New Google Music app. Works... sorta - Streak 5 Themes and Apps

Tested on my streak and it works fine in portrait. Soon as you go to landscape it crashes.
Looks like there is some support for a cloud based streaming system. Check it out.
installed fine without backing up the original music app.

It doesnt force close in landscape for me. Using dj steve 1.5.1. It does look pretty sweet compared to the original music player.

Installing on my Streak running StreakDroid 1.4.6 now. Confirmed working.
Working on Droid 2. This is sooo much better than the stock music app. Thanks!
Working with StreakDroid 1.5.1 and not half bad, but not so great either. Atleast not yet.
Lyrics are always wrong. Nice thought. Doesn't fit our screens verywell.
Certain aspects seem to be slightly off and I wish the album art was larger. Alot of wasted space much like the default adroid music app.
No portrait mode is a nogo with me. =(
It is a step up from the default android music app however, tho I think I'll stick with PowerAmp.
Zimly Coolest Media Player (free in the market, [edit] Zimly is the older version and will nolonger be supported) is also a nice alternative to the defaut player.
Pretty slick layout. I'd replace PowerAmp with it if the dev added an EQ.
I really wish Dell wuld prt their 1.6 music app to 2.2. I LOVED the Dell music app.
Tried it, was rather non-plussed with it.
Ill keep winamp.

+1 for winamp
Another +1 for WinAmp. I pretty much exclusively use WinAmp and it's wireless media sync feature.
MIUI Music on 318 Stock Froyo
It works on 2.2. I like the Widget and it is a better player than the stock option.
Does the Android Winamp support gapless MP3 playback ?
thanks............

Works great until you actually try and play a song. Its really, really smooth. Anyone else have any luck getting it to play songs?
Edit: Songs work when selecting "Shuffle All". Love the new additions.
Did they add the ability to "thumb up/thumb down" a track from the app?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
I love it! It's working fine on my Galaxy S II but on my Tab, like OP stated, if I try to play a song, I get a force close
I'm using 3.1, non TW.
BTW: I tried using the app both in /system/app/ (got Force Closes) and also installed it "regularly" (still force closes). Such a pity. I really like how it works on my phone. Was looking forward to using it on my Tab. If anyone figures out how to get it to work, please let us know!
Working when shuffeling songs...otherwise not.
DEVS - thats your call!
P.S - Search Working, you can find your songs and play them, if you like.
force closes for me on stock HC. shame...
It's built for ICS. Getting it to work properly on HC would involve complete reconstruction of system files. A difficult feat indeed.
strange: works on my 2.3.7 cyanogenmod 7.1 Nexus One
forcecloses after a while on my Galaxytab 10.1 with Honeycomb 10.1.
Works flawless on my Droid 3 (XT860) but since I'm in Canada it won't sync with Music Beta any more
EDIT
Works now, had to kill the service and re-clear app data, love it! And yes millemots, they added thumbs up/down

This is not relevant anymore. The Google Music found in the market is newer than this. Uninstall Google Music and https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.music&hl=en

[survey] Your favourite apps?

Well, a kind of a survey, anyway. I'd like to know what are your favourite apps in any category! I'll collect the stuff you write and put it in the 1st post, to make it easy for new users (like me) to find out what the greatest apps are! Please, when you mention an app, do mention the reasons you like it, too, and maybe even a link to it (keep it legal)!
Okay, so, I'll suggest some categories to begin with.
What is the audio/music player of your choice? The stock one can't be the best one, it doesn't even have an equalizer.
What is the video player of your choice? I've noticed that the stock one is quite lousy, as it barely plays the videos recorded on phone without lag. I'd like to watch TV shows on my MB526 (since I commute every day, so I hate wasting 45mins on the bus doing nothing) and I'd like that to be a joyful activity.
What is the navigation app of your choice? NDrive? iGo? Standard Google Maps? Which one has the best maps for your area and which one gives your location most precisely?
What is the most interesting app you've come across? Candle? Lighter? There's gotta be something more interesting than this?
What is the app you use most frequently on your defy(+)?
Can you think of any more categories? And apps that fall into them? Post, post, post!
*When I say stock I mean my MotoBlur Android 2.3.4. system (I am intending to load something else soon...)*

Well I do use the stock one (blurmusic from atrix) and I don't feel the need of using another one. I has nice interface, acceptable widget and lockscreen controls.. It has some equalizer (media audio effects), and it can be used with some 3d party equalizer app like "Equalizer" app
Using the stock one or MoboPlayer. Didn't notice any problem with MoboPlayer so don't need to search for another one, but I heard that the Mobo Video Player is a good one.
I don't use much navigation, but when I need some guide I use google, but it's navigation is a little bit buggy when it comes to calculate the route.
Hmm, don't know, when I first hear about Widgetlocker it was wery interesting for long time, same was with MiLocker..transparent screen is interesting app..no use to me but it's interesting, it's cool
Hmm.. Zumocast, Viber, Music Player, TuneIn radio, Tapatalk...there are much more..oh yes zedge

On my firmware, stock music player = CMP (Connected Music Player). It's not really bad, but it can be a lot better. Which ROM does have the BlurMusic player from Atrix?
Thanks for the reply, neighbor
Cheers!
I use PlayerPro for music, BSplayer for video, sygic for navigation (also precache on brut maps - even better)
Most interesting app is GTA3 ofc.
I most use : Timetable, BW, Golauncher, Palmary Weather Pro, Dolphin HD and Root Explorer.

How playable is GTA3 now? I kinda don't want to play it without music (radio), cause that's what's the GTA series was all about for me... Driving around and listening to the radio stations My favourite is Vice City, it had the best stations! Enough of the off topic now
Can you tell me why do you prefer Dolphin HD over other browsers? I am gonna test it anyway, but wanted to know your opinion.
Sygic does look nice... Can you tell me more about Brut Maps, too? I've never heard of that before, but I see that it's some kind of a mod of Google Maps?
Best video players :
1st is Vital player, 2nd mvideo player
Best music player :
Google music player is awesome..
Best launcher :
Go launcher (go sms, go contacts), and ofcourse SPB may be the best.
Best weather widget :
Beweather pro
Best dictionary :

I didn't like the CMP either, the MS2Ginger rom has the Atrix player, it has it somewhere attached.

Brut maps is mod for Google Maps that enables navigation in rest of the world (it was just for USA until brut came out)
Gta3 is playable only if you use Gta settings launcher and low everything. (also on xda like brut maps)
Vice city map could probably be available for gta 3 cause gta 3 for android is the same version as PC version.
I prefer Dolphin and Opera cause they have some addons to turn on flash content if you're on 3g...also they have many excellent addons.
All of that is available on this forum
music player: TTpod
Video player: Mx Video Player
Navigation: just Google Maps
most interesting app: I just love Dropbox
TTpod seems interesting, I've checked it out on the market! Will test it one of the next days..!
Okay, I've done some testing already and would like to share my opinion. It's about launchers.
SPB Shell 3D - I don't like it. It's quite boring and not practical. It's slower than others, too. Yeah, the 3D switching of home screens is very nice but there's nothing more to this launcher.
GoLauncher EX - This one's great! I love how everything can be configured and set up the way one prefers! A lot of effects makes it VERY interesting. What I really hate about is that it comes with 3 or 4 more apps! I HATE that! I don't want GO Shop or any GO Widget... Is there a clean install of this launcher awailable?
ADW Launcher EX - I think it's the fastest one, or at least it seems so on my stock 2.3.4 (defy+)! It's simple and effective, that's why I like. The problem is I couldnt find settings/options!! Can this one be configured at all?

You can easily hide the apps that you prefer not to see in the App Drawer of Go Launcher EX

I did so, but the thought that they are there and that they are occupying my phone's resources for no good reason bothers me a lot! That's why I deleted GoLauncher and am now back to stock (BlurHome?) Will test more of them, though!

few questions I'm unable to find clear answers on.

First off i want to say thanks for the help everyone. I'm on cm9 and solved most issues myself but I few I'm having problems with. First the native music played force closes when I try and search for a song. Its no big deal since I could just use gmusic. Jw if others have this problem? The next is what app does everyone use to have a video cam iv seen lots of different posts on it so I'm just trying to get a clear answer on that. Last is has anyone gotten svoice to work on cm9? Mine force closes all the time. I was wondering if it was maybe the download (got the apk from the op) or if there is a mortified version on it for cm9 and the photon? Thanks once again folks

1) Apollo is brand new and still in beta. Could very well be a problem with the app and not necessarily the rom
2) videocam illusion, download from market.
3) svoice?

Its not apallo its still just music. I'm on 6.1 but have had this problem since v1.
Thanks
And S-voice its one of the best apps for talking to your phone. Its from the sgs3 iv seen it run on lots of phones
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Not sure why the music player force closes. It would do that to me if i tried to skip songs too fast. I can say i have no issues with Apollo though, very smooth and the widget has a previous song button. Video camera illusion is the best camera at this point in time with no drivers. Every now and then it will lag but just restart the app and the problem goes away. And i have been unsuccessful at making svoice work. I tried installing the apk, using the flashable zip, mixing in with my gapps when i updated, and even changed my build.prop to match the SGSIII but still no luck.
Reflash.

Apollo is pretty spartan for a music player. If you enjoy music a better player might serve you better. I recommend PlayerPro, but it's $4.99. For a free music player, the MIUI player is not bad (works on any ROM... I think it worked on stock Gingerblur too).
I don't use video. Apparently Video Illusion is the only one. I haven't cared enough to try it.
S-Voice isn't compatible with our phones. Those straight rips don't always work. Have you tried Dragon Go, Speak to It, or Vlingo? They are all rated highly and work well with our phone. None of them are very good, and even Siri isn't that good in real-world applications, from what I've heard. Voice commands have a hell of a long way to go. They worked flawlessly in Star Trek, but there's a reason we're not using them on desktop computers. The technology is just not reliable. So you cannot expect miracles out of an ARM processor running Java, or whatever iOS runs exactly. It's simply unreasonable.

How are various music apps working for you? All of mine keep crashing...fix?

OK...since moving to Jelly Bean (multiple ROM's tested) one thing that is a CONSTANT failure is music apps. Whether its Apollo, JetAudio, Rocket Player, PowerAMP, Google Music, etc they ALL crash or simply won't start/play music at all.
All my music is MP3 format so its not a compatibility issue. It happens on multiple Jelly Bean ROM's so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.
Thought it might be a issue with my SD card but everything else on it works fine (including movies and games) and putting music on the internal storage brings the same results.
I'm just at a loss here...first my GPS doesn't work (on Straight Talk...still haven't fixed this) and now not even my music will work? I'm starting to think my Note is screwy...but these are honestly the only issues I've had so far.
If anyone knows anything just let me know, thanks!
I had to go back to an ICS ROM to get Google music to work.

Were other music apps behaving badly as well or was it just Google Music?
Well, I pulled the battery and reinstalled PowerAMP and it seems to work fine now.
I guess I gotta get used to the fact that Android/Note/Jelly Bean is like BlackBerry where to fix a problem you just have to pull the plug and restart!

The only issues I had was none of the players start a song and crash. Restart app and good from then on

I was running CM10 and had a running app that announces the distance every mile. Once the first announcement was made all other music apps would no longer work ( mort player and poweramp) . Had to reboot to get things going again.
I went back to ICS because of too many bugs..

Have you tried going into settings/apps/currently running... and do a force close of any music app that's running? You may have to hit close more than once. That works for me
