Ok, i have a problem.
Whenever I have a program open and i switch to another program after a few seconds my the first program shuts down.
this is very annoying when I play music and put of my phone screen. because when s2u comes up the music stops, so I can't use it as my mp3 player.
The same with opera mobile, when i download a cab and install it i have to restart opera after the installation because it stopped by itself.
I am using korand's clean wm6.1 rom and wktasks.
I had the same problem with a few other wm6 and 6.1 roms.
Any help will be appreciated!
This is because of the way M$ make the ROMs function. The memory (and any programs running from it) is cleared as soon as a foreground task (such as opera) that requires RAM is opened. My suggestion would be to run as few programs as possible, and to change the page pool until it works effectively.
thanks, but i have 16-18 megs of ram free when using coreplayer or tcpmp so that could be the problem with music, right?
with opera i can understand and thats not the biggest issue. i just want to play music ^^
Is TCPMP set to play music when the device is turned off, and is it actually closed or just minimized and paused? Does this happen when S2U is not running (when both iLock and S2U2 are closed)?

When I pause the movie and play again.
The movie is getting very lag.
But if I enter preference setting to set the audio page and back to player.
The movie is good again.
WHY.......
I need help...
Not alot of info to go on there dude, which WM version are you running this on?
One thing you could do is download a tweak app such as HTCustom by shadowmite.....and increase the memory cache levels....this has been known to help with video playback on certain devices.........also go into the advanced settings in coreplayer and enable microdrive mode....run the video from the microdrive and see if it helps.
Try the microdrive tweak first.
The OS is WM6
If I check the Microdrive mode.
Should I change the "Microdrive start at"?
Now is 1472 KB.
I have the same problem with core player...but all modification with cache or microdrive settings doesn't help. I think it is a bug in the audiostream, because when i change the audio settings the movie runs well...but when i hit pause and then start again the movie is laggy

I'm having the same problem playing back basic MP3 files, audio only. Very weird.
**Edit, my problem seems to only be on 48 kbit/s MP3 files, higher bitrate play without issues. Anyone seen this?
Same problems here - the following settings solved my problems:
menu-tools-preferences-select page-buffering-buffer size = 24000KB
menu-tools-preferences-select page-video-video output=raw frameBuffer
In mine I find out that if you go to full screen clicking in the screen then goes to lag thing but if you click the tiny icon in the right-top of the screen then goes to full screen without a problem.
This is happening to me but only with video and only in some videos not all of them.
My fight with Coreplayer is more on video being frozen when the screen contents changes very quickly. For sample on the intro of SouthPark when the hands quickly makes the characters with papper pieces. That scene is very quick and I got the image frozen sometines. I'm playing around with the buffering options but the problem remains.

P.S.: nrm your setting doesn't solve the problems to me. I tried with Direct Draw, ATI, Raw and many other without success. And I got my buffer to 40000 and 100%.
I'm sorry my suggested settings did not fix your problems. There is a vast world of potential settings - both in Coreplayer and registery.
I am running Coreplayer from the Microdrive but the movie is on my storrage card.
Is the SouthPark video short enough to post somewhere for me to try?
I'm using it the same way... program stored at microdrive and movie stored at miniSD.
Unfortunelly is a complete SouthPark chapter so is big (the one banned because "attack" scienciology). Anyway I'll keep on playing with the settings.
Thank you,
mahjong

I'm having the same problem with sections of The Daily Show, usually when returning from a commercial break and the logo flashes across the screen it just stops dead. Very very frustrating, please share if you find a way to resolve this problem.
I will. But looks a matter of playing with settings on memory, buffers, and video configuration.
Something I test is the difference on having the movie in the Microdrive or miniSD. Looks the same to me... and it's not strange since I'm using a buffer size of 40000 KB with a preload at underrun of 100% what as far as I know means that Coreplayer need to load 40000 KB (100%) of the movie into the memory before starting it.
That means (from my point of view) that the problem relays in the procedure of taking images from the memory and not from the SD or microdrive.
I'll keep on testing. And I need to compare those problems with TCPMP.
My problem with TCPMP is that damage the notification queue every single time I install or run the program.
Best regards,
mahjong

THANK YOU!!!
Just updated my XV6800 to the new No2Chem ROM. Anyone ever have the following problem: song plays for 20-28 seconds and then skips to next song and then repeats. Never gets beyond 28 seconds.
I see it on both WMP and Audio Manager. Any help will be appreciated.
I have been having the exact sae problem. I started using Slide 2 Play and the problem stopped.
I have it happen to me sometimes....It only happened when I had a batteryplugin running...I just uninstalled battplugin and dont really have issue anymore. You can also try killing all programs before launching music program and see if that helps
the problem is oxios close apps, if you have that app then the wmp acts stupid, uninstall and all will be fixed. i use sktools to free up RAM
Hi,
I seem to be having a problem with spotify on VillainRom 5.4,
This is my first 2.1 rom so I can't say if it is something to do with Villain 5.4 or if it is a problem with all 2.1 roms.
The issue I'm having is that spotify stutters like crazy (even when in offline mode) as soon as there is some mobile data network activity.
e.g. If I open a browser and navigate to a web page music playback will cut out, if I go to the friendstream widget and it starts to update then the sounds will stutter and cut out etc...
It's very annoying but I don't know if it's just me or if this is an issue that can be fixed?
Have you tried to set up autokiller (preinstalled in 5.4)?
Open it up and set it to "moderate" and see if it improves anything.
I am using Spotify with the std VillainRom 5.4 and works perfect.

I've tried adjusting autokiller but it didn't seem to do anything to help my problem, I tested it by loading up the htc website while spotify is playing offline music and it was breaking up horribly
Argghhh, still having the same problem, I've done a complete reflash of 5.4 and re-downloaded all my spotify tracks and it still breaks up when there is data transfer going on.
I've also done what lenny suggested and set autokiller to moderate and I've still got the issue.
Can somebody please confirm that it works ok for them by doing the following.
1) Set spotify offline
2) start playing some music
3) Open the browser on the phone
4) use google to search for the htc homepage
5) navigate to the htc homepage from the link in google
It's so frustrating
I've just done a logcat and have noticed that when the audio cuts out, it seems that the following message is displayed in the log:
Code:
I/AudioHardwareMSM72XX( 120): AudioHardware pcm playback is going to standby.
D/StreamProcess( 120): OutputStreamProcess::ResetAOLC()
W/AudioTrack( 1711): obtainBuffer timed out (is the CPU pegged?) 0x408e48 user=0
00ee088, server=000d8800
I/AudioHardwareMSM72XX( 120): AUDIO_START: start kernel pcm_out driver.
can somebody please tell me why this is happening :'(
I have the same issue. If I play Spotify and browse the web, open other apps or even swipe though the home screens fast the Spotify will stutter greatly.
Had the same issue with earlier versions of Villain and now with version 10.
Full wipe and format of SD-card when installed ROM.
On my old Vibrant and on my new Epic Touch, after a while audio programs (Google Listen, Google Music, DoubleTwist, Audible) will pause themselves (in the first two cases also quitting the program). It's very annoying because I listen to music, books and podcasts while driving or walking or working. Also, it's getting cold and I hate to keep taking off my gloves to restart the programs. I've seen this problem mentioned on other forums but no solutions. Please help if you can.

Nobody's got a suggestion on what I might be doing wrong?
Ok, after using Titanium Backup to uninstall Task Manager the audio programs no longer auto-quit. I installed a third party task manager and now everything's good as long as I don't long hold Home which causes the phone to reboot. Also, now I'm afraid to allow the (2.3.6?) update.
Hi,
I have been a silent reader/observer of xda forums for a long time now and I thank everyone of the awesome developers out there for giving such good ROMs.
I've been meaning to ask this question for a long time but I was delaying it hoping I can get an answer for it myself. But today after spending close to 5 hrs on this with no answer I decided to ask it here.
I'm a music fan and I'd like to listen to it on my phone as well. I have an HTC One XL with the latest Viper ROM.
I have tried the following options.
1. Downloaded numerous apps (PVStar, NextVid and the likes). Some worked but not to my satisfaction. They're either very laggy or buggy or have unattractive UI to use.
2. Visited sites like youtify.com and tried on various browsers. (Chrome, firefox, UC, Dolphin, Opera etc.) hoping it won't stop playing audio when switched to another app or screen locked. On chrome and all the others it just stops playing audio when you switch to another app. On firefox it works but when screen is locked, audio becomes choppy (app's priority gets lower I think slowly). I tried to search for apps which can keep an app's priority higher but in no vain.
3. I also tried to find alternatives to Youtube like grooveshark app but it just keeps crashing whenever other apps are launched. I also tried Radio apps like TuneIn radio or pandora but you can't search for specific songs there.
P.S: Also some YouTube videos are specifically blocked by Google itself to not stream it to other apps/sites I think. How can we avoid this?
So, basically my problem is I need to be able to search and stream Youtube videos (Preferably have my own saved playlists) on my android phone while the screen is locked or in background while accessing other apps. (I know google is trying to bring 'play in background' feature to YouTube app itself but we can't create playlists there if I'm not wrong). Please suggest me a solution.
Thanks.

Thanks for a lot for the links. Tried both but the first one (Viral) is not so stable. It crashes often and a pain to use. However the second option (Modded youtube APK) seems to be the best option. I can have my own playlists saved in my youtube account and play them using this modded youtube app. The music will continue to play even when screen is locked but the app must be in the foreground. The moment you switch to another app or press home button or even pressing "back" within youtube, it stops.
It's a solution I can live with for now, but I would love to have something which can run even when in background. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
[BUMP] Any youtube modded APK?
Trying to bump up this as I wasn't able to find a modded youtube APK which can continue to run in background (i.e. even after pressing home button and accessing other apps). Right now the modded APK only allows screen to be locked but the app should remain in foreground.
And the youtube APK also doesn't play all files in playlist. It plays just one file that we select and stops after that even though there are other items in the playlist.
