Anyone know of they work on the Nexus One? I'm downloading them now.
Camera installed and works but missing the shutter button graphics. Meh
Music App works great.
Desk Clock fails to install. Could be a permission thing.
Gallery 3D FCs when trying to launch.
Cube Livewallpaper works but FC's when opening the settings

I just tried the new Music app this morning. It works. They have official signatures too so it works even on unrooted phones.
The music app seems nice, though it also seems a bit sluggish to me. It will take a few days to know if some of the Music apps annoying bugs have been fixed yet.
I haven't tried the other apps yet, maybe later today. I'm curious what has been changed.

camera nd music work fine (though you will replace the camera app entirely and the prog is a bit crippled regarding options)
gallery-app does not work for me (force closes)

Music works fine, but still has not implemented Gapless Playback and Album Artist classification.

It won't install for me. It just says "Application not installed".
????

is there a way to install these on an unrooted phone without overwriting the original system apps?

Just install as normal. You can't overwrite a system app.

Any remarkable improvement in the new camera app?

I can't find the “Recent” section with album previews and a scrolling wheel feel? Can you guys tell me how to get to it?
Thanks.

Are any of y'all running unrooted stock gingerbread 2.3.3 on your phones? I am and I can only get the gallery to install and it just force closes
This is unrelated but I tried the leaked skype w/ video app from droid-life.com and it wouldn't install either.

Im on 2.3.3 unrooted. music.apk is working and installed gallery.apk n it fc every time

Im running stock gingerbread and the music player downloaded and is working just fine. Didn't try the other apps because reading the comments from other users they all had the same result as you.

Thanks for the feedback.
I tried re-installing the gingerbread update and installing the app again but I just got the same results. I had rooted my phone using SuperOneClick when it had Froyo because of internal space issues but when I updated it to Gingerbread there was really no need. It is my understanding the phone becomes unrooted after you install the update right?

I am unrooted 2.3.3, and as I said earlier, the music player won't install. I just get "Application not installed".
Is that what other people are getting?

I got the same error. My problem was that I had the updated music player (Gold Speaker Music App). I went ahead and reflashed the gapps, Giving me the old music app (Blue Speaker Music App), now the the music app installs just fine.
Note this will not replace the Blue Speaker Music App.
After the Leaked Music App was installed, I do not have the Music Sync option in the my Google sync settings that came with the Gold Speaker Music App. I have tried to update to the Gold Speaker Music App after I got the leaked music app working however the Gold Speaker Music App replaced both music apps.
Thought I would add: I was doing this in hopes that I would get the Jumper and the Sync option with the new Leaked Music App, just in case Syncing would start working. Maybe this is the key to get the Google Music Sync to work again and I hope someone smarter than me can figure this out.

Ah, a great thing about the new music player (just installed with no problem on my unrooted N1) is that it works with Voice Search's "Listen To..." option, where the old Froyo one doesn't. Very sweet. "Listen to Paranoid" brought the song right up, and it starts playing, no need to hit any keys. Will be great in the car.
Also seemed to grab an existing playlist I made on my phone using PowerAmp, which also makes me very very happy.

[Q] Srs wow hd?

Hi everyone,
The phone's spec sheet says that it has SRS wow hd. Any idea how I can use it? To clarify, what I'm looking for is something like the control center application which typically comes with the srs stuff. It allows the user to set various parameters of the srs algorithm. Any help would be great.
Regards,
Soumen

currently it can only be accessed via the stock music app and while playing a song..

It can be used with any music app that uses android's stock codecs. If you use music applications such as poweramp (that rely on ffmpeg) you wont be able to use srs wow hd effects, unless the dev makes it happen

I'm using dzo's Oxygen based Gingerbread ROM for the phone. I cant seem to be able to find them in the stock music player in that. Is it only available in the stock ROM?

I'm not using oxygen atm (will flash it later this day), but they should be located under the equalizer presets in the stock music app.

Okay, Im pretty sure the ROM did something to the music player. The player now shows only 4 Tabs - Artists, Albums, Songs, and Playlists. Cant seem to find Equalizer settings anywhere among the options on those screens. On my previous phone(galaxy fit), the equalizer settings used to come somewhere there. Any other music players that support this feature?

the music app in oxygen rom does not have the equaliser feature..

You have to start to play a song, then you will see the equalizer settings

guys! are you using oxygen rom?
if not, pls stop giving false tips!
the oxygen rom's default music app does not have equaliser option..
pls do not give advice based on things you are not using!

Install the latest version of PlayerPro (2.09). There is an option there to enable the SRS WOW HD effects. Just tested it on MIUI rom.

Can SRS WOW be activated in the official 2.3 (28.12.2011) firmware?
In the settings of the stock music app the equalizer option is inactive.

2.3.5 official, yes I'm using it now.

That's good news!
I'm using 2.3.5 official. However, in the stock music app when I go to Settings I can see an Equalizer option, but pressing it has no effect. Is this the only way to get to the SRS option and if so why might it not be working for me?

Had to register, been stalking this forum over a year...
Anyway, with this new android 2.3.5, you can't change equalizer without headphones. And when you take your headphones off, equalizer turns back to normal. And that is a big loss for those who listens to music from backspeaker. You can't have SRSWowHD if you're using the backspeaker (with that erm, stock player? Can it even be said as stock player?)

That's annoying. SRSWowHd worked really well with the speaker in 2.2.
Would Huawei have deliberately disabled adjusting the equaliser in 2.3.5? Could a third-party app re-enable it?

I agree that first thing :/
And what comes for that second thing, I've been trying to find solution... still with no luck

yes, its a shame, but i mostly use the srs wow pre equalizer

[Q] music stops

Hello,
Since HC 3.1 (I don't remember with 3.0.1) when i'm listening an album, the music player don't go to the next song when the screen is off. The music stops ! I have to wake up the tablet and then the player goes to the next song. It's quite irritating.
When I google this issue, I find out a lot of threads. This issue is known for a very long time now and for a lot of devices. It's because such issues that the iPad remains the best !
Do you know a fix ?
My tablet is unrooted.
Thanks.

i use KEEP SCREEN to let the screen on.
Some player like meridian player has an option to keep the screen on .

These informations are very interesting. Thanks.

I use nemoPlayer instead of Music, for this very reason.

NemoPlayer (called Acer Media in HC3.2) has the same issue only in 3.2. It's a shame.

3.2 fix default player
But does 3.2 fix the bug for the music player?

don't know !
no 3.2 for instance

No, unfortunately, 3.2 doesn't fix it !

I know the ROM OS discontinued but the victious xoom ROM does not have this issue

Well isn't that special.
Well, maybe I'll buy PowerAMP when the trial is up.

Have you tried my app, Hive Player? The full version has code in it to prevent sleep, it works fine on my Xoom under Honeycomb 3.2.

Hive Player is awesome!
@nfalletta, your app hive player is awesome! It's so fast. I've only tried the lite version so far but if I knew it would fix it I would sell you my firstborn for the full version
I didn't realize that one of the differences between lite and full was sleep prevention. I'll give it a go tonight.
My experiences are as follows:
default music player - will continue for a random number of tracks, usually gets to the end of the second track, then pauses at the end. Pressing lock/power button on side of tablet will wake the screen and playback will resume.
Hive Player lite - stops after about 15 seconds, which probably relates to the lack of sleep prevention code nfalletta mentioned
AcerMedia - behaves almost identically to the default player

sweetness and sunshine
Hive player (full) has been working for over an hour now
@nfalletta, Sweet app, its the first app I've bought, and easily worth it

I have the same issue with Pandora and Tiny Shark.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get them to work w/o having the screen on.

Great, glad to hear it. I was going to also suggest the default (googles music player?) should work fine as well, and has the same method of sleep prevention but I guess not! Some tablets are different I guess and not all apps will run that properly, until a fix is made of course. Thanks for buying Hive Player, I should be releasing an update soon for File/Folder support and track sorting for albums.

That's about time. I've bought it but I'm not using ATM because of the missing track sorting. Also the volume is always zero when I start Hive Player.

Same here. Waiting impatiently an upgrade.

Reviving an old thread, but this hasn't been fixed yet has it?

The last update of music.apk (the stock music player from google) fixed the bug.

[Q] need help choosing a rom/kernel

ok so i need a new rom, currently having various annoying little issues with cyanogenmod9. these include high battery drain, laggy cm9music (music plays fine, scrolling music WHILE listening to music however is super slow) (i have all album art, although this only affects this player) "unfortunately music/settings has stopped working" and also random reboots while listening to music.
so either a) does anyone know how to fix these?
or b) can anyone suggest a good rom? im looking for something that does exactly the stuff cm9 did (i particularly loved the dsp feature) but without bugs.
ps. i tried miui music player, but couldnt figure out how to connect dsp to it

Try Bugless Beast. It is simply bugless and stable.

+1 on Bugless Beast if you like 'stockish' ROM.
Regarding music app, you could try PowerAMP, it's free with limited features.
Anyway I can say that's it's really worth it to purchase the full version.
It supports many audio files.
You could also flash a custom kernel that has voodoo sound installed.
Combine it with PowerAMP and you'll get similar & comparable quality with CM Music app + DSP Manager.
AFAIK, CM Music is still in BETA, and that explains those FCs you're getting.
I myself has been using Bugless Beast + Air kernel (with Voodoo Sound of course) and never had random reboots.
Listening to music is very decent using this combination.

My favorite ICS ROM is Codename android 1.4 with Matr1x kernel. It's been super fast for me, and everything works. I haven't had a single issue with it!

Have you tried clearing Music Data? Fixing permissions on CWM?
I've been on nuhetri v3.0.1 and it has been working pretty good as of now. Haven't tried with different kernels, but they say it's working excelente with Air kernel.

It sounds like your problem is just CM9 Music. Just don't use it. There are many other music players you could use, such as Google Music from the Market.
And you don't have to "connect" DSP to anything. The settings should apply to any sound that comes our of your device.

Are you using cm9 with the stock kernel? If not, try it again with the stock kernel. Or as others have stated, bugless beast with the stock kernel. My personal experience has been that most every highly modded third party kernel causes some kind of instability. Just my $.02. Ymmv.

Well that's weird. I once used CM and PowerAMP just didn't get any improvements from DSP Manager.
I've tried listening carefully but it seems that DSP Manager only works with CM Music app.
That's why my choice is PowerAMP + Voodoo.

I use Subsonic myself and DSP definitely works with it. I can't speak for Poweramp, I personally think it's a terrible app.

wow thanks for the responses guys and yeah ive tried using dsp with music players, but it only seems to work with the apps that cm assigns it to. ive been googling how to assign it but it requires root access, which (problematic) i dont have as my superuser app seems to have corrupted itself (which i can fix)
anyway all that crap aside, im on cyanogenmod7 now. i love it, but it just isnt... ICS. so basically what ill try now is probably bugless beast (after i reflash superuser) then ill flash dsp and see if that works.

Any ROM recommendations for MZ605?

I want to use my MZ605 as a book reader and music player (when combined with bluetooth speakers). I currently have a CyanogenMod ROM and would like to know if this is ideal. I can't use Google Play and several programs don't work properly with the current Rom.
