Just wondering what new music apps are out there. I tried a lot of the "big" music players (poweramp, 3 cubed,mortplayer, meridian, playerpro, winamp ,doubletwist..etc) and i'm kinda bored with them. I would like them to have good features (eq,album art, etc) and and a good ui but that's about it.
Only thing I really use is Google Music, other than that I use deadbeef. Though Winamp is a close second for me.
Like you, I've tried a few music apps here and there, but (not surprisingly) none even come close to what you can do on a computer.
And btw... It doesn't seem like you meant to post this in the Dev section so I'm not going to flame you for that
But you should pm deca or whoever is our mod to get this moved

ZuneHD UI is really easy to use at least.. How are the features on it though?

It's the whole package for me. It has great themes, 5 or 6 different widgets, a custom status bar while playing music, it shows album art as the background on the now playing screen, and a ton of other stuff. It's just really well designed and very fast and smooth on my hero. I've been using it since closed beta.
It's minimalist when you first install it but slap a theme on it (win7 theme is a good free one) and go through the settings to activate the advanced features and you can't beat it. And its newer to the market with a great dev so its gonna get more features in the future.

I've been playing with this player a few days now and it seems to be working pretty damn well for a leaked version. I found it off google when it was leaked. The UI is amazing
I saw it come up in the epic 4g section when i made this post. I did a search and couldn't find it in the captivate theme/app section so I'd thought I post it here. Enjoy.
isn't that the gingerbread MP? i dont think ANYTHING from honeycomb is released/known about

I'm not sure. When I found it it was labeled honeycomb.
well they have this video over at engadget if you want to see it in action a bit : http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/05/google-shows-off-android-3-0-the-entirely-for-tablet-honeycom/
This player is pretty cool. Not to fond of the UI colors and such but with a little work it'll be nice, dark, and perfect.

Dang! How to install it? It won't let me because it's Music app, how can I install it if I already have a stock music app? Some adb push?

Yeah, I'm fairly certain this is from Gingerbread. It's definitely a slick UI though.
I just launched the .apk to install. My phone now has two Music apps, but that might not be a bad thing in case this new one acts up.
Thanks to the OP.

from what iv read in the nexus s forum the best way is to adb push it and also delete or move the old music.apk. they are getting a lot of force closes over there if not done correctly so it could be hit or miss for now.

it's an apk file you can drop it in systems. You can have both players running at the same time and set one as default. I haven't had any issues so far running both

Yes... how are you supposed to sync with your pc library? I have some music on my card but its not finding anything now. I would also like that album view but it doesnt display like the screenshots you posted.
thanks!
I believe it's supposed to sync with Google's cloud system so you don't have to have your music with you but still be able to listen to it.

Hey bud this is the same guy who made LauncherPro. He's got some serious skills!
He definitely does... I wonder if Microsoft would come after him for it though. Possible lawsuit?
This is slick. I have a Zune and love it. This looks great.

Word, there are several decent music apps out there but not enough quality launchers
I have been using this since yesterday and it really does rock. I know what you mean about the lack of rewriting on LP, but I do like this player.
Thunderbolt says end of line.
The only thing I'm not understanding in this app is when you have already played a song, where is the "now playing" button or screen? I can only access it from the notification bar right now. Am I missing something?
It's definitely missing a lot of things, like a settings menu for example.. I'm not sure if he ported software files straight off of the zune and tweaked it a bit or built it from the ground up.. but its still a beta and hopefully more options to come soon from him... amazing work
I guess if better download now before it gets taken off. Thanks!
I installed it and.when i open it i keep getting force close.
Somebody please get this up and going for the xoom
I was about to side load it....see how that goes.
XOOM
Why bother? It's a POS compared to WordFeud.
I was just going to install this when I noticed the app doesn't install on Xoom. I must say this makes me really disappointed and brings a huge spotlight to splintered status of Android.
That said, I find it hard to blame Google solely. I much rather blame EA. Its not like they couldn't have made the app work on both platforms.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I side-loaded it. It works but not great. It is 1/4 screen and has graphical issues in the unused space. The music sucks too. I haven't gotten to play a game yet but the game does seem to run and the HC3.2 full screen trick will probably handle the screen size issues.

Can you post a link to the APK, I would like to give it a go even though it apparently only partially works. Or send to [email protected] Thanks!

I loaded it on my TB, haven't tried moving it to my Xoom yet...
It is disappointing that this new Free version doesn't support "local" play only... or play against the "computer."

That would be warez, unless of course you are asking for the trial version. The trial version does suck a$$ though. See below.

+1 It is pointless for me, i just wanted to grab a quick me vs computer game to try it before i buy it.
There was a free version of scrabble. So that would not be warez. Anyone know where to find the apk in the file system? I can pull it from my TB or tab.

Hi guys! I'm making this thread because I want to be introduced to new apps and widgets that I've never heard about before!
What are your favorite apps and/or widgets and why are they your favorite? What makes them so special to you?
Tell me all about them! Post pics if you want also... I think this will also help you guys learn about more apps and widgets too!
Seems Like a Good Idea.

This should really be, in Android themes or Android apps and games.
Off topic is for anything NOT related to phones.
Also, note to everyone:

Quite right.
There are more suitable places for threads like this (device specific forums as well as the Android general forums), and if you search in them you will find that these threads already exist.

An elderly relative of mine shall be getting herself a Nexus 7 tomorrow, which she plans to use mainly for e-Reading plus a bit of media usage in the form of BBC iPlayer. I was looking for an easy-to-use interface for her. Any launcher recommendations or simple customisations to make it just a little bit easier? I am sure she could use it as is, but making it easier so I don't have to teach her so much will be good.
How elderly? Talk back might be nifty. I tried it once, it was annoying as hell though

Instructions are poor. You get a quick startup guide on paper and then have to open the book section to read the user manual. I find it harder to learn about a system when I an constantly flipping from the manual to a page to try out what I was reading.

I was more just on about launchers which would allow her to have a nice, clean UI that isn't too cluttered.
Anyone know of such a launcher?

Thanks. I can install Apex on my Galaxy Note, so I'll fiddle around and see what I can do on it.
Just empty the desktop from every single icon . Than..
1.on home screen Add icons that this person will use the most e.g BBC iPlayer (not sure bits going to work without flash), chrome, play store and a nice looking clock widget or something
2. Set each other screen with categories e.g one for books where you place the appropriate widgets and icons . One for videos and one for whatever else like notes calendar and other productivity ....
3. Do that person a favour and download some games .. yes games . You'd be surprised how often older people like to play ... ideal games would be mahjong, card games , also things like Bejeweled ,Zuma, scrabble type games
Stock android launcher is good enough trust me you just have to know how to organise it. Also wait for chameleon that might change things
