[Q] PowerAmp - problem post 4g upgrade - Xoom Themes and Apps

Since the upgrade to 4g and os v3.2.2, PowerAmp no longer finds my external sd card (mnt/external1). It only seems to find folders in the mnt/sdcard (internal mem) directory. Worked fine before the upgrade, and I really don't want to go back to the stock player.
Anyone else experiencing this, or any ideas for a potential fix?

for me, poweramp never "found" my external1. i could not set external1 as an option to scan or set as the default folder. What i was doing, was, pressing the Library, then albums, and all the stuff on my external1, would show up. There is a beta for version 2 out now, and it cant find anything at all. I signed up to their forum and posted about this, but not only didnt i get a response, the administrators never approved my posts. its been about a week now. So until Poweramp fixes this issue, or until HivePlayer fix the tracklist problem, i will be using the stockplayer.

Thanks - I hate that it isn't working... PA is a great player, and I don't think stock will play my flac files.

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS.
ye ive been using this and its a pretty cool application. has a wide range of videos. try searching top 50 and theres a few good top 50 sports plays. one of them is 22min long. videos load up pretty quickly too...my only problem with this app is that the bookmarks don't always save if you save a few videos at a time.
overall i say give it a shot...alot better than the other options out there
Hello, I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service. I am sorry you are seeing a problem with the bookmarks. I was wondering if you could provide more information on what you are seeing with the bookmarks. Is it just that you are not able to have more than some number of bookmarks? Or is it that if you add more than some number of bookmarks within one session you have a problem? Thanks for any more info you can provide. We are looking into the problem.

The problem occurs in the second instance you mentioned where I cannot save more than a few bookmarks(usually 3 or more) per session.
I dont know if its a problem or not, but when i tell the application that i want to install it on my Storage Card it goes all fine with the installation. When its all done i go and check if it made a folder on my Storage Card and its not there, but then I check on the internal memory programs and its there.
I don't know if I explained my self correctly but thats what happens .

We are aware of the problem that even when you select to install on the Storage card it still installs into the main memory. When we have a solution for this problem, I will post back.

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.
So far I really dig this app...videos work pretty well.
the latest version of vTap doesnt fix the storage card problem.its still exists.

Hi Coolgal302006 - I just want to confirm that you ended up with the latest version of the client. Could you tell me the version that is installed? You can tell this by going from Tools/About. Thanks!
Great post. Very nice application.

Missing Apps in Market after update to FroYo

So I updated to FroYo manually thanks to the methods posted here. I've nearly reinstalled all my apps with the exclusion of one; Square. I cannot find it in the market and thought maybe the dev pulled it, but it shows up in 2.1 and web-based market browsers, just not in 2.2. Anyone else experiencing this? Can I just force the apk onto the phone somehow?

Same here.. seems like the copy protected apps are having problems.
This is not root or something else regarded - everyone has these issues.
Regards
Great to hear I'm not alone, but being an early adopter can sometimes blow (in the BAD way) =\
Is this being discussed in another thread? I did a search prior to posting and came up empty
EDIT: Mods, thanks for moving this to the appropriate forum. I've seen mention of this issue appear in various threads, though no thread of it's own. Will wait for devs to catch up with 2.2
I reported the same problem on modaco last night... I'm sure google will enable de protected apps this week, just a slight oversight on their side.
i had same problem, just put them apk on your sd card and install it. if it is being a stubborn app like a certain few just copy/paste or move them to data/private-app and install from in there. should take care of it 4 u.
Same problem here (Tapatalk Pro and Extended Controls missing).
when you create an app you can set a max api level to support, or not.
applications that have that set won't show on newer devices.
exzeus, square, and a few others seem to have done it...
give them about a month or so and you should see them come around.

reporting in for the same problem!
My App ICE Donate wasn't found either.. I removed the copy protection until Froyo is officially listed - it can be found and downloaded again
I'm missing cachemate, I only see the free version and I've check the box for all sources for apps. astro will not install from my backups

This cant be the reason. i did only do signin via edge!
Having the same issue here. Wife's N1 can't find WeatherBug Elite, or the Helix Launcher in the market. Even after reboot.
Same. Paul actually fixes it in his roms by changing the Rom fingerprint. Some of the unofficial nexus updates he integrated did the same thing to protected apps. Once fingerprint was changed, it seemed to have done the magic. I'm guessing that he will do the same next week for froyo.
Same here my paid app wont show up which means I may be losing sales so I'm pissed right now
Yeah, so no MLB app at the moment... which makes me unhappy.
Any word on an official response from Google yet on this issue?
theres a fix in this thread:

Good looking out. Google needs to address this fast though for the non tech people (and potential app customers)

[Q] Problem with music playback on CM7 Stable

Before I ask my question, I just want to let everyone know that I have searched and searched and searched for the answer to this before posting. Please don't be a troll unless you have a link that helps me. There are thousands upon thousands of pages and unfortunately xda's search function leaves a lot to be desired.
Now, here is my setup:
emmc CM7
Kernel OC'd to 1.1 ghz
DSP equalizer enabled
MortPlayer Music
What I get is a fairly regular skip/pop whenever I play any song from my music collection (mp3/m4a, mostly). Sometimes it will go almost a whole song without skipping but very rarely. From my research I do know that this WAS an issue with CM7 pre-stable release, but now there seems to be no discussion about it. It's not listed in known issues as far as I can tell so I thought this issue was no longer, well, an issue.
Here's all the things I've tried to get the music to work.
1. I dropped the kernel down to 800 mhz, thinking it may be an issue of my Nook not handling the OC'd kernel. Same result.
2. Flashed back to CM7 stock kernel. Same result.
3. Changed music players (stock, Meridian, cubed). Same result.
4. Made sure the files were not corrupted by copying the files to my phone (EVO Shift) and playing them. They play perfectly on my phone.
5. Disabled DSP thinking perhaps I had the level set too high and it was peaking. Same result.
6. Moved music from external storage (sdcard) to internal storage (emmc/My Files/Music) thinking that my class 6 card wasn't being read properly. Seemed to fix it for the first song or two, then same result.
7. Flashed phiremod 4/13 version, which again, seemed to help at first, then I got the same result.
8. Added (then removed) Auto Killer Memory Optimizer thinking that perhaps memory was getting low while I was playing music. Removed it thinking that maybe it was constantly trying to kill the Music app. Same result with or without AKMO.
9. Disabled the keep home in memory option in CM Settings thinking it was straining the system. Same result.
10. Dropped performance settings in Launcher Pro thinking the same thing as #9. Same result.
11. Switched launchers. Cm Version ADW, ADW EX, LP, Launcher7, Zeam, the launcher I use makes absolutely no difference.
I'm sure I've tried a few other things that I can't think of, but that is about it. What bugs me about it is that even if I'm not doing anything else on it, i.e., I just let it set and play music, it still skips. Even if I'm not performing other tasks such as surfing the web or playing a game. The other strange thing is that youtube and even flash video in the browser work flawlessly, so I really don't understand what the problem could be. I do know that a while back when the video issues were being ironed out, DSP was broken, but I thought that was fixed by rc4. Flash would presumably take up WAY more resources than the music player, why don't I have any problems with it? Would it be a problem with the audio codecs for mp3/m4a?
I'm really stumped here guys. My hours of searching have proved fruitless, so hopefully someone will have the elusive link I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any help I receive.
I have the same problem. Anyone found a solution for this?

Next nightly should mostly fix the problem.
Thank you dalingrin. I'll make sure to check it out. You and the other devs here are doing a great job. I'll be sure to donate the next time I get paid.

If you don't want to wait the DEV Kernel topic has a ALSA update as well as an experimental 4/13A kernel that together fix this problem. As well as give you quandrant scores close to 2500! =D
Sorry to ask this, but I've been poking around the forums here and over @ the CM site itself and I have not been able to find the thread with this kernel. Could some kind soul take pity on me and point me in the right direction?
Many thanks!
Yeah the 4/13a kernel was one of the things I tried but forgot to mention. Its a little better but the issue remains. I'll wait til the next nightly thanks for the input guys.
And you can find the 4/13a download in the test build folder linked in dalingrin's oc kernel thread.

Kernel Thread
4/13A Test Kernel
Alsa Update - This fixes your issue, even with stock kernel. But works best with 4/13A for extra performance.
Yes I missed that. Thank you sooo much!
EDIT: That fixed it. Again thanks. I hate when I miss something small like that.

Thanks for the fix! Just applied it and 4 songs in....the "snap, crackle, pop" is gone. Happy camper here. Also thanks to the OP for bringing this up in such a thorough way, surprised I had not heard of anyone else having this issue.
Dsp manager
I've noticed for a while now since Nightly 27ish, maybe prior, that my DSP manager doesnt work correctly. To modify the settings through my headset, I actually have to modify the Phone Speaker settings.
Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?
Not sure this is the correct thread, but any input would be helpful.
Hitting this again on CM-7.1.0-stable
First off, this is by far the best and most thorough description of the music playback problem that I keep running into, so kudos and thanks to the OP!
But sadly, I upgraded to CM-7.1.0 stable and this is still happening. I see the mention of installing dalingrin's update-alsa-041411.zip, but I can't find that anywhere.
I'm also surprised that this problem is still present in CM 7.1.0 stable. Does anyone know what the new solution for this problem is?

[Q] Ringtones manager that won't reset after adding new music.

so... I'm having a problem.
Every time I add new music to my Captivate, it screws up my ringtones. I'm using whoisit lite to manage them, but it is useless. even its backup get screwed up.
I found this thread where the dude has a similar problem, but mine does not go back to default. they all change to a random music. but no one there posted a solution.
so i'm asking it here: how do I fix this? which app do i have to download to make sure my ringtones won't change every time I add new tunes?
I've had this issue on stock ROMs before as well. It happens because the phone unmounts the sd cards when you put them in mass media mode, so it can't see your custom ringers anymore. I don't know why they get reset sometimes though and not others. Some ROMs did it to me, some didn't, and I don't have a good answer as to the rhyme or reason.
If you're rooted, you can copy your current ringers into system / media / audio / ringtones and they'll stay put (because they won't unmount anymore), but I don't have a great answer for you otherwise.
Does it do it with the stock ringtone picker as well, or just the one you downloaded?
Stock picker have this bug as well. which is why I downloaded whoislite in the first place.
I just downloaded Locale, which handles the contacts ringtones, but does not work with the alarms. but might solve at least 70% of the problem. doing some test right now.
I'm using Andromeda rom, BTW (not sure if its the current or not, tough)

How to stop Note asking what app to use for certain files permanently

I'll probably be told off for this and accused of not searching first, I have and still can't find an answer.
No matter how many times and what file management app I use I'm being asked what app to open say flac, mp3 etc....
I've got my music app and that's what I want to use, nothing else and that goes for all my other files as well.
Is there a reliable method that my phone and tablet will remember allowing me to dedicate an app to each particular file.
Please don't advise for me to clear defaults as I do this then the next day or after a reboot I'm being asked again.
It's a lovely option being asked but it just goes too far, surely once I choose that should be it, period.
Regards,
tj
ps. If this is a common issue can someone steer me to relevant threads as searching has found me very little information.

I'm no expert in this but i suspect you need to tell each file type what YOU want IT to do and it should remember.
Unless you have conflicts going on.
I uninstall **** if it starts causing problems like this.

You can dubbleclick/tap the app you want as default when the dialog pops up.
That should work, if youre asking what i think youre asking.

It seems fragile remebering my choice
Thanks for the replies.
I've always been aware of how to apply a permanent app to open a particular file but it seems pretty fragile. Within weeks I'm being asked again, the phone has always done this since new some 18 months ago.
Just wondered if there was a way to really make my choice permanent. This has all become a bit of a saga for me as recently purchased a Corsair Voyager Air 1TB wifi hard drive.
All my music has been converted to flac and put on this drive, I'm apparently able to select my music playing app in preference to the built in Corsair app but when I try the screen flashes and fails. I know this could be all sorts causing this but thought if I could tell my Note to only use a particular app to open say flac files that would solve the problem.
Or has anyone else got this type of set up that might know of an alternative app that can connect to the drive via it's wifi signal and then open the music playing rather that trying to download.
Or
Could I work with Tasker to correct the problem of not being able to play my music through my preffered app rather than being forced to use the in app player.
