[APP] Midomi Music recognition app better than Shazam MusicID

Midomi from the Samsung Omnia II :
Midomi is a Windows Mobile app, which lets you hum or play a song to get the song’s title and artist name.
This is the same app found on the new Samsung Omnia II
Features:
- hum songs to identify
- play song from radio or media player to identify
- lists multiple results after database search
Download (Thanks Quentin-)
Please go over to this thread if you like his work!
He made some patches so that Midomi now fully works!!

Its seems that the original link does not work so I have added a mirror in rapidshare. As Ikkari has said, still only works via WIFI.

Update:
Midomi recently became a PAID app
You'll find it in the Windows Mobile Marketplace for $5.99 Therefore I have to remove the link. Btw when it was free it was just good, but not good enough to pay for it, sometime works sometime doesn´'t. I won't pay 6 bucks for it unless they will provide a higher accuaracy and precision version.

I never got shazam to work, but this works perfectly in combination with WIFI. Thanks for sharing!

just perfect,thanks for sharing!!

Hi new to the forum, I have a stock rom i910 and have unlimited data plan.. I installed the program, but it caused the musicid to stop working. Is there a fix for this? I would like to have both apps one for wifi one for 3g. Also the picture for the musicid app changed is there anyway to restore it?
Thanks to all for this great site.

I installed Midomi on my touch pro and its running perfectly without havung to use wifi mind you!! all systems a go here, this app beats musicid in many ways an its free which makes it even better!!

Don't touch the Menu button it will crash Midomi, you don't need the Menu anyway.
Just do the registry tweak and it will work!

Woo hoo, my first every post here on this great community!!
Anyhow, back to the matter: I have found Midomi not to be as good as Shazam functionally, it certainly cant recognise music from a variety of genres which I've tested out, these range from pop, dnb, dubstep, 80's metal and classical. Shazam recognized many more tracks than Midomi. However Midmi does have a tap/sing feature which is average (not really spot on, even when I play an actual song over it), but its general layout looks nice, which I guess is a plus if you're not bothered about functionality. Shazam works great over WiFi as well as 3G, hope this helps as a we review.
Midomi
Main purpose functionality 3/5
Extra feature 3/5 - Good concept of sing/tap, just doesnt work well
Looks 4/5
Shazam
Main purpose functioanlity 4/5
Extra features 2/5 - No sing/tap, but you can send IDs to other friends
Looks - 3/5 - okay(ish)

I all agree with the test from itsallshots.
Midomi isn't so fantastic in recognition (for example in french music).

Got my Desire! How on earth do I play video?

I had ordered my Desire from Mobiles.co.uk, but as I was driving past CPW in Chiswick on Saturady, I popped in and 15mins later I walked out with one!
I have had an HTC Diamond 2 (WM6.5) and an iPhone in the past, and I am totally delighted with it! Being new to Android, Im just feeling my way round things, but even now, I have to say it is the best phone Ive ever had!
I cannot work out how to play movies on the Desire! I moved a movie file over to the SD card (via USB) and I just cant find any app to play the movie - heck, I cant even find any built in utility to browse the SD card with! Does the Desire have an inbuilt video player, or do I need to install one from the market? Are any highly recommended?
This stupid newbie would really like some help!

If the video is formattet correctly it should be playable from the "Albums" app.
and no native file browser is installed, but I can recommend Estrong file explorer (will also let you browse windows shares on wifi and FTP)

Aaah.... Ill try that! I was looking for some dedicated movie app, but couldnt find one installed. Am I correct in thinking that MP4 format movies (as with the iPhone) are what the Desire plays? And any ideas what the `best` settings I use in my encoder (tmpgenc)?

Hey there. I really reccommend using doubleTwist on your PC - it's free and works really well with the Desire. It syncs your music and video files - and makes all your video files playable on the desire too as it does a conversion during the copy.
I've tested it by syncing a divx file on my pc with the desire - it plays great using the desire video player.

Well I tried a 42minute divx file. It took about 5-10mins to copy (transcoding as it copied I guess) and the quality was perfect. No lip sync issues or anything that you might find in a dodgy conversion.
I took a look at the new file on the SD Card - it was the same size but now intead of the divx file (avi container) it was a .mp4

Ill give it a go when I get in from work

I used super last night to convert an xvid avi, output quality was awful.
Installed double twist which has a striking resemblance of iTunes..lol I thought these android phones were meant to be iphone competition? however they are becoming similar in many ways.. Pinch to zoom, app store, navigation menu sliding.. Itunes/double twist.
Anyway Doubletwist done a great job of converting an xvid avi, although first attempt the converted video was nowhere to be found on my phone after the sync..
So I did it again and watched some 24 on the train this morning.. Quality was great..
Although I did have my touch HD as backup encase the conversion wasn't good.
For any one struggling to find the videos on your phone, open the Photo's app.
Not sure why its called Photos as it opens pictures and videos..

I played with the Video playback functionality on Desire yesterday.
It accepts MP4 container with H.264 video encoding (up to L5.1, but only BASELINE profiles) + AAC for audio.
MP4 - 1000 kbits H.264 + 128 kbits (stereo), 800x480, 25fps MP4 is very fluent.
AVI - isn't supported
XVID may be supported too, but probably only in a MP4 container.

[Q] h264/mkv limitations?

Hi guys,
I'm suffering trying to get some videos to play on my epic. They are MKV: h264 (848x480) and ogg. At first I thought the phone saying it wouldn't support the video was the audio codec, which I tried remuxed as mp3 and wav, neither helped. At this point I am wondering it the h264 resolution isn't supported?
However, another weird issue is my epic also won't play some videos I already reformatted for my ipad.These are MP4: h264 768x576 and AAC. I can't imagine the epic being more limited than the crippled ipad...
Am I missing something here? Everywhere I look, all of these formats are supposed to be supported (well, maybe not ogg). Also, every once in awhile one of these combinations will play, but with missing audio, no subs, can't seek, freezing video, etc. Always some error, and usually just outright says the system doesn't support the format.
Thanks for the help guys, this is stressing me out lol, so sick of trying conversions.

What software are you using? Handbrake with Normal profile works just fine on the Epic (but High Profile does not work).

Last time I tried to find a decent video transcoder for Windows it was a nightmare, maybe this will help you (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_video_conversion_software).
If that doesn't workout you could try this: Find a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, burn it to cd, when its loaded click "Try Ubuntu", and once connected to the internet press Alt+F2 and copy in "(sudo apt-get install arista); arista-gtk". I tried another program called Transmaggedon, but although it gave more control over transcoding, it didn't appear to work.

Ya handbreak did work. Unfortunately I still have to demux both the original and post-hb file to transfer the subs over as handbreak isn't doing it.
Thx for the help. I would still like to know the resolution limitation tho so if anyone knows...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

So I have been fooling around with it some more and found that when I recode using handbreak I don't need to change the vid resolution, just have to force it to 24fps and everything, vid/audio/subs, sync fine (source is 30fps).
I don't think the epic supports ogg/vorbis audio, which explains why the source material didn't work, but then after remuxing with compatible audio why wouldn't it work? All I can think of is handbreak is compressing the bitrate even though I'm not changing any settings there...
I'll update with any new findings.

I took another look around and it looks like SUPER would work quite well. It can use FFmpeg which has support for pretty much every known format and gives you a lot of control over the output. I really didn't expect to find anything this good on Windows, but FFmpeg was originally used under GNU/Linux, so it isn't as surprising.

Strange, I run mkv with no problem at all. I use Double Twist as my player. Not sure whether this has built in codecs for mkv. I never checked because I can play everything on my phone. Except damn Netflix of course.

Thx for the recommendation chinoto.
The mkv capablity should be built into the phone independent of the software playing it (at least that's my understanding). All of my reencoded mkv's are working fine which I'm attrbuting to the lower bit rate.
The original bitrate was 1,534Kbps (video), handbreak compresses it to 681Kbps at the same resolution (24fps from 30fps original for sync though).
What's the highest bitrate you guys have had work correctly (no syncing issues even after seeking)?

Yeah thy switched something from 2.1 to 2.2
I just tried to play my frst 720p .mkv in a while on my phone and it wouldn't play in the stock player (it would before...with subtitles.) So I dl'ed rockplayer lite and it says hardware acceleration not available but it plays...with distorted sound and the image is all jumpy.
QQ player flat out says "audio codec not supported"
All of this worked perfectly wth stock player on di18/dk28

Tubemate 1080p + redesign concept

Hi. When I received HTC One I've noticed that tubemate lacks support for 1080p devices + buttons there are rather ugly, so I thought that it'd be cool to have some fresh redesign which I made...If creator of tubemate would have replied, I think we could get it to work

There is no download YET. There will be probably SOON, if creator of tubemates will give me an answer. (I've already sent him messages on facebook, mail, google+ but no answer yet)

Wasnt aware the Api was sorted now. There wer major issues recently, Youtube not giving all access and all that.
Good to see it up and running again. :good:
Looks good. Will give it a try when you get the green light for a release.

Broken images unfortunately :/
But I'm sure it's good. Almost anything is better imo

I own an unlocked HTC One like I assume the author does too. I think that the problem he is trying to solve is, that Tubemate doesn't support 1080p playing/streaming on the HTC One. Downloading works, even though Tubemate has to convert the Video after it is downloaded, for some reason, and it only works with the Armv7 Codec and you have to tick a box in the settings to enable HD download. For this tubemate then uses the free app "Mp3 Video downloader", which is clearly also used to now actually convert Videos into MP3 instead of just renaming the download MP4 video file into a Mp3 file, like it was done in previous versions. This is not a problem of the player used (android player or tubemate player) but more a problem of the app itself not recognizing that the HTC One has a 1080p display. See, if you select "1080x1820 high end devices only" it gives the message "Not Supported". This makes sense, since on this page: http://slideme.org/application/tubemate-2 there is a list of resolutions available and there it says
"
[Available resolutions]
1920x1080(Full-HD): GalaxyTab, Galaxy S2, PC
1280x720(HD): high-end devices
"
So clearly the tubemate developers enabled 1080p playback on Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy S2, but not for the HTC One. Weirdly on my previous phone, a HTC One S, I could always select 1080p playing and it would always work, even though the HTC One S has only a 720p display, so that's kinda strange..
Also, I don't really think that a redesign is necessary, i am kinda happy with the current design.
Also, the app the guy right before me linked also only supports 1080p download but not playing so it offers the same as Tubemate.
And there is also another Youtbe HD playback app but that doesn't get updated anymore, so It actually works with an old and less functional version of the android YouTube player than the current one link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715.
I am really interested in this idea of adding this feature, and possibly add even more devices with 1080p screens, since there are way more auch devices available and I am assuming most of them can't play 1080p videos, since the native YouTube player (at least in my HTC One) only supports resolutions up to 720p and I would really like the developers of Tubemate to find this and work on this issue.
Btw, I don't know if it matters but my devices (HTC One and HTC One S) were both rooted and on the newest available stock Rom which is on my HTC One S currently android 4.3.

[Q] Does Flash Player work the Galaxy Tab S

Has anyone tried the flash player for KitKat? If so, can you watch full-screen flash videos? If it can play flash videos in full-screen then I'll probably get it. Unfortunately websites have not moved away from flash as quickly as I hoped and it's still a requirement for any android device I own.
Thanks for your help
Edit: Sorry for the typo in the title

I know the method for using flash on KitKat, but I want to know if it actually works. When I upgraded my G2 to KitKat, flash player was still glitchy even with the KitKat flash player mod and Dolphin Jetpack. I couldn't full-screen the video and changing the video quality on YouTube made the player freeze. As a result, I'm back on Jellybean. With the Tab S I can't stay on or downgrade to Jellybean if I have similar problems.

Yep it works. You may still have a bug or two from times to times.
