Anyone who has installed the froyo beta, could you give us details of what's included

For example, what music player is included? Vanilla or touch wiz? What are the 5 radio buttons they used in the notification pull down? Can you still adjust the brightness by sliding your fiber across the notification bar at the top, do we have a video player app, etc.
Add what you feel is important. Thanks

wifi, bluetooth,gps, silent, 4g
as long as automatic brightness is off then yes
The video player app is there
as for music app i have no clue..i didnt use it much before..
on top it has
All, Playlists, Albums, Artists

If you don't mind, start a track playing in the music player and then back out to the homescreen. Then pull down the notification bar. Are their music controls in there? Lock the screen. Unlock it and check up top, is there a half a disc up top that you can pull down to reveal music controls?

Yes. Its there, just like EE rom. This is TW 3.0.

Nope..couldn't find the option to go into Kies Mode :/

So far this is sounding really awesome! I only could wish for the fascinate lock screen. Other thanthat, looks like we get all the goods.
Do we have that new beach live wallpaper?

What about wireless tethering? Is the Froyo version there and does it work if it is? Or did Sprint take it out?

Craw, let's be a little realistic here. Why would Sprint include the FREE tethering when they have a product they're selling for $30/month?
NO US Carrier, and I can't think of ANY carrier at all, will include the tethering for free. I'm pretty sure Google just added it as a feature so it was easier for the carriers to implement their own (paid) solution.

Beach one is there..but some of the other ones that were on the phone aren't there anymore
As for tethering, no Froyo one..Sprint Hotspot is there...(doesn't work with 4g though..fail)
There is a USB Tether option..but I have not tested it.

Which live wallpapers are missing? Most likely I can replace them if I back up what I have now in my epic?
Also, can you edit the tw3.0 home screen like on the fascinate? Can you edit the dock?

[APP] New Android Music Player [Closed; Use Market]

UPDATE: Well, now it's no longer 'leaked' and is a beta on the market if you want it. Google Music Beta accounts are currently US-only.
Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?...ic&rdid=com.google.android.music&rdot=1&pli=1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new Android Music player that mimics the version seen on Honeycomb is leaked. It works flawlessly on my Optimus One P500 CM7b5. Download the .apk and use your favourite file manager to install it.
Screenshots attached.
Note: Most of the settings are disabled as this is not a final release. But things to expect are:
Settings (disabled currently):
- Sync with Google Account(?)
- Hide unavailable music
- Cache Music
- Stream music
- Download music
- Download queue

Does not work on stock 2.2 Rom [Rooted]
(Starts and gets an instant force close)

That is the icon of the app. Looks slicker than the other stock Music apps. I'm excited about Google Cloud Music.

Works on void #echo. Not sure if "flawlessly" or not but the normal functions can be used. Still playing with it.
Edit: it still feels a bit laggy. None of my album covers were displayed (they were displayed fine in other players like stock and PowerAmp).

The sync with Google thing is them having a cloud for our music got a leaked one on the NookColor (worked more but still broken) and there was an option in accounts to sync music to steam later.
That is if the question mark meant you didn't know Features have kinda been promised for a while.

Read about it. Now I know.

was expecting abit more from it , doesnt seem to be changed all that much .. unless they where just planning to update the 2 one with google sync

looks ok for a basic player

Works ok on 2.2.2 V10Q rooted. It's lagging a bit but looks pretty. Much better than the stock one. Thank you

Its on the market its in beta it's ok needs more options and of you use a album cover finder it won't recognize the album covers I dont understand why no one can make a good music player that doesn't suck up to much memory and turn on by itself and also a cool interface like the way you change albums on the iphone I know this one has something like that but it's only for recent and with no album covers I hate it
LG-P500 using XDA Premium App running CM7, ungaze data2sd, over clocked at 787 quadrant score 2100

Working good on openOptimus 1.148,it's integrated in rom

well I miss the ease of clicking the album art on the "Now Playing" screen to get back to my music, instead of clicking the headphones in the top left(Unless i'm missing something obvious here?)
And i'd continue using it if it had a widget.

Nice interface, but no equaliser, which for me means, right to trash. I still prefer PlayerPro :/

gonna try it out

YES!!!!!!
Yo man thanx alot lol this is amazing and with the CM7 mod on my optimus that lets u eq my cell phone music experience is alot better lol.

amazing ty bro!!!!!!!!

[APP] [ICS] Music v4.0 [APP]

Hey everyone!
Here's the music app pulled from new android ICS.
It runs smooth and I really like it.
First time it will take a bit to load all your music.
Installation: just install it as a regular apk. It will do fine.
(do a backup just in case)

Actually, it ain't different :/ but I thought it would be correct since it's only available in the us through the market.
All in one, I thought it would be nice to leave this registered in the forum for others

I installed the first one and it's a bit slower than version 3...

$omator,
Is there any possibility of getting that coverflow of the recent tab on the artists tab in landscape?
Ty

i do not understand ) what is coverflow

That neat effect of scrolling through the album covers. It only appears in landscape in the recent tab.. :/ I would like to have that same effect but on the artists tab, is that possible to hack?

that is in fact very good question
same as where is ability to set particular soundclip as a ringtone
i think those features will get updated (and maybe more added) with next updates rolling out

It's a pity that we can't use this app to select the ringtone... I hope Google will add this in the near future!

Yeah, it's a shame.. They'll certainly add that in the next update. I just wish they would put that album cover scrolling effect in the artists tab and the others

unfortunatly it is not available in all countries

pro tip: you can activate google music via proxy and then use it normaly
t least tht was what ive done when was invited to beta

the cloud is if you change proxy.
if you just want the player, you can download the apk attached to the first post
OR
you can download "market enabler" from the market, choose an american provider, go to market and download google music (it should be there after changing to a us carrier)

thanks man!

Thanks dude!

You are both welcome

But on the sgs I get a better sound from the stock player (TWplayer) just by playing with the built-in equalizer and effects ( and the voodoo tweaks of course)
With the ics music player I can easily enable MusicFX and Equalizer apps and play with the settings, but still, I get better results with sgs stock player

Honestly, I don't use this music app. I use poweramp, which is the best player imo.. :b regarding stock music players, I think I prefer this one. But it has a lot to improve, like the miserable lack of setting a song as a ringtone! ahah hope we get that in next updates

mmm finally got it working on teamhacksungs ICS build, a great improvement over the old music app its actually usable now lol

Feature requests for the Q

Question- What additional features would you like to see on the Q? So far I have additional features added;
Dual Mode
Browser
Clock
LinuxonAndroid support
Email
FTP/HTTP Server
Limited but functional Play Store
G+ services like Messenger and Stream
NTFS support when combined with StickMount
Zumocast
WiiMote as remote works with the proper app installed
Some things like are problematic as the kernel (no source) lacks needed services but I will work to find a solution.

I replied to you on RootzWiki as well (great work on the rom), but had one more thing: enable wallpaper support for the launcher! I have my home screen all set up, but it would be much cooler with a wallpaper.

I'd like control of that glow through an app. There was someone who made the lights show a clock but he never released anything. I believe it was called qclock.

Any way to use a playstation controller or getting a phone app created to control it?

Great apps to use on the EPD

What are everyone's favourite apps to use on the EPD? Or just apps that look good on there and / or generally nice uses for it?

For example, other than the reading apps, I really like MD whatsapp and GO (chinese board game)

Hi
I just wonder how did you know that an app like Appy Geek has a dedicated widget for YotaPanel, something I couldn't find in any other apps.
Cheers.

Might not be a dedicated widget, but appy geek has a widget that can be applied to yotapanels.

I've found using maps on the EPD is great, especially if it's too bright outside to see the front screen, with the display always being on you can keep glancing at the screen without having to unlock it and easily follow the little dot as you head to your destination. I use google maps and Maps.Me with the latter looking much better on the EPD (plus it doesn't suffer google maps annoying quirk of the little direction arrow pointing backwards to the direction of travel on the mirrored map)

A couple of emulators work really well on the EPD.
PHEM: Palm Hardware Emulator runs great, and since all the old Palm apps were designed for greyscale devices anyway, they work fine. I've freaked a few people out when I show them I have Android running on one side of my phone, and Palm on the other side.
Similarly, GBC.emu from Robert Broglia runs great, and the old Gameboy games are at home on the display.
In both cases, the minor screen update delays and artifacting actually seem to add to the experience, since these old systems had displays that were sluggish anyway.

Thanks for the pointer to GBC.emu - I installed it after reading your post and have been enjoying some old school Gameboy play that takes me back to when I first got it all that time ago (nearly 25 years....geeezzzz...that makes me feel old!).

Have been really enjoying QuizUp recently and it's brilliant on the back. The EPD allows for ages of gameplay with hardly any drain

This appeared on Twitter today, it is apparently "yotafit" but there is nothing in the app store of that name or even on a Google search, anyone know about this? I'd like it!
Edit....The reply to my question on twitter about the app....."It is a new app called Yota fit that will be included in the next software update (lollipop)"
Sent from my YD201 using XDA Free mobile app

That's good to know - thanks. I saw that on twitter this morning and it reminded me first of all of the Google Fit app in look but I could not replicate the screen. Good to hear that it is real and not just vapourware!

There's some amazing looking new stuff coming for the EPD and lollipop too, can't wait!

Fbreader now has support for yota devices and the pdf plugin makes reading pdfs on rear screen a joy

Are there any WhatsApp designed for epd

Disa is pretty good on the EPD, also by it combining all the messaging you can have all of them on the back in 1 app, the interface is also well suited to the back.

Please explain how you've managed to work out PDFs? So far Fbreader works great with file formats like: docx, txt or epub but I failed to find the way to display PDFs on the backscreen - even with that plugin... For PDFs the icon that should send the display on the backscreen ('cueved arrow') is replaced by "Network Library". Do you experienced the same?
To be honest I failed to display and scroll PDFs on the Yotaphone backscreen so far If you know the way - please help and explain.

Really enjoying the yotanotes app and having a notification list on the EPD at the moment.

the Kindle app works for pdfs, as does wps office.
