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 :

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?

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.

Hey guys I've been using player pro on my Android devices pretty much since release but It's getting to the point that I would like to see what else is out there. I've heard power amp getting kicked around these forums a lot so what's its like does it live up to the hype and if you have used both which is better?

I never tried Player Pro..
All I can share here, I tried default google player, default music player from samsung galaxy s3, and also jetAudio plus, no one can beat PowerAmp, for me..
I purchased the license, and never regret that..
U should try the trial version..
I'd pay at least double again to keep using power amp.
Power Amp for me, as it has the ability to keep the screen alive. So when I'm driving, i can glance at the handset in the cradle and see what's happening.
I like PowerAmp and I think it's the superior player overall, but I use PlayerPro for one particular reason - You can set it to only list your music by Album Artist in the library, rather than Artist, which is great if you have mixtapes and compilations.

Poweramp is an extremely well build music machine and uses its own build-in amp. + skins..
Playerpro has an easy UI and got an external dsp manager(dl. via market) * skins
Both perform very well and its a matter of taste.
Neutron is another music player(maybe the best) but very clumsy UI and hard to set up,because its has so many options..
My favorite is poweramp

I use Mortplayer!!! it has great options!!
Poweramp has the ability to read my mind...just has an awesome shuffle! just wish it worked like it use to for me. since flashing all these JB roms, dlg4 dlh4 dlh8 & li1now, all my playlist i create keep getting erased-or all the songs in the playlist are removed from the lists. very frustrating. have been searching xda for days. have no fc or issues otherwise with PA.
Hi!
I have a question about these two players and also Winamp Pro. I was using MortPlayer till now, but now it's time to change my player. I tried Winamp Pro, it's great but sometimes I find it slow when browsing folders (I have a 32 GB SD card full of music). SQ is great.
But the most important thing that I want to know is which of those uses the least resources (CPU and RAM)? I have Xperia X10i with ****ty stock gingerbread (2.3.3) (is not rooted) and I have problems with twitching, which is just going on my nerves.
Thanks
I like poweramp and I bought it a while back, though I seem to prefer a more clean/basic player. I think I like Google Play Music as a music player.

with power amp you can select different buffer sizes which should stop skipping(I presume that is what you meant by twitching?!)
I tend to go between the two. I prefer poweramp but player pro is very good - I might well go back to playepro for a bit.

Yes. Sorry, I'm not a native english speaker so I'm using google translator very often My music skips when I have less than 100 MB free RAM, and sometimes it skips all the time, but mostly on screen lock/unlock. I'm currently playing with PowerAmp and I think that I will use it as my main music app. I set the priority to highest and enlarged buffer size so no skipping for now. I will try it for a few days and probably buy it.

The sound in Pro Player is a little bit strange, while listening on my hi-fi. I gave up from Winamp Pro because I get force close very often. And PowerAmp seems to use less RAM (28MB) instead of WinampPro (34MB). But one question; poweramp doesn't have exit, so when I stop the music and "exit" from player, it's still in running apps taking 18MB !??? Is it possible to exit power amp so it's not anymore in running aps? I don't want my player to run in background while I don't use it!
EDIT: double fail! I came from Google and didn't see that this topic is for Samsung. Fail 2: I forget to turn on DSP in Player Pro. I think I will use it for now. Thanks!
Hello,
Please help me to find the music player I'm looking for. My requirements:
- A clean playlist (no artists, no genres, no album arts, no ratings, no lyrics, JUST FILENAME)
- An equalizer
- To be controlled by the handsfree button (play/pause and next track by double-click. More clicks - highly appreciated)
The closest to this idea of mine, which I was able to find, is tiny player. I liked it a LOT, but it doesn't have any equalizer...
And I have tried so many other players and they are TERRIBLE, especially starting with winamp, which I like so much for
PC!!! The Android's version is absolutely not acceptable for me!

Hello and thank you!
I gave it a try today and it doesn't work at all :-/ It didn't show me even a single folder !!!
I see the message select a folder or whatever on the top and everything below is black!!
I'm gonna send an e-mail to the developers to report this bug.
Trying to download this, I found another player - EZ folder player free. It works very
nicely with my headset button, but it doesn't show the playlist and doesn't have an
equalizer...
Actually it makes me VERY SAD and VERY DESPERATE - WHY all the music players
need to have a huge icon showing NOTHING in the center and wasting the whole screen ?!?!?!?!
WHY there can't be a program, showing the playlist, as Winamp on a PC and 3 buttons
for play/pause, next and previous song? IS IT SO COMPLICATED ?!?!? And an
equalizer, of course!! Come on, guys, this is Winamp from 1993 !!! And in 2012, this
doesn't exist anymore !!!
My device is Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS (4.0.3).
OK, regarding Music Folder Player - I can not see folders only with the paid version of this app.
I have also tried to install the free version and it works. I have also installed Music Volume EQ:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hr.podlanica&feature=search_result
This is a MUST have app!! It has an extremely nice bass boost function and now listening to
music is a really nice experience on my SGS2.
So, back to Music Folder Player - this is the player, which I will be using for now. It is by far
not perfect, but it seems to be quite working. Major disadvantages:
- it plays folders only at one level - if you have a folder that contains mp3 files and subfolders
with more mp3 files, it will play only the lower level folder. If you select some of the subfolders,
it will play only the subfolders, but never the parent folder. REALLY annoying, but not fatal
- It writes media information files to EVERY directory with music
- The equalizer does not change almost anything and it is practically useless. But this can be
solved via Music Volume EQ, so it is a really minor problem.
But it is a very customizable player and I like it a lot! Nevertheless, I am more and more
convinced, that the perfect mp3 player for Android does not exist yet
Although, there a some players in the style I like - Music folder player, EZ music folder
player, tiny player, etc... There must be also more of them. Please suggest some...
Come on, guys!! No other cool apps? I can't believe it...
I am using kamma's folder player. It supports rom's native equalizer app. UI can improve a little but pretty much suffices what I need.

hi,
Try this one i am sure you would not search for anything else.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omichsoft.player
It supports Playlists,folders, genres, artists, albums and songs list.
Supports device internal equalizer.
shows itself on the Lockscreen.
and all this for an installation size of around 350 kb.
difficult to justify some (most) paid music players against this one.

Omich Player seems to be really good but it has some weird bugs running on Lollipop, at least in my Moto E.

This thing was last updated in July 2014 so most probably not polished for Lollipop.
The old player actually has more features while this one has the looks.
i wish they had taken the trouble to just update the old version..
i am using the old one

It doesn't run on Lollipop
[GUIDE][FIX] Music "lags" while playing songs [All Xperia 2011][MDPI][GB][ICS][JB?]
I don't really know if this happens to other people but it's very annoying and i found the solution. My one for music "lags" or "jams" (don't know how to say it) is this:
1. Download and install "PlayerPro" music app from Play Store (try trial before buying full version if you wanna do it).
2. Open it and go Menu/Settings, scroll down till you see Audio (tap on it) and download and install DSP package (will open Play Store again).
3. Activate it from PlayerPro app from the same location and you'll have to restart it.
4. Then, go again to Menu/Settings/Audio and change the priority to "Maximum" (it's on "Normal" by default).
This last will give big priority to our music players (even stock WALKMAN app) in RAM. Really hope that i helped someone
By the way, sorry if i didn't give "real" translations because my app is in spanish language. Worked nice for me. No more instantly interruptions in music on GB or ICS!
Works perfect, thanks a lot bro!

thank you so much :good:
thank you so much, i've been looking for a fix for this for soo long now, and imagine i have been using player pro almost all that time.
If i uninstall the app will the 'lags' come back?? have you tried?
Amazing! Really Reaaaaally Amazing! But, is possible apply any solution using Google Play Music or Apollo Music Player?
Thanks a lot!
the latest update to either the dsp pack or player pro has started back the lagging :crying:
Stay Fighting!
Hi friends!
I'm testing this solution, is my last hope! xD
Install Build Drop editor on Google Play or manually edit build.drop in " /system/ "
and add this lines:
Code:
sys.keep_app_1=.com<your_music_player>
and:
Code:
sys.keep_app_1=android.process.media
This lines forces the process stay on memory and theoretically reduces the lag! Please give me feedback!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Sorry for my BAD english! xD
i'm not comfortable doing these sort of things, untill someone says it works i can handle the lagging
Works good you made my day
For those who use n7 player (in my opinion, the best player out there), you dont have to make all these steps. Just go into the app, settings, playback, and tick the audio proxy buffering option. There you have it, lag free.
(you dont have to worry about any internet data transfer, this option doesnt use internet in any way, the word "proxy" stands for something else, not internet related)
works perfectly, tested on my lww.
Thanks :good:
:laugh: Fine, this works perfectly, very thanks!
