Google Music, Camera and more to be on Market

Android and Me has recently posted information on their site that the new Music, Camera and Gallery apps will soon be available on the Android Market.
The aim is said to help remove fragmentation but also allow users to install these apps on Sense, Touch Wiz and other versions of Android.
I've tried the new Music app (the only one that appears to be leaked at the moment) and it's working a treat on my CM7 ROM. I now have two Music apps as one is registered as com.android and the other as com.google.
Hit up the Android and Me website for further info that I can't type in fast enough.
Enjoy

Just installed the music app on coredroid 5.8
It works pretty nice, and it is beautiful. I can finally see some nice design in googles latest android work. My hopes for icecream are big.
Aaaanyways: Does someone happen to have the camera app as well? The techfrom10 servers are down.
-edit
attached apk of music app

Thanks for attaching that. I wasn't sure how to do that from the XDA app

You can't use SRS with this app ?

It's the usual type of thing really.
The background colours change as zoric mentioned.
Here are a few screenshots:

I tried installing but they keep foreclosing. Presently i'm on stock 1.84 or I need to be rooted to make it to work.

same here. Only the music app works for me.

music worked for me (stock 1.3~ rom)
gallery just FC'd
camera installed...but didnt actually do anything other than mess up the camera's recording ability (dropped to 1-2fps!)
once uninstalled the camera error remained
flashed android revolution 3.3 to bring the camera back
music works again
not going to bother with gallery and camera now! lol

Xperia Arc Issues & Suggestions

Hi All,
Just spent few hours with my ACR (silver)
just have some concerns & suggestions:
1. The back of the phone is very slippery.
Suggestion: Just purchase a transparent case from Sony shop
2. NOT able to play various video files using arcMedia, is there any solution?? These files were working on my X10i.
3. Facebook contact pics are blurred during call, any solution??

There's lots of Video players on the market that will play other formats.. someone was suggesting vplayer in a thread I read the other day, but all my vids are mp4 so I don't have a problem..
Facebook stores the pics at low res so when the phone syncs your contact pics to your phone then you get a low res pic.. nothing you can do about that other than putting your own contact pics on there..

oh my god.. why isint it working?
thats not a good thing to hear..
have you tried rock player?

Issue: loud speaker at the back died half way through a video. Hardware failure.

1. If you press the home button while charging + screen off, nothing happened and got your phone to show a blank screen and you need to release the battery.
2. HEAT PROBLEM! My old X10i with 9 background application is more cooler than this thing, hope next update from SE solve this problem.

I have none of those problems till now
Only the extreme washed out screen when the angle is not direct is a little disturbing but I think it's normal to be shocked when coming from Amoled to LCD

In my case the screen is a little bit darker and yellowish while showing white color. Any one experienced this?

er.. really.. what difference does it make.. do you have a total recall failure issue with peoples first names?!

[Q] Where the heck are videos stored?!

I'm using the MoDaCo camera launcher and I've taken several videos, playing around with the face stuff and what-not. I plug the N7 into my HTPC to import the hilarity that has already ensued and I can't find them anywhere. I've tried both modes available (MTP and Camera, I think).
Help? I need to send back that N7 and I don't have a lot of time left to do it...

I can't find them there... that's the thing... I questioned where they were so I unplugged it and the gallery still plays them! I even searched for 3gp files and can't find any.

The videos are saved to /sdcard/DCIM/Camera (at least on my Nexus 7).

[Q] Play Music yellow tinted album covers?

Hey everyone, I have an issue with the latest version of Google Play Music. Music added after the major app update (the one after I/O) will have album covers with a yellow/greenish tint. I have tried clearing app data and rebooting, and the images look perfect on my computer and the phone gallery.
I added a few screenshots so you can have a look at what I mean. There's also a comparison between the same image in Play Music and the gallery. The difference can't be seen on my PC screen, but if you download the pics to the phone the difference is easily spottable.
Do any of you have this? To verify, you should add new music to the app, otherwise you'll see no difference.

Nope it's fine on mine....

Have you added new music since the I/O update? It's easier to see if the album art has a white background.

Hmmm, strange. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work either. I'm sure it's not a fault on my side though.

Anyway to keep high quality pic?

Try out Friendcaster instead of Facebook

Yes I had the same problem with the Galaxy S4! I also posted this topic on this forum and was brushed off. Basically I felt that pictures that were taken on the phone looked amazing and high def on the phone itself but once I uploaded them to Facebook they seemed very hazy and blurry! I even tried emailing the pictures and uploading them to Facebook through my computer and iPhone and they still came out the same way. I enable hq upload on the computer and still the pictures were low quality! I have up and don't know what to do because pictures taken on older model phones with less megapixels look much better when uploaded to Facebook. The only thing I can think of is that the megapixels are to high for Facebook and when the quality gets reduced for Facebook purposes it gets blurry. If this is the case maybe HtC one made the right move by only putting a 4 ultra pixel camera on their phone.

Use an app called haxsync it works great
