MP3 Player

Morning all
Sooooooooooo , after putting some of my favorite music on my DHD last night, packed my Sony BIN headphones and set off this morning , only to discover the stock MP3 player is rubbish ! , no volume or anything.
Any suggestions which one is best to use ?
Thanks
Steve

My suggestion would be PlayerPro. After trying many, this has everything I ever wanted from a music player.

thank you for the quick response
That one costs money though
Any good free ones ?

DoubleTwist seems to be the best right now.

Tried , and its great thanks .....
Is there anything I can do to increase the volume ?
It seems so low , even at top media volume
Thanks
Steve

Most custom ROMs have volume enhancements on them, but if you don't want to go down that road and are already running a Gingerbread ROM, then try an app called Volume+ from the market. If you're on Froyo, there is DSP Manager but personally I don't recommend it.

DoubleTwist is a rather complete player. Try it out.

I'd suggest Double Twist or this https://market.android.com/details?id=org.abrantix.rockon.rockonnggl&feature=more_from_developer

Yep, doubletwist is good, no question there. It's just that since I'm kind of a neat freak when it comes to folder structures with my music, I really appreciate the option to browse by folders; something most players seem to lack. I also liked the album wall display of playerpro, but of course as you said its not free.

Bought PlayerPro also. If you listen to music alot, its really worth it^^ Also theres an option that you can skip songs with volume buttons, thats a great feature in some situations.

Thats all great thanks , but the volume is still low , is there anyway I can increase the headphone volume of MP3's ?
Thanks
Steve

Double Twist is great and works

Custom Roms should help with volume (have a look at my sig)

If you downloaded it from the Market and it's called 'Volume+' then you have the right one, but it only works on Gingerbread. When you run the app you have the options of applying volume gain to the speaker or headphone output, and you can also change the EQ. There's a Bass Enhancement option too, but I've never known it make any difference.

Give PowerAMP a shot if you want to browse by folder. There's a trial version on the market. Best player I've seen.

Oh ....... the one I downloaded was Volume Plus, not Volume +
I see its £0.99 , I know its not much but I havnt got a card to pay it with at the moment ..
Is there a free version anywhere ?
Thanks all
Steve

There's no free version unfortunately, but £0.99 is more than a fair price to pay for it if you can convince someone to lend you their card
Someone mentioned PowerAMP earlier. That app has an in built equalizer and some of the presets on that make the volume a bit louder, though if you're playing music for a long period of time then this will take a toll on battery life.

1) It happens to me as well sometimes. I believe it is the aggressive memory management policy of GiONEE which keeps killing the Whatsapp process. It doesn't really bother me. But if you are rooted and have installed Xposed, you can try installing the "App Settings" module and make Whatsapp 'resident' app. which will keep the app in the memory.
2) You must set your choice of Keyboard as default in "Setting/Language and input"

It happens with a lot of devices. Aldo happens with HTC One X and S4. I would suggest you use something like ES File Explorer or SupeBeam.
Go to Power Manager/Power Settings and disable 'Auto Clean'.

You and iFedebankai are on fire

After one day of using I can say that this rom is faster than cm11.
The only problems I got are:
1)Headphones didn't work for me (see a temporary fix below);
2)Vibration is too much weak;
3)Sometimes messages from Telegram or Whatsapp don't display notification until I open the app.
I like so much the UI becase it's different than the other roms. Good work!
FIX FOR HEADPHONES:
If someone got problems with headphones just follow this little guide for a temporary fix:
1)Download from Google Play this app: SoundAbout
2)Open the app, then tap on Phone Call audio
3)Tap on Earpiece (the audio is now coming from front speaker)
4)Put on your home the widget for this app
5)When you want to listen songs from headphones, you have to tap on the widget (should see the writing "on")
If the widget didn't work, then open the app, tap on Media Audio and select Wired Headphones.
PS: This app is a trial version so this fix stop working when the trial expire
PPS: Fix tested on s7390
PPPS: Bug reports tab doesn't work for me

link not working, please update the link

wow, a new rom!
The download is generating too much traffic so now i can't try it, i will try later
thanks

Check my thread. Don't post without checking.

Good Work Guyz

i've tried, this rom have the exactly same issues of cm11, but with my "fix"(in-app video works but lag and sometimes colors are altered), i've had the same headphones bug, and also i noticed a battery drain(i don't know if this is caused by me or not, but in 6 hours it was discharged by 50% and i've used it about 10-20 minutes).
Also if you try to view a youtube video in browser, the browser crash(in cm11 video don't work but no crash)

nice rom
faster than cm11

.irs files for VIPER4Android?

Hello fellow XDAers, I was wanting to know if anyone knows where to get good quality .irs files for use with VIPER4Android? I have downloaded some from the internet, but don't see much change in the quality of the sound. Some do and some don't. If anyone has advice on where to find good quality .irs files and don't mind sharing please do so, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
?If someone helps you, plz thank them?

If u tried some and u didn't notice a difference.. chances are it may not be processing .. did u check the driver status to see if it said yes of no on processing .. I know I have been using the default music player with v4a and it is flaky.. only sometimes randomly working .. I'm still looking for a good simple player that will work 100 percent with v4a..

I'm not saying that all of them don't work I downloaded a bunch. Some of them work and I can really tell a difference just not exactly the sound I'm looking for. But there are many that I cannot even hear the difference. I know the setup is good everything is processing and running as it should.
As for you I use Poweramp and I always have. It works really well with V4A. They have some really awesome themes to go with it. I do have the paid version though
.
?If someone helps you, plz thank them?

well I just recently discovered that after I installed v4a.. I went to the priv-app folder.. found the sound alive folder.. I removed it.. essentially forcing v4a to be used by default.. now if works flawlessly with the Samsung player ( which I kinda like) and Google music.. I assume by not giving Android an option on what dsp to use. it has to use viper. but I am an novice and mostly tinker ... break and fix things to learn ..lol

G900V ? BL / TWRP

Music player seems to crash and forget Shuffle and Repeat. Anyone else?

The stock music player seems to crash periodically or something is happening where it forgets that Shuffle and Repeat were selected.
Is anyone else experiencing this and does anyone have a workaround?
Thanks,
Etienne66

I have a workaround that is way too obvious. Try another player. I really recommend Poweramp (ability to output 192khz 24 bit) or shuttle.

Personally I do not care for solutions that add advertisements or cost money when the built in application should work properly. However a better alternative would have been VLC. It is free and has no advertisements. I'll give that a try, but I would still like the developers to resolve the issue or at least put it on their todo list.
My main goal was to see if anyone else is experiencing this problem and to see about opening a bug report so that it might be addressed someday. I just don't know if it is limited to the klte branch or if it affects other phones. I was hoping to see how big the issue is. It hasn't worked correctly for years.
Thanks,

I ended up making Google Play Music my default instead of the Android Music. I still prefer Android Music. But oh well...

Certainly. I am rooted. I am running LinageOS version: 14.1-20170426-NIGHTLY-klte. However the problem has persisted since CM12. I had an older Galaxy S3 with I think CM10, that did not have the problem, but that was a long time ago. If you want a log with the problem, I can probably produce that.
I did wipe the phone before going from CM13 to Lineage and I did not restore from backup since I saw warnings against doing that with Titanium Backup.

To be honest. I have never tried the Stock Rom, but I would not think that Samsung would use the Android Music Player. I am currently using Google Play Music instead of the Android Music Player, but I have the widget on my desktop and every time that I see the shuffle and play all un-selected, I select them again. Usually within a few hours they are un-selected again.
I thought about trying the stock ROM, but from what I have seen it is Android 6.0. I guess I will give it a whirl though. Any recommendations on where to download a stock ROM?

yeah, to me, it doesnt sound like its worth the trouble. Id just try different aftermarket music players and stick with what you like the best. The nice thing about your problem, is that there isnt a shortage of music players to choose from, even free ones without ads. Have you tried viper?

I am not using Samsung Updates at all. Yes, I'm rooted. I am running LineageOS 14.1-20170426-NIGHTLY-klte. I've been experiencing the problem since CM12. When I upgraded from CM13 to LineageOS 14.1 I wiped my phone including data and then installed clean.
