those who want the original LG Music player on their V20 without having to jump hurdles:
This is "com.lge.music 6.20.19", it is LG's version 6.20.19 which I got on APK Mirror. It's the latest version that works perfectly on the AT&T LG V20. Everything works like it's supposed to including the EQ. This is the direct download. Give it a few seconds for the download to show up.

I just went back to my V20 from my V40 because ATT has been detecting my Mobile Hotspot usage the past 2 years no matter the Android hacks and Windows TTL hacks. Come to find out it's Android 10 and beyond that's the culprit. Freaking G fixed it so providers can detect Hotspot through the hacks. I just did a bunch of experimenting and with my V30 (Android 9) and V20 (Android 8), the tether_dun_required "0" hack now works again. I racked up 85 gigs on my 15GB Hotspot allowance and my account still shows only 1.6GB hotspot usage. The V20 is LG's last phone to have 16:9 bright white screen and removable battery anyway so this is where I'll stay.
