Custom ROM, kernel and bluetooth metadata - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Currently running the OMFGB 9/22 nightly and V12 of Glitch kernel. I just noticed today that when streaming to my car stereo the bluetooth display is a little different. It lists artist, album and track title. Unfortunately its all listed as "uknown" from Pandora and Slacker, but it DID populate when I used the stock music player app.
The question is, what part is responsible for streaming that data? The apps? ROM? Kernel?
Id REALLY like to see it send the track info to the screen, it would be cool to know exactly what Im listening to (since the streaming services always have new stuff playing)
I know it works with the Bionic, and the newest update of iOS, but I dont want i-anything, nor a phone with a locked bootloader
Thanks in advance.

Any luck with this? It's the same on my LG Revolution. Stock Music app send the metadata, but Google Music and Pandora do not. I'm having the same issue trying to figure out if it's the ROM, Kernel or what...

Media player problems

Sorry if this has been answered before, i did a search, but couldnt find anything.
But i have been having problems with the heros media player. I am running modacos latest rom, But for instance when i open Last.fm, The heros build in media player wil open and skip through the first 5 seconds or so of some random tracks. This also happens occationally while i am just lisning to music with the build in media player as well. It is getting realy annoying, yet i cant work out why it is happening. I can only think it is conflicting with something. It seems to do this when ever i use a different media player. (last fm, lyricwiki, etc) Please help? I want to still be able to use last fm and stuff...

hmm my hero is on it's way therefore i'm here in this forum.. i have the exact same problem as you but this is on the diamond 2 with windows mobile..
I'm thinking that it might have something to do with the sync of music.. Are you using wmp to sync?
I installed last.fm and the hero media player skipped like Skippy the kangaroo. found that Last.fm was integrating and doing something in the background . uninstalled, rebooted to stop the background process, NO MORE skipping. Woo. diddnt like last.fm anyways, too long buffering times.
bad last.fm,
Its not skipping.. its pure randomness. track skipping, fastforwarding, you name it, it does it randomly. Its retarded. And makes the hero completly useless as a media player....
Uninstall last.fm and install tunewiki and see if the problem persists.

[Q] Possible bug in 2.3.4

There seems to be a bug in the stock music player on kenneths 2.3.4 beta. When i create a playlist, after a few hours songs start to go missing. Every time i check there are a few less songs in my playlist then i originally added. Is this a known issue or is there something i may be able to do to correct the problem?
Sorry I'm not able to help you man, I personally hate the stock music player. Why don't you try out some other players, like PowerAmp? Yeah, it's the one I use.

[Q] CM7 RC1 and mp3 tags

Hello all.
I don't have access to the dev forum yet so I'm posting here. I have been running eclipse for a long time but recently tried CM7 and it is so much faster but there is one problem. My music files almost all show up as unknown artist. I use my phone as a music player in my car so this is a huge pain in the behind. I have reflashed twice now following all the instructions. I even SBF'd back to stock and wiped everything. The tags are fine on my PC, my old mp3 player and my wife's iphone so I know it's not a problem with the actual files.
Does anyone else have this issue? I did some searching on google and did find one post where someone said that it was a problem with the beta for the DX but I couldn't find any other info on it so if this is a known issue then I'm sorry for failing at the internet.
May I suggest trying a different music player. I use PowerAmp ($4.99 I believe) and have never looked back.
Just because the tags may show properly on those devices doesn't mean that they're error-free. Check the files using a well-known tagger such as mp3tag.

I have no issues on stock CM7 player. My wife uses an iPod for her music playing and I use my phone, so I am (whipped) 'forced' to use iTunes to sort and tag our music files. As mp4's the tags run perfectly. (Tagged with iTunes).
What software are you using to tag your files?

[Q] Song names through bluetooth

Hi,
If using the default music player I get my car to display the song name, whenever I switch to another player (PlayerPro, Pandora, Spotify) for some reason it won't show the song that is playing.
When I used my iPhone 4S it displayed song names from all apps (Spotify, pandora etc.) The weird thing is that the stock app does send out the song name to my LCD, but other apps won't...
Unfortunately I can't use USB either with the S3 (my car doesn't seem to want to support it, even with the mass storage mod).
Did anyone encounter this and found a solution maybe?
Thanks!
Royi
I think it is an issue with the apps. I went to the PowerAmp forums and people were asking the developer to add this with an upcoming update.

Thought so. Weird that Spotify on the iPhone sends all the info but not on Android (same for every other media app)...
Hope they will add this soon...

XT912 Music Player

Hello all, I was wondering if there was a rom that I could put on my xt912 to make it strictly an mp3 player, I want no other functions on it. Basically an ipod but a razr instead seeing as I have no other uses for it. Any info would be appreicated
If the phone is rooted, you can just delete all apps you don't want or need. I believe you still need a ROM on there. Doesn't have to be a custom rom, stock should work. I would delete email, and all other apps, just leave the play store and a music player or Spotify. If you get Wi-Fi, it is better than an iPod because you don't need iTunes. Can download music from anywhere.
