I think PlayerPro is dead since it hasn't been updated for months and even on its own boards its usually dead and when people report bugs nothing really happens.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
So what's the best music player in terms of sq? I'm not talking about audio features like ewuslizers etc., but the music player that sounds the best on stock settings?

In my experience it seems to be poweramp. But are there others that sound better?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosswaa:
Poweramp, nothing else comes close

Let me know.what you think of neutron. I love it, even if the gui leaves a little to be desired
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
I've tried neutron and jet audio recently and I think poweramp has better sq.

However this also depends on the dac your phone uses and your iem/headphones.

Personally, I don't use software eq as a good setup should sound good without tweaking.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topolovich:
This is the easiest question I've seen on here.

The answer is NEUTRON.

There is literally no debate, no argument, nothing. Neutron is king. It has 64-bit audio processing and it will blow you away. I doubt many people love the grateful dead like I do, but if you listen to a digital soundboard copy of some late 70's dead on (insert music player here) and then listen to it on Neutron, you will immediately come back to this forum and reiterate what I am saying here. If you are an audiophile like me, there is no other choice. Trust me, I've tried them all. The only other one I like is SoundBest, but that's because it does the tuning for you. Neutron blows it away though.

Here's the best way I would put it, if you spent more than $50 or $100 on your headphones, buy Neutron because you probably care about music (or want to be a Beats fanboy - haha - JK :)).

Hey guys...

I was just wondering if you could help me out TTPOD.

Some users are saying that TTPOD is in JAPANESE and that the lyrics it downloads are also in Japanese.

Can someone please confirm this?

Poweramp is the best. worth the cost and going pretty solid for coupla years now. I have tried several other players. either there will be crashes and memory hogs or not worth for being a paid app. I see good ratings for mort and maven players. will give them a shot.But poweramp is not completely upto JB. the notification bar widget is not that good. sometimes it gets mixed with the background/wallpaper..

Damn.. the best feauture of TTPod was the ability to automatically download lyrics and if those lyrics are in japanese then it makes it almost useless.

Thanks for the heads up mate :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narzissus:
Yeah right, it's not completely up to JB, but in 'Settings' --> 'Misc' --> 'Tweaks' there's given the option to set 'no ICS Notification Background',

which prevents the notification bar widget from mixing up with your background.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bloodflame:
I've been using PlayerPro for quite some time. I like to try as many different music apps as I can, but I always return to PlayerPro in the end. The UI is simple, attractive (ICS theme), and I absolutely love having a 10 band equalizer with the optional DSP pack. Even using the DSP pack, the sound quality could use a bit of improvement though, however it is listenable.

PowerAmp has nice features, and I think the sound quality is even a little better, but the UI drives me crazy. If PowerAmp had a nicer UI and navigation was a little better, I think it would be the one to replace PlayerPro. But until then...

Since I use Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones with 28Ohms impedance, tweaking the EQ has become very important. Unfortunately, smartphones don't have enough power to drive these types of cans very well, so an external headphone amplifier makes a huge difference. I have a Fiio E5 (about $20) that does the job really well. As fas as sound quality goes with this setup, Google Music coupled with Equalizer by Smart Android Apps actually has the best sound, but unfortunately lacks the features I like.

TLDR; Put PowerAmp's features into PlayerPro's UI, and you'd have a clear winner.

IMO, you are all wrong! I stumbled across an app called Noozy. I don't know if I like the interface but the sound quality is incredible. Poweramp used to be my personal favorite but I don't even have it installed on my phone anymore. I also installed Noozxoide EIZO-rewire PRO which says it is for talets running 4.0.3+ but I works great on my phone. Both apps are free and it almost seems too good to be true. I'm finally happy with the sound on my phone. I even got rid of every other dsp app like beats and Volume+. Here's a link to the developers site: http://dogsbark.net/#home

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motenak:
For anyone who is trying Noozy with the Noozxoide EIZO-rewire PRO app there are a few things I've figured out that weren't clear to me at 1st. This is only if you are using the Noozxoide EIZO-rewire PRO app. Noozy appears to come with Noozxoide EIZO-rewire M so you don't want to enable something in both places. I think the PRO version is system wide and works with all media players but you have to enable it in the system settings. On CM9 AOSP it's menu>settings>sound>music effects>Noozxoide EIZO-rewire PRO. In the PRO app enable whatever you except the Balanced X EQ Processor & Maxxbass Processor (actually both on the same line so unchecking the ox disables both). Then in the actual Noozy app enable only the 1st of the last 3 items in settings menu. It should be the Balanced X EQ. The other 2 have already been enabled in the PRO app. By enabling the Balanced X EQ in Nozzy you can access the in app EQ while a song is playing. Just click the little EQ icon to the right of the album cover and the cover will switch to an EQ. If you get any cracking or popping then you have the same features enabled in another app. I hope I helped a little.

PowerAmp is best.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalJedi:
I've tried Winamp, Mixzing, Apollo, Ubermusic, and PowerAmp and while I like them all in different ways I like PowerAmp the best. Ubermusic has a nice looking UI but has been abandoned and lacked in features a bit. Mixzing never had a nice looking widget which bothered me. PowerAmp looks good and performs well regardless of what ROM I'm running. I only wish that DSP Manager and PowerAmp could work together.

NOOZY

noozy is by far the best audio player out there. it has an outstanding quality. basically it's an enhanced version of Zplayer,but the interface it's a lot smoother. for peeps who use Voodoo audio,just avoid to activate the Psychoacustic processor to keep voodoo bass enhancements. the nozy EQ will give no trouble with it.

man,Noozy player is a blast and i've tried them all. best audio quality you can get on android,for real. i'm sound designer btw,just in case you doubt my opinion.

also,for people who are having stability problems,just check your roms,i'm still on 2.3.5 :eek:,but noozy runs fabolously buttersmooth on there.

noozy has zune's interface style,totally slick. under the hood offers plenty of stuff..beside all the excellent audio processing features like EQ,bass boost,logic surround spatializer and psychoacustic headroom increase(do not use if you have voodoo),it has all kind of widgets,lockscreen UI,lyrics,artwork download,artist bio and similar artist finder. need more? that said,for me the main point of an audio player it's audio quality. noozy offers the loudest,transient-safe,crystal clear audio experience ever heard on an android device. audio will never sound saturated or muddy. after noozy/zplayer comes the stock samsung player+voodoo and then,a bit far after,there's playerpro/jet audio. all the rest is utter crap. don't know why poweramp has so many costumers,maybe because it was one of the first full featured players on the market..but i assure you,it's one of the worst ever when it comes to audio quality. it's bloated and its sound effects makes audio sound muddy as hell. just try it by yourself.

but hey,i'm not here to convince you,you have your own opinion..even if i have to say that audio quality is not an opinion,it's an objective thing.

Just tried noozy and it does indeed have very good sq.

However it seems to not dynamically scale with the device resolution all I get is album art and all controls crampped into one third of the screen. The notification controls also seem a little broken as all I get are the forward and pause button.

You also have to force close it to shut it down.

But does it sound better than power amp? It's too early to tell but from what I hear so far it has louder volume at equal settings but I seem to hear more instruments on power amp. I'll have to test further though.

PlayerPro or JetAudio. Can't go wrong with either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motenak:
I'm guessing it is a problem with your phone and/or version of Android. My phone has the same 1280 x 720 resolution and it fits the screen just fine. I'd be interested in seeing a screenshot of what you are talking about. I've attached 2 screenshots, 1 from my old phone (480x800) and 1 from my current phone (720x1280) and the app seems to fit both screens just fine to me.

Also, it seems that everyone has their own criteria as to what makes a player the best to them. Personally when I see a post "Best Music Player for Android?" I immediately think of sound quality and not how easy it is to make playlists or even how the apps looks. Most of the time while I'm playing music my screen isn't even on and my phone is in my pocket so I don't care how it looks. It's seems this debate is pointless as the question by the OP is too vague!

I searched the forum. It seems a rare case that misdeleting the service application.

The story is quite simple. I wish to maximize the use of internal memory so I moved some applications from /system/app to /vendor, where roughly has 120mb unused space. All these files had been created symbol links under /system/app. Most of them worked fine, except the GoogleServicesFramework.apk, which I reckon verifying its physical path.

So I moved it back. The sad part was that I forgot the symbol link was still there. The file overrode the symbol link which linked to itself therefore axed it to 0 byte. Soon I found how serious it was. All google related service were down, the play store, the talk, the map, etc. The google service must do some verification so I can't simply find a GoogleServicesFramework.apk to replace it. I can't install it either. It failed instantly.

I don't know the background of GoogleServicesFramework.apk. Maybe I should remove all related applications then find a package to install all of them. Is there anyone knowing how to fix this problem?

My Xperia Play is 800a, version 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-perf build 4.0.2.A.0.42. It is my first andriod device and here is my first post so please be kind.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creative_md:
well as you said you tried to install it and it instantly failed, it will

you should get that app and copy paste it to system/framework and before that CHANGE ITS PERMISSIONS

how? copy it to system folder go to permissions using root explorer and change them to r-w-r-r i.e tick first three row buttons and 2 column buttons
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiyue077:
yeah, I've checked the permission. It's rw-r-r. But every GoogleServicesFramework.apk I've downloaded are slightly different in size. I suspect this file is highly sensitive to versions.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creative_md:
i think you should try them and what you have got to lose:rolleyes:? if you want your system (without GSF.apk) back just make a nandroid backup.:p

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albanezi:
Another thing you can try is download a stock .ftf file, extract it and look for the file within the system files.. Copy paste and Bobs your uncle!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiyue077:
The problem has been fixed. Thanks to every one. You guys gave me a lot of hints. The solution was like that:

1, uninstalled the play store from setup and removed the incorrect version GoogleServicesFramework.apk under /system/app

2, extracted the GoogleServicesFramework.apk from a ftf package carried 2.3.4 version. It should be 2MB around. The previous downloaded one was only 1MB. Maybe that's the reason it failed to install.

3, installed it, not to copy to /system/app! Then there will be a file like com.xxx.gsp.apk under /data/app directory.

4, rebooted the phone and would see the google store appeared. All services returned normal. Hooray!

I didn't try to move it back to /system. Most apps in /data had been moved to /system and /vendor so there are 200mb left in /data, fare enough to me :)
