[APP] Mobile Media Manager -[U] 4-10-2013 -[R] 3-22-2012

I have made a media player for windows phone and the goal of it is to expand on features that other media players don't have (including the default zune player) and improve on the faults that other media players have.
This media player is designed to give you a better music listening experience than what the default Zune player offers.

v1.2: fixed bug in which app would crash while in the playlist editor if you navigated away from the app and then navigated back to it; fixed song import from zune playing queue bug; fixed performannce-related bugs
v1.1: first free-version release
Features include:
* big buttons

I will take any and all suggestions for improvement (both the free version and the paid version). If you find something, please post either on the support page or here in this thread. If you like my media player, please rate it on the marketplace.
Warning: After uploading the current version to the marketplace, I discovered that the bug with importing songs into a playlist from the Now Playing which causes the program to crash is back. This only happens if you try to import from Now Playing for a blank playlist (nothing had been added or removed yet). A workaround for this is to add a song to the playlist in the playlist editor (even if you aren't going to add it to your playlist), and then import from Now Playing and remove the song you added (if you don't want to keep it). This bug is present in both the paid version and the free, ad-supported version. I am very sorry for this and I will be uploading a fixed version to the marketplace for certification as soon as possible.
Update(4-2-2012): Version with bug fix currently in apphub certification
Update(5-22-2012): even though it's been out in the marketplace for a couple weeks, Version 1.4 is now out for both paid and free, ad-supported versions
Update(2-26-2013): It's been awhile since I last updated this post with the current status of Mobile Media Manager, but the latest version out is version 2.0.1 (for both free and paid versions). I am planning to release a new (maintenance) version soon (but it does have some new stuff in it too), so I need some testers who can give me some helpful input on how to improve.

-- Reserved--

So is there anything I can improve on (besides the bugs mentioned above)??

Thanks, good app

Yeah, I got some inspiration for the UI from Windows Media Player mobile in Windows Phone 6.5 (Windows Mobile 6.x).

thanks for the app....but i have a question...
can you add the ability to search and find music in other folder in wp7??? i mean like the songs that we reseve via bluetooth...(it goes to my document...or some other folder...)
if you could just add this ability to find mp3 file in other folder (except zune folder) it'll be gr8....(but i think MS won't let you do that.... )

I am currently working on importing from skydrive, but I am just starting on that part. I am also trying to figure out a way to stram audio from the internet (via url given by user). If someone could please direct me to the skydrive api documentation for windows phone, that would be much appreciated.

Would really appreciate it if you can implement a graphic equalizer. I think that's what Zune sorely misses.

Ok, first, I don't think I it's possible to do an equalizer yet programatically. As for folders other than the default program folder or media library, I don't think Microsoft will let me do that.
Also, version 1.4 for both the paid and the free version is now in certification and should be out, pending Microsoft Apphub approval. Version 1.4 will come with support for live tiles.

trying to create playlist, then the application turn me to wp7.5
in 2 versions
omnia i8350W
or if i can put two songs on the list once i come back then the application closes
or if i choose to put on the list {if i can create} an entire album then the application closes

thanks, good app

have you tried?
Don't working normally in Samsung omnia w and in the background the playlist does not switch the SONGS
the application usually collapses

Version 1.4 is now out for both paid and free, ad-supported versions.

Good app . Thanks .

I am currently looking for some beta testers to help improve Mobile Media Manager. If you would like to help, please pm me with your windows live id (and whether your phone is running Windows Phone 7.x or Windows Phone 8).
A new version will be out in a few days which fixes problems with the current version (and also has some new stuff as well).

Version 2.1 has been released for the free version (the paid version update will be following shortly). This version is largely a bug fix version and (for this release) I have removed the limit of 8 songs to a playlist for the fee version. In this release, I have fixed the bug with (quick) playing a system playlist from its live tile. The next version of Mobile Media Manager will have a new splash screen and better support for Windows Phone 8 (now that I finally have some new hardware).

[Android 2.2+] AGS Stream - Download and play Amateur & professional Adventure Games
Adventure Game Studio is Software for Windows that can create 1st and 3rd person point and click adventure games(www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk). Games can run on Windows, Mac, Linux, IOS, Android and Sony PSP. AGS Stream is a tool created for the Adventure Game Engine: AGS(Adventure Game Studio). This tool is not the run-time or engine itself. It is merely an app that will assist in downloading and installing the game of your choosing onto your Android Device. You can purchase the app for $1.15 here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agsstream1.diperla&feature
New Version:
AGS 2.1.5 (2/11/13)
Media:
-Changed the Image logo again to better fit the play store, thanks to Selmiak.
App:
-Resized Icon.
-Fixed an error that appears if the device does not have an internet connection.
-Fixed the notification area to properly tell you when a game is being installed or has succeeded or not.
-Adjusted some layouts for different size devices. It still will not be perfect, but it will be better.
-When clicking on the game download notification, it will take you to the apps main page.
-When clicking on a game, the main page will no longer interrupt the page while loading its list of games.
-Downloading on Tablets has been fixed.
-Fixed an issue where if you downloaded a game and then return to any games listing, the notification would report that the game download was %100 when in fact it was still downloading.
Games:
-Added a new game
AGS:
-Updated to the latest AGS Build.
It is now updated to Version 2.1.1
It contains a few features such as:
-Feature Game (With every update, the Featured Game will change)

A new version of the app will be updated to contain a new list of games and features. This will be done once a week. At times, with the updates, new features will also be made available with the App.
Changelog:
AGS Stream 2.1 Update Log (2/8/2013)
Sorry for this one, I had to pull it originally from the store as I noticed a major bug in it. Either way, I have now re-uploaded and it is ready to go.
Games:
-No new games added. I apologize for that. Getting the kinks out of AGS has been very difficult and I had to focus all my time on that for now. However, the next update will have an additional 21 games, bringing it up to 30 games. That will be later in this week or early next.
Interface:
-Updated the Menu system so that it works with the older and the newer versions of Android OS, especially for devices without a hard menu button.
-We now have an action bar which works very well with the design of the app.
AGS:
-JJS has updated his port to Android and therefore it has been included in this update. A new notable feature is that you can use the menu button to bring up the keyboard. Another feature is that its configuration settings are now available and exposed to outside apps, therefore, In the next version coming, we now can allow users to set configuration options for AGS and for the games in general. At the moment it may work, at times it may not. Need to investigate whats going on.
App:
-The App now properly checks if AGS has been installed or not and will prompt you upon the first time you run the app to install it.
-If you do not have the latest daily build of AGS, the app will also prompt you to update AGS.
-Downloading and extracting has been fixed. Therefore, games will properly install whether you are using viewing the app or the game page or not.
-Notification telling you what percentage of the game is downloaded and what its current process is. Please note though that if your device is charging, the notification may not appear properly.
-Fixed some bug fixes.
-Improved App performance.
Games Page:
-If the game has a Youtube vide, you will now have a menu option to view the youtube video.
-If your game provides you with errors, or if your game is not installed properly, you will have the option to re-install the game now or to delete the game directory.
Release Notes for V2.0.0 (1/31/2013)
App:
-More Games coming soon!
- Added a Genre Page for the games and an installed games view.
- Removed Landscape version and different size versions. The app works on almost %100 of all devices and From Android 3+ you can stretch the app on your screen to make it compatible (Built in feature with Android, not this app). So, the app should look good enough on any device. It may not end up looking pretty, but at the very least, smartphones should look good.
- Changed the application icon (Thanks to Selmiac from the AGS Forums)
- Changed Play Store details and description as well as version number.
- You will have a link that takes you to the Official AGS Web site.
- Demo App will no longer be updated.
Interface:
- Updated the interface to look a little cleaner, have a better color scheme that fits in with AGS and its website.
- We included Menu Item both on the main page and also on the games page itself.
- You can now swipe left to right and vice versa on the main page to switch between pages.
Footprint:
- The app will have a smaller footprint than it did before when adding new games. Before we would add the screenshots into the apps resources, making the app larger and larger. This time around, the games list and page will simply load the games screenshot off the web, meaning that the app size will hardly increase as games are added.
AGS Runtime:
-Latest Run Time Build has been added.
-If you have AGS already installed, you can still install the latest version through the app.
Games Page Features:
- New Menu option to take you to the games official web site.
- New Menu option that takes you to the games AGS Database page where you can find more details about the game and user reviews.
- New Menu option that takes you to the main page.
- New Menu option if the game is installed that launches AGS and allows you to play the game.
- If a Game is installed, you can uninstall the game.
New Features:

- You have a "What is AGS" option in the menu explaining what AGS is.
- You also have an "About" Section giving you information on the team that brought you AGS.
- Added a Progress Notification to the downloads so that you are aware the game is still downloading.
Bug Fixes:
- Some people were saying that they were having download issues. I looked into it, tinkered with what I could and hope that it solved the issue.
- ANR keyDispatchingTimedOut errors that Many Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 users were experiencing should be fixed now, or at the very least, made to happen less frequently.
-Freeze ups after the game downloads have been fixed.
V1.0.3 - 1/16/13 (11:58PM Eastern Time)

-Added a few more games.
-Fixed a couple of bugs
-Added the ability to search for a game as they are put in.

Uploaded a new version. Should be available in the play store in a few hours. Mainly a bug fix edition.

Random Dark Grey Screen on CM12.1

Anyone else having this issue? There doesn't doesn't seem to be any method to the madness; it happens fairly randomly.
It's happened while:
-listening to music with stock CM12.1 music player
-using stock browser
-using Chrome browser
-watching video on YouTube app
It's almost as if the screen turns off, but it's still on. No status bar, no navigation keys. If it happens while listening to music or using YouTube, audio skips for a moment but keeps going.

This happens on the LG G-Pad 8.3, too (CM12/CM12.1 based and AOSP 5.1.1*)
haven't observed this on the Note 3 yet
Could be either a regression, issue originating in Android 5.1.1 (or 5.1) or something introduced by CM12* and backported to AOSP 5.1.1 ROMs
I suspect it's either related to Adreno drivers or Qualcomm stuff (G-Pad also has Adreno & Qualcomm parts according to http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g_(2nd_gen)-6647.php )
since a CM11-based kernel runs fine, so it must be something in sauce (kernel sources)

CM11.0 Question

Could someone tell me if the latest CM 11.0 incorporates amaces and Jon Lee's improvements for screen flicker and smoothness? Jon Lee talked about updating a CM 11.0 ROM with the latest improvements but I don't think he ever got around to it. The reason I don't use one of the newer ROMs is because I use the screen casting feature a lot. Last I saw, amaces wasn't able to get that feature to work on CM 12.0 and CM 13.0.
And if the improvements haven't been incorporated, any chance someone could build a CM 11.0 ROM with them? TIA

FWIW -
I've using CM11 shortly after when it first came out, currently on the 11/22 nightly, and never have had screen flickering problem.
Also, I can do screen mirroring from specific apps (NetFlix, YouTube, ...) to my Panasonic Viera TV and Chromecast, but I've not been able to fire up screen casting via Settings->Display_>Screen Casting.

Thanks for the response. I currently use Temasek's CM11.0 ROM. I've been getting screen flickering when I'm browsing the web. Think I'll do a backup and give the latest CM 11.0 a shot to see if the flickering goes away.
As for screen casting, this is how I got it to work:
I was finally able to get the Nook HD+ to cast to Chromecast. If I used only the Chromecast app, it would immediately disconnect when I would select cast screen to the Chromecast. It turns out I needed the mirror enabler app from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 . And the tricky part is that the latest version of the mirror enabler app (v7) doesn't work with the Nook HD+. You need to use an older version such as v6 or v5.
After downloading mirror enabler v6, I started the app and enabled the 3 options. Then I rebooted the tablet. After it rebooted, I went into Settings>Display>Cast Screen. Make sure the option for Cast Screen is turned on and that you have your Wifi turned on. You should see your Chromecast device listed on your tablet. Just tap on it and it should cast to your TV screen. When you want to disconnect, just tap on the Chromecast device again and hit disconnect. That is basically it.

[UPDATE] Remix OS Player build #B2016091403

Hey guys,
From all the early feedback we've gotten from you about Remix OS Player, we've been able to fix two of the most reported bugs and have a new build for you to download. Here's what we've fixed:
Fixed most of the stuck at loading ("Patience is bitter. But its fruit is sweet.") issues
Fixed Play Store not being able to install apps
You'll know you have the latest one by the file name "Remix OS Player package - B2016091403".
IMPORTANT: Remix OS Player first boot will take several minutes. Subsequent boots will be much faster.

Is it possible to implement some kind of fake wifi connection so that apps that only work with wifi (Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 5) can be used?

The Play Store now updates the pre-installed apps and enables new ones to be installed, but:
1. The apps are updated and installed very slowly. It seems like the player file system is running slowly or there is some other bottleneck.
2. The player seems a lot more sluggish too. Not as responsive.
3. While updating the apps in the Play Store, when one finishes the player goes back to the home screen and minimizes the Play Store app. If you maximize the Play Store app, it continues, but the same thing happens after the next app finishes updating.
4. The install of the Player also seemed to take a lot more time than the previous version.
Hope this helps.
UPDATE:
5. The player just hung on me while in Chrome at the Jide home page. Cursor is unresponsive and the OFF switch on the external control panel does not do anything.
UPDATE 2:
6. I killed the player and rebooted my host system. The player seems much faster now. The problem might have been a resource issue on the host. Hard to say for sure.
UPDATE 3:
7. Just installed the player on another host. Same behavior, so I doubt it was a host issue.

I don't know what is your harware but i don't have any problem with 2 years Asus laptop tp500

yea the video playback and chrome access are a lots slower than previous version...
it seems something is very wrong with the hard drive access.
the lack of open GL ES 3 support and the lack of full screen or game controller support or large HDD image or fake wifi is very worrying for a GAMING centred emulator you are claiming everywhere...
