[Q] Favorite Notification/Ringtone/Alarm?? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just wondering peoples' views on this! what are your favorite Ringtones? Notifications? Alarms? do you use MP3's or do you use stock? do you download them? use Zedge?? From all the roms that you've been through what is your favorite ringtone set?

I have to believe that this is completely subjective, but I used Garageband to pull a 30-ish second sample from the Eric Clapton song "Signe" and saved it as an MP3, which I use as my ringtone. I use Vector as my calendar notification, Ascend as my default notification (though those may be reversed...), and I grabbed the "New Mail" sound from Apple's Mail.app, converted it to MP3, and use that as the new mail sound in gmail - so every device that I have uses the same ringtone to tell me that I have a new mail message. That makes things much easier for me.
Those are the only ones that I use.

I use Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles for my ringtone, and I use the Xbox 360 Achievement Unlocked tone as my notification tone.

Good idea/choice for The Beatles "Here Comes the Sun"!
I ripped and edited from original CDs/downloads mostly instrumental portions of three songs:
1. From The Crow soundtrack, "After the Flesh" by My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult - for an upbeat mood, and specifically for people who I WANT to definitely hear from.
2. From the song used as the theme to "House M.D.", "Teardrop" by Massive Attack - for people I'll take calls from depending on my mood.
3. From one of my all-time cult favorites, and also one of my favorite music videos by Planet P Project "Why Me" - for people I usually do NOT want to hear from.
Oh, and I use the high-quality version of "DROID!" as my notification tone.

another one here using the "droid" as a notification.
I have a bunch of different notifications and ringtones that I use to aurally identify people without having to go to the phone or physically look at it to know who's calling...
Family members get something star wars, like my parents and mother-in-law have the Imperial March as their ringtone, and my wife has the Mos Eisley cantina band song...
Friends of mine usually get something from a Tool song or a Dethklok song.
Some of my other notifications are from Big Lebowski "this aggression will not stand, man" or Grandmas Boy "your bed is a car. yeah, but its a ****ing sweet car"...
Gotta love ringdroid for making your own tones!

I'm really liking that theme idea! I could see myself using either Star Wars OR The Big Lebowski as a theme.

I use RCP also. Right now my main ringer is the Angry Birds theme, puts a smile on my face every time I hear it.

Wow. Nice necro of a forum thread that hasn't had activity in over 10 years, and in a section for a phone that came out roughly 12 years ago.

I like Over the Horizon by Samsung and Nokia Tune Remix by Nokia

[Q] Best FREE music player for 2.3?

I've used a few media players, and they all come up short somehow. So, I'm wondering if we can get an ongoing discussion of people's favorite music players.
FREE only, I don't care if PowerAmp is the best, I'm not dropping five bucks when there are decent free options. And there are decent free options if we look. Supporting developers is cool, but we chose an open platform to have choices, not to be shoehorned into a one-size-fits-some solution. Also, we know PowerAmp, PlayerPro, and DoubleTwist Premium are the best. There's no need for a lively conversation about the best paid music app. Just pick one of those and you're okay.
Amazon MP3. First non-stock media player I stuck with for any amount of time. Decent player but kind of barebones. Nice if you have music in Amazon's cloud (I do).
MIUI player. Found on XDA somewhere. Decent, but ugly (black and white). Had something else wrong with it, I forget what.
Cloudskipper. Has an EQ, but lives up to its name -- for some reason, it skips, like your phone all of a sudden has moving parts. Imagine a first-generation CD player in a truck that's gone mudding and you wouldn't be far off. Also, it purges its playlists every so often (every time new music is added to the memory card, I think).
Songbird. Currently using this. So far it's alright. Open source, so there's that.
Basically, I need the player to let me make a playlist and shuffle it. That's my core requirement. I don't want all the music on my phone in the mix, just most of it. Eventually I will make various "channels" like hard/fast and soft/slow, maybe a country-only playlist, etc., but for now it's just "Favorites". Wouldn't mind an EQ but it's not necessary. And it's got to display the metadata. I spend an ungodly amount of time getting that right. Album art, artist/band, album, title at least. Year and genre optional.
P.S.: Why do so many players make it so easy to accidentally set a song as a ringtone? Do they get paid every time you do this or something? (Yes, I know that sounds stupid.) Who wants a whole song, not just a 30 second clip of one, as a ringtone? If it's got an awesome intro ("Joker and the Thief" by Wolfmother springs to mind) maybe, but still, wouldn't you wanna crop it down first?
Try doubletwist ® player,
It's got iPod functions, for free!
Samsung Galaxy Gio
CM 7.2 20120325 (thanks 2 phiezx)
XDA Premium
Dont say 'thanks', just press the button
DoubleTwist is not free. There is a free version, but it is heavily crippled. It used to only charge extra for syncing, now it says you have to pay to see album covers, even the ones embedded in the file (though, it offered to let me see three for free!). What a crock. I actually tried it earlier today and was disgusted by how far DT has fallen. It used to be a good app.
I'm only interested in FREE music players. The old DoubleTwist would have been fine as the Pro feature is not one I need. But metadata support is a requirement, as I said. And if it has an EQ, that has to be on the free side -- another feature DT wants you to pay for.
Just for the record, poweramp is not the best,
(it's extremely quiet, voodoo louder has no effect on it, the gui is terrible, it lacks many useful features, and so much more)
Anyhoo, try Xplayer, it doesn't have all the features you might want, but the music quality is level with PlayerPro, the gui is pretty, but as I said, it lacks a few needed features.
You may also want to try;
N7P
Rocket Music Player

If you say MIUI player is ugly, there are a lot of themed ones. You can try UberMusic, a WP7 style. I personally use Xperia S music ported, see if that works for you
UberMusic and N7Player are not free..!
Curious about the Sony one. I used their launcher briefly. It was nice but light on the options.
I didn't know the MIUI player had themes. It was just black and white. I'm trying to remember what my problem with it was, because I loved it at first. I think it just had "favorites" of its own, songs in my Favorites playlist that it would play daily, and that playlist had 150+ songs. So even though my commute is half an hour, there is no excuse for it to play the same 2-4 songs every time. That isn't what shuffle is, it needs to be totally random.
XPlay is pretty ugly, but it says it has themes. I gotta hand it to 'em, they could have gone with black and grey like everybody else, but they went with orange on light grey. It's a bold choice. I might have to check it out to see what else they did differently. (Also, I'm old enough to remember when the cool electronics were silver, before they were white and beige, which is before black. 70s/80s, 90s, and 00s/10s respectively.)

I was going to recommend cubed too. It's pretty decent. My only real complaint would be the lock screen controls don't seem to work perfectly for me (I press the lock button and my normal lock screen appears, then disappears, then I have to press it again to get the lock screen controls to show). But that may just be my phone.
It's certainly a nice player.
I think that the best music player and 100% free is Stock android player + beats audio* + xloud* and maybe any equaliser - but xperia s stock player has equaliser so i cant give any examples of good ones.
*both are ported for android 2.3, just look for thread and zip file to flash

You're right, but we shouldn't forget that is "beta"
I forget what I didn't like about cubed. I'll have to try it again.
And I resent the implication that pirating a paid app is a valid solution to being dissatisfied with a couple free apps. There are so many free choices.

Never mind, cubed is cool. It doesn't have the playlist support I want but it will be cool on a road trip to quickly queue songs when we don't want a dumb playlist to pick for us. Thanks for that recommendation.

Streaming music via Bluetooth while using Nav

On my Droid X, when I was streaming music via Bluetooth to my car stereo and using Google Navigation, when the girl came on to update my directions, the music would pause temporarily and allow the directions to be heard clearly. On my EVO, I just get a jumbled mess that sounds like she is talking underwater while the music plays. I'm using Poweramp and I really like it (been a fan since the first week I owned the DX) and would prefer not to switch, but I will if that's the issue.
Any suggestions or settings I should try to fiddle with?
Thanks in advance for any help!

i know what you mean but you should be able to clearly hear the navigation over the music. my OG evo would pause the music while the navigator spoke, now it just lowers the volume of the music by a lot and the navigator speaks over the music. i would say if the music is not lowering for you then try a different music app, if you have the same issue, then try a factory reset, or flash a different rom, if you do a factory reset then make sure to clear your google wallet settings.
It was PowerAmp...sucks, because I really like it and I don't really feel like paying for another music player, but the stock "Music" UI sucks and the widget is garbage.
Try WinAmp, it is a great music player. Granted I don't know if you will have the same problem or not but it is free so give it a shot.

Headed to work, gonna give WinAmp a shot. I'll report back tomorrow.
WinAmp works fine, UI is decent, couldn't find any skins in the Play Store. Anybody tried PlayPro?
Poweramp just got an update this am, ill be heading back on post later today and will test if any improvements were made in that are.

A decent group of free skins, widgets and a Digital Sound Processor (equalizer). I keep my music files pretty basic, Artist name and genre...no cover art, album title, track number...etc. PlayerPro added "artwork" based on this small amount of info. Pretty cool.
The only downside verses WinAmp and the stock Music app is the PlayerPro only "quiets" the music for Nav, it doesn't silence it.
Since I'm playing Guinea Pig, any other music players anyone is curious about?

EDIT: Got caught up by the post-time-limit...tested, doesn't sound "jumbled", but doesn't "quiet" or pause the music...still no help.
I had the same problem with the same combo love poweramp its my only paid app I clicked off beats and viola clear as a bell. The music lowers volume then the directions are spoken and the music returns to normal volume. So if you love poweramp just shut off beats when using navigation

Have you checked your PowerAmp settings?
Go to Settings -> Audio -> Audio Focus.
Make sure both Short Audio Focus Change and Permanent Audio Focus Change is checked. I believe it should be on by default but I've noticed in some cases whenever I flash a new ROM on my original EVO, it's not checked by default and I've had to enable it.
RobertBohannon and wolfpack15, I will give them both a try and see what happens.
Update on PlayerPro and WinAmp:
PlayerPro does the same as PowerAmp, it's just not as severely distorted.
WinAmp is almost perfect, but my head unit will only control track selection if the app is open and on screen.

[Q] New Android user: I need advice about a good music player

Hello Everyone,
I just recently switched from an iPhone 4S and to a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. So far I'm enjoying my experience. I experimented with Android in the past by buying a Nexus One when it was first released. Didn't enjoy the experience for a few reasons, but my main concern was with the way Android handled music. We're talking Eclair and Froyo days, now.
Recently, I ordered a beat-up, used Nexus One to travel overseas and found that Gingerbread had ironed out a lot of the music woes than it's firmware predecessors had. Mainly, the "unknown artist" thing, that I couldn't find any help.
Right now, I'm searching for a good music player that has specific features. Remember I'm an iOS user, and some of this stuff they had in their stock music app. Right now, I'm using "Android Music", not "Google Music", mind you. The reason for this, is because I'm familiar with it from my N1 days. I know there are better apps out there, but I don't want to download 100 apps that don't do exactly, or at least mostly want I want to do.
So here's the meat of the conversation, I'm looking for a music player that can do the following:
1. Transition between songs to be seamless, if the song is meant to blend into the next. (I don't want a stuttering version of Dark Side of the Moon)
2. Audio ducking. When I receive a message or an email, the music player I have now stops the song entirely. It's a jolt especially if you're driving and really annoying. This app needs to have audio ducking.
3. The ability to have voice control. I want to be able to hit the google mic button and say, "Play "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead" and it will play (sort of like what Siri does). But, as of iOS5, a huge annoyance I had with Siri is that she played JUST that song and didn't transition to the rest of the album. I've been testing beta 2 of iOS6 and it looks to have been fixed now. But I want that iOS6 feature with voice control. I know there are apps that do that, because my GN says there are when I try to request a certain song.
The rest of these are nice, but not deal breakers:
4. Perhaps a way to play audible formatted audiobooks? I'm not sure of the Android Version of the Audible app can download them offline, but I'd love to continue my audiobook addiction with Android.
5. A good, easy to use UI. Going from a 3.5 inch to a 4.6 inch phone is a big transition. I drive a good distance to work, and I want to be able to change songs and such without pancaking your grandma.
Those are my requests. I know that the Google Music app seems to have replaced the old music app that I'm using, but I don't want to use Google Music as my main driver. For a while now, I've been uploading to GM and I know there is an ability to download them offline. It's cool feature if I'm in a bunch, but I don't want to have to do that all the time. I like keeping a significant amount of songs on my phone at all times, and I don't want to have to scroll through a bunch of stuff I'm not currently listening in heavy rotation. It wastes time and remember, your grandma's life is at stake if I'm behind the wheel.
It sounds sort of picky, but I'd expect that from a lot of Android users, because I was picky on iOS. I jailbroke the very first iPhone even before it had an app store, and I did it every time I had the chance. I love options. At this point it seems like the stock app for music on Android is not cutting it for me, but I know there are options out there. Please advise, and thank you very much for your help, and reading my ramblings.

check out ringtone maker from play store. take sound files on your phone and edit them as you please.
Zedge also offers thousands.
Just serach the market for any app that you can download music from and also there are apps that will allow you to crop songs to make your own ringtones. Or search the web for them as well.

[Q] Please help finding a music player

I have a question about players.. it seems it *should* be simple but Android does not seem able to handle it.
Music is important to me.. so important, i am considering returning my brand new Note 2 and eating the restocking fee.
I am looking for a music player on par with iOS basic player. Before the flame war begins, hear me out.
1. Most important feature. This one is the deal breaker. (if i find this, i can forgive the rest) MUST be able to sort Genre by artist. Before you say Mixzing, I will tell you it does not. If you go to Genre, then it shows artist. If you click on the artist, it shows ALL songs by that artist.... not just the one in the genre you picked.
Why do i need this? I'll give you an example.
In iOS if someone wanted to to play, Green Day (for example). They could:
a) play ALL the Green day music by going to the artist section, or
b) they could play only their favorites by going to genre, (favorites) then Artist (green day) then all their favorites are there without the ‘not so good’ songs.
I am sure I am not the only one that likes to play ALL the music by an artist on some occasions, while only their favorites on other occasions.
Aside from doing it the way it is done in iOS as outlined above(having the Genre list break down into artists and albums) maybe another (dare I say better) way to come at it would be a filter that could be accessible from anywhere that would let you select “show only 5 star” or something. So you could play all songs by an artist by going to the artist tab; or you could play only your favorites by going to the artist tab, hitting the “filter” button, then selecting ‘show only 5 star songs’ or something to that effect. That would filter the rest out.
I told you the first one was a big one! now the rest:
2) Speaking of stars.... Android doesn't seem to support them. Sure they can be viewed and adjusted in some players... but why? You can't sort by them, set up playlists based on them, or use them in any meaningful way.
3) 30 second rewind like in iOS. Seems simple enough. Yet deceptively hard to find.
4) This is another deceptively easy one... Why does the scrubber on ALL android music players show the play-time on the right of the scrubber, and a STATIC track length on the other? Again with iOS.. iOS shows the time left on the right. Seems easy, right? good luck finding an Android one that can do it.
5) a playing "X of XX" tally. on a playlist of 6 songs, it would be like a "now playing" 4 of 6. Seems easy.
I am by no means an apple fan-boi. I did, however come from the ipod touch. So i am used to the Apple way.
The funny thing is, everyone says Android is better because there is so much choice..... I would LOVE to choose one that does the above. It doesn't seem to exist.
please help!!
give power amp a try. i love it and it is very customizable.
I'm sure apple has patents on all those things.
Seriously, if you were that happy with the ipod touch, just get an iphone instead of learning a new app.

Thank you so much for the quick replies. I love this forum! very active..
Thanks for the link to PlayerPro. I actually already had that one. It doesn't do the main thing i want of a player though. There is no way to filter results of Genre by Artist. Unless i am doing it wrong. Can you advise on that? (see item 1 on my list in original post for a better elaboration of what i mean)
Still playing with poweramp... it is VERY close! love it so far, thanks for the tip guys.
Maybe someone can clarify to make it do EXACTLY what i am looking for.... When i go to Library at the bottom, I choose Genres. Then I choose the genre i am looking for... lets say Favorites, as in my original example.... then the Genre Albums pops up. This is very good... to make it perfect, is there a way to make it show Genre Artists instead of Albums? In my example of Green Day, it would shows up under Genres, Favorites, but there are several Green Day Albums that have songs listed as favorites. As is, i can play each album separately, but i would love to play all of the Green Day ones at once.
Again, thanks guy.. i hate to sound nit-picky about this, but i am just trying to get it how i want it.... i listen to about 6-7 hours of music a day in my car while working.
you guys are life-savers.... Tomorrow is the last day i had to turn my Note 2 back in and get an iphone. the ONLY reason i would have done that is for the music.
that's one (and only one) of the beauties of Android, for every request for a player or a function, there's 10 different players and opinions. keep searching, you'll find one. I wouldn't return this phone for 2 iphones. Android is my fav and this sammy is by far the caddy of phones right now, with nos and flames!

This is very good... to make it perfect, is there a way to make it show Genre Artists instead of Albums? In my example of Green Day, it would shows up under Genres, Favorites, but there are several Green Day Albums that have songs listed as favorites. As is, i can play each album separately, but i would love to play all of the Green Day ones at once.
Again, thanks guy.. i hate to sound nit-picky about this, but i am just trying to get it how i want it.... i listen to about 6-7 hours of music a day in my car while working.
you guys are life-savers.... Tomorrow is the last day i had to turn my Note 2 back in and get an iphone. the ONLY reason i would have done that is for the music.

that's one (and only one) of the beauties of Android, for every request for a player or a function, there's 10 different players and opinions. keep searching, you'll find one. I wouldn't return this phone for 2 iphones.

I would. Then I would sell both iPhones and get two Galaxy Note II's.
