[Q]Sense mp3 player - Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps

I found sense music player on this forum. I installed it and it plays mp3. Unfortunately there are problems with screen resolution and interface requires amendments. Can someone port it for sense fans? Homescreen widget doesn't work too.

Tried this long ago.. good but its a force close freak ...

[Q] Has anyone seen an app that adds visualizations to the music player?

Has anyone gotten anything like visualizations working on this phone yet for the music player?
I know there are two music visualization live wallpapers included on the phone, but I was really looking for something you can just either choose from the stock music player, or a music player I can replace the stock one with that has them included.
Really can't wait for something like this to come out/be created. Would be cool in my car if I could have visuals on the screen when the music plays instead of just a screen with a player on it. lol

[Q] changing the stock music player on cm7

after maybe an hour of searching in google and XDA for this i gave up searching so i will just ask...
im using cm7 for a month now and i love it. one of the things i love about cm7 is that i now have the music player keys on the lock screen but i just cant stand the stock music player itself... i want to move to google music or to the miui stock music player but if i do that the keys on the lock screen are still set for the stock music player... and thats a deal breaker for me... is there any way to change that?

What would be the best music app ?

hi all , just wanted to hear some opinions from you people about the best music app/ mod out there..i tried stock , ICS , and MIUI mods they are great but a little flawed
-ICS looks great and smooth but lacks features ...and the widget lacks a back button and don't have album art =(
-MIUI looks great and has quite some features like shake to shuffle and album finder but it's very lagging and lyric function don't work , it still great thou bbut lags too badly
-stock is stable and has a cool gesture function but it also lacks a back button on the widget and don't have much to offer ..so whats player have the best combination of functions , design and smoothness in your opinion? do note that all thewse players are great! but for some reason i have this urge to find something better! so do enlighten me!

there are a lotta players,each has its own features and lacks some too,i tried a lot too,but finally sticked to walkman mod
thanks for the suggestions ..can't find ubermusic apk files and player pto says i parser error =( so i tried a walkman black themed mod and it's pretty good...gotta try it for a few days!
The only beautiful thing of UberMusic is the way how it searches for pictures of artists and put them as background while playing music. But no searching engine, no filtering music and no lockscreen controls are not enough for me. I asked for my refund.
The best for me until now is PowerAMP. It has a lot of options for an almost perfect playing. It's a pay app but worth it.
And the default music player of Android 4 is good too, but kinda slow running in X8, so for now I don't use it.
U can try PowerAmp from market..
It's good and the widget is cool too..
Also, TTPOD is great too, with tons of skins u can dl from the app..
But im using ICS music app bow

You know? I decided to give a "second chance" to UberMusic, after I read to learn how to use it.
I've testing it for three days. It runs faster than PowerAMP, wich started to give some errors btw, like getting stuck when I launched it or not searching right for music. I don't know why this happens.
UberMusic runs faster than PowerAMP in my X8 with GingerDX v021. I doesn't have a search option, but I like the letter menu. I think it's more practic to search for music by alphabet than typing the name of the songs, specially when you have to do it with only one hand in portrait mode.
PowerAMP still has more options, but those bugs bother me. Hope those errors are fixed in the next update. But for now I'll use UberMusic as my default player and I recommend it.
I use PlayerPro simple and very nice...
I'd say check Real Player. It can play both music and videos.
Sleek interface and it also has a neat function that allows you to control the player even when the screen is locked.
walkman player is suitable for me.. i like to keep it simple...
Cube Player.
I just like its LITEness. Lacks of some features other players already have. But for me it worth it.

i use stock player of gingercruzt rom and also recommend PowerAmp last version
I still belive that w8 music player is the best but on custom rom i use ics music
U should make a poll and include some players and u'll see then the most used one
For me, TuneWiki, I learn Lyrics very easy
TuneWiki is great since it shows the lyrics. I wish Google would improve the stock player.
CloudSkipper is the best try it. you wont regret.

New Music player

i've been a longtime miui music and playerpro user. N7player definitely takes the cake
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer
yo! Thanks for the suggestion mate. I've just installed it and it sounds and looks awesome.
I was using a semi-working Miui player port on cm7 as of lately (still better than stock Music.apk), but this made me uninstall it. This is now my default audio player.
Others tried: zimly, neutron mp, winamp, poweramp.
But this seems a winner. Thanks again.
no problem. just wondering how long it'll be before they make it a paid app. I think they should leave it free for awhile and gain more publicity. anyways, I wouldn't mind paying for this app especially if themes can be integrated

Strange; which nightly? I'm on Maniac103's Feb. 20th and it works flawlessly...well, almost.
Here's a couple observations on that player and more:
This player excels in getting (and displaying) album art pics; it even makes them accessible to other apps. So this means that the stock Music.apk can finally and easily have album art covers for pretty much all songs and single mp3 files -that without any additional app such as albumart grabber [which didn't even really solve the problem anyway].
Cm7's lockscreen sees N7 player as the main player; so the lockscreen buttons control it and not the default player [big +1 in my book]. But there's no song name or albumart displayed on lock screen; no biggie and it has its own lock screen mode anyway..
So the only real need of keeping the default player installed is to quick-play a single song from within a file explorer (from the 'download' folder for example) because somehow, if you uninstall it there's no mp3 file type (mime) assiociated with the N7 player. So you get 'mp3 is not recognized file type by the system', 'System can not play this file type' ~or something similar anyway.
Now, all that being said, I still don't like to keep the cm7 default music player for one main reason: it also adds a "Videos" link in the app drawer wich links to a directory of all video files on the phone -hidden or not!!- .
You can't freeze (with TB or other app) that Videos 'shortcut' independently from the Music.apk nor you could (or would really want to) lock it (i.e.: add a password to the default audio player) with an app like Smart App Protector...
Any alternative? Yes: ICS's Music2.apk [attached - taken from the ICS dump release a long time ago].
Disclaimer: OK, this is not 100% proven science here; I did not check logcats and search for problems... but I haven't had any issue with this player yet for what I expect from it - but use at your own risks...
So backup, rename or delete the stock Music.apk from /system/app and place the ICS one in there and dont forget to set its permissions/ownership. Reboot and privacy problem solved!!
N7 and ICS' Music: best free audio combo in town
--> Music2 looks much better as well; more ice-creamy
Got some issues compared to Poweramp
- Can't detect song's cover art. Can't import from SD card. Need to download from internet
- No lyric
But overall is pretty impressive. Hopefully will get more feature soon

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the cm7 lockscreen to control winamp? I use winamp becasue i have lots of flac files i'd rather not have to convert everytime i put them on my phone.
thanks
Very nice, I like the interface a lot but its missing features I like in Poweramp so going to stick with that for now... plus I only just payed for Poweramp so want my moneys worth before changing
Will be keeping an eye on how this app develops though, when things like lockscreen gestures and a few more control options appear I can see this one being a winner
Thanks for the head up
THX. Have a try
n7player Music Player...THX,have a try
It has beautiful UI and the effort on that part is very appreciated. But I must say, it comes nowhere close to the sound quality of Poweramp. None of them do.

Good tablet Music Player

Hello
I'm looking for a music player app that actually looks good on a tablet.
I've tried MixZing, PowerAmp and such, but haven't found any that are tablet optimized and have good features.
I'd prefer one with a widget that could take up an entire home screen on the Prime (8x5 I believe?) and one that has a lockscreen player.
I hope someone can help me out
- Moon
I'm curious about this too. The one thing google needs to do a better job with is these native Android apps, it should be fairly easy to make something that competes with "iPod" app in iOS, it's not like it's something special
I think the best one is "musicXmatch"
I really like the look of it and you can see the lyrics of nearly every song!

Just tried MusixXMatch, and there are literally about 8 options, 5 of them are related to headsets.
The biggest widget is 3x1 and is just pause and next track buttons, and there is no lockscreen player at all.
Thanks for your idea, but I'll keep looking.
IMO the best player with plenty of options & settings (inc equalizer), decent widget (even if not full screen - if there are any full screen widgets?), plays many file types and has the lock screen controls you want is Poweramp.
I don't know if there is a difference between the free and paid versions but I have the paid and it's been worth every penny.

I tried PowerAmp trial version off the play store, and the lockscreen player forced it into portrait mode (horrible), and the good looks and properly sized/fitted buttons that I know from having it on my phone is completely DESTROYED on my Prime tablet.
If the full version works otherwise, or I've missed something, could you please post a screenshot or two of your PowerAmp on your tablet?
I don't have an app to take screenshots of the lock screen but the player takes up a decent space on the left of the screen with album art and controls with your unlock slider etc to the right of the screen.
I use my Prime docked mostly and the lock screen displays landscape as normal for me.
I have attached other screenshots of the app...

From what I saw in the PowerAmp options, there are 2 different lockscreen players.
There's 1 where it makes it own lockscreen, with quite beautiful buttons and art, and cover art pictures, and its own little button to press for unlocking the device (This one was forced into portrait mode for me when I tried it)
And then there's the other one, smaller one, where it adds an overlay to the left of the center in the normal lockscreen, with a little box where the cover art / simple buttons are in. (works fine in landscape mode)
Which one are you using?
And a little side question, what Launcher are you using on the 4th screenshot you posted? Nova? Trebuchet? Or?

I use the ICS lock screen option which displays landscape. I tried Poweramps built in lock screen and it did as you said and switched to portrait. I like the ICS lockscreen option though - just places the album art and basic controls on the left of the screen with the time and date.
The launcher I am using is ADWLauncher Ex.
PowerAmp will give you the best sound in Android, by far.
If your issue is only the lockscreen, you could try Widgetlocker. I have it on my Android phones and it is AMAZING. It has an ICS locker (look 100% the same, but let you customize Widgets on it and extra options for the unlocker.)
It drains no battery at all, but I have not tried it on my Prime. I will try it out and report back
I prefer PlayerPro. It has all the options you could wish for, has several skins you can choose to make it look the way you want and it is able to use the stock android lockscreen widget. Widgets for homescreens come in various sizes, the biggest is about one quarter of a page imho.
It also downloads Pictures for you artists automatically that makes the player look really nice. I guess its on par with PowerAmp but underrated

What makes PowerAmp stand out is the AMAZING audio quality it has. If you turn on EQ, apply the correct settings the sound is mind blowing. It does consume CPU tho, quite a bit if you put it to sound how it was made to, but totally worth it.
Player pro is better than power amp imo. Has a fantastic equalizer and just works.
I'd say go for PlayerPro, its really well worth the money
I've only seen on truly "tablet UI/UX optimized" music player... Hive Player... Google Play Music is the next best when it come to "tablet UI/UX optimized"...
I personally use Google music and nothing else. On my phone and my prime. Love it. Works great. Looks great. ALL my music is there and sounds bomb too. I've tried poweramp and others but ever since Google music came out...I've been stoked.
This is not a paid endorsement nor do I work for Google blah blah blah

Soooo, reporting back!
Widgetlocker works wonderful on the Prime, so your issue with the Lockscreen could be solved just using it it will let you add ANY Widget to the lockscreen and set up whatever you want in the unlock Ring.
Tried PlayerPro, the UI is REALLY good I must say, and how it set ups band pictures for the bandlist is amazing! (Actual band pics, not Albums)
Downloaded the DSP Pack and did the EQ set up, and tested it side to side with PowerAmp, and I gotta say PowerAmp sounds better imo.
OMW to test out Hive Player
I've now tested the various music players people mentioned in this thread and these are my results:
MusicXMatch:
Looked very bad on my Prime, and i don't have any usage for the "Lyric" part of it, which is basicly it's biggest selling point.
Hardly any widgets, and no lockscreen player, and almost no options to customize it.
PlayerPro:
A decent competitor to PowerAmp, but again, no lockscreen player and the look of it, along with the button placements didn't appeal to me.
Also has alot of skins on the Play Store.
Hive Player:
I tried the "evaluation" version (author's own words), and it is indeed optimzed for tablets. I like the widgets.
But it lacks many features, and it doesn't automatically download album art. And the "evaluation" version stops playing after 1min in every song, which is kind of lame, even for a trial version.
PowerAmp:
At first i didn't enjoy it that much, but after testing other music players, it seemed to be the best looking one with the most features.
Decent widget packs, alot of skins off the Play Store.
Lockscreen player is either ICS's default one, or a lockscreen player that only works in Portrait mode. (I'm gonna try WidgetLocker to replace it)
I've bought PowerAmp Full Unlocker, and now i'm gonna test WidgetLocker as a lockscreen player replacement (based on what Zephyrot posted)

Be sure to set it up right, it has A LOT, and I mean A LOT of options
There is another free app that can download extra Lockscreen themes for it, in case you want to try out new ones.

I tried WidgetLocker, and excuse me if this is a stupid question.. But isn't there any way to use other kind of lockscreen players other than simply one of the widgets from PowerAmp?
I very much like the PowerAmp lockscreen (the one forced to Portrait), and my ideal lockscreen player would simply be that one.. In Landscape mode (of course some changes would have to be made, in order for it to fit properly).
EDIT: As you said you tested PlayerPro VS PowerAmp with optimal settings, could you please share those "optimal" settings for PowerAmp? I'm not currently using the equalizer at all, because I simply don't know how to set it up to sound better than standard settings.
