I'm having an issue on the Pixel 7a (Android 14) where every next track in an album/playlist is silent (playing but not audible) unless I rewind. This also seems to be an issue with other music players on Tensor phones, and the only way to fix it in other players like BlackPlayer is to disable gapless. Can anything be done about this at all?

New version 9.4.13.A.1.5 released.
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
Thanks! The groundwork for the rebase is already done
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
I release the port as is, without major changes because they make it difficult to rebase
[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
Alright,

and anything for the Sony Album app that we last discussed here?
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
I have done some research and it sadly seems like a widely known issue with music players and tensor. Sony phones use Snapdragon SoCs so I don't expect Sony to fix this anytime soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
New release - version 17.0

Thanks, anything on about the album app?
[Android Apps and Games] Jckistan:
Hey there, love using this app a ton. I used to have a (working) M4 Aqua and this app is by far the best music app I've used.

I've been thinking of getting a smart watch lately, perhaps one running WearOS, although I'm looking into all possible options at the minute. Since I daily-drive this app for my MP3 files, I was just wondering if this app was possibly usable on a watch. I don't want to fill up the 16GB internal storage with my music, so I also wondered:

If this app isn't usable on WearOS, can I use a watch to control the playback from the phone?

@Pinguin2001 tagging you to notify, pls do share the latest universal mod.
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
Hey there, I'm glad you enjoy this app as much as I do! This app should run on wear is smart watches, esp. because Sony Music doesn't have any architecture specific native libs. This thread hopefully helps you: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-install-apps-on-wear-os-all-methods.4510255/

As for remote control, many smartwatches can do this, my Galaxy Watch Active 2 can do this, but it runs Tizen OS so your experience might vary on Wear OS
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
Hey, thanks for notifying me and sorry for not responding for a while, I had a lot to do irl. I rebased my mod on the latest version. Furthermore, I had to redo my pitch black theme patch because of some changes Sony did to the app.

I'm also experimenting with predictive back animations but they seem to be broken on OneUI with some apps for some reason?

Anways, I'll post the new version in a few minutes

Also thanks to res78 for the very latest version!

Pinguin2001

Everyone has their personal life & to balance in between, I understand. No need to be sorry

And thanks for the latest music mod.

BTW, earlier I asked you about modding Sony Album modding & you said you'd try, a month or two ago, since then, I've asked about any progress multiple times here but you never really replied on that matter

So here I am again, asking about the same (Sony album universal mod). Let me (us) know.
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
Right, Sony Album, I tested and experimented around with this issue but didn't really made any progress. Android 12+ blocks granting apps access to the root of a storage medium (such as /storage/emulated/0/ or an SD card) and this prevents the app from deleting files on the SD card. I tried adding the MANAGE_MEDIA permission but it didn't seem to help either. Maybe someone else has an idea what to do here
[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
Oh okay, I was hoping & counting on you bcz earlier the other modders used to mod Sony music & album app abondonded modding long ago

And currently, no one except you, is doing any Sony app universal modding that I know or have seen here in xda,

Too bad that we are missing out of one of the greatest album app out there & being restricted to use it.

Thanks for your efforts & let me/ us know if you have any progress for this album app in your future endeavours.

Hi @Pinguin2001

the latest music mod that you last published here, doesn't support the Android gesture anymore

it was there in your earlier mod, can you check on this?
[Android Apps and Games] NRGeekX:
Great Work man, thx for your job. Sony Music is only music player that i wanted to use :) the best on earth.

But on me phone V18 is crashing after use for 10-20sec :/ . Only v11 is working great and not crashing (me phone is OnePlus 7 pro android 10.)
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
SM-03 and NRGeekX:

V18 does indeed seem to have some issues which im not sure what causes them. They might be caused by their base, maybe because of my patches, im unsure.

However, I am aware of a few broken versions Sony has already shipped in the past so this might be another one of these.

NRGeekX:

This is really odd, does V17 work fine for you?

Edit:

Furthermore, Sony sadly seems to stop caring about its music app. The app still hasn't been updated with MDL3 nor has it received any updates in the last two months.

I really love using this music player and its sad to see it being neglected.
[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
@Pinguin2001

I am using the latest mod version & I've not seen or experienced anything except that issue I reported here earlier about the back gesture isn't working since this new mod version. Every time I use the back gesture i.e. swipe from either left or right, it exits/minimizes the app instead of going to the earlier screen

This is really inconvenient for the gesture users as I've been using Android gesture since A11, & now with A14, it's been almost 3 years.

IDK whether it's the issue with Sony's codebase or anything related to your MOD so I reported it here to you for checking. Can you test & confirm this issue from your end?
[Android Apps and Games] immortalucas:
v18, false positive?
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
Yes, this is a false positive caused by me using a test key to sign the app.

[Android Apps and Games] superuser25:
Hi I tried this version on my Galaxy j6+ with stock android 10 and after 20 sec the app closes.

I did tried the previous version and the same happened.

I did tried a other modified sony music app and the same happened. It started when i updated the device to Android 10 and when it was running Android 9 the app worked just fine.

More people with Android 10 having this issue it's a bug in that version or in the music app.
[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
@superuser25

use this modded version 9.4.10.A.0.12 [by @repey6]

this one is a bit old but works with Android 10

none of @Pinguin2001 modded versions are compatible with android 10.
[Android Apps and Games] superuser25:
Okay i tried today that modded version and it closes after 20 sec...

Some people have music on the SD card and the device is running Android 10 and then the problem started and some have music on the internal memory and they have no problem because in Android 10 there is a change with the permission.
[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
yes, I forgot to mention, music files must have been placed in internal phone memory, that's a bug in android 10 I guess so if you're stuck with android 10, place music files in internal storage & use that version is your only available option.
[Android Apps and Games] superuser25:
I did find a version that worked and it is from @Pinguin2001 it is a older version someone wanted to instal it on a older Android version below 5 i guess.

Link to apk:

[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
below android v5? But you said you were looking for android 10 right?

So did this particular version you mentioned here actually work with android 10? with music files placed inside the memory card?
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
Hello superuser25, I sadly dont know what the cause of the issue could be, for me everything works, I tried it on my Galaxy A51 running Android 12 and it played music from the sd card perfectly, it seems to be indeed a bug in android 10 just like SM-03 said.
[Android Apps and Games] superuser25:
Yes but album art is blank but it is OK for me.
[Android Apps and Games] superuser25:
Yes, I'm now using a older version you modded that works on Android v4 and it works OK on my phone that is running Android 10 with the music files on the SD card but album art is blank but it doesn't really matter to me.

Thank you for optimizing this app, I moved from using Xperia since 2011 to LG 2020, but I could never get used to other manufacturer's music player, but Sony decided to kill off the music app and the latest universal version on XDA can't use the Favourites feature in Android 11 on my LG V60... So I'm really grateful that someone has actually created this Enhanced version, the Favorites function's working perfectly, but I just have 1 minor gripe...

[Android Apps and Games] nreuge:
Thanks for the port.

It works on my Xiaomi 13 but, unfortunately, I cannot change the speaker volume with this port, this is quite disturbing (I've not tested your previous releases). No such problem with my wired headphones connected to USB DACs by the way.

What android audio output does it uses? Are hi-res 24 bits flac audio files actually rendered in 24 bits through physical USB output?

Keep up the good work (y)
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
Hey,

1) Adjusting your volume should always work, this is handled by the os. I do not understand what you mean, it doesn't have anything to do with this app, does this happen with other music players as well?

2) I have not looked enough into it to know for sure how audio files are rendered. I do know however, that devices such as AirPods render in the AAC codec and thus the quality of the flac files is reduced.

Via the USB output they should be rendered in 24bits, but that's something you have to ask Sony.

Hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] Pinguin2001:
Thanks for the well done bug report. I am waiting for a fix from Sonys side, it should be fixed once sony rolls out A14 stable to their devices.
