New google music .apk out if you'd like to try it early. And I know you do
Uninstall old GM prior to install.
Also, if you have trouble syncing with your online music try clearing app data, or just uninstall and reinstall and that seems to clear up that issue.
Looks sick. Thanks man.

Thanks for the heads up. I've got the new version installed, it's mostly a nice graphic update. One thing I did notice is that the "make available offline" option is no longer included, which kind of sucks.
Also, I was hoping that there would be some work done on the Music widget, which is frankly pretty lame. Unfortunately the widget looks exactly the same.

"make available offline" is still there- you might have to clear data or uninstall/reinstall
Perfect. Thank you.
Thanks for posting this. I used the beta sparingly but they have Linux support now I hope we get to keep this for free

I recently bought a 32 GB micro SD chip. Makes this a little unneeded. Checked it out any way. Didn't really notice a difference other than the UI looking a little different.

Version? Source?
What version is this? And where did you get it? I'm currently running 3.0.1.399. Is this different than the 4.0.1 ICS build that was leaked recently? I a curious why the file is named "Music2" (as opposed to 3/4). I'm extremely weary of installing something like this on my device.

Don't worry, it's legit. Straight from Android police, and yes it's the ics v4 that was released.

Is anybody else having a problem with album art? I'm using 500x500 or better images but the now playing screen looks like a 50x50 thumbnail stretched. Love the new setup though, landscape mode looks SO much better.

Chrome has become my daily browser since I started using Dolphin with my Nexus One.
With the last update for Chrome and FF09, it's the smoothest browser I've used on Android. However, there are still instances where scrolling is jerky and sometimes scrolling stops working for half a minute. It seems like it only happens when I try to scroll while a page hasn't finished loading, but all of the browsers I've tried seem to have issues with scrolling an incomplete page. Closing and reopening the tab will fix the jerky scrolling.
Chrome also freezes on me forcing me to force stop it through settings -> applications. I cannot reliably reproduce this problem and it is annoying, but the benefits of having access to the open tabs on my computer on my phone outweigh this problem.
I do wish Google would iterate the Chrome beta app as fast as they iterate the desktop version of Chrome beta because I'm assuming they mean for this browser to become to default one on Android and jerky scrolling and freezes is pretty bad.
I absolutely do not know which Chrome people are using that they find "buttery smooth" and "fast". It is a terrible laggy and crappy browser on my end. The last update killed it for me where it only launches to a white screen and just freezes. If and when it does decide to work properly, it's stutters and jib-jabs when scrolling, no flash, just all around terrible. No wonder it's surname is still BETA.
Dolphin browser (mini or HD) puts it to shame, really.
You can also try firefox... It's very smooth, and untill now, I didnt find any problem
I like it but I never use it. No flash is... well, no flash. No plugin support like the rest of em either. you'd think with google being the og devs for android. Could make it all work out.

I am not trying to start a "what is the best browser" war here.
I am using chrome right now but, today I noticed it is seriously draining my battery. I am going turn sync off on it hoping that helps but, I doubt that will do a whole lot.
I would like to know what everyone is using and if it drains the battery a lot or not.

I've always used stock, seems to have most features I need and it seems much faster than the others most of the time, especially when compared to chrome. Chrome's always seemed really slow for me at least. Stock doesn't seem to kill the battery much either.

I generally use the stock browser, but occasionally use Chrome. The stock browser seems to have the best luck with displaying pages correctly.
everytime I try chrome, I'm reminded why I don't use it on android. Much slower loading of most web pages, web pages load weird, etc. As long as a stock browser can pull my chrome desktop bookmarks, that is what I use. Not to mention the stock browser has incognito mode.
Yeah been trying out Firefox and the stock browser lately. I like both of them more than chrome. They seem faster. Not sure how I like Firefox's tab thing though.

I Ann running AOKP but this has always been an issue. What setting do I have to change to get content to display on my browsers? So the screen shots site what a lot of sites look like. It's not all sites but it's some. This one is joann . com / coupon. I was in this site with my wife today and tried to use a coupon. Her stock nexus 4 running 4.3 displays everything just fine. I tried dolphin, which is my default, stock browser, and chrome. They ask display like this. I know it must be a setting but I don't know which one.
My wife is now giving my crap because my "fancy phone that I just can't leave alone isn't working right" and she "just knew I would break something“.

Did you find any apps/.apks that are CheetahMobile/CleanMaster crapware?
I didn't see anything obvious (on my T-Mobile variant),but,I suspect some of the apps with the "Smart" in the app/.apk name may be their garbage.
I'm hoping this crapware,if it's installed,isn't hidden as it is on the AT&T/VZW models of the Note 5.

I pretty much just clicked anything that had the word Verizon in it or didn't look horrible.

Yeah it's not the greatest but it still works well in chrome. Also you get to use everything that you normally do. I personally set up a button widget to turn the VPN on or off.
FWIW, I have the paid version of adguard and find it works extremely well. With paid version you have https ad blocking, in-app ad blocking, and some other useful features. I forget if these additional features are available on free version. But for non rooted phones, I think this is a great option.
Also, Crystal for Samsung Browser will block ads in their app. I don't really have a need for it but it's there anyway lol.

It's super important that you reenable all apps that you've disabled with Package Disabler before you do any update. I learned that the hard way once and my phone was all screwy until I did a factory reset.
