UPDATE 9/10:
Sorry, the project is discontinued by me. The source code is published as an attachment.
Feel free to continue the development (but if you do, please mention my name somewhere).
End users: Please try Groovefish by Barguast instead!
Thanks for all your support!
----------------------------------------------------------------
As the titles states, I've developed an application able to stream any song from Grooveshark.
The application is still full of bugs, so it should be considered more of a proof-of-concept at the moment.
I will spend my limited spare time on my new, still secret, project. Keep your eyes open
UPDATE 29/9:
New alpha version (0.2) released!
Some of the crashing is hopefully gone. Please leave feedback!
Known bugs:
BASS (the audio player) sometimes gives you a message box saying that the playback failed. Wait a few seconds and try again.
The spinning umbrella gets stuck on the result list (scroll a little to remove it).
The search query doesn't get copied from the search screen to the result/player screen.
Requirements:
Windows Mobile 6.1 (5.0, 6.0 and 6.5 will probably work).
.NET Compact Framework 3.5.
QVGA, VGA or WVGA screen resolution.
Download and screenshots as attachments.
Thanks to scilor for letting me use his kinetic scrolling demo code!
sounds a great idea.
unlikely to see a spotify app for a long while...
I think you shouldn't worry about it for a couple of reasons.
First, Grooveshark hasn't been labeled illegal.
Second, if Grooveshark has a problem with you reverse engineering their product they'll probably contact you first asking you to stop developing, at which point you might have to, or you can attempt to get hired by them for a windows mobile/ mobile version of their product all together!.... ( I doubt the last part, but I can hope can't I?)
Third, this is development forum, and you are developing within the bounds of things that aren't explicitly illegal.
So yeah, bring joy to our community and spread your knowledge.
looks like a great app, as said above a spotify app will be a long while off lol
sounds awesome, keep it up!
I would be VERY interested in this app.
Color me completely and unbelievably interested!!
Extremely interested. I could do graphics, if you wanted to go that approach.
I know this is very early, but I believe you could have a killer app:
*Kinetic Scrolling
*Great looks
*Easy to use
*User account?(maybe)
Thanks for all the response!
I've been improving the stability during the weekend and will now start to improve the looks.

Thanks, but right now I think I'm OK with the graphics. I'm using Fluid to get a nice look and feel.
Actually, I'm having more problem with the audio playback part, where I'm using BASS.
Stay tuned for more details and maybe a alpha version!
then let me offer my servics as a tester. I would use the app a lot, so I could help track down bugs. I have a Diamond, which is VGA.
if you need a betat tester count me in.
This sounds like a fantastic idea. How much bandwidth is required for streaming?
Fluid library looks nice, but it would be even better to use graphics similar to Grooveshark itself as it's interface would lend itself to mobile nicely.
Can't wait to give this a try
thanks at least for bringing this site to my attention. will try running it off my skyfire for now.

Grooveshark is streaming MP3 files, and the bitrate differs. Some songs I've tested are 128 kbit, and some are 192 kbit. There's most likely other bitrates as well. A regular 3G connection is between 64 kbit and 384 kbit, depending on the distance to the mobile mast. However, during my initial testing I've found no issues streaming the songs using my 3G connection.
Fluid is fully skinnable. In the first release it will probably "just work". In the upcoming ones I will try to make it look good as well. Your idea of making it look like the regular Grooveshark is really good.
As for the beta testing; I'm no fan of closed beta testings. I will publish I alpha or beta release as soon as possible (maybe in a week or two), and anyone may download it and help me locate the bugs.

Streaming over HSDPA is really all I'm looking for Would be fantastic, although I'm not sure O2 would agree
If Fluid is skinnable, then it definitely looks as if it would be a very easy way to implement the Grooveshark interface.

I'm thinking of creating a local cache function, so that you don't need to stream the same song several times. The cache will however not make it into this first alpha release, and (for all you pirates out there) I will encrypt the local cache files to avoid downloading of songs.
After some struggling with Fluid it's clear to me that I need to look for other ways of building the UI. Fluid is too limited in it's default state, and changing it would take too much time.
I will build a simple but touch friendly UI for the first release. If anyone have some sample code for kinetic scrolling, please PM me or post the code in this thread. Thanks!

Of course the Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Toolkit comes with some great gesture samples, but you don't want to limit you application like that
Caching is a good idea, but definitely edging closer to "illegal" status
Is there any chance this will work on the smartphone (Standard) devices? Maybe it won't be too much of a work to make it work on non-touch screen devices since you are planing to make it simple.

Well, I will probably never release a smartphone version, but the application is very modular, and it would be easy for anyone to take the Grooveshark DLL and the music player DLL and build their own GUI.
Dear all,
I am a somewhat half-way happy owner of a new Samsung Galaxy S3. As an upgrade from the iPhone 4, I was welcomed to an open eco-system where could customize the user interface in a way that suited me perfectly. I love the way that apps integrate into the OS – the gallery and sending images through whatsapp, Line, and other photo editing apps is amazingly great. I currently use the stock JB4.1.1 firmware and I am rooted in order to quarantine bloatware. I use the premium version of Nova launcher. First impressions by this point are very good!
Now to the bad: Whether it is just my experience or not, this phone just doesn’t seem to be able to handle some of the most simple user case scenarios.
Take this example:
I am working, listening to music at the office and doing occasional browsing. But sometimes I need to be on the move to see clients in faraway locations. So I get up off my butt and get to the car, switch on the GPS and blue tooth and set it to my car stereo. By this point, I am trying to input an address while the phone is heating up, lagging like crazy and generally unresponsive. The music is jittering and the phone itself becomes unusable. I then have to restart the phone to return it to a usable state.
This occurs pretty frequently, not just in this user case, but sometimes doing the simplest of tasks: Music>switch to browsing>youtube video>back to browsing>change track>whatsapp>send photo>facebok: *bam phone starts lagging*.
This phone is inconsistent. Sometimes it works smooth as ever. When it does I’m smiling and I’m absolutely delighted. The large screen is so great. But quite frequently the phone is far less reliable than my old iPhone 4. Even that handset could handle GPS, music and browsing just fine. Perhaps it’s the way iOS handles multitasking? I am relatively tech savy and am aware of iOS multitasking not being “true multitasking” but in honestly, it just works. Particularly with the Tomtom app.
I am not here to bash the Samsung GS3, I’m just here to share my user experience with the hope that someone here can provide some advice on how to better optimize the system. I’ve spent many days and nights trying to love this thing: constantly making efforts to optimize this phone. It’s a process I much enjoy and I sincerely love the customizability, flexibility of the OS. In truth, if it worked as well as it does when it does work, it is far superior to iOS. But the fact that the experience frequent lags and has reliability issues, I honestly am starting to feel the itch to sacrifice that extra power for that reliability I had become used to in iOS. Yes it’s less powerful, yes apps don’t integrate well into the OS, but hey – it works all the time. All the time I’ve spent wasting trying to optimize the phone (as fun as it can be), is starting to fade in its appeal when I actually want to use this thing.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to how best to optimize this system? I’ve rooted this thing and have quarantined all the bloatware. I’ve yet to try roms. I’m waiting for my mini-sd card to arrive so I can backup all my stuff there then try “slimbean” and some stripped down versions of jellybean. But is my user case common among other GS3 users using stock roms? Is there something wrong with my phone? Or is there something I can do to enhance my experience?
Cheers and thanks in advance for your kind input!

worst comess to worst wipe all data reformat phone mate, and if you wanna flash custom rom, try something easy like checkrom mate
Hi. Very interesting post.all though I've never really tried all the multi tasking stuff u do I could see how it could be frustrating. I too jumped ship from iPhone to gs3 a few months ago and I will never go back too Apple's controlled I junk .I find my gs3 to be the best..Sounds like you need to root since I'm rooted and on aokp ROM. The possibilities are endless with root .I have my phone dialed in too preform flawlessly and find no lag at all .I have had 10 to fifteen thing open and exsperiance no lag.well good luck with this issue..

Remove icon labels from the homescreen using nova launcher and it reduces lag, have no idea what that means as I don't use nova launcher and don't have any lagg with touchwiz.
I found this answer using a simple search on google
Edit: Try apex or prime launcher (found that out too)
SGSIII is known to have problems with multitasking. Try using the mod below if you want to keep using stock based ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888081&highlight=multitasking
The GS3 does indeed have multitasking issues. And it does bother me, hence why I'm buying the nexus 4.
I mean, really? 1GB of ram on a top notch device from Samsung?
But then again, my GS2 didn't have multitasking issus like S3, even though it only had 768mb of ram.
If you want to customize your device further, there is an sweet app called Gemini, where you can choose which app to startup and when it should autostart.

This post got me interested since it comes from an unbiased user experience. So, here's what i did, i tried your experiences on my S3. I didn't experience any of the lag you are experiencing. I don't use whatsapp so i replaced it with skype and for satnav i tried navigation with google maps for an online test and TMN Drive (free offline maps to my country) which is based on NDrive. I also use exDialer and handcent to replace basic phone functions (calls and sms) but i kept stock browser.
I do notice my phone heating up a bit, nothing too special. This is normal and expected and only happens when i do heavy stuff. satnav = gps with maps streaming from a data connection heats it up a bit. Any game will also do it. Surprisingly, videos won't, and this includes browsing flash stuff.
Mine is an international i9300, running stock ICS, rooted. I'm also using Go launcher, since it's the only launcher yet that solves the constant launcher redrawing issues when multitasking. Although i'm rooted, i didn't make a single effort in debloating anything (it's just samsung stuff, don't have anything carrier related). By the way, Nova was just as bad as stock's touchwiz in that matter. Go is actually better in several other things so i'm not going back.
I've seen plenty of people saying poor stuff about stock's jellybean roms so i'm yet to jump on boat. It's not even available in my area too (not that would prevent anything), but it's working great + poor opinions all around so i'm keeping iCS for the time being.
To be honest, the only time i did have problems that would make me reboot my phone was when i tried a VERY buggy app once (not phone's fault since it even needed root to run) and the first week i had it because i got a faulty unit which got replaced. Ever since, i can't say i feel any of these issues and, like you, i'm a heavy multitasking user with a somewhat customized phone.
Since you're posting this, i believe you're still willing to push an extra effort to make that work so this is what i'd do: i'd try to make it similiar to mine, since mine works: Replace your launcher for Go launcher (it's totally free, no premium paid extra stuff) and even downgrade to ICS. If that doesn't fix it you may have a faulty unit like i had and that could be grounds to having it replaced for a new one.
Good luck with that and please ask me if you want me to run any more tests on mine, i'll gladly test whatever, so you know what results to expect from your phone.
Hey guys! I I am well impressed with the quick feedback I've received here! When I get my microsd card and begin experimenting with different roms, I will update my impressions. If there is no benefit though I will likely feel obliged to sell his thing.
So far I manage to make this thing usable by closing all apps before I open anything heavy handed like gps or a graphics intense game.
Thanks and keep the suggestions coming if you have any ideas. I appreciate it a lot.
Cheers

That was an amazing reply. I'll be back on here frequently and checking, but I will make a longer post again when I re-flash and experiment with other roms. I'll let you know how it goes and it would be great to benchmark against your own experience. But it's interesting you note go-launcher as the way to go. It was something I used almost right out of the box simply because it was so flexible. Looked elegant and had huge customization options. I especially liked its inbuilt search feature in the app drawer. I did read more about it however, and found that folks experienced lag. I too felt this and after researching a bit I replaced it with nova-launcher.Thing immediately "felt" more snappy, albeit my aforementioned issues above. The consensus seems to be that nova-launcher is good, with folks on the play store as well as on these forums vouching for it. It some cases I find nova launcher is the default used in certain popular custom roms. I'll take your advice though and will experiment more when I get my microsd.
My phone is the GS3 international version, quad core with 1gb ram.
The issue I think is the jellybean firmware. When I was on ics I had no issues whatsoever but now on the latest jellybean I get some lag, especially after viewing heavy pages on dolphin browser.

I think the problem with your handset is the Jelly Bean 4.1.1 update. It is well know that JB doesn't have a really good Memory management, hell, the code is all broke at the sources and the phone will work at around 70~75% of its potencial.
I suggest you should try one of the ICS Stock ROMS, remove all the bloatware and then try... I bet you won't regret it.
Why am I saying this? Well, I was having almost the same issues as you in JB, the phone was overheating and lagging even more than my wife's DEFY lol, so i wiped the phone, flashed ICS and now is all good... I can even Play Dead Trigger, listen to music and chat through whatsapp and any of the apps will lag or close like in JB...
You should give it a try to ICS
does your lagging relates to heavy data usage through 3g/wifi?
To my knowledge, I am not downloading a lot of stuff. At least nothing beyond that which is considered normal.

That sounds like a very plausible reason! I will try this asap! :good:
i think the touch wiz thingy needs loads of ram which leaves less room for other stuff , CM 10 is a nice rom bit buggy with camera but makes phone really fast and has no lags =]

I am pretty sure that your experience is not something I would consider as normal for gs3. I have tried what you had suggested and it seems to work fine. There is no lag and music is playing well. Phone is not overheating.
As I type : I have navigation activated, XDA app, Chrome Browser, Music playing in the back ground.
My set up is Rooted Stock DLJ4 JB ROM with FULL bloat ware activated and apex launcher.
Here are my suggestions.
1) Try chrome or Non stock browser.
2) Check your set up and Micro SD card, format of needed particularly if the music is stored on the card
3) Try a basic DLJ4 stock ROM or if you want only a rooted one there is one available which is only rooted stock ROM. In my view this talk about de-bloating is over rated and stock ROM works just as well.
4) Please do format your phone and start fresh and also format your SD card or consider changing it.
As for going back to iOS, do feel free to do so, but I bet that you will be back to using the Android in a couple of weeks

Hehe, I really don't want to go back to iOS. If I can get this to work as you guys have made it out to work, then this thing turds all over iOS for breakfast. But as I said, if these reliability issues persist - it's not a good look for android whether the experience is unique me or not.
Hi all,
I have started this thread in hopes a developer sees the value in it (and our EVOs) and could please dedicate a bit in making some kind of ROM that would not have the calling features enabled, and all the junk removed, so that our EVOS can become bona fide media players... like what an iPod would be.
I used to have my phone as media player when it was in use, but I switched to (this crown jewel!) the Samsung Galaxy S3 and now this is what i use. However, it would be nice to put the EVO back in circulation as a media device...
So far, all the ROMS I see have a lot of features I think would be awesome in this kind of project (DOLBY, xPLOD, Beats, etc) and I always load PowerAmp as a music player (there is NO other compared to it), Chrome for browser and online videos, SwiftKey as keyboard and MX Player as video player.
I don't know how many people would find this useful but I am sure once out there, it would be highly sought after. Me, I just don't have the time to undertake learning how to cook ROMS, what with my Degree almost done, work, family and kid, well, I hardly have time for myself...
Thanks, and if someone DOES come up with something we all like and can use, I will be more than glad to host it and all needed files and mods for it.
Best,
Mord.
Run cm7 nightlies and freeze the stuff you don't need. Most mods are compatible dsp or beats work battery is great. And then is from experience using my og as a gps and music player in my truck constantly

Snap yo..... I actually did this for educational purposes just to see what it would work like, it was incomplete but it worked decent enough. I was just fooling around trying to get familiar with cooking and breaking open apks for themeing and junk. I think I am have to give it another go, but based on my preference for a base, I don't think success will be much. Either way, I'm gonna mess around with it and see what I can do. No promises though.

Heyo guys.
I need to screencast some interface interactions for work, and am contemplating between the nexus 10 and note 10.1. I know that screen casting is good to go on the note 10.1 (it even does it natively on later firmwares), but the power, design and screen of the nexus 10 seems like a better investment (after i finish my project it's gonna be my personal tablet).
The problem is, I can't really find information about if any of the hard-to-find screencast apps on the playstore would work on the nexus 10. There was a thread waaaaay back talking about this but since then the app has been updated a couple of times.
Can someone please just do me a real big favor and test it out for me? the demo 20second app is free on the playstore. link below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ms.screencastfree.
If the link doesnt work, go to the play store and download screencast video recorder demo.
there is also:

Thanks a million guys!
Best!
PS. if any one has any creative ideas about how i might repay the kindness, let me know, but don't let it become the main topic of discussion!

Screencast isn't working very well. It creates videos, but the videos appear to freeze and show the same frame. The second app you linked is incompatible. PM me if you want me to test another app.

I too am looking for a good screencasting application for my N10.
I have tested out the Screencast Video Recorder Demo by Media Solutions, and it is literally hot garbage. Doesn't really record well when i switch apps. Sometimes it only records the app itself, not what app im actually using.
I need to record my screen for work, so im hoping someone has had luck finding an good screencasting app.
Any suggestions?
