Guys if possible - describe your first problems. It is very important for me to improve new user's experience. There are thousands of users, but it seems they got used to xenoamp. What I need is make new user's experience better not to discourage him/her. I'm currently working on new better tutorial, that will enable moving step forward back and some other goodies, but still - need your feedback on what was most annoying/strange.

Force closes all of the sudden? When doing anything particular? Without a reason? The more info the easier to find the error.

OK, on first run Xeno is adding your current media to the database, since it's reading tags from each file, it is quite heavy on the system (ok, it shouldn't be on HTC One...). Could you just wait until the initial scan is finished?

That could happen if you selected a currently unsupported format like APE, MCP or whatever (FFMpeg is there but barely usable - it just plays single song). If it isn't the case and double taping an album or taping the song in playlist doesn't start it then I would need a logcat.

Can you see the equalizer? Is it 5-6 bands or 10 bands? If it's 10 bands, then there's your integration with v4a. To "move it" just tap on it, anywhere above or below baseline at desired frequency.

If I have enough time today I'll prepare a test version for all of you, but this won't happen for at least 10 hours. :)

I can help you with anything if you prefer you may contact me via email - ssuukk2@ google.

Can you see the equalizer? Is it 5-6 bands or 10 bands? If it's 10 bands, then there's your integration with v4a.

So first question - how did you add tracks to playlist without them being seen by xeno?

OK - so you don't have Viper Audio installed, but you can see 10-band equalizer? If yes - could I have a logcat of starting XenoAmp?

No sound during headphone calibration - see post above.
[Android Apps and Games] mav744:
yes, i grab a logcat and make Screenshots, when i am ready, i share it

edit : weird, yesterday there was a 10 Band, today there is a 6 Band, but yesterday in the afternoon i update to the newest nightly and yesterday i tried Viper, but It doesnt work and I uninstalled it and after the uninstall and befor the update there was a 10 Band.

but, the Problem with dont moving sliders in Equalizer are there, Do you need a logcat for this?

one Suggestion about the calibration and Equalizer issue.

Viper doesnt work with the newest nightly from CM, because CM changed something with the audio in LPA. when all the People Who have issues has updated their custom Rom and they base on the CM 10.2 nightly after 30/9 it is Rom related.

here is the original Post from Viper thread

Acid is crazy outdated.

I'm using V4A on a "Bluebo B9500" (mtk quad core) works flawlessly.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Regarding the issue of incompatibility between new cyanogenmod and V4A, Viper520 (Jason) has reviewed the code changes causing the incompatibility and concluded the following:

the 3 commits causing the incompatibility enabled the Low Power Audio (LPA) mode of android. This disabled any ability to process systemwide audio effects. A program like V4A will never work with LPA enabled.

If users want to use V4A, they should either not use these new builds of Cyanogenmod, build a custom build of Cyanogenmod with LPA disabled as Metallica had done or petition the CM team to make LPA a user changeable setting.

i like it but..

using withe skin some menus are not visible, seems text and background a little messed up,

and.. on lock screen I got FF and REW button on the circle, but how can I skip track if it isn't locked,the ring only shows the general options, same as swiping from the right

and again.. can you please add an option or decrease the speed of song name text in the main screen? the animation is making me crazy

ok, I like this player, but as someone stated before, we, the average users, are not rocket scientist...;)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You can slow down the scroll speed in prefs.

To skip tracks on main screen, sweep left or right. You can swap directions in prefs.

AWESOME!

First of all: thanks a lot for making this awesome app.. it's really different from any music app. I just discovered it yesterday and it blew my mind.. just awesome!!

But equalizer, bass boost, virtualizer and calibration just don't work at all, I'm using the last nightly from PAC. (it may be an issue with my ROM)

It's not a complain!!! Don't get me wrong!! I like this app!! It's one of a kind... and it sure has a lot of potential!!!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Ok, it shows that the area receives touch and converst it to decibels. I wonder what's wrong then. I'll add some more logging.

Good to see one positive comment in latest flood of problems from new users :) There is a problem with equalizer on some devices, but bass boost and virtualizer do work in such case. If you're not using Viper Audio, I would blame it on your ROM, unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] commissionerg:
Hi. Thanks dev for this wonderful music app. Definitely the best out there.

My question is can someone please tell me the proper format for the dynamics address. I've tried all kinds of variations from just replacing hostname with the first part of my subsonic address to deleting the entire template and putting my full subsonic address; and also deleting hostname and putting my full subsonic address. I've tried all of the aforementioned with and without the port number as well, but nothing ever shows up in my library from subsonic. I can access subsonic fine from the browser so it's not my subsonic account.

I've literally spent hours searching for an answer but I can't find one. Please help.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Here's what works for me:

xeno:/service/subsonic/xxxx.subsonic.org/

then put proper user name and password, then tap "circular arrows" and it should start syncing.

The music will be in music view, you may show either all or filter by local/subsonic.

Headphone calibration test version here

Guys, attached here is a test version with headphone calibration that bypasses setStereoVolume that is broken on some devices. The resulting calibrated curve seems to have wrong magnitude (it seems to be *0.5), it will be corrected later. Now jujst tell me if you can hear the sound and if it has different volume with each step.

Well, I just disabled DSPManager and that was it: eq works great... I mean... GREAT :D. But Viper Audio didn´t... tried it with other apps (like apollo) and viper worked fine.. but not with xeno.

[Android Apps and Games] kvevand63:
Recently made the change to XenoAmp. Currently running CarbonROM nightlies (CM10.2/4.3.1)/Blasphemy 6.3-4.3 kernel/E4GT. Also a longtime Viper V4A user. I do have Viper 2.3.1.1 running in conjunction with 2.81 eq fix, however still not able to calibrate headphone or adjust eq. Viper shows driver installed, enabled and processing, but Xeno is not detecting Vipers 10 band eq, showing 6 bands detected. Xeno was showing 10 bands detected with the calibration fix. In any case, the sound is amazingly clear and crisp, cleaner than PowerAmp which I have been using until recently. Fantastic player, even if I cant calibrate headphones or use Xenos eq, I wont be switching back to any other player.
[Android Apps and Games] moparfreak426:
I have a problem. My music is all on my SD card but after importing or downloading music to xenoamp, I couldn't figure out how to use it so I was just going to use apollo, well, my music wasn't there, so I figured, I'll delete xenoamp then, we'll deleted it, disabled and wiped data and cache for apollo, enabled apollo, then wiped Davlik cache, cache, all in recovery and my music is still not showing up in apollo. Any suggestions?

OK, I'll make it a preference then.

It probably requires some more debugging and mutual tuning. BTW, I've received update about Viper equalizer stopping working:

If you got any further problem, i'll make some low-level API, so that you can manage V4A driver directly.

Mon, as much as I would like to help you - I can't. Unless Xeno formatted your SD card, which I'm sure it's unable to. Sometimes connecting/unconnecting USB triggers Android media rescan, you might try that. Oh, wait. Are you sure you didn't put a .nomedia file in root of your sdcard?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release 0.281

New: Preference to enable Viper Audio (see behavior prefs), without it Xeno sticks to default equalizer

Fix: "select root directory" request will not bother anyone anymore

My only concern is I haven't yet worked out how to skip to the next track. I always have to pull down notifications and do it from there. All this is rather tricky when operation is performed from holes made either by rabbits or worms. PmT

That's why to skip track back/forward all you have to do is sweep left or right on main screen :D

I selected my music to be put with whatever xenoamp does, my music folder on my external sd card

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Let me rephrase that. The only thing that comes to my mind that could effectively "remove" all your media is a ".nomedia" file put somewhere up the path. This file is a standard Android way of saying "don't scan this folder for media". Since it's a hidden file you won't see it in most standard browsers. In xenoamp though, you will see a directory labeled clearly "no media" - which means it lies either under a directory that has ".nomedia" inside or the particular directory has ".nomedia" inside. In such case select directory context menu and choose "flip no media", or whatever ir is in your language.

OK, so it's certainly not .nomedia. Heve you tried forcing android media rescan? I really can't think about anything else, as Xeno is not touching default Android way of handling and indexing media (besides being able to add and remove .nomedia files)

It's going pretty well with Xenoamp,I listen to a lot of music. It's pretty cool how it's incorporated my Google play music collection. It FC during the tutorial. Also the notification makes it difficult to bring the running application to the front without causing it change the current track that's being played. PmT
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yeah, tutorial is the weak spot. I hate coding it, but i know I have to...

You know you can expand the notification by sweeping two fingers together? Also it's a bit strange, as with only single notification present it SHOULD be fully expanded. Maybe it's some ROM setting?
[Android Apps and Games] Podmantastic:
Duh, you're right I can expand the notification with a two fingered swipe. I'm on stock 4.3 and it defaults to a single line. I'm getting more comfortable with the app. There is bit of a learning curve. Perhaps you could remove the tutorial code and refer to a video or manual. Thanks for the prompt responses man, good work.

[Android Apps and Games] jithuelad:
I thought this player have lots of FC's with 4.3. But it looks like I am the only one having FC's. Crap. I even thought about going back to Android 4.2 just to make this Unique player working. Help me guys. I have mainly three issues :

1. Lots of FC's here and there. App is not stable at all.

2. Every time I start player it asks me to choose music directory location which is really annoying.

3. Not working with head phones. It shows playing but no sound at all. Also can't increase volume.

Do ya think? Do folks prefer video manuals to tutorials? You know - I hate the tendency on the net to have video thingies. Video this, video that, video shmat - I don't have time to watch videos, I'd rather read it quickly. But, you've made a point. I'll start a survey.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well - 4.3 has one major bug, that I finally decided to bypass than try to fix. It occured mainly on double click in music view = random FC.

Asking for music directory shoul be fixed in this release, BUT if it ain't go to prefs, credential prefs, and then manually add your local music directory. Then rescan. That should fix it.

3. Headphones? It happnes on mine 4.3, too (slimbean), it's somehow their fault, too. I can bypass it by going to home screen (device home), Bring up full volume panel (with all controls), manually max them, get back to Xeno, try to increase volume. It works most of the time. BUT again - it's broken only on 4.3.

[MENTION=767982]ssuukk[/MENTION] No matter this player worked or not but you are the most promising developer I have ever met on XDA. Proper reply, awesome support. I will daily check this thread and I hope the player will be stable soon on 4.3.

One more thing , importantly fix that headset bug. I am not able to enjoy music with head phones :(

Tried your suggestion but no luck.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You can fix it by selecting behaviour pref that falls back to system 16-step volume scale in Xeno (it will disable replaygain, though). To fix this headset bug the ROM has to be fixed! Unfortunately CM/AOKP or whoever is responsible for this generally f*ck bug reports.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, that's what I suspected. I was sure I corrected that. I think it could be fixed by removing your current presets. If you don't want to, then I'll fix it in next iteration.

hello [MENTION=767982]ssuukk[/MENTION]! what about the calibration problem? have you found some time to give a look at that? don't want to sound harsh or impatient (sorry if i look like that)....i'm just extremely curious to check the difference and the real potential of the earphones i use :D have a nice sunday!

Oh... But other music players are working well Na. That's why I said like that. I am a common user, I don't know any stuffs related with Android developer.

And for Nexus 4 there is no other ROMs than CM/AOKP :(
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I thought so - now XenoAmp is creating different volume waveform for each pass instead of using setStereoVolume, but it seems AudioTrack.play itself is broken! I'll see what else could I do to play a track...

Yes, they are working, as they are using "standard" way of changing volume. XenoAmp can do that too, all you have to do is enable a preference. You won't have 64-step volume and replaygain. That's it. :)

It's quite hard to believe how many things are broken on different devices! Surprisingly HTC are worst in this area.

Actually I think I know what's the problem. It's the high volume warning. It shows up somewhere in the background (don't know why) and prevents xeno from setting full volume (which gives best sound quality)
[Android Apps and Games] commissionerg:
Everything was working good but now I have a few issues I've noticed:

* I was updating my subsonic library and when I went to update xenoamp the songs I removed wouldn't disappear. So I cleared data and they disappeared. Now all of my songs aren't syncing. I can see them on the main screen where it shows the percentage that subsonic IA completed, but they never actually show in the music section.

I've even gone as far as uninstalling the app and deleting all folders associated with xenoamp but no dice. And of course I tried to clear app data too

*Second issue is I can't get any of the 8track list to play. I just signed up so don't have any personal list, so I tried to just use the top list. The playlist snow up bit when I click them they don't start playing. I even tried using the three dots and clicking play.

*Last, it seems as though if my subsonic songs don't have the proper tags they won't play. All songs that have proper tags do play, although as far as I know all my music is tagged properly so I don't even know what songs they could be.

Despite all of this will still be my primary music app. It plays music excellent and the headphone calibration IA awesome with my Shure Se215s. I will likely never use another music player again--unless for some strange reason it just all together stops working. THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH A USEFUL APP!

:D
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Most of these would requite a logcat (do you know how to prepare one?) - I've listened to 8Tracks juts 8 hours ago. Only one question, though - are you sure your music view isn't filtered to show only local files? That would explain why you can't see subsonic.
[Android Apps and Games] commissionerg:
No. Ive never done a log cat. I can see subsonic but not all subsonic music. Every time I uninstall and resync xenoamp the same songs from subsonic always sync and the other half never show up even through I see them on the home screen during the syncing portion. I'll research how to do a logcat and submit one
