Hello.
After rooting my LG Thrill, and freezing/deleting some default applications (such as default music player), these buttons appeared in my notification bar. They look cool, but this is the only thing they do. No reaction on simple touch or long press.
I would really like to remove them or make them work. Any help is welcome.
Thank You, and sorry for my bad english

Its a result of you freezing your music app... it wont go away till you restore it. Or if you want to try your hand at changing the code to remove it from the notification area
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G...
I'm afraid i lack some knowledge to change code. This is my first smartphon and i got it like 2 weeks ago. Thank you though.Will try to restore default music player.
And i would be really thankful if You could get me some tips on how to change that code.
Man... I think the stock music player is just fine and happen to enjoy the controls in the notification area.... why err'body hatin' all the time dizzang.
I'm not hating it, it's just, there are players that can give you more control over your music, with more settings and better sound quality

I'm in the same boat! I just like power amp more. I don't want that installed if I'm never going to use it.. But I don't want the non functional controls taking up screen space either. I was surprised to disable it, remove the app - then see it return.
I've seen some people remove it on lg p990's I think, we could probably do something similar - but it looked complex. If it was as simple as changing a text file...
If u just want to remove it from the notification bar open the music app hit the menu button then click settings and unclick the music player in notification. Hope this helps

Just downloaded and tried '3' Music Player and it's very very good... Definately worth checking out...
Search for RockOn in the market and it's the app with a small "3"
Yeah I tried it. its pretty cool just needs alittle bit more tuning.
It stops playing for me when the screen turns off. Anyone else having this issue?
Looks sick, and hella smooth though

Not having that problem myself!
From what I've read theres a lot more to come from the dev on this one...
Yep! ³ has definitely replaced my default music app. I can't wait to see what he adds to it next.
Whoa! Crazy concept that one is.
Would be great if you had the option to have song/album/artist lists instead of JUST an album cube...
Best music app for Android I've seen.
One annoying feature, if you enable the headphone controls, it starts the player whenever you push the button (i.e. skipping a song in Pandora launches RockOn3 and they play simultaneously). Would be great if there was a playlist by folder creation function as well.
i got a problem with dis player it get freezed i dono y.... pls help me....
I just tried this out and it certainly contains the eye candy I love while still mainting usability. If I go past the Z however, it spins the opposite direction without stopping. I have to go to view mode then back to the three to stop it.
I love the automatic album art downloader too. Does it save the art to the actual mp3 file or to the app itself?
Crazy concept. I like it!
For some reason, I can't find it in the market. Is it still there?
so search Rockon and you will find it

Yep, search for rockon and it's the third one down if i remember correctly. unfortunately the "3" is "³" as in cubed. Not sure why they chose such a hard to search for name...
I hate to say it but I've moved back to the stock music player. I can't stand how this player functions and it is painfully slow.
Looking for a full features (think iPod with a good widget) music player app that displays album are beautifully with the Widget on the desktop and is also quite useful... opinions ?
So there are no good music apps for Android?
Go with Cubed (^3) and you will never look back. Granted the 5.1 surround sound in the stock player was nice but I don't miss it.

Awesome music player, thanks
MixZing is really good and full features. Only con is it's expensive at $6.99
I use the Music player from the Cyanogen ROMs. I found it over on their forum somewhere.

I like the Samsung player. My only complaint with it is that it's a bit tedious to set up playlists on, and no widget surpoort. There are a number of really great widgets for the stock Android player, for which I believe I saw a thread that will help you install it, but I haven't gone through the effort to install it so I can't comment much on it.
Cubed is kind of a neat player, great for showing off, but the eye candy makes browsing fairly inefficient (imho), and having the controls at the top of the screen is a pain.

Cubed is good unless you plan on using the lock screen option, then it's garbage.
I was unimpressed with ^3/Cubed. Nice eye candy, but hardly functional.
I have Mixzing installed and it seems useful, but it's my secondary music player right now.
TuneWiki was cool for the lyrics display feature, but the interface is ugly as all hell.
DoubleTwist is the nicest looking and most polished of the bunch, but also no support for m3u playlists not synced via the DoubleTwist client (which was unacceptably slow for me). Maybe I'm just using it wrong.
The default Samsung player would have been great if it would just recognize my m3u playlists. WTF, Samsung.
As is, I actually installed the stock Android player. It's minimal and functional. I've heard MusicMod is a nice addition to it, but it looks like the latest version is only supported on Froyo.
I ended up going back to the default Samsung Player. The lock screen widget works the best of all the apps I tried and it has no issue seeing my playlists I sync over using iSyncr. Its biggest weakness is the lack of controls via the headset button. Play/Pause works but no forward or back.
A friend used bTunes which looks the nicest out there IMO. A close second was Doubletwist but the lack of a lockscreen widget was a deal breaker. Thing I hate the most from all 3rd party apps I tried (aside from dT) was that they all indexed multiple copies of my playlists. It was a pain trying to guess which of the 4-6 copies of my playlists I saw would actually have the music inside them and I got tired of always deleting the blank ones everytime I sync'd.
If Samsung can add some additional headset controls and a smart playlist feature I will be very happy.
I have to say though that the stock Samsung Player is quite handy and non-laggy.
I especially like the 5.1 option, which is god-like.
Other than that, it doesn't have many features but it is convenient.
Nobody has mentioned Meridian; I like it quite a lot.

I'm with you. The 5.1 in my car sounds amazing. I wish I had two options though:
1. I want to "lock" to landscape, without auto-rotate to the CD GUI.
2. It only rotates one way! Turn the phone on it's right side, and the CD GUI is upside down.
If these two issues had workarounds, it would be perfect.
I like DoubleTwist....
I've been using btunes with Widget locker to get lock screen controls. Works nicely!
I use museek. I loved the samsung player but the only issue with it was the sever lack of a random play mode.
Museek REQUIRES ID3 tags.
Museek supports album covers, Last.FM scrobbling, Sleep(auto stop), Lock Orientation,Gapless playback, and its free.
Play modes are: Repeat all, Shuffle (with the option to shuffle whole collection or just with in the playlist), Smart shuffle, Play similar songs (with the option to avoid repeating an artist until a specified threshold of songs have played).

Stock Samsung player has shuffle. Tap the screen and it's the two intertwining arrows just above the progress bar on the left.
So what players have a lock screen function? I hate the dang lock screen on this thing. Maybe I can turn it off, never thought about that.. heh.
The ONLY thing that I don't like about the stock music player is the fact that songs without album art show some gay-looking colored circles... Why not just a simple neutral graphic? Why not give an option to change the default picture?
Hello All!
It seems line not so long ago I was joining XDA to get help with my HTC Mogul. Seems so long ago. We have all come a long way since then, and I’m here today to announce my new Android application.
simplePLAY is a media player that adds some unique functionality for browsing tracks, as well as simplifying the play screen functionality. See below for detailed information, as well as links to purchase for a measly 99 cents on the Android market.
If anyone has any questions or comments I will try to address them here.
Thank you all for the support throughout my years here!

simplePLAY
Enjoy your music and podcasts with ease using simplePlay, the new media player from Twisted Pixels Multimedia.
simplePLAY allows you to browse your music files with ease, using unique features like Quick Letter to jump to a specific letter while browsing.
Pressing the playing tab in the bottom of the corner takes you the "No Look" playing screen, where you can swipe left or right to navigate tracks, tap the screen to play and pause, or swipe down return to the library. No wrong buttons to press, no fumbling for the right function. Simple. Safe. Great for attention free shuffling while driving.
Other features include:
• Theme Support (Light, Dark, more to come)
• High Resolution Album Art Downloading
• Fullscreen functionality
• Optional screen lock while powered
• Podcast support includes bookmarking functionality.
Market Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twistedpixels.simple_play
Purchased right away, as I really like the idea of this player.
I've only been playing with it for a short while, but here's a few thoughts...
I like:
Lovely clean & minimalistic look.
The "quick-jump by letters" feature makes the library a pleasure to use!
Gestures.
Podcast playback with resume.
Responsive and fast.
What I'd like to see implemented or improved:
Lockscreen widget!
Being able to override the functionality of volume buttons while locked. PlayerPro allows me to use these buttons to change/skip songs (long press) as well as adjust volume (short press), while on the lockscreen. This makes the player easy to operate while still in my pocket.
The buttonless interface is great, but a (optional) position slider would be very useful in the podcast mode.
Perhaps a equalizer?
Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the feedback!
I continue to try and improve the app, and will add all of your suggestions to my to-do list. Lockscreen and volume button controls are not included natively, but do work with some custom ROMs. I will look into adding these in the future.
I have also received numerous requests for a time slider, and I will be adding that and a volume slider soon. The playing screen will keep it's simplistic design, but additional controls will be brought up with a double tap.
Thanks again for supporting!
Josh
What are the widgets like, if there are any? I couldn't see any in the video.
Thanks for considering my previous requests I would also like to add another one:
Please stop invoking the media scanner every time the player is launched.
wow man, i like the simplicity!!! kudos

Thank you all for the kind comments. Update went out last night with some interface tweaks and a new theme.
Next update should be a big one with time and volume sliders and a homescreen widget.
If you would like to help spread the word you can follow the official Twisted Pixels twitter account or my personal twitter here.
Thank You Guys!
Josh
Purchased. Like a lot. Needs a few improvements.
Ability to easily play all songs in an album without having to menu -> play all.
When a song is selected from within an album, only that song plays. It would be nice if the other songs in the album were added to the "playlist" so that once again I didnt have to select menu -> play all
ummmm im alittle scared....i went to the developers website (twisted pixels) and it says hacked by arab something O_O
Hi All.
Sorry about the website. It did get hacked, as did other sites on the same server farm. I have my webhost working on it and it should be back up later today. Just keep in mind that simplePLAY was developed entirely separate from the site, and there is no risk involved in purchasing.
The app has really taken off since being featured on AndroidCentral yesterday, and I want to keep the momentum by adding some features being requested.
In response to jhotmann:
If you want to play or queue an entire album you can do so by holding down the selection from the album menu. This works from the Artist menu as well.
Any other questions or requests?
Purchased this app, so far I'm loving it. Despite some missing features, it's a really good player. As people have said, a nice widget and some extra controls would be nice for the next update. Keep up the good work!
Is there a way to go directly to an album list.
Currently it seems I have to go into artist, then select the album they're in, it seems a bit backwards.
i purshased the app and it did not download...it stays stuck on downloading...i have the email to prove the i brought the app but i havent been able to download it....any way i can contact you so you can help me fix this problem =/

I'm sorry you are having trouble downloading, but there is nothing I can do from the developer side to fix a stuck download. I believe this is either a problem with the market, your device or a combination of both.
If there are any other developers who can suggest how to fix this please let me know and i would be happy to help.

i happy you finally responded....and i have the email to prove that i brought it legally from the android market....i doubt its my device because i have a tmobile G2 unrooted.....do u have a email address so i can fowward you the bill from google that shows i dowloaded it so u can maybe send me the apk so i can manually download or something....or maybe update the apk in the marketplace so i can try downloading it again?
MMontanez347,
There will be an update posted soon. Please try downloading again from the market when the new version is posted.
Sorry for the trouble,
Josh
Looks awesome, looks like the Zune HD interface
Purchased

Two simple questions
Hi! This app is really awesome, and i want to buy it , but first i need to know two things.
1) The app has a lastfm support?
2) If i disconnect the headphones the music stops?
If the app can make this two things then i buy it
Good job!
Edit: Nevermind... I buy the app and do all the things that i need! I really want to participate translating the app... There is a way to help in the translation to spanish? Cheers!
Hi,
i cant play my musics on the cloud with google music. And if i choose a playlist to listen offline cant download the songs! Just notice this sincer yesterday...
problem resolved... i went to google music phone permission in my browser on the pc and deleted all the phones there. Now it works
Yeah I have a problem too with this Big long redesign g-music.....WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN TO SOME SIMPLE LOCK SCREEN CONTROLS. They are trying to make a sink in the music market with this NEW UI but still no new widget design or lockscreen function. Please somebody come up with a modded g-music with some simple lockscreen function like i notice with alot of other modified g-apps.
Its coming in ICS. If you're like us and you've been running it you'll notice the lock screen has music controls and so does the notification bar.

you could put the mp3 in a "Ringtones" folder, then pick the file from sound in settings.
With ringdroid i can only set it as a notification,can't use it as ringtone.
And tried to copy the file to the Music folder and media/audio folder but i can't see it in my settings
Default music player does let you set the ring tone-
Just "long press" on the track and the option appears:

Is the Smartwatch any good?
Good question, I won my smart watch in a phones4u comp, I thinks it's great but not sure I would feel that way if I paid full Price.
If you set the clock display to always on the battery won't last a day. I have it set to come on when double tapping the screen. Not so handy if your struggling with the shopping!
Other than that it's pretty impressive, being able to quickly glance at notifications saves taking the phone out of your pocket constantly and mp3 control, whilst basic, is a nice touch.
It does however have a detrimental effect on your phones battery and keeps disconnecting from the Z (worked perfect on the S) maybe the next update will sort it.

It does not have a speaker so no good as a hands free, You can answer and reject calls but only any real use if your use a blue tooth headset- or as I do a blue tooth car stereo.

To set one of mp3s as a ringtone you don't need to download anything extra. Just go to the sound setting and on the top right hand side of the screen press the Music Symbol and then you'll have access to all your music on your pone.
Revert back to default ringtones folder
GO TO->Settings->Apps->all->Tap on THREE dots & reset apps preferences.
NOW GO TO-.SETTINGS->SOUND->UNDER RINGTONES&VIBRATIONS, TAP->PHONE RINGTONES->TAP SIM1/SIM2->U'LL FIND SOUND PICKER,FILE COMMANDER & SO;SELECT SOUND PICKER TO SELECT XPERIA'S PRELOADED RINGTONES,THAT'S IT!
