For what its worth... I've downloaded and played with pretty much every big Media Player on the market in the hunt for perfect Gapless Playback. From my testing I can say that it does not exist!!

The player I found to handle it the best was GONEMAD MUSIC PLAYER. Although there was still a very very slight gap in between songs. Listening to mix albums or Pink floyd albums (as Member was saying above) tend to provide a pretty good test to any 'Gapless' player.

I only hope that JellyBean can solve this!!

MEMBER - I've downloaded your app to give it a go too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
So far, playback of all my "gapless" albums using my app with the new Jelly Bean code has sounded perfect running on my Galaxy Nexus. I've played through my Pink Floyd collection and have been very pleased that the gaps are gone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GoneMADSoftware:
There is more to gapless playback than just playing one song immediately after the other finishes without waiting for the completion listener for formats like mp3 and aac. This works fine for the natively gapless formats like ogg and flac
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
That's probably true, but whatever needs to be done to make gapless playback work is being taken care of by the process I describe, when using the setNextMediaPlayer() method. The documentation for the SDK indicates that this is what the new method is for, and it definitely works for the MP3 format, which is the format that I use for my music collection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGoodtunes:
Gapless solved (but 1 issue remains)

Yes, works for my MP3s, and they are encoded VBR (variable bitrate), on my S4 Mini with ver 4.2.2 of Jellybean. Tried lots of other players, none has true gapless playback. Finally, Just Playlists and Just Playlists Plus have solved the gapless issue. This leaves only one other major feature still to be desired but not available in any Android music player: Skinnability

There are music players on Android that let you choose skin style, color, etc. But not one supports skinability via XML coding, yet. (Hopefully, somebody can prove me wrong by pointing to a truely skinable player. Or better yet, Keith Folsom will provide skinnability for JPP's main UI screen?) ;)

Edit: UberMusic appears to have been skinnable for years! (I'll soon find out for sure.)

http://www.ubermusic.com/skinning/

Edit #2: Now I find that Poweramp has gapless playback, is skinnable, and has a currently active forum thread for skinning:

Gapless Test results

Did some testing re gapless playback with MP3s on my S4 Mini. Here are results:

The stock Samsung 'Music' player:

UberMusic Player:

PowerAmp:

Just Playlists:

For details see my report, here:

https://googledrive.com/host/0BywTBh0QvABcQXY2R3pYUGk2cm8
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGoodtunes:
Quite right. Sorry to have miss'd GMMP in my recent tests. Better late than never; it has now been put to the same test, and has come out better than Poweramp for playing tracks completely with smallest gap. But still, Just Playlists remains the winner for zero gap with slightest cut into a track.

GoneMAD Music Player:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eKeith:
I have no problem with gapless playback using Player Pro on ShinyROM 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 or any previous AOSP-based ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGoodtunes:
Maybe because you have OGG music files, or AAC with gapless info in ID tags? When I put PlayerPro to the same test as above, the result was a 0.427 second gap with waveform similar to UberMusic. But it was the *trial* version, which had some playback selection choices gray'd out. The gapless checkbox was gray, but it clearly was check'd. I don't know whether this means it functions the same as the paid version and nothing at PlayerPro's website nor on Google Play Store provides any clue re gapless playback or differences between trial vs paid versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eKeith:
All of my files (excepting my Amazon auto-rips) are Level 5 Compressed FLACs ripped with dBpoweramp.

I also do not know if there are any differences/shortcomings with the trial version of PalyerPro. Perhaps you can consider purchasing and testing within the 15 minute refund window...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGoodtunes:
Apparently, FLAC is 'natively' gapless. Amazon rips vary widely, some VBR, some CBR, some even go a little way into the following track! Thanks for the 15-min refund idea, didn't know about that. Bought it for keeps anyway, due to the nice way it handles my huge oldies folder, better than any other player for that useful listing.

Got the same result as trial version out of the box as is. Gapless setting was still gray. I figured the DSP pack is necessary. After installing and activating, there was a big improvement. No more clicks, first track no longer getting cut off short, and the gap got reduced.

PlayerPro (with DSP pack):
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GoneMADSoftware:
are you testing with properly encoded mp3 files with the gapless metadata written to them? 0.2 seconds is WAY to large of a gap for a properly encoded file. while playerpro and poweramp are not perfect.. they do a better job than that and GMMP does it flawlessly with a properly encoded file. It sounds like this just playlists is just cutting part of the start of the file.. none of the other players you mentioned attempt to do that if there is no gapless data written to the file.

I've watched sample by sample (printed out the number from -32k to +32k in a debug build) the transltions of songs in GMMP and there is no silence as long as the file is encoded correctly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eKeith:
Glad to hear you achieved some improvement. PlayerPro suits my needs and taste very well. I also installed the DSP pack and Dark theme. I can't live without a gapless player because my Pink Floyd and solo Gilmour and Waters collections are continuously recycling on all of my playback devices.

Much thanks for your waveform reports and analysis. Please keep us posted with any updates...

PS

FYI: I use MediaMonkey on my Win7 Pro DAW/Media PC for perfect gapless playback, "large" (>8000) NAS file management complete with editable tags and artwork within a very user-friendly interface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGoodtunes:
I'm not 100% certain. I can only hope my tagging software is doing it correctly.

(1) After ripping to WAV and editing, I add 1 second of dead silence at each end of the wave.

(2) Next, I compress WAV to MP3 using Lame 3.97b2 (--preset extreme).

(3) Then, I use mp3Trim PRO 1.80 to remove silence (typical cut: 39 frames from end, 30 from beginning).

(4) Finally, I use Tag&Rename 3.0.6 to apply ID3v2 tag with this setting:

My hope is that "padding" refers to gapless tag information?

It's really great to see GoneMADSoftware post such a comment, because gapless playback is of primary importance. And GMMP has become my favorite player after buying it only a few days ago. It is soo easily customizeable into having the best mainscreen. Thank you so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGoodtunes:
I tried an experiment: using mp3Trim PRO to remove 8 frames from the beginning of the 2nd MP3. And now GMMP is giving me just 12 milliseconds gap. That's less than 1 frame of an MP3. Excellent! Just Playlists is still totally gapless, but it lost about 77 milliseconds cut off from the end of 1st MP3. Here is summary of results:

Geeze, mix'd feelings here. Happy to have gain'd nearly perfect gapless playback, but now I have to remove 8 frames from the beginning of over 4,400 MP3s! Good thing mp3Trim PRO can do batch processing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGoodtunes:
Final Gapless Test

Having read in several places that LAME encoded MP3s have gapless metadata embedded in the ID tag, I decided to do one final test using the same two tracks, but re-rip'd using LAME only (no extra silence added to WAV, no trimming of the MP3, and no tagging software applied). Here are resulting waveforms, zoom'd in to the last cuk of 1st track, through beginning cu of the cudaak at start of 2nd track:

GoneMAD:

Poweramp:

PlayerPro:

Just Playlists:

So, for properly tag'd MP3s, all four can give truely gapless MP3 playback, though a couple of them cut-off an amount so tiny as to be nearly inaudible.

Summary:

GMMP and Poweramp are a perfect match with each other and to the original track ends in terms of waveform, though individual sample values differ slightly. (Poweramp has slightly lower amplitude, though peak values are very close.)
[HTC One X] boobinator:
Recently switching from a iPhone to HTC One X I was absolutely loving my new phone for almost a month. But all of a sudden yesterday the screen stops working. It simply does not display anything. But the touch screen still works, and phone works too(if i swipe i can hear the phone unlocking, press home it vibrates, etc, basically phone is working, but display is not). This is not the first time this happened. It happened 3 days ago for about an hour and the screen started working by itself after the hour. But after the last time the screen stopped working it hasn't come back on(i was hoping it would, but it has been 2 days). Also i feel like I should mention this, both times the screen stopped working i was using Nes.Emu(a NES emulator). The screen didn't turn off suddenly, at first the screen stopped responding, stuck at like an image. I noticed the phone was working even then, but the screen just wasn't responding. After that i locked the phone and the display went dark, and hasn't come back on since. I even boot into bootloader and it still wasn't working.

Now i wont get any warranty as i unlocked the bootloader thus voiding the warranty. Currently have ARHD 6.1.0 rom on it. I have no idea what to do. I was guessing somehow going back to stock, then relocking the bootloader before taking it to HTC, dunno if they'll do it under warranty. But thats not my biggest issue. I am travelling South Asia this summer(bought the phone from India), and basically dont know how the hell do i even give it to an HTC support center, cause I'll have to come back to the support center to pick it backup and i wont be in any place that long.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Tried holding the power button for 30 seconds?
[HTC One X] nikorette:
try running an RUU that matches your cid/sw version (1.29.XXX.11).

Look here for the RUU that matches your sw version. Don't forget to flash stock recovery and run fastboot OEM lock before you run the RUU.

http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
[HTC One X] boobinator:
Yep. Many times.

Will running an RUU that matches my CID return me to stock firmware? I thought that only updated the Hboot or something?
[HTC One X] Mcyates:
Yeah, it also re-locks the phone.

Its worth a try. Can you not even get the bootloader up? Poer button + vol down?
[HTC One X] boobinator:
Yeah, I assume i can get into bootloader since the rest of the phones works fine. But the screen does not even work in bootloader. I will try doing what you suggested, but kind of hard without the screen.
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
It sounds like Hardware fault rather than software.
[HTC One X] boobinator:
Yep, but i want to be on default software with a relocked bootloader before i send it to HTC. Since you're a Docomo user i'll assume you're from India. I was wondering if you have any idea about HTCs service in India? How much time do you think will it take them to sort this issue out?
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Can't you use recovery mode and restore a backup?

Before you start with the emulator again you could test for a few days without it and see how your screen responses?

Other things you can try is flash a different rom?

Even return to stock is an option to investigate?

Reading your story it doesn't look like a hardware failure but more as a software bugger.

Just a taught. :)
[HTC One X] nikorette:
Yes, it returns the phone to the stock state. RELOCK before using the RUU. Install the correct stock recovery before relock. A link to stock recoveries are in the cwm thread.
[HTC One X] boobinator:
Well it seems that i am just out of luck. It turns out the RUU that I will be needing 1.29.720.11 is not yet available for download

I do have a Nandroid backup of my stock rooted rom if it will work somehow
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
That's all you need.
[HTC One X] wildbizzar:
I encountered the exactly same problem as you did. HTC replaced the main board and battery for me, problem solved. Hope this helps
[HTC One X] iTeeXDA:
I have the same phone. I have a nandroid backup of the stock rom. Don't know if that'll help you.
[HTC One X] boobinator:
Thanks for the offer iTeeXDA, but i managed to get back to stock(using nandroid backup). The issue seemed to be that i had named the folder of the backup rom(no spaces).

Now what should i do next? I imagine i should be reflashing stock recovery right? Then relocking the bootloader? Will i run into issues cause i came back to stock from a nandroid backup?

EDIT:So, ok, i went back to stock recovery and relocked bootloader. Phone keeps booting into hboot after i relock bootloader. I've unlocked the bootloader again and the phone seems to have booted
[HTC One X] LakshayX:
If u can't see anything then HTC people also won't be able to see anything..so go ahead with the phone as it is..n as somebody has already told u that they will be replacing your board the firmware is gonna be gone anyways..I guess I am correct here ...

N this is India man..here HTC people cannot even tell the screen resolution of the phone..forget about the bootloader..happened with me when I took my Note to Samsung ..
[HTC One X] anethema:
Unless they DO replace the screen and boot the phone finding the bootloader unlock then charge for the repair haha. Doh. Let's hope not.
[HTC One X] chandika.ravi:
@iTeeXDA can you please upload your nandriod backup for 1.29.720.11.I want to go back to stock but was not able to find the RUU for the same.
[HTC One X] GUARDIANBD:
May I have the nandroid backup as well ? Pretty please!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gsxrchick:
i just got it, but for some reason, i dont think its working. It could be user error too! I followed the directions, but the screen wont turn on or off when i put my eyes in front of it or move them away. isnt it supposed to turn on when it detects your eyes and off when it doesnt?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
No this one is just for when your screen timeout time runs out, if it see's two eyes looking at it then it will keep the screen on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gsxrchick:
haha, told you it was user error! Ok, that works!! Do you know if we will get one that operates like the g3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Roaming Gnome:
Any idea on how to make it stop talking? It randomly tells me I'm adjusting setting or going back to the home screen. I believe it is this app doing it because the phones never done it before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gsxrchick:
the app hasn't talked to me at all! It must be another app that is talking to you. that's weird though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] anomalya:
Did you get a different version of the app with a hidden talking feature? 'Cause then, I want a refund.

Most likely it's your voice app or Talkback from your Settings >> Accessibility.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robocup555:
This application is over. The lite version is free to test over the market. But it doesn't work with low light. The best application for me is Sceeble and it's also free on Play Store. It works with the sensor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] android_robot:
is "SCEEBLE" that you suggested spelled right, because i can't find it on the Play Store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robocup555:
It's SCREEBL without E at the end of the word. Download from the market it works perfectly and it's free.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fatski:
Back in the days before the unlock tool, and before I got my Prime, I have a vague memory of checking this forum and there being ROMS that could be installed without unlocking or using CWM.

Anyone know if there any of these still out there, or if you can somehow convert existing ROMS for use without unlocking?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
You cannont flash a custom rom without being unlocked and having a custom recovery (cwm, twrp). The stock recovery will only flash roms signed by asus. So it is possible to downgrade or flash previous asus provided versions of android using the stock recovery if you are rooted. There is a thread on how to do this in the development section.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fatski:
Yeah I'm rooted. Just wanted to check out custom ROMS but I'm scared of unlocking because of the warranty implications. Didn't think it would be possible, but my vague memories of seeing custom stuff before unlocking was possible prompted me to ask.

Did I dream this, or was there some limited customisation going on before we could unlock?
