[Q] music.apk problem

the playlist won't get updated when I add new song, is there anyway to go around this problem instead of restarting the phone?

Actually, it's ROM-dependent. But for CM-based ROMs, mostly in my experience, you'd have to restart the phone.

[Q] Headset song forward,backward scrolling

Hello
I have following headset
Is it possible to make it fast forward/back song when prev/next buttons are held?
Any setting or specific player is able to achieve this?

Try using poweramp player from store..

Thanks for suggestion, but is there any more light weight alternative? I don't really need all those extra features.

Hmmm....
use player pro

Unfortunately PlayerPro does not allow to seek with headset controls, only with the ones on screen.

I got this one with GingerZaraki, It also only allows on screen hold seek, not on headset controls.
So currently only poweramp works this way

[Trick] Uber loud music on headphones ! [movie added]

Okay so here we go!
I wanna show you how can u quickly increase volume of your headphones.
First of all you don't need special downloads, just try with your best music player (i'm using PowerAmp).
Follow this steps:
1. Connect your headphones to your uber Ace I
2. Turn on FM radio. Choice some station, make volume 0.
3. Back to menu without closing radio.
4. Turn on music player (like PowerAmp) and play music.
The radio will switch off when u hit play.
5. Back to menu (still playing music in background).
6. Turn FM radio on again.
7. Feel the difference )
--- If something goes wrong try again switch player / radio on. Working with all roms (not tested on CM).
Known isues:
* sometimes when your music player is in background, volumeup key will increase both radio and player volume. (if player is on screen then is okay).
* you can destroy headphones by using max volume all the time.
* your head may explode
SO USE THIS WITH BRAIN !
Hit THANKS if you like this and leave comment of your experience

try this method few times... switching on radio / player. You should finally find method to do this.
edit:
* try to start with player, then radio, then again player and radio again. FM radio for the second run should turn on only by clicking on icon - nothing more.
* try to kill radio and PowerAmp process before.
+ suggestions:
maybe it depend what kernel u got. I am always using Rafael's one. Ofc it's only my suggestion, nothing more.

not working

If someone watched movie, You can see that i got modified Radio. This one is from sgs3 v5 rom by Sniper Killer. I just copy this to Ex-Trim rom by using file manager with root permissions. Anyway, the trick works also on stock radio too. If not work then i'm sad. If some dev may explain me why and how this working (or why i got this beautifull bug) then i'll thanks alot
Maybe this could be usefull do make some sound boosting app.
Movie is not fake. 100 % real record, nothing added or changed.
I used my old sennheiser headphones for better quality of record sound.

It may work for u mostly because of a audio routing bug in the rom u use i think.

Metafy doesnt show track after spotify update :(

Hello.
I've been using an app in my androidphone "Metafy" that shows track and artist on my pebble when using spotify. Since the latest update of Spotify this does not work any more. Any one have the same problem?

Found an alternative app for sending Spotify info to the Pebble music controller that seems to work.
(BTW I'm using galaxy s3 and liquid smooth ROM 4.4.2).

why don't you share what you found as an alternative?

Alternative app
I use Media Utilities. It works with Spotify and Podcast (and possibly more).
The disadvantage is, that it needs notification access to read out the current track/podcast. Additionally the user interface is a little odd and buggy.
But it works and nothing bad has happened yet.
...yay, can't post links as a newbie, but I bet you can find it yourself in the Play store ( com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha )

Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It was not a good solution anyways it was a strange app that constantly increased the volume.
Tried Media Utilities as posted above and it works!
It does not show Album though.
In the app I added spotify, and then in settings under Application Integration i checked the marker next to Pebble Watch.

Use Music Boss to fix this, and you'll also gain the best watch app for Pebble as a bonus n

[App] Google Play Music -> launch and autoplay

Hi all,
I've made a simple app that decreases number of clicks required to play songs via Google Play Music (which is important for safety when you drive).
When you click this app's icon it launches Google Play Music and immediately starts playing. The behaviour is similar to FM radio behaviour on most head units.
You are welcome to download and use it (it's free): Music Start and Play (Google Play Store)

Nice! I haven't received my head unit yet but I'll definitely install this once I get it. Thank you!
Do you plan on doing this for any other music apps?

I've made a similar app for PowerAmp (it is not published in Play Store). But I don't know if anyone need it.

Actually this can be done via the PowerAmp app itself. Therefore I cancelled the app release.
Go to PowerAmp settings -> Audio -> Audio focus -> Resume on start.
Done

Thanks a lot! I did not know it was right under the hood, though hidden in an unsuspecting manner.
