New Google Music App is So Slow - Desire outperformed? - Desire General

Hey there,
just tried the new google music app introduced by today's I/O Conference.
(In case you cant download on the market due to regional settings try to search for the apk by twitter)
One thing I realized was that the application is incredible slow, sluggish and makes the desire feel like an old device that is not capable of the requirements of the new ice scream sandwich android release.
What do you think? In case the whole OS is sluggish as the music app the days of the desire seem to be over.
Regards

I used out both on my tab, and desire ! I'm not finding any lag what so ever! In fact it's bloody smooth
Tab - android 2.2
Desire - RCMix S - android 2.3.3
Edit: my only complain is there are no lockscreen controls

For root users who can't find it, use market enabler, and you'll be able to find it

apk is in this thread for you guys outside US

Works ok for me on my Desire

7mb is a fairly hefty app though

Running fine for me... CM7.0.3
Only problem is the PC version is not available in the UK so cant fully benefit! Hope it comes soon!!!!!!!!!!!

Not slow at all, using DevNull and it flies here...

Not really, the details in the Manage Apps list aren't accurate, Angry Birds takes up 17Mb but only shows as 384Kb

im running devnull myself, probably the fastest and cleanest rom around with the best performance. nevertheless you can see that the animations etc. are NOT fluid. I dont think anybody can deny that.

Hey,
Have you installed some background music enhancer.. in my case installing livefx was slowing the app down. Now it is up in flames

i think its also pretty damn useless comparing to the other music apps on the market which have tons of useful settings etc
installed to try out the cloud which doesnt work anyway so it is a completely useless app for me

Leaked next version android music app

I'm sure most of us here have heard of this leaked app that is supposedly an early music app for Honeycomb. Just thought i'd share a link to a site to download it.
Link to download site: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/27/download-honeycomb-music-player-from-google-io/
Youtube video showcasing this early dev build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZGw8TxCtNg&feature=related
** This is assumed to be a leaked early developer version! I had no hand in developing this! I'm not responsible for any damage that installing this app may cause, just delivering the message!
Enjoy!
Looks pretty sweet, a lot better than the current music app. Thanks for this.
Been running the app for 2 days... no fc's or problems at all... its about time they cleaned up the crappy stock music player.
Teleported with mind bullets via XDA App.
Yeah, i'm diggin the color fade between screens.
Whouda thought Android would have a bit of gangster in it? lol
Would love to have an eq though, unless i'm missing it.
woot thanks for sharing. just installed it.
Just installed, now time to remove the default app, thought this was going to replace it but didnt lol
It replaced my stock music app. But my question is, what is that jumper test for?

When I try to install it says parse error. Any idea whats wrong.

using titaniam back up just unistall the music player i think the version is 2.x.x
or just set the 3.0 music version to default...
i unistalled due to the bugginess still, and all the battery it burned... it also used a lot of RAM... i did enjoy the new look tho, will be cool to use when the complete version is out...
I like the coloring and much nicer looking set up.

It is nice-it works pretty well, I was just wondering if there is a way to update the stcok music app insted of having both of then installed?
I am running stock software on my G2 without root.
Thanks.

You won't be able to remove the stock music app without root. You need write access to /system/app to modify the contents.
Whats the additional jumper app for?

Twitter on GN

Hi all,
Is it only me who feels bad about official twitter app - I mean bad performance & lag on GN 4.0.2?

Go to settings and turn on GPU acceleration. It makes pretty much everything faster and without lag.
Use Seesmic - by far the best twitter client imo.

This, sort of. It will make twitter run smooth but some apps won't work altogether with it enabled. (Just some examples Capital One Mobile app, and Asphalt 6).

have you tried TweakDeck yet? its what was originally TweetDeck until Twitter bought them and stripped the best features from it.

with gpu accerleration selected im sorry i can't agree with this thread. twitter works perfect with no lag at all when this is selected, i honestly don't know how much faster you can expect this to be. and this is someone who owns every pro version of every twitter app

Yeah have tried them all, but keep going back to seesmic. Even though it FC's sometimes on ICS..
Just played with Twitter on my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S Vibrant (with Passion ICS) and it seems like it's noticeably quicker at scrolling and opening tweets on my Vibrant.
Weird. It still works well enough on the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not bothered by it. Kinda surprised though that it is a bit slower, I guess the larger screen, dunno.
Thank you all...
I tried them all. I prefer hootsuite. But recently I wanted to try the official twitter app (never tried the new design version before). I like the rich features it has and the design. But the last few days was bad experience with this app. It lags. The drag to refresh keeps running so when i get back to app, I often don't find my time line at the same position I left it.
Thanks for the new thing I learnt now: 2d GPU rendering. Yes I noticed smoothness but some other apps were distorted, e.g., mynetdiary and hootsuite itself.

I use ubersocial without acceleration and it's lag free

Replying to tweets is noticeably slower on my phone than my girlfriend's myTouch 4G. I think it's just an optimization thing as I believe AP or AC did an article on the slowness of the app on ICS. It is what it is...

Yes i get bad lag on the official twitter app too. Gpu hardware enabled does not help at all either. But its always been like this for me and the twitter app had identical lag on my atrix too. So i always thought this app had issues, not my phones.
I'm not really fussed about the speed of Twitter, I just wish it would sync my Twitter friends and contacts..... Constantly get a "Sync Error".

Best to switch to a different Twitter app. using 2D rendering might benefit the official Twitter app but might work against other apps.

really ad free? that is stupid. Lets use an app for free and not support the dev that is offering it to you for free....
About Ad Free, I really don't mind seeing ads in apps, but when I'm out and about browsing the web, I don't like how web pages load much slower, and unnecessary data usage. To each his own, I suppose.

XDA dosent allow warez if im correct...
and Blops 1.0.5 From GPlay dosent work either as 1.0.5 activision dropped support for us...
Xdarkmario. You should immediately remove that link. You will get am infraction or at worst case banned. XDA has a zero tolerance for warez.
On another note I have v 1.0.5 installed and it shows in the launcher and plays just fine, of you like the way activision did the touchpads that is..... which I don't care for.

Hi guys I got COD-BOZ working on my mt 6577 device by using GLtools.I just downscale the texture to 0.5x and its working fine now
Hope this helps..
I bought the game from Google Play.
Works fine. BUT! Everytime I want to play online.
I need to clean up all ram used. Restart the game and connect online again, create game and mist of the time I get a insta connection with a player.
If that game is finished I need to redo those steps.
If I dont, I can't get a connection. The game will sometimes create a lobby, but no player shall connect to the lobby, no matter the time you wait.
And other times it's searching for the host.
Followed by joining the room message and eventualy error joining room.
Anyone know how to fix this?
(I'm using Samsung Galaxy S6, so sorry if this is posted in the wrong place)

Games that work well on Desire

I created this topic to share some games with you guys that work well with the Desire i.e. are not laggy ( or quite playable) and also you could post some games too so we could all try some fantastic games which we never knew about
I will start :
Clash of Clans ( work very smoothly
Basketball Shoot ( very smooth )
Break the Bricks ( very smooth )
Jewels Star 2 ( very smooth )
Piano tiles ( smooth )
Minecraft ( we all know it , but the game is working quite good if we set the visibility from far too near and no fancy graphics)
Thats it for now but I'll add more to that list over time.
All games are played on Evervolv 4.4.4 ROM. Lets go !
