Andromadus Beta 4 - Bluetooth Streaming "Fix" - G2 and Desire Z General

I know afew people (myself included) have been suffering issues with bluetooth streaming on andromadus beta 4. For whatever reason bluetooth will connect and the player will start to play but no sound is transmitted no matter what the volume is set at.
I have done a little messing about in the terminal emulator and have discovered a "fix" that works for me.
First disable the bundled Apollo player using the following commands;
su
pm disable com.andrew.apollo
Next I took a copy of the Music.apk from BETA 3 and copied it to the download folder on my sdcard. I have attached the apk.
Then I went back into terminal and executed the following commands;
su
cd /sdcard/download
pm install Music.apk
You should hopefully, see a success message. (I expect you could probably us ES File Manager or similar to install.)
Thats it! After doing this the bluetooth streaming was reinstated for me.
Hopefully someone else may find this information useful. I would stick it on the Andromadus BETA 4 thread but can't because I am n00b.

Process also works on Beta 5 and Mimicry.

Is this an Apollo issue? You guys should try Google Play Music which is installable through Aroma when you flash the ROM. Much more stable than the old Music app.

Yeah, I tried that, same issue. It works fine on standard bluetooth headphones (Apollo included) but not in my car. I think the car effectively has 2 streams whereas the headphones only have 1. But then again, I don't know enough about Bluetooth to know whether that make sense.

I have tried the Google Play app and it does stream music to my car, however no track information is shown, which is important to me.
The stock music player is the only player I've tried that sends this info via bluetooth; so I guess this must be a fairly niche use case?

Out of interest, which car stereo do you have? Mine is a factory fitted Toyota system.

Cool, for those who don't know, and excerpt from Wikipedia explains pretty well.
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
This profile is designed to provide a standard interface to control TVs, Hi-fi equipment, etc. to allow a single remote control (or other device) to control all of the A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP or VDP.
It has the possibility for vendor-dependent extensions.
AVRCP has several versions with significantly increasing functionality:
1.0—Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc.)
1.3—all of 1.0 plus metadata and media-player state support
The status of the music source (playing, stopped, etc.)
Metadata information on the track itself (artist, track name, etc.).
1.4—all of 1.0, 1.3, plus media browsing capabilities for multiple media players
Browsing and manipulation of multiple players
Browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list
Basic search capabilities
It also works with screen sleeping. Vol up and down. Long press changes songs.

I did notice that my Phone Bluetooth is now acting up if I have it enabled with audio. Basically the phone won't connect the the audio will play.

Anyone have this working? Can you check if your artist/song/album information is being cut off by the last character. So if the artist is "David Guetta", I see "David Guett"....or if title is "Hello" I see "Hell". Any ideas? Bug?
Any other players work besides stock?
Not working for me. Anyone can explain how you got it working?

Tha atrix is wonderful isn't it!
I just installed the latest nightly build (the one from 22 of January) on my Atrix and the only thing I can see with my hands-free phone system in my car (which is capable of AVRCP 1.4 according to the technical data) is the metadata (song title, artist...), but this:
..media browsing capabilities for multiple media players Browsing and manipulation of multiple player

is not possible. So it seems to me, that it's not version 1.4 that has been implemented but 1.3.......or has it been removed sometime between? Or do I have to install another music player?

[Q] Music player app that creates playlist from USB

Hi
I am looking for an app that will play music (using playlist) from a USB attached via OTG cable and that also works in the background so you can do other things on the Nexus? I have allready tried winamp and Rocket player.
Any suggestions welcomed
Thanks
John
im using poweramp which you can select your music folders
Thanks for that, exactly the kind of app was looking for. Used the trial and then bought the unlocker

Music Manager

Does anyone know of a good music manager for android? Im having two problems, the first problem is half of my music albums dont have album art, and the second problem is i have more than one icon for a single album. For example i have Trey Songs album with two different icons. one folder have half of the songs and the other folder have the other half
Try musiXmatch app from play store or the stock touchwiz player. I find these two good.
Other option is n7 player and power amp player.

If your music data itself is messed up, changing players wont necessarily fix your problems.
I highly recommend musicbrainz for cleaning up massive libraries. It fixes tags, renames files, and will structure your music on disk like itunes. From there you can push it back to your players for sheer pleasure.
Btw , this is a desktop app, not one from the android stores. And it's free.

that sounds like something i need
Sometimes it'll choke on tracks that should be common and easy to identify. Don't fret, just tell it to try again and it will generally fix itself. On really stubborn ones you may have to kickstart them by entering some of the missing data (artist, title) before it'll properly recognize them.
Good luck !

Sending music on the S4

Is it not possible to send music from the stock music player app anymore? I can't S-beam songs to other devices like I would with the s3. When pressing the menu button on the s3 or long pressing on a song a share button would appear which would let me send music, now I get "share music" which launches group play and just let's you play it on another device... only sharing method is via Bluetooth but I want the functionality back to send music via sbeam with the stock music app as it was a feature I used a lot as all my friends and family have s3's..please let me know if I am wrong. I know I can go through a file manager and send a song like that but I'd prefer to do it from the music app as everything is organized
Bump
Anyone please?
I'm looking for answers for this also. Is there a mod zip to unlock this like the hotspot mod?
