Google Music

Has anyone thought of switching the stock music players with the google music player? i feel it would make the more aosp roms seem more authentic.

I applied back when it was announced at google i/o and still haven't got my invite
Edit: uh oh my first "first post" what what

same here, eat **** 10char!

I got my invite and it's pretty neat. It's taking forever to upload my songs though, only because I have so much.
A word of warning, it does not work on rooted phones. You'll know it's not working for you when you can't access the "Settings" menu.
I went to stock and the music streaming works surprisingly well.

but why!!!!! i want!

Yea I got a invite but haven't had a chance to use it because of that.

Mine too. Got my invite the other day. Takes FOREVER to upload songs - and you can only upload from your PC, not the phone. It duplicated the tunes I already had copied over, so that's not too cool. Works pretty well other than that.

EDIT: nvm, works fine for me on midNIGHT rom v5.3! Had to uninstall and reinstall and then I was able to view "settings."

Got an invite last week. Aside from the agonizingly long amount of time it takes to upload my music library, it works awesomely. Also, I am rooted (running SRF 1.1.1).

works great for me; i'm rooted on the Swiss Cheese. I wish the app didn't have such a big footprint.

Works fine on mine rooted as well. I love it. It did take like two days to upload like 2500 songs, but then I got like 200 free random songs for joining which was awesome. I'm on the Anonymous ROM v6 on EE03 and it works great. Why would a google "beta" not work on a rooted device. Then everyone at the developer conference would be out of luck I guess. Haha

rooted and working fine. this is the best thing ever, mostly just because i can access my library from any pc! i <3 google!

I received my invite today (applied using a proxy). I've installed the PC software but can't get gge app to download. The link in the music player takes me to the market but the install button doesn't do anything. Does anyone know where I can get the apk?

It installed fine and ran good for me. Gets laggy somtimes though.
Edit: I was messing around and discovered the cheats on the same for PC. Like GUNSGUNSGUNS for all... Guns work. Lol and im gonna mess around with the img file today to see if i can add car mods and etc. Like PC.

Got it running on mine, took quite a while to get all the extra files downloaded but it runs. Albeit a bit laggy at certain spots.

Well this sucks. I was going to purchase this today and now it's not even showing up in my market. When I go to it online it keeps saying that my device is not compatible with this app.

Same for me, just clear market Data and cache in the manage applications menu and reload the market. Then search for GTA 3 and it should be like the 2nd or 3rd app in the market search,
Although I can say it doesn't run smooth enough for me on the shift to play it. Works great on A100 tho

Once I clocked it up to 1.6ghz I played with it for another 30 minutes , and I can say it played better at that point (was playing at 1.4 before). Although there still were noticeable framerate drops alot of the time, but it was alot better than getting 10 frames a second 70% of the time.
At 1.4 there were times that the sound would keep cutting in and out, and I probably got 1-2 fps. Most of the time it was when I hit other cars or started speeding as fast as I could. (thats what GTA is about tho right? xD)
Keep in mind too I was on Sense so that may make the experience different from AOSP users.

So, I bought the game when they first launched but never downloaded it, when I tried to download it my device wasnt supported anymore lol so I had to google it up and found version 1.1 apk and I had the issues like the ones described in this post already.
Luckly enough a couple days ago the apk got updated to 1.2 and all I can say is that is very playable if you are in my situation you just need to download the apk (google it) I had installed the SD files already ( the ones for adreno gpu) because I actually bought it.
But if you want to try it you can get the sd files too from the black internet market :0
Im running Supreme sense, dodge kernet at 1.6 on demand, I bet the version 1.2 runs way better on a AOSP room plus you can use an external controller, but still I'm already progresing thru the game almost to the second part of it.

Yeah, I have it on the A100 too, its runs like a beast, I can't say for my shift though, since I'm waiting on a replacement. On my A100 though, the buttons don't quite scale right, making movement a little wierd other than that, fine though. Someone on AOSP (a mostly clean, not bloated AOSP) should try it and see how it plays.

Play Store App flickers when downloading. Anybody?

I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not on the forms here. This is kind of hard to explain..Whenever I'm browsing in the Play Store app on the N10, during a download the app itself flickers (almost like its refreshing) whenever the percentage moves during the downloading process. This has happened way before the updates to the Play Store app as well. I'm running CM 10.1 (Nightly) and the issue is still there. This was one of the first things I noticed when I was running stock too. I was kind of hoping that Play Store Version 4.0.26 fixed it but I guess not.
Has anybody noticed this issue? I highly doubt this a hardware related issue. Games seem to run awesome on it.
Any ideas?
- Brian

I have had the same issue since I got mine in December, running stock.

I've had this issue under JB 4.2 and ICS 4.0 on an Acer a500 and the Nexus N10, no fix found yet.

I get this too… it seems to me like a refresh issue, like the Play Store is trying to load up other images or something. Since no other app does this, I'm pretty sure it's just an app issue.

I've seen it on every rom, every version of the play Store... It may be the refresh for the download causing issues

Yes, because it makes scrolling through 'My Apps' a royal PITA. And sometimes, if its particularly fickle, it keeps returning to one single app over and over.

Thanks for the reply back guys. I didn't know if it was a hardware related or if its just a bug in the app itself. I see that version 4.0,27 got released today. Hopefully this will help!
@bahehs..Do you have jokes or something? I remember my first beer.

Still flickers for me, but at least it doesn't reset to the top of the list every time it flickers now.

Same issue when I'm viewing all my apps during download. Since I can now scroll through my apps during download I don't worry about it much anymore.

When I'm updating multiple apps, it will keep refreshing the first one to the point that I can't click on the next app in line to be updated, because I want to see what the new update has added or changed.

I have the same issue (flickering shop) on my Nexus 7. I've noticed that it happens while downloading larger files, especially games. Sometimes it freezes Google Play completely.
So far I haven't noticed it on my Nexus 10. (But it has different version of Google Play, as far as I can tell).

The latest play store 4.xx resolved my flickers.

Yup, flashing, barely able to see what was going on be it downloading an app or copying a film from a flash drive. Installed AOPK and it is fixed, one solid moving bar as it ought to be.

Mine does this as well. I just leave the play store so I don't have to deal with it. Completely stock.

I get this with paranoid android, but had it before changing. It not only flickers, but when I'm downloading, say, Gmail, and go to another app while in the "My Apps" view, it will revert back to Gmail. Very annoying.

(Q) Asphalt 8

I have annoying problem, when I tap some apps it's say unfortunately, the app was stopped. It's wasn't happening to me, I think it's because I blocked ads with the lucky patcher. How can I fix this problem? I waiting a lot of time to play in the asphalt 8.
By the way, when I try to connect to Google keep and search it's say the same thing, unfortunately Google keep has stopped. I really desperate, I need help, maybe it's supersu issue?

Perhaps you are just using a buggy ROM/kernel or you've used apps to restrict too many permissions of apps?

I get the same error on launching asphalt 8..

Like the other guys previously said, this problem must have something to do with custom ROMs. I'm on stock JB 4.3 (unrooted, locked bootloader) and the game runs perfectly.

Windy Day augmented reality app for the Moto X

Not exactly sure what this is but here are a couple of teasers that they released. Says it's launching on Oct 29:

Running the latest version of stock AT&T software, rebooted phone, connected to WiFi, uninstalled and reinstalled spotlight. Still no hat.

So I just turned my phone on this morning checking the web and this little red/Orange hat starts floating all over my chrome browser screen. Finally manage to tap it and it's pretty awesome. I don't really see the usefulness but it was quite entertained and probably looked like an idiot out here dancing in the shop following the hat.

I got it this morning too. Finally. A day late.

when i first saw the hat floating around my screen i got nervous like it was some new virus/malware. then i remembered i downloaded the app. While the content was fit for a child, the way it showcases the technology to be able to watch a movie in a full 360 degree field of vision which is pretty amazing. this has some great potential.

I haven't gotten it yet, but have not taken the ota, think that has something to do with it?
