OK, I think of myself as font lover. Roboto is nice indeed, but it ain't xeno. You'd rather see XenoAmp using Roboto? No problem, can make it a preference. But 400Kb, man? Seriously? Are you running XenoAmp on PC AT 640kb? Besides Roboto exists only from ICS, right? XenoAmp runs on Gingerbread too, I'd rather make it look consistent. Edit - OK - Jura is for some reason bloated, but I can probably shrink it a bit.

1. Does Android mediascanner support AlbumArtist tag? Mbusicbrainz Id tags? Display/sort tags?

2. Does Android mediascanner support files on smb?

3. Does Android mediascanner support online audio streams?

If answer to all these questions is "yes" then I can look into Android mediastore again.

The media root question keeps coming back, probably I'll make it ask at startup if you want to select your root. I kave over 2k tracks on my phone and it takes about 2 minutes to scan them for the first time. Subsequent scans are faster. Check out this thread about the beauty of android media storage (in one word: it's bad...) It has many issues with tags, multi-cd releases and so on.

I just thought about installing the market version so I would be reminded automatically about new updates, but now it FC on me?? previous v0.12 was ok
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Is it 0.21 release that's failing? What Android?

Edit: I don't get it. I activated 0.21 in google play for the third time this day!
[Android Apps and Games] TaranQ:
Yep latest 0.21 on SGS+ BroodROM 2.3.6

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

Hmmm and ofcourse I lost my playlists now :/ realy wish we could save them to sd ......
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
Hi Ssuukk, you would be disappointed... look the pic.
[Android Apps and Games] TaranQ:
That would be great I too have all my music on ext_sd/MUSIC so all other directories I don't care about and don't want to go through process of selecting all possible dir's with some sort of music files (ringtones, alarms, whatever) and add nomedia files.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Aaaaah! Now I understand what you need! Can do!
[Android Apps and Games] TaranQ:
That would be great, that's been one of my biggest annoyances in other players. Being able to even uninstall and re-install a music player and still have (restore) your favorite playlists :)

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

One other thing I noticed in 0.12 version (maybe solved already?) is that the titel at first startup only starts scrolling after a screen rotation .....

Btw does the player support reading m3u files? can't seem to find a way ...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
On 2.3.x? Yes, I know that, probably easy fix, but I had other priorities.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
NEW RELEASE 0.22

- Fixed ugly 2.3.x notification to standard look

- Case insensitive sorting (might still be case sensitive in some places, so tell me)

- Headphone and room calibrators work, you have to field test them, though. May require tuning. No equalizer profiles yet, so... you'll have to remember your settings ;) Do not turn off or rotate your device during calibration, as I didn't have time to handle it.

- Presistent playlists. Live through XenoAmp deinstallation. You have to copy you current playlists from XenoAmp data to <storage>/XenoAmp manually
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
Congrats on your app's review on AddictiveTips! http://www.addictivetips.com/androi...-gesture-controlled-music-player-for-android/
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I still can't replicate your problem with volume. Can you give me step by step instructions on how you do it?
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
I simply launch XenoAmp, create a quick playlist from a folder, start playing. And when the track moves on to the next one in the playlist, the volume boosts up. Anyways, I am now on a GB ROM. I will let you know if that problem goes away on this one (database updating as of now.. )

UPDATE: I can't create that problem on this GB ROM. I guess the AOKP ROM had a bug. Thanks for keeping a tab on this issue. If no one else is seeing it, I guess you can checked it off from your bug list.

May I make one request: Is there a quick way or any way to delete an mp3 from within the app, or open the folder containing that file in a file browser like Total Commander?
[Android Apps and Games] TaranQ:
Could you explain? I looked in <storage>/XenoAmp but there are no playlists there ......
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
@ssuukk,

Found a little bug with in-app file browser (using the .22 version),

- I was browsing the in-app file browser and then switched to an external file browser (Total Commander), deleted few folders under /sdcard. Now when I try to access FILES from XenoAmp, the app force closes. Even after rerunning the file scanner ( I feel recursive ), I am now not able to access Files from XenoAmp. It always force closes.

UPDATE: The above mentioned force closes stop happening once I restart the phone (and allow the mediascanner to finish its job, I guess).

- The folders under /sdcard do not sort at all. But the alphabetical sort of folders in my music folder look fine.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Playlists were kept in private application data directory (probably visible only on rooted devicrs) Now they are stored on storage/xenoamp

[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
The headphone calibration seems to have worked great for me. Will let you know if I notice anything weird.

Before the calibration, when a song became very silent, it felt as if the song had paused. But just as I feel like checking if my phone or the app shut off for some reason, I find out that the song is still playing. Could that be due to lack of calibration? Or due to XenoAmp freezing up mometarily? I will update if that repeats, now that the headphone calibration is done.

UPDATE: Even after headphone calibration, the silence in music becomes just too silent. I compared with PowerAmp's audio output. It feels as if the song pauses momentarily, and that is feels very obvious.
[Android Apps and Games] TaranQ:
Woww that's great news! Finally a way to backup my playlists :) Great work, thx!!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I don't think I understand it, BUT at last I could replicate your volume bug! Can you elaborate about this silence thing?

Volume bug now fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
In some kind of songs, take the oldies Grease album song "It's Raining on Prom Night" for example, the song is in a conversational tone and the volume becomes very low in between. If I listen to the same song on PowerAmp, the whole song feels continuous, the volume rises and falls feel continuous, analog. But in XenoAmp, it feels like the app cuts off the audio drivers when the volume goes below a certain threshold. The volume fall during the silence periods of the songs feels sudden, digital. It sounds like "[lyrics][absolute silence, no volume, nada][lyrics]". That's the best I can describe in words :) I could have made a video of that so that you can hear the audio. But I am going out on vacation for 2 weeks. I can help you more after I return home.

Woohoo! ROM related? Or could happen to anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Not rom related. Discoverable only when you listen on low volumes, indeed connected to jb.

Ok. Room calibration creates reversed gains. Meaning that after calibration (all you galaxy s2 users) you have to change signs for each frequency. :)

Same thing happens with other media players. It's some kind of Android thing. I use an app to manually trigger a rescan. I helps sometimes, but other times it can take a reboot and/or extra time for all my media to update properly. Here's the app I use, there are a few others just like it.

Would be great if you could easily (and automatically) create a playlist with recently added music (like the last 100-200 songs).

Man, the headset calibration makes a difference ;) this player just keeps on surprising me.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
UNEW RELEASE 0.23

- Fixed some new FCs.

- Calibration data for new devices: GT-I9000B, GT-S7500L, GT-S5360B, runnymede, ST15i, hallon, grouper.

- Tutorial for those... less adventurous. Check it out, maybe you'll learn something new!

- Fixed JB volume bug on gapless playback

- Fixed room calibration phase, now it works as expected

- Embedded lyrics view

- White skin enabled, still needs much work, though.

NEW STRINGS AVAILABLE NOW.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It's there, try it. Tell me if the tutorial is ok, or should I make it more like.. "for dummies"

[Android Apps and Games] mpiekp:
Calibration data for hallon, is good for haida too, only difference is camera module.

Moar:-

Theme switching is nice ;) light is really clean looking (as long as your screen is ;))

The demo is great, short enough not to be a burden and should stop any further one star reviews.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Great to hear. But I see I have to tune gesture engine more, as yesterday my wife had problem with simple gestures. She has very uncapacitive fingers, though.
[Android Apps and Games] TaranQ:
I think volume gesture should have sensitivity setting... I hate rotating 5 times to get volume up or down.....
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Good point!
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
Yep this is my though also.

A litlle suggest, could you add info about version running?
[Android Apps and Games] ifyouwant:
Nice

oh, thanks, that's so perfect... i will try now.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Like to see version number in xenoAmp?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
NEW RELEASE 0.24

- New calibration data: haida, cdma_targa, ST25i, LT18i, olympus, daytona

- MASSIVE rewrites in database module. Everything they write on stackoverflow about android mysqlite handling is wrong! It should also reduce memory usage.
[Android Apps and Games] Fat_boy555:
What do u need to have the calibration data implemented?
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
Yep
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I need you to have calibrated home entertainment system and a finger to click "Room correction" in sound view. Try it.

Lol I dun have a calibrated home entertainment system...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Then find a geek who has and try it there.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Not only your wife, even when drawing a perfect circle the volume turns up, down, then up again. Nothing serious. :)
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
Well... For those having bad capacitive fingers. A simple work around... Use HW volume button. They still are usable.

Just in case....
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I am not surprised. Gesture decoder is the oldest part. Back then I didn't know either Java or Android :>
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
When I want to place a widget it tells about lack of space, though there is enough.. What am I am doing wrong?

Nova Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
Could be that "resize widget" is active?

Hi Ssuukk, while I was playing with XA earphone calibration see something weird... Minor but still given feedback.

Translation is not except.button cancel. Button next is in language I dunno... Delja or something like that all other text is English whilst the player, tutorial etc is French translated.

Btw earphone calibrator works fine.

[Android Apps and Games] Jimi_K:
I don't know if there also have been stability improvements in version 0.24, but for me it's much more stable (CM10). It now also plays songs that crashed the player before.

For me XenoAmp is the best player for creating playlists.Still, may I request some changes (improvements)? But first a question. What are the red lines under some words in playlist. Playlist and file list view (also DB list views, but might be other reason) are far from scrolling smooth for me. Do the red lines use processing power?

DB view for artists with more than one album: when having clicked on an album and it is enlarged to screen width and the track list is shown, you can swipe to the next album. But it won't stop if there are multiple albums. I'm then touching the screen to stop the movement. By that I'm already selecting a song from this next album what I don't want (and sometimes I have the bug that no track list is shown or only shown temporarily). What I would request is something like for launcher screens. Move to the next album and stop there. Just go on after the next swipe. The workaround I have for now is when done selecting songs for the first album, I'll use the back button and afterwards touch the screen to the right so the next album is shown.

All list views (and most interesting for me): could you implement a scroll bar? The list are often very long and it takes many swipes to go to the bottom. I was thinking either about an android scrollbar that you could drag from top to bottom (or wherever you want). Or some custom scrollbar like for "Go contacts" where you have letters that you can jump too.

Still I have to say again: great player. Been following since the beginning. I think it's good that you did not follow every recommendation from the Google guys. But I love that you integrated controls into the notification bar. Thank you and please keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It happens for me with many different widgets and launchers. So it's safe to say it's not XenoAmp fault :D

There's still a lot of unlocalised strings in XenoAmp, when I code I usually don't like wasting time on resourcing them out, and that's the reason for this, sorry. I will be fixing it... slowly.

Hee, heee.... The red lines are due to some weird build settings of you ROM! It happened to me once, too. It is... the spell checker! Don't know why it works that way, but it's funny. Btw - new release has completely rewritten playback engine. I wouldn't mention it, as it should be transparent to all of you, but these changes should stabilise it even more, especialy regarding applying DSP effects.

Yes, snap to magnets. I am going to implement it... eventually. Same for scrollbars. You see - many of the widgets, like the sheet are my own from scratch and they don't support a lot of standard features (i.e. overscroll glow). It is on my list, but since they're not a show stoppers, I am leaving it for later.

Thanks. The google guys are also glad I didn't. :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
though all others widgets installed can be placed?

interesting way of argumentation. I rather do not comment on that :D
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Many widgets, when using 3rd party launchers, take more height than they're supposed to. That happens with XenoAmp's widgets (4x2 becomes 4x3), hence the error. A simple fix: place it on an empty screen, resize it to the actual size, move it.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimi_K:
OK, thanks for the quick answer. I wondered if that was the case, but it marked some words it should know and others, that it shouldn't were not marked. Disabling the spell check really improved the smoothness of scrolling. So everybody that is unhappy, try going in Android to settings -> language & input and disable spell check (at least in CW10).

One thing about the german translation: in the playlist context menue there are the entries "Clear" and "Delete". In german it is translated with "Löschen" both times. My suggestion would be to translate "Clear" with "Leeren" (also meaning "Empty").
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
That works, mate, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Just do remember that current widgets are cr*p. I put them there quickly and carelessly, just for the sake of having widgets. They need to be carpet bombed and built from scratch.
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
OK, I see, but the rest looks really promising. Thanks to sush who told me about that.

This app is f#$%ing amazing dude!

Great widgets, nice notification usage, great and simple UI!

Sound is amazing, the only issue I ran into is that the Equalizer Headset test doesn't work. It just hangs up until I continue to press okay.

Edit: Actually if you don't mind @ssuukk, I want to link this thread to my Galaxy Nexus Sound Quality thread with permission of course :)

Edit2: Modded it, hope you don't mind.

Also wanting to show off that my widgets aren't displaying the music information.

[Android Apps and Games] sdotmouse:
I was wondering where your ideas came from, then I saw you had screen shots with Steve Reich on them in the tutorial. It explained a lot ;)

Awesome player you're building here. You make big improvements each update. In my opinion the only widgets you really need to bother with is making an awesome lockscreen widget. The notification panel widget is perfect already for me.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Could you send me the logcat? I think you're the first with not working headphone calibration, and that would be a pity, as it's a nice feature if you're about sound quality.

You've moddet the resources? Can I have your gfx? And once again - widgets are bad, they need a lot of work.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I suspect you're on a ROM lower than ICS? Yeah... I have to finish it. It is there, working but still just too rough to be shown. But since not so much work is needed, maybe I'll do it this week.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yeah, OP also explains a lot ;)

"Corrupted" apk or not visible in play store may mean it's not for your device. Do you have Android >=10? Xeno used to work on Froyo, but probably now it would require some work to brink it back.
[Android Apps and Games] withbloodskies:
Hmm.. is it possible to do so if it don't force close?

Yeah I understand, a music player on the market "soundbest" does this and works wonders for me - specifically for my hearing loss.

Sent ya a pm.

Never saw the widgets had an issue sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You can capture logcat anytime. It's explained somewhere in this thread, but since I am commuting, can't really help you looking.

Well, I was on a new ROM and tried it out again.. it worked but I'm unsure if it was successfull. It only raised the bass, either way it did work on my new ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] sdotmouse:
Nope. 4.1 and and 4.0. Just like a nice lockscreen widget. Mort Player lockscreen widget is a good example. Your general homescreen music widget doesn't matter for me, just a nice lockscreen one. End of the day the most important thing is listening to the music easily.

Edit: OP said a lot. Steve Reich screenshot made it clear :)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well if it moved anything means it worked. Did you hear all the frequencies? Because I think there may be a bug when you don't hear a frequency at all.
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
Amazing app love it keep the updates coming. I will list a few things to try and help!

I think you should put a .nomedia file in covers to stop them appearing in some galleries.

Also sometimes tracks play at a really loud volume and when you change the volume they return to the original quieter volume

Removing current song from playlist while it is playing causes problems

Sent from my Xperia S
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Points taken, fixed in next release. Except maybe this volume thingy, unless you tell me how to replicate it. Might be already fixed by new playback engine.
[Android Apps and Games] djkmito:
how I can set my translation for testing?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Send it to me. I have no idea how could you put strings.xml into existing APK...
[Android Apps and Games] andresrivas:
Tried, no effect :(

na, mine is ~300 songs, but it seems to be scanning the whole system instead of just the sd or internal memory

This time it went as little further (~14500 dirs) but stopped anyway.. here is my logcat

EDIT:

looking at the logcat it seems to be hanging in the /osh dir, which is webtop dir (I have an atrix 4g)... I'll try add a .nomedia file there, re-run the search and see what happens.

EDIT2:

Yup, that fixed it, anyway this could be useful for others having the same issue on webtop-enabled motorolas (atrix, photon, bionic, etc)
[Android Apps and Games] withbloodskies:
It hit 92k and then stopped.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
What's the "/osh" directory anyway? Disabling it in new release...

But did it get to "Finished" screen or just crashed? :D
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
NEW RELEASE 0.27

- New calibration data: shooter, SCH-R720, thunderg,

- Filebrowser: doubleclick header to play

- Filebrowser: play directory from track/dir context menu

- Filebrowser: default sort by title, not track number

- Many internal changes (playback manager, playlist manager) that should be transparent to users, unless new bugs got introduced. Should be much more memory and resource friendly when stabilised.

- Fixed black text on black background on 2.3.x :)

- .nomedia in Xeno directory to disable covers from being picked

- Fixed: weird behaviour on removal of current track from current playlist

Since there are many under-the-hood changes, Play store release will be delayed until I get some feedback from you.

Translators: three strings changed.
[Android Apps and Games] Fat_boy555:

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Don't know... Depends on what can you do... Translate to Chinese?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I see one crash. I suspect it is because of missing main playlist. Quick solution would be to create it manually in Xeno directory. The name is:

<your language main playlist name>.m3u8
[Android Apps and Games] withbloodskies:
In regards to HS Calibration - I used 2.7 V and this time it went through without some odd issue. I would recommend "I know its beta" using the same type of system as Soundbest or something similar.

These are my results on HS Calibration for Soundbest.

This is my result on XenoAmp

Let me state, it does finish* There are no errors or anything - if you do press "okay" too fast it will finish it and your results will be useless.

But you can tell it does work, it does finish after I hear all the beeps*.

I just recommend looking into soundbest hs calibration.
