I have found most music apps stop responding after first song load on boot in JB based ROMs. Rockbox widget does not have this problem and is what I am using. It is in early development for Android and is not available in the play store yet.
For me the app freezes after clicking play. Then I close the app and remove from task manager then open the app and it works from then on

I'm confused, is this a question or an advertisement? If it's a question, there's a fix. If it's an advertisement, ugh.
Common problem for jellybean roms. To fix you need to edit your build prop. Change the lines "lpa.decode=true" and "lpa.use-stagefright=true". change them both so they are "lpa.decode=false" and "lpa.use-stagefright=false". Reboot. then problem should be fixed.
I would kindly accept direction to the fix. I have done searches and most results site bluetooth issues which I don't have. Not meant to be an advertisement as they are simply open source developers working on a project for porting to multiple platforms - namely mp3 players - as they have done for many years. I understand some young chaps may not have heard of these devices as they grew up with Androids.

Couldn't give you a technical reason why it works honestly. A buddy of mine explained it to me quite some time ago, but I do not remember what he said. I think it was something along the lines of making android code audio through software instead of hardware. And as to why it isn't implemented in ALL jellybean ROMS and nightlies, I have absolutely no idea. This fix may not be known to everyone, but its been available for a while & I would think most devs know about it by now and would implement it in their ROMS. I just make it a habit to do that first when I flash a jellybean ROM. :good:
So its not just me, my sd card, or my phone?? I'll try the fix out. A real pain this is when you flash roms daily and have to go through the initial freeze, close and reopen :/

Hey guys,
I wrote a screen capture app that works for my Atrix since I couldn't find one that worked that was on the market. Here is the first version so I am looking for suggestions/bugs/improvements, etc.
I've only tested it on the atrix because that is the only phone I have, but if you guys could test it on other phones and let me know if it works or not on them, then that would be great.
Edit: Finally posting a new version. *Should* address most of the issues/requests I've seen unless I forgot something. Still haven't had a chance to test on any other devices but it will actually display errors now so I can see why the devices are failing.
Version:
0.6 - Fixed some bugs, screenshots should show up right away in gallery now, added an option to shutdown the services after grabbing the screenshot.
0.8 - Fixed shake sensor bug, added option to invert colors to fix colors for some devices, and service should stay on after reboots.
0.85 - Fixes for some crash reports. Better support for other devices.
Also, I finally added the app to market for those who want to get automatic app updates. I'll still post newest versions here for those that prefer to download from xda.
Market link
update: I haven't had time to work on the app at all lately so if anybody wants the source to fix any bugs or improvements then you can get it from https://bitbucket.org/mindphaze/screen-grabber

Works great

Not sure exactly what the problem is, but when trying to read the framebuffer (/dev/graphics/fb0) directly I would get an error. Google provides /system/bin/fbread that grabs the framebuffer so it wasn't anything complicated to just call that to get the buffer.
Got the info from reading the tegra source code.
First bug I've ran into is it unexpecidently stopped running when I connected my phone to my computer in mass storage mode.

Exactly, I've had this for a day or so, and voice search isn't working. But they're aware of that issue, and attempting to fix it. OP should mention that voice doesn't work.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Voice-to-text will not work without kernel support or a hack forcing the app to use the existing Google Speech-to-text implementation. Either direction will take an obscene amount of time, i'd imagine. Don't wait up...
Why is this sinking down the app list?! People need to see this!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
After using for several days, one issue I've noticed (besides voice search not working), is that the "cards" do not automagically "appear" on my phone. Rather, to view any card, I have to manually open the app. Once there I see a relevant card, such as the weather, or the length of my commute to work when the phone figures it's time for me to go to work. But my understanding is that Google Now, working properly, is supposed to make these cards "pop up" on your phone, rather than you having to manually open the app.
tks,trying...

Yes. Search for mikeyxda07. I believe that's the file. One of the xda devs (mike) has one up and running. Also, I think Shostock has it in his ROM. Why not just switch to JB and install it with one of the various Aroma gapps installers? Works well.

Google has released Jelly Bean source code, and CM10 development is underway, but while we are waiting, we can install Google Now, the new search tool from Jelly Bean onto our Ice Cream Sandwich Android device.

Thanks for the video, I've had this working for a few days and had the same results you did with the network error message at first and voice not working. My workaround for voice is to use the new voice recognition that is built into the latest Swype betas since my TP microphone is working now.

I installed the latest version of Google Now with the Voice Search feature active, and I must say, it doesn't work great on the Touchpad. Its very slow, the screen flashes, you can't use the search button within the app, and the external voice connection app requires you to press enter in the Google Now app to run a search.
I'll wait for CM10.

Out of curiosity, why is this so hard to get it working on ICS ROMs? On every phone I've seen, they've been able to port over most of the Jellybean stuff to ICS without issues, but Google Now just will not port over nicely. Seems like it's just an app to me and would require less work than others, but I know nothing about developing.

That's the issue, it isn't JUST an app. It's actually a series of apps that work together along with the framework and some other fun stuff. Not as easy as throwing an APK on your device.

I can't seem to get DSPManager to not FC no matter how I install it. I've tried flashing as a system app and installing as user, clearing cache/data and with any KK/Sense rom thus far the app always immediately force closes. It worked fine for ICS and JB builds but it seems something going on in KK or Sense is interfering. Has anybody got DSP working on KK/Sense?

Actually the old v1 of DSP works fine on 4.2.2/Sense 5.0 and earlier when the proper audioeffects text file is flashed to etc. It not working for people through the years has mostly to do with this and DSP's inability to take exclusive priority over the global audio output of any given device. CM are the one's actually maintaining the app, of which there is a 3rd version which doesn't force close in KK/Sense but also won't do anything to the audio effects either. I had this same problem with Viper4Android. It constantly prompts me to install a binary but the settings never change the sound. I don't think it's the audioeffects config file or the libs but some other file such as audiopolicy. If anyone knows what changes are present in KK that differ from JB in terms of how Android and Sense handle audio effects that information would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm...now we're getting somewhere. I have done some audio effect editing myself which is how I got DSP to work from Sense 3.5-5.0 roms. So you are saying "stereowide" causes FC's in KK because the original version of DSP won't even open in KK. I don't recall ever seeing that effect....can you post an example for me to test? Just the audio effect file.
