Findings upon emplacing some test files FYI:

.mp3 - plays

.m4a - plays

.wma - does not get recognized into Apollo or (obviously) play

CyanogenMod 11 M8 on a Samsung Galaxy S3.

Incidentally, can you tell me how to flush Apollo's cache after removing these test files, to put it back as if new (empty)? I didn't expect to pollute it in this manner by testing and don't want to risk unexpected behavior in the future.

Edit: Figured this out for myself. Settings > Apps > All > Apollo > Clear data ; Settings > Apps > All > Media Storage > Clear data.

I am really waiting for the day when Apollo will get update to edit Tags and add album art to tracks...
[Android Apps and Games] Frecciablu(2):
You can already edit tags u.u
[Android Apps and Games] TheAndroidNinja:
Can you please tell me from where can i edit tags?? Cz i cant find it..
[Android Apps and Games] Frecciablu(2):
You have v. 1.3.4?

Then just go in music list, long press in a song and "edit tags"
[Android Apps and Games] TheAndroidNinja:
Thanx man it worked,is there any way by which i can update album Arts also??
[Android Apps and Games] Frecciablu(2):
If you are talk of the image per song...

Go in reproduction screen (where u should see the almum art) , and click title of song. Now click the image and chose a image, frpm gallery.. Internet or let apollo search it (maybe he find it).

Aniway, to be a bit critic, in player almum art edit, no worked to me perfectly, sometime img lost quality, other time after a wek almum art disappear.

And morever each changement in player, isnt permanent. So i hv end up to use editor program, that left the edit in song file.

U can even add lyric just by pc (bt yet not supported in apollo)
[Android Apps and Games] TheAndroidNinja:
Thanx man , i found those, but to me Apollo is still not the best player,found a new player named ACE MUSIC with really cool design but still not the perfect

in search of a new player but no options
[Android Apps and Games] Twacrs:
Try nexmusic. Really nicely designed, and updated fairly often
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:

[Android Apps and Games] mauro25987:
install Apollo Music Player 1.3.4

how do I view the lyrics?

as in this image
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
It's not implemented, sorry. Read the first post spoiler if you want do dig deeper.
[Android Apps and Games] BFMSAND:
One question before Hand, even thought this update with lyrics isn't released yet, where do you get your lyrics then ?

Also from an lyrics Server like musiXmatch ? Cause those work for most Songs and are also implemented in spotify since some updates
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
I don't think that Spotify shares any api for that. I'd probably use musiXmatch.
[Android Apps and Games] Ranx91:
Hi,now i'm on version 1.3 ,i would try the 1.3.4 but i can't open the download page,it says :404 Not Found

can i have a mirror link???

thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] Sami Kabir:
The link mentioned on the first post works well for me. I just tried it.
[Android Apps and Games] bizantium:
Does it have an equalizer…?!
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
Yes. The one that's in your phone. If your phone has no equalizer then no. This player is built to be light and fast.
[Android Apps and Games] PatimusXPrime:
Thank you for this pal, I have been a fan of Apollo since my Dinc2 GB days. Your work is much appreciated!

Hi

I have 1.3.4. version

MP3 on SD card in folder MP3, but i run apollo than I cant see my music. I tried rescanSD also but without success.

where on SD should be my music?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Do you have a file called ".noMedia" in your mp3 folder? Otherwise ensure that Kitkat can access your SD card (root required, try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix).
[Android Apps and Games] yannick.12:
duplicate mp3 files :-/

I'm running apollo on CM11 nightlies on an HTC One Mini and all my mp3 files appear twice. HTC One Mini has no SD card slot and there is an emulated SD card. Presumably due to hard or soft links in the set-up, my sd card is accessible as any of the following (this is just CM out of the box):

/sdcard

/mnt/sdcard

/storage/emulated/legacy

/storage/sdcard0

and possibly other links too. I am reluctant to start removing these links because for all I know different apps are accessing the SD card in different ways. Deleting the app data for Apollo does not fix the problem (and neither does rebooting, or upgrading CM to the latest nightly). Any advice? It's getting kind of annoying.

EDIT: I seem to have solved the problem myself; I cleared app data from the "Media storage" app as well as Apollo, and then rebooted.
[Android Apps and Games] robisrobis:
Hi

in MP3 folder i do not have ".noMedia" file

I also tried your suggestion SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD (also I tried Rescan SD)

but still I do not have my mp3 in apollo

when i copy those mp3 to internal memoory than all is ok (but SD card is not working)
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Hmm, you may clear Apollo's app data/cache and reboot, otherwise I don't know anything else :(
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
What's the exact location of your files?

Anyway, it's a problem with your media server for sure.
[Android Apps and Games] robisrobis:
/storage/sdcard1/Mp3

and I also tried

/storage/sdcard1/Media

/storage/sdcard1/Music
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
It's a problem with your rom/mediaserver then as Apollo is using what your device offers. There was a guy with the same issue as yours and he confirmed that the issue was on his side.

Hi,

First of all thanks very much for this great audio player.

I'd have one feature request despite of the swiping to switch tracks

on the now playing- screeen, which is already on your to-do-list.

When I shuffle a playlist of my library, it's not possible

to go back to the previous track, when the shuffle arrows are turned on.

Maybe you could change that in one of your next updates.

Would be great, thanks.

Best regards

Nick
[Android Apps and Games] robisrobis:
I tried also :

Settings > Apps > All > Apollo > Clear data

update

Hey man,

when ya gonna update. it has been 2 months and i am still waiting on the skip backwards thing to work.

i donated all i could.
[Android Apps and Games] yumeyao:
I want to thank you for the 'edit tags' feature.

Android media service s*cks because it always tries detecting the text-encoding of metadata. There is some sense doing this for legacy formats like MP3, however the more commonly used way in this case is using the 'native encoding' according to the current locale. In contrast to the legacy MP3, for any advanced formats like OGG/AAC(M4A), or even MP3 with ID3v2, there is no reason to auto-detect the text-encoding and doing so only hurts if the detection fails, because the text-encoding is either defined as unicode in the format standard(M4A/OGG, always UTF-8) or user-specific(ID3v2, not commonly used but it's allowed according to the format specificaion).

Therefore the media library is messed up with mojibake(google or wiki if u don't know, as i'm not allowed to post links) for me because I listen a lot to Japanese pops. One thing makes me laugh most is our 'smartest' Android media service misinterprets the text-encoding in one field but interprets it correctly in another field for the exactly same text (in cases of song title/album title being same). BTW, I use AAC(M4A) mostly.

Your modded version of apollo saves my life. As far as I am confirmed, the tag editing is done in library level, and the tags are normal even in other music apps after the edit. (Although I only use apollo for playback I just tried this for confirmation) Thanks a lot and please keep it going.

I don't like your music player touching the real files, this should be done with a computer. Just keep it in this way, or if you eventually decide you want to touch the real files, please leave an option for editing ONLY in library level as well.

Thanks.

--EDIT--

[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION], Is there any way I can contribute to localization?

BTW, what a lurker I am :)

--EDIT2--

Not perfectly helping with the media service. Songs in the same album with album title interpreted differently will still be listed in multiple albums(with the same name) even if I change the album title.

So I may want to look into the media service to see if there is a chance I can fix it.

--EDIT3--

fired a bug in android tracker. code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81428
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
Sorry, I'm really busy with my real life. Christmas is coming though so I'll have time to do that. I'll also have time to learn even more about Java and I'll do my best to get that done. :)

It's not really modifying your files at all. It saves tags to your mediaserver. The actual files are intact, which is good in your case. :P

I PM'd you my github. You can do some localization pull request there and I'll be glad to merge them into the app. :)
[Android Apps and Games] yumeyao:
yes I had read through the change log and found that info that's why I decided give it a try ;)

i'll update the localization when I get free time to work on it.

Currently I can live with the multiple albums issues (not your fault, the smart media service's). Once I get more free time I may still want to make it perfect to fix the issue in the media service.
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
Sure, take your time.
[Android Apps and Games] denyo81:
Test some good smartphone music player. But i'm going always back to Apollo! It's for me the best music player for CM11/CM11s.

But I found an issue:

Sometimes when I using Apollo.

Shuffle activated but I don't set this option. Long press on the shuffle button fix the issue for little time.

Testing with my oneplus one rom CM11s.

[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
Yes, Apollo 2.0 got renamed to eleven. I'll flash 5.0 just to try it out as it works only on 5.0.
[Android Apps and Games] Frecciablu(2):
That app is open source?

You can get command for lyrics?

:)
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
It is, but it's somehow protected from compiling the code straight from git.

Lyrics there are fetched from .srt files in the mp3 file or from the directory of the music, so nope.
[Android Apps and Games] djfinalflash:
Hello, I was wondering when the version for GB will be released, if it hasn't been already? I've downloaded nearly every APK in this thread, and none of them seem to work. And the version I'm running is outdated. :( I absolutely love this music player, but I was wondering how, when, or if us GB users will be able to experience an updated version?
[Android Apps and Games] SpyrusTheGreat:
google it for apollo + lyrics and i have found that from 2012 they exist.

Thanks man! Just curious, where did you find it? Pulled from a Sys Dump or something?
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
You're welcome.

Actually, somebody posted a github link for this, so I started digging. It failed to compile on eclipse, on purpose I guess, so I asked around on XDA RC/RD/RT etc. hangout. [MENTION=5093942]KINGbabasula[/MENTION] was kind enough to send me the apk. Thanks for that man! :)

Sill haven't flashed 5.0 to try it, lol. Camera n mic not working = no 5.0 for me.
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
Well the app works on my Moto x 2014 running 5.0. Its a nice looking app but missing a bunch of features that Apollo has. The album art fetcher being the main one I need. Hate it when my lock screen is missing the art. Since the art doesn't show it has a pink box with a music note in it, why pink? I dont know. Aside from having a 'material' look to it, it doesnt bring much more to the table. It does give me access to the built in Equalizer from 5.0 which is cool but I dont even use it.
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
I'll propably finally get folder playback for the Apollo this or next week.

What I can promise is some touch of material design for 4.4 :)
[Android Apps and Games] lexi81:
Great to have an updated version of Apollo. I'm back on CM11 since a week and I've been annoyed by one thing since..... Apollo shows one artist as the album artist of a compilation album. So on my paired bluetooth devices with display I see the same artist with different songs. I hoped your improved Apollo would fix this, it hasn't. So I wondered, is it because of the way I tag albums. Or is it the app? Anyone else experience this behavior?
[Android Apps and Games] Sami Kabir:
Eagerly waiting for the upcoming version :D

I hope that you fixed that issue where clicking on the "Back" button doesn't go back to playing the previous song (when shuffling is turned on).

Good news and bad news

Hi guys,

I was trying to bring material design to the Apollo today. I spent about 5 hours straight trying to figure stuff out. I thought I just might not be experienced enough to do this, even by following the guides all over the internet on how to get material design using support libraries in order for it to work on pre 5.0 devices. I asked for help on our RC/RD/RT DEV hangouts at the point I felt that I'm helpless. Well, some stuff was moving forwards.

We were getting closer and closer, but still not there. Vishal tried to help me, [MENTION=4775688]GermainZ[/MENTION] tried and then Geetesh Kalakoti joined. He did all he could to help me, we were really moving forwards, but at some point when everything should work properly, it didn't. Action bar had it's title set using resources instead of actionBar.setTitle and so on.

Thanks to Geetesh Kalakoti from putting me out of this project as this wouldn't lead me to anything good. I started this project in order to learn Java and improve the best player I've known so far for me, which I thought was Apollo. As it turned out the code is really bad. Maybe it's extremely outdated, maybe it's poorly written, I don't know.

So what?

Nothing. This project is abandoned. Thank you guys for all the support you gave me, but this just doesn't make sense as I'm going around the code I don't know, that's not as clear for me and it's also not well-written.

If you need more features or stuff, switch to some other players. If you're on 5.0 then Eleven CM player is good with a Apollo look.

What's next?

I'll slowly learn Java. I'll start with calculator and move further on to reach my goal - a perfect, nice and lightweight music player which would share a simple UI and easy access to everything.

It's been a long ride. Thanks to everyone that helped me, thanks for all of the support from you guys and thanks for using this app. It's really awesome when you see about 10k people using your app everyday! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Frecciablu(2):
Ehi bro, dont write as this, feel as you hv lost "enphasis".

You may have some knowlodge to get, but its normal, informatic evolve.

Anyway your music player is awesome and ill keep use it for long :)

So thanks for all your work. And if a day you will make new app. Say it ;)

apollo on stock sony firmware

HI friends,

I'm using sony xperia sola (4.04) with stock rom, because all cyanogenmod for pepper that I've tryed are buggy, so I came back :-\

Now I've installed on system Apollo player for 4.04, and seem work fine!

But I would like to know if is it possible to install on stock firmware the CM equalizer. Could be wright? :)

many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
It lags on LG g3? O.o uninstall Viper then, that's weird.

My Apollo works on your 4.0.4 rom?!
[Android Apps and Games] kinfolk248:
Yea it does stutter unfortunately. Just rode about 30 mins and had 2 stutters (that I noticed at least).

Uninstall viper, really?? If I uninstall viper music is gonna be super low volume lol ;-(
[Android Apps and Games] SovPanda:
Maybe olokos can port this for all device? :D
[Android Apps and Games] kinfolk248:
Anyone know of a good music equalizer and/or a sound boosting mod since Im about to disable viper...?!
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
Viper should only enhance the sound. The boosting function should only be an additional feature. viper4Android isn't meant for boosting sound, but improving it. You can't really improve a loseless formats, but whatever. You should get a volume boost mod such as this one for boosting the sound. EXAMPLE. There are different versions of viper and the SUPER version or whatever the most complex version is called can really get heavy on the CPU usage and will make your battery life worse and I belive you chose this one. It's REALLY bad to see that your G3 can't handle it whereas my Z1 or even much older phones can handle it with ease. Uninstalling viper should fix your clipping problem.

Just search for volume mods if the volume boost is all you care about in viper or switch from super/ultra viper mode to normal or minimal. That should fix the clipping as it's completely unrelated to the player itself which shouldn't be laggy on any device that got official android 4.1+

Not worth it/there's no point in doing so.

This player has been built around Android 5.0 which uses many of 5.0 API's, not to mention that it's still in development. Last time I tried it it didn't even have any link to the equalizer and had nothing in "About" section. Even if I would really push my skills hard for whatever reason it's still going to be updated with more 5.0 API's which would mean infinite porting and updating and this app isn't really even that useful. You have many better alternatives such as this player.

Since I'm still using this player then I'll try to fix the inability to switch to previous track with shuffle enabled, but no promises at all on this one. I might do that, I might not. It all depends on how much I'll get annoyed by this. If this won't annoy me at all then I won't do this, as simple as that.
[Android Apps and Games] kinfolk248:
Ok thanks for the feedback and Info, really appreciate that...! I'll try the power saving mode, its the lowest mode of the 3. Also, I use viper b/c it is most often built into rom(s) and I just havent found a 'louder' mod that doesnt distort sound on G3.

Someone also told me it could be that Im using an SDcard... ever heard that one?
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
I've seen a volume mod in a form of a zip on the forums here, have you tried that one?

Theoretically speaking yes, practically speaking - it shouldn't be any issue.
[Android Apps and Games] kinfolk248:
Yes I have seen that thread and I plan on flashing that tonight when I flash a LP rom b/c it appears to be better suited for LP but I'll see tonight after I get my fix lol
[Android Apps and Games] kinfolk248:
Update: Completely disabled viper and still getting clipping, stuttering, hiccups or whatever they're called these days... I have no idea what to do...

Im wondering if it could be another setting somewhere on the phone that is conflicting with apollo but Idk where to look for such a thing...
[Android Apps and Games] Frecciablu(2):
Have you reboot after disable viper?

Anyway you use a custom rom, rt? No official?
[Android Apps and Games] olokos:
Exactly. It would be nice if you'd give us some info about your phone as we don't have a glass ball with all the answers. A logcat would be nice too.
[Android Apps and Games] kinfolk248:
Sorry I thought I mentioned what phone I had, maybe I didnt sorry. But yea I did reboot the phone after disable.

Verizon G3, 3 gigs ram, AOSP 4.4.4 custom rom, stock settings no performance tweaks, music is on sdcard.

I think it may be rom related b/c I tried a diff music app and got the same thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Frecciablu(2):
If you have a performance controll app just go there in memory setting, and put them in normal or light. Then test again.

In my rom i had an aggressive memory killer, and it was close apollo, or play music.

Now i use a different set and all is good.

~that setting was also give trouble with a game that i use, which seems to use high ram usage but have low priority, and each time my ram is low it was get forced close...~

For you i hope that setting is in aggressive (for sure isnt ram problem).

Or i no have more idea :S
[Android Apps and Games] kinfolk248:
Ya know, thats quite insightful [MENTION=5738974]Frecciablu(2)[/MENTION] lets hope for the best. Yea the rom has 5 low memory presets. I'll give that a shot. THanks!! Be back later this afternoon/evening to report back...
[Android Apps and Games] meisanerd:
One other thing to consider is the SD Card. What class is the card? If it is a slow SD card, it could be causing that, especially for higher-quality music (like high bit rate MP3, or FLAC files).

Does it stutter if the music is on the internal memory?
[Android Apps and Games] kinfolk248:
Update: I think its a combo of low memory killer and my sd card... Guess the sd card argument is right (at least partially)... Tried a class 10 card and internal memory and it was golden, my card is class 4 but works fine with other devices, its just my G3 that lags, so who knows about that one. might try one of those sd card booster apps/scripts to see if that helps...
