This data was collected with offline music, or?
Are you able to bench it with streaming music?
Tanks, for very informative tests

[Q] Best Music Player and Best Video player

Which is the best music player and best video player for Milestone 2 (considering hardware n stuff especially when it comes to video)??
It would be nicer if the video player can support formats like avi, divx , flv etc.
I bought PowerAMP as music player but haven't really played around with it. Though I think it's a decent music program. Others swear on winamp. I never had this program on my computer, since I looked for something else. On the marketplace PowerAMP had really good rankings!
For videos VPlayer is the way to go. There is this 30 days trial shareware. Try it out, it eats everything you throw at. Avi, of course, divx, I think xvid, not sure about flv. Try it out and buy it if you like it!

Thanks for the reply mate..
I myself have found WinAmp pretty good..
As far as VPlayer goes, I did try the trial version. But I had sync issues with a 720p .flv . After trying it this question actually came up..
There also is this VLC Player coming for android. I heard rumors. Are you following smartphone news?
Here you can see the progress: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/vlc-android.git;a=summary
I do read around. But did not stumble upon that.
Seems like good news. May be we'll see VLC on android soon and hopefully it will live up to its desktop counterpart.
And I must add Cinema (by Greg Millam) is a nice video player for Android. Though it only plays whatever your stock player plays (as it uses hardware decoder). Still it is good.
Okay, Im going to give it a try. Thank-you!

For Audio I use the standard CM9/10 Apollo app for my music and my video app is QQ Player. It plays everything, avi, mp4, flv, mkv and any almost any other format out there.
Hello guys!!
Well, for audio player, the best for me is Poweramp!! So much good!! I've tryed Winamp, Doubletwist, and so many others... Poweramp is the best!!

I used to use PowerAMP.now I get soundbest player in my phone.I think PowerAMP is the best,but I donnt like its dazzling setting and its UI.
I recommend MX player and Dice player.
For music I use UberMusic... it's beautiful and very functional. Worth every cent.
For video I use MoboPlayer.
Give a try to the awesome ³ (Cubed Player) from Filipe Abrantes, if your music has correct tags.
MX player for local videos, vevo and vimeo for their online great stuff.
musicXmatch for music and MX Player for videos
What's the best player full for android?

PowerAmp is just an awesome app!
Power Amp Agree its awsome but i have to use apollo because power amp dont start automat when i plug headspeakers ;/ pilot didnt work to. Also have a problem because power amp take all audio from sd card... so i listen to music and...i have movie..and i have my recorded voice calls...this is ridiculus
Hi i prefer the rocketplayer for music(very good for all formats) it has good equilizer setting possibilities,and for video i take MX player too, there are more codecs included.

Hi,
I also use power amp and mx player. And for both apps you can choose the folders to scan to avoid having your ringtones or other sounds played by the player... as for me, power amp starts playing music when I plug a jack. I am using cm10 from Tezet.

Searching for a good video player like mplayer or vlc

Hi everyone,
I am searching for a good and stable free video player for my U8800 and as a linux user I prefer mplayer or vlc. Is it possible to get an app of mplayer or vlc fpr my phone? I have searched around the internet and I have found only an alpha version of vlc that I am using now.
Many thanks in advance,
Ponder
I prefer BSPlayer, it downloads codecs and subtitles automatically.
I have tried several players and found Mx player as best. mobo player is other good one.
Try MX Video Player from Android Market.
I used Moboplayer for a long time, but now I use MX Video Player, it's much better 8I use in my Asus Transformer too)
Dice player seems to do a good job for me...

[Q] Best kernel settings for heavy screen usage?

Hey all,
I'm just about at wits end with my Note 3 battery (SM-N900W8). I watch ~1 hour of a movie or TV show using MX Player Pro, with 1/3 brightness and my battery plummets to 75%.. I've tried looking to see if there are other wakelocks that are killing my battery, but Wakelock Detector has Google Play Music and MX Player Pro at the top of the wakelocks (for the movie playback and music playback).
Does anybody have a good setup using Trickster Mod or something, to try and save and lower the battery drain that I get when I'm watching a movie or TV Show?
I'm running stock rooted, Lean Kernel v3.11.
Thanks!!
